  • Resumen

  • On July 13, 1985, the iconic Live Aid concert took place simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia. This groundbreaking event, organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, aimed to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia.

    The concert featured an incredible lineup of music legends, including Queen, U2, David Bowie, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Who, Sting, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Madonna, and many more. The event was broadcast live to an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion people across 150 nations, making it one of the most-watched television events in history.

    One of the most memorable moments of Live Aid was Queen's electrifying 21-minute performance, which has been widely regarded as one of the greatest live performances of all time. Freddie Mercury's incredible stage presence and the band's flawless execution of their hit songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Ga Ga," and "We Are the Champions," left an indelible mark on music history.

    Another notable performance was Phil Collins' transatlantic feat. He performed at Wembley Stadium, then boarded a Concorde supersonic jet to perform at the JFK Stadium on the same day.

    Live Aid raised over £150 million (approximately $245 million) for famine relief in Ethiopia, and it demonstrated the power of music to unite people for a common cause. The event's success inspired future benefit concerts, such as Live 8 in 2005 and One Love Manchester in 2017.

    The legacy of Live Aid continues to resonate with music fans worldwide, and it remains a testament to the incredible impact that musicians can have when they come together for a greater purpose.
