Live Aid - 30th Anniversary - I remember Like it were Yesterday.........


July 13, 1985 

I woke up at 5:00 am to watch the live feed from Australia and I didn't leave the television until the show was over....sometime around 11:00 pm
There were so many bands I wanted to watch, but it was Duran Duran that I waited all night for.
YES, I remember the bum note.
who doesn't?
but it's not the only thing I remember from their performance.
I would much rather remember how much fun Simon seemed to be having and that my favorite band was there to try and raise money for a cause that they believed in. 


Knowing the band's history like I do, and knowing how they have all said since that playing Live Aid had made them realize that they were a million miles away from each other, I'm glad that I couldn't tell any of that while watching on that summer's night in 1985

Bum note or not, it was still a great night to be a Duranie.
AND a Simon Girl
