Bob Geldof on the Greatest Day of His Life

Bob Geldof sits for an interview with filmmaker Errol Morris and talks through the day he calls the best of his life: stepping onto the Wembley Stadium stage for Live Aid in 1985. He traces the chain of events that got him there, starting with the Band Aid single he organized to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia, a crisis that had been unfolding since 1983. Geldof describes the scale of what he and Midge Ure pulled together, coaxing pop stars into a studio and then into a global broadcast, and the disbelief of watching it actually work. Morris keeps the camera close and the questions simple, letting Geldof's own account carry the film rather than adding narration or archival concert footage. It plays as a short character study of a moment rather than a full history of Live Aid, focused entirely on what that single day meant to the man who made it happen.
