Never heard of Status Quo.

Thing i remember the most was Weird Al performing and blowing everyone off the stage even Queen. Wish that was included in his biopic 🥸🥸

7/15 mostly guesses. I wasn't there. Seen some of it on tv. They had a Led Zeppelin reunion of the surviving members. The Who played at Live Aid too. Well, I think I'm gonna go have some Kool-Aid. "Hey Kool-Aid!!!!"

"You got 6 out of 15. Well... There's always Live 8 to look forward to, I guess..."

In regards to question 1, who knew Dolly Parton played at Live Aid?

7 out of 15. Then again, I was 4 in 1985 and everything was a blur until I turned 6.

6 must have been when you got off your Sit & Spin.

9/15 I knew of four that played there and two that didn't play there. The rest were guesses.

Does it not say. Which stadium they played at or both. But not one question mentioned that. Only if they played in live aid.

9/15 yikes! 🤦‍♀️ I thought I would do way better since I was a teenager in the 80s, but in all fairness the concert was over 16 hours long, and I didn't watch the whole thing...only the musicians I liked.☺️

One better than me.😁

😄 Some of the groups they mentioned in the quiz I really didn't care for. I think the 70s and the 80s were the last great decades. ☺️

I couldn't agree with you more. The late 70's were my teen years. After the 80's I haven't been able to relate to the 90's and beyond. 📻🎧

I'm the same way, once the 90s hit, it seemed like such a big change with everything, and then time just speeded up.🙄

9/15. so-so. I remember watching it on MTV. All day long concert, and Phil Collins flew on a Concord jet from London to Philadelphia in a few hours and preformed on stage at both locations. I think.

Whenever I hear that song, I think of the 80s show, Miami Vice. They played that song quite a bit in the show along with other cool music. That was one cool show. 😎 🚘🛥🌊

That was so cool.
