There was something totally unique and I am not sure I've ever felt it since.
"Live Aid" was a dual-venue concert held on 13 July 1985. The event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing 1983–85 famine in Ethiopia/Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium (1923)/Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as Australia and Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.
More Live Aid on Wikipedia.They weren't just people paying to see a show. They were part of it. There was such a euphoric feeling in that arena.
For God's sake, take this seriously. Don't behave normally. Don't look for compromises. Be great.
