Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0801213022892 Format: Best of, Color, DVD-Video, Live, Widescreen, NTSC Label: Eagle Rock Ent Languages: Manufacturer: Eagle Rock Ent MPN: 30228 Number Of Items: 2 Publisher: Eagle Rock Ent Release Date: October 30, 2007 Running Time: 138 minutes Studio: Eagle Rock Ent Theatrical Release Date: October 30, 2007 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Billed as "the day music changed history," the Live Aid concerts of July 13, 1985, were held to raise money to fight the horrifying famines sweeping Africa. The brainchild of Bob Geldof and representing the efforts of countless musicians and technicians, Live Aid was a genuine and inspiring effort to help the victims of an overwhelming calamity. Twenty years after the twin concerts (one in London, one in Philadelphia) were broadcast worldwide, the 4-DVD treatment furthers the cause, with proceeds going toward the Band Aid Trust. The DVD set opens with a heartbreaking documentary on the crisis, followed by videos of the two hit songs that represented the collaborative nature of Geldof's efforts—Band Aid' s "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and USA for Africa's "We Are the World." Since Live Aid was never intended to be released in a recorded format, preservation of TV footage has been unreliable, resulting in some glaring omissions. Led Zeppelin's semi-reunion doesn't appear, and neither does a legendary session with Bob Dylan, Ron Wood, and Keith Richards. Some sets by performers who were popular at the time may inspire either nostalgic glee or head-scratching (Kiki Dee fans, you know who you are). Sprinkled amid these performances are a couple real gems, including a performance by Run DMC, the event's sole representative of the ascendant rap movement. Much of the music here was a passing fad, but the sentiment that brought it all together is timeless. -- Ryan Boudinot Description: The special edition version includes a second disc featuring the full Queen Live Aid performance, never before seen full performance footage of Queen rehearsing for Live Aid: Bohemian Rhapsody + Radio Gaga + Hammer To Fall and previously unreleased Live Aid interview with the whole band.

 Rating:  - Queen will rock you on Blu Ray Disc!!! A great concert plus more!!!Wow this is a great concert (origially titled:"We Will Rock You") on Blu Ray Disc!!! Includes the classic Montreal preformance + the classic Live Aid stuff as well as some cool extras including a commentary by Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor!!! This title is also available on standard DVD but Blu Ray is the way to go if you have a Blu Ray player!!!

Rating: - A must have for your viewing library!Queen with Freddie Mercury were meant to be seen live, as is evidenced by this amazing show. I regret to say that I was really more of a casual fan who enjoyed "News of the World" and the radio mainstays of "The Game". After viewing this show, one really gets the magic that was brought to audiences lucky enough to see them. I've promptly received their entire remastered CD collection! The quality of this Blu-Ray is such that it seems like it was filmed yesterday. The Live Aid footage is a great ... Read More Rating: - No denying the quality, but if only...Those of us who didn't have MTV in 1985 really did get the Royal Shaft (...plus those of us working that afternoon received an additional shaft of a lesser degree). Years were spent trying to cobble together something this comprehensive from friends' collections. While there is no denying the heartfelt intent and the wonderful quality of this package, there is a part of me absolutely furious at the exclusion of some songs. The Plant/Page/Jones performance was a subject of much media discussion, ... Read More Rating: - Underated! Worth every penny and then some! Too bad about the missing bits!This video set brings back a flood of memories of the 1980s upbeat times. Its a piece of nostalgia you would'nt want to miss. This was one exciting time. It brings back some poignant memories (for example, Princess Di appearance at the inaugral and Freddy Mercury's incredibly powerful performance). The early 1980s was an incredibly creativite and upbeat time. Live Aid 1985 was at the pinnacle of those times. Its too bad that the producers of this DVD set omitted 6 hours of concert time. Their ostensible ... Read More |
