Live Aid was a duel-venue concert held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium, in London (72,000 people), and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (100,000) that was held to raise funds for Ethiopia which was experiencing a 2-year drought. It was broadcast worldwide to an audience of 1.9 BILLION people. There were over 75 acts that performed in 20-minute slots. Queen stole the show.
Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star.
“Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time because they could connect with an audience.”
That kiss was for his mother watching at home.
Oh I didn’t know that thanks for the correction 👍🏾
Freddie had laryngitis the week before the concert and his doctor recommended that he cancel his appearance and rest his voice. He ignored the advice and went on to make rock history even though he later said it was like singing with shards of glass in his throat. It was his Mom he was blowing a kiss to. His parents were frequently at his performances, but due to the heat and the size of the crowd they elected to watch from home. It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational.

Woah I didn’t knew he had laryngitis but I’m glad that his voice sound mighty great like nothing had happened but exactly when they made their own concert jam packed Queen knew it would be an excellent concert they ever did & it’s one of their best performances of the century 💯
Queen was the kings of the universe. Freddie Freddie Freddie, there are not enough words to explain how great Freddie was.
R.I.P. FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
The WHOLE WORLD in the palm of his hands .
He is the greatest Legend that ever hit this planet .
And the most BEAUTIFUL Soul.
Freddie is the goat of Queen 🐐💯
👍💕
There was 72,000 in Wimbledon concert and 89,484 in the Philadelphia concert. They were shown simultaneously with world wide TV coverage. They didn't decide till the last minute to do the show. Queen rehearsed over and over with a big clock to get the timing exactly right. Each performer had 20 mins. There were 75 acts between both shows.
Wow that sounds interesting, thanks for giving me a trivia about Queen’s live aid concert performance
For 20 minutes another Queen ruled!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧
Of course Queen rocks 🤟🏾
Freddie was asked what was his favourite instrument, he replied, the audience darling….. he rules the crowd.
Yes he does with the palm of his hands 💯
Freddie an Brian come back at the end and sing Is This The World We Created. All of their live performances are worth watching.
Yes it is, Queen will forever be the greatest rock band straight out of the U.K. along with The Beatles
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer My thoughts for the last (far too many!) years. The Beatles revolutionised music in a way we hadn't seen since Mozart, and then Queen took up the Baton. The genius of Queen (which the Beatles didn't quite manage, much as I love them) was that they took very, very complicated studio tracks, and yet gave an almost identical version of them on stage. Someone to Love is the prime example (Montreal 1981 is the best ever!) but all of their live concert performances were almost indistinguishable from the studio version. And that is real, real talent. No autotune or anything! (Same applies to The Beatles too - and they couldn't even hear themselves playing, yet are rock-solid in every live performance!). So yeah, The Beatles and Queen - the two at the top of the tree, and rightly so.
Nothing beats " Somebody to love" Montreal 1981. The crescendo at the end is mesmerising...
Exactly & I must check one out soon to see that one someday
Love your reaction!! I was there!! Was 14 and did not even know who Queen or Freddie was but left a fan. I seriously wish you were there too!! Kinda met Freddie backstage a in real life he was super shy quiet and very very sweet. I think you would have loved meeting him too.
Wow I bet you had a lot of fun at that concert, I wish had a time travel to meet him & Queen in person backstage, they would have been excellent 💯
your so lucky! i’m 14 and i wish i could of gone there! Queen are my favourite band of all time and i would have done anything to have been at any of Queens concerts, but especially Live aid to see bohemian rhapsody, its my favourite song.
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizerwhat I love about Freddie is that he gets the crowd involved as well
@@Nathanrichards1370 yes he sure in the hell did 💯
Watching this it's hard to believe in 6 years later he would be dead. He's a real hero xx
Sad right I wish he was still here with us, him & Queen was a great legend ahead of their time
There will always be something very emotional about Freddie, all of Queen, their music blaring out in old Wembley Stadium 1985 Live Aid and the total connection between them and that huge crowd as 1 moving and swaying in unison to it all. Moments in time that unity really did exist.
It's great that you are enjoying QUEEN, but remember the reason for the concert, as one world we can't let it happen again
Right cause Queen’s concert was the greatest concert in world history & it could never be anything like that no more & it was well exciting 💯
I meant the starving people of Ethiopia and that should never happen again
Oh my bad & nope it shouldn’t have 🙅🏾♂️
I have watched this concert so many times and watched it the day it happened, everyone did. Every time I watch this show I feel like I am there in the audience. When Freddie blows a kiss during Bohemian Rhapsody, that is for his mom who never liked that song because it made her sad. His mom and sister came to almost all Queen's shows in London. His mom continued to support Queen and its members even after Freddie died. Jer was like the "Band Mom." Brian and Roger would be sure to invite her to everything that was in her local area and she would usually want to go. This particular copy of this concert cuts off the end of "Champions" which is disappointing but the rest of the show is great. Thank you for reacting to this great set.
You’re welcome & since I react to it now, I’ll watch it some of the days whenever I am in a great mood to jam to it since it became my new #1 favorite concert of Queen & it’s mighty great 🤟🏾💯
Queen was the whole band NOT just Freddie. No matter who wrote a song it was credited to the whole band. Freddie was not a dancer, he used his boxing steps
You’re right & I wholeheartedly agreed on that one 💯
Why do you sound irritated? Cut the kid some slack. Damn
There were 72,000 in Attendance, 1.9 BILLION watching from around the world. That was 1/4 of the world at that time.
Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection.
Live aid made $24 million for famine in Africa. That was a lot of money back then.
That sure was & the way Freddie was singing throughout his concerts it sounded like nothing was wrong with him but great as ever as he can be
👍💕
The movie is just a move, not a documentary . All false facts.
I loved your reaction . Thank you very much❤
You’re welcome 👍🏾
I had the same reaction the first time I heard “Hammer to Fall”.
😂😂😂
FUN FACT, UP TO THAT POINT, (BEFORE QUEEN TOOK THE STAGE) THE PHONES FOR THE DONATIONS FOR THE LIVE AID WERE NOT REALLY RINGING AND COLLECTING AS THEY HOPED!! AFTER QUEEN'S PERFORMANCE THE PHONES STARTED RINGING OFF THE HOOK AND THEY COLLECTED RECORD DONATIONS!!
I know everybody went wild after they saw the performance of Queen 😂
Also a early Masterpiece is for me "Liar", 1974, Live at the Rainbow.
1.1 Billion with a B watched this concert including me! They ruled the stage! Give you a perspective, CZcams gets 1.9 billion views a MONTH!!! He was sick with laryngitis and his Dr advised him not to perform. David Bowie followed him and he said, HOW IN THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THAT! The other bands were pissed cuz Queen left it all on the stage! Thank you for appreciating the music of my generation!❤ prince Charles and Princess Dianna were in attendance, I have always heard the kisses he was blowing were to her.
Ace, you always have the best reactions. You made this old lady very happy today. Thank you! 😎
Thanks Alice & I’ll continue to make you more happy by posting more reaction videos of great songs I love & react to the ones that I haven’t heard before
Thank you for reacting to Queen, and that more Queen would be heaven!😊
You’re welcome & Queen rocks to the core 🤘🏾💯
Aww, when you starting doing that part with the crowd after Radio Gaga, yep, same! Every time
Ikr ever since I watch him sing that song to the audience this song has been my favorite ever since & it’s the best damn song by Queen in my honest opinion 💯
I adore you and your obvious love of great music! ❤
Thank you Nancy 😃👍🏾
Loved your great reaction - just a shame you had the misfortune (along with other recent reactors) to pick the version that cut the last few bars of "We Are The Champions". We fans hope that one day this particular version will disappear! By the way, don't know if you realise that Freddie and Brian came back right at the end of the concert to sing "Is This The World We Created". It does appear on a separate video though, if you want to look it up.
Wow I didn’t knew that & I hate they edited out that performance but I’ll go & see it for myself
Very upsetting. There oughta be a law !!!
@@dianecourtney2724 yes it is & I wish it could have been left unedited
Greatest vocalist of all time!!
Ikr 💯
This continues to reign as the best, as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for reacting.
Yes it is it’s awesome & you’re welcome 👍🏾
Thank you! Queen made your day and now you’ e made mine! love yr passion and appreciation!
Thanks pal 👍🏾
Ace, that was a great reaction. Thank you from the UK, I have been a Queen fan since 1974.
You’re absolutely welcome Matt 🤝🏾
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer Thanks Ace, PLZ keep Queen going... Montreal concert.. Somebody to love...
Thanks for that suggestion, I’ll do that soon Matt & more Queen reaction we’ll be coming on the way real soon👍🏾
Greatness 😊
Thank you 👍🏾
I love watching you watch these. You have a lot of joy and it brings me joy!
Yes I do buddy Queen rocks 🤘🏾💯
Yooo Ace! Good to see you bro! Thanks for the excellent upload!
Good to see you to & appreciate it buddy 👍🏾
Love your reaction! You share the sheer excitement and respect we all have for Queen, the greatest rock band of all time. Hopefully you’ll react to many more of their great songs and performances. One of my favorites is ‘White Queen’ performed in 1975 at the Christmas performance Hammersmith Odeon show on December 24. The song was written by guitarist Brian May about a girl in his college class. He longed to speak with her but was so painfully shy, he never had the courage to approach her.
Keep up the great work! Looking forward to your next reactions😁
I’ll react to it very soon & thank you plus more Queen reactions coming your way 👍🏾
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer
Sounds great😍
Do One Vision then another one bite the dust and also love of my life Wembley 86
I’ll do them very soon, thanks for that great recommendation 👍🏾
Freddie had too much class to break his guitar. He was a good enough performer that he had the audience in the palm of his hand without having to resort to such a childish thing.
Absolutely & he definitely knows how to control an audience 💯
Love your reaction.
Thanks Janet 👍🏾
It was Roger Taylor who wrote this song - Radio Gaga. Fantastic!! Love Freddie & the band, so sad he's passed away😥😥😥😥
I didn’t knew that thanks for telling me that & yes he died untimely at a young age
Thanks, Ace! i wasn't at this concert.. but I was privileged to see them three times as a teenager and 20-yr old... He was all of this and more at EVERY concert.. but I hope you also notice the rest of the BAND.. it wasn't Freddie & some back-up group.. each of those boys were incredibly talented and wrote #1 hits... Fred would not have been the star that he was without them all! (p.s. some of those crazy high notes are Roger Taylor, the drummer - Brian not only on guitar, but also sang a lot of harmony) Look forward to more reactions!... also, sorry you got the "cut-=off" version of this.. there is also an encore.. just Freddie & Brian singing "the world we created".. it's beautiful and en point for the theme of this concert.. czcams.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/video.html
You’re right & wow I gotta check this one out & I hate they cut that part out of this concert, thank you & more reactions of Queen will be coming your way 👍🏾 💯
I love your reaction video so entertaining😊
Thanks homie 👍🏾
Great reaction!! ❤✌️
Thanks Kiersten 👍🏾
Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 66 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: They had just completed a Tour a month b4. So, they went & rented a Stadium to practice the performance. He ended up with a Throat Infection & the Doctor highly recommended he not do it bc he might lose his musical ability. He said no! Can you tell he had a severe throat infection? Most people think he was drinking booze from the cups bc on the piano. He’s drinking Honey & Tea. His command of the Audience was more than coincidence it was miraculous. Considering there were so many people there the sound was getting absorbed through them. So the people @ the back we’re following his hand gestures bc the actual sound hadn’t even reached them b4 the next sound was coming @ them. Go back & watch what his hands are doing & what the Audience is doing. NEXT: Radio Gaga is celebrating Radio bc M-TV is just getting started. LADY GAGA was a huge Freddie Fam growing up, so That was where she came up with HER STAGE NAME! You have to listen to the words to really understand the meaning. Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person!
NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience.
NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”! (Can’t you just see that!?).
NEXT FREDDIE’s VOICE. HE HAD 4 extra teeth so that’s the reason he had such an overbite. He had the ability to naturally flow from Octave to Octave. It was a natural progression, for him.
SCIENTIFICALLY: Test were done on his Voice. He was able to use his Throat muscles on either side of his vocal cords. Which is normally seen in some Opera Singers. His Vocal Range was from Low Bass F, to High Soprano F! They were extremely surprised to find out that he could go from about 92Hz to 784Hz, effortlessly! See ACTUAL REPORT BELOW:
nyone who has listened to a Queen track knows that Freddie has a unique ability that still has not been truly replicated since. His ability to blend highs, lows and mid range notes cohesively and with immense precision. This skill was due to the fact that Freddie was able to create faster vibrato and harmonics than any other singer at the time. Not only this, he was able to shift through registers effortlessly. Although he naturally held a baritone voice, he primarily sang as a tenor and of course had no problem then shifting into soprano parts. One study on Freddie’s vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves!
LAST FUN FACT: His Lead Guitarist is playing on a Guitar he & his Father made. When he first starting to learn they were too poor to afford a high end guitar. So, they just made one! The included some “extras” that would normally have to be separate instruments to get all those features (think Concerts when you see guitarist changing Guitars depending on the Song….that’s why he didn’t)!
I’m sorry to take up your Valuable Time, and I thank you. You need anymore Trivia I’m your G’Ma go to. My Brain is full, especially with music, & believe it or not Sports!
(When he is waving his arm it is to tell the cameramen which way he is going bc he’s moving around so much. And, “We Will Rock You”, is actually a Prelude to “We Are The Champions”. It is actually all 1 Song!)
LEAD GUITARIST: Brian May’s family couldn’t afford a Guitar so he & his Dad made it from an old Cabinet. Because they were making it there are a lot of extra features that he wanted. It is truly a “one of a kind”!
You’re straight but I actually did had fun while watching Queen’s live aid concert & thank you for the information about Queen’s live aid concert 👍🏾
If you want to hear a feel good song, you should listen to Don't stop me now from Queen
I’ll check that one out very soon, thanks for that recommendation 👍🏾
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer and if you want to hear Freddie singing opera you should listen Exercise in free love
I’ll check that out also too 💯
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thanks for Love ❤️👍🏾
Hammer to fall was written by the guitar hero - - Brian May. Better than any other band in the world - some say. The concert were the best rock concert - ever - has not been surpassed. - They had not their own sound system, no lights - no costumes as they used to - they only had the stage and their instruments. -and they only had 20 minutes as had everybody else. There was this concert in -Wembley with 72.000 in the audience and 100.000 at JFK stadium in Philadelphia - with screens so it was possible to see what happened at the other venue - and time to change stage. All the rest of us sat at home and saw it on television via 13 satellites - an estimate of 1.9 billion viewers all over the world - I was in Denmark. The purpose was to get money (Live AID) to the famine in africa. I guess that others have written about it - but you got the "wrong" version - use Queen's official version - that is not cut - and will never be blocked - they want us to listen to their music 🤩. Thank you for a good reaction - I enjoyed it. And remember to listen to 9.48 pm!! There is not such thing as Freddie Mercury and Queen - - Queen is a band of 4 musicians - . There still is Queen but Freddie died and John left the musicbusiness, but Roger and Brian still play as Queen with 3 other musicians - a drummer, a bass player and Spike Edney on keys. He was the 5.th Queen - he was backstage playing the piano to make it possible for Freddie to perform front stage. He was there at Live Aid. Brian and Roger did a few gigs - and they made soloalbums with themselves as lead singers and then they met Paul Rodgers and toured around the world with him for 2-3 years as Queen+ Paul Rodgers. And they thought that Queen was over - but was contacted by many friends who had heard a young guy called Adam Lambert in American Idol. They were invited to play We are the champions with the two finalists - Adam was the runner op - - they had good chemistry - and after a year they went touring - now for 12 years for sold out venues all over the World - Starting in Ukraine in front of 300.000!! There is no voice like Adam's and he is capable to sing the songs - And he is not Freddie - and does not try to but he has the stage magnetism . A lot of Freddie lovers hate Adam - - those who have seen the shows have never seen anything like it. You can taste it by seeing Q+AL at the Isle of Wight festival 2016 performing "Who wants to live forever" dedicated to the victims of a mass shooting the night before. As it says in "Hammer to fall": "just surrender and it won't hurt at all" . They tour North America this fall.
There's no option to send you a private message, so I decided to dm you here. First of all thank you for letting us know about your asperger's syndrome! I'm sure there are many people with this illness being so happy about your sincerity. I'm German, I don't have Asperger, but I'm working for an organisation that cares about these people. Let me recommend you a French movie I saw a couple of years ago, with this topic. Original Frech title is "Le goût des merveilles ", German title is "Birnenkuchen mit Lavendel". I hope you have the chance to watch it with English dubbing or subtitles. It's such a wonderful movie, playing in the French area of "Provence", so subtle, approaching the Asperger's syndrome topic so beautilly - you have to watch it!
Well it’s not an illness it’s a disability & thank you for recommending this movie, I’ll have to look that up on the internet to check it out
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer Sorry for using the wrong term, Sir! I'm sure you will love this movie as much as I do!
You’re good & will do buddy 👍🏾
Elvis was Freddie’s idol was a tribute to Elvis
Wow I didn’t know that I see why he was doing his little impersonation of Elvis while singing a crazy little thing called love at that piano
Please please react to Somebody To Love live Montreal...ranked as the second best live performance with Live Aid ranked as the best in musical history❤️👑🥁🎸🎹🎤
I’ll do that soon & I got to check that one out, thanks for that recommendation 👍🏾💯
I'm just here to listen to my dude talk! Lol
😂
@@acetheautisticroyalnirgizer , that wasn't an insult. I like how you really get into watching a great band. It's good to see people who are new to music that they don't usually listen to, really enjoy something new. I like your enthusiasm. Great reaction! Please do more Queen reactions. 🙏
I know you’re straight man & more Queen reactions will be coming your way soon buddy but thanks 👍🏾
he was told not to sing by his doctor as he had a throat infection!!!!!
I heard that & he still sounds amazing at that concert like nothing never wrong with his voice at all
Their best concerts, are Wembley, july 12th 1986, the best ever, and during the same tour, in Hungary, Budapest 1986....Peace from France bro 😂(the version of "Hammer to fall", at Wembley July 12th, 1986, is just PHENOMENAL BRO😂
