Live Aid '85 — London & Philadelphia
Coming soonArchive note
Japanese promotional poster for the July 13, 1985 Live Aid benefit concert, presenting the event as a watershed moment in global music history. The tagline reads: "The day that changed the world, the power of music." Black-and-white documentary photography of performance details—microphone mesh, guitar fretboard, performer's face—anchors this as a document of a real historical moment, though rendered here in the archive's speculative register. For collectors tracking how Live Aid was marketed across territories and how the event became mythologized in subsequent decades.
