Bob Geldof sang PLU last night at The Rainforest Fund benefit show in NYC

Post by docinwestchester »

Starts at 8:27 and is abruptly cut off 20 seconds later. I can't find a full version on YouTube.

Whilst on the subject of Sir Bob, the Wiki notes that he has previously performed "Oliver's Army" live, but has no further detail.

This article in Hot Press from 2016 on a dispute around royalties, reports that Geldof has previously claimed that the Boomtown Rats' hit "I Don't Like Mondays" was " strongly influenced by Elvis Costello’s ’Oliver’s Army’ and Eric Clapton’s hit recording of the Bob Marley song ‘I Shot the Sheriff’."

Does anyone know any more of Sir Bob singing "Oliver's Army"?
