'The Day Rock and Roll Changed the World'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/thelive8event/liveaid/history.shtml

The Boomtown Rats were the third band to appear after Status Quo and The Style Council. Apparently they were due to appear further down the bill, but Geldof switched the order so they could perform to Prince Charles & Princess Diana! They played I Don't Like Mondays, Rat Trap (which was plauged by sound issues) and Drag Me Down. Geldof provided one of the most memorable moments of the whole day with his pause midway through Mondays on the completion of the line "The lesson today is how to die".
