Who else could it be?
Status Quo starting off our Live Aid show from Wembley Stadium.
If this isn't the best rock'n'roll show ever -
just look at these headlines. Daily Star here.
Live Aid - 16 Hours To Rock The World.
The Sun talking about the £7,000
paid by two people yesterday for tickets.
Live Aid Fever, says the Daily Mirror.
Russia Tunes In For Live Aid, says the Daily Mail.
Since the concert began,
£23,000 have already been raised for Live Aid,
and before we go any further I thought it would be a good idea
to give you information on how you can give money to Live Aid.
Basically there are three ways.
The first is by post and this is the address,
so get your pen and paper ready.
Now if you look in your local paper or the national papers,
you'll probably find a coupon in there as well with that address
written on it - you can stick it on the front of the envelope.
The second way you can pay -
if you've got Access or Visa or American Express cards,
you can phone these telephone numbers now.
Hope you're writing this down.
We'll be going back to those numbers throughout the show,
and if you haven't got a credit card, don't worry -
you can pledge cash on those numbers. We'll repeat them later.
Thirdly, from Monday, you can go into any high street
and go to the banks. These following banks are the ones.
Also at these building societies as well.
If you don't want to do that, nip into a post office.
Just walk in, write "Freepay 262" on a TransCash form,
and hand over the money. All those ways to give to Live Aid.
Our music of Live Aid continues from London with the Style Council!
CHEERING
Thank you. This just shows what can happen when people get together.
This song is dedicated to that spirit.
It's called Internationalists.
# If you believe you have an equal share
# In the whole wide world and all it bears
# And that your share is no less or more than
# Your fellow sisters and brother man
# Then take this knowledge and with it insist
# Declare yourself an internationalist
# If you lay no blame at the feet of next door
# And realise their struggle is also yours
# And that without the strength of us all together
# The world as it stands will remain forever
# Then take this challenge and make it exist
# Rise up as an internationalist
# If your eyes see deeper than the colour of skin
# Then you must also see we are the same within
# And the rights you expect are the rights of all
# Now it's up to you to lead the call
# Liberty must come at the top of the list
# Stand proud as an internationalist
# If you see the mistake in having bosses at all
# You will also see they all must fall
# For under this system there is no such thing
# As the democracy our leaders would sing
# No time for lies now as only truth must persist
# Rise up now and declare yourself an internationalist
# Internationalist
# Come on! Internationalist
# Internationalist
# Internationalist, yeah. #
CHEERING
Thank you!
Cheers.
# You don't have to take this crap
# You don't have to sit back and relax
# You can actually try changing it
# I know we've always been taught to rely
# Upon those in authority
# But you never know until you try
# How things just might be
# If we came together so strongly, yeah
# Are you gonna try to make this work
# Or spend your days down in the dirt?
# You see things can change
# Walls can come tumbling down
# Governments crack and systems fall
# Cos unity is powerful
# Lights go out
# Walls come tumbling down
# Yes, they do, yes, they do
# Ooh, ooh
# The competition is a colour TV
# We're on still pause with the video machine
# That keep you slaves to the HP, yeah
# Until the unity is threatened by
# Those who have and who have not
# Those who are with and those who are without
# And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
# Until you don't know where you are
# Are you gonna get to realise
# The class war's real not mythologised
# And like Jericho
# The walls can come tumbling down
# Governments crack and systems fall
# Cos unity is powerful
# Lights go out
# Walls come tumbling
# Down You'll be too weak to fight it
# Down Oh, less united
# Down Oh, will you deny it?
# Ooh, ooh, ooh
# Are you gonna be threatened by
# The public enemies Number 10
# Those who play the power game
# They take the profits You take the blame
# When they tell you there's no rise in pay
# Are you gonna try to make this work
# Or spend your days down in the dirt?
# You see things can change
# Walls can come tumbling down
# Governments crack and systems fall
# Cos unity is powerful
# Lights go out
# Walls come tumbling down
# Governments crack and systems fall
# Cos unity is powerful
# Lights go out
# Walls come tumbling down
# Governments crack and systems fall
# Cos unity is powerful Wonderful
# Lights go out

# Live Aid from London With BBC TV and Radio 1. #
Well, that was the Style Council - Paul Weller and Mick Talbot.
And backstage at this very moment with the man who organised
this whole event, here's Janice Long. Janice, to you.
You were standing in the Royal Box, I was watching you before
on a monitor, and they began the whole event.
How did it feel for you,
the culmination of all of your hard work?
Well, everybody was crying around me,
and I just thought, "Christ, what a noise!", you know?
And I think then the scale of the thing hit me
when I saw all those people.
And the atmosphere of the thing, you know.
It's not like any other rock gig I've been to.
It's all happened in a relatively short time, hasn't it?
About four months.
How do you hope that the money is going to be used?
What are your priorities now? Keeping people alive, still.
Not just now, but in the long term as well.
I just want to say hello to everyone in Australia,
because they've been going for a few hours now,
and I keep listening to what's going on there, and it's brilliant,
so good luck to you all down there, and thanks for helping.
Is it grain or is it transport that this money's going to be spent on?
Oh, everything. Drilling wells, planting trees,
transport, medicine, shelter.
I'm off. I know, you've got to go on stage. Oh, Mick Talbot!
And Mr Paul Weller, who have literally come off stage
and the poor guys are dripping with sweat because it's so hot out there.
Well, I mean, stupid question, but how did it feel?
I thought it was very good.
I was a bit nervous, but I enjoyed it. What about you, Mick?
Well, it was very nerve-racking before we went on,
but we went out there and once you saw that crowd
you just had to enjoy it, really.
What did you think at the beginning, when the whole thing started?
Because we'd all heard so much about it and you can't actually believe
it's going to begin, can you? Well, I just...
I just think the atmosphere is really good. You can tell backstage,
people are just cooperating with each other, which is, you know,
which is the start of anything.
What is the atmosphere like amongst all of the other bands backstage?
It's a good feeling amongst everyone.
Any sort of personal gripes or criticisms are, you know,
left behind today, which is good.
Yeah. Great thing. Look at you, you're dripping sweat.
Haven't you got a tissue or anything you can wipe yourself with?
It's all sprayed on. It's glycerine.
It's the make-up department, actually. How are the audience?
Terrific, yeah, really good. There's all sorts of different nationalities
out there, which is great. Thank you very much indeed.
I'll let you have a cup of tea or whatever.
Now, don't forget, you can actually pay by post
and we do want your donations.
If you can write... Stop tickling me, Mick Talbot.
..to the National Giro Bank...
Send your money off now.

And here now is the band that's led by the man
who was the spark - Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats!

# You'd better find a way out, hey Kick down the door
# It's a rat trap
# And you've been caught
# In this town Billy says everybody tries to tell you what to do
# In this town Billy says everybody says you better follow rules
# You walk up to the traffic lights
# Switch from your left to right
# You push in that button and when that button comes alight

# Is that any way for a young girl to be?
# "I'm gonna get out of school Work in some factory
# "Work all the hours God gave me Get myself a little easy money"
# Na-na-na
# See, her mind's made up She just walked down the road
# With her hands in her pockets Coat buttoned 'gainst the cold
# She finally finds Billy at the Italian cafe
# And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says
# But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars
# It's a rat trap

How are you?

I want you to help me sing this old northern English folk song.
# There's nothing you can do that can't be done... #
CHEERING
# There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung
# Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
# It's easy
# All you need is love
# All you need is love, love
# Love is all you need
# There's nothing you can make that can't be made
# There's nothing you can say that can't be said

# Love, love, love
CROWD: # Love, love, love
# Love, love, love
# Love, love
# There's nothing you can know that isn't known
# Nothing you can see that isn't shown
# Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're supposed to be
# It's easy
# All you need is love
# All you need is love, love
# Love is all you need
# All you need is love, love
# Love is all you need

CHEERING
I'm joined now... I know it's the norm in this box
to be joined by lots of men in sheepskin coats
who'll say it's all about 90 minutes and it was a 50/50 ball.
I'm pleased to say on this occasion I'm joined by actor John Hurt,
a star in 1984 and lots of other films.
Who are you most wanting to see here today?
Who am I most wanting to see? You're a rock fan, aren't you?
You're in the wrong place if you're not. I love it.
But it's... On a day like today,
it's not a matter of I want to see any particular band -
I want to see them all. Yeah?
You're just here to soak up the whole event.
The whole event. The whole event is such a huge event.
There's never been an event like it in the world before, ever,
and that's quite a big statement.
I have to interrupt you, John, because I've got to say,
about to take the stage is a man
who's widely believed to be my brother, and I'd like to
take this opportunity on worldwide television to deny this.
Oh, I'm told we've got to hold it now.
Oh, quick, they say, he's coming on.
Good afternoon!
CHEERING
We've got a long way to go. Come on, let's keep that energy up, yeah?
# I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
# You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
# It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
# I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
# The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fibre
# My broken spirit is frozen to the core
# I don't want to be here no more
# Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
# Even if it was for just one day
# Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
# Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
# The grass is always greener over there
# Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
# You must be joking You don't know a thing about it
# You've got no problem I'd stay right there if I were you
# I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard I got it
# Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you
# The heat is stifling Each and every nerve and fibre
# My broken spirit is frozen to the core
# I don't want to be here no more
CROWD: # I don't want to be here no more
# I don't want to be here no more
# Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
# Even if it was for just one day
# Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
# Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
# The grass is always greener over there
# Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
# I got it bad... #
Thank you, good afternoon!
CHEERING
How did it go? It was really good. I just got up and did
All You Need Is Love, which was the song I just thought I'd sing.
Cos I couldn't really think of anything else!
What made you sing that one?
Well, because of the time, they approached me to sing solo,
because they couldn't set up yet another band,
and there's not too many people who could play solo.
And it was just, you had to make an impression with one song
and it seems like everybody's singing, so I decided to sing that.
I think they're ahead of time now.
I think I just bought them a couple of minutes.
The red light wasn't on when I was up there, so...
There is a red light...? There's three lights up there giving you,
you know, green for go, amber for two minutes in, and then five,
you've got to get off within a minute otherwise
they've got to revolve the stage or cut the power or something.
How did Band Aid start for you?
When did you first get involved?
Bob Geldof rang me up about six, eight weeks ago now
and just asked me to do this. I was away on tour at great length
when the original record was made and everything, so I don't think...
I wasn't involved with that. Were you sorry that you weren't?
Yeah. You know, I would have... I would have, you know,
swept the floor in the studio or something, I don't know.
Worked the tape machine.

# This may come

# Is it a crime
# That I still want you
# And I want you to want me too?
# Yes, I do
# My love is wider

CHEERING
Bye-bye. Thanks.
All right. I think Janice has got somebody backstage
that she's going to have a word with. Janice, come in.
Thank you. I don't think you look a bit like Desmond Lynham.
Hairy-chested megastar, it's Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet.
Not here alone today, are you? You've got the whole clan.
No, there's the whole lot, there's the whole family.
There's me wife and me mum and dad and me brother and sister,
me grandad, and probably the cat.
That's what's good about today - the camaraderie.
Everybody's there for the whole thing.
I mean, it's like really historical,
so I wouldn't want any of my family or friends to miss out on it.
They're probably all out there now. But it's...
I'm going to go and see them in a minute.
But it's just great fun. I wouldn't want them to miss it.
Are you going to stick around for the whole of the day?
I'm going to be here, yeah. What about the finale at the end?
Well, I don't exactly know what's going to happen.
I think we're singing, you know,
the Feed The World (Do They Know It's Christmas?).
But as yet, I don't really know what's happening.
Might be a few surprises. Tony Hadley,
thank you very much indeed. Cheers. Cheers.

# So many reasons why
# You're the only one who really knew me at all
# So take a look at me now
# Well, there's just an empty space
# And there's nothing left here to remind me

I think it'll be a very long time
before we see or hear anything like that again.
Sting and Phil Collins together, live at Live Aid, in Wembley.
This is Andy Batten-Foster for BBC Two and Radio 1,
and also, of course, all round the world at the moment.
Still to come here in London,
Bryan Ferry, Paul Young and Alison Moyet playing together,
and then we link up with Philadelphia in the United States,
around about five o'clock, that'll be,
and start alternating between the two shows.
If you're watching TV, there's actually a helicopter landing
very near the stage area,
and Phil Collins will be jumping into that to fly off to America
and take part in that end of it in a little while as well.
CHEERING
Hello.
It's a great pleasure to be here with you today,

"Nip downstairs," they said, "and have a word with Howard Jones."
I didn't expect to talk to half the entire bill.
Before we come on to these other two chaps,
we'll just have a quick word with Howard.
It's been an expensive trip for you, I understand.
Was it worth it for just the five minutes on stage?
It would have been worth it just to do one note, I think.
It's been such a great atmosphere and it's such an occasion
that, you know, I would have done anything to be on it.
You have to fly back, you were doing some gigs somewhere else?
That's right - I was doing an American tour
but we cancelled a few gigs at the end and came back.
It must have been all the more difficult for you
cos you were solo on stage. What was going through your head
as you walked up those steps and you went up to the piano?
Well, er, Phil and Sting had just come off
and Phil told me that the piano was a bit dodgy,
so I was thinking, "Oh, God, what's it going to be like?"
What did he say? "Just stick to the white ones"? Yeah, that's right.
It was a token of goodwill, actually.
I didn't mean it as a nobble.
You two lads... This is a BBC economy measure.
We've only got one microphone among us all. Crowd in a bit. Hello!
How did you two lads come to get together to collaborate on this one?
Er, I don't know how... I don't know how we did it.
I don't know. What are you doing here, anyway? I don't know.
We actually... I was going to do it and Sting was going to do it,
and we just decided it would make sense to do a bit together,
you know. Make it look a bit more organised.
We rehearsed on the telephone.
Had a rehearsal over the telephone and that was it.
Didn't want to be over-rehearsed!

Now's the time not to forget what this whole thing is about,
which is raising money for people in Ethiopia, and I've been joined
by Bob Geldof. Hi. We're going to give you the details of exactly
how you can contribute. You can do it in a variety of ways.
Bob, if you'd like to read some of these off here.
BOB READS NUMBERS
You can respond immediately - if you have credit cards, you can ring up
and give them your number and the amount that you want to give.
You can also pledge cash. Right. I mean, that's very important.
There is not enough money coming in
and all these people are not playing for the good of their health.
They're playing for the good of other people's health,
so get your money out now! And phone up and give us the money.
You've got plenty of it, or if you've got none of it,
get it to people who are dying of starvation.
Get on the phone right now.
There's 300 or 200 lines there.
We want to get £1 million out of this country on the telephone
before ten o'clock tonight. So get on now.
I think we should be able to do that because we've already got 550,000,
but we need a great deal more and those people need a great deal more.
Thank you for everybody who's giving us that money.
In America, it's pouring in, in Japan, it's pouring in,
in Europe, it's pouring in. We've got to do it in this country.
I know it's been a while since you heard the last appeal, but come on.
We can do it. Get it out, get on the phone and pledge your money.

Roger, hello. Hi. One of the highlights everyone's anticipating
this afternoon is around eight o'clock,
you'll be performing with The Who. That's right.
Now, what made you decide to re-form for this project?
Well, it's an offer you can't refuse.
I mean, we've had our problems in The Who, as everybody knows,
but, er, this Ethiopian thing and the Band Aid thing all together
is much more important than any of that, so, as I say,
it was an offer we couldn't refuse. And it's great to be doing it.
Did Bob call you, or another of the group?
Yes, he called me, and he swore at me, like, you know...
We couldn't say no.
What numbers will you be doing? How did you decide what you'd be doing?
Er, well, we had a kind of two-minute discussion.
And we thought, well, we'll play most of the things that people know,
like My Generation we must play.
And, of course, Won't Get Fooled Again.
And, well, I'll leave the others as a surprise.
How much rehearsal time have you had?
We did... We did about...
I think we played it twice.
So 40 minutes.
HE LAUGHS
So anything could happen? John was lying when he said half an hour.
It was 40 minutes.
Well, you've taken this unusual step of getting together for this.
Can you just say to the viewers and listeners
how important a cause this is to donate?
Well, you can't ever express how important it is.
If you've got any money out there, please donate it now,
because this is the time. This is a great event.
