The fast-moving afternoon performance covered the breadth of the band's catalog, cramming a whole concert's worth of highlights, old and new, into an abbreviated set that included "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Ga Ga," "Hammer to Fall" (Queen's newest single), "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and the finale of "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions." "It was," May added, "the greatest day of our lives."
Mercury was everywhere: at the piano for the beginning of "Bohemian Rhapsody," marching around with his sawed-off mic stand during "Radio Ga Ga" as the Wembley crowd clapped in unison, singing with a reserve of emotion, owning the fans and the moment. It was a turn as virtuosic as it was surprising. Where others might have shied away or even made smaller by the moment, Queen rose to the occasion.
Everyone else knew it too. "You bastards," John crowed backstage. "You stole the show!" Queen attempted to build on that momentum, booking a comeback stadium tour in 1986. Sales were brisk, but it would be their final globe-crossing journey with Mercury, who started losing a battle with AIDS around this time.
Along the way, Queen's performance at Live Aid has only grown in stature. "Every band should study Queen at Live Aid," Dave Grohl later enthused. "If you really feel like that barrier is gone, you become Freddie Mercury. I consider him the greatest frontman of all time."

Thanks for even acknowledging my comment. There are 2 other people I requested the following Reactions to but they didn't bother. So I believe that you guys would LOVE to do these 2 Queen Reactions but both of you MUST WEAR HEADPHONES to get the full QUEEN EXPERIENCE. They put a lot of time and effort to make the following 2 songs, among others, to be listened to WITH HEADPHONES. You hear them left, right, center, up and down. A drink or 2 makes the QUEEN EXPERIENCE even better. PLEASE!
1. NOW I'M HERE
2. THE PROPHETS SONG
Sincerely, Original Fat Bottom Girl from Old HB NYC
(BTW: Fat Bottom Girls is a Queen song, usually followed by Bicycle Race, another Queen song. Steph would love them, no headphones required, and I think Jay Lee just may like it more.) ❤️
Teresa Fogarty you are a true fan! Bicycle Race is oddly addictive. At first you think “Is this really a song....really?” Then suddenly you are singing along!
Hammer and fall is the so g
And radio ga ga
Magenta Taylor - it’s “hammer to fall” M. Taylor but I agree w/you completely
@@magentataylor9248 radio gaga hamer the fall its a hard life y i want to break free
He held a Microphone in one hand and the world in the other!! Freddie was the BEST
David Bowie was up to perform after them; as they exited the stage, he said to them, "You BASTARDS! How am i supposed to follow that?!"
And David did good also. ☺
🇱🇷🇹🇼🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇱🇨🇱
NO one could have ever topped Queen !
David Bowie didn't say that, it was Elton John. He said "You bastards! You stole the show!”
@@jeremiah5881 That's a misquotation, Elton even said so at the next live aid.
17 ... I quit my job to be at live aid because my boss said I couldn't have the day off I'm from philidelphia
You made the right decision!
Have you found any work yet? :)
@@Isleofskye lol
Which one. The wembley one or the jfk one
You're an absolute legend! I wish I could travel back in time just for this benefit concert
The man who gave a 100% and never looked liked he was trying. He didn’t know any other way, the greatest singer ever.
When England was ruled by a different queen for a mere 20 minutes. I loved this performance so much it was soo good!
I think that is considered the best live performance... of any band.. ever.
Almost. I've had the privilege of seeing Pink Floyd several times.
why the hell didnt you watch the last song at nite.
Of all time for your correction not band. Not even any artist back then and now or the future will ever be like live aid
This is the best band of any time and genre! Ever!
Queen live at Wembley in 1986 was better believe it or not.
20 minutes that changed Music FOREVER.... ... only the world was a large enough stage for Freddie, and he had everyone who was listening in the palm of his hand, WORLDWIDE
Nearly forty years later, this is the only performance from the Live-Aid concert on CZcams. Once in a lifetime performance!
You can find the Status Quo set.
Queen stopped the world with this performance.
David Bowie was like "Assholes! How am I supposed to FOLLOW THAT?"
David Bowie...
@@dommydench4693 I think U2 gave a better performance
No They OWNED THE WORLD and never looked back
Those were the days when there was no lip syncing. No auto tune, just awesome live singing. Freddie was a genius, well the whole band was.
I was 31 in 1985, yikes!! Loved your reaction. Thx&see ya😁
Great isn't it!!
Freddy did not do it alone! His Band is Epic
Freddie was a legend. No one had a presence like him. He was a massive and tragic loss to the music industry and the WORLD!!!
Freddie is*** a Legend and Always will be
The whole band was amazing. Who would think a dentist astro physis electric engineer and graphic artist could mix so well to make the greatest band.
Theresa Hoover - That was their strength. Four totally different individuals who all liked different kinds of music, were highly educated and had different skills. Freddie like classical, gospel and opera. John liked soul, funk, disco and progressive stuff like Yes. Roger really disliked Deacon's tastes in music and called it bullocks. (Roger is not the most tactful person on the planet. He also cruelly called Deacon a sociopath! Very mean.) Brian liked The Beatles, Who and Hendrix. Roger preferred rock like Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix's drummer). They augmented each other. Deaky was their early electronics guy and of course he invented the unique amp that Brian still uses that enables his guitar to sound like an entire orchestra. That was a major component of Queen's music that cannot be overlooked. Apparently the fights were epic but that made the music better because they pushed each other.
That is WHY they were so good; they ALL had lucrative careers OUTSIDE of the band..... takes the pressure off so when they got together, they just had FUN
😂😂😂😂😂 they appreciated also outside star life..
What was also amazing about this performance was that donations had only been trickling in up to this point, and then Freddie and Queen blasted in. The donations shot up like a rocket due to this truly inspired performance! This was the power of Freddie and Queen, no other band could do this! The unique and immortal Freddie!
That is absolutely the truth. Queen really jumpstarted the donations and made this a successful venture.
The Joy this man brings to the whole planet is amazing, There will never be another !!!!.
I was 6, my mum was there, she still says it was the greatest thing she has ever seen or heard.
Paul Graham Your mum is right I remember this sooo well, you don’t get sheer genius like that these days! There has never been anyone before or since like Freddie and Queen. Glad to see your mum’s brought you up right!
Yeah, between my mum listening to Queen and Slade, and my dad listening to Kiss and Genesis I was born into great music, sadly lost in this day and age.
This performance by Freddie & Queen will never be topped. They were on fire that day. Greatest live performance in rock n roll history.
Freddie even managed to top Elvis with his own song. Hard flex and show of respect.
@@dommydench4693 that's a queen song
@@dommydench4693that's a Freddie song
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is an original Queen song (written by Freddie). And, as for your assumption- it's a tribute to Elvis :)
Excellent reaction from both of you, gave me sheer pleasure to watch you guys blended such.
P.S.- I'm a simple man, I see people admiring Freddie/Queen- I start loving them, click Like on their post, subscribe & click the bell-button.
- From a Queen-Freddie devotee since 1991 (I's 10yo then).
How can one song make you cry , smile and yell . The best . Love you Freddie mercury.
The mystery song is called "Hammer to Fall" Radio Gaga is how Lady Gaga got her stage name. Gordon
Asshat!!I just posted the same thing without reading the previous posts. Ugh.
Bill Krayer don’t worry I just did the same thing😂
Queen... One band that could unite the entire world... Special.
The opening to Radio Ga Ga is probably in my top 10 things of all time that instantly makes me smile. It never gets old. We definitely miss you Freddie.
laserfloyd...YESSSSSS! The way he jumps str8 up into the air and prance ‘round waitin’ to sing was magical for sure ✌🏾!
I was 16 and remember my very conservative dad, a farmer, watching this just for Queen
I don't care what walk of life someone is from, everybody, and I mean ERVREBODY loved Queen back then.
"Do that shit Freddie!" Lol what a great way to start my work day. Seeing the love and appreciation for Queen makes me cry a little...every time
Now that’s the way to react to Freddie! ❤️👍🕊
I so agree!!
Well queen
Richard Lloyd it’s great to see so many black American folk have now joined the Queen revolution, seeing as you normally have your own music that’s inbuilt into you, congratulations to you all 👍👍all music is for everyone
Wardis...😂 Rock ‘n Roll started with Little Richard my friend and us blacks were all in from that point on 🤙🏾!
I know that’s right!! Do your shit Freddie!!!
Crazy little thing called love is A song written by Freddie whilst in his bath as a tribute to Elvis , he wrote this in under 10 mins, Radio Ga Ga is the other song you didn't know, Lady Ga Ga named herself after this song, there is more to this band for you to discover and as you do you will realise how influential they were to music today !
Actually friends started calling her Gaga and it stuck. They added Lady later.
Lady Gaga is satanic TRASH
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Chill dude
s g yes Gaga's friends gave nick naked her inspired by the song Radio Gaga
Radio gaga and hammer to fall are the two songs
I was 7 years old then and lived 45 minute drive away in Oxford. But could still hear that gig from my bedroom window. 😂
i was not born back then but this live aid was for the famine in my country so thank you the Legendary freddie, queen and everybody else.
Bohemian Rhapsody should be the earth’s anthem. He is the best of all time, there really is no comparison.
It pretty much is, unoficially!
Uh, back in 1977 my cousin and I worked at NASA. He had top secure clearance but I just did ground work. One day we were sitting around after work in the parking lot burning...incense...listening to Pink Floyd DSOTM when I ejected the c.d. and jokingly said "I bet you can't get this onto Voyager?" Next day he showed me the disc he had exchanged it with. Now if only they have a c.d. player where it ends up at.
@@rondohunter8966 you ejected a CD from a car deck in 1977 ?
Rondo Hunter there are so many things wrong with this statement, it was infact the Russians that took a copy of DSOTM into space & yea 🙈 it be pretty hard to find a CD player anywhere in 1977 let alone in the dashboard of a car 😂
@@7bean3 I was ahead of my time, technologically speaking.
This performance has been called "the 20 minutes that changed rock and roll". I tuned in to see led zeppelin reunited for the first time since Bonhams death. And i really only remember this
There were 15 bands there. Queen went on after six hours and ..........STOLE THE SHOW!!!! R.I.P. FREDDIE!!
I remember watching that set on TV and being knocked over even with crap sound fron one tiny speaker. 30-plus years later and they still wipe me out. That was a SHOW!
“Bohemian Rhapsody” (Partial)
“Radio Ga Ga”
Vocal improvisation.
“Hammer to Fall”
“Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
“We Will Rock You” (first verse and chorus only)
“We Are the Champions”
sle2470 true fact, radio Ga Ga, Is how lady gaga got her stage name
These are good songs to listen too in the car while your driving with your friends
tyler denaro oh hell no! Bro I just cringes so hard rn
Accurate on the setlist
Also there was "Is this the World we Created" at 9:45 pm
A shiver goes down the spine when the greatest showman ever starts performing! Freddie Forever.
You have to understand. Live Aid was a sordid boring affair, and then Queen came on, and totally SMASHED IT! They took over the entire concert single-handedly.
Richard Bexborn is hat was even more amazing was that this was not a queen crowd at all as queen were late to be announced on the line up. Makes it even more amazing
One thing Queen did that many others didn't was practice their set. They knew how much time they had and wanted to 1) Cram as many hits as they could into that time and 2) Make sure they hit the audience fast and hard and keep them engaged. They accomplished both to an incredible degree. Shows how professional Queen was, even when doing a short set for charity.
The greatest concert ever. 25 minutes. That's all. THE GREATEST!!!
AC/DC does a lot better tho
AC/DC aren’t better, just different!
Sex Pistols 2007 There Will Always Be An England at Brixton Academy
Those 25 minutes flew right by.
@@sjn0202 Fuck England nothing but a mongrel Nation of racists. SOAR ALBA GU BRATH!
I'm so glad it was in the 80s, people enjoyed the concert instead of being behind their phones . Love this band and my Freddie
Margaret Howard people use those phones to save those memories, so they can relive them whenever they want, even years later.
ShadowWolf: if the 70,000 people inside Wembley that day, were all standing still so their video that they wanted to post on Facebook wasn't shaky, do you think this would have been the same?
Performers feed off the energy of the crowd. When they are all staring at their phone to make sure they are getting the shot, there is no energy
Margaret Howard: DITTOOOOOOOO.
@@TheOrlandoTrustfull who said they all had to be doing it? if they don't want to record it fine, but don't bash the ones who do want to save the memory forever.
If your at that concert you don’t need a video to remember
God goosebumps nearly 40 years later what a frontman what a band fantastic
Its time to turn up the volume, Freddie's on 🎶🎸
The energy you two had during this "greatest concert performance in history " floored me. I loved watching it for the 100th time
Freddie Mercury didn't die. Another universe just needed him more...^_~
Absolutely loved sharing this moment you you.
Look forward to more!
I said the same thing about Prince. 💯💯💯💯☔☔☔☔☔☔😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@mztweety1374 You weren't wrong, my friend! Lucky ass universes! They take all the best!
@@mztweety1374 You were right. ^_^
GrayNeko Great way of putting it mate ! I like that xxx
Meishawn1374 yes! Aww these comments make me so happy! This Scottish girl utterly adored queen and Prince. I miss Freddie and Prince so much 😩❤️💜
I went to see him 2 weeks before this concert. What a band. No one like Freddie. God bless him. Love from London. Jan 🧡
Loved your reaction. What a beautiful couple you are. Keep sending out that love to the world.
He was such a peacock when he was on stage. I love it
Yes! He actually referred to himself in one interview as a "Persian popinjay." But off stage, he was low-key and rather shy.
Prett flamboyant
Really happy i´m not the only one who thinks so :D
Just as he did with the microphone, he played the stage like an instrument.
Adam Lambert now, he doesn't have the voice of Freddy, geez I don't think anyone does. But Adam has the flamboyance down pat.
I was 18 and just graduated from high school in June....80's were the best time to grow up and watched this on MTV....Good times!!!
In 85 I was almost 40! Yeah I’m old! Queen is never old!
Radio Ga Ga (where Lady Ga Ga took her name) & Hammer to Fall. Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love in memory of Elvis.
I was twelve years old and watched it with my parents..it blew me away and still does...my folks were loyal fans..loved your reactions...miss you Freddy RIP
Crazy little thing called Love. Freddy Mercury's tribute to Elvis after Elvis's deatu.
death..
Freddie!!!! Incredible. God bless. I just finished my sophmore year of high school. Watched it on tv.
I was 15 years old when Live Aid happened. We watched it in our living room in suburban Detroit. When Queen came on, I was drawn to the T.V. By the end of that performance, I was inches away from the screen in AWE. I've truly not been the same since then. One of the brightest spots in my musical journey, that continues to this day. Freddie Mercury set the standard for stage presence and moved so many people in ways that they can't even talk about. I love your reactions!!! As it should be as they are great!! Thank you for a wonderful view through new eyes!! God bless both of you. And Freddie was looking down on you and smiling. What you felt watching this, is what brought him the greatest joy. Drinking vodka BTW :-)
Freddie Mercury wrote crazy little thing called love in the bath 🛀 lol 😂
Fun fact
also, probably said somewhere else here, but he meant it to be a tribute to Elvis' sound
…….whilst playing with his rubber duck! probably fun friction.
A tribute to Elvis.Another fact.
They say this was the best concert ever.I believe it.😀
I was 20 years old raising a 2 year son alone and working hard to support us but still managed to catch this live. Thanks for your review!
I was in college and 20. Tumbs up to you and your family
I was 20 yrs old too
They weren’t billed x 20min sets, no rehearsal they killed it! When you think of Live Aid it’s Queen that 1st pop into your head, we watched from Australia 🇦🇺 back in the day, the 1st 24hr world televised concert ever nothing will beat this x
Scientists say there are 20mins lost that made the earth stop spinning.
The start of this gives me goose bumps, What a man, Performer, Artist and the others in the band are just brilliant. The other concert at Wembley is one of the best as well.
I've seen this concert video about a million times, and probably 30 reaction videos of it. Yours was so fun to watch! Your enthusiasm and excitement was infectious. I found myself smiling and clapping along with you! Thanks for a lot of fun!! And Hey! I graduated in 1986 too!
Damn, you two are adorable . Freddie and Queen are “IT” for me! None better. Never has been probably never will be. I’ve enjoyed Folk, Jazz, Blues, Reggae and more BUT, “Nothing Compares to You”!
The joy on Sheph's face!! so lovely.
I had to respond and congratulate you on seeing this video. Old fart white guy here who remembers Queen well. Haven't read your many other comments, so forgive me if I repeat something. First, no one like Freddy. So much, the US didn't quite know what to do with him. No one was just "in-your-face" gay like Freddy. Not in '85. No big deal now but back then...
But I've loved Queen a long time. Queen made people do just what both of you did. I love the pure joy on your faces. Isn't it amazing how great this show is no matter who you are. Their concerts were interactive. We sang, yelled and cried. Freddy had a 4 octave range, which almost no one has. The only voice like his is Phillip Bailey of Earth Wind and Fire. At the Freddy tribute concert in 1992, all the artists realized they couldn't sing like him! His voice was a gift from God and his showmanship puts P.T. Barnum to shame.
I'm sure you got the deets on the songs and Live Aid. Ain't gonna try to add to that. But thank you, and keep the music on. Sex on the Beach has got to be your next sip on!
Was 22 and watched it on TV all day. Freddie was unbelievable. Miss him.
I was19. It was when MTV played music. Imagine that. Music. So many amazing bands played at Live Aid.
I was 15 when this event happened it was the most impressive 20 minutes of music Period. Freddie had a mc in one hand and over a billion of us aound the world in the other.Epic❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
I was 10 in 85' but I remember this like it was yesterday.
This was an adorable reaction from both people pure awesomeness!
Being born in 1960 I was in my twenties during the eighties and going to numerous rock concerts, one of them being Queen in 1982! One of my top 10 for sure!
What makes this even more amazing apart from the performance, was that this was not a queen audience at all. Maybe some in there. Queen was a late edition to the line up so essentially no one knew they would be there. To command the crowd when they are not your audience is truly amazing.
Freddy is and always will be the greatest voice of rock music.
This is probably one of the most nicest and enjoyable reaction videos that I've ever seen.
OMG! I love you guys! First time I have seen you, but I'm gonna subscribe right now! I was 23 and lived 2 miles from Wembley stadium when Live Aid took place, didn't get tickets so watched it at home and when Freddie was performing could hear the roar of the crowd from my garden! Always loved him, A true legend! Anyway sending much love to you from London, UK ❤️
Nothing more special and intimate than that interaction between Freddie and the audience where he realizes the sheer amount of attention and control he has over the audience. That must be a surreal experience to be that in touch and that in sync with that many people.
Hi Guys, greetings from Loch Lomond, Scotand. I was 25yrs old, unfortunately I wasn't at this amazing concert.There will never be another Freddie, he was something special as was the other band members. Gone but never forgotten!😍
I was 15, watched it on TV. Freddie!!! The man.
I was so sad this morning, until I found your channel, you made me so happy. Your joy is contagious, thank you so much!
I’m drinking Margaritas! Let’s rock Fam! AYO! ALLRIGHT!!!
The best vocalist ever, even medical scientist studied his voice! I MISS HIM SO MUCH! 👦🏻👑🎤🎹🎸 👏🏼👏🏼🥾👏🏼👏🏼🥾👏🏼👏🏼🥾👏🏼👏🏼🥾
Hi Steph ‘n Jay, I just watched your reaction to Queen Live Aid, it so good to see another black woman Love Freddie❣️ I’m a lot older than you, but I’ve Loved Queen & Freddie since I was a kid, kids in my neighborhood of New Jersey thought I was crazy for like there music, I guess they thought black people should only listen to black music, which is nuts to me, I love all types of music😊. Thank you for share your reaction, I loved it, you look like I felt, and still do. I miss Freddie too😔. The movie gave me a different perspective of the other members, except I had a major crush on Roger Taylor. I Love them all as QUEEN 💗
We now use the phrase "Do that shit Freddie!!" in the house when someone does something amazing!
😊😂
Yes mam, Queen was on of the best rock bands. Freddie was spontaneous, and a force to be reckoned with on stage. His energy is absolutely amazing. Radio Gaga is one of my favorite songs from Queen. I absolutely loved y'all reactions to this Live concert. Freddie was a beautiful man.
love from Ireland, it was all in one day. i was born 78 and remember it like yesterday. 40 now and miss the more simpler time's. love and peace bro and sis
“Do that shit Freddie!!!!!!” Love you guys!
Love how you guys appreciated greatness...it IS greatness....watch all of queen n freddie solo projects n collaborations ....the best singer songwriter performer ever no doub...name me a better one to i will listen...omg he kills it
Ome of our best British exports. RIP Freddy
Eh, kinda...Freddie was not BORN in Great Britain, he grew up in two other countries before even arriving there, but we know what you mean.
Farouk Bulsara was born in Zanzibar and moved to the UK as a boy. Deacon, May & Taylor are all Brits.
@@Truthseeker1961 True, but the band has its roots in England, hence why it is considered a Brit band.
Freddie was born in Stone Town, Zanzibar (now Tanzinia) - East Africa. This (as well as India) was a British protectorate and as such, the ppl born there were British subjects intitled to British or Unitied Kingdom citizenship. When the Bulsara’s arrived in England, they applied for full British citizenship, making them UK Brits!
Now if you mean Bri, Rog, and Deacy are ENGLISH, then yes...you would be correct as they were born on English soil and therefore, are Englishmen. Since Britian is made-up of more than ppl only borned on English soil, Freddie can certainly be considered British.
I am so grateful I grew up in the 70's and 80's. So much great music to listen to. I was also fortunate to see Queen live, they were amazing.
You lucky bastard...I got into Queen about 86-ish... and thought "not to worry ,I'll catch them next time they tour"... they never toured again (in that line-up).
OK, first off I have to just say how cute you two are! What a lovely couple you make! You're so nice to each other and if I weren't married I'd say "relationship goals."
Live Aid was a concert given to raise money for famine relief in Africa. Many, Many bands played. Queen's playlist was 1. Bohemian Rhapsody (only a small part of it,) 2. Radio Gaga (from which Lady Gaga took her name,) 3. Hammer to Fall. 4. Crazy Little Thing Called Love (which Freddie wrote specifically as a tribute to Elvis) 5. We Will Rock You 6. We Are the Champions.
Queen's contribution to Live Aid is considered by many as one of the all-time great concerts. My only personal complaint is just that the camera work was terrible because they focussed so heavily on Freddie that they missed showing John Deacon (Bass) Brian May (Guitar) and Roger Taylor ( drums) even when they had solos or were heavily featured. Also, they all contributed to the background vocals and the other three ALL have excellent voices on their own. Other than that, it is just incredible to watch and hear. Thanks for your reactions!
I was there and the concert had been going for around 4hrs and things were slowing down as the live link to the USA was causing all sorts of problems in the arena, sound and picture cutting out.....Then this happened and the whole place just went crazy....IMO the best live performance ever. ......(All original Queen songs).
No one like Freddie, he feels EVERY single note in the core of his body. Only 2 people in history it's said that could control a crowd that size the way he did, 1) Freddie (of course) and 2) Douche bag Hitler. The way he controls the fans is amazing! He has this divine aura about him and makes you light up every time you watch him live, he glows and you can't take your eyes off him. You want to watch a song where the instrumental part "plays your soul" White Queen (A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith 1975)
The instrumental in between his singing is unreal, Freddie disappears and becomes the piano he is so into it, and it's as if the instruments are communicating with one another. You won't regret it if you haven't seen it yet. It's one of his younger performances.
@jim moreisin Well kind of the equivalent to a Hitler rally.
Have you never seen a Beatles concert,I'm going to pretend you haven't.
@@adamnicol4271 The Beatles were nothing special in concert. Their fans just screamed at them, it didn't matter what they played.
dajtoad1 Which is true but sad! They couldn't even hear themselves play bc they were screamed at so much. Queen audiences were 100% invested and almost a part of the band in some moments.
@@arwenodinson8803 I don't think they (The Beatles) ever attempted improv in concert (perhaps because they couldn't hear themselves). They just reproduced their singles. Queen improvised - their concert versions were different every night. Just incredible live performers and, as you say, involving the audience 100% as part of the performance
You missed the last song it was beautiful. Love you both. Freddie brought joy to so many
I was 17 and 3 rows back from the front of this stage !
Best day of my life EVER !!!!
I feel so privileged to have seen this live and just privileged to have been alive when it was on.
This was when music was REAL music and in the 80’s everyone generally had a great time.
The world still had its problems it always has had always will have, but the 80’s was a magical decade, the likes of which the world will sadly never ever see again, which makes me very very sad.
I’m thankful we had Freddie for the time we did, he would be the same age as my mum this year in 2019 !
73 years old !!
I wonder if he would still be dancing round the stage like he is in this video ??
Bless you for the gift of your wonderful music you gave the world Freddie and bless you for giving us you and sharing yourself with the world too. ❤️❌❤️❌❤️❌
RIP Freddie ❤️❤️❌❌❌❌🥰😢
Seeing how happy Freddy still makes people is a beautiful thing
Queen and Freddie Mercury owned the stage that day. Even the people at Philadelphia were clapping along to Radio GaGa
00:36 - Bohemian Rhapsody
02:47 - Radio Ga Ga
06:53 - Ay Oh!
07:35 - Hammer To Fall
12:01 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
16:03 - We Will Rock You
17:22 - We Are The Champions
21:12 - Is This The World We Created...?
nope your time stamp is wrong as they did not react to the last song
Outstanding! I saw Queen & Freddie, live, in 1986. WOW!!!
I was there aged 18 with my friends. What an awesome day with clear blue skies. Remember it like it was yesterday. £25 a ticket and re-live the memories more and more as I get older. I too sing and drink along like you guys. Thanks for the clip
Some background on this concert: Live Aid was a relief effort for a massive famine in Ethiopia. There was this concert in London (about 72,000), another in Philadelphia (100,000), all broadcast around the world throughout the day and night to an audience of nearly 2 billion. It featured almost every major act at that time and each group was given 20 minutes. Queen totally stole the show (and you just saw why). Nearly 35 years later and it's still considered the greatest live rock and roll set of all time. Deservedly so. Oh, and random note: The second song, Radio GaGa? That's where Lady Gaga got her name from.
Apparently after their set, Bowie was backstage and told Freddie, "You spoiled it for everyone." They raised the bar that night.
@@rockhero2274 They had a golden opportunity to do "Under Pressure" with David Bowie. He took the stage right after them. But for some reason Queen and/or David Bowie didn't want to do it I guess.
No sir, all proceeds went to Aids research.
@@robertprice6830 Bob Geldolf & Midge Ure organized it for famine relief in Ethiopia. That's why the Live Aid logo is a guitar combined with the African continent. It all started with the charity project Band Aid and the song "Do They Know It's Crhistmas?" in 1984 to raise money. Then Michael Jackson and many artists did USA For Africa "We Are The World" in the spring of 1985. Then it all culminated in the summer of 1985 with the Live Aid concerts to raise money for famine relief in Africa.
@@qthelost I believe We Are The World was recorded in the winter not spring. It was shorty after the Grammys or the American Music Awards.
Nobody could control the audience the way Freddie did...rip bro..
He was the only man who could make an entire stadium explode he was just so amazing.
Ironically this popped up on my to watch list Lol and today is JULY 13TH! 34yrs ago today was Live-Aid #Queen #Live-Aid #FreddieMercury💕💕
I remember watching Live aid with my mum i was 9 she was a big fan & i was mezmerised by him im now 43 & still in awe of him..Miss you Freddie 😢❤❤❤
I was 4 months pregnant with my second son at this time, Freddie was magical he just lit up the whole arena. Queen has been my band since 1974 when I saw them on TV singing "Seven Seas of Rhye" and I just fell in love and have been that way ever since. BTW we called Freddie's penis "The Bulsara Bulge" it was the fifth member of Queen, lol.
Joanne Darley I swear, The Bulsara Bulge should have had its own microphone! 😂😂
@@imweakfordeaky Ha ha...you're so right.
I’m Weak For Deaky 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
BTW-The concert started at 12noon London time (7am US)
Queen came on at 6:41pm with a well-rehearsed 20 min set. They were asked if they would return to close the show at 9:48pm with a song from their previous album titled “Is this the World We Created” becz the concert organizers thought it was appropriate.
If i had a time machine this is where I'd go back to
