These guys were 20 years old !! With 2 records out. Changed the world of music forever. Im 51 i remember this like it was yesterday
At this point I think they had released 2 albums, onto making their third being Raising Hell.
@@lekaoforty.726 i know, they were like 17 when the first 1983 record came out. As was ll cool j with radio. 17 when it was released in 85
Perfoming a hip hop song at a rock and roll show of this size in 1985 is insane. This might have been the first time most of those people heard hiphop
Nobody in the rap industry can touch Run dmc and that is fact. RIP Jam Master Jay.
@@prestinhurshberry8417 overrated
fatboys was good
@@billybobbob3003 they were good but not run dmc status
@@kevinford6372 they were honestly better live perforners
THIS IS HISTORIC. So many firsts here, Run DMC open the doors in mainstream for hip hop.
Look at that crowd. Hip-Hop went viral, back then. I'm 44. I will never forget RUN DMC. One of my favorite Hip-Hop groups
what the hell are you watching? a lot of the people in the crowd look confused lmao
Exactly! We all loved it by this time.
Maybe also because Hiphop was a very young genre and still coming up back than. Hip-hop and Rap went viral in the early 90s
So funny to watch ...The white people look so perplexed on how to participate back then!! Lol
Chuck D said Run-DMC were the Beatles of hip-hop. Here is one validation of his statement. In 1965 when it was unheard of, the Beatles performed the first large stadium concert in front of 56,000 in New York's Shea Stadium. Rock became a stadium genre. In 1985, when it was unheard of, 2 billion people watched a rap group named Run-DMC on television. Hip-hop became global.
A lot of the people in this audience look like they don't know what to do. Lol. I love Run DMC and if I was at this event with my friends, we would have went nuts when they hit the stage.
1985 was a different time my brother. Peace from Toronto :)
Yes it was. I miss it. Peace from Irwin Pennsylvania USA.
The rise of hip hop and rap
Rap and Hip Hop are very common nowadays (since the mid 90.s bassically), but back in the 80,s it was more like an alternative style of music.
More people was there for rock. That wasn't the moment for rap, but was matter of time
FUN FACT : Run-DMC was the *ONLY* american hip-hop group to perform on stage at Live-Aid (1985).
dude do you have the link to this source? I'm trynna write an essay bout MTV
@@Nirvananerz I actually read this fact
from an article i read about 3 years ago, and i really dont remember what website published it. But hopefully you can find the link to the original article.
@@paulgtrejos DUDE!!! Look what I found.... its from a newspaper article from 1985
"Contractual obligations with Worldwide Sports and Entertainment Inc., which provided all radio and television feeds of the concert, stipulated a certain number of pledge inserts per hour and an inflexible concluding time. But MTV could have negotiated an agreement that permitted more coverage, live or taped, of certain acts.
Finally, MTV could have been more careful about the implicit messages it
sent with its coverage.
None of the solo black acts at Live Aid had their performances presented live, in their entirety, on MTV. The Four Tops, B.B. King (from Holland), Billy Ocean, Sade, Run-D.M.C., Ashford & Simpson with Teddy Pendergrass and Patti LaBelle - all were delayed, joined in progress or abandoned in mid- performance.
In fact, the only black performers whose music was relayed start to finish by MTV were "sponsored" by white acts: Bo Diddley and Albert Collins were there with George Thorogood, Branford Marsalis accompanied Sting, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks harmonized with Hall & Oates, and Tina Turner strutted with Mick Jagger (although she, alone among them all, could have wangled a solo spot easily).
Plenty of white acts also were delayed or excerpted, but not all white acts. And while MTV dismisses the inference of racism by saying that each decision to cut was based on different criteria, it's not comforting that, regardless of circumstances, there wasn't one exception where blacks were concerned."
Holy shit, i think the article you found must have been published around the time live-aid happened or maybe even after. You could possibly use that article as a source.
Another FUN FACT: Run DMC were the first artist inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame that could not play a musical instrument.
Legendary “Run DMC are the first to Rock Adidas” and the First to rock the crowd on YO RAPS MTV ,And rock the Mic 🎤 live on the 1980’s are one of favorite Rap group”
To say I was born in 85 I can see why people made a big deal about this group. And their albums are dope as 👌🏿👌🏿
DAMN, you wasnt able to start going out PARTYING and going to CLUBS until the 2000's !!!! ??? :(
@entertainingsportshighligh7525 that's correct man I was born in the wrong era big time.
@@1985SJWatleast you experienced the 90's-00's , born in 06 is worse than that
I used to listen to King of Rock and Raising Hell on repeat over and over when I was a kid!!!
Run DMC made some of the first music my father introduced me to growing up in Queens.
Looking back, these guys set the blueprint in so many ways. Really happy my father showed me them when I was young.
Tougher than Leather (the album) is incredible. And the song is amazing
Fun Fact: this is the first international, live, televised performance of Hip-Hop/RAP music ever. And the exact moment that music was changed forever. Because this is exactly when RAP/Hip-Hop music began its ascendency to the most popular form of music on Earth.
Legends. What honor it must’ve been to play Live Aid.
2:17 Rick Rubin sporting the RUNDMC shirt in the background.
There at 1:24 as well.
Great producer!
He has produced the best Aerosmith records in history.
Russell Simmons right next to him.
Yep....at these time.....about to be slayer producer
The hardest hip-hop performance on stage ever. S/0 RunDMC king of Rock
I get that this is good, but no way you actually think that this is any harder than a concert by Travis Scott or Carti or someone else bruh
@@jomariong7882 comin from a weeb lol
Omg give me a break. Boring @@jomariong7882
In their day, wasn’t anyone badder. ( not bad meaning bad, but, bad meaning good) 😉
the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
@Sideshow Bob NWA weren't a known or out until around 1989 smh
there it is
Don’t forget the world class wrecking crew around these times 84-85
Raising hell like a class when the lunch bell rings.
After all these years I'm still LMAO @ 4:08 mark and the unofficial background singer jamming "They're 3 of us but we're not the Beatles!!!"
Amazing to see Run-DMC at such a festival. The lineup was something else!
This is the real rap and hip/hop I grew up listening too! Run DMC is still one of the greatest rap groups ever! Most rappers today can't even really rap! Great performance from rap hip/hip legends!
yo Rick rubin chillin on the left side of the stage with the Run DMC shirt
I was 12 yrs old then when I heard them I was blown away I love all kinds of music but 70s and 80s is the best
Think about it...they had no ear pieces to stay on time. They only had the speakers on stage. Hard asf to stay on track with the beat but they did...it's RUN DMC! RIP JMJ!
RUN DMC if still going, nobody could match them. Unfortunately because of the passing of Jay they decided not to perform. In their heart, nothing would be the same. Legacy, real ones are the same. Enjoy what they gave us.
3 badass mofos in front of a Philadelphia rock and roll crowd. This is a portrait of human triumph.
Rick Rubin in the back acknowledging the future has arrived 💪🏽
I’m here in 2022 after listening to the Summer of 85 by Kevin Hart. Great job and story by RUN DMC!
We stepped on stage, at Live Aid! All the people played and the poor got paid
Run DMC and the Beastie Boys my 2 all time favourite!
Did anyone notice the white guy with the beard in the back looking like my old math teacher? Dope boy is groovin and knows the lyrics. HipHop made history that day!
Moments like this are why Hip Hop is around 50 years later. RIP JMJ and respect to Run-D.M.C.
DMC podcast brought me here ,,I saw the m 3times @ The Saginaw Civic Center,,still have the ticket stubs,,they were the Soundtrack of my Youth💯✊🏽
Run dmc hands down masterpieces
That delivery they have is untouchable
LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE!!!
They Truly Knocked Down Doors!!!
They took Hip Hop PLACES THAT NOBODY HAD BEFORE!!!!!!!
Live aid 85 is probably the perfect concert
I stepped on stage
At live Aid
All the people gave
And the poor got paid
My adidas
I remember watching this on TV and that same year watching Krush Groove and I've been a fan of Run DMC ever since
"When we stepped on stage at Live Aid, all the people came and the poor got paid!"
Run dmc really was groundbreaking in the 80’s being the only hip hop act at live aid. They were the first group that took it to the mainstream, and were arguably the Beatles of that genre for a while.
❤❤❤❤THEY R AN WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR LOVE ONES AN RIP JAM MASTER J LOVE TO HIS LOVE ONES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is amazingly 👏 😍 🙌 👌
Only rap group at Live Aid!!! Straight fire.
The first International hip hop exhibition
Cause they don't make no songs like these...PERIOD ! Then Jay flips off the headphones, too cool ! You young kids that's what you call SWAG !
Classic 🔥
Run dmc rocks 😎😎
ONE LOVE TO THE KINGS OF ROCK!!!
RUN DMC IS TRUE HIP HOP LEGENDS❤❤ RIP JAM MASTER JAY
I was their it was amazing day
I could Watch these Brothers Every Day. RIP to my Cuz JMJ
Darryl and Joe are an act that can’t be Duplicated ❤
Loved how Philly LovedThe dmc...respect
I remember watching this live, as soon as Run-DMC started, they switched to Wembley Stadium, they didn't want to see rap music on live tv.
Wow 😕
@@robertamodio4497 back in 1985 it was classified as rap music...now its hip hop
@@robertamodio4497 I agree...if you didn't like it, you called it rap music
@@mrevh2195 My bad. I guess you could call it rap because the whole genre is called hip-hop.
(Well actually the culture is called hip-hop.)
Rev run is the hall of fame
Glad they they sang at live aid ⭐️♥️⭐️♥️⭐️♥️⭐️♥️⭐️
Rap stars of 2019....LEARN
“RUNDMC”FIRST LEGENDS IN THE RAP 👏💯S.I.P.Jay master Jay is missed ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
Look at RunDMC laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of Hip Hop. I wonder how many people in the crowd know how important these guys would be to music. And the dude at 4:08 laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of middle-aged white guys trying to find the beat.
Not only hip hop, without them you wouldn't have Nu Metal either.
Run dmc the king of hip hop!! No one comes even close!!! Todays hiphop is crap
100 000 in 1985... rap band... AMAZING!
Best band introduction Ive EVER seen
It’s a shame Run Dmc are not around anymore to show the kids how it’s done , one of the reasons I haven’t listened to rap for 20 years.
Run-DMC were great but within a few the lyrical complexity of rap music went way beyond the basic Run-DMC/Beastie Boys level. Big Daddy Kane and Rakim which only came very shortly after rival most rappers of today in terms of lyrical complex.
But they are still around, and still performing ...... I mean, JAM MASTER JAY is gone, but DMC and RUN are still doing shows
Groundbreaking!!
LEGENDS!!!!!
i was at this show. remember this
My comment is not enough for this performance.
THIS GROUP MADE HIP HOP MAINSTRAIN
They stepped on stage, at Live Aid
All the people gave, and the poor got paid.
Fine! The angle of the shooting, the perspective of the stadium, the horizon of the clouds, the mass of people and the color cast off some kind of deep and kind feelings by that time, fascinates. 33 years have passed, and it is being kept up to date. Tough guys, and take a good breath. Adidas Sneakers !! Did they have Freddie М? or he :)))
Run DMC had the crowd going Crazzy. Only rap group there
I’m getting chills watching this I grew up in the hood but I was a rock fan I was in the projects one day and heard on a big beat box radio “it’s like that” I was floored
Had it on a Profile tape brought to me from NYC in 1986.Previous year compilation,Mr.Magic's Rap Attack
Waiting for the Run Dmc movie.... damn it gonna be good (someone make this shit).
Its called krush groove
@@njsimmons82 not really
RUN DMC... 💯🎤🎧🎤🎶🎸
Cant believe not one comment for JMJ?
R.I.P. JMJ 😎👍

Just found out this existed
Thank you RUclips
I could hear the technical team - "Do we need audio send to tape?" - "Nah... nobody's going to want to hear this crap 3 years from now, just a grab it from the house feed for archive sake."
Best rap group ever.
I stepped on stage at live aid all the people gave and the poor got paid my adidas
Those speakers sound amazing

Hollis Queens yo , no new school sucker mc’s could ever could come close. Great music and a positive vibe. Contrast that with today and The Diddler.
I wint stop rockin til i RETIRE!
I don't mean too comment but...and there's always a but....how good is that!!
This is dope!
Even though jam Master Jay was messing up on the turntables, God made it sound legit . In the beginning the music was so loud that the needle was jumping, but nobody realized it or seemed to care.
really showed how much of a professional jay was. skipping record won't stop him from showing out!
Rocking.
These guys really were the baddest of the bad!
R.I.P. JAM MASTER JAY
