Hello darlings! Does anyone know where i can download the footage of Queen at live aid? (Queen part only) I've tried YouTube but they don't seem to have it. Many thanks indeed! |

buy the dvd for £30-£40, not just do you get the whole show, you also give to charity and feed a kid for a day or week, or you could just download it and starve someone in africa |

Wow. Blown out of proportion much? Yes, the Live Aid DVD is supporting Africa, and yes, it's kind of a large sum to swallow for just watching Queen (and the Who, in my case). But no need to compare this guy to AIDS. Flash, I'd think of heading for some of the seedier download methods. ISOhunt, LimeWire, etc. |

Flash!: If you can afford a PC, and the Internet Service Provider which allows you to connect to the internet, you CAN afford the 'Live Aid' DVD. All is relative. RE: The UK National Minimum wage. There are three levels of minimum wage, and the rates from 1st October 2005 are: £5.05 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older. A development rate of £4.25 per hour for workers aged 18 - 21 years inclusive. 3.00 per hour which applies to all workers under the age of 18. The 'Live Aid' DVD can be purchased and delivered from 'Play.com' for £24.99 - so even at £3.00 per hour, this equates with only 8hrs labour. In parts of Africa, £24.99 can equate to 3 MONTHS labour. Now: I do NOT agree with Dennis in that "You aren't worth the blood that runs trough your veins, nor the air that you breath and the water you drink", but I do think that you should stew in your own guilt, and that you can not sleep at night, reflecting on the lives you have SNUFFED out, because of your greed and relative selfishness. |

So you THINK i want those people to die! Well i dont! You obviously THINK i'm some sort of monster with a cold heart! But there are other ways in helping these people like actually going out there and taking real action! SO I DON'T THINK BUYING A DVD IS REALLY GOING TO MAKE AFRICANS SURVIVE AND HERE YOU ARE... A BUNCH OF ADULTS FUSSING ABOUT WHETHER I SHOULD BUY A DVD OR NOT WHEN THEY ARE DYING RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. THERE ARE DYING WHERE WE ARE JUST MAKING A HUGE FUSS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO. SO, IM ASKING YOU TO STOP LOOKING DOWN AT ME AND TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND IN YOUR SEWAGE.

Be strong, be proud, and buy the DVD!!! |

What the bloody fuck, people. He just wanted to know where he can get clips of Queen. No need to blow a head gasket about it. Keep in mind that up until recently, there WAS no legal way to get Live Aid footage. Unless you had a friend who VCR'd the concert, you were fucked. And plus, he's looking for just Queen footage, not the whole damn concert (and even then, it clips out the Zeppelin reunion). Who in their right mind would spend $40US, even if it's charitable, for just 7 songs, and a fraction of a DVD that'll actually be watched? That's not being "like AIDS" or "against Africa", my friends, that is avoiding a bad deal. Yes, I bought the DVD set. Four DVDs, and I've probably only watched a few acts: Queen (including Freddie and Brian's little bit near the end of the London show) The Who The Beach Boys U2 Dire Straits Status Quo (and I-like-it-I-like-it-I-like-it...) ...and that's really about it. Huh. Besides, as much as Bob Dylan likes to think it's doing good, unless there is massive across-the-board debt reduction, removal of corrupt government and warlords, and Marshall Plan-style reconstruction and funds for roads, schools, healthcare and other servics, there is no way that Africa is gonna get any better off. |

This is a Classic QueenZone Moment and I shall treasure it for the rest of my life, haha :). You know, with the usual overreacting on one side and the other until the topic grows and grows. It's kinda fun, actually. I used to have the video in MPEG but I bought the DVD set when it came out. It's a nice set to have, eventhough I haven't seen the whole thing. It's been told that it's not really allowed to share officially released material over here. There are ways to get it, there always are, but you should really consider buying it just to have it in the best possible quality. I'm on a good mood today, so I won't rant about people only downloading the official material and not actually buying the records, etc. It's been done to death and I don't mean to do it again. Save your money, get it later. People used to do this when there was no Internet, in the Stone Age, haha :). Wiley |

For piss sakes, shell out the damn cash and pick up the whole DVD and do some good for charity. If you're in the US you can pick it up at your local Wal-Mart for like $19.99. Or just look online and find a cheap price for it. There are actually some very good performances on there, though Queen is without a doubt the very best. It was apparent even on that day that they stole the show. I understand you wanting to see it, but the cost of the DVD is for a very good cause. Bite the bullet and just get the whole set. Hope that didn't come off as too pissy as that was not my intention :-) |

Flash!, Yours was a simple, heartfelt request. No hard feelings here. I bought Live Aid at Best Buy for maybe $19.99. After reading this thread, I feel guilty about not sponsoring a child as seen on tv commercials. The next time I go grocery shopping, I am going to buy some for the food shelf which I really need to do every time. On the DVD besides Queen you get Eric Clapton, Mick and Tina, Mick and Bowie dancing down the street which is really fun, and at the end of disc 3, Pattie Labelle does Imagine and Forever Young, and her performance is riveting. Stunning! |

I'm not here to cause chaos and i don't appreciate being insulted and wished to die and starve. Thats just totally over-reaction. Thanks poppy, atleast a few people can see sense. I would reply to this nicely and respect everyones opinions on this if they just answered me politely. I didn't ask for nasty remarks at all. I didn't post this to cause any trouble and i'm not certainly killing anyone...i wouldn't want to in a million years. I do realise it goes to the people who are dying but alot of money from these products have gone to waste. For example, some shops sell it but hardly any money goes to these suffering people. It just goes purely for financial profit, which is even worse! Plus, Bob Geldof himself had his say with Margeret Thatcher to try and stop the government from taxing all the donations from these products, etc. So, unfortunately, whether we like it or not, these africans will still continue to suffer and die. If i had the power to change it i certainly would! So, i ask for this argument to stop. We shouldn't spend time making matters worse and bursting a few blood vessels whilst doing it. Peace!

I have the original TV footage of Queen on my computer from BBC's broadcast, there is a horrible bit of feedback during Crazy Little Thing Called Love, but of course when the DVD was released I went straight out to buy that! I hope and advise you do the same. Also on the DVD if you listen closely, you can still hear that bit of feedback, but the editors have done a great job. |

Certain parts of Africa are known to be severely underprivileged - hence the theme this thread has taken. Flash is being accused of stealing indirectly from the said Africans by not purchasing the DVD. Therefore, by stealing from Africans directly, one is participating in an act far worse than indirectly stealing from them via the lack of a DVD purchase. A major comedic tool used in this joke is this exaggeration. There is the added effect of shock value - another popular comedic tool. Since it would be so heinous to actually perform this action, more comedic value is thus added. Calling the Africans "little buggers" also lightens the mood, giving the whole situation a different perspective. Hence, more comedy. This type of humor is often categorized in the sarcastic or satirical categories. |

I'll readily admit that in the heady days of 2003, I did download an audio version of Live Aid because the DVD wasn't out yet. I've yet to pick up a copy of it, but I also haven't listened to my mp3 in a year or two... Basically, I'm pretty non-chalant about piracy. I couldn't give a stuff if people download anything and everything, but if it's related to charity (nay - not just related, but dedicated to this purpose) then just go freaking buy it, or miss out. Simple. |

jcrawford79 16.02.2006 12:14 |
The Live Aid DVD was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. $40 is a lot of money just just watch 5 or 6 Queen songs. So I see your point, Flash. And if people think this is pathetic, well then so are they. I only donate to 2 charities annually, one being St. Judes and the other being a local organization which distributes food and medical supplies to Africa and South America. I have no guilt about saying that Live Aid is waste of money. Furthermore, if the starving Africans are that important to everyone in here, why the hell aren't they down there helping instead of bitching about it in a web forum. Bunch of self-righteous drama queens..... |
Suigi 16.02.2006 15:34 |
Although the charity aspect of it is beneficial, we have to look at it from both logical and emotional perspectives. Logically, it's a bad bargain. You're paying $40 for 6 or 7 songs that you really want. Emotionally, it's helping the less fortunate. You're paying $40 so that African children can eat. Instead of thinking which is right or wrong, acknowledge both viewpoints. So what if Flash! doesn't want to purchase the DVD? Does that make him a bad person? It's his perspective, his money, his choice. And no amount of yelling at him is going to change that. Those of us on one side shouldn't try to impress our views on those on the other. Please people, don't make this bigger than it is. I've half a mind to "leak" the Queen Live Aid footage onto YouTube, since I paid/wasted/donated $40 for the DVD, and like I stated previously, have only watched about 25% of the damn thing. |

Suigi wrote: Logically, it's a bad bargain. You're paying $40 for 6 or 7 songs that you really want. Emotionally, it's helping the less fortunate.I agree. Considering that Queen's performance is the reason many of us bought this set in the first place, it IS a bad bargain. But, if you feel a charity tug, whether you have the set or not, you can always go to Bob Geldof's website and donate a little something directly from there. It does the heart good. |
mr_praline 16.02.2006 15:52 |
As many previous posters have said, you should get the DVD, it's worth it just for Queen's performance but you also get many others such as Bowie, The Who etc. However, can someone please tell me the difference between downloading a free copy of 'Live Aid' and downloading a free copy of official bootlegs through the QueenZone forum? The profits from both are going to charity, one to relieve famine and one to help sufferers of HIV/AIDS. Are people who download free copies of the official bootlegs therefore saying that HIV/AIDS is not as important, or is it that denying a charity £30.00 is unacceptable but £5.00 is? |
ok.computer 16.02.2006 16:07 |
For my tuppence worth... I'm 34, but was only 13 when it was broadcast. I'm quite happy to buy it for (a) nostalgia reasons, as lots of the gig was excellent, and I was around at the time! and (b) it is indeed worth supporting a worthwhile charity. Remember, without the format of Live Aid, there MIGHT have been no Freddie Tribute concert, no Mandela concert etc. Just a thought. My little place in history... The release of Live Aid on DVD was precipitated by some bloke in (if I recall correctly) Lancashire selling pirate copies on ebay. The last bid on the whole concert on ebay was £110. I know, because it was my bid that was cancelled after Sir Bob was alerted to the auction. I received a nice stern email about receiving stolen goods from the gentleman's local constabulary too. Now, I was prepared to pay that for a pirate copy - and not just for Queen's performance. Paying £36 for four DVDs which really are a time capsule of the music of the time. Really, just put your hand in your pocket and pay the money. Watch the whole gig, even if you aren't interested initially. See the fledgling U2 and Madonna. See Adam Ant play one song in the key of "who's that on stage?" See the Quo send the house wild at the opening chords. And yes, see the mighty Queen bring the house down - there was no louder roar when a band came on stage. Cough up. |

NOTHING is a waste of money if it's going to help people in Africa.First of all Linda, I'm not questioning you're motives or trying to tell you that you're wrong. You one of the few here that I respect. You're very pleasant and seem to be a very rational person. I still feel, however, that this DVD is a waste of money....and, again, no I have shame in saying that. I give money to charities because I want to.....not because I want a DVD in return for my gesture. Furthermore, if I already donate money to charities which assist poverty stricken nations, why should I feel bad that I regret spending $30 on a DVD set of which I only care about one performer when I could've spent $20 and obtained an entire Queen concert. From a historical perspective or philanthropic perspective, its not a waste of money. But from a Queen fan's perspective who has no interest in the other performers at Live Aid, its a waste of money. Sorry if I'm being offensive but that's just my opinion. And by the way, this is not to say that I would illegally download a copy of their performance, because I wouldn't. I did eventually fork over the cash for it. But in hindsight, I could easily have lived without having this performance. |

In response to Thanks lovely post... What kind of music fan likes Queen and none of the following, you ask? Assuming that's not rhetorical question, then I'll answer it for you......this kind of music fan. First of all, it WAS NOT Led Zeppelin because Bonham wasn't there. And I have no use for Zep without him. So that takes care of that one. McCartney wasn't a great solo artist in my opinion. And the rest on the list I could give a rats ass less about. Second question on your list...."How fucking blinkered must one be that the only interesting part of Live Aid is Queen's bit?" Well, pretty fucking blinkered I guess. And I will waste no more time with your conformist attitude. Have a good day. |

Finally what kind of music fan likes Queen and none of the following...? David Bowie Eric Clapton Bob Dylan Status Quo U2 The Who Led Zeppelin Paul McCartney Dire Straits Madonna The Beach BoysI can think of a few names. My analysis: Bowie - meh. Neutral. Clapton - see above Dylan - don' like him Status Quo - AWESOME. Totally did not expect that. I like these guys now. U2 - Bad is good. The Who - This was the 2nd band that sold me on LiveAid. Daltrey actually nails the scream on WGFA. Zep - Cut off the DVD. Not missing it. Paul - Meh. He re-recorded the Let It Be in a studio before the DVD release. Dire - Another band I wanted to see. Madonna - Not a big fan. Beach Boys - I enjoy them. Despite all that, I still say that I basically bought the DVDs for Queen. Why? Because unlike the rest of the groups, Freddie was at his utmost best. THAT is why the Queen bits stick out like a sore thumb: because it was Queen's finest half-hour on the world stage. |

"Thanks" : The downloads on QOL are NOT for charity. The blank discs are. Therefore unless you're buying "Queen" blank CDs elsewhere, it's not the same argument. The Top 100 Bootlegs are for charity - on the Official Download Shop page, link, it says: "Queen donate any profit they make from this to the Mercury Phoenix Trust and EMI will match this donation pound for pound. " I'm guessing that you are thinking of the Queen + Paul Rogers Europe Live official downloads (since you mention blank cd's), but in my previous post I was referring to the Top 100 Bootlegs project, some of which are available to download for free from QueenZone. So again, please, what is the difference between downloading a free copy of Live Aid and a free copy of any of The Top 100 Bootlegs? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it's OK to download Live Aid illegally - I'm actually pointing out that there's so much hypocrisy in here of people criticising one thing whilst essentially doing the same thing themselves. |

Nice to see that through all the variables, my level of popularity is a constant. I concede the point about the top 100 bootlegs being for charity, and confirm I must have been thinking of the Europe 2005 downloads. So, I need another point. How about this one, previously unheard in these 7 pages....the top 100 bootlegs are in INFERIOR quality to the downloads that occasionally pop up here. On the other hand, the Live Aid DVD is SUPERIOR to any possible download or VHS copy, both in video and sound quality. Coincidentally, this is also an argument for shelling out on the DVD if only for the Queen content. Moving on, someone said that Zeppelin were rubbish on the day. Well, that person didn't notice that Zeppelin were missing from the sample list I gave, due to their performance not appearing on the DVD. Had I included Zep on the list, someone would have jumped down my throat pointing this out. Finally, notwithstanding the fact that most responses to the SAMPLE list did acknowledge somebody that each poster thought was OK, which sort of supports the point I was making, obviously too subtly, that the DVD should have something else of interest to most Queen fans who actually listen to other music given the breadth of talent on show. Finally, how many times has the original poster posted in this thread that they want no more to do with it? Either contribute or don't open the thread... |
