Absolutely!
Kiddy on the tambourine having the time of his life. I hope he's had a good life and has fond memories of the day.
Killer version. Paul is just a brilliant musician and a songwriter. Kudos to the rest of the band.
This was a spectacular event at the time but as the years pass, it is all the greater for the fact there will never be another concert as fabulous as this.

We all sat in front of the TV for 24hrs .. this was an all day affair with tops bands and the charity which was so evident at the time and still is. Saw The Jam at Queen`s Hall, Leeds with my best friends at the time. I think this was the time when we got locked out of the car park and had to make our way home 40 miles away. What a night in more ways than one!

I'll never forgive Weller for breaking up The Jam but before that, I'll never forgive Weller's aul lad for dumping The Vapours to promote The Jam. Turning Japanese has got to be one of the greatest New Wave songs of the 80's.

I loved the way Talbot would bash the hell out of his keyboard/ piano keys- he must've gone through a few over the years. I too found the Jam's demise hard to live with but Style Council got me through the mid 80's just fine.

Amazes me how relevant his lyrics are today just as they were back in the day, even all the way back to The Jam.

What a great great artist... A top class visual entertainer.. And a absolute genius.... And this possibly his best performance and song..
I recently found an old CD of The Style Council in a drawer with 40 of their songs on it , and listening to it now, I can't believe I paid them so little attention at the time. One great track after another, and such a diverse range of musical styles. They really were terrific and hugely underrated
That song was played at a frantic pace - love it.

Paul is a legend - still going strong and producing great music 36 years later.
My favourite SC song… this great rendition packs a powerful emotional punch! ❤
What a performance. Had no idea they were this good and raw, live. Need to watch their whole performance now.
Underrated performance.
Nearly 36 years later, I have seen this for the first time. While Queen, rightly, took the plaudits for the best performance, But Style Council slammed dunked this to perfection. For the record, their setlist was Your The Best Thing; The Big Boss Groove; Internationalists and, of course, Walls Come Tumbling Down. There is a KZread vid of them singing Your The Best Thing and Big Boss Groove (search for The Style Council - Unreleased Performance (Live Aid). Enjoy!!

Britain's best lyricist and songsmith? Paul Weller's brilliant, but that accolade goes to Ian Dury for me. Wonderful rhymes, a huge and esoteric vocabulary, splendidly rude at times. Side-splittingly funny or deadly serious, sometimes weird, sometimes silly. But always clever. He seemed like Britain's unofficial poet laureate for a time. All delivered in that gruff Cockney non-singing singing voice. But again for some excellent socially aware lyrics, it's hard to beat PW.

If Santana-Shrieve-Soul Sacrifice was the symbol-icon of Woodstock, for me, The Style Council were for the Live-Aid. Best performance.

When Paul sang: You don’t have to take this crap - it captured the zeitgeist perfectly. Just a shame we still haven’t realised “the class war’s real not mythologised”. P.S. I loved Dee’s outfit and hairstyle here and, as a Uni student in the mid 80’s, I often dressed this way. It was such an easy to put together, relaxed and inexpensive style. Even today I like the slim leg pants with oversized top look. To me, it’s timeless.

Paul Weller noticed and had two children with her.
'The class war's real and not mythologized, and like Jericho walls come tumbling down !' Marx and the Bible quoted in a single pop song. Must be Weller's ultimate anti-Thatcher song in his canon.
