Capítulo 57: Chp 57 : The Live Aid?
Hello! Merry Christmas for everyone, this is part 1 of 2 chapter for holiday, which actually it was 1 chp split into 2 chps, got you!!
Anyway, this 2 chapter only had a music lyrics and other unimportant things so I need to warn you first that this chp will be boring if you despise this.
I gave early warning because I didn't like some baby adults bitchin and complaint about like they did in chp 52&53, and I bet they didn't even read it fully. I had put a lot of future reference in those 2 chps, that's why its a bit boring, so don't go bitchin again in the future if you miss the references, besides as if you gave me power stones or donate paypal or became a patron, like Jarvis did (bro, you are the man bruh)
If you didn't do any of them, reduce your tone little bit, its annoying, just skip the chapter, don wanna hear your whining.
Happy Reading Guys!! Oh, play the music for better experience.

Today was the legendary day of humankind, if they missed this day, they wasted their chance to be born as a human.
The Live Aid concert! Aired to more than hundreds of countries, watched by almost 2 billion people across the world, and seen by 190,000 people in Wembley Stadium, London and JFK Stadium, Philadelphia.
If 2020s people ever watched this event on Youtube, didn't matter which generation you were from, Boomer to Gen Z, they would want to go back in time to the 80s and watch this concert.
Al, has become a part of this legendary event, 'The Man' was not born yet at that time, so he missed this chance, but not for Al! Not only he could watch it but also performed here.
The concert was opened by Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Charles and Princess Diana; introduced by Richard Skinner on Wembley Stadium, London.
After their greeting, they sang England National Anthem, God Save the Queen.
In JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, Al was in his disguise, watching Princess Diana on a big screen, making short greetings to the audience of Wembley Stadium, with her husband.
When Al saw her on the screen, she looked stiff and formal, unlike when he met her at the premiere.
It was seven AM in Philadelphia while in the UK was already noon, there were 5 hours time difference between the UK and Philadelphia, US.
His performance starts at 4.29 pm USA time, so he got so much time. He would spend it by joining the crowd as a music fan in the audience stands.
His friends also came to watch the Live Aid concert, especially to watch him performed on a world stage like this. Max, Anthony, Ione, Robin, River, Toby, Jon and also the new addition of their group the oldest ones, Keanu Reeves.
River and Keanu were the rock music hardcore fans, of course, they would come, they even got jealous of Al who could perform at this stage.
Hours by hours passed, Al felt his throat sore for singing too much song. He knew if he sang again with the crowd, he would be screwed because it was not yet his time to perform but he already lost his voice.
From the US, some performances rocked the stadium like Black Sabbath, Rick Springfield, REO Speedwagon, Crosby; Stills & Nash, Beach Boys, etc.
On UK's side, there were Status Quo, Sting+Phil Collins, Paul Young, U2, Dire Straits.
But everything was lost to the most memorable performance in history that Al remembered in his previous life. Her Majesty, The Queen finally took the stage!
Freddie Mercury delivered the best performance Al had ever seen, even more, spectacular to watch it live rather than when he watched it in video or the movie.
Unfortunately, he saw this performance on screen, he should've to take Diana's offer to sing at Wembley Stadium, but he won't watch this together with his friends.
But he was still grateful that he was born at this time, this is the greatest rock concert in the entire life, he would never forget this experience.
Al took a look at his watch and realized that his performance time was almost coming. Oh, the organizers would be mad at him right now because he was missing from backstage the entire time.
He said farewell to his friend, they didn't forget to wish him luck, Ione even kissed his cheek as a good luck charm, and that did not go unseen by everyone else who just nod at him as understanding.
Al wanted to clarify again to them, but he was racing against time now, so he just said goodbye and would talk about it later.
After the performance of Elton John in the UK, and Ashford & Simpson in the US. Finally, it was Madonna's turn to perform.
Introduced by Bette Midler, Madonna sang Holiday and Into the Groove.
Al hurriedly ran to backstage, he was right that the organizers were mad at him. He should have been here with Madonna, rehearsing.
Fortunately, they were already practiced their duet the day after they met at his soon to be Valhalla Dine & Bar.
"You ready, Mr. Brandt." The man with shorts and a polo shirt gave the acoustic guitar to him.
"I WAS BORN READY," He said in Batman's voice, the backstage man just staring blankly at him.
"I mean, I'm ready, wish me luck." He tried to see his nametag, "Paul."
The man named Paul just smiled and also raised his fist to him.
Madonna was finished singing Love Makes The World Go Round feat Thompson Twins, she made a surprising announcement to the audience of the world.
"Hello everyone! I got a surprise guest for all of you! Let's give applause to the one and only, Alphonse Brandt!!"
'What!?' The audience at the JFK Stadium were all confused. The movie and music fans knew who Al was but they were confused about what was he doing here? Was he also the mc in this concert like Jack Nicholson?
As for the music fans, they didn't follow the celebrities' names, only knew them from the roles they played, for example, they knew Jack Nicholson from <The Shining>.
But their confusion didn't last long, Al came to the stage with an acoustic guitar in his hands, he wore grey fitted flannel shirts and jeans. His clothing style was taken from the 2010s style so he was ahead of his time in clothing.
"Marty!? Guys, that was Marty McFly!!" Some of the audience screamed.
"Marty!!" "McFly!!" Everyone was shouting his character name in the film.
Elton John, who was taking a break in the VIP room frowned, he turned to the other British musicians who were also in the same room, and said, "Oh those brutes, look, as if one woman who sang with pre-recorded voice, live was enough, now we got an actor who wanted to sing? They will stain the music industry!"
Gordon or Sting turned to him and said, "Give the boy a chance Johnny, we did not hear his songs yet."
Other musicians also got curious about this 'Marty McFly' boy who was shouted by the audience, The Queen, and ex-Beatles, Paul McCartney seemed also interested with this boy.
Back in Philadelphia, Al brought a chair and sat on it. He began to pluck the guitar string, the audience immediately fell into silence.
Al began to sing, his voice had a low tone and heavy, his pre-teen voice was disappeared entirely when he sang. Since his puberty began, he hired a vocal coach to teach him to manage his unstable teen voice.
"[Tell me somethin', girl]
[Are you happy in this modern world?]
[Or do you need more?]
[Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?]
[I'm falling]
[In all the good times I find myself]
[Longin' for change]
[And in the bad times I fear myself]"
(Tribute to Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, Shallow)
The audience was amazed at Al's voice and at the same time confused. Why the rhythm was slow? Is Madonna gonna sing slow music? this was really new, but it was so good.
When Madonna's turn, she finally made the other musician who looked down on her, felt ashamed.
"[Tell me something, boy]
[Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?]
[Or do you need more?]
[Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?]"
This song synchronized her voice making it so perfect and beautiful, she was always called a performer by music critics, not a singer, and at this moment, everyone felt that Madonna finally made a breakthrough in her music career.
"[I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in]
[I'll never meet the ground]
[Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us]
[We're far from the shallow now]
[In the shallow, shallow]
[In the shallow, shallow]
[In the shallow, shallow]
[We're far from the shallow now]"
Their song reached the climax and the audience raised their hands following the melody of the music.
Elton John who was snickered at them both before was laughing loudly, "You are right, I should not judge it early, this, this is what music is!"
David Bowie, Sting, Freddie Mercury were shaking their heads at him. But both of them were good, and this boy; they knew Madonna can't be the one who made this, to experiment changing her music styles in this world stages were same as suicide.
And this boy's songwriting skill must be moved Madonna so much that she agreed to sing this song.
"[We're far from the shallow now]" Finally, with the last chorus, their performance finally finished.
They started to applaud them and cried out their names, Madonna then said, "Thank you everyone and now I presented you, the solo performance by Marty McFly! Or should I say, Alphonse Brandt?"
"Hello, World!!" Al took the mic from her and put it on the stand.
'Whoaaaa!!!' Al raised his acoustic guitar and greeted the audience.
He brought his guitar closed to his body and signaled the band to play his intro.
