Without any doubt the mid 80s were not good years for the stones... for live aid was impossible to have the band together, but Mick, Keith and Ronnie were there

Here the videos of that memorable day

I wonder how Mick, Keith and Ronnie were backstage with one another. I assume Ronnie was fine with both, but Mick and Keith were probably very cool to cold to one another.

You took a good decision mojoman

I was recording the show from TV to Beta cassettes, at the end I was not completely disappointed but I liked more Madonna that all of the above

I never in my life played those tapes

The HOTTEST OUTDOOR SHOW I HAVE EVER BEEN TO...glad I went...never been to anything close to that magnitude since.

All those dopey festival of the 90's aside, couldn't even compare...

Most welcome quote of the day:
Jack Nicholson: We're gonna set the hoses on ya...

Then the fire dept started to spray us all down to cool us off with huge blasts of water...
