Live Aid<\/a> on DVD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Live<\/p>\n

Deemed by many \u201cthe greatest show on earth,\u201d Live Aid<\/a> was, and is still to this day, the largest benefit concert of all time. On July 13th, 1985, the biggest names in Pop and Rock music joined together at both Wembley Stadium<\/a> in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia<\/a> to raise money for the famine<\/a> that left \u2155 of Ethiopia\u2019s total population without food. <\/p>\n

Huge stars including, but not limited to, Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Sting were all present across the two locations. In total, they raised more than $127 million towards famine relief \u2013 almost $330 million by today\u2019s standards. <\/p>\n

The four-disc DVD set of the event<\/a> is available at Parsons Music library. In its case, you\u2019ll see photographs from the concert, as well as a pamphlet that contains the first draft of “Do They Know It\u2019s Christmas?<\/a>,” two pages from the original Live Aid program, and various facts about the significance of the event. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have a DVD player? Have no fear! At Parsons Music Library, you can check out portable disc drives<\/a> or visit study spaces<\/a> with DVD players inside. If you have any questions, someone behind the front desk will always be available to help. <\/p>\n
