Understand you now mate. Sadly I've never seen that OGWT version, but apparently the whole Live Aid concert is finally being released on DVD this year, so hopefully the uninterupted version will be on that.Beach Hut said:Yes sadly he did, however, when repeated Live Aid highlights were on Old Grey Whistle on New Year's Eve that year they had linked it to how it should have been - it really was a very defining moment in pop culture IMHO

Just to let you know, this information was given out on the Radio 1 News about a month ago. No date set as yet but the Xmas market is favourite. 2 disc set including both the British + US concerts.Beach Hut said:Really - when that it fantastic news.
One of the reasons for the lack of repeats was because it was so unique that everyone waived copyright providing hardly ever repeated.

Maybe not the hippest, trendiest cuts out there in this cerrrrrazy rock world, but tingly anyway.
