Summary: 

I suspect that the entire event was videotaped, and that large
portions of the concert(s) will be available for sale--more money
for Live Aid.  I also suspect that such recordings would be
best-sellers.

Although Led Zeppelin and The Who didn't have the quite the energy I'd
hoped for, they were at least adequate.   Madonna was abysmal; the Black
Sabbath set was a nice piece of nostalgia, although I thought it was too
early in the day for heavy metal.  The Pretenders were pretty good; so was
Tom Petty.  Joan Baez, Dylan, and CSN&Y were poignant.  The Turner-Jagger
collaboration was fun, as was the Collins-Sting bit.  Belafonte looked
disoriented during the finale; and Patti Labelle took the Lauper part of
the vocal and overdid it.  MTV's coverage was idiotic;  they should have
just turned the cameras on the stage and *left them there*, running
commercials during set changes.
