Beatles ’85 pt3

It's July 13th, 1985 and a historic event is taking place on both sides of the Atlantic. It's LIVE AID, a worldwide televised live concert featuring the biggest acts in music -- united in support of Ethiopian famine relief. Organizer Bob Geldof, known as lead singer for the Boomtown Rats, organized the largest known concert fundraising effort in history - inspired in many ways by George Harrison's efforts to aid Bangladesh in 1971. And Bob's Beatle connections didn't stop with George - Geldof was able to secure Paul McCartney for the former fab's first live appearance since the dissolution of Wings in 1979...and with that the Beatle reunion rumors were reignited all over again...
