Quality Issue: Customers should note the picture quality of this DVD does have faults, and this cannot be fixed or replaced. The quality of the material is variable: either because it was recorded via satellite; has been converted from NTSC to PAL; or because it has been damaged over the years. The studio who released this DVD have applied modern technology to repair any damage as far as they can, and the footage has all been colour-graded. The horizontal 'banding' that appears on some of the UK performances is called microphany and occurs when the camera lens is affected by great volume.

A great and important DVD
A rare find as this item is no longer in production but this is a fantastic show that was surely made for DVD despite the fact the Bob Geldolf did not want it recorded which seems a little short sighted to me as this could have gone on to produce more donations for a very worthy cause.Fortunately many recordings did exist and this disc was produced, sadly it has been been indexed so you can't skip a track if you wanted to (not that you necessarily would) ultimately this is a press play and.relive the 80's as there are all the big names you can remember and then the lesser known or forgotten artists who still have a place in music.The sound is mostly in 5:1 and the camera work is pretty good too, there are some missing performances which are explained in the accompanying booklet but we should be grateful that this collection exists at all.

Wanted for a long time.
Such an iconic and monumental event that I needed to see again, for pure 80s nostalgia. There'll never be another concert like it. What Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure put together, is extraordinary and completely unforgettable. This one's a keeper !!

Brings back so many memories of that day.
Disc 1 and 2 are all Wembley. It's tight and works well. Disc 3 tends towards Philly. That is marred by a hole in the disc. But then it is a bloody awful show anyway. Disc 4 Has the worldwide gigs, from the likes of INXS. A brilliant replacement for the 6 VHS tapes I made on the day.♥️

Live Aid 1985 DVD Concert.
Amazing coverage of the July 1985 Live Aid charity concert, which raised millions to save the lives of the people who were dying of starvation in Africa. The four dvd set includes coverage of Phil Collins leaving Heathrow on Concorde on his way to his second performance of the day in the USA. So many famous faces of the music world from the 1970's and 1980's. Includes the Wembley Stadium performances in London, and the J.F.K. Stadium performances in Philadelphia. Thoroughly enjoyable and a great dvd to put on when friends visit. An amazing historical record!
