Queen were good shame about the rest
Review date: 2007-02-11 Rating: 8 out of 10
I only bought this dvd for the full 20 minute blistering set from queen, which as history will tell you were the best band of the day by miles. As for U2 I actually thought overated, they only perfomed 2 songs in there set, unlike queen who fitted 6 in by not overkilling the numbers, and performing it in a medley which was the whole idea a lot of bands forgot was to maxamise and utilate your time the best way possible, not boring the audience. Definatly the sound at wembley has been polished, unfortuntly the american contribution isn'nt too briliant with very poor audio sound indeed apart from the maddona set which was well mixed. However let's not lose sight that buying this dvd will save lives, even its not the most polished of concerts, all to a good cause nonetherless.

Very disapointed in the DVD, only a couple of songs in full, should have spent the extra and bought the four DVD set, you get what you pay for
Advert for the 5-disc set
Review date: 2005-07-16 Rating: 6 out of 10
With no extras, this disc is a 50 minute advert for the 5 DVD Live Aid set. Some memorable songs are included in full, others in excerpts.
Please note that the disc is encoded in NTSC, not PAL. On my TV, the reduced resolution and line structure were noticable.
