Sunday Bloody Sunday...
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes, make them go away
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long
How long?
Tonight we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
And bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up
Against the wall!
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
And the battles just begun
There's many lost
But tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long
How long?
Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Wipe the tears of your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe bloodshot eyes
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and Tv is reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On a sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday

Há 42 anos um Domingo Sangrento abalou uma ilha inteira...
- John (Jackie) Duddy. Shot in the chest in the car park of Rossville flats. Four witnesses stated Duddy was unarmed and running away from the paratroopers when he was killed. Three of them saw a soldier take deliberate aim at the youth as he ran. He is the uncle of the Irish boxer John Duddy.
- Patrick Joseph Doherty. Shot from behind while attempting to crawl to safety in the forecourt of Rossville flats. Doherty was the subject of a series of photographs, taken before and after he died by French journalist Gilles Peress. Despite testimony from "Soldier F" that he had fired at a man holding and firing a pistol, Widgery acknowledged that the photographs showed Doherty was unarmed, and that forensic tests on his hands for gunshot residue proved negative.
- Bernard McGuigan. Shot in the back of the head when he went to help Patrick Doherty. He had been waving a white handkerchief at the soldiers to indicate his peaceful intentions.
- Hugh Pius Gilmour. Shot through his right elbow, the bullet then entering his chest as he ran from the paratroopers on Rossville Street. Widgery acknowledged that a photograph taken seconds after Gilmour was hit corroborated witness reports that he was unarmed, and that tests for gunshot residue were negative.
- Kevin McElhinney. Shot from behind while attempting to crawl to safety at the front entrance of the Rossville Flats. Two witnesses stated McElhinney was unarmed.
- Michael Gerald Kelly. Shot in the stomach while standing near the rubble barricade in front of Rossville Flats. Widgery accepted that Kelly was unarmed.
- John Pius Young. Shot in the head while standing at the rubble barricade. Two witnesses stated Young was unarmed.
- William Noel Nash. Shot in the chest near the barricade. Witnesses stated Nash was unarmed and going to the aid of another when killed.
- Michael M. McDaid. Shot in the face at the barricade as he was walking away from the paratroopers. The trajectory of the bullet indicated he could have been killed by soldiers positioned on the Derry Walls.
- James Joseph Wray. Wounded then shot again at close range while lying on the ground. Witnesses who were not called to the Widgery Tribunal stated that Wray was calling out that he could not move his legs before he was shot the second time.
- Gerald Donaghey. Shot in the stomach while attempting to run to safety between Glenfada Park and Abbey Park. Donaghey was brought to a nearby house by bystanders where he was examined by a doctor. His pockets were turned out in an effort to identify him. A later police photograph of Donaghey's corpse showed nail bombs in his pockets. Neither those who searched his pockets in the house nor the British army medical officer (Soldier 138) who pronounced him dead shortly afterwards say they saw any bombs. Donaghey had been a member of Fianna Éireann, an IRA-linked Republican youth movement. Paddy Ward, a police informer who gave evidence at the Saville Inquiry, claimed that he had given two nail bombs to Donaghey several hours before he was shot dead.
- Gerard (James) McKinney. Shot just after Gerald Donaghey. Witnesses stated that McKinney had been running behind Donaghey, and he stopped and held up his arms, shouting "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!", when he saw Donaghey fall. He was then shot in the chest.
- William Anthony McKinney. Shot from behind as he attempted to aid Gerald McKinney (no relation). He had left cover to try to help Gerald.
- John Johnston. Shot in the leg and left shoulder on William Street 15 minutes before the rest of the shooting started. Johnston was not on the march, but on his way to visit a friend in Glenfada Park. He died 4½ months later; his death has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. He was the only one not to die immediately or soon after being shot.

Live Aid, o maior concerto de sempre, foi há 27 anos
Nenhum concerto antes havia reunido tantos artistas famosos do passado e do presente (cujos nomes estão listados abaixo). Entretanto, à última hora, alguns músicos já anunciados acabaram não aparecendo, como Tears For Fears, Julian Lennon e Cat Stevens, enquanto Prince mandou em seu lugar um videoclipe da canção "4 The Tears In Your Eyes". Stevens compôs uma canção especialmente para o evento, que nunca chegou a apresentar - se o tivesse feito, seria seu primeiro concerto público após sua conversão ao islamismo. o Deep Purple também deveria se reunir para o evento, mas Ritchie Blackmore recusou-se a participar.
Mick Jagger pretendia originalmente se apresentar nos EUA num dueto intercontinental com David Bowie em Londres, mas problemas de sincronismo impossibilitaram a tarefa. Ao invés disso, Jagger e Bowie criaram um videoclipe da canção que apresentariam juntos, uma versão de "Dancing In The Street". Jagger ainda se apresentou com Tina Turner na seção estadunidense do concerto.
Ambos os eventos principais do concerto terminaram com seus respectivos hinos anti-fome, o "Do They Know It's Christmas?" da Band Aid no Reino Unido e "We Are The World" do USA For Africa fechando o show nos EUA.
Desde então vários discos e vídeos piratas com os concertos do Live Aid têm circulado livremente. O evento nunca foi planejado para ser lançado comercialmente, mas em novembro de 2004 a Warner Music Group lançou um DVD quádruplo do concerto para tentar dar um fim à pirataria.
Os Queen abriram a sua apresentação com "Bohemian Rapsody", sob intensa ovação, e os maneirismos do vocalista Freddie Mercury levaram toda a plateia no Wembley a bater palmas em uníssono durante "Radio Ga Ga" e a cantar juntos, verso por verso, "We Will Rock You" e "We Are The Champions". A apresentação da banda acabaria sendo eleita num inquérito como o "Melhor Show Ao Vivo" já realizado.
