As its the anniversary today, I was thinking, since the DVDs were released 10 odd years ago, has much footage appeared from anywhere that wasn't know of when the DVDs were made?
Just re watched the 2 part doc from 10 years ago, along with my off air recording, and it strikes me there was a fair bit of 16mm being shot at the time, and in this world of HD a blue ray or something might be great if the powers that be were interested.

I don't think there will be anything else officially released. There is a lot of Live Aid material that was thought lost.
There is a collectors' market DVD set about (which is interesting, because the vendor gives money to the Live Aid charity!), but I can't put details on here due to Forum rules.

Matt So true Matthew, in the documentary - "Food, Trucks and Rock And Roll" there's heaps of excellent footage that's clearly from a film crew (and very close to the stage too). I would have thought that footage would have been taken of all the main bands - certainly in Wembley. It would be nice to see it again.

If any footage were to come to light, I would have thought it would be of The Who as the world wide satellite link went down during "Won't Get Fooled Again". Instead, we got shots of Americans booing on TV. I've never seen the complete set. Does anyone know if it exists in full somewhere?

Does anyone know if George Thorogood & the Destroyers set exists complete? IIRC they were 1/2 way through when the BBC went over to the states first time

There were 16mm clips of The Who within the "Food, Trucks and Rock And Roll" - For the record, they played "My Generation", "Pinball Wizard" "Love Reign O'er Me" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" (I was there!). While we lost most of the first two songs I'm wondering if the radio coverage was affected? It would be nice to glue together the performance in some way to make it complete!

Ah, so they did play Pinball Wizard!! That's the first time I've had it confirmed (not that I've looked that hard, I've not even thought about it for years.)
The UK radio had the same cuts as the TV coverage. I remember afterwards someone telling me (incorrectly, obviously) that they'd deliberately cut the feed so only those in the stadium could hear Pinball Wizard. With no world wide web there was no way to check up on such rumours though.
Also interesting to see that MTV managed to show the closing moments of Pinball Wizard. I don't remember the BBC managing to do that. The Beeb never even told us they'd played the song! In fact I seem to remember a documentary shown within the last 10-15 years giving the impression the stadium was in darkness and that no unseen songs were played!
It sounds like the US radio rigged up their own microphone, so they're not getting their sound from the desk - that's why the sound quality isn't as good for that part. If the problem was with the satellite feed how were US radio receiving that alternate audio feed?

Even the MTV hosts tells the audience "You're not missing anything" - whoops, lets go back to Wembley where The Who are finishing Pinball Wizard!

Stadium definitely wasn't in darkness. By the time the Who came on I had worked my way up nearer to the front of the audience.
I can't put my finger on the link but I do recall reading many years ago that the video recording was intact and it was the satellite uplink that went astray. The official DVD has the Who set doesn't it?
