Feeling old yet?
Here’s my daily effort to make us all feel ancient.
It was 24 years ago today that the eyes of the music world were focused on Philadelphia and London for the Live Aid concert to battle conditions in Africa.
How long ago was that? The venue is no longer there. That’s right. They tore down JFK Stadium years ago to make way for what was the then the Core States Center, which then became the First Union Center, and which today is the Wachovia Center.
The concert was split between Philly and Wembley Stadium in London. Phil Collins actually played in London, then flew on the Concorde across the Atlantic to appear in Philly.
Where have you gone, Bob Geldof?
