Is a great song, but his voice is incredibly weak and one tone

I've noticed how simple and quick the stage setup is for him. It's really just his guitar plugged straight into his amp through a scaringly short cable and the rest goes to the stadium's speakers. This is what makes this unique feeling of what LiveAid was. I wish they made quick concerts like this more.

If The Police had of performed at Live Aid, it would have for sure gone down in history and they would have blown the roof off the place. Both Andy and Stuart were available and willing but Sting was only into his solo career at this point. Still, a great performance.

I consider what they did exactly a year later at amnesty international to be their “live aid”

He's not singing music, HE IS MUSIC. Oh and don't forget the band ❤️

35 years in a couple of days Will never forget this day 51 now .........

One of the greatest lyricist and musicians of all time in Sting.......and the greatest saxophonist ever Mr. Branford Marsalis( yes i have given due consideration to Coltrane, Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Oliver Nelson etc)

He gave credit to the Sax dude mad respect 💯😎

He started off a bit shaky then got his bearings. His voice started to warm up. He signaled the sound man to lower the sax monitor just a tad and then Stingo ripped it in full voice.. A very difficult task indeed, to sing solo in a higher register like that in front of such a huge crowd without any effect on the voice, say for a bit of reverb. You can see and feel his confidence. A true professional.

Sting's voice is soooo amazing

No autotune needed..

Magnificent performance by Sting and Branford Marsalis! Bravo!

Live Aid was such a monumental event. I was a senior in High School in 1986 and remember watching as much as I could live on tv in July of 85, and recording it on vcr for later. I wouldn't trade coming of age in the 80's for any other decade if I had the choice. What a time to be alive!

The sax👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yes, his voice is amazing. And Bran, is great too.

tingles all the way up my spine; his voice is utterly remarkable, and the sax lick gives me life. Oh my, this is the pinnacle of musicality, and sting playing a guitar with six strings is a good look.

Sting, he's someone i look up to. The music he's making, i don't really listen to it but, the fact that he's doing it i respect that.

37 years ago today and it's 2022. One of the greatest performance of the night and ya. The world is still effed up.

I listened to this whilst driving to Alton Holland in 1995. My friend lived there great times

There are so many Live Aid lives... this might be the only one that is just "a man and his guitar" for the most part. I think this is the most impressive performance. And of course Branford Marsailis carying the other half is impressive too!

Just about to cry. This was the first hit that The Police had, and he sang it even after the band broke one year before (my English is terrible I know it) it is like a goodbye to that years -sobs-

W.O.W And he’s still got it 33 years on

Greatest concert ever it's like gathering all the Super Heroes for one show and that's it

Legend Brandford The amazing listener.❤

With the pandemic and everything, some network executive worth whatever should acquire the rights to rebroadcast this event in its entirety this Sunday one day shy of its 35th anniversary. I sit in front of the TV like I was at the concert for the whole day.
