For the first time in 4K quality:

Thank you for posting. Stunning quality. I can even see Micks shoes are Reebok!

Looks so much better now, quite an improvement. Love the colours from the lights showing in the night in HD, and a great song from those two giants.

Unfortunately not the original audio but the 7" version overdubbed.

Here is the HD version (1080p) with the correct audio track (version with no sax). This was the audio of the original video as it was played at Live Aid and later on until somewhen not so long ago, when they put a HD version on YouTube and changed the audio to the 7" single version. I muxed the HD version video with the correct original audio:

Thanks a lot WAN!

As far as I recall (and I remember this very well as I prefer the version without the horns) they changed the version very soon after Live Aid and used the one with brass for all subsequent promo video airings. In my opinion the Live Aid version is a one off.

Thanks WAN for your work with the original audio Live Aid version + HD video.
I remember watching this live and thinking it was a fantastic surprise that no one was expecting. I was amazed.
