Why did Peter Gabriel use two microphones?

Why did Bryan Ferry use two microphones at Live Aid?
The likely reason is that the split between the live sound and broadcast consoles was malfunctioning, buzzing or whatever, and that one mic is for the PA and the other is for recording and/or broadcast.
Can you use 2 microphones at once?
Connecting several mics to your computer with an audio mixer follows a surprisingly simplified process. All you have to do is connect the microphones (and any other input) to the mixer with XLR cables. Then, connect the mixer to your laptop through a USB cable. It's that easy!
