Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was at Live Aid in 1985. I remember that performance. Being in the audience, it was electric. Freddie and Queen owned that stadium and the concert for those minutes. Here we are 37 years later praising a 22 minute performance. Why? Because it was Epic. So glad I had the privilege to be there. That is a treasure for life.

I was there, not too far from the front right of the stage. The U2 performance was incredible, but the crowd were leaping up and down with there U2 banners, which was a little scary! Then Queen came out, and it was completely different. Never before or since have I seen a band, or a performer take control of a crowd like that. Everyone was hung on every note, every word, and Freddy had us all in in the palm of his hand - as you can see in the video. I'm not sure if it was charisma or something else, but it was another whole level of entertainment. Unforgettable.

I saw Queen four times in the 80s - the Live Aid performance was a snippet of how they ALWAYS performed. Mercury is a legend: he invigorated the audience from the moment he walked on stage to his final bow. The songs were anthemic, often amusing and there was rarely a song performed by the band that the audience didn't love. And here's another reason why the Queen shows worked - Brian May made sure his guitar rifts could be sung along to, so that with Mercury's engagement with the audience and May's singalong guitar solos, there was never a pause or excuse NOT to be involved. Pure magic.

Queen practiced and practiced and practiced to time everything down to the second in their 20 minute set. Roger Taylor keep the whole band synched to a mind blowing level with the drum lead. The band as a whole really knew timing and synchronization extremely well. And then there's Freddy. What an amazing showman and singer he was. You didn't just watch him. The audience became an integral part of the show. Queen is what professional artistry truly means.

As a young student I camped out all night in the streets of Manchester with hundreds of others to get tickets for me and my sister to Live Aid in Wembley and it was truly one if the best and most unforgettable days of my life! I still get shivers...The atmosphere was electric from start to finish & all the performances were amazing but Queen stood out as absolutely outstanding! Freddy was so totally in his element- it was incredible. I always love hearing their performance being referred to as the greatest live rock performance of all time... and I'm thrilled I was there to witness that bit of history in the making!!🤩

It was a great day, I was there. It was up and down depending on the artists. There were so many, coming on, singing one or two tunes, some surprised us, some disappointed us and then Queen happened!!! It truly blew us all away. Everyone, and there was a huge selection of varying fans there, came together. We were the centre of the universe for about 15 minutes!
