    This was the most amazing day of live music. Almost back-to-back we had Status Quo, Spandau Ballet, Elvis Costello, Sade, Sting and Phil Collins, Bryan Ferry, Paul Young and Alison Moyet, U2, Dire Straits, Queen, and pity David Bowie who went on straight after Queen and who just said "You bastards!" as they passed him waiting to go on stage, The Who, Elton John, and Paul McCartney. All in one line-up one after the other. It was epic.

      @@ThomasTallant Yeah, I know. That was really their only opportunity. However, each artist was only given 20 minutes each and were told their mics and power would be turned off if they went over time. Queen had timed their group of songs to the nth degree (That's why all the songs they played were not the full versions. They wanted to cram in as many songs as they could in the time available and didn't have a chance to discuss the lineup with Bowie)

  • @susanengland3919

    At the time of Live Aid I was serving in the British Royal Marine Commandos in a refugee camp in Ethiopia. We listened to it on the radio. We were surrounded by the full horror of the Famine, but when Queen came on the radio those poor soles who were there even reacted in a very positive way. I remember that a lot of us Royal Marine Commandos were crying watching some of the children dancing along, I'm teary eyed just remembering. I looked around at men I had fought alongside, who were tough, hardened Royal Marine Commandos who had fought a life and death war against Argentinian's in 82. By the end of Queen's set we were dancing with the children. It went along way to help build their trust in us. The famine is only one of many terrible memories I have from 35 years of active service, and over 3 years hospitalisation. But when I remember the smiles on the children's faces, and their laughter at the terrible way we danced always reminds me that humanity will always find it's way through even the worst of times. I only watched it for the first time last year, my son put it on the TV. A lot of memories came back and a lot of tears.
    My amazing Wife took me to see Queen at Wembley, U.K., in 1986 two weeks after I got back from Ethiopia as a surprise, we also went to the last Queen concert they ever did. I saw Queen live 8 times in all (my wife only 6 ha ha), they were incredible live. And yes, I am an old fart.

    Freddie could command a stadium simply with a hand gesture. He had absolutely incredible stage presence. Queen at live aid has been consistently quoted as the greatest live performance of all time - and Freddie actually did it against doctors advice! He was the complete rock megastar. As Brian has said multiple times since the rest of the band played their parts but the day belonged to Freddie. I was lucky enough to see it live on tv, yes I was one of the 1.9 billion viewers who were totally mesmerized by him that day.

      There were actually several amazing performances that day, Queen among them. The most talked about thing in the aftermath of the concert was how Phil Collins played at both Wembley and at JFK Stadium, taking the Concorde to New York immediately following his London set. Phil played with Sting in London, then appeared with Eric Clapton and with Led Zeppelin in Philly. The legend of Queen's performance grew in subsequent years and it is now the main performance that everyone remembers. David Bowie's set, which immediately followed Queen's is also amazing and worth a watch.

    After seeing Queen several times in the 80’s, Freddie was a absolute consummate performer and left the audience wanting more. There will never be another like him. One thing, watch the set right though without stopping, then ask questions.

    I'm so glad that videos like this still exist so that people who weren't even alive or were very young could see this great performance. I remember the magnitude of this event simultaneously happening on two continents and so many of the bands that played to the live crowds and millions, millions Inna, on TV. Just magnificent. Thank you for a great reaction. ❤

    I watched almost the entire Live Aid festival live on television back in 85 ... this performance by Queen blew me away, and everybody else as well. I was already a fan of their music and was it even more after watching this show ( I have never seen them live myself). I also remember the day the news broke that Freddy Mercury had passed away; it felt almost like losing a friend of sorts. He was a great singer, performer and genuine great person.
    And I am not at all surprised you love this performance!

    I still remember the day Innuendo, the last album with Freddie, was released. the managers of the record shop I frequented called me at work leaving a message: Queen have arrived... fantastic to listen to, but focusing on The Show Must go on, I could sense that something would have changed, I wanted so much to be able to to meet someone from the band that in 1991 I went to London... well, I was there the night Freddie died, I couldn't meet him but the day after his funeral I decided to go and say hello to him, I was in London with an English work colleague of mine and he came with me, we went to the neighborhood where the cemetery was, we walked slowly, arriving at the entrance everything was closed, so I rang the bell and the caretaker came, since we had come from so far away he opened the gate for us and took us to the place where we thought he had been buried, in the meantime the caretaker, knowing that I came from Italy, told me that he had been there during the war, I talk about it with a certain nostalgia, in the end we found ourselves in an area literally covered in flowers, I asked him where Freddie was and he replied that he was there around when the ashes had been scattered by his will. I take him to where there were two large letters made of roses: an F and an M, he told me that I could take a rose from each letter, roses that I still keep dried today, I was a kid, perhaps excited. I remember my colleague's hug as I took the flowers and the caretaker's handshake when we left, perhaps I had dusted off a memory for him, but he gave one to me that I still have after all these years.

    Freddie Mercury is one of those rare performers that can match and feed off a crowd's energy, and stir it up some too. This was a short set, but it was broadcast globally. They only had 20 minutes for their set, and they rehearsed it like crazy. it was said that David Bowie was the next on the stage, and he told Freddie on his way out, "Son of a B---, how can I follow THAT?" This has gone down in history as one of the top live performances ever.

    I'm close to my 60's, and I grew up with Queen. Being a (hobby) guitar player, I'm a great fan of Sir Brian May, which also is an astrophysicist (who would guess that).
    He wrote several of Queens hits, like "We Will Rock You" and "Fat Bottom Girls", and is great on guitar.
