Episode 35: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 35 (Live Aid - Philadelphia)
Welcome back to the 80s! Or, more specifically, July 13, 1985. We're excited to bring you our 40th Anniversary tribute to one of the greatest music events of all time, Live Aid, the benefit concerts for African famine relief held at London's Wembley Stadium, and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. In this episode we will be spotlighting the Philadelphia show. Wherever possible, we used the live recordings from that day. In some cases though, the sound quality of various songs wasn’t the best, or there wasn't a recording to use. So, we used an album track instead. We also broke slightly from format and used tracks that weren’t originally from the 80s, but were performed in “The City of Brotherly Love” that day.A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky.Songs chosen by both of us, track listing coming soon.Listen, enjoy, share, follow. And thanks for keeping 80s music alive!BB & DD
