Watching all of this makes me wonder how they raised any money - different times!

It's interesting to see people's memories of this: I didn't see a single minute of it. Given its prominence in recollections of that era, it does make me wonder just what the hell I was doing on that day. I can't imagine that I'd have wanted to watch hours of it, but I'm surprised that I didn't see any of it.

Same for me. My excuse is I was living in Canada and didn't like stadium gigs, or Queen, or most of the other artists on the bill.
I was 15 and didn't pay it much attention
Famously didn't say "Give us your feckin money" of course.
You certainly started with your ignore list at a very young age
Yep. Back then I generated antibodies to anything mainstream. Canadian radio was unlistenable, and that was only partly due to the 'Canadian content' law (that required a fair % of music played on the radio every hour to be Candian, and there are only so many times you can listen to Big Yellow Taxi without losing the will to live). CITR (Vancouver college radio) was decent, but I think none of the acts on the live aid bill were ever played on that station. Rather than become enraged by stuff I dislike it makes sense to ignore it.
Sorry, I realise you were making a joke
This is shit:
