Phil writes: So many of us first heard this at 'Live Aid' when at David Bowie's insistence (he cut short his set to accommodate it) a brief film of haunting images of the starvation in Ethiopia, to which this was the only sound- track, was shown. Even now it's hard to disentangle it from the images, but its a great and haunting song in its own right. (I would have posted the Ethiopia footage but apparently its unavailable.)

I think it was said at the time that Bowie gave up some of his own onstage time so that this video could be shown. It had more impact than any of the live performances.
