The biggest pop stars of 1984 walked into a studio at 8am—most were still drunk from the night before.
A 30-minute video featuring documentary footage shot at the November 1984 recording session of Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'. It includes interviews with the charity supergroup's recording artists and musicians, as well as the completed promotional video.
Production
Bob Geldof's unhinged 24-hour organizing miracle.
Practical Effects
Genuine documentary chaos—no script, just vibes.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Most artists thought they were recording the chorus; nobody told them they'd also sing the line 'Tonight thank God it's them instead of you.' Awkward.
This invented the charity supergroup template that Live Aid, USA for Africa, and every disaster-relief single since has copied—sometimes badly.

My Love George Michael has the best both, singing and talking voice. His talking is like music to me. I never get tired listening to him. He's always in my heart and with me. XO
