“I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.” -Freddie Mercury
OMG. Yes. In fact, check back to this comment in 10 years. My name is Fiona Jupiter and have a good night y'all! I am taking this into inspiration and I will keep the Freddie spirit on. Queen fans, I've got your back.
You can't say enough about Freddie at Live Aid. He was wondrous. Golden. Watching live from thousands of miles away on small, one-speaker TV, his charisma, his showmanship and his devotion to give everything he had to that huge crowd shone through. Thanks, Freddie.
Listen to Led Zeppelin. Their live performances were from another world. You won't find two concerts the same from them. They improvised a lot. Do not get me wrong, Queen is very good but LZ is a little better. And Robert Plant could outstand Freddie on high notes(in his early days). But why am i comparing two legends?
Tanner Beckett could you make the best song ever written exactly no your probably gonna make the same song that everyone else does looking at your profile its gonna be rap songs talking about women drugs strippers and money
Queen produced the greatest live performance i have ever seen in my life at "Live Aid" i will never forget it as long as i live. I am guilty of watching it even now on a regular basis, i just cant help it. Just amazing, Freddie Mercury is a God.
I have it on DVD… no use for it now because I don’t have a DVD player but I watched it so many times in the past that it’s sentimental to me! It has a special place on my shelf haha

Queen: Live Aid 1985 is hands down the best live performance I've ever seen! Freddie was born to make people happy! And he did it that day in 1985! Incredible tallent. Never see his like again!
So, what's your favorite instrument to play? Jimi Hendrix: The Guitar Paul McCartney: The Bass John Bonham: The Drums Bruce Springsteen: Vocals Daft Punk: A Dell Sid Vicious: What you got on you? Freddie Mercury: The audience, darling.
John Entwistle was bass monster; Paul's just a famous bassist and great composer; Entwistle was monster on bass, wayyyyyy beyond Paul; quite obviously so.
Queen live Aid 1985 will never passed, Freddy Mercury had those 72,000 singing along, and he had a billion watching it on TV singing along as well. For half an hour Queen controlled the world.
There'll never be another like Freddie. He wasn't the first rock star, but man, he perfected it. Freddie was able to hold a funny microphone in one hand, and the audience in his other.
Wrath Oranos Totally agree! I watched Live Aid on a live telecast when I was a kid and remember thinking that most of the acts sounded (and looked) like ass. U2's set was great and probably started their rise to fame in other countries, but their performance paled in comparison to Queen's. Freddie Mercury had the crowd eating out of his hand in a performance that sent chills down my spine (and I was watching on TV, I can't imagine being there)! That set was a truly epic display of showmanship and talent that is rarely seen.
One Goat I hate to quibble because I also think Queen deserve to head this list. However, at Live Aid Queen were allowed to cut to their video of Bohemian Rhapsody because they could not have achieved Tue multiple vocal effects live. They started and ended live but the middle section was recorded. But they were still the best act of Live Aid. In my opinion, Dire Straits should have been included in this list.
I was there at Live Aid US on the East coast. The reaction when Queen took the stage was just as huge even though it was only on the big screen and not in person. Freddy Mercury will forever be a Rock God!
Mercury is a legend. The others are good of course, but he brought the audience right into the performance. The world lost an amazing talent when he passed.
I was working in a bar in Ft. Lauderdale & we had Live Aid playing on the tvs... when Queen started Radio Ga Ga...we all just froze & watched it unfold. Man, what a Showman Mercury was! The band was at the time considered a "70s" band & were not as popular as some of the other acts of the time. They blew EVERYONE away with that show...
Was this MTV? I don’t remember them broadcasting that performance live. In the US, it seems like they were giving preference to whoever was playing in Philadelphia at the same moment.
Yess!! They were freaking incredible and I remember the day watching that and they just blew everybody out of the water even though U2 gave a good performance and so did Duran Duran. Some of the bands that I expected to be the best really weren't but I didn't think that Queen would have anything less than awesome of a performance because they always gave 150% and they wouldn't stand for less than that. They were the same four original members and they all wrote different kinds of songs and genius is at their craft and when you have three science majors with two Doctorate Degrees and electronics engineer bassist along with Freddie Mercury degree and graphic illustration and Design, there you have it. It should have never worked because Freddie Mercury was so camp but Freddie, Rooger, and Brian we're close friends when they were going to the university. Freddie was best friends with Tim staffell, who had been the lead singer of SMILE, along with Brian and Roger. As as a matter of fact, the three of them were roommates from 1968 until Freddie moved in with Mary Austin in 1970. The cost of living was so high there and Brian Rodger and Freddie were so poor that the three of them shared a large efficiency apartment. They were going to college and working little odd jobs and smile had some music gigs going on, but the band wasn't really going anywhere. Freddie Mercury kept telling them you guys are good but you should do this and you should do this and his best friend Tim wasn't going to do that because he wasn't like Fred. Tim said he loved Freddie as a best friend, and he admired Freddie for doing what he did, but that he would never have felt comfortable doing what Freddie did. There was some talk about Freddie Mercury joining SMILE when Freddie Mercury was lead singer for IBEX/ Wreckage- but Brian was saying no no no. Freddy is excellent on the piano and excellent vocalist but there's no way that Tim is going to do what Freddie wants like an actual performance because it wasn't Tim's Style. After about 18 months Tim left the band to go play for humpybong 😂 Brian and Rodger we're just going to throw in the towel and give up and that's when Freddie Mercury was there Catalyst and said no no no guys you can't give up! You've got to keep working hard for what you want and if you need to lead singer I will sing with you and you can do your thing and I'll do my thing. it worked except they didn't find a good enough bass player until after going through 6 and they finally got John Deacon when he was 19 in 1971, and that was the final Queen band. Freddie Mercury was John Deacon's mentor, and helped him a lot with writing and even singing after about six years because John Deacon just didn't feel comfortable singing. it was not until about the time news of the world came out in 1977 that John finally felt comfortable singing back around with the rest of the guys but he wasn't the vocalist that Brian and Rodger were at all but he could still sing quite well. I wanted to hear his voice more and there's a RUclips video with John Deacon singing; and he was singing harmony with Freddie in a concert, and I was actually amazed because he sounded great. John also made that special amplifier that could make Brian's guitar sound like an orchestra or anything he wanted to do with it. I'm sure they still use it today in addition to that John Deacon was there business manager pretty much because he handled all of their business and financial matters from 1975 on because he was good with money and figures. is anybody had a question about how much they paid in taxes as well as how many crew members they were paying the band members would look over and point to John and say, "you would have to ask him." John was saying he didn't exactly know but he thought there were about 35 people that toured with them that were there set up crew and their Roadies. in the studio they did work with other people like Reinhold Mack. he was an actual genius sound engineer and they started working with him around 1980 and he and Freddie Mercury became so close they were like family and Mack named his son Freddie Mack and Freddie was the baby's Godfather. I just love that name Freddie Mack because it sounds so cool. Freddie Mercury was also Godfather to Mary Austin's oldest son Richard. Freddie Mercury spoiled those kids & sent them giant sized teddy bears and toys, in addition to calling Reinhold Mack to ask them what they were feeding the baby and Reinhold said that Freddie Mercury was more meticulous about what the baby ate than his own mother.😂😂😂
@Oh Trooper they are my favorite band but there is a lot of people who are just hopping on the band wagon because it’s trendy but if you are a real fan and you can name a lot more songs than the ones that are just on the bohemian rhapsody soundtrack then I have respect for you ✊
Michael Jackson's live concert in Bucharest was watched all over the world too. I'm totally fine with Queen being first, because their Live Aid performance was iconic as hell! Michael should've been on the list though
RIGHT! Queen at Live Aid gave us the absolutely best performance .. . 20 minutes of music plus interaction with those there in Wembley AND across the world seeing it all on TV. Their music and performing still 'fresh' entertainment these many, many years later. . . . Love them; tears for Freddie.
I 'm 64 From E- Van.BC, Been going to Rock concerts since the 60's, seen many of the greats Led Zep. 4 X, Deep purple 2 X, Johnny Winter, The Who, The Stones, Beach Boys, The Boss, Eagles, Heart ...and a ton more ... Without a doubt in my mind Freddy Mercury and the Queen band at Farm Aid was and most likely will always by far be the greatest live ROCK performance of ALL TIME. The positive feedback loop Freddy and the band created with the audience was mesmerizing ...It was like they were all one entity joined in an upward spiral of pure musical ecstasy ...just for me watching it, I can feel the beautiful energy ... I just watched the Bohemian Rhapsody movie last night ...and I'm still tingling ...peace...
Qeeuns performance still gets shivers. How can one tiny man excite such a crowd in a positive way. It looks as if he is singing in his kitchen. What a performer. Sadly died much too young. Respect!
“Hey Freddie , good luck stealing the show, U2 and zeppelin both performed already today”............Freddie turns around and winks. Watch and learn baby. Watch and learn.
John Sneddon Totally agree! Freddie stole the show. I know this concert put Queen back on the map, but can't help but think the Queen gig in 86 was even better.
babyshambles93 I agree with all three statements. 1. Freddie stole the Live Aid crowd with his unmatched showmanship. 2. This show started a massive World stadium tour for the band. 3. The show at Wembley in '86 was a perfect show. Period. Keep in mind... This was not a Queen audience. This was a festival. The lineup was pretty damn good and diverse. www.philbrodieband.com/muso-live-aid-85.htm
AYYYY OHHHH!! The greatest had to be filled by the GOAT of frontmen. You can just tell Freddie was in a zone few get to that night. As Brian May says about it "We played ok but Freddie took it to a whole other level." 72000 in the palm of his hand.
not just London, EVERY stadium that had a live feed was entranced by Freddie.... he literally had the ENTIRE world in the palm of his hand for 20 minutes. Fitting it is called "20 minutes that changed music history"
metallica in moscow 1991... over 500,000 people crowded an entire city in the last years of the USSR i mean cmon dude i’m not even a huge fan of them but that shit is wayyy underrated
@@levikulhanek1541 So if someone is too good it bothers you. Queen isn't overrated. They are awesome. And how really are they overrated. Just saying cause of the stupid Queen arguments of their fanbase. It wasn't Mercury's fault for having the best song ever written, the best voice ever, the most greatest concerts and events.
@@@knowyourroleboulevard7119 I'm not saying metallica is better than them as a fact but as my opinion and queen is overrated because I don't think their songs are that good and they always get mentioned
Metallica concert was free and it didn't have a bound venue. It's obvious the people were to join. But Wembley Stadium could hold only around 72k people. I'm a fan of both Metallica and Queen But Queen's way of production, Freddie's showmanship and their idea of getting the crowd involved by making the songs like "we will rock you" could've easily made the whole world to sing with them.
I am glad he died because I can not bare to listen to his voice grow old his voice would sound pretty bad concidering he smoked well Roger Taylor did too but his voice already sounded fucked up to begin with
I was just thinking that,imo there is no metallica live performance that can top the one in 89.The only one that get close maybe is one in Moscow in 92 i think.
***** Hey Billy, Speaking of Seattle? I cannot believe these idiots misspelled Foxy Lady... TWICE!!! (Foxey Ain't it) They did say Seattle musician Jimi Hendrix, but fuck 'em anyway... TWICE!!!!!!!
Landon Marshall Excuse me Kind sir do you mind taking your terrible, tasteless attitude elsewhere You disgust me and the entire Queen community. Why you would come to this video just to hate is beyond me, and to comment it on Valentines Day is the Icing on the cake. Go listen to Sid Vicious if you want to be like that
@@itzrubydoobie6590 I'd hardly call it a community. I consider it more of a cult. I don't even think that queen is that bad. However, I do not agree with all of these new ignorant queen fans.
My favorite concert is 1966 Buck Owens and The Buckaroos Live at Carnegie Hall! Great hits from great country star in his prime! Great medleys and fun impersonations. Buck along with Don Rich, Doyle Holly, Willie Cantu, and Tom Brumley are at the top of their game. Everyone should check this out
Yeah I would think the billie jean performance at Motown 25 would be here cause that was legendary and introduced one of the best dance moves THE MOONWALK
Prince had great live shows but they were too funked out for white audiences --- his Super Bowl halftime show is prolly his best one ever for a white crowd --- I also think his 1985 appearance at American Music Awards is pretty legendary
Completely agree. Saw him at the Cow Palace in 1985 during his Purple Rain tour and he was special. Prince should be in the top 10; but as you mentioned, Queen is #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a second I thought they were going to put Queen as an honorable mention. I was ready to find someone and do bad things to them...then I was like, oh, never mind.
There is something in Freddie's voice that changes everything. Not that Brain is not an awesome guitarist or the other members are not remarkable. But there is something in him. A friend, who never hear anything other than really soft and quiet music one day suddenly heard Queen from me and after a few days came back and said there is something in this guy's voice that I can't forget.
Please...Zeppelin IS live music. The fact the did completely different versions of every song, every night and played 3-4 hour shows constantly put them in a league of their own. P.S. Night at the Opera was the 1st album I ever owned so I am being very objective here...I love Queen.
Antoine Gauthier overrated ? Hell no, we will rock you & we are the champions are songs known throughout the world. Bohemian rhapsody wasn’t just good it was phenomenal arguably the greatest rock song. Queen was also extremely diverse & Freddie himself was the best frontman of any rock band (yes even better than Robert plant) his presence on stage was unmatched & the way he got the audience to get involved & Freddie’s incredible vocals cemented queen as the best live band. Queen isn’t overrated their popularity is much deserved. I would say zeppelin is the best rock band but Queen has things it’s better than zeppelin at & things it can match them with.
@@Veggamattic As a punk rock fan, I cannot understand the infatuation with Zeppelin for the life of me. The average punk band outperforms them on any given night, many with better music.
I've watched the entire Queen set off of number one, and I gotta agree, it's pretty intense to see almost the entire audience sing along and such with their songs, def worth the the number one spot! And for the people arguing over the daft punk, I was there, and let me tell you, it was insane, no-one expected it to be good, but the way it was displayed, the way they portrayed the music and entertainment was amazing, if I was high like 90% of the people there I would have blown my mind. Also, the audience that ran to see Daft punk was like a tidal wave, I looked back once, half the field was empty, looked back again and it was as far as I could see of people.
The queen set had a great story behind it too....completely unprepared, fighting backstage, political controversy...but it was a perfect culmination of moments and people...I agree with the #1 too.
It's even better when you realize that those that were there were not all Queen fans. They were there for the entire Live Aid performance which had dozens of bands and singers present. For Mercury to get the entire crowd going the way he did is a testament to his showmanship and the performance.
Some musicians play guitar, some play piano; Daft Punk puts together the sounds of many instruments to make harmony, and beauty, to make music. They surely did make enjoyment for all, is that not what music is for?
Daft Punk does some cool stuff. It's not my favorite thing, but i have fun in my own studio playing with live mixing like that. While i don't put it on the same shelf as instrument musicians, it has it's own thing going on. I'd have fun at a show.
I agree with several of the comments. MJ should be in here. He was lots better than several of the bands listed here in my opinion. HOWEVER, Queen has NO equal. Freddie Mercury was THE GREATEST !! The July 13, 1985 concert is and will always be the greatest live performance ever !!
There is still some people that don't understand the kind of revolution Daft Punk made that night. That was the first time that an artist had that kind of technology and production in a live performance. You can hate their music, but that night America was rocked by the robot duo, achieving for the first time respect to an emerging music genre like electronic. Their spot is very well deserved. Also, long live that day when England was rulled by a different Queen.
You sound like you should be writing the voiceovers! I always liked Daft Punk but I didn’t know that this concert was one of the first (if not THE first) to do something like that, hopefully there’s a full version to watch on RUclips 🙂
@@jaycook6639 That concert of daft punk will always be one of the 10 greatest of all time and the greatest when it comes to revolutionizing the industry of live music

I was there at Live Aid US on the East coast. The reaction when Queen took the stage was just as huge even though it was only on the big screen and not in person.
Freddy Mercury will forever be a Rock God!
Mercury is a legend. The others are good of course, but he brought the audience right into the performance. The world lost an amazing talent when he passed.
CaptainKate757 omg so true..his incredible stage presense and charisma. You couldn't take your eyes off him. Truly mesmerizing.

Good show but can't beat Queen's Freddie Mercury and how he easily controls the crowd.
Queen will never be beat..! They rocked us and they really are the champions!
why I wasn't lucky enough to see Queen live?? Pls someone build a time machine
I was abroad then n live aid in tv was boring till they showed up. Just picture how well the japanese followed...truly magical

Tanner Beckett it was a joke asshole
CocoaPuffKids woooosh
I was working in a bar in Ft. Lauderdale & we had Live Aid playing on the tvs... when Queen started Radio Ga Ga...we all just froze & watched it unfold. Man, what a Showman Mercury was! The band was at the time considered a "70s" band & were not as popular as some of the other acts of the time. They blew EVERYONE away with that show...
What an amazing story! What year was this ?
@@aquablue1252 summer of 85...what a performance..
Im so jealous on you i was'nt even born there😥
Was this MTV? I don’t remember them broadcasting that performance live. In the US, it seems like they were giving preference to whoever was playing in Philadelphia at the same moment.
Queen' Live Aid performance will never be dethroned as the greatest musical performance of all time.
If u have not seen the LIVE AID of queen then your eyes are still virgin
ever seen metallica in moscow'91
not got anything on seattle 89
Yess!! They were freaking incredible and I remember the day watching that and they just blew everybody out of the water even though U2 gave a good performance and so did Duran Duran. Some of the bands that I expected to be the best really weren't but I didn't think that Queen would have anything less than awesome of a performance because they always gave 150% and they wouldn't stand for less than that. They were the same four original members and they all wrote different kinds of songs and genius is at their craft and when you have three science majors with two Doctorate Degrees and electronics engineer bassist along with Freddie Mercury degree and graphic illustration and Design, there you have it. It should have never worked because Freddie Mercury was so camp but Freddie, Rooger, and Brian we're close friends when they were going to the university. Freddie was best friends with Tim staffell, who had been the lead singer of SMILE, along with Brian and Roger. As as a matter of fact, the three of them were roommates from 1968 until Freddie moved in with Mary Austin in 1970. The cost of living was so high there and Brian Rodger and Freddie were so poor that the three of them shared a large efficiency apartment. They were going to college and working little odd jobs and smile had some music gigs going on, but the band wasn't really going anywhere. Freddie Mercury kept telling them you guys are good but you should do this and you should do this and his best friend Tim wasn't going to do that because he wasn't like Fred. Tim said he loved Freddie as a best friend, and he admired Freddie for doing what he did, but that he would never have felt comfortable doing what Freddie did. There was some talk about Freddie Mercury joining SMILE when Freddie Mercury was lead singer for IBEX/ Wreckage- but Brian was saying no no no. Freddy is excellent on the piano and excellent vocalist but there's no way that Tim is going to do what Freddie wants like an actual performance because it wasn't Tim's Style. After about 18 months Tim left the band to go play for humpybong 😂 Brian and Rodger we're just going to throw in the towel and give up and that's when Freddie Mercury was there Catalyst and said no no no guys you can't give up! You've got to keep working hard for what you want and if you need to lead singer I will sing with you and you can do your thing and I'll do my thing. it worked except they didn't find a good enough bass player until after going through 6 and they finally got John Deacon when he was 19 in 1971, and that was the final Queen band. Freddie Mercury was John Deacon's mentor, and helped him a lot with writing and even singing after about six years because John Deacon just didn't feel comfortable singing. it was not until about the time news of the world came out in 1977 that John finally felt comfortable singing back around with the rest of the guys but he wasn't the vocalist that Brian and Rodger were at all but he could still sing quite well. I wanted to hear his voice more and there's a RUclips video with John Deacon singing; and he was singing harmony with Freddie in a concert, and I was actually amazed because he sounded great. John also made that special amplifier that could make Brian's guitar sound like an orchestra or anything he wanted to do with it. I'm sure they still use it today in addition to that John Deacon was there business manager pretty much because he handled all of their business and financial matters from 1975 on because he was good with money and figures. is anybody had a question about how much they paid in taxes as well as how many crew members they were paying the band members would look over and point to John and say, "you would have to ask him." John was saying he didn't exactly know but he thought there were about 35 people that toured with them that were there set up crew and their Roadies. in the studio they did work with other people like Reinhold Mack. he was an actual genius sound engineer and they started working with him around 1980 and he and Freddie Mercury became so close they were like family and Mack named his son Freddie Mack and Freddie was the baby's Godfather. I just love that name Freddie Mack because it sounds so cool. Freddie Mercury was also Godfather to Mary Austin's oldest son Richard. Freddie Mercury spoiled those kids & sent them giant sized teddy bears and toys, in addition to calling Reinhold Mack to ask them what they were feeding the baby and Reinhold said that Freddie Mercury was more meticulous about what the baby ate than his own mother.😂😂😂

No Michael, no Elvis. This list is fundamentally flawed.
RIGHT! Queen at Live Aid gave us the absolutely best performance .. . 20 minutes of music plus interaction with those there in Wembley AND across the world seeing it all on TV. Their music and performing still 'fresh' entertainment these many, many years later. . . . Love them; tears for Freddie.
As much as I love the Beatles, I would hate to go to their concerts because of the screaming girls

Without a doubt in my mind Freddy Mercury and the Queen band at Farm Aid was and most likely will always by far be the greatest live ROCK performance of ALL TIME.
The positive feedback loop Freddy and the band created with the audience was mesmerizing ...It was like they were all one entity joined in an upward spiral of pure musical ecstasy ...just for me watching it, I can feel the beautiful energy ...
I just watched the Bohemian Rhapsody movie last night ...and I'm still tingling ...peace...

Buddy it’s live aid not farm aid
Came here just for Queen. Easily in my opinion the best rock band ever. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John are all geniuses with music.
definitely along with Led Zep
brandon viles AGREED
I think pink Floyd takes the #1 spot. Queen would be 2 or 3 up there with the beetles and led zeppelin
hey its not an opinion it's a fact it's the best band in history of everything
Mickey Serna I really don't like Queen tbh
Led Zeppelin is still Epic. Solid Gold .
Qeeuns performance still gets shivers. How can one tiny man excite such a crowd in a positive way. It looks as if he is singing in his kitchen. What a performer. Sadly died much too young. Respect!

John Sneddon Totally agree! Freddie stole the show. I know this concert put Queen back on the map, but can't help but think the Queen gig in 86 was even better.

I agree with all three statements.
1. Freddie stole the Live Aid crowd with his unmatched showmanship.
2. This show started a massive World stadium tour for the band.
3. The show at Wembley in '86 was a perfect show. Period.
Keep in mind... This was not a Queen audience. This was a festival. The lineup was pretty damn good and diverse.

Yes. That's correct
Queen is a gift from god and the ones that past will never be forgotten rest in piece.
Queen owned that show period.
Queen 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Greatest by a mile.

Definitely, Queen's the best! They've always stoled the show. And this time only with almost twenty minutes.
I think we all new who would be first on this list, its forever gonna be that Queen performance at live aid 1985
Jimi and Freddie, two cool dudes that changed the world
AYYYY OHHHH!! The greatest had to be filled by the GOAT of frontmen. You can just tell Freddie was in a zone few get to that night. As Brian May says about it "We played ok but Freddie took it to a whole other level." 72000 in the palm of his hand.

@@levikulhanek1541 So if someone is too good it bothers you. Queen isn't overrated. They are awesome. And how really are they overrated.

@@@knowyourroleboulevard7119 I'm not saying metallica is better than them as a fact but as my opinion and queen is overrated because I don't think their songs are that good and they always get mentioned
Metallica concert was free and it didn't have a bound venue.
It's obvious the people were to join. But Wembley Stadium could hold only around 72k people.
I'm a fan of both Metallica and Queen
But Queen's way of production, Freddie's showmanship and their idea of getting the crowd involved by making the songs like "we will rock you" could've easily made the whole world to sing with them.
Hands down , without a doubt. the single greatest live performance was Queen at Live Aid. off the chart amazimg.performamce
In my opinion Freddie Mercury is a legend. He had an amazing vocal range and talent. Queen definitely deserved to be #1.
Suspicious Teen agreed. I was devastated when Freddie passed. :(
Amen brother!
I am glad he died because I can not bare to listen to his voice grow old his voice would sound pretty bad concidering he smoked well Roger Taylor did too but his voice already sounded fucked up to begin with
A legend, indeed. Who would doubt that? Most charismatic frontman ever. What a loss.
Jolly Roger yeah well it was a hit and miss
naaah the best metallica concert was Seattle 1989
I was just thinking that,imo there is no metallica live performance that can top the one in 89.The only one that get close maybe is one in Moscow in 92 i think.
It was 91

My favorite concert is 1966 Buck Owens and The Buckaroos Live at Carnegie Hall! Great hits from great country star in his prime! Great medleys and fun impersonations. Buck along with Don Rich, Doyle Holly, Willie Cantu, and Tom Brumley are at the top of their game. Everyone should check this out
Queen is definitely #1,Michael Jackson’s 1988 Bad tour should be mentioned,he sold out wembley stadium 9 times
Mike Smythe queen went a lot more times than mic
No pedos allowed
We should never forget MJ
Yesss! It should be mentioned
Yeah I would think the billie jean performance at Motown 25 would be here cause that was legendary and introduced one of the best dance moves THE MOONWALK
I'm glad that Queen made number 1. A bit sad that Prince didn't make the list. He was phenomenal live.
Prince song cannot be on youtube
Prince live was special
His superbowl halftime performance should have been on this list.
Prince had great live shows but they were too funked out for white audiences --- his Super Bowl halftime show is prolly his best one ever for a white crowd --- I also think his 1985 appearance at American Music Awards is pretty legendary
Completely agree. Saw him at the Cow Palace in 1985 during his Purple Rain tour and he was special. Prince should be in the top 10; but as you mentioned, Queen is #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a second I thought they were going to put Queen as an honorable mention. I was ready to find someone and do bad things to them...then I was like, oh, never mind.
Even though I read this comment while watching the video.... It still happened to me
There is something in Freddie's voice that changes everything. Not that Brain is not an awesome guitarist or the other members are not remarkable. But there is something in him. A friend, who never hear anything other than really soft and quiet music one day suddenly heard Queen from me and after a few days came back and said there is something in this guy's voice that I can't forget.
great story
Saqib Saqib his voice live took on a completely different element than in the studio. That's why I see Lambert as a fail with Queen.

Queen blows everyone else out the water.
Queen > Everyone else.
Please...Zeppelin IS live music. The fact the did completely different versions of every song, every night and played 3-4 hour shows constantly put them in a league of their own. P.S. Night at the Opera was the 1st album I ever owned so I am being very objective here...I love Queen.
Antoine Gauthier overrated ? Hell no, we will rock you & we are the champions are songs known throughout the world. Bohemian rhapsody wasn’t just good it was phenomenal arguably the greatest rock song. Queen was also extremely diverse & Freddie himself was the best frontman of any rock band (yes even better than Robert plant) his presence on stage was unmatched & the way he got the audience to get involved & Freddie’s incredible vocals cemented queen as the best live band. Queen isn’t overrated their popularity is much deserved. I would say zeppelin is the best rock band but Queen has things it’s better than zeppelin at & things it can match them with.
Freddie’s stage presence was unmatched. He didn’t need crazy choreography or crazy effects.
@Antoine Gauthier It takes a lot to apologize on youtube. Respect my guy. Respect.
@@Veggamattic As a punk rock fan, I cannot understand the infatuation with Zeppelin for the life of me. The average punk band outperforms them on any given night, many with better music.

INXS “Live Baby Live” at Wembley Stadium in 1991 was amazing too!
I've watched the entire Queen set off of number one, and I gotta agree, it's pretty intense to see almost the entire audience sing along and such with their songs, def worth the the number one spot!
And for the people arguing over the daft punk, I was there, and let me tell you, it was insane, no-one expected it to be good, but the way it was displayed, the way they portrayed the music and entertainment was amazing, if I was high like 90% of the people there I would have blown my mind. Also, the audience that ran to see Daft punk was like a tidal wave, I looked back once, half the field was empty, looked back again and it was as far as I could see of people.
The queen set had a great story behind it too....completely unprepared, fighting backstage, political controversy...but it was a perfect culmination of moments and people...I agree with the #1 too.
It's even better when you realize that those that were there were not all Queen fans. They were there for the entire Live Aid performance which had dozens of bands and singers present. For Mercury to get the entire crowd going the way he did is a testament to his showmanship and the performance.
Some musicians play guitar, some play piano; Daft Punk puts together the sounds of many instruments to make harmony, and beauty, to make music. They surely did make enjoyment for all, is that not what music is for?
Daft Punk does some cool stuff. It's not my favorite thing, but i have fun in my own studio playing with live mixing like that. While i don't put it on the same shelf as instrument musicians, it has it's own thing going on. I'd have fun at a show.
Patrick Strong very well said :D
I agree with several of the comments. MJ should be in here. He was lots better than several of the bands listed here in my opinion.
HOWEVER, Queen has NO equal. Freddie Mercury was THE GREATEST !! The July 13, 1985 concert is and will always be the greatest live performance ever !!
fuck off!!!!
I watched it live.
Okay you can’t determine the future but up to now I wholeheartedly agree
Michael was the greatest but Freddie comes second.

Why is no one talking about The Who’s live performance in 1978. ICONIC!
Freddie in my opinion has the greatest voice in the world. I don’t think anyone can ever come close, definitely not these days

There is still some people that don't understand the kind of revolution Daft Punk made that night. That was the first time that an artist had that kind of technology and production in a live performance. You can hate their music, but that night America was rocked by the robot duo, achieving for the first time respect to an emerging music genre like electronic. Their spot is very well deserved.
Also, long live that day when England was rulled by a different Queen.
You sound like you should be writing the voiceovers! I always liked Daft Punk but I didn’t know that this concert was one of the first (if not THE first) to do something like that, hopefully there’s a full version to watch on RUclips 🙂
