Sportaid 1988

Postby schwenko » Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:14 pm

Anybody with any memories of this Bob Geldorf organized event?

The reason I ask is because I was watching the Heaven 17 DVD (Greatest Hits cd/dvd) and there is a video of "Train of Love in Motion" which seems to be a live performance. In the background is a banner for Sportaid 88.

I know there were organized running races as part of this benefit, but I'm wondering if there was a concert or series of concerts.

Anybody with more info?

Wasn't there a concert? I don't quite remember....

I do know that Status Quo re-recorded 'Rockin' All Over The World' and released it as 'Runnin' All Over The World'. I've got the CD single to that one...

Tears For Fears also did 'Everybody Wants To Run The World' but to this day, I don't remember ever hearing it....
