re: Would something like “Live Aid” be as great today?

No, because Most of the acts were rock bands which don’t really exist today and today’s musical talent isn’t there.
Electronic music, rap, and today’s R&B is complete garbage.

Random thought here, did Live Aid actually do anything for the famine in Africa?

Sure it could. Didn’t JJ Watt raise like $100MM for Harvey by just calling up some friends?
The right cause and it could work.

By the time their agents, publicity people, directors, producers, lighting designers, audio engineers, and nutritionists all went to battle to get exactly what their clients consider necessary, their wouldn't be enough music left over for the lawyers to quibble about rights to it.
Now, multiply that by 100 artists.

Just off the top, it can never happen again.
What you saw in those days were general admission shows with no seats on the floor. Due to legal reasons now, stadiums & arenas will not allow that many people on the floor with no barriers. Now you would see everyone holding up a cell phone.
Back then when you would go to a rock concert there were no assigned seats & the floors had no seats. You just had to get there early to get a good spot on the floor as close to the stage as you could or the closest seat on the side if you wanted to sit down. You had a to watch every opening act. It was greatness.
Don't even get me started on how Ticketmaster & Live Nation have changed everything.

Not to mention how cheap the tickets were in those days.

Side note: I watched Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time this weekend, it’s a very good movie. Some of the story is not factually correct, but I think it did a decent job staying to the overall story of Queen.

Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.
Arthur Brooks, the author of a book on donors to charity, “Who Really Cares,” cites data that households headed by conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than households headed by liberals. A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals.

There is a reason there is still songs sung about trying to relive that era.
