Concerts for Kampuchea - 1979-12-29 - London, UK (SBD)

As 1979 came to a close, a host of rock superstars came together for a 4 night series of concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon in London to raise money for the victims of war-torn Cambodia. The 4 shows, entitled The Concerts For The People OF Kampuchea, featured the following acts:

• December 26: Queen
• December 27: Ian Dury, Matumba and The Clash
• December 28: The Specials, The Pretenders and The Who
• December 29: Elvis Costello, Rockpile and Paul McCartney & Wings 

A double album featuring highlights from the concert was released in 1981, but due to a host of record company issues, has never been released in any digital format. That said, we have some highlights from the final night of shows, on December 29, 1979, 3 dozen years ago today, which were not included on the album when it was released. These soundboard recordings capture McCartney, Rockpile & Elvis Costello demonstrating the power of rock & roll to help raise awareness and funds for social causes!
