Nick Rhodes is a genius. This gentleman, cEvin Key, and Rhys Fulber are the best.

Anyone notice that none of them are wearing hearing protection? For anyone who knows the bands history, this concert was put together at the last minute, that is, not playing together for a year, flying in and having little time to practice. The feedback ..high squeal noises.... happened in many stadiums with performers. With that large of a crowd, it would knock anyone off key. I think considering the circumstances, this was a great concert. They may have felt more at home at wembley stadium, but they were a young band, touring constantly, 3 albums, and the stress shows. John had a drug problem, Andy partied, and Roger quit shortly after this concert. It was an honor just to play. Here we are, 33 years later, .....who is still making new music, alive, from live aid? I watched live, and I didn’t care. I was home, but those who 💩 on Duran Duran because of this, or define them because of this? You don’t know Duran Duran.

It's all about expectations. Duran Duran was the #1 rock band in the world at the time - "View to a Kill" was #1 in just about every country. There was a LOT of pressure on them to be perfect, but let's be real: they hadn't played together in 18 months, they were all sick of each other, Roger didn't even want to do it anymore, and John and Andy were very likely high as kites during this performance. Add to that there was no sound check and the general mayhem of the day, and yeah, you get something that isn't as tight as it should have been. But like you, I thought the performance was fine for what it was. Many acts were worse. If you don't believe me, go watch Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's performance. Every single one of them was off-key and David Crosby was so drugged out he didn't even move. It was awful.

True. Even so much going bad they still rockin. What a band. To bad Andy left the band, but he began overplaying with the band which wasnt good at all

One of the greatest bands of all time 💗

I remember staying up just to catch this performance.... I was so enthused by Simon.

They pulled this off amazing
