Songlist

Is anyone here who has the complete songlist of this concert? Melly42 09:57, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

FOX

Who wanted to get the early intro jab at FOX in there?? Come on speak up.

Thank you

A huge thank you to whoever wrote this page ... EmjayE2 (talk) 14:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

U2

Can anybody explain U2 not taking part? They were rumoured, if not confirmed, to be in the line up originally and it was the sort of 'cause' you would have expected them to support. Throughout the day the crowd chanted "How long to sing this song", lyrics from U2's song 40. Eventually compere Lenny Henry had to tell everyone that they definitely wouldn't be there!

Just interested, that's all. Roybus (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

Why is there an entire article on a single concert?203.184.41.226 (talk) 09:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy

This article has inaccuracies (especially about the origins of the concert which came after, and out of, years of anti-apartheid activity and concerts) including that the concert was in fact funded by the Anti-Apartheid Movement (UK).

Order of apearance is wrong

Adding "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" to the Resonant Song List?

Hi, just going off of the article, and a pre-familiarity with Tracey Chapman's music, shouldn't the list of "political songs which received resonance" include Talkin' Bout a Revolution, since she sang it when this launched her career. Or it's also possible that the list only includes the planned song list? Because I believe she was only supposed to perform Fast Car and then TBAR was the impromptu choice when Stevie Wonder walked out. 72.190.201.230 (talk) 17:39, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
