MOSCOW — The Soviet Union will not broadcast live coverage of Saturday’s “Live Aid” rock concert, a state television spokesman said Wednesday. China said it too would not broadcast the concert.
Organizers of the charity concert had said both countries would be among 150 countries to show performances by Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and David Bowie. The concerts are being staged in London, Sydney, Australia, and Philadelphia to raise money for African drought victims.
