I almost forgot U2, they were outstanding at the London show. They were probably the hottest act in 1985, I actually saw them in Jacksonville about that time. So David Bowie, Queen and U2 I remember the best, from the American side, nothing stands out to me.

In America the Cars who we almost never see live, played, as well as the Beach Boys, Hall & Oates and they threw in some 1980's acts like The Thompson Twins and Madona and the VJ's built up the Mick Jagger & Tina Turner duo coming up along with Plant and Page. At the time I thought that was terrible they didn't ask John Paul Jones to come with them. I remember reading that he was never asked and would played, so we would at least have 3/4 of Zeppelin. They played Rock N' Roll which I find to be the least sounding Zeppelin song, it's sort of like a song anybody could play. Whereas The Immigrant Song or something like that would of been great.
