For those old enough to have watched both concerts, which was the best?

I was twenty when l watched Live Aid, just about to start the last year of my degree at Art School, and just about to spend the Summer in Germany working for a fashion magazine. lt's a bit strange though because in the intervenining twenty years l've only reached the age of 34???

Best acts of the show-
1985- Queen
2005- Robbie Williams/ Madonna.

While Madonna is still able to re-invent herself and make her relevant to contemporary music, l'll never be old. For an old bird she rocks. Keep it up Madge.

Biggest dissapointment-
1985- Prince Charles wearing a tie and looking daggers at a bopping Diana.
2005- Pink Floyd. lt may have been 24 years since they last played together, but as always it just sounded to me like a lot of musical masterbation, and a strange act to close with.

Watching yesterday did make me realise how quickly time passes, but also how little people through music can make a difference.
