KCTS airs Live Aid special
KCTS’ Channel 9 will give his viewers a chance to experience again the unprecedented Live Aid concert that rocked the world from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean on July 13, 1985.
A 90-minute special, “Live Aid: The Day the Music Changed the World.” is set to air at 9:30 pm Tuesday, March 22, 2005, with repeats at 1 a.m. and 11:30 pm on March 25.
The special is a sneak peek at clips that have been collected from the archives of the BBC and MTV. The footage is unique because the show was never meant to be recorded.
The KCTS/Seattle program is not a documentary and doesn’t provide any behind-the-scenes insight. It’s 60 minutes of hit after hit that giving us a chance to relive a momentous day.
Viewers will be treated to a burgeoning Bono – with his 1985 hair and outfit providing a little chuckle – screaming the anthem, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” and Sting and Phil Collins performing an unlikely duet, bringing Wembley’s packed crowd to virtual silence with their rendition of the Police’s “Every Breath You Take.”
A pre-Kabbalah Madonna brings a youthful and celebratory vibe – and sings live! – with her breakthrough hit, “Holiday” and Freddy Mercury prances around the stage, leading Queen in a performance of “Radio Ga Ga” that sends thousands of arms into the air, clapping in unison. And the diva meter spins out of control as Mick Jagger and Tina Turner take the stage together.
Tune in and you’ll see it all.
