Amazing footage. I've seen more formal reports on this day when first broadcast but this has a fascinating raw quality. The very end of the 80's, Kylie on the cusp of a game changing new phase of her career, the Stock Aitken Waterman phenomenon towards the end of its imperial phase
Back in a time without mobile phones, no Internet, people spoke face to face, everyone looked happy, people could afford to heat their homes. It was a fantastic time to be alive and I have food memories ✨️
This song means a lot to those of us who were the right age to be big pop fans at the time. I was a massive Brosette who also loved the music of SAW and Jimmy Somerville etc. It was an Avengers Assemble moment for readers of Smash Hits magazine.
I did not know Cathy Dennis was in it until today. It's a pity that she did not sing lead because she has wonderful vocals. Maybe she was not huge enough then to be featured alongside Kylie and Jason.
I have the c.d. single and on the back there are all the names of the artists who sang on it. I also hoped Cathy Dennis had a lead vocal part. I love her voice. And I have her c.d.'s.
This is such a beautiful film showing the talent and care of these artists at this point in time with the added input and genius of Mike Stock,Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman and extra musical help of Chris Rea, Luke Goss and mixed by Phil Harding with the blessing of Bob Geldof.
Can I ask a question as to why Sir Bob Geldof was there? It’s recently been reported that this was an unofficial version yet there he is. It’s just that it’s not full of his mates and the old musical snobbery comes back. It’s the best version!
A lot of people hated Stock Aitken Waterman productions, but their songs are great and very good produced. Bob Geldof gave permission to this record. He was behind it. A lot of artists did not wanted to know that.
This was exactly a year after their performance of especially for you:))))) I love these Kylie and Jason Christmas vids of 1988 at this time of the year…:))))) it must have been hard for them (or rather Jason) to be together though, the wounds were still fresh for Jason💔💔💔 you can see it when he’s with Kylie
Anybody know what camera this would likely have been recorded on? It's amazing quality, I am assuming these ITV TH-cam videos are ripped directly from the master.
You must talk to the government and the army in Africa. They are so corrupted. The money went probably to weapons, drugs and to all the rich people in Africa. The poor people did not get much.
Good point, didn’t think of that , I remember the news of the world published paparazzi shots of Kylie and Micheal canoodling, that was late 89 , I didn’t believe it until that photo evidence appeared
I never even knew a part two existed. I realized why. I lived overseas in 89 & 90. Didn't know what was going on in Oz or England. But why haven't I even seen it by chance till this day?
God bless Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. I know the woke people won't like this but who cares! These men and their fellow artists did a wonderful thing back in the day to bring awareness of starvation on the African continent. Maybe the words weren't right (according to the woke brigade) but they were right at the time. Maybe the woke brigade should take a look at the images we all saw back then. I don't think they could handle it, but Bob and his fellow artists surely did!! God bless them all for their contribution to this awful and CONTINUING famine in the continent of Africa. 🙏❤ We should thank Michael Buerk for his first reporting of this terrible awful tragedy 😠
The poor man's version. The 1984 original had REAL pop stars. The 1989 version had it saved by Matt Goss and Jimmy Somerville but certainly NOT Big Fun! ... Glad Sara and Keren appeared on the record a 2nd time and loved seeing the interview with Sara and Keren from my dear Bananarama ... Kylie sounded great in those days.
@@sarge9733Actually, it wasn’t. Only Kylie, Jason, Sonia, Big Fun and Bananarama were PWL artists. The rest, bar Cliff Richard, had nothing to do with PWL prior to or beyond this.
Thanks for posting,not seen bits b4,luke live drums,matt singin live in the st,brill,bobs now sayin this didnt count,i bought it, wat about all the money made for the starving etheiopians
First time I see Cathy Dennis was in this. How did that happen, she had one top 20 single by the time this was recorded and even that was "just" as featured artist.
Look at Kylie how she keeps looking back and one of the Goss brothers…she wanted one of them for sure! Arms folded near Jason? Body language 😂😂 look it up
funny to seee that you still know every member from the older, original Band aid constelation and here it's just a few like Cliff Richards, kylie Minogue and... perhaps ....Jason Donovan😂😂😂
One hit wonders BROS was there too. They had talent. Wonder why they disappeared? Probably could say the same for Wet Wet Wet & Bananarama. 3 hit wonders? The late Paula Yates was there as well. Why don't they list everyone that was there like We are the World? So many I dont know or have forgotten. And where were the ones from the first recording? George Michael, Duran Duran etc were still of significance.
Bros were destroyed by the press So Matt ended up going to America and He became More famous Selling out Vegas solo shows singing new songs and Swing brat pack songs . Luke is acting. A few years ago they got back together and Sold out Wembley as Bros
@@LuckyDipster2 Im from Australia. When will I be famous is the only one we generally know. I see the same comments on one hit wonder videos, such as Thomas Dolby. The video was made by someone in america. And every Brit argued he wasn't a one hit wonder. But he was a one hit wonder in the States.
@@rbuls opposite of a fat guy i know who said he'll on purpose avoid buying anything that'll help "those Arab asses". THAT'S racism(opposite of just saying some n word regardless of the context), but i don't hate him, he has his good sides too
Crap world back then. People talked to each other face too face endlessly! No mobile phones. Thank god the world is a better place in 2024. Technology has aided us. ........................ ....... ... . Can we have a Band Aid III now?
This was lame in comparison to the first, not just because the pop industry had become increasingly trite but because the first was a thrown together off the cuff idea with all the charm and imperfection that running to a tight deadline without much prep inevitably created....and there were more bands/musicians involved in the first rather than 'acts', hardly any programming either.....and Luke Goss ain't Phil Collins😂
@ Chris Rea….retired Jimmy Somerville….retired Matt Goss….brilliant singer, still performing. Jason Donovan….currently on a tour but no plans to record. Cliff Richard……retired abroad. Glen goldsmith…..who??? Big fun…….who and wtf? Wet wet wet…..without their singer Bananarama….2 still performing. Sonia……can’t remember anything recently. Lisa Stansfield……same. The pasadenas……same. Kylie….still performing. Now compare that to 1984
I think S.A.W. and their artists we're very talented. They had at least one record in the UK Top 100 Singles Chart every week between March 1986 and October 1990. The group have sold 400 million units globally, and they also received a Brit Award for Best British Producer in 1987 along with nine Ivor Novello Awards between 1988 and 1990.
It was 1989 (the original was 1984) - yes, in today's society it probably would be offensive to Africa, but back then Ethiopia was in a massive drought, thousands were dying. As I said at the time it was great

Ah yes. Even though it got to number 1, this version has largely been forgotten about.
Because it was one of million charity song and also the Stock Aitken and damn Waterman dominated there.
Thankfully
The quality of this footage is fantastic. I don't recall seeing this on the telly back in 1989. Fantastic. #justiceforbandaid2
It would have been too long to show it in the normal broadcast. Surprised they kept the footage to be honest.
@@WillScarlet1991 Yeh there was an edit I do recall.... great to see though again!
Kylie is a treasure and must be protected at all costs.
Can't beat the 1st version. That was magic.
Agree but the second version was very good too.
Absolutely. The original had feeling and soul to it. REAL Pop Stars in the 1984 version.
I remember this and they were my favourite singers at the time
This song means a lot to those of us who were the right age to be big pop fans at the time. I was a massive Brosette who also loved the music of SAW and Jimmy Somerville etc. It was an Avengers Assemble moment for readers of Smash Hits magazine.
Love every artist from the PWL factory! Still a KYLIE fan!!!❤️🇦🇷
This version is the next best version and the other later versions are just embarrassing!
I did not know Cathy Dennis was in it until today. It's a pity that she did not sing lead because she has wonderful vocals. Maybe she was not huge enough then to be featured alongside Kylie and Jason.

She wrote Can't Get You Outta My Head and it was offered to someone else before Kylie
@@emmadeal1105 yes to Sophie Ellis Bextor
This was better than the third version it suited the end of the eighties just right with all the then pop stars taking part
This is such a beautiful film showing the talent and care of these artists at this point in time with the added input and genius of Mike Stock,Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman and extra musical help of Chris Rea, Luke Goss and mixed by Phil Harding with the blessing of Bob Geldof.
SAW was not genius it was 100% calculation.
awesome!!
Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward of Bananarama is the only who was on both Band Aid 1 and 2!
Keren Woodward isn’t smoking in this video either unlike in 1984
Can I ask a question as to why Sir Bob Geldof was there? It’s recently been reported that this was an unofficial version yet there he is. It’s just that it’s not full of his mates and the old musical snobbery comes back. It’s the best version!

This was the best version I remember it well
This version misses all the A list UK stars from 84 George Michael Phil Collins stars that lasted through time apart of Wet Wett and Cliff there
@@theancientsancients1769 I like the B list stars from the UK, like Sonia and Kylie.
@@cantforgetyou Well it's a generational thing. I haven't seen the actual music video of the B stars from 89 .
5:55 young Jason Donovan was gorgeous
He looks so much like his dad❤
Wow! Original 501 Levi's
This is the only version that I like.
Same.
This was exactly a year after their performance of especially for you:))))) I love these Kylie and Jason Christmas vids of 1988 at this time of the year…:))))) it must have been hard for them (or rather Jason) to be together though, the wounds were still fresh for Jason💔💔💔 you can see it when he’s with Kylie
thanks for you documentary, world looked so different then, normal 🙂
Anybody know what camera this would likely have been recorded on? It's amazing quality, I am assuming these ITV TH-cam videos are ripped directly from the master.
I've never even heard of this version, I dont think it even gets a mention in the promo video for Band-Aid 40
For some reason, it's been neglected. I think it's the best out of the lot.
@UrbanPicturesUK Perhaps its because Bob Geldof was hands off on the Band Aid 2 and let Pete Waterman lead it?
@@UrbanPicturesUK I agree. Whatever you think of the pop stars, it's the best production of all of them
It was number 1
@@michaelleacy the horrible SAW production
What happened to all the money they raised ? Those Africans are still starving and still have no clean drinking water. How do they get away with it ?
You must talk to the government and the army in Africa. They are so corrupted. The money went probably to weapons, drugs and to all the rich people in Africa. The poor people did not get much.
like all charity events, a middle man stole it all.
CEO maybe money laundering scam. Just a cover up
I think this version of the song was vocally and technically the best, energetic and well sung song.
The most boring.
@@marguskiis7711 Different tastes. For me it is anything but boring, it is the most energetic, exactly the opposite.
Yeah alright lol
Kylie with her bogan accent before going all british lady 😂
Kylie beguiling everyone as usual ❤❤
Best version by far, and listen to Matt Goss 👌 amazing voice
9:34 Cathy Dennis
Hoped to be British Madonna
Thanks, I was wondering who it was. Pretty lady.
It's just like the original Band Aid except that no one there is iconic. ^.^
Cliff richard ?
Sonia is a national treasure
I always wondered why Rick Astley wasn't in this
He was shooting a video and his voice was too strong for this record, I guess, ha, ha, ha.
he wasnt invited.
He’d quit PWL by this point, maybe frustrated with PWL or they didn’t invite him
Yes. I read that it has everything to do with Jason Donovan being there. Astley was upset he didnt get Too many broken hearts.
Rick Astley was finished by December 1989
Matt Goss at 13:02, wow what a voice
Can someone post the names in order of the singers? I only recognize like 3 of them. Thanks so much!
Amazing footage - was Kylie still dating Jason then or had she just started dating Michael? They looked a bit tense when together.
Good point, didn’t think of that , I remember the news of the world published paparazzi shots of Kylie and Micheal canoodling, that was late 89 , I didn’t believe it until that photo evidence appeared
They never dated, it was just to push their careers.
Jason is very gay and married a beard
@@pennybunny😂 wrong way round, they denied they were dating at the time to push they’re careers
Jason genuinely loved her from what I’ve seen, but he was nothing much for Kylie unlike Hutchence.
Yes, she was shagging Michael by then.
D-Mob and The Pasadenas - legends
Seeing Phillip Schofield is the most shocking part 🤐
#justiceforbandaid2
Sunday 3rd December 1989
I had no idea about this version of the song!
Nice footage. Is it Cathy Dennis at 9:35 next to Kevin Godley?
I love the 1984 and 1989 version
Luke Goss is really fun to watch on the drums
Cliff Richard looks old in 1989 and he's still alive 😂
Cliff Richard is 84 Years Old and Still Alive.
Well he was 49 there, not 21.
Look back to 1989 he was 35 Years Old.
@@shanerosseran old 35

How many times have you used the word woke? Get a grip. Bob Geldof himself calls it a terrible song
I remember watching this , it was boiling hot outside.
10.50 we’ve all been there Jason. Trying to get a clap going and no one joins in:( the cringe I feel for you , bro:)
I just never knew that Luke Goss actually played drums. Now he's an action star.

Band-Aid 1: U2. George Michael:
Duran Duran: Sting
Band-Aid 2: Big Fun: Jason
Donovan and Sonia
Lol 😁
I prefer BA2
Shocking.
It was basically the 1989 Argos catalogue of shite PWL managed 'artists'.
Band-Aid 1: Those who you wrote + Status Quo, Midge Ure (Ultravox), Boy George, Phil Collins, Paul Young...
@@sarge9733Actually, it wasn’t. Only Kylie, Jason, Sonia, Big Fun and Bananarama were PWL artists. The rest, bar Cliff Richard, had nothing to do with PWL prior to or beyond this.

Look at Kylie how she keeps looking back and one of the Goss brothers…she wanted one of them for sure! Arms folded near Jason? Body language 😂😂 look it up
She’d just dumped Jason for Michael Hutchence at the time
@ I was thinking that too, but still..you can see she’s attracted to the twins
Who wouldn’t want a Goss brother in 1989? 😍
@ I did! 😂 they’re so cute..I’m gonna look them up to see how they are now, and what they’re doing 😻

Can we have a Band Aid III now?
The difference in talent between this version and the original is night and day. This is woful, big fun and Sonia for example
It’s heartbreaking the Reynolds Girls weren’t invited though
@ Criminal decision and Brother Beyond should have been a shoe in also
2 lovely original members of Banannarama looked always better than their singing.
Sad AF 😂😂
Pop music had really declined in 5 years
I noticed that too. Seems like from 1988-1989 it really started going down a lot.
Prefer band Aid 84
This was lame in comparison to the first, not just because the pop industry had become increasingly trite but because the first was a thrown together off the cuff idea with all the charm and imperfection that running to a tight deadline without much prep inevitably created....and there were more bands/musicians involved in the first rather than 'acts', hardly any programming either.....and Luke Goss ain't Phil Collins😂
Looking back at this makes you cringe…..look how music had declined in ten years!
How many of these are around today?
At least 5 ....

The song is very patronizing and racist, it has to he said. It explains the mindset of those Geldofs and those 80s singers with questionable moral.
alright ed sheeran
Any chance you could write that again in English?
Band Aid saved countless African lives you muppet.
