Dopo ben 19 anni, Live Aid, il più grande show mai realizzato in contemporanea a Londra e Philadelphia, è pubblicato su DVD. I proventi di questo concerto del lontano 1985, stimati intorno a più di 140 milioni di dollari, sono stati donati per sostenere i numerosi problemi legati alla fame nel continente africano. Questo evento è stato definito dai media come: -The global jukebox-, -The day rock and roll changed the world- e -The greatest live show ever-. Un grande evento, ancora più grande, se paragonato ad altri come il lancio di MTV, il primo disco di Elvis o Woodstock. Anche oggi, dopo 20 anni, gli artisti che vi hanno partecipato rimangono tra i più importanti sulla scena artistica mondiale. Eccoli citati: U2, Sting, David Bowie, Elton John, George Michael, The who, Madonna, Queen, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath, Spandaou Ballett, Dire Straits, Paul Weller, Sade, Paul Young, Adam Ant, The Boomtown Rats, The Cars, Bryan Ferry, Bryan Adams, Tom petty & The Heartbreakers, Crosby Still & Nash, The Beach Boys, Judas priest, The Style Council, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, Nile Rodgers, Hall & Oates, Status Quo, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Howard Jones, Teddy Pendergrass, Alison Moyet, e Kenny Logins. Si tratta di 10 ore di performance in DVD, rimasterizzato in surround sound multi-canale e opzioni stereo audio. Inoltre contiene il documentario “Food, Trucks & Rock ‘n’ Roll” con sottotitoli in 8 lingue ed altri spettacoli realizzati in altre parti del mondo, che si sono ispirati a Live Aid.
