About the DVD
This is a promotional copy of the TV documentary called The Song That Rocked the World, which marked the 20th anniversary of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

On 23 October 1984, Bob Geldof turned on the BBC news and was horrified by a groundbreaking report by Michael Buerk from famine struck Ethiopia. He got on the phone to his friend Midge Ure and proposed that they write a charity song - Band Aid was born.

In the documentary, Midge Ure takes viewers back to that extraordinary day on 25 November 1984 at Sarm Studios in Notting Hill when 36 musicians gathered together in one studio. He talks to the original stars in the line-up including Bono, Sting, Boy George, Phil Collins, Simon Le Bon, Tony Hadley and Paul Young about turning the vision into a reality. Midge also chats to Bob Geldof about how they composed the song together.

The programme includes behind-the-scenes archive material from the day of the recording and features the masters and original demo of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" recorded with Sting in Midge Ure's studio.
