Music can be powerful. The Guardian listed 50 concerts that changed modern music history. Let's look at three of them.
Bob Dylan: Newport Folk Festival
Rhode Island, US, July 25, 1965
Bob Dylan is well-known for his poetic guitar ballads. In this 1965 concert, Dylan took out an electric guitar and made a sharp sound. The Guardian said this is when folk rock was born.
Freddie Mercury: Live Aid

As its name suggests, Live Aid was for helping people. It raised $245 million to fight famine(饥荒)in Ethiopia. It's often seen as the first benefit(慈善)concert of its kind. The concert also saw the birth of a new rock star—Freddie Mercury.
