Live Aid will be held a JFK stadium in Philadelphia and a Webley (sp?)
stadium in England.  I can only speak for Philly (since it is in my
backyard), but here is a partial list.  The complete list is something like
40 acts at 20 minutes apiece.  I think the equipment trucks alone will take
up half of downtown Philly.  Tickets started at $35 and went on sale at a
moments notice.  They sold out in 5 hours and scalpers are getting near $100
already.  Well here goes a list.  Will someone with more info fill it in.  I
may have confused a few performers.  There is also a concert on July 4 in
Philly with Eric Clapton and Joan Jett.  Then there is some benefit for the
victims of the MOVE incident with a bunch of named people (Bill Cosby and
David Brenner).  I think I am already confused.  Gee, Philadelphia is going
to be a hot place to be for the next few weeks.


Cyndi Lauper
The Hooters
David Bowie
Hall and Oates
Ashford and Simpson
Bryan Adams
