Ten years ago this week, BBC Television presented the most memorable rock concert ever. Live Aid was the world's biggest single fundraising event, raising over £40 million for famine relief in Africa, and it is still the biggest non-sporting event ever televised, seen by over one and a half billion people in 170 countries.
Live Aid saw The Who reform for the day, Paul McCartney sing solo, U2 perform at Wembley and Mick Jagger and Tina Turner in Philadelphia, with Phil Collins playing on both sides of the Atlantic. Tonight - for the first time since 1985 - you can relive the highlights of this spectacular concert.
Bob Geldof returns to Ethiopia and presents short reports throughout the evening which give a refreshingly new perspective on a country that has seen so much tragedy in the last 10 years. See today's choices.
6.00-7.00 More than 16 hours of rock music from both sides of the Atlantic started with Status Quo Rockin' all over the World, followed by the Style Council, the Boomtown Rats, Adam Ant, INXS, Ultravox and Spandau Ballet.
In his first report, Bob Geldof returns to Korem in Ethiopia, where Michael Buerk's harrowing news report focused the world's attention on the famine, and finds a thriving market town.
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure explain how the Band Aid song led to Live Aid and Paul McCartney admits to not being able to say no to Geldof.
7.00-8.30 Sting, Phil Collins, Spandau Ballet, Elvis Costello, Sade, BB King, Nik Kershaw, Bryan Ferry, Howard Jones, Paul Young and Alison Moyet take the stage.
Bob Geldof reports from Ethiopia's central highlands where people are, quite literally, living on the edge.

9.30-10.30 "Wembley, will you please welcome America to Live Aid Day!" were Bob Geldof's words which introduced the Philadelphia half of the concert to the rest of the world. Part two of the Live Aid 10th Anniversary continues with music from U2, Sting, Dire Straits, Bryan Adams, the Beach Boys and George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
In Ethiopia, Geldof explains why Band Aid put such a priority on road building, and finds computers and satellites are now being used to predict the likelihood of another famine.
Griff Rhys-Jones and Mel Smith complain about the noise, and two young women remember literally getting carried away by Bono.
10.30-11.30 Queen are on stage at Wembley, Mick Jagger and David Bowie are Dancing in the Street, Bowie performs Rebel, Rebel and Heroes; and there's more music from Simple Minds, the Cars and the Pretenders in Philadelphia.
Bob Geldof finds a Band Aid project which has brought clean water and new life to a whole community.
11.30-12.30am The Who are on stage for their last show. Plus Paul McCartney, Elton John with George Michael and Kiki Dee, the Cars, Madonna, and the UK finale, Do They Know It's Christmas?
Bob Geldof visits an orphanage built from Band Aid funds and finds real life Chariots of Fire.
Over ten hours into the concert and the gremlins are out. A major electrical failure blacks out Wembley and silences The Who. Paul McCartney copes without a microphone and Billy Connolly tries to talk to Phil Collins on board Concorde...
12.30-1.35am Phil Collins arrives in Philadelphia and plays for Live Aid a second time. Plus performances from Mick Jagger and Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran, the Thompson Twins, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Hall and Oates, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and the US finale, We Are the World.
