What was the first Live Aid Concert ever held? If you think that it was Live Aid in 1985, this was not the first rock concert to raise funds for people in need. The honor of being the first concert ever goes to the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, which was organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar. And, although it was the first, it cannot be called the biggest concert to be performed after the 1985 concert.

The Live Aid Concert, held simultaneously at Philadelphia's RFK Stadium and London's Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985, was the biggest by far at that time. The brainchild of Boomtown Rats' singer Bob Geldoff, it was designed to raise money to help African famine victims. Its logo / slogan, "Feed the World," came from "Do They Know It's Christmas," the 1984 song – performed by an all-star, mostly English lineup – that in turn inspired the concert, "We Are the World."
