  • One of the greatest performances in the history of Rock... With restored intro by comedians Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith. Set: 01:43 - Entrance 02:13 - "Bohemian Rhapsody" 04:21 - "Radio Ga Ga" 08:29 - "Aye-Oh" 09:12 - "Hammer to Fall" 13:44 - "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" 17:39 - "We Will Rock You" 18:57 - "We Are the Champions" 22:37 - "The End Of Rock Music As We Knew It" UNTIL NOW: (Short version: "Help stamp out 'Clickety-clap'! Get REAL music here: evetsocrates.bandcamp.com/ )
    Long Version: I see a lot of people saying they miss freddie, or george, or bowie, or they want the '80s back! And that's great, people wanting that Spirit to come back again! Also, because I myself have always been suffused with that same spirit! If you're looking for that quality of music, you'll find it here on my bandcamp: evetsocrates.bandcamp.com/
    Going to, buying, sharing, listening, and talking about this music you will be helping reawaken and share that Spirit again. As a profuse, demiurgic person, with over 1,200 songs written and recorded (yes simply look on my website for the list, www.evetsocrates.com), I have always continued to promote that creative healthy awakened spirit! If you're tired of that constant 'Clickety-clap' and want to hear something with substance, people playing actual instruments, please go to and share my bandcamp music. Rock on!
    Miss you Freddie, David, Georgio, Stuart, Diana, Vangelis, Eddie, Prince, Neil, and All! "Keep those fires burning"!

    A Special THANK YOU to Brian May and QUEEN for allowing this clip to remain (when the other Live Aid sets I posted with it were removed.) Only mistake on this version was lack of noise reduction on the intro, and also at the time I didn't know the movie was being made! LIVE AID STILL ROCKS my world through and through, and if the planet can ever 'Rock' like that again, I'll be there! "The Show Must Go On..!"

I remember watching all day but Queen stood out and I knew something special was happening because the crowd was so into it compared to the other acts. I always made sure not go to the bathroom when the American feed would switch to what was happening over in London, they had most of the acts I wanted to see lol.

      What’s funny is it’s been said that before they went on stage Freddie Mercury was worried that the people in the audience wouldn’t be people who were Queen fans. It didn’t take long for him to realize he was wrong. (Just listen to the crowd go wild when they introduced them.) Not only that, seeing everyone participate in the song Radio Ga Ga was absolutely CRAZY!!

      Check out their Wembley show from 1986. I saw Queen live in the US four times and the video of that show is the most pumped I'd ever seen them. They came out on fire and stayed on fire. Live Aid was twenty minutes on a shared stage. Great for what it was but in no way a full show.

      @@philglass295 Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters said that his very first concert was Queen. The poor guy also said that everything was downhill from there. Queen came to play I can tell you that. Louder than Metallica, Van Halen or KISS but they never sounded muddy or cluttered. And Fred was the show. I've always said Mick Jagger is a rooster that struts around and makes you look at him because of all his yelling (disclaimer, I love Mick exactly for that reason). Where Freddie was a peacock who could care less if you looked at him or not. Thing was, you couldn't take your eyes off the guy. Freddie acted like as if he was saying "if you don't look at me, it's your loss". He was the best frontman I have ever seen.

I would have loved to have theses memories, taped and shared here for the others who were too young or didn't have the chance to see theses shows themselves. Not for the likes and clouts but to share my love of music. Imagine all the shows we didn't get to see. Many were recorded or broadcasts but many more weren't.

    I was at live aid and what makes this so special is that Queen have choreographed a concert into a 20 minute slot. Most other acts from the Who to Paul Mccartney just played a set of four of five songs and went off for the next act. What Queen did was to play the audience with a musical operetta of their hits and with such great showman to do it. It really did lift the crowd and you can see that. Its a masterclass in how to fill 20 minutes of rock music. I doubt any other band would or could do it but that it was makes Freddie so special.

      Absolutely!! I have watched soooo very many live concerts. I honestly, in over 40 years worth, I have not found a Better of even comparable set done, by any band, individual, ... yes, the BEST! I really don't think it can or ever will be topped. You just cannot!

    Freddie Mercury's vocal play with the crowd would have to be the greatest single, individual moment in Rock and Roll history.
    And Queen themselves...what can you say?
    Four individuals who together became one of the greatest bands to ever grace the planet.

      In the behind the scenes, he mentioned that he studied videos of the performance so many times, so that he mimicked the entire thing. Rami Malek deserved his Golden Globe and Oscar. No one else could've done anything close to what he did.
