00:00 Live Aid was a big deal in 1985, but not everyone knew about it, including a 12-year-old Jerry in London.

04:49 The origins of Live Aid can be traced back to a series of documentaries about the drought and famine in Ethiopia that aired on either the BBC or the CBC, which brought attention to the issue and inspired Bob Geldof to organize the event.

10:02 Bob Geldof was inspired by a documentary about the Ethiopian famine and organized a fundraiser called Band Aid, which released a song that raised over 10 million dollars for famine relief.

14:43 Bob Geldof organized a massive concert called Live Aid that took place in London and Philadelphia, was transmitted to 160 countries, and had an audience of 25% of the world's population, making it a huge deal and a significant moment in history.

20:47 The Live Aid concert began with the band Status Quo in London and Joan Baez in the US singing Amazing Grace, and then proceeded with 70 acts, each performing for about 20 minutes, with some bands getting in more songs than others.

25:26 Queen performed a medley at Live Aid, allowing them to play more songs than other bands, and their performance is widely regarded as one of the greatest in rock history.

30:06 Led Zeppelin's performance at Live Aid was widely regarded as terrible and disappointing, with Phil Collins later admitting that he considered walking off stage to avoid being blamed for ruining their set.

34:48 Despite some technical difficulties with the monitors, the artists at Live Aid experienced a surge in donations, particularly after Queen's memorable performance.

40:06 Despite technical difficulties and diva behavior from some artists, Live Aid still had a significant number of musicians who turned down the opportunity to perform, including Billy Joel, Van Halen, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Yoko Ono, Cindy Lauper, Talking Heads, Stevie Wonder, AC/DC, Springsteen, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Michael Jackson, and Huey Lewis, many of whom later expressed regret for not participating.

44:44 The funds raised from Live Aid, which amounted to nearly $300 million, were sent to Ethiopia to help famine victims, but there is still debate and uncertainty over whether the money was actually used for its intended purpose or if it was intercepted and used to fund the civil war in the country.

49:39 Live Aid had a huge impact on future benefit concerts and inspired a generation of young people and rock celebrities to use their wealth and influence for beneficial causes.
