Queen were superb that day. Really enjoyed Bryan Ferry and I thought that Quo kicked it all off well.

I had a load of video tapes and video'd the whole thing. Wonder where they went....

Claire Hurst ?, Wasn't she also a Belle Star?.

Eric Clapton was spot on in the US, but for me Queen and Dire Straits were awesome at Wembley.

On the flip side, who was the best band/artist not to appear?.

For me because I am a big fan it has to be Thin Lizzy.

Lizzy were great at the time but surely the best band not to appear has got to be the Rolling Stones.

Pink Floyd didn't play Live Aid but they weren't really speaking to each other at the time. (Gilmour played guitar for Bryan Ferry.)

Has to be Queen.

There were some very special performances from Madonna, Status Quo, David Bowie, Simple Minds, Phil Collins, Dire Straights and not forgetting... The Cars

Here's another, which artist played at both venues?

Claire Hurst was playing sax on tour with Hazel Oconner a couple of years ago. there are some clips of her playing "will you" on you tube. quality player.

No it wasn't Prince, here's a clue it was a British band that was replaced.
