« ‘Listen Like Thieves’ live on Old Grey Whistle Test, UK, 1986 | ‘Summer XS’ Wembley Stadium – 19 years ago today! »
Oz For Africa was held on the 13th July 1985 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. It was Australia's contribution to Live Aid to raise money for famine relief in Africa. The concert feaured 17 bands who helped raise $10 million through Australia.
The concert began twelve hours before the Wembley Stadium, London concert, so the Australian concert was actually the first Live Aid concert held.
The four-hour concert was broadcast around Australia, with some INXS songs also broadcast overseas.
Michael Hutchence with INXS performed 5 songs, choosing to preview some new songs from their upcoming album 'Listen Like Thieves'. The 5 songs they performed at Oz For Africa were 'Original Sin', 'Listen Like Thieves', 'Kiss The Dirt', 'What You Need' and 'Don't Change'.
In 2004, 2 of the tracks ('What You Need' & 'Dont Change') were included on the Live Aid 4-DVD box set.
