Tuesday marks the 25th anniversary of Live Aid, the worldwide charity concert that propelled U2 to a new level of international recognition. That was a surprise to the band, who all felt like they'd blown it by not having time to play "Pride," their biggest hit at the time. But U2's two songs -- "Bad" in particular -- left an indelible impression on many who watched. Joan Baez, who performed in Philadelphia and watched U2 on TV, later wrote: "Out of the hours of Live Aid that I saw by the end of the day, the high point was witnessing the magic of U2. They moved me as nothing else moved me."
Bono recorded a podcast about his memories of Live Aid which was 25 years ago this month .It can be dowloaded in www.absoluteradio.co.uk. Listen here:
