 | I saw his name on the DVD cover, but there was no mention of his name when I looked at the wikipedia page for Live Aid. Does anyone know if he played and if so what songs? |

 | No he did not, there was a lot of trouble about this.
He joined the USA for Africa song "We are the world" the same year.
He also was quite out of style at this time after Hearts And Bones, his first album without Gold-status.
He shared this situation with Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Leonard Cohen and had to sing here with Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Cindy Lauper, Kim Carnes and others meanwhile out of style.
Only Dylan, Springsteen or Wonder survived, and these are guys Simon would like to be compared with. |

 | "I rang Paul Simon, whom I´d met and had an enjoyable argument with before. He said yes. Better than that, he said he´d try to persuade Dylan and maybe the two of them would do something together . . . Paul Simon rang. He was being messed about and he was upset. Every time he phoned anyone over there to get things organized he met a blank wall. He thought the whole thing was a mess. He felt that people were being deliberately obstructive to him and, as he and Bill Graham don´t get on, had decided to pull out . . . I originally thought we could end with Paul Simon´s Bridge Over Troubled Water and Dylan´s The Times They Are A-Changin´ and then go on to Blowin´ In The Wind. Now Paul was out and Bob was in. Win some, lose some."
