This was the 80’s New Wave
I’m 52 now nothing compares to the 80’s❤
I'm 54, The best years/moments of my life. The highs and the lows packed in the 80's.
I'm 38 and I agree... maybe only the 90s a little bit :)
Let's be real here. There was a lot of shite music in the 80s too.
@@StrawberrySunday212in fact … no
NADA. It was beautiful
People overlook alot of artists at live aid because of Queen and yes I'm a Queen fan. But this is an incredible performance in its own right.
I see it differently. Music is for everyone. Everyone can pick what they personally like. Starting a discussion about who deserves more attention is silly. Queen has catapulted this concert into the history. Of course the other performances were damn good too. In fact, this one is my favorite. But this performance wouldn't have the attention that has today without the Queen performance either. Thank you Queen, thank you Ultravox.
@@dannyvine3605 Ah ok. Instead of Queen, Hollywood took U2 as a model for a film in which exactly this appearance was staged almost exactly as the highlight there.
But like I said, arguing about "who was better and more important" is stupid. Most were over the top here. I also thought U2 was great.
@@dannyvine3605
ok, but why do you get the impression today that that would be the case?
@@dannyvine3605 ok, i agree, btw i was 5 year old:P. but scince 1990 im in love with 70er-80er music.
@@dannyvine3605 Queen made Sun City absent of course in the movie Bio
Here in 2023, this still sounds amazing after all these years. Some songs are timeless - this is one of them
This was one of the best moments of the entire day. Midge's voice so crystal, and powerful. Amazing.
《ONE OF THE TOP MOST "PHENOMENAL" SONG'S EVER! LOVED IT WHEN FIRST HEARD BACK THEN. AND NOW, AS A SONG LYRICIST ✍️ MYSELF. I APPRECIATE/ADORE/LOVE IT EVEN MORE! HIS VOICE IS STELLAR WOW!🙌🎶🖤》
I don't know if you were there but I was and almost 40 years later Queen stands out for me, don't get me wrong this is good as this song is an 80s classic but out of all the events of the day this would not hit my top 10 but that's cool as music is very subjective
Voice is just spectacular but am I the only one to think that he also looks really good !
Could've tuned the violin in!
Probably the best live performance of the day!
Midge Ure seriously under rated musician/arranger/producer/composer. Vienna , in my humble opinion, one of the best songs ever recorded. And BOY did he deliver on the Live Aid stage!!!
Underrated? What planet are you from? In this video he has 70,000 people screaming at him performing at the most famous live music show in history which he organised, he is considered one of the all time greats of pop music, co-wrote the most famous Christmas song ever which is also the second highest selling uk single of all time, released 20 live and studio albums with various bands and solo, 14 singles, has won an Ivor Novello, countless Grammies and BA SCAPs, been given an OBE and is a multi-millionaire! His ratings couldn't be any higher, he is one of the most successful British musicians of all time! Underrated? What are you talking about?!
If i was .classic.
It was a shaky start, if truth be told. That first line sounded like me on a bad day.
@@amazingusername8925 The most famous live music show in history was Woodstock.
Amazing !
Man he knocks the chorus out of the park with that vocal.
Not even a crack. The thing that impresses me most about these performances (that I didn't notice then) is the pure talent. No back tracks. No auto-tune. Pure talent. A vast majority of the "talent" today can't match these guys.
I saw him last year, he's still that good now
@@billieteggers2661 Yeah he is! F'ing amazing.
This is better than the cover..It shows up the artists we have these days something rotten.
@@fritzcolburn How did Pop/Rock devolve (mostly..there are some exceptions)into the dreck spewed out today? The 90's was the last great decade for music..imho!
This performance is hailed by many music professionals and teachers as one of the greatest vocal feats of all time. Midge Ure did this cold, he didnt warm up or soundcheck and still gave this masterful performance. He may not be Freddie Mercury but hes surely up there with him
The only thing that makes Midge less than Freddie is Midge wasn't anywhere near the showman.
how do you know he didn't warm up?
@@tc1817 it's been mentioned several times he had minimal warmup. Some say none.
@@fritzcolburn "It's been mentioned" is not really proof is it?
@@tc1817 if you don't like the answer then do some research. It's how you learn things. Highly recommended.
His vocals were fantastic, the clarity the projection, the sustain and he never went off key amazing performance
I have to admit I don't like synthesizers, but his voice is incredible, and he has great technique. Did he ever study singing, or is he untrained?
Holy hell. That sounded absolutely amazing.
Fantastic band! Midge Ure had, and still has that incredible voice!
The greatest moment of Midge's life captured and will live forever. Ohhhh Viennnaaaaaaa...... sends chills down my spine.
Yes
We should all be so lucky as this guy. Ascended to demigod status for nearly 5 minutes
when time machines are invented im going straight to this event
im sorry give me a call, will join you !
same!
There will be time-machines...where do you think come all that people from? :D
Then I will be seeing you there then!
see you then
Such a humble man, totally underrated talent and what a voice!
SERIOUSLY underrated x
one of the greatest songs ever......
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE......!!!!!!!!@@discharge29
Yeah not sure about that claim.
and got beat to Number One by Joe Dolce, Shut up a ya face
Easily one of the best
What an incredible voice ! Midge Ure at his best !
Hands down,one of the best live vocal performances ever recorded:from start to finish,It's pure perfection.Midge is awesome and this version of the song is simply mesmerizing.Goosebumps!
Pfft…
I can't believe I just found this in 2023!!! I have never heard such control and passion in a voice. He is stupendous!!!
The album is phenomenal! A friend of mine turned me on to this tune in 1986, I believe. Picture sitting on sand dunes on the beach in between Jacksonville beach, and St. Augustine, FL. It had just got dark, brand new Energizers in the huge boom box, and we were tripping on a***! I will never forget that, and NEVER stop listening to Ultravox!
@@karlcherrycEvin Key of Skinny Puppy turned me on to Ultravox and this performance is amazing.
That first chorus; he turns to the right with a slight smile, knowing he nailed that first line. What a talent.
Yep.
Exactly. So good. Showed nerves in the beginning. Then first chorus and he knew. I got this, I will drive it home. Marvelous.
The smile at 1:40… magic
When he throws his hands up after the 2nd homerun, like he was saying "I fcking did that shit. I wonder if Freddie heard that". Priceless
He sure knows how to project his voice with incredible clarity. He’s a natural born singer. He still sounds the same in 2023. Marvelous.
I saw Midge Ure perform this song two nights ago and he still sounds just as incredible. What a voice!!! ❤
One of the all-time great vocalists, even after all these years!!
Saw him on the same tour. It’s something I’ll never forget!
One of the best vocal performances of the entire show, in my opinion. Spine tinglingly amazing. He was immense and it’s my personal favourite. Pitch perfect and a monstrous vocal performance with so much power and emotion. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes is also phenomenal. Of course there’s Mercury but this is unbelievable. Mercury is pure showmanship. Midge is pure vocal perfection.
Midge is touched by god
I love you.
Mercurio es perfección vocal😊😊
Mercury ispure showmanship??!! Are you insane?? Have you listened to Freddies vocal, live show, especially in the 80's?? No?? Than I give you this: please listen to him singing "who wants to live forever" live at Wembley. Or "Save me" and "Somebody to love" in Montreal. If you still come here and say he is only a showman....well.... I live it to you to figure something out. Btw, did you know that even today, great musicians and stars admire FM? No, not for his show, but his V O I C E. Yes. And they have even tried to researsch his voice some years ago. Guess what they found out? That Mr Mercury had a 4 vocal voice, which is at the same range that Pavarotti! (Dont know if you know what vocals range mean, or even who Pavarotti is 🤷♀️) Just saying. Pease snd love you know 🤘🙌🙏👌
@@siwbergfall6623
Absolutely true. I didn’t mean his vocals were not UNBELIEVABLE. But often his showmanship would be what most would remember. Midge was less a showman so you would concentrate more on the vocal performance.
My apologies, I didn’t word it very well. Mercury is one of the greatest singers to ever walk earth. A vocal range so good he could pull off almost any song.
You know something really special is happening when the crowd goes "quiet" at an 80's Live Aid concert...
@Trouser Bottom Dog hey, to each his own. what kinda genre do you like
@@k3rc4 men he likes men :)
How many 80's Live Aid concerts do you think there were?
RIP Chris Cross (July 14, 1952 - March 25, 2024), aged 71
You will be remembered as a legend.
I was working at live aid as a steward and decided to go to the canteen for my lunch when ultravox come on. I had to put my chicken curry down when this song came on. It gave me goose bumps. My only regret of the day was not getting to see such incredible talent.
Ok. That sucks. You were there and missed seeing it... At least you heard it while it happened. Turns out music is pretty handy that way!
How was the chicken curry?
Wow. What an experience.
No Delhi belly? Lucky bloke!
Always have a smile on my face to know I lived in the best era to be young.
What an amazing voice. Some singers just cannot translate their vocals into a live environment, but Midge Ure sings like he was born to perform live. Absolutely amazing.
Brutal. What a track. What a performance. Immortal.
Midge Ure and Ultravox were incredible. How they managed to perform in that heat wave is mind-blowing! It is good to see Midge Ure is recognised for his hard work and support of LIVE AID. Some people praise Bob Geldof only but it was the two of them who deserve the recognition!
Could have removed his trench coat
Midge- you don’t always get credit for your role in Live Aid, but some of us will never forget.! We love you in 2020 from California!!
He did alot more than people knew,and stayed in background ,but what a great performance from uvox
Back when singers sounded the same live as they did recorded. 👍
Yes exactly that missing the music of daily time.
or even better than in the studio
100%
They still sound as they record ... as they record with autotune LOL
I disagree, he sounds better in live than recorded!!
Holy shitballs. That is one hell of a vocalist.
I've loved this song since I was a kid and can't believe this is the first time I've heard this version. Shame on me. Amazing performance!!!
me too i was kid at the time too and loved it and this is first time ive heard this live and im blown away
How has this only got 12K likes??? Midge is amazing! I was a kid when this was released, this song still gives me goose bumps.
I believe I read somewhere that some very prestigious music school used his vocal here to show students what absolute perfection sounds like (or something to that effect). I get chills every time I watch this.
Sends shivers. He might have delivered the best vocal performance of the shows. Perfect, from top to tail. Incredible guy.
Berkelee College of Music in Boston was the school! Midge Ure perfect voice!
Just wow x
@@MayaMaya-mu7yy that’s where Matt Sallee of Pentatonix went to college.
One of the best vocal performances of the entire show, in my opinion. Spine tinglingly amazing. He was immense and it’s my personal favourite. Pitch perfect and a monstrous vocal performance with so much power and emotion. Dancing With Tears In My Eyes is also phenomenal. Of course there’s Mercury but this is unbelievable. Mercury is pure showmanship. Midge is pure vocal perfection.
What a voice Midge Ure has! The real talent behind Live Aid and "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and yet such a humble and brilliant mate. This performance of "Vienna" shows his vocal range and what a great storyteller he is.
Having met him at a party and chatted... bloody lovely bloke. Down to earth etc...
@@garylewis6435 brilliant!!! In interviews he always comes off as lovely and cool.
I've seen Midge about 20x live. Always a great performer, and he ALWAYS hangs out after to talk to fans
Lived in the village I grew up in for a while and by all accounts, was an amazing guy.
@@garylewis6435 puff..beautiful
Without Midge Ure there would have been *no* Band Aid, admits Bob Geldof. So thank you Midge, there should be a "Sir" in front of your name too, mate.
agree
Mike McCormack great photo Mike.
Spot on I'm Irish and it sickened me Geldof got all the credit. Midge ure was paramount in it.
agree
Midge Ure deserves much more than Bob Geldof.
It's 2023 and am still listening to VIENNA by Ultravox!!
Me too. OWI Anna :-)
So important to give credit to the crew here. You can see the perfectly timed handover of the viola to allow for the piano than the perfect balance on the second lead vocal mic for the last chorus. Just amazing under pressure.
This is the most underrated performance from Live Aid, especially since he had to go on early in the morning! These vocals are incredible.
Always so great 👍
Amen, it was really hot & he was ill with a high fever - yet he knocked it out of the park. Brilliant 😊
Ultravox had the crowd clapping along long before Freddie arrived - what an outstanding voice
I’ve never seen anyone nail a song so hard. Full body goosebumps
the audience was literally shell shocked by his vocals and then realization kicked in :) ... ralph fiennes is his doppelganger to the max !
I agree
I can see Ralph
What a voice 😲😲😲😲😲
And Edward Norton!!
That moment when someone destined to play opera decided to do 80’s pop music instead.
Goddamn, when he hits that hook into the chorus it kills me emotionally every time.
No movement in the crowd because their astounded at the vocals of this man. Top draw!
This is my first time seeing this. I saw the live Aid that day but can't recall seeing every act but seeing this has blown me away. What a great performance by Midge Ure and ultravox. Why is he not a Sir for his part in this.
A logical situation, in fact .Nowadays, in most of the times it's a chaotic mood and many mobile phones.Just stupid, when you're in a concert with all the grands !
My Mum is 91 this year and has dementia, but she can still remember me buying this single for her
This was absolutely the highlight of Live Aid for me! Overlooked but nothing can compare to Midge Ure's amazing voice!
I was pregnant then and watch all day now my son is 38 and loves this kind of music 🤔I wonder why 😉
What a voice!
amazing range. extraordinary.
Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
Carrying a note has become a lost art, alas. What a splendid vocalist.
What a fucking incredible voice!
It is! He must dread reaching those notes haha Huge effort.
The name tells all. UltraVox
Sound not so great, but his voice carries it
Incredible voice!!!!!
Best voice of the whole event
l love the way he calmly wipes the sweat out of his eyes before he delivers that first amazing chorus... that i wasnt expecting to be quite as good as it was... it was amazing. what a man!!!
The violinist was fighting his fiddle in the heat but by god Midge's vocal was unbelievable! You just know it's one of those moments when the whole stadium is ringing and resonating it back to him and he knows he's in the slot perfectly. Superb, as all the other commenters have said.
Ed Norton could play Midge Ure in an Ultravox bio-pic.
oh hell isn't that Ed Norton on stage? Ha. LiveAid was one of the very first things I watched on telly when we moved to England. Still a fond memory, what a welcome eh?
Great shout that like
Really? Far more like Kevin Costner for my money.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
Exactly!
This definitely means SOMETHING to me! Loved this performance.
This is the greatest song of all time. 100% and more.!!!!.
Is anyone still enjoying Vienna in 2024? ❤❤❤
@cv507
vor 2 Jahren
any 1 hear 4 the sau$äge v v
Yes! I still enjoy Vienna.
Fuck yeah
Yes me..
+1
Feeling blessed for the honour of having grown up with such unmatched artists and their music - when performance was well ahead of attitude. 80s were a very special decade and Ultravox surely was at the helm of it.
Man, I'm proud of the singers/musicians my generation had the privilege to witness. Pure talent, masters of their craft! What a voice!
I can't stop listening to this. It is magnificent
Whenever somebody says that Queen were the best act that day, I always say hang on... performance wise, yes. Vocally? It was Midge Ure. Absolutely incredible vocal.
Saying he nailed the vocal is an understatement. My God.
Having seen Midge on a couple of his solo performances (just him, his guitar, and a very small venue, maybe 100 people) and he can still belt this out of the park, like he's performing in a stadium. Stunning.
Should have been Sir Midge Ure. This guy did most of the work setting up live aid, he never took any of the credit though.
Without Midge's planning and constant organisation in the background, geldof would never have got this off.
Correct
Agreed!
Some people like to remain in the shadows.
Is anyone STILL enjoying Vienna still in 2020?
oh yes
Again July 2020!
YUP!!!!
Me 🙋🏼♀️
Yes, absolutely!
What a song, what a voice, what a rhythm, what a performance. It is incredible to hear such a song. The perfection, I have not more words.
this performance is so absolutely magnificent- i did NOT expect that chorus! enthralling. the amount of breath control he has as well!
A very under rated band, a *very* under rated singer. What a performance!
Not underrated at all
George Martin said Ultravox were the best band he had worked with since the Beatles
@@kelbatt7729 was he senile by that point?
One of the greatest performances of all time
Absolutely brilliant..this is live..the emotion coming from midge ure singing voice is delivered so perfectly..it's not easy for a singer to sound as good live as their sound recording. Midge ure surpasses that.
Now that kids, is talent!
One of the greatest live performances of all time. Rock on
Saw him last week (Oct 2022) in Bremen and it was same vibe, passion and quality...!!! Had tears in my eyes... Just great!
Midge Ure, always forgotten when it comes to best singers!
Poor guy, Bob Geldof always gets all the credit for Live Aid when Midge Ure did so much
Its 2023..i was there but i have never understood why Midge was never credited for an amazing voice!
This is a rare raw portrait of a professional artist. We can see him at the peak of his art while the other half of him is struggling to hide the work behind managing the whole live aid.
Omg! The master class vocals of Midge Ure!! Astounding!! I watched this on the day of Live Aid back in 85, and have not seen the performance since. Wow!!! I salute you Midge!! The band were amazing too!! No one performs like this any more with this class, this heart and this conviction! Truly beautiful! Thank you Ultravox ♥️🙏
Who else watching this in March 2020? I am 55 and only just discovered this musical masterpiece a year ago.
Needless to say I have watched it countless times since then.
2023 and I still claim: the best song EVER
💯 love 💕💕💖💖 fra Danmark 🇩🇰
Super cool 👑 🤗 💖 👏
Total 80s 💯love 👑
it is in my top 10 of songs of the 80s yes !
🙄
One of it.👌👌👌👌👌
the way he belts out that chorus is phenomenal!
Goosebumps, chills, a whole lot of deep emotions here. Pure talent.
Up there with queen for me as best performance of the day. The range he has and the way he holds the note is utterly sensational
What a superb musician and craftsman Midge Ure is !!!
LIVE AID FACTS: You may of never known.
First of all, to clear satellite time and do a live broadcast all over the world at the same time was unheard of and untried in 1985. There were some technical glitches and sometimes the feed was even lost and the time would be filled in by MTV DJ's (MTV aired the broadcast and provided commentators).
As far as the missing material of some of the acts it doesn't exist in any recorded form anymore. Bob Geldof asked that the show not be recorded or rebroadcast and the BBC destroyed the tapes at his request. There was no plan to make a concert DVD (there were no DVD's) and sell it after the fact to raise money, which would have been smart. (I had about six hours recorded on VHS tapes, but those vanished over the years)
The concert was supposed to raise donations that day and awareness of what was going on in Africa. The only reason that any Wembley footage exists is that some of the tapes were lost and found years later in some dusty corner. Then they had to salvage what they found and use what could be used.
MTV recorded the broadcast also but a lot of the footage is with handheld cameras and substandard audio. They supposedly had over 100 hours of various types of footage and also salvaged what they could.
The Who are missing half of their set because the BBC had a power outage and it never made it to the air. Led Zeppelin specifically withheld their permission for their material to be used because they didn't like their performance. The rest of the footage is just gone. Musicians were not paid, obviously. The reason you see US bands in London and English bands in Philadelphia is because they were touring at the time and played at the closest venue. Bands are not missing off the DVD because they wanted more money etc.
As for the quality the sound has been remastered to 5.1 and actually sounds pretty good for the most part. The video is not always crisp but they did a pretty good job considering they were working with 20 yr old tapes. Its a 4 disc set that's well worth the money. It's a great snapshot of some of the acts that were at the top of their game in the 80's.
I remember the video breaks, instruments failing and I do recall that Roger Daltry screwed up the lyrics on one song. When Live Aid began, I knew it was an historical moment and I wanted to record as much as I could. It was only by luck that I learned much of the concert was put onto DVD. I will not be content however, until we get a digital copy. To me, digital is the only thing that guarantees this concert to endure for all time.
I loved how they switched back and forth from Wembley to JFK. Sometimes we arrived in the middle of a set during such transfers. I also wish they interviewed each act, to get their take on what was taking place. I am always thinking about the value of the moment, which is why I have recorded conversations with family members in the past, family now gone. Not to many folks think the way I do, as far as saving memories. In my grandmother's own words, she tells me about her childhood and the great depression. It is enjoyable to listen to. My father passed away, but I have him recorded as I told him some jokes. To hear his laughter after his death, some four years ago, is a precious gift. I think the same way about Live Aid. Try to keep in your life all the moments that bring you joy.

Wonderful, informative comment, and a true and heartfelt sentiment. Thank you for posting, Doug, it made me think and really resonated.
thank You for that!
Tremendous and beautiful, you just vindicated the comment option good sir :)
Thanks for the info. That explains why I'm unable to find some of the performances I'm looking for. I had no idea it hadn't been officially recorded for posterity but though there was a huge publicity build up and we all knew that a live concert broadcast of that magnitude had never been attempted before, I don't think many of us were aware that some of the performances that day were 'historical' in every way and that more than thirty years later people would still be astounded by them. My best friend's parents were away for the weekend so half a dozen of us decided to make use of the venue (and their huge TV). On the last minute friends from York and London joined us. It was the last time our whole group was together.
I had to go to my Army Reserve meeting that weekend and was so pissed..I had a friend record all of Live Aid on VHS that I still have..glad they finally made a DVD which I bought...have to say the Wembley portion was better than in Philly cause the VJ's and celebrities talked too much when the American bands were playing.
Saw him live at the Ulster Hall in Belfast a few months ago, it was worth the money just to hear Vienna played live, magic.
The acoustics are pretty good for an 80000 seat stadium. Midge did a great job, both performing and organising the event.
I remember seeing this live in the US that day. I had been a fan since around 1982 but hadn’t ever seen them live. This blew me away back then and it still blows me away in 2021. What a legendary group.
The violin part of the song is just wonderful
yes yes yes.
Woeful more like. Its out of tune.
@@ohdear2001 it's not out of tune.. it's because of all the speakers it bounces it all back an forth if u listen there's also a double beat..
@@jupiterr9892 it's out of tune.
What a voice.
True , beautiful voice 👌 , and wonderful band 👍 😃 !
Vocal and performance perfection! It may mean "nothing" to you Midge but this means everything to me... Goosebumps throughout and a massive smile on my face, then and now.... OH MIDGE! ❤
I remember being 15 and glued to the TV watching this. The next day I went out and got as many Ultravox cassettes as I could afford. 🥰
Saw Midge Ure on his solo tour in 2015, and he sounded as good as ever.
One can honestly say, a great and brave performance!
I lived in Vienna and yes it’s exactly as he describes
I want to visit Vienna because of this song
I visited Vienna and I know what you mean. "We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until"
Fun fact: No one in Ultravox had even been to Vienna when they wrote it.
I have no idea what the song means but I love it
Just don’t mention ze vor if you go to..Vienna
When he sings his attractiveness levels up to 10+
I agree... on the record. There's some awful tuning issues on this live version though, you can almost see it in his face as he plays 😂😬
Agree
Midge Ure is an attractive Human 😍
Listen at that amazing voice and this was done cold with no warming up!
What a superb musician and craftsman Midge Ure is !!!
He is one of the few artists that haven't lost voice, volume and heart.
Rumour has it that Ultravox had a prime slot at Live Aid.....but that it was taken by......The Boomtown Rats!!!
Midge subsequently gave this epic performance 👏 Superb vocals 🙂👍👍
Bummer that the Royal Couple missed out on Ure as a result.
yep midge ure has said it on recent documentaries im pretty sure that geldof moved the slots round so he could perform infront of the royals himself despite promising it to ultravox and everything ure did for live aid and band aid
Over the years I had forgotten how Midge absolutely nailed the vocals on Vienna - Excellent.
I remember watching Live Aid that day. It was so hot. He must be melting in that coat! 😥
me too pal, i was a kid living in east london and it was crazy hot that day
It was he trademark at the time though so wouldn't have looked the same without
Yes I can see him sweating in this video
I remember those coats and yer they where hot but you worn them anyway. Those where good good days
Incredible voice. What a great time that was. All those bands in one day. Fun times in the eighties.
This means EVERYTHING to me!!! Good Lord, Midge!!!
The best Live Aid performance by far! No one else brought vocals like this. 😍 ❤
Yes for the songs like this one.Its absolutely pure unique of this live performing.
