I was one of the 72.000 people in the stadium and after all these years, every time I watch it, I still get emotional
He held a microphone in one hand, and the world in the other!!
When Freedie left the stage after their set. David Bowie said to him thanks Freddie how the Fuck am I supposed to follow that.
What’s most impressive is this isn’t a Queen crowd, but it became one.
For 21 minutes in 85 England was ruled by a different Queen.
If you ever feel sad or angry, remember people had to perform after this
I dont care that im 14 and my generation’s stereotype is what it is, im always going to love 70s music and queen
Yeah, I too was there....... Many years later watching the London Olympics closing when Queen performed and they played a tape of Freddie playing with the crowd, and the live crowd responded, my wife just quietly said " Oh my God, he can even do it when he's dead"
Queen didn’t just rule England for 21 minutes. They rule the world FOREVER
What gets me is when Freddie says "all right" and the crowd responds with "all right" and he smiles because he didn't expect that.
I was 24 living in Dallas Texas when I watched this concert live. Queen was the stuff of dreams and fairytale. God bless Freddie Mercury’s soul for bringing so much joy to our lives.
OK I'm old, I saw Queen live 5 times. Live Aid, to this day it's the largest concert ever held. It was in aid to raise money for the Ethiopian Famine in the early 1980's. 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 be the 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 I had fought along side in a 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 one of the two worst memories I have. 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.
I like the face of a proud dad introduced his son to Queen.
The best thing about his absolute control over that entire audience is that it wasn’t even his audience necessarily. They didn’t all go there to specifically see queen. But queen is what we all remember. That’s epic.
I was there in that crowd. Queen were the absolute highlight of the whole concert. Freddie lifted the atmosphere from low to ecstatic in 15 seconds, it was electric. I'll never forget it. I only bought the ticket to see Bowie, then I discovered it was a whole day. 🥳
I was 16 during Live Aid. The concert started at 8pm here in Australia, and I sat in front of the TV for about 15 hours waiting for Queen to come on and I was not disappointed. It's 30 years since Freddie died and not seeing Queen live in person is still my greatest regret in my concert viewing life.
It was cool of queen to let all them bands play at their concert
Not a Queen concert, not a Queen audience , so to have 72,000+ people singing, swaying and clapping in unison is remarkable and shows just how incredible and talented Queen were. Lucky enough to see them at Wembley a year later. Great reaction.
I remember this, the other bands came out and played a couple of tunes, almost half heartedly. You almost could see Bob Geldof twisting their arms behind their backs. Then Queen came on and treated it like a paying gig, gave their all and left the stage. The rest, as they say, is history......
Fun fact. The Sound Engineer at Live Aid in UK show was a dear friend of Freddie & Queen. He engineered the sound system fully to certain specifications. He also the sound board. Per Queen's request he had a switch taped off. When Queen took the stage he flipped the switch no one knew about except for him & Queen...to make Queen the loudest band at the event! True story!!
