Dancing In The Street - Mick Jagger & David Bowie “The Princes Trust Rock Gala” 1986

OMG, WHAT A BAND Y’all!! From The Prince's Trust Rock Gala concert, held in 1986. This event brought together some of the biggest names in music to raise money for The Prince’s Trust, a charity founded by Prince Charles to support young people. The concert was held at Wembley Arena and featured an all-star lineup of musicians who performed both solo and collaborative sets.

In this iconic performance, Paul McCartney steps up to introduce two legendary rock icons—Mick Jagger and David Bowie—who join forces for an electrifying rendition of "Dancing In The Street." The song, originally recorded by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964, was covered by Jagger and Bowie for the Live Aid charity in 1985, becoming a massive hit.

Onstage, Elton John plays piano, providing a spirited accompaniment, while Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler delivers his signature guitar work. Other notable band members include Ray Cooper on percussion, a longtime collaborator of Elton John, and a horn section that adds the punchy brass energy characteristic of the original song.

This performance was one of the standout moments of the night, bringing together some of the biggest names in rock history for an unforgettable collaboration. It also highlights the charitable nature of the event, as some of these musicians had performed in the previous year's Live Aid concert, showing their ongoing commitment to philanthropy through music.
