40 years ago... LIVE AID was a two-venue benefit concert (London and Philadelphia) and music-based fundraising initiative held on Saturday 13 July 1985.

There's also intense, almost sporting competition here. The Chopin Competition finals are currently underway; many consider it the most prestigious competition for young pianists in the world. I highly recommend it; in my opinion, the excitement is greater than at Eurovision. LOL
