On July 13, 1985, 160,000 people packed John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia to witness what went down in history as the largest and most important festival in music history: Live Aid .
35 years later, artists and music lovers still talk about the event, as Tony Iommi recently recalled the brief and surreal Black Sabbath at the event Queen guitarist Brian May , who stated he wants the festival back to draw the world's attention to climate change . It's worth remembering that in 1985, the festival was created to raise funds to combat famine in Ethiopia.
