Live Aid

Bob Geldof:
And these person's aren't playing for the benefit of their health. Their playing for the benefit of other persons health. So get your money out now.

Bob Geldof:
No. Just drop the address. Lets read the numbers. Cause that's how were going to get it.

Billy Connolly:
What. On top of it.

Bob Geldof:
all right then. Get on with it.

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know I was on yet.

Francis Rossi:
How are ya. Alright.

Bob Geldof:
If there's a problem , you have to go out and solve it "

Phil Collins:
Why am I playing at both Wembley and Philadelphia? Because I'm mad that's why.

Gary Kemp:
Usually, when we come off stage, there are people waiting with towels, drinks. Here I fell over and no one gave a toss.

Adam Ant:
There are many of my heroes here. People I've worshipped from afar.

Midge Ure:
If two tossers from Ireland and Scotland can get off their arses and do something , maybe other tossers will do the same.

Ozzy Osbourne:
I came here to play music, and I didn't really realize the full extent and magnitude of what it is all about. Now I'm here, it's the greatest event ever.

Tina Turner:
It was the most electrifying felling being there - no other reason than the cause. I wish I could do even more.

Mike Jagger:
I came to play in Philadelphia because of the cause, because of Live Aid, of course. But I also came to have myself a good time. And I've sure as hell done that.

Chrissie Hynde:
We wanted people to stop, to look, to listen and most importantly to help.

Sting:
This is what rock and roll is all about. It's an event as much as its music.

Bryan Adams:
I'm just proud to be here. I'm a Canadian and tears are not enough. Lets all do what we can for Live Aid.

Pete Townshend:
We always said we'd never play together again. We always meant it. But it would have been kind of difficult not to get together again for this day.

Bob Geldof:
I've just realized that today is the best day of my life. Now I'm going home to sleep.

Eric Clapton:
I chose my songs for the show very carefully. I wanted music that would trace my development. I wanted to show my past and then my future, and also what I'm famous for.

Phil Collins:
I was in England this afternoon... funny old world innit?

Jimmy Page:
All these bands going on and no one's overrunning. That's a statement in itself.

Daryl Hall:
What impresses me about today is that people who have a certain amount of sensitivity and artistic tendencies can be heard, and their music can make a difference.

Patti Labelle:
I have been blessed in my life and I don't take my good fortune for granted. That's what Live Aid is all about.

Gary Kemp:
It went very quickly. The greatest moment of my life, and it just flashed by.

Joan Baez:
We will move a little from the comfort of our lives to understand their hurt.
