What a day that was. Was there with a woman I loved very much and this moment was magical. It pretty soon all fell apart but I kind of think if we had met much later in life love might have been kinder to us. Still, its a wonderful song and I always think of her when I hear this.
That's a lovely comment. Shame everything has good and bad involved.
@@mrdeafa25 That was a nice message. It's easier said than done as everybody tells you the same " life will get better " but my friend never forget the happy memories and we would have the day's back in a heartbeat 💓. All the best and have no regrets. Wrong decision right time or wrong time right decision.
You need to move on
The new wave era. For me it's the best. I was 15 then. This is my favorite song by the Style Council, You're the best thing. So cool. My ever changing mood is also one of my favorites.
How gorgeous is Paul and that sultry voice ❤
I was there 😀
Lucky you
I hate you!! 😂👍🏼
Wow, you are so lucky. That’s just amazing. Wish I could have been there with you. 💝✌️
Wow lucky you
Wonderful! I 've watched Live Aid on television all day, it was just great, I felt so lucky to see all the bands !!
Couldn’t get enough of Style Council growing up in New Zealand when I was young. Had to wait patiently for radio stations to play any of their music. The joy now of being able to sit back and listen at my own leisure is just absolutely blissful. Will never ever tire of his amazing voice.
Beautiful bor,just beautiful💛💚👍.
I think that's Dee Cee Lee on backing vocals.they got married and divorced.She did a ducking beautiful song called "see the day" where she's walking through a deserted Trafalgar square.it's very moving imo!
Agree !!

My Husband Introduced Me to The Jam ..
The Best Thing.
Goose bumps 40 years later! I was so lucky the share a beer with Mick Talbot back stage back in 2003 in Oslo. Playing the Council every day on my piano.❤
I absolutely love this song!
When the world was a better place. Happy memories❤❤❤❤
Weller , probably the only performer from that day at Wembley that's not a caricature of himself still in 2022 .
What does this mean by caricature of themselves? Are you saying that every other performer that day is a caricature of themselves in 2023? A bit harsh, makes little sense...😂
@oldwight6703 it was meant to mean that the other acts that day are now on their 100th greatest hits tour or playing the 80s weekenders at Butlins ....Not many out there on tour promoting albums of new material as serious artists 👍
@kevinmassey7675 I went to Billy Ocean live here in Australia a month ago. Sure, he does a lot of retro festivals too. But he did play two songs off his 2020 album and they sounded great. It's not Mr Ocean's fault that all marketing and the pleb "entitlement" generations focus instead on junk music produced on autocue.
@oldwight6703 Much respect to Billy Ocean , a fine voice and some brilliant songs .....but when I posted about "performers on that day," I meant the performers at Live Aid and specifically, at Wembley....
@@kevinmassey7675 Billy Ocean performed 2 songs at Live Aid, right before Ozzie and his band
40 years later, I was 20 yrs old, I had NO idea The Style Council played Live Aid! Growing up in Canada, I'm a big Jam and Style Council fan, we watched most of the Philly concert, which was great, esp. The Cars and Queen on the UK side. I'll have to revisit some more bands that I missed and or forgot. Great Era!!
The abrupt key change from A major to F” major is beautiful and way ahead of its time, and the transition back to A major is smooth and seamless. Such a great bit of writing.
Just the most happy memories ever. Cool band and great song. Sadly time doesn't stand still and 40 year's ago we all have the love and memories of such a happy day. A day l would have back in a heartbeat. Love to you all ❤
Most underrated band ever just love them
Love this song. Eternally, one of the GREATEST EVER written, and sung, by this young man, in his day. Sincere Aloha and God bless on the journey ahead.
✨️ 💖 I agree.
Glued to the black and white TV in East Berlin. I love the Style Council!!!❤
Great song and performance on a beautiful day! 💯 💜
Paul Weller always the best singer of 80s🙏👍💪❤️
90s 200s so on & so on
@@Smiffy830👍👍👏👏🏴🏴
You must be forgetting Mark Hollis.
and the Seventies as member of The Jam!
He's good and might be your fave but he's not a patch on Roland Orzabal in terms of vocal ability and range.
He is beautiful x
What a day that was! Just leaving school, joining college.... Watched this live! Loved it then and now. Those good old days.....
Oh Yeah ! I still love this all these years later.
This is absolutely beyond fantastic!! I love this band! They were just waaaaayyyy!!!!, ahead of their time. Listen to those beats, those arrangements and just the sheer energy of this band!! Be it, slow groove, chamber groove or just a regular pop funk groove this band could carry over now and sound as relevant ( even more so today) than most of this music today!!
I am serious and direct in saying this too! This band has a sound that just lasts through time!!
Just incredible!!
4:05 love that yell... great performance, great summer vibe for a classic 80s song. Insane this was left off the DVD release.
maybe that is what the announcement could be about a new expanded DVD/Blu-Ray with full sets by every artist now that we are getting restored footage on this site of songs not included on the original DVD release
I was not shocked when this was not on the DVD release. IMHO, Paul's lyrics, which focused on political injustices, fair sharing of wealth & his fervent dislike of Thatcher, Reagan & the establishment, contributed to less than enthusiastic opinions within record companies & mainstream media in the USA & UK. Consequently, The Style Council never got the recognition & audience it deserved, which - in turn - meant that it would likely be a lower priority when the bean counters & marketing experts made decisons regarding the DVD release.
@@aburrows2008 fingers crossed that you're on the mark with that!
@@derekbaker3279 That would make sense if it weren't for the case that most members of the media shared all those same opinions.
THE BEST, THE BEST SHOW ALL OF TIME! LIVE AID 1985 !!!
Another great song from the style council brilliant and hard to believe that this is 1985 my son was 2yrs old now he's nearly 40 how the years fly by love this walk down memory lane
Oh!... How I adore Paul Weller and the Style Council. Brings me to joyful tears with this soulful song. This is my wedding song.
Me too! We divorced, but he is my absolute best friend always and forever 🫶🏼
my wedding song as well!!
80’’s music 🎶 Real music and Great Artist ❤️
The coolest man alive. 😎
Paul and Dee C where phenomenal, Great feel good music

Sempre bate uma saudade desse tempo maravilhoso onde a humanidade era mais feliz mesmo com todas as dificuldades existente...!!!!
Великолепные 80-е!!! Прекрасное время! Какая классная музыка! 👍 Какие исполнители!!!☝Слушаешь их песни,буквально на одном дыхании!!! 👏👏👏
Супер!!!!! 👍
I remember this day very well.
It was hot as Hell in Philadelphia
Still enjoy listening to this song on 2023 wedding and funeral song best ever hope to see Paul Weller live one of these days
I remember this; I just finished high school, came home from working my summer job at Howard Johnson’s. Caught the last bits of the concert. Such a beautiful collaboration for a worthy cause. Still love the music of the 80s. Style Council was one of my favourites. ♥️
What last bits did you see?
I grew up listening to the 80's pop, Rock and new wave music....
some of the last few years of good music
The 13th of july 1985, I was in Athens for the Rock Festival few days later ! The good old days of my lifetime !
How did I miss this song back then? I like it.
Same. I do not remember this.
The long hot summer just passed you by
Take my money now for the BluRay... 👍
One of the gorgeous lead singers in the 70’s-80’s.
YESSS
Great band from the 80,s.
My fave band from the 80s 😍
What a time to be alive.
Przepiękne wspomnienie i do dziś nie wiem jak to było możliwe,że na dyskotece w Bukszprycie (Gdynia in Poland) było puszczane Live Aid na odbiornikach TV .Dookoła panowała zatęchła komuna ,a na dyskotece w lipcu 1985 Live Aid ,to były czasy najlepszej muzyki wszelkich stylów.
Paul Weller! Fucking incredible
Essa música é um clássico aqui no Brasil, saudades dos anos 80 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😢❤🇧🇷.
Brilliant Performance!!!
Il meglio della musica anni 80..una generazione di fenomeni❤
Lovely Summery Late 70's vibe to this song - long hot summers to be young eternal...alas....
Great song, great band 👍
I have always loved this Song.😊
I love this song and the Style Council
Goodness they were brilliant .... always loved Weller
Great listening to their music today true class hope to see them live one day
Style Council what can I say???
Not only the songs but the fashion style..
Still and always will be one of my favourite bands..so smooth...
Fantastic song ❤
Paul weller!! Fucking incredible.
An amazing performance by Paul Weller. 'Shout to the top' is my favorite.
the intro. best intro ever!
they were really enjoying that performance
2023 still a class act
Voce bellissima e bravi tutto il gruppo
Brothers of the 80’s 🙋♀️ Present. @🤩 The Best Decade of All’s ~^*~*^~ love
The Music 80age is Wonderful ❤
For me, this live version is much better than the studio version 😀
Just beautiful ❤
2024 ainda continua sendo minha banda e música preferida
Great! ✨️ 💖
Foxton and Buckler probably watched this at the pub thinking that should be The Jam up there.
So underrated from the live aid performances
🌟Hi!! Thank you very much for impressive, great sharing!🌾
Just one of many pop bands from the 80s that I didn't appreciate. Every time I see one of these British bands from the 80s, I think they're going to suck, but they're incredible
I understand,... Even, Duran Duran sound decent now 🤣
Great 🎵 song - still to this day!
To my Son my world. Even more the children he made for me ♥ Xx
Good looking guy
I love this song ..very good times
It was a cool day to be alive.All the show lacked was Leif Garrett.
You just cant beat a scorching British summer day can ye!
Just love this band even though I’m in my late 60’s now. Paul has such a powerful voice n they all harmonise so brilliantly 👏👏👏👌👍
この頃のウエラーの声 あまいなー！ そして ソロになり かれていく！ どちらも良いですね✨
TSC critically underrated band. Inspired players.
I don't believe anyone could underrate the tsc not possible
@@timprice3704 Bombed across the pond. Music & lyrics remain peerless.
I’m from across the pond and am a massive fan. I honestly don’t know many that ever mentions them.
@@timprice3704 Queen fan Timmy ?
Would have been nothing with out Paul Weller.
Wow, me hubiera. Gustado estar allí, que buena voz y muy guapo!!!
I remember watching LiveAid on tv when living in Luton
Such an underrated band, and lead singer is SUPER CUTE!
Tellement bien! Un groupe génial que je prends plaisir à écouter more ans more🌟
God dammit. This is so freaking good! ❤❤❤❤
Paul is a musical genius..
Truly phenomenal! ❤
class - this is the first time i use this word
You picked the right context! This is pure class.
Saw them at Glastonbury 2 weeks prior to the live aid gig. They were class.
Omg he was so 😎
The Godfather of Britpop. We werent really aware those days what we were witnessing.
Pure soul
Its a brilliant Song.
メチャクチャカッコイイ❗️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I had forgotten how good this was
you really can only play this song during the summer months.... fits it so well :0)
The best thing that ever happened..IT WAS A SCORCHER!!😂❤❤❤
This is my favourite Live Aid performance
I saw it on tv❤
Loved everything Style council. Years later we get to see Paul Weller when he tours in the states. Steve White looks 15 here but he joined Weller around 17 I think
Che estate pazzesca, 1985 .... meravigliso anche il loro concerto.
This is what i want
Gorgeous...
