Wembley Stadium on 11th June 1988 was the venue for a unique gathering of musicians and performers from all over the world who under the banner of Artists Against Apartheid paid tribute to Nelson Mandela for his 70th Birthday. An audience estimated to be well over half a billion people in some 63 countries participated in an event with a simple compelling message: "Free Nelson Mandela". This VHS covers the highlights of that day including two tracks by Dire Straits and Eric Clapton. Dire Straits appeared as the closing act of that unforgettable day with Eric Clapton on second guitar. Until today, it was probably the most important and powerful concert in the Dire Straits history

If you have never listened to or watched this concert.. please do  It is fabulous!

Prince - 'Purple Rain' (1984)   Just dropped this on the turntable....need some cleaning music. *@nyadrn ....I agree. The Stones are one of the greatest bands ever. Will never forget the first time I saw them live. Much to my mother's dismay, my aunt took when I was 12 complete with a backstage tour to meet my cousin  (for the first time, his first time in the states) and the band. Just one of the those days you never forget. Posted by SandeRLyons
