Both of these pictures are supposed to be from LiveAid. If so, then why do Mike & Al have on different clothes in the different pictures? Costume change? Mix-up on dates of pictures?

PERFECT BLUE BUILDING “I began going for Rolfing. While on the massage table I mentioned my love for Brian Wilson to my practitioner (now my collegue). She asked me his name again. I told her. She didn't know that he was a Beach Boy, but she did know his name. ‘Brian Wilson? Funny, I was at a spiritual retreat getting in touch with my inner self. A man named Brian Wilson was my spiritual companion,’ she said. A charge of energy raced through my body. I begged her for information, anything! She flatly refused, telling me she couldn't break their confidence. No amount of pleading could sway her. At my next appointment, I took a picture of him. ‘Yes, that was him. He looks far better in the photo than he does in person’, she replied. As she began working on me she said, ‘You love him and his work more than he loves himself, you know.’”

THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Yellow Magic Orchestra "formed in Tokyo in 1978 with keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto, drummer Yukihiro Takahashi, and bassist Haruomi Hosono. History remembers YMO as a trailblazing synthpop band, one that pioneered the use of synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines. But they didn't sound like a synthpop band, at least by the standards of the time, and they sounded too joyful, too different, to be lumped in with glum British acts like Gary Numan, Ultravox and Thomas Leer."
