  • Hello? Anyone still here in 2024 watching this incredible performance almost 40 years later?? šŸ˜

    I'm 61 years old and watching this still gives me chills. U2 is, and always will be my favorite band of all times!
  • @cjmadison2397
    People arenā€™t overestimating when they say this is one of the greatest live performances in music history. Wow
  • @JohnR32111
    That mic stage tech deserves a gold medal. Dude was lightening fast!

    Bono has my heart. When he called those young ladies to the front; i thought it was the best damn thing. Truly an epic concert & gesture & I wish Id been there to see it. Cheers & Peace out.

    I've seen U2 live several times, but this performance brings me to tears every time I watch it at age 57. So powerful.

    my brother died today. U2 was his lifelong favorite band. His dog's name is Bono. I'm in tears as I write this. Roger battled demons and was one of The Beautiful Souls on this rock we live on. I can't think of a better song to play in tribute. Go easy, my brother. I love you, man.
  • @ScottH.
    Bono was only 25 years old. The confidence and swagger were off the charts. Amazing band!
  • @danielevans9379
    Young and in their prime. So organic, so powerful, so beautiful. Not a band on earth could touch them when they were in that zone.
  • U2 went to another level after that performance and never looked back. My favorite live song ever and I'm 51 today.

    I'm a 64 yrs old man from the north side of Dublin and was grew up about one mile from Paul's house....It didn't happen over night for U2 and at one stage I actually worried that they weren't going to make it. So as you can imagine seeing them at live Aid was monstrous for me.....
  • @carterlaga
    What made this performance so amazing is the song was relatively unknown at the time but everyone could sense this was one of the most electrifying live performances ever. I guess if you still get chills every time you watch this itā€™s all good

    I was 15 when I first saw thisā€¦Iā€™m 53 now and still get goosebumps watching this awesome performance from U2..šŸ‘šŸ˜
  • You can hate on Bono all you want for various reasons, but this is a truly fantastic performance.
  • @vavanz
    Bono is 25 years here. What a gard, charisma, charm. Incredible

    This performance kickstarted the European leg of Live Aid into life. There's been a lot of revisionism since Freddie's death about who stole the show...trust me, watching at the time, people were asking, "Who are these Irish boys??" U2 brought absolute magic (and no little drama) into proceedings. As the evening drew in, Elton John and Queen built on this momentum, making for a magical night of music.
