Description
“LIVE AID” is the biggest event of the 20th century…no, the biggest event in the history of human music. The best pro shot that vividly revives that day that colored the summer of 1985 has been decided to be released. This work is the fourth and final installment of the series moving forward towards the great competition USA FOR AFRICA. We have introduced many professional shots of “LIVE AID” so far, but this work is different. This event was broadcast live all over the world, but this work is the Japanese broadcast version. This work is the fourth installment. However, it is not a complete broadcast. The main broadcast was a long one, lasting about 16 hours, but this work is a selection of only “Western music” from that time. CMs inserted directly into the show, chatting with talent in the station’s studio, Japanese musicians on stage, etc. are eliminated as much as possible (although you can see some members of the Heisei Board of Education). The scene where I thought at the time, “Okay, let’s show a live performance with outside sauce!” has been removed, and now we can look back on that hot day with only delicious scenes. The biggest point of this work is the reality of “July 13, 1985”, and the quality of depicting it is also superb. At our store, we have archived a number of music programs with the super best masters provided by domestic record enthusiasts, and this work is also the latest. Since then, this maniac has pursued high-end equipment and environment, and is a real man who pays close attention to the state of preservation of his masters. Its quality has been proven in many masterpiece programs, but this work is one of the special ones. Currently, recording masters of “LIVE AID” have been reported from all over the world, but the quality of this work is outstanding. Despite the era when there is no digital broadcasting, it is a visual beauty that even comes close to the official DVD. [The 4th installment will reach a grand finale only at the American venue] Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get down to business. This is already too wonderful. This work is the third of a total of four works, and contains seven sets. Individually, I think many people choose their favorite band/musician. Let’s briefly summarize the contents of this work. ★9:39／CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG ★9:46／DURAN DURAN ★10:20／Patti LaBelle ★10:50／Hall & Oates ★11:15／Mick Jagger ★11:39／Bob Bob Dylan (with Keith Richards & Ronnie Wood)★11:55/USA FOR AFRICA *Note: All at JFK Stadium in the USA. The numbers are the start times (Japan time). …and it looks like this. The times listed above are the start timings of each band/artist converted to Japan time. As you can see, so far we have traveled to two locations: “Wembley Stadium in the UK” and “JFK Stadium in the US”, but at this time the UK version ends. This work rushes forward to the last part, USA FOR AFRICA, with only the US version. We are recording such highlights in the morning. The biggest names in the rock world appear one after another as the highlights are close together. That’s why there are many overlaps with the official DVD, but not all. The official DVD didn’t include CSN&Y in its entirety, and I heard real comments from the Japanese studio saying, “Oh, Young is here too. That’s amazing.” Other songs include DURAN DURAN’s “A View to a Kill,” Hall & Oates’ “Out of Touch,” “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” Mick Jagger’s “Lonely at the Top,” and Bob Dylan’s ” You can also watch numbers like “Ballad of Hollis Brown” and “When the Ship Comes In.” In this work, you can watch stably because there is no switch to Wembley Stadium, but the live broadcast feeling is still overwhelming. This was especially noticeable at JFK Stadium, but since the stage was so big, the acoustic players at LIVE AID couldn’t get the feedback they wanted from the monitors and had to have a hard time playing. This becomes even more so as JFK approaches nightfall. By then, Neil Young, CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH had completed their own live performances, but it was decided at the last minute to reunite as CSN&Y as they would be performing at the same event. Just like ZEP, there were many enthusiasts who were overjoyed at the sudden reunion, but just like them, the actual stage was a struggle. The important song “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” was not broadcast on Japanese broadcasting, and Neil was not seen complaining that the monitor was not working at all before it started, but the performance was still very good. I can clearly see that you are struggling. And “Daylight Again/Find the Cost of Freedom”, which was broadcast in Japan, is a performance that is not included in the official DVD. Another incident was Bob Dylan. While he was able to perform at JFK Stadium, he suffered the biggest hardship due to a malfunctioning monitor. The situation would have been better if they had used an electric acoustic guitar like CSN&Y, but it completely backfired on them to go on stage with an acoustic guitar set up to be picked up by a microphone, which is typical of Dylan. I don’t think it added fuel to the fire that Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood also had acoustic guitars (they were also in the mode of picking up live sounds). Even if you look at the video, it is clear that the three people cannot hear their performance satisfactorily, and two people other than Dylan repeatedly put their ears on their acoustic guitar. The bad things overlap, and at the end of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Dylan’s guitar strings break when he solos to Keith. It was wonderful that Ronnie noticed this and lent him his guitar, but unfortunately his acoustic guitar was tuned open for slide. Dylan doesn’t realize this, and even though he can’t hear himself very well, he just plays normal chords (of course the notes are off). Finally, Ronnie receives Dylan’s guitar from the staff and plays while holding his head as he sees that the strings are still broken. What was supposed to be an emotional finale turned out to be a disaster. And the highlight is USA FOR AFRICA. It was a grand finale befitting a huge event, but it was a Japanese broadcasting station that made the mistake. In “We Are the World,” the excitement of the last big highlight of a long, long event swirls, and the ending is… cut out. The caption says “Sponsored by: Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” but if the government wants to cooperate, it should be a certain broadcasting association, not a commercial broadcasting station. Even the complaints I complained about 34 years ago come back vividly. This work also includes additional bonus footage that gives a sense of the times. This is MTV’s “LIVE AID RECAP”. This is a special corner that was broadcast after “LIVE AID” ended, and featured backstage scenes. You can watch interviews with artists who participated in both the UK and US performances. Grace Slick said, “Woodstock was nothing compared to Live Aid,” and David Bowie said, “Originally, [‘Dancing In The Street’] with Mick Jagger was meant to be a satellite duet. However, there was a 0.5 second difference, so we decided to make (the PV) in advance.” Of course, this is also the Japanese broadcast version. The content is conveyed vividly with Japanese subtitles. “LIVE AID” is once again attracting attention due to the QUEEN movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.” However, even without the movie, it would still have been the biggest event of the 20th century. No, the 1980s was the era when popular music was at its peak in human history. In other words, “LIVE AID” was the largest music festival in human history. A masterpiece that allows you to experience the events of the century in real time. JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, USA 13th July 1985 (95:16) Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 1.
