Specialist note

To some people's bewilderment ageing rockers Status Quo were chosen as the opening act at Live Aid. Yet, their opening song choice proved to be genius, 'Rockin' All Over The World' went down a storm with the crowd and set the tone for what was to follow, the definitive 'Global Jukebox'.
