    Live Aid was a charity event to raise money for the famine in Africa. Each artist was given a 20 min set to perform. Queen took this opportunity very seriously and practiced a week or two to get the 20 min set perfect. They even had a giant clock in the rehearsals!! Queen blew everybody away and to this day this performance is considered the best in rock history considering the event circumstances. Over 72,000 were there & over a billion people watched around the world. Queen was amazing & said that this was truly Freddie’s day!! The Dr. told Freddie not to perform cuz of the nodules in his throat - the rest is rock history!!! A big shout out to the other members of Queen - Brian May, Roger Taylor, & John Deacon!! Btw, Freddie was bisexual so I’m sure both men & women would’ve gone home with Freddie that day! 🤪 Freddie’s endurance is unmatched .... a normal Queen concert lasted over two hours. Freddie was a boxer - hence the Adidas shoes plus he said they were comfortable!! Queen is one of the best selling bands of all time!!! You should react to NOW I’M HERE live at Wembley 1986. Amazing!!! Great reaction 😁

    That drummer is TOTALLY “doing his thing”. That would be Roger Taylor, and besides those drums, he is the other voice you’re hearing throughout. He has all the high harmonies and was almost clairvoyant at knowing exactly which notes to jump in and cover whenever Freddie’s voice got strained. The entire band was that tight at reading each other’s cues. One more reason that they dominated the live scene.

You must work your way through all the songs recommended & more, such as the live version of ‘Somebody to Love’, Montreal, 1981, ‘Under Pressure’, ‘Save Me’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘One Vision’ & ‘Love of my Life’ both from Wembley, 1986. This is a journey that you will remember for the rest of your life, it’s that powerful. Best wishes 👍

He had female lovers before he came out as gay. And all those female lovers (Rosemary Pearson and Mary Austin) said that they broke up bc he was gay. Days Of our Lives documentary is a manipulated by Jim Beach, Queen manager and PR, who still doesn't want to bring up anything about homosexuality. I only count on Freddie's friends including Mary, Brian and Roger. I didn't ask himself since nobody can, but I read all of his friends' books and interviews about him. Try watching "Freddie the untold story" and "Freddie's loves" documentaries. Solid facts. I am not talking about my opinions or the thing I have heard from people who were remotely related to Freddie. And Freddie defined himself as gay, I read it from multiple places. Sorry but just facts, nothing else.
      BTW he and Barbara (she wasn't French if you're talking about her) were very close friends and she didn't leave him bc of AIDS, Freddie kicked her out because she was constantly lying about Freddie being in love with herself. Barbara was a liar. Her daughter later confessed it. The thing is Freddie was living in Munich in 83-84 and he had a boyfriend in there Winnie Kirchberger, this is when Freddie met Barbara. Barbara was their friend and their translator, German to English cuz neither Winnie knew english nor Freddie knew German.

    Any Queen live will never disappoint. Unlike most if not all artists, Queen was better than the editing equipment used in studio versions, it actually took away from their talent instead of helping it. Freddie could not stand lip syncing and fought it tooth and nail and ONLY did it when they had to, like for videos. You want a song where all the instruments play your flipping soul? Listen to " White Queen live at the Odeon" It was from the 70's, the instrumental will put you in a trance. Freddie is as of late known as the "Human Auto Tune" on the rare occasion his voice cracked, he still did it in tune 😂😂 He couldn't hand you a bad note if he tried...lol

    Their concert often ran for 2 hours and he sang 20+ songs, running from one end of the stage to the other so everyone in the audience had the best experience possible. His endurance was incredible. He said he had to go into training before they started a tour. The Wembley concert sold 72,000 tickets 2 nights in a row. Freddie needed his tea, tea with lemon and honey, and lemon water to keep his throat functioning. He had trouble with nodules

      Nope, he wasn't. His friends, including Brian, Roger AND Mary has said that he was gay. His sister says in a documentary that he's gay and he didn't need to come out because they already knew, his stylist has said in a documentary, that he lived a gay lifestyle. His personal assistant for 12 years and who lived with him, Peter Freestone, says he was gay. Freddie HIMSELF referred to himself as gay. He's quoted as saying he's as gay as a daffodil. Once his manager told him he was gay and Freddie replied with "So am I!" When he went out, he went to gay clubs and, listen to this, slept with men, not women. I rather listen to the people close to him who loved and knew him instead of mainstream rumors journalists have written. The book by Leslie Ann Jones for example is full of lies.

    Freddie Mercury said some time later that he was only at about 70% strength because of his health. Queen wasn't originally scheduled to play that day. They were added after the event tickets had already been sold. They also didn't want to perform like every other artist or band. Others were only interested in promoting their latest hits or albums. Queen decided to do things a bit differently, which is why they played a lot of older (more familiar) stuff of theirs, except Hammer To Fall. It also explains the simplicity of the stage setup, the lights, and even the way they dressed. They didn't want the performance to be about being flamboyant; they wanted it to be all about the music. The next act to go on stage, after Queen, was the legendary David Bowie. It's noted that as he passed by Queen on his way to the stage, he was upset at how well they had been received by the crowd, and he reportedly said "You bastard! How the f**k am I supposed to follow that?!?!" Queen had just owned the Wembley Stadium crowd of 72,000 people for over 21 minutes, and in doing so, they set the standard for how a music performance was supposed to be done, and all the other acts had to scramble to try to match their intensity.

    We may never see his like again.
    Thankfully we have these videos and these songs to come back to.
    There was a lot of excellent artists at that same concert too. I'd argue that every artist on that roster has at least a handful of hits you'd like.
    Queen is just up in the Pantheon of rock.
    The first song that they played a bit of, Is sometimes regarded as the greatest song ever written. There's a lot of debate around that but I can definitely see why. There's a reason why anytime people hear those opening chords, everyone sings along with "Bohemian Rhapsody".

This was years before CZcams so I had never seen a live Queen performance.
