George Harrison, Denny Laine, Roy Wood, Robert Plant, Jeff Lynne и другие на концерте Heart Beat 1986

Heart Beat 86 was a benefit concert staged at the National Exhibition Centre near Birmingham, England, on 15 March 1986. It was organised by Bev Bevan to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Tickets for the sold-out concert cost £15.50 each (£12.00 being a "voluntary" donation). The show started at 3pm, with musicians and bands mostly from Birmingham performing until late into the evening. The concert saw performances from Steve Gibbons, The Rockin' Berries, The Move, Ruby Turner, The Applejacks, and The Fortunes. Roy Wood performed his festive hit "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day". Denny Laine sang "Go Now" and performed "Mull of Kintyre", which he co wrote. Robert Plant performed with the group Big Town Playboys. UB40 played the song "Red Red Wine", The Moody Blues did "Nights in White Satin", and ELO added "Don't Bring Me Down". The finale featured George Harrison and all the artists on stage, jamming to the standard "Johnny B. Goode".

Compères for the show were local comedian Jasper Carrott and Peter Powell, with appearances by Noddy Holder and Jim Davidson.

In the concert programme there was a good will message from Live Aid founder Bob Geldof, which finished with him writing "I send you all very best of luck and hope that you achieve your aims".

A single, "Action" by the Tandy Morgan Band, was released to raise money for the event.

Начнем с конца. Похоже это единственный случай, когда Денни Лейн выступал на одном концерте с Джорджем Харрисоном

Ну а сам Денни Лейн впервые оказался на одной сцене с коллегами по Moody Blues впервые с 1966 года

Но это еще не все. Рой Вуд впервые вышел на одну сцену с бывшими коллегами по ELO.

Не будем забывать о совершенно чумовом выступлении Роберта Планта и группы Big Town Playboys:

Ну и наконец, хедлайнеры и организаторы концерта.

P.S. Не будем забывать, что большая часть музыкантов, которые выступили на этом концерте, родились именно в Бирмингеме.

Денни очень приятно видеть с Джорджем, а этого бородатого завсегдатая вечеринок - не очень. Линн - не люблю его.
