I haven’t seen this performance since I was about 40 feet from the stage, just over 35 years ago. My friends and I were just 16 and 17 years old. We were all exhausted after an incredibly hot day full of highlights. I didn’t leave our spot once. Something that’s unthinkable now. Best concert of my life.
That is far more cool than you think, know, and realize. I wish documentation on film could be done of people who were there giving their recounts of it. What an alternative reality we live in now. I am the most positive person in the world and I have such great fears for what's on the horizon. God save us.
@@2loafabread there was no Weird Al that I was aware of. Dozens of big guest stars including all the MTV VJs and big names like Jack Nicholson and Chevy Chase, but no Al
Patti LaBelle just fucking pulled everyone back into stride. The whole song was collapsing and yet here we have Patti pulling everyone up. Greatest carry ever
@@erichinton5774 it was in a big stadium. Could barely see anyone on the stage. Watched huge screens on the side of the stage but it was cool being there.
Live aid was probably the best music event in the world. You have USA for Africa for We are the world and then there’s also Band Aid on do they know it’s Christmas time. Absolute brilliant 🙏
This is a spontaneous concert by the great musicians for giving aid to Africa. I watched this all day long till night time. It was fun no racism no wokeness. We are all in one. Enjoying the greatness of humanity
Legendary performance. I maybe old now looking back but I'm glad I was there in the summer of 1985 as a high school kid watching these iconic stars in their prime and some sadly no longer with us. Nothing will beat the atmosphere and build-up of this concert and the Live Aid concert in London earlier that July day on the most serious of situations in Africa and tackling it head-on with no nonsense that i can imagine today's stars would gripe about who goes on first and last etc.
Just see how resonant Ms. Dionne's voice was. Even if the mic was turned off, people still recognized that iconic voice and what I always love about her is when she always stays in the line as the song requires yet still killing it.
I come back to this video every month just to hear Miss Patti Labelle put everyone else to shame, one of the greatest female vocalists to grace the industry with her talent.
@@TheFabien66000 Lyrics: There come a time when we hear a certain call which shall set apart our very souls. There are people dying, and it`s time to receive the greatest gift of all - SALVATION. We can`t go on, pretending day by day, practising the lack of knowledge abut all. There`s THE GOD`S creation and there is satan kids too, and the truth is, Hell is what we deserve! We are THE CHURCH, we don`t belong here, our home is not this fallen place, so why we partaking? There`s a choice we`re making, we`re saving or losing lives, it`s true, we make a choice each day, you and me. GOD send to you HIS hand, so you`ll know that someone cares, giving you straight and freedom too. As CHRIST has shown us, how to live a life on earth, how to care, how to love, how to live. We are THE CHURCH, we don`t belong here, our home is not this fallen place, so why we partaking? There`s a choice we`re making, we`re saving or losing lives, it`s true, we make a choice each day, you and me. When you`re down and out there seems no hope at all, but if you just believe, there`s a way to live again. Well, well, well, well, let us realize, that a change shall only come, when we humble our own souls. We are THE CHURCH, we don`t belong here, our home is not this fallen place, so why we partaking?

Actually it wasn’t a happy place ….. that’s why they performed this song …. In actual fact starvation was everywhere on the planet in the third world which was vast…. Africa …. Central and South America … the warlords in places like Uganda were murdering people like grass being cut on the lawn! Terrible terrible things were going on and that’s why they performed … to do something about it all! It worked!
Actually th world was not a better place as it is now, you just didn’t hear about lynching, raping and murdering as you didn’t have the internet or social media.
I don't remember this. I was five. But I've become so fascinated with this concert. All of the most popular singers of the time donated their time to help the world end hunger. There were a few egos, but it was a lovely experience.
Patti what a amazing voice a Queen, all here are very talend, i wish i was born earlier and pay anything to attend it only happens once in a lifetime where such talented artists come together all my respect to all
We watched the live telecast of this historic jamboree of best singers on TV then. In March 2022, this still remains the finest, noblest and grandest programme ever. The massive gathering of fans will always feel themselves the luckiest spectators. 👌👌👍👍🙏🙏
I can't imagine the sheer greatness of those times, let alone the greatness of this concert! This is unbelievably spectacular. Huge thanks to these guys!
to me...she kinda over did it... i still love her tho.... maybe she was just tryinna compensate for the lack of BIG names on the American stage lineup.
People just don't realize how hard it is to sing with many that can't sing very well. I think the Greats did good and I like the facial expression on Dionne Warwick who seems to enjoy hearing Patti's voice soring like it did when most were hating.
Believe me she didn't like it lol. Look up the interview Patti did about Dionne in the late 90s about how Dionne treated her regarding her singing on Sisters in the Name of Love
Did the lady @ 6:57 though patti needed help hitting her finale note. She must have thought "Patti voice must be quite tired after hitting all those high notes......lol
@@anferneecephas7161 It's sanging not screaming, That's just the way her voice is and she can't change it. Just go to the other performance without her!
I still watch the DVD on a regular... all great singers but they truly fell apart.... if it wasn't for Miss Patti laBelle, this would have sunk totally!!! Patti saved this performance!!! Love ya miss Patsy!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know
Live Aid '85 takes me back to Maywood & Melrose Park, Illinois, where I lived, where my dad worked, in the mid '80s. I always play this song on TH-cam when I visit these adjacent Chicago suburbs.
Really is a beautiful song! Coming together as one! Uniting, fighting hunger, disease, medical treatment, shelter, clean running water, etc. It's also sad how some could have soo much and some could have so little or none at all.
OMG Patti killed it! She's got the most powerfull female voice ever heard. If it had not been for patti, it was like as soon as she started singing they sounded together Patti LaBelle and the We Are the World Choir
True I can’t believe what I am seeing now the new version from Jamie fix now that gives this 200% more justification Michael would not be happy with this let’s just be straight up from a Australian
Patty kinda ruined the song. Not the right time to show off her range. If she had her own act, she can do it, but doing it over 40 other people on stage is disrespectful. I dont care who u r but she had no respect. Especially cuz she had to be told to get away from the mic.
Didn't know it was Claptopn but I immediately realized based on the soul of those riffs , that it was a genius guitarplayer.. know 1 other guy who can pull that off nowadays, and that is John Mayer
I've just read the story behind this song.. How it all started with a single Vision, a dream, and how everyone was giving it all to the song... Amazing!!
@4.10 Ms. Patti takes this song to a high level, so up lifting and energetic. I think its one of the few things that had been missing in this performance. She did the same thing or even better than her friend Cindy Luper did in the original performance. The problem people have with Ms. Patti is she out voices all the others, but that isn't her fault. She is gifted that way. I live her Vocals tho better expressed in solo performances
Are you kidding? Patty ruined the whole thing! Her big mouth drowned everyone else out. That was extremely selfish of her and disrespectful to the other singers
Patty Labelle went to cover the place of Cyndi Lauper, she was invited by Bob Geldof, but when she was ready for, Cyndi was hospitalized by an appendicitis emergency at that time.
Considering this was the ending of 4 hours of concert, they all are tired and just wanna have fun.. this was a great closing for that moment and circumstances!
Kenny Loggins mentioned that the sound people back stage were trying to cut of Patti LaBelle’s mic, but they were not sure exactly what mic she was using. The guy at 3:33 whispering in Patti’s ear lol telling her calm down probably hahaha Patti Labelle stole the show. She outsang them all.
Kenny Loggins: I was in on the closing song, but shit, I don’t even remember what it was. Maybe a Beatles tune? All I remember was - what’s her name? This Black woman with the voice of God. It was her turn to sing, and she was screaming on the microphone. It was so loud. So overwhelmingly loud. There were at least 12 mics onstage, and the sound guy had to be trying to figure out what mic she was on to turn it down. It was hilarious.
Mesmerizing moment. Looking back from 35 years afterwards, just can't believe people could have a such an upbeat mentality at that point. We are the void, soulless generation.
*Acho que a Miss Patti LaBelle deve ter pensado assim: Ah, é. Já que não me colocaram na primeira versão da música, na versão estúdio, irei mostrar agora para TODOS eles o que eles perderam!*
where was HE....??? i know it wasn't cuz he was asking for money...maybe this was right AFTER that whole Pepsi commercial fire accident thing... speaking of MJ's absence...where da fuck was PRINCE...??? i thought like Madonna, with the absence of Cyndi Lauper, Prince would take a segment, in place of Michael....
the madafaka Prince retired from live performances at the time, and watched the event from home. And also something along the lines of assassination scares too.
@@victorrhams3429 a WHAT...??? assassination scares...??? that a real thing..?? never heard THAT one before... what, cuzza John Lennon...?? anyway...my point is... the american artists, who were actually more dominant back then (especially the SOLO acts) MISSED the opportunity to shine here, alongside their British contemporaries....
Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Cher and Keith Richards are among the huge stars on that stage and they allowed Melissa Manchester and Sheena Easton to hog the mic (twice each)?
who both sucked, quite frankly. And then had the nerve to try to sing with Patti , whose talent was just far above and beyond every last singer there.I think maybe the great Tina Turner declined to get on the mic.
What's with all the negativity??? Live Aid was not a rehearsed concert.. this performance was impromptu at the end of the 18 hour concert... I guess whomever was around and on stage grabbed a mic and contributed. I'm guessing a lot of those making negative posts either forgot how the concert was arranged or were not even born.

Patti and Dionne CARRIED this performance 😭😭
True!!!
It's true patti make better song
there were so many artists on that stage, but for some of them there were truly 2 i's in "Live Aid"
They’re the only ones who weren’t drunk and delivered decent vocals lol 😂
was thinking this is their duet lol😂
2:55 Patti is a vocal beast!!!
So many amazing singer up there God bless them all!!!
Yes, but the original part was performed by Cyndi Lauper 💕
No, Fredde better
The best moment ❤❤❤❤❤
Única afinada. Salvou o rolê.
@@mariasciuto1857In my opinion she should have done the original because it needed that momentum ❤
Was anybody else singing all I hear is Ms Labelle. She's awesome
She's really flexing. I love her .
The voice of Dionne Warwick stood out so much, even with the microphone turned off, the audience immediately reacted. It is that recognizable.
Look like Dionne was looking out the corner of her eyes @ Patti labelle
@@antoniom2625 Patti gave that song a meaning it never had before. And not a singer in the house could touch her.
Nobody can outsing Patty Labelle, she’s got a set of pipes like no other, just love her!
That’s called “reaching”
I haven’t seen this performance since I was about 40 feet from the stage, just over 35 years ago. My friends and I were just 16 and 17 years old. We were all exhausted after an incredibly hot day full of highlights. I didn’t leave our spot once. Something that’s unthinkable now. Best concert of my life.

Her voice is far and above every last singer in the house, amazing.
Trash!
lol
She outsang everyone else and the crownd
My dad is the guy in the white and red striped shirt at the 5:05-5:07 minute mark, made his way to the stage after tailgating all day
To this day he has to be shocked he made it up to the stage.
Definitely looks drunk there hahaha
He looked dazed af lmao
Hero!!
That is hillllarious! LOL
He looked like he was part of the concert!
I remember watching this on TV. I love this song. Iconic song that will last forever.
Nothing compares to Patti's voice 🙌🏾
3:18 Kenny Loggins smiling in admiration at Patti Labelle is so adorable

Takes you back to a world free from people glued to there screens

True I can’t believe what I am seeing now the new version from Jamie fix now that gives this 200% more justification Michael would not be happy with this let’s just be straight up from a Australian
Ahhahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha
Patti got the whole singing energy. Goosebumps all over my body
Lol!!!!! Now that’s the most improvised shit I’ve ever seen on stage lol!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂true
They did put on a hell of a performance for a 9 yr old. Thanks guys. 🙏
I Love you Patti LaBelle❤❤
Love from Bali, Indonesia🇮🇩💐
That moment in 1:27 is the reason why live aid marked in human history
2:05
I don't even recognize the two women y'all are pointing out. Is one Sheena Easton?
Im fkin dead bro 😂😂
What was that lmao
That shit sounded like DMX making noises 😂😂😂
Patti made the whole thing happens 😅💛 Fabulous, Ms Patti! She is pure power.
considering all the USA for Africa artists NOT showing up, thank GOD for Patti.
She saved that song for real
Patti always SHAKES THE ROOM❤💪🏾
Thank you for Miss Patty saving the whole song
Ricordo come se fosse ieri ❤😭
Totally
❤️
sabrina brown Using the gift that god gave you is to much? They called her for a reason. Her talent and the way she sing, sooooo. . .
Patty kinda ruined the song. Not the right time to show off her range. If she had her own act, she can do it, but doing it over 40 other people on stage is disrespectful. I dont care who u r but she had no respect. Especially cuz she had to be told to get away from the mic.
We can't see him clearly, but it is definite there was Eric Clapton. His guitar is outstanding.
You can't see him, but you can definitely hear him. Nobody plays guitar like that. Nobody..........
Exactly! Eric is so goooood here!
Wow didn't know that, now I could hear the guitar now
👏🏻
Didn't know it was Claptopn but I immediately realized based on the soul of those riffs , that it was a genius guitarplayer.. know 1 other guy who can pull that off nowadays, and that is John Mayer
Diese Gruppe mit Chor Kinder wow❤ wunderbares Lied,, USA for Afrika,,habe Grad Gänsehaut bekommen ❤❤❤höre ich sehr gerne 💋💋
Patti destroyed everybody! End of story!
She seriously wrecked the song.
@@francessjean5861 agreed
@@francessjean5861 seriously your life is wrecked dumb ass.
@@Reboundfifty go to the original song than!
@@marimuffin chill out😂 everyone’s opinion matters
Patti simplesmente reinou nessa apresentação, deveriam ter colocado ela na versão original. ❤
comecei gosta dela depois que ouvi ela nela apresentação.
Oh wow, Patti belting it out and sounding amazing!
I've just read the story behind this song.. How it all started with a single Vision, a dream, and how everyone was giving it all to the song... Amazing!!
Omg !! Patti labelle..
Yall know Tina Turner is Patti's biggest fan.
I can't help anyone if they don't get chills watching this and brought to tears as to the beauty and absolute all of it all!
"Do They Know It's Christmas" in the U.K. stage sounded much better. And this from a fan of "We Are the World."
Patti LaBelle just comes in and slays at 2:54.
Until the END!
The perfect grand finale to the greatest musical event in history.
@4.10 Ms. Patti takes this song to a high level, so up lifting and energetic. I think its one of the few things that had been missing in this performance. She did the same thing or even better than her friend Cindy Luper did in the original performance. The problem people have with Ms. Patti is she out voices all the others, but that isn't her fault. She is gifted that way. I live her Vocals tho better expressed in solo performances
for me she was terrible singing Cyndis part..
Really?? May be yo biased on her. She always gives energy whenever it is lacking, same she did in "I wana what love is" with Diana Ross back in 1985
@@l.davidesc Cydni sure as hell couldn’t sing it anywhere close to Patti did . I can bet that !
Yes good save especially as she got to the mic a tad late like half of them when sharing a mic. Bit of a logistical nightmare on stage by the looks.
@@l.davidesc your right
Thank God Patti was there to clean up the mess 'cause honey it sounds like karaoke night at 2am.
yass, Patti whooped everyone's butt vocally
Are you kidding? Patty ruined the whole thing! Her big mouth drowned everyone else out. That was extremely selfish of her and disrespectful to the other singers
@@PlumbPitiful she only “drowned everyone else out” because unfortunately they couldn’t keep up 🤷🏽♂️
Patty Labelle went to cover the place of Cyndi Lauper, she was invited by Bob Geldof, but when she was ready for, Cyndi was hospitalized by an appendicitis emergency at that time.
Patti was clean the scene 🧹
Minha diva musa da música pop internacional Patti Labelle arrasou nesse dia eu amo cantar essa música e não é de agora 💗
Patti la belle just came like a Storm
2:53 JESUS, WHAT WAS THAT???
INSANE, A BEAUTIFUL VOICE WITH EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE
Considering this was the ending of 4 hours of concert, they all are tired and just wanna have fun.. this was a great closing for that moment and circumstances!
16 hours of concert. This ended 16 hours of Live Aid. So well done all.
I don't think Patti got that memo.
@@nutinman4u Agree! Patti is the epitome of energy!
Kenny Loggins mentioned that the sound people back stage were trying to cut of Patti LaBelle’s mic, but they were not sure exactly what mic she was using.
The guy at 3:33 whispering in Patti’s ear lol telling her calm down probably hahaha
Patti Labelle stole the show. She outsang them all.
SOUL FAN she was probably shit faced. It would hv been nice if they did cut her mic
G Men2121 I smell a hater
She’s known for still being heard without a mic look up “Patti Labelle no mic” 😂
G Men2121 lol, like she would give a damn. She can still outsing everyone else WITHOUT mic
Kenny Loggins: I was in on the closing song, but shit, I don’t even remember what it was. Maybe a Beatles tune? All I remember was - what’s her name? This Black woman with the voice of God. It was her turn to sing, and she was screaming on the microphone. It was so loud. So overwhelmingly loud. There were at least 12 mics onstage, and the sound guy had to be trying to figure out what mic she was on to turn it down. It was hilarious.
Cher...!!!! man, there WERE a lotta American musicians showing up...but NOT doing their own sets...such a shame...
Mesmerizing moment. Looking back from 35 years afterwards, just can't believe people could have a such an upbeat mentality at that point. We are the void, soulless generation.
THIS IS YOUR SONG BRO YOU ARE THE LAST SIGER WHIT ONE BIG BIG BIG HEART.
R.I.P.
MICHAEL JACKSON.....I MISS YOU BRO...😢
I am touched with your words
@@stonegold5348
You a minor?
Yes he is so missed... He really deserves all that love from millions of people all over the world 👑🌍♾
*_02:51_**_ The best, melhor parte!_*
*Não feliz, ela volta no **04:12** e arrebenta mais uma vez!*
Ela arrebenta!!!
Patti Labelle 💜
Sensacional ❤❤❤
*Acho que a Miss Patti LaBelle deve ter pensado assim: Ah, é. Já que não me colocaram na primeira versão da música, na versão estúdio, irei mostrar agora para TODOS eles o que eles perderam!*
As we know, if a stage is filled with professional singers and they sing a song together, then only ego is on that stage. Everyone wants to stand out.
Some messed up the lyrics. No Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Steve Perry, Michael Ray, Hall and Oates, Kenny Rogers.
Hall was there shmuvk!
I think Daryl Hall WAS there. You probably missed him.
No Huey Lewis & The News either... :(
@@EntertainmentFan11 yea around 5:43 handing the mic back to ritchie i think
Fr
microphone paranormal activity 4:13
Hahahaa
the guy in yellow: wtf?😂😂😂😂
Over dosis
Yesssss
Ekwkwkwkwkw gos 👻
This amazing and talented performance took place 39 years ago today🫶🏻❤️🎶
Without Michael is not the same thing
He was very busy with making Capitan EO, that's why Michael wouldn't perform at LIVE AID
where was HE....??? i know it wasn't cuz he was asking for money...maybe this was right AFTER that whole Pepsi commercial fire accident thing...
speaking of MJ's absence...where da fuck was PRINCE...??? i thought like Madonna, with the absence of Cyndi Lauper, Prince would take a segment, in place of Michael....
the madafaka Prince retired from live performances at the time, and watched the event from home. And also something along the lines of assassination scares too.
@@victorrhams3429 a WHAT...??? assassination scares...??? that a real thing..?? never heard THAT one before... what, cuzza John Lennon...?? anyway...my point is... the american artists, who were actually more dominant back then (especially the SOLO acts) MISSED the opportunity to shine here, alongside their British contemporaries....
the madafaka MJ burnt his hair in '84 not '85
Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Cher and Keith Richards are among the huge stars on that stage and they allowed Melissa Manchester and Sheena Easton to hog the mic (twice each)?
who both sucked, quite frankly. And then had the nerve to try to sing with Patti , whose talent was just far above and beyond every last singer there.I think maybe the great Tina Turner declined to get on the mic.
sheena pathetically clinging to the mic is an accurately summary of her career
アップロードありがとうございます。
i like how freddie’s not even in this video but people are still mentioning him in the comments hahaha
If Freddie was there, i really love to watch him to sing the whole song....
It would've been comical to see him outsing Patti Labelle.. he probably was watching the "performance" at home!
Lol...freddie can't be at the same time at different place lmao. Hes in wembledon with the british This is in Philadelphia
RainFrog Tv *Wembley. Wimbledon is a stadium, but it's mostly used for races.
@@kakerukakeru8614 Phil Collins was in both. Different time zones. Freddie could have been too.
What's with all the negativity??? Live Aid was not a rehearsed concert.. this performance was impromptu at the end of the 18 hour concert... I guess whomever was around and on stage grabbed a mic and contributed. I'm guessing a lot of those making negative posts either forgot how the concert was arranged or were not even born.
Great live performance! Live Aid was amazing
They didnt arranged the parts to those singers before the concert...thats why a little bit mess for having all of them to showing their vocals...
Yep, and you could tell that some of them were sort of fighting for the microphone when their parts came up.
Free for all, however good singers stand no matter what😊
Essa é a música mais ouvida e conhecida de todas as gerações até hoje! Eu não era nem nascido mas gostaria muito de ter vivenciado esse momento!
Debativel, mas gosto muito dela (Da versão USA for Africa)
Hahaha, Patti ROCKS! Watched this during pandemic May,25,2021
Still my eyes finding the legend..
Freddie Freddie where are you...!!
Freddie is dead. And that breaks my heart too.
