How One Rock Show Raised More Than Live Aid!

20 Jul 2025 / 35:16

A £190 million charity concert, 68 songs, two supergroups, and a few surprise voices… but was it actually any good? This week on Listener Land, we break down the biggest charity gig since Live Aid, from standout performances (Steven Tyler! Ronnie Wood! Yungblud?!) to the sheer scale of money raised. With Ozzy Osbourne at the centre, we ask whether this is the new blueprint for farewell shows — and why Aerosmith might be next. Also in the episode: • Why Axl Rose’s mic might’ve been better off muted • Is Ozzy bigger than Sabbath? • Why Sharon might be the MVP of the whole event • Our favourite all-time music duets • And some questionable “tone advice” from Joe Bonamassa 00:00 – The 8-Inch Turd Opener (Sorry) 00:42 – What Actually Happened at the Sabbath Finale? 03:50 – Who Played, and Who Surprised Us 04:40 – How Did They Raise £190 Million? 06:00 – Are These Super Concerts the Future? 13:00 – The Best & Worst Covers from the Night 16:00 – Is Ozzy Bigger Than the Band That Made Him? 24:15 – Joe Bonamassa’s “Buy an Amp” Tone Advice 25:00 – Kate Bush Cabaret & That Head Mic Fact 28:00 – Our Favourite Duets of All Time 32:00 – How Long Do Bands Actually Last? #ListenerLandPodcast #CharityGig #LiveAid #OzzyOsbourne #RockLegends #MusicPodcast #StevenTyler #Yungblud #AxlRose #KateBush #JoeBonamassa #MusicNews #FarewellConcert #comedy #funny #interview #podcast
