Monday at 10 p.m.: The new NBC show 'Quantum Leap' features Philadelphia in 1985 just before the Live Aid concert. And we're taking a look back too, talking to the man who pulled off a miracle to make that mega-event happen:

"Somehow I convinced them to do it in Philadelphia," Magid told NBC10 in an interview last week of his efforts to convince the concert organizers to have it here."Many of you won’t remember, but at the time, Philly had the biggest stadium in America: JFK was a big horseshoe that could hold over 90,000 fans. It was right in what is now the Wells Fargo Center’s Broad Street side parking lot. And frankly? It was a dump.
