Amazon UK does include the track listing of the dvd box set (I couldn't find it in amazon.com)

Ok, I had already read about Led Z. missing in the dvd but... Ouch! there is no Hold Me Now/Thompson Twins included!! Just Revolution, by T.Twins (one of may fave bands from the 80s) with Madonna and N.Rodgers.

And lot of songs!! I read some tapes were destroyed (?) or bands like LEd Z didn't permit to show their footages. Anyway, I'm waiting for my dvd, i think is a good doc from the 80s that is worth it

it's the audio portion (The 18th disc is artwork for the cd set), But still it's more complete than the 4 DVD set.

I listened to disc 7-8-9 last night and I am amazed at the quality!!!

ps-The near complete broadcast is available on DVD, but I have yet to locate it.

I just want to see Queen do Radio Gaga, is that on there???

I was just 7 when Live Aid came to Philly, I would have given my life to have seen that.

It is!!! Queen's performance rocked!!!

I finally got my pack last night!!! Oh is huge!!! When they sing Do they know is Christmas, is so emotional...
Sound (and even image) is better from the UK shows, the US shows are not so well recorded.

Madonna was not so good. Bowie was great, as Queen and Sting. Dire Strait was cool.
Lot of material I still have to watch!!!!

I liked Madonna's old school performance. She actually sang the song while she danced!
I also loved seeing Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin with Hall And Oats and singing back up for Jagger.
