RE:After the Fire



>From what I remember, Townshend wrote this song to be played at Wembly for 
Live Aid in 1985.  The band did not get it together in time and decided not 
to play it.  As you know, Roger took the song and recorded it on his solo 
album. (Under a raging Moon).  The song's title is supposed to say, what's 
going to happen "After Live Aid?".
As Townshend said in 1985, Live Aid will raise a lot of money and feed a lot 
of starving people, however, the fire (or famine) will always smolder and 
burn and it should not be consider extinguished. You're right, the 
Cheiftains version is fantastic along with Baba O.
