Any music fan can tell you exactly where they were on July 13th, 1985. There had never been a concert event of such magnitude-the biggest names in music performing in a concert broadcast live from 2 continents to an audience of over 1.5 billion. It is estimated that 85% of the world’s television sets were tuned in to Live Aid that day. Now, for the first time on home video, you can own the concert that was arguably the biggest rock event in history-featuring David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Sting, The Who, U2, Neil Young, and many, many more. Over 10 hours of performances in a premium-packaged 4-DVD set. Royalties will benefit Band Aid Trust, which continues to provide direct hunger relief in Africa.Billed as “the day music changed history,” the Live Aid concerts of July 13, 1985, were held to raise money to fight the horrifying famines sweeping Africa. The brainchild of Bob Geldof and representing the efforts of countless musicians and technicians, Live Aid was a genuine and inspiring effort to help the victims of an overwhelming calamity. Twenty years after the twin concerts (one in London, one in Philadelphia) were broadcast worldwide, the 4-DVD treatment furthers the cause, with proceeds going toward the Band Aid Trust.
The DVD set opens with a heartbreaking documentary on the crisis, followed by videos of the two hit songs that represented the collaborative nature of Geldof’s efforts—Band Aid’ s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and USA for Africa’s “We Are the World.” Since Live Aid was never intended to be released in a recorded format, preservation of TV footage has been unreliable, resulting in some glaring omissions. Led Zeppelin’s semi-reunion doesn’t appear, and neither does a legendary session with Bob Dylan, Ron Wood, and Keith Richards. Some sets by performers who were popular at the time may inspire either nostalgic glee or head-scratching (Kiki Dee fans, you know who you are). Sprinkled amid these performances are a couple real gems, including a performance by Run DMC, the event’s sole representative of the ascendant rap movement. Much of the music here was a passing fad, but the sentiment that brought it all together is timeless. – Ryan Boudinot

If all the Performances were here – would be near perfect, By
This review is from: Live Aid (4 Disc Set) (DVD)
Today Charity Concerts are very common in the music industry. But when looking at a Charity Concert – the Worldwide July 13, 1985 Live Aid Concert has to be the Granddaddy of them all. It boasted the greatest lineup of musicians ever assembled for one effort. Prior to Live Aid, Woodstock was considered the greatest lineup ever assembled for a concert. Live Aid would far surpass Woodstock. Live Aid would primarily take place from two locations – Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. There would be other feeds from several other countries. The feeds for all of these shows would be synchronized to create one big concert to both the TV audience as well as to the fans in attendance at the venues. I remember the Saturday in July when this show took place. In the United States, the coverage would be split between Cable and Network TV. I think many of us took this for granted – because that would basically be the only day this would ever be broadcasted – and we didn’t see eveything. Unless you had your VCR running, this would be it.- until 19 1/2 years later when the “Live Aid” 4 DVD Set would be released. According to the liner notes, Band Aid Organizer Bob Geldof – for legal reasons, did not want the Live Aid Show recorded or shown again. However, the fact remains that recordings did exist and thus this DVD set was assembled. This 4 DVD Set consists of about 10 hours of Concert and associated extras. The important thing to note is that this is NOT the whole Live Aid Show. There are many parts of the Live Aid Show that are not included. The official reason for things not being included is the claim that the footage doesn’t exist. Therefore things are missing – most notably, the Led Zeppelin Reunion, But still there is plenty of good stuff on this concert and there is enough to give you a good feel for both the atmosphere and flow of the concert from all the venues. Here are 10 great moments from Live Aid that are included on the DVD: 1.U2, “Bad”: This established U2 as an incredible live act. Watch carefully at the end as two young girls literally climb over the crowd at Bono’s invite to join him on stage. 2.Beach Boys, “Would it be nice?”: They might be past their prime, but I thought this was an incredible performance. 3.Dire Straits & Sting, “Money For Nothing”. Live Aid was the place that put this song on the map. It’s probably the only place where you can hear Dire Straits and Sting perform this live – incredible stuff. 4.Queen: All six songs. This was probably one of the last great hurrahs for this band. Freddie Mercury and Co deliver a most passionate performance. Watch how Mercury has complete command of the crowd with “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “Radio Gaga”, and “We are the Champions” 5.Paul McCartney, “Let It Be”. Great penultimate song to the London set. McCartney will be joined by Pete Townshend, David Bowie, Bob Geldof, and Alison Moyet. You can see the audience is exhausted at this point. McCartney and Townshend will lift Geldof over their shoulders. 6.Band Aid Finale: The performance may be out of sync, but its true improvising as you see the London performers perform “Do they Know It’s Christmas”. Why wasn’t Freddie Mercury given a solo bit in this song? 7.Thompson Twins/Madonna/Nile Rodgers/Steve Stevens, “Revolution”. Live Aid gave many artists a chance to work with others they hadn’t worked with before. This was one of the more interesting combinations of artists performing the Thompson Twins remake of the Beatles classic. 8.Teddy Pendergrass/Ashford and Simpson: “Reach Out”: One of the most emotional moments of the show was Teddy Pendergrass’ performing for the first time after what was near fatal car accident. Very few dry eyes for this song. This is included as an “extra” on the DVD set since the footage was extracted from MTV at the last minute. 9.Mick Jagger: “Just Another Night”: The Philadelphia Crowd was exhausted, but Jagger manages to fire everyone up with this solo hit. 10.Bob Dylan/Keith Richards/Ron Wood “Blowing in the Wind”: While I don’t care for this song – especially for a penultimate song for the U.S. show, I thought it was one of the great moments when Bob Dylan’s guitar string breaks and Ron Wood gives him his guitar to keep the performance near seamless. There are so many other moments and performances in this show to enjoy as well – too many to list. There are a lot of great extras. There are moving BBC Documentaries on the Famine and about the Band Aid Project. Both documentaries were very interesting. There is a section that shows several of the International Feeds. This includes the Pendergrass performance, INXS from Australia, and the feeds from Austria, Germany, Japan, Russia, and Norway. The Austria…

 Let Them Know It’s Christmas!, By
This review is from: Live Aid (4 Disc Set) (DVD)
A couple of reviewers here have trashed this DVD set because Led Zeppelin and Rick Springfield aren’t on it. The reason Led Zeppelin weren’t included on this set was because they didn’t want to be included. From a BBC news report dated August 4: A statement from the members said: “Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones are in absolute full support of the fundraising project for the people of Sudan. However, Jimmy, Robert and John Paul found that both the sound and general reproduction of their performance at Live Aid Philadelphia was substandard.” As for Rick Springfield, one of his songs is included among the extras. Virtually every act had some songs cut on the DVD, with the exception I think of Queen, who thankfully have their entire set included (if memory serves, there were six songs in their set). I would have liked every song presented that day from every band, live or via video, to be on this set but I guess an extra disc or two might have made it more expensive, thus inaccessible to less affluent people. But one can look at the tracklistings and extras at liveaiddvd.net and they’ll see that there is still a wealth of good stuff in this compilation! Really, most of the bands and songs are on the DVD! And come on people, the proceeds from this set are going to a good cause. Spread a little Christmas cheer this year for yourselves and for others and get into the spirit of this unforgettable, amazing event! |

MIRACLE worker – lifesaver product !! Thank you !!,
This review is from: Simple Solution Puppy Aid Training Spray, 8 Ounces (Misc.)
After a little over a week of trying to puppy litter train my puppy she just wasn’t getting it. My puppy is an American Eskimo – they are very intelligent but also can be VERY stubborn. The first couple of days we tried just putting her in the potty but she didn’t want to use it. I had read to try putting a box around the litter so they aren’t able to run off and play when it’s potty time. So we tried that the second half of the week – Well my puppy ended up just playing IN the potty and even laying down to nap and our theory is that she ended up seeing it just like a second crate and so she did not want to potty in it (she loves her crate and was crate trained from the.first.night.) So THEN we bought a puppy pad (didn’t work – she tore it up) and this spray. We also removed the litterbox from the surrounding box and tried just putting it out on the floor again.. She went in the litter box, sniffed, circled twice, and started going in her potty..! For the first time..! (She had gone a couple of times “finishing” after we caught her but that was very rare usually she would just hold it and run off and go somewhere else 2 minutes later). Since then she has only had 1 urine accident – I think she was just overly excited – and about 60% of the time she is going number 2 in her potty as well (this spray only teaches them to go #1). In a short while she should be 100% trained on number 2 as well. My dog went from 0-80 like *that* and I truly was amazed with this product. From reading the reviews [..] I have noticed those that had trouble with the product were those using the pads. The pads already have a scent so it probably confuses them even more. Also I spray alot and I spray more a few times a day just to make sure.. I reccomend trying with the litter if the pads or pads + spray are not working. They still like to chew on the litter but the pads they love to DESTROY and rip to shreds instead of going potty on them – lol. Also another tip if your dog doesn’t take to it the first time don’t give up – maybe they don’t even have to go at the moment or they could just be a slow learner.
