The Live Aid extravaganza unfolded as a colossal satellite-linked broadcast, reaching a staggering estimated audience of 1.9 billion people across 150 nations. Astonishingly, this turnout constituted nearly 40 percent of the world's population at that time.

Contained within these pages are the distinctive autographs of every musician who graced the stage in Philadelphia that day, with the sole exception of Teddy Pendergrass. Additionally, it proudly features signatures from renowned artists who played a pivotal role in the event but did not have their photos featured in the program.

Moreover, the program preserves the signatures of George Thorogood, Albert Collins, Bo Diddley, who performed together and signed the program as a trio. Phil Collins stands out as the sole artist to perform at both the London and Philadelphia sites, delivering a remarkable cross-continental performance.

Graham Nash's dual signatures, one on the booklet cover and another on the Crosby, Stills & Nash page, add a unique touch to this collection.

Bill Graham, the legendary manager of The Rolling Stones, was entrusted with overseeing the entertainment at the U.S. site and signed this program along with several other producers. The Mayor of Philadelphia, Wilson Goode, joined as an honorary guest and also left his signature.

This exceptional compilation serves as a vivid and historically precise record of the iconic Live Aid global event from the U.S. concert site. The unparalleled unity of 150 nations in support of a humanitarian cause, combined with the presence of renowned rock, pop, and sports luminaries, renders the 1985 Live Aid a momentous chapter in history.

The signatures within this program were meticulously collected at the event by a dedicated volunteer who was part of the tech team in the lead-up to the event. The consignor traveled extensively at her own expense afterward to obtain the additional signatures that were not collected that day. Undoubtedly, this collection will continue to appreciate in value as many of the celebrated signatories have since passed, making it a priceless piece of history and a tribute to the enduring legacy of Live Aid.
