Not exactly he got slammed for only performing his new single. One of those "is that it?" moments.101Walterton wrote: ↑18 Jan 2019, 9:37pmYeah I always felt several of artists used Live Aid for their own agenda. Was it Adam Ant that got slammed for promoting his new single?

Re: Woodstock vs Live Aid Poll
To be fair he only got one song and was in need of a hit, it made sense to play his new single. I thought it was a decent enough song.101Walterton wrote: ↑19 Jan 2019, 6:24pmThanks I knew it was something like that when everyone else playing greatest hits.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jan 2019, 3:58amNot exactly he got slammed for only performing his new single.

The Boomtown Rats played the brilliant but quite obscure "Drag Me Down", and the Style Council threw a couple of non hits in their set. Both just had the advantage of a longer set. And didn't U2 play that dreadful ten minute version of "Bad", which was an album track.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Woodstock vs Live Aid Poll
"Drag Me Down"was a single released the year before. I agree about it being brilliant. U2 had released an EP called "wide Awake in America" about two months before Live Aid and "Bad" was its lead off track.Heston wrote: ↑21 Jan 2019, 3:43pmTo be fair he only got one song and was in need of a hit, it made sense to play his new single.

With Adam I think the disappointment wasn't that single was any good but that he didn't get to play more. After all the hits he had previously.
