Live-Aid was quite good.  I listenned most of the day and watched it on
ABC-TV when they showed it at 8:00PM EDT.  It was also nice to listen to
it on ABC's radio network.  Worked out well...I just turned on the TV
and turned down the sound.  ABC stopped showing leftovers from London
about 9:30 or so, so you didn't have to listen to Duran Duran and watch
Paul McCartney (but I do suggest it if you want a laugh)

Madonna, for all you may dislike her music, still came up withthe most
notable quote of the Philly Concert.  She remarked about taking off her
coat and how "She wasn't going to take anything off ever again or they
might get me for it in ten years."

Mick Jagger & Tina Turner were dynamite doing "State of Shock."  Who wrote
that?!  WHen Mick & Mike did it, it was pretty weak.  Tina added a bit
of raunch to the song, which seems to be just what it needed.  I was kind
of hoping that Mick would do "Lucky at Love", but he didn't.

Led Zep was quite good.  I've never been an outrageous fan, but it was
easy to get caught up in the grandeur.

All in all, a good show even if alot of the promised people didn't show.
I'm glad to hear it made lots of money.
