yes it has.

Since July 13, 1985 the concert footage has remained locked away, and has never been shown in full since. Now the Band Aid Trust has gained permission from all of the artists to release a definitive four-disc Live Aid DVD set.

P.S. It will be released internationally by Warner Vision International on November 1.

dude, I 've read the original article and you've added Prince's name to the list!
That's wishful thinking gone haywire



I believe I have to agree with pald1 on this topic. In the three seperate articles I have read, none of them list Prince as a featured performer. Most consistent list follows:

Stars who performed at Live Aid were U2, Sting, David Bowie, Elton John, George Michael, The Who, Madonna, Queen, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath, Spandau Ballet, Dire Straits, Paul Weller, Sade, Paul Young, Adam Ant, The Boomtown Rats, The Cars, Bryan Ferry, Bryan Adams, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Beach Boys, Judas Priest, The Style Council, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, Nile Rodgers, Hall & Oates, Status Quo, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Howard Jones, Teddy Pendergrass, Alison Moyet, and Kenny Loggins.

((*See this reliable source for confirmation on who was there.*))http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/L/Live-Aid.htm

This article mentions that Prince provided a "4 the Tears..." clip, but I am not sure what that means.

I as much as any self-respecting fan would love to see the full "4 the Tears in Your Eyes" video on DVD, but I am not holding my breath for this one. I will instead enjoy the version of the song on the "We Are The World" Album and the version included in the "Hits/B-Sides" Collection.

If you're trying to say you don't think '4 the tears in your eyes' won't be on any of these DVD's, i'm going to go along with you. Can't see it at all, i think it'll concentrate on the acts that took the time to actually perform in London and Philadelphia, and rightly so. i was pissed that Prince wasn't there, i think i'd actually prefer if his afterthought wasn't included (even if it is a good song!)

as someone who was old enough to actually remember watching the concert, it aired *during* the broadcast.

some of you are forgetting that it's going to be a 4-dvd boxset.

lastly, i put in a phone call to production research at warner home video (818-954-6406) to get a confirmation that the video will be included.... as soon i receive a callback (they return all calls), i'll post their response here.

calm down mate...just bear in mind that you may actually not be right here. Different versions of the show aired around the world - there was not just one definitive version.

Yes, we all know Prince sent in the video clip but it wasn't even aired in the UK, so it was not aired 'during the broadcast' everywhere...

I'm sure we are all waiting with baited breath for them to return your call....wink

You bought a box set called "Royal Visons"? I have never heard of it. I did a search on a couple of music sites to check for availability and I didn't see it anywhere.

*Curious*
