"It's twelve noon in London, 7 am in Philadelphia and
around the world it's time for Live Aid. Sixteen hours of live music in aid of
famine relief in Africa".
Richard Skinner's opening announcement thirty years ago
today launched the start of an unforgettable day for the "global
jukebox" that was Live Aid. In this edited version of a Radio 1
documentary those involved in performing at the concert and those working
behind the scenes on the mammoth broadcast operation recall that day, Saturday
13 July 1984.
Live Aid-One Year On:
One Day That Shook the World is introduced by Simon Bates and features the
voices of Bob Geldof, Stuart Grundy, Dave Atkey, John Keeble, Elvis Costello,
Sting, Howard Jones, Michael Appleton, Chris Lycett and Elton John. It was
produced by Roger Lewis and aired on Saturday 13 July 1986.
Tagged on the end of the recording are some of the Live Aid jingles produced by JAM Creative Productions.
