deebee29 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's amazing to think that it's 30 years today since the "Global Jukebox " that was Live Aid which got me wondering if any other members were on the broads that day. I remember we had Cherry Willow for two weeks that year and Live aid was on the middle Saturday. I was (and still am) a big music fan and have seen many of the bands that were on the bill so made sure I had plenty of batteries for the radio ....no charging points or power supplies in those days. It was a gloriously hot summers day (remember them?), we were on the Southern rivers and We listened all day. We moored at Oulton Broad If I remember right and we got a tv signal (black &white ) so was able to see Queen, U2 and many of the others. I bought the Dvd set when it was released around 10 years ago and always remember that holiday when I watch it. So where were you on the day? Was anyone else on the Broads that day? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I was at home in my little house (bought after my divorce) I taped it on my VHS recorded (how dated is that) I still have the tape somewhere with lovely Whitney Houston belting her songs out. I loved every minute of it, Do you remember Salt and Pepper? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I was at Wembley. Queen/Bowie & Dire Straits and the young lady stood next to me sans t-shirt & underwear were the highlights. Lowlights were Adam Ant (garbage) and Led Zep (Utter Garbage) Patti LaBelle (I lost the will to live). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwellian Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 They had an impromptu performance of it at a Boy George concert, I think it was Dec 1984, great fun. I am sure that was where they got the idea for the concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tan was devistated when JLS split. I liked Whitney Houston but prefered Dolly Partions original version "Of I will always love you" it had a special meaning to Dolly being as she wrote it.
