Live Aid was a multi-venue rock concert held on 13 July 1985 organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. It took place simultaneously in London at Wembley Stadium and in Philadelphia at JFK Stadium. It was broadcast live on television in more than 60 countries. The 4 disc DVD runs approximately 10 hours (from a total of 16). The film is primarily sourced from the BBC archives and was supplemented by B-roll and alternate camera footage supplied by MTV.

Eric Clapton performed at the Philadelphia concert. "White Room," "She’s Waiting" and "Layla" are included on Disc 3.
