Among the delights featured on this disc are Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys kicking things off in Philly with a short set of sunshine classics then its back to London where Sting and Dire Straits want their MTV. This disc also features the Queen set which, for many people, was the defining performance of the day. Also on this disc is the CBC film on the Ethiopian famine. An uncompromising view of the reality behind the event using The Cars 'Drive' to spectacularly unsentimental effect. All money paid to hire this disc goes to UNICEF.
