The concert, simulcast from Philadelphia and London, featured notable performances by artists like Queen, The Who, and a Led Zeppelin reunion. Participants like Rick Springfield and John Oates shared their memories of the diverse lineup, expressing surprise at the innovative nature of performances, particularly Run-DMC. The event marked a significant moment in music history, showcasing global talent for a cause that garnered international awareness.
Rick Springfield highlights the considerable time elapsed since Live Aid by remarking, 'Live Aid, '85 to now, is the same distance as the Second World War from Live Aid.'
