The sheer testicular fortitude to play such a hard song on guitar, play it almost flawlessly, sing on top, alone, in front of thousands of people with a sound that gives no room for error. Total respect !!!
What a performance! He's alone with only a guitar in his hands and delivers one of the most stellar performances live in front of more than 70,000 people!
What a voice he had in his prime. Could hit such incredibly high notes. Always liked his work with the Police better, although he has certainly had a brilliant solo career.
Watched this when I was eighteen. Played it in gigs, have to fake it, I have small hands, but I used to nail it with my F sharp voice, and simple chords ,,now, I'm a register lower, and forty odd ears later....But it wad gold, in its moment.
Can someone please explain why there are so many missing performances from Live Aid (like this one) that aren’t on the dvd set? Ironic how the greatest concert to ever take place isn’t even available on a blu ray format…
When organiser Bob Geldof was persuading artists to take part in the concert, he promised them that it would be a one-off event, never to be seen again. That was the reason why the concert was never recorded in its complete original form, and only secondary television broadcasts were recorded. Following Geldof's request, ABC erased its own broadcast tapes. MTV decided to keep recordings of its broadcast but many songs in these tapes were cut short by MTV's ad breaks and presenters Many performances from the US were not shown on the BBC.
The REAL truth is that there was NEVER really going to be a DVD set.The only reason one was produced is that Bob discovered that there were many "pirate" versions of the concert being sold on the Web. I think they only produced a 4 disc Set (with so many missing performances) because they were unsure a bigger one would sell well. In the liner notes of the DVD , they claimed "much of the footage was missing". In Truth , only 2.5 mins of Sade's First track and some of the Who's Performance was missing from the Wembley gig. Hence, it is now being released bit by bit , by the Trust. Many enthusiasts like myself , hope one day , that they will release a FULL Blu ray , being as these days, the technology exists to upscale the original footage to 1080p , with VERY little quality loss. We can only hope.... But I doubt it will ever happen officially..
I have my personal BBC off air recording from the day (6xE180 TDK Tapes) , can you let me know which performances here not shown by the BBC? , as its 16 hours , and apart from the ones I mentioned above , I really did think I had everything...
in the case of led zeppelin, they asked not to appear in the dvd release and in the blu-ray and it's for the best. they were terrible that day. santana/pat methany, i have no idea why they asked to not be on the dvd.
Que impresionante x favor 😍 todo este trabajo de cada unos de éstas personas que estaban ahi ..y va para todos sss loss amooooo recuerdos inolvidable .

Was there any pop star that didn’t perform for live aid ? Didn’t know sting even performed for this. Can we get a live aid reunion ? The bands at the festivals the past 20 years don’t quite match this line up …..
I was amazed that Foreigner was not asked to play at Live Aid since they had massive hit Albums in the 80s and were on high rotation on MTV. Also Amazing that Lou Gramm was not in the We are the World video when he was one of the top voices of the 80s!
POLICE WERE BROKEN UP STING THAT SUMMER HAD RELEASED HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM AND SINGLE “IF U LOVE SOMEONE SET THEM FREE”. YEA RECALL SEEING THE VIDEO FOR FIRST TIME WHEN I WENT ON VACATION THAT SUMMER TO NEW YORK CITY. THE SONG WAS PLAYING EVERYWHERE AND THE VIDEO WAS IN HEAVY ROTATION ON MTV. - SUMMER 1985 YEA NO MORE POLICE BY THIS TIME.
I'll stand by my guns till the day I die: No matter how good it sounds, he makes a mistake every time he plays _those songs_ without Copeland and Summers.
No autotune, clear high notes, just pure talent... 🤘
Just imagine the size of his ball to stand alone in front of a whole stadium and drop such an impressive thing
Exactly. But he was in his prime and he new it. Great musician.
Yeah, he only has one but it's enormous.
@@AlanDavidDoane How you know this???
@@lucaslopez5535 How you NOT know?!?
Sting never suffered from lack of confidence! Rightly so but ❤
The sheer testicular fortitude to play such a hard song on guitar, play it almost flawlessly, sing on top, alone, in front of thousands of people with a sound that gives no room for error. Total respect !!!
Billions
What a performance! He's alone with only a guitar in his hands and delivers one of the most stellar performances live in front of more than 70,000 people!
This is the power of his music! without lasers, lights, fireworks etc. The best is in 2023 his power is almost as strong
hey, thats his job! And he has success, because, he is good in his job!
Love Sting and love the police! ❤
Over 70,000 people listening in total silence and total peace...beautiful thing
100 mila..❤
What an absolutely epic voice.
Ridiculously incredible
40 Jahre her und nichts verloren von seiner überwältigenden Präsenz, for ever young Sting, 70000 Menschen jubeln und lieben ihn, congratulations ❤❤❤
Sting is amazing. I saw the Police years ago and they were great. This was a fantastic concert with a great cause.
I've seen Sting live probably more than any other artist (three times with The Police) and he always slays!
Stings voice is so beautiful 😍
Just TOO talented! Sting is amazing, man. Not many artists could've pulled off something like that
one of the best saxaphone players in the world just chillin' on the side of the stage
What a voice he had in his prime. Could hit such incredibly high notes. Always liked his work with the Police better, although he has certainly had a brilliant solo career.
My gosh, his voice is so clear and beautiful.
Only been watching for a few seconds but his voice is so great haha
So relaxed, like he is playing to a few people in a bar! Very good!
Man, sting was Really young at that day. How amazing it is.
Sting is a magician of music
Perfect definition ❤
I love Sting and the Police, Message in a Bottle is such a great song
Yes 🙌🏻 beyond a message and voice
Wow! This is impressive!
Acid-Sting at it again!
I'm a big fan of The Police and Sting. Beautiful performance!💙🤍❤️😍🔝❗️🇬🇧
"...win the crowd and you will win your freedom..."
I saw Sting in concert at Greek Theatre Los Angeles. Awesome!
Watched this when I was eighteen. Played it in gigs, have to fake it, I have small hands, but I used to nail it with my F sharp voice, and simple chords ,,now, I'm a register lower, and forty odd ears later....But it wad gold, in its moment.
Clear, beautiful voice. Wonderful and sad song.
Como puede un solo tipo lograr una interpretación así. Increíble.
Thank you for another one of "The Missing" performances...
I watched this concert on TV then, still remember this piece...
Don't miss Sting's performance with Dire Straits from this concert also, on "Money for Nothing."
So many luckers been there in this amazing concert!
Great Performance
🍃Thank you for that,adore that singer!!
I love Sting❤️❤️❤️
I rose from the ground metaphorically listening to this...
So good. And the bass player playing the guitar.

Sting could have assembled the police for such a great concert

Nice

What the??? where the hell is Andy and Stewart?
The Crowds look so much bigger then🔥
Why did all this people just being mute?!

Did he borrow Edge's strat, looks identical to the one Edge was playing that day, down to the strap.
I recall feeling somewhat pissed off andy and stewart never walked on stage with Sting .
❤️
A few years later...
He should have been there with The Police!!!!
Sting after a couple songs is doing a good job of putting everyone to sleep. He almost had me.
🤩
Классно
More Beach Boys please!🥺👉👈
Soo happy to be the first comment, on this absolutely amazing concert. Sting really had some pipes, what happened? 🤔

☝️♥️♥️♥️👍💪✊
They don’t pack em tight into stadiums like they used to.
Message in a bottle
Was Sting getting that verse guitar riff right? It doesn't sound like the same notes that Andy Summers played.
I was looking for this comment. He hits a E instead of C#. Not played super clean. Strange but his voice makes up for all of it
@@Tzaltochnie1 The funny thing is, Sting was the one who actually wrote this song on guitar!
I'll stand by my guns till the day I die:
No matter how good it sounds, he makes a mistake every time he plays _those songs_ without Copeland and Summers.
Too bad Sting couldn't get a band to support him.
Of course this is a great performance, but i feel like this song definitely benefits from the drums and the riff, which ar e both just not there
I wish the police could have been at live aid
Do you think someone in that tiny crowd got it?
The beginning of realizing sting was over the band
Not without drums please !!!
C'est moi où on entend quasiment pas la guitare?
He plays some of the wrong notes on the verses
Very nice but.. without mr. Coperland, song is not the same :)
Where the Hell is Andy and Stu? What's going on here?
Police had broken up. The 3 guys were at each other's throats and they broke up in 1985
They just finished the massive Synchronicity world tour
Where are the rest of The Police, this is ace though...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Depression in a bottle...
anyone noticed Sting playing an E for the first chord instead of an C#? bad bad choice ...
He was never so cool.
I see a lot of comments about his balls.
