Who saw it live? Or who watched any of the performances on youtube afterward?
The Queen set was pretty fire. Freddie was singing with a cold, and you could hear some cracks in the voice and not hitting some of the high notes, but damn his voice when he's sick is still amazing.

just imagine if they'd just nuked africa back then instead.
given the same adverts of starving marvins have been on TV since the 60s, and a trillion or more has been funneled into 'aid' there, with no end of this supposed perpetual starvation, and the population quadrupling since then, it seems that more good would have been done if they'd just ended the continent at that point.

I think music in general was so much better around the 80s to 90s. There were so many different genres all getting airplay and all of them were actual musicians who could play instruments and sing (milli vanilli excepted)
Now the "artists" are just an image, they can't sing, are always autotuned,, don't write their own music, don't play instruments, sample all the shit from the 80s and 90s that was good... There's a small number of singers only (adele, ex.) who can sing, but that's about it. No more talented bands and there's no more eclectic feel to the genres and what's popular.

Okay beatles are decent but other than that rock sucks. Give those bands female singers and the quality would have shot up, or remove the drummers and singers entirely and likewise the quality of the music would improve dramatically.

TVC15 wasn't a B-side. It was ok Station to Station. B-sides are literally the "b" side to a single, usually a song that didn't make the album.

The whole thing did more harm than good, and just exacerbated the problem. Unless you were in on it and made millions from it.
