<P> In 1986 Spin published an exposé on the realities of Live Aid's actions in Ethiopia . Geldof responded by deriding both the articles and the medical relief organisation Médecins Sans Frontières who had been expelled from the country . According to the BBC World Service, a certain proportion of the funds were siphoned off by Mengistu Haile Mariam and his army (which included the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front). This coalition battled at the time against Derg . The Band Aid Trust complained to the BBC Editorial Complaints Unit regarding the specific allegations in the BBC World Service documentary, and their complaint was upheld . Although a professed admirer of Geldof's generosity and concern, American television commentator Bill O'Reilly has been critical of the Live Aid's oversight of the use of the funds raised . O'Reilly believes that charity organizations, operating in aid - receiving countries, should control donations, rather than possibly corrupt governments . </P> <P> Arguing that Live Aid accomplished good ends while inadvertently causing harm at the same time, David Rieff gave a presentation of similar concerns in The Guardian at the time of Live 8 . Tim Russert, in an interview on Meet the Press shortly after O'Reilly's comments, addressed these concerns to Bono . Bono responded that corruption, not disease or famine, was the greatest threat to Africa, agreeing with the belief that foreign relief organizations should decide how the money is spent . On the other hand, Bono said that it was better to spill some funds into nefarious quarters for the sake of those who needed it, than to stifle aid because of possible theft . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Time </Th> <Th> Performer (s) </Th> <Th> Performed song (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 12: 00 </Td> <Td> Coldstream Guards </Td> <Td> "God Save the Queen" (First six bars only) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 12: 01 </Td> <Td> Status Quo </Td> <Td> "Rockin' All Over the World" "Caroline" "Don't Waste My Time" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 12: 19 </Td> <Td> The Style Council </Td> <Td> "You're the Best Thing" "Big Boss Groove" "Internationalists" "Walls Come Tumbling Down!" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 12: 44 </Td> <Td> The Boomtown Rats </Td> <Td> "I Don't Like Mondays" "Drag Me Down" "Rat Trap" "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 13: 01 </Td> <Td> Adam Ant </Td> <Td> "Vive Le Rock" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 13: 17 </Td> <Td> Ultravox </Td> <Td> "Reap the Wild Wind" "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" "One Small Day" "Vienna" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 13: 46 </Td> <Td> Spandau Ballet </Td> <Td> "Only When You Leave" "Virgin" "True" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 14: 07 </Td> <Td> Elvis Costello </Td> <Td> "All You Need Is Love" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 14: 22 </Td> <Td> Nik Kershaw </Td> <Td> "Wide Boy" "Don Quixote" "The Riddle" "Wouldn't It Be Good" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 14: 53 </Td> <Td> Sade </Td> <Td> "Why Can't We Live Together" "Your Love Is King" "Is It a Crime" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 15: 18 </Td> <Td> Sting Phil Collins </Td> <Td> "Roxanne" (Sting) "Driven to Tears" (Sting) "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" (Phil Collins) "Message in a Bottle" (Sting) "In the Air Tonight" (Phil Collins) "Long Long Way to Go" (both) "Every Breath You Take" (both) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 15: 49 </Td> <Td> Howard Jones </Td> <Td> "Hide and Seek" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 16: 08 </Td> <Td> Bryan Ferry </Td> <Td> "Sensation" "Boys And Girls" "Slave to Love" "Jealous Guy" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 16: 40 </Td> <Td> Paul Young </Td> <Td> "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
