It seems crazy that 31 years have passed since Live Aid raised millions to aid the Ethiopian Famine effort.

The brain child of music heavyweights Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, it was described as the Woodstock of the eighties and the world's biggest rock festival.

Geldof's ambition knew no bounds as he planned not one but two concerts to be staged in Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy Stadium.

A jam-packed occasion - Wembley Stadium hosted crowds of 72,000,while John F. Kennedy stadium had a staggering 100,000. Not forgetting the more than 1.9 million people watching on TV from more than 130 countries around the world.

With an impressive line-up of musical talent including U2, Phil Collins, Wham, David Bowie, Dire Straits and Queen, the concert raised £40m.

A who's who of the music world, other acts included Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Sting and Elvis Costello.

The mind boggles at the thought of all this musical talented sharing the same stage.
