Wanna see Live Aid released on DVD?

[follower]

So maybe you could subscribe a petition run by Sir Bob Geldof himself, it?s in his official website...here:

I do. Live Aid was such a remarkable event that cannot be forgotten. I was introduced to U2 through their performance at Live Aid and, somehow, that changed my life. Lets allow younger people to see and feel that magic all over again.

WOW! YES! That would be cool! I've always thought the reason it was never released is because there would be too much hassle over who would get the money. So many artists, the company that puts it out and of course charity, which was its reason for being!

 

[adamswildhoney]

YAY! GREAT IDEA!

 

[browneyedgirl]

That is a great idea....I'd love to see Live Aid on DVD !!!

 

[Discoteque]

WOO HOOOOOO!!!!

i've been SCREAMING about this for 15 years - WHY OH WHY was there no video chronicle made of this momentous musical event?? It was the first of its kind - the huge charity concert - with all those great 80s ("where are they now?") groups. Of course, U2 stole the show.

WOW. One can only hope!!! Yay yay yay!

 

[JOFO]

I would buy it just to be reminded that phil collins played drums for led zeppelin's reunion.

glutton for punishment I am.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

in addition for U2, i'd buy it because it was the last time the fab five played live together, and were even in the same room for over 15 years.

Just do clarify things, I just got the info that in fact the site above is run unoficially by a Geldof fan in Canada, so the petition wouldn?t be Bob Geldof?s responsability...anyways I believe it wouldn?t do any harm.

[Bono's shades]

I hope it happens, especially since I missed most of Live Aid back in 1985 (stupid summer job!), including U2's performance.

[bayernfc]

That'll be great!

...... Hope U2 learn from this and release the Zoo TV Sidney on DVD!

 

[u2philly]

Yes I want to see Live Aid in DVD form or in any form!

 

[Eliv8]

I too have been wanting to get this since the show was first broadcast but 110 pounds (US$187) is a bit steep. However, if 11 people were to purchase one DVD each, then the cost would be $17 per disk. If each of these people were to make 10 copies and mail them to the other 10, then each person would have a full set for a lot less than 190 bucks.

Now if 10 people were to e mail me ?

 

[tiny dancer]

I would to see this happen!!!

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

That would be a fabulous idea. I've wanted to see the whole thing of this concert for a long time now.

well i'll be damned, the owner of this site got shut down and arrested.

Eliv8 and i were considering splitting the cost but we don't have to now (i'm glad we didn't) because Geldof finally decides to release Live Aid on DVD http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3543059.stm

 

[Monkey79]

Way cool. One of the defining moments of our generation...

*once again laughs at the fact that people think an online petition will convince a rock band to release something.

what's this about a slane dvd, now?

 

[Foxxern]

I just hope there isn't a huge delay while the DVD distributor gets rights from all the artists that took part. Hopefully we'll see this by the end of the year, or worst case at least in time for the 20th anniversary in Jul 2005.

Old thread, fresh news.
I?m glad Geldof finally will release the concert on DVD. My VHS is definitely worn out, so many times I have seen and rewinded and seen U2?s performance again. That was a defining moment not only in their career but in my life as well.

Cheers
