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
@@interestingthings8598 Not really a Queen fan, but I love their music. At Live Aid they were the best of the best... such a big emotion that I still remember
you're a rare person now, one of the few that got to witness one of the best moments in human history live.
For a gig that had 72k there. There are 500k people who say they were there.
Den E more! Millions
@@dene39 Ha Ha Ha very funny, but I was there enjoing the biggest show of all my life
He held a microphone in one hand, and the world in the other!!
Wendy Ranta Well said Wendy
Awesome comment Wendy!!!
Wendy Ranta What an amazing way to say that
Nailed it...thanks Darling!! ;)
Best comment I’ve ever seen damn observant Wendy Ranta
What’s most impressive is this isn’t a Queen crowd, but it became one.
sure, queen werent the only performers. But they were arguably the biggest ones and alot of people went there specifically for them
It has to have been a queen crowd or they wouldn't have been able to do the radio gaga hand clap in unison so readily!!!
@@sharcrum everyone knows that move, it’s like YMCA, everyone knows the moves.
@@sharcrum Wembley stadium was sold out even before Queen were annunced to be in it, so no it wasn't a Queen crowd that's what it makes all this set even more iconic
@@lewis0705 i believe Queen at that time was a little out of fashion and almost all their hits were a few years back
When Freedie left the stage after their set. David Bowie said to him thanks Freddie how the Fuck am I supposed to follow that.
😂 true
For 21 minutes in 85 England was ruled by a different Queen.
Can I just say. I absolutely love your comment.
Jimminey FingCricket You get my 👑
What an awesome comment. Well done, well said my friend. x
I would like to add not only England
This was quoted in an interview. You didn't make that up.
If you ever feel sad or angry, remember people had to perform after this
Haha
Who went on after?
Betty Pickle David Bowie
David Bowie performed Heroes and it was awesome and kept that momentum going
Bowie did 😅
I dont care that im 14 and my generation’s stereotype is what it is, im always going to love 70s music and queen
dude im 17 i love queens from when i was 10
Me too bruh...... But I'm 16....... They had taken the world that day..... Not only that day but forever.......
I’m 15 and absolutely love 70s 80s music, especially queen
Same I’ve always loved old times people find it weird
I’m 28, people were saying the same about my generation as they do about yours, and I’m sure they’ll say the same the generation after. Don’t worry about it ✌️
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"
Have you seen the Green Day concert at Hyde park?? If not, do so and come back and talk to me.
@@stevescourou8006
never seen it but you got me curious so now I have to watch it
The greenday concert is one of my favourite videos - insane
@@xanajoiad did you watch it?
@@stevescourou8006 I watched the all performance, it had me singing and dancing like crazy, wow, I loved it.
It was cool of queen to let all them bands play at their concert
This wasn’t an only queens concert. It was a fund raising show called Live Aid, and many were invited including Queen
Isabel Maria Melo DAMN GIRL, THAT JOKE PASSED THROUGH YOUR HEAD AT SUPERSONIC SPEED😂
@@isabelmariamelo4717 Oh, for whoosh' sake
ImTheBeast InTheUnivast ?
Isabel Maria Melo you’re kidding right?!! Didnt you get it lol?!!
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.
Absolutely amazing. I remember watching it on a Video screen at a Health Club that I was a member of. I had been a Queen fan for many years. John Peel RADIO DJ got me immediately interested when he played Seven Seas of Rye, and I thought “My God” that’s so innovative and new.
To continue. The way Freddie got the 72 thousand audience into his pocket was amazing. He was and always be the best and most entertaining front God in the World. Love the man, and such a loss. ❤️❤️ RIP FREDDIE
I love that part
People keep forgetting midge ure helped Bob set up band aid got side lined by Bob who took over meetings and interviews Bob did only two decent things in music the band aid single and band aid
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.
My sentiments too, Freddie was a lovely person.
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!!
Turned up to 11 no doubt just for Queen.
Queen didn’t just rule England for 21 minutes. They rule the world FOREVER
That’s so true
Whooooo wants to live forever .....
Queen will always rule
@@stevescourou8006 WHO DARES TO LIIIIVE
FOOOREVEEEEEEEEEEEER!
And Queen United world for 21 minutes and bring world peace. When people forget to fight against each others and just listen and sing along with Freddy Mercury. And just chill for moment.
I like the face of a proud dad introduced his son to Queen.
AllStars956 especially the ay-oh part! Ugh dont we all?!
Thanks, yes, this video was awesome to do with him.
@@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia It shows!!
Yessss teach the chirren! ( Children)
I just started the video and I get so excited when younger generations are first introduced to Queen, ESPECIALLY the Live Aid performance.
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. 🥳
omg you must have been blown away, lucky you, I wish....love freddie and queen forever, miss you darling❤❤
@@MemphisBrown-wy9es Yes it was unforgettable 🎉🥳🎈🎉
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.
I was 22 and I was present at Wembley Stadium. I was and am a huge Queen aficionado, but they blew me away that day. Freddie was on fire.
@@Dragonblaster1 What a great memory to have. In 1985-86 Queen came to Australia and I was just too young to have been able to drive the 2 hours myself to go and see them, so I don't know what that's like. I have several live DVD's and Blu-Rays now, including the Live Aid show, but it will never quite be the same.
@@thelorax9622 Yes, the sheer energy of it was mind-blowing. I’ve found the same thing with Iron Maiden gigs. Everyone is your friend.
Queen and Freddie Mercury are iconic and will always be legends. There are just not enough words to describe the feeling you get when you hear one of their songs whether it be in person or on the radio. We will always miss you Freddie Mercury ❤️❤️❤️
Same here my friend
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.
Thanks for the comment and way to go being able to see them live, that must be an absolute amazing memory.
You don't even need a band on stage for the audience to sing. :-)
ruclips.net/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/видео.html
@@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia Ironically the same age as your son,17 years old . Memories are fading but thankfully have the DVD to fall back on. Looking forward to more of your Queen reactions.
Unfortunately would never happen today. It would just be a sea of cellphones
I saw them too a year later, at Wembley on the Saturday night, squashed at the front for about 10hrs. but worth every minute.
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.
🏴yes😚🏴
And in Philly we responded the same way as they did in London.
Exactly queen is an will be first in our minds
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......
Status quo were the first I think and they completely rocked and had the crowd bouncing but other than that people didn’t seem to want to be there
@@rianoneill9664 I think they didn’t truly understand the global reach of the show. From memory it was one of the first of its kind. Set a new industry standard.
Quo were the right group for the first ... Rocking all over the world..
Dire Straits and U2 had killer sets and I've always loved The Boomtown Rats.
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.
It was certainly the largest TV audience but the largest live audience to be at a concert ( and this shocked the hell out of me) was Rod Stewart in 1993 on Copacabana Beach with 4.2 million
Notice this kids :
No backup track
No autotune
No backup dancers
Just pure Music and talent 😊❤
There are still TONS of bands that perform the way you're describing. 🤷♀️
And he made 70K+ people follow him. Every person felt like they were front row with Freddie Mercury.
Not in popular music
@@Kirbysbelt loads of bands still that still get loads of people at their concerts do that, especially a lot of the older groups that are still performing
no cell phones in the audience!!!!!!! just enjoyment
Freddie is definitely the best vocalist of all time
He really is just so good vocally but also as an amazing front man.
@@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia Agreed!! Even people who aren't Queen fans, know/like at least 1 or 2 Queen songs and can't deny Freddie's unbelievable vocal talents AND stage presence!! And, though there are many really solid frontmen, past and present,...Freddie just remains, unparalleled!! Great reaction!! How cool a dad are you, to expose your teenage son to AWESOME, LEGENDARY MUSIC and performances?!! And, you hit him up with GREAT history of the Live Aid show, and little nuggets of back stories to things! (Knowing the Lady Gaga reference, for example, was cool as hell! Many ppl don't know that little bit 'o trivia.) What a lucky young man he is!
P.S. AND you're wearing a Pink Floyd hat?! I hit "like" just for THAT alone...then subbed by end of vid! 😉
LOVE YOUR COMMENT!! I do love to throw in random facts. Thanks for watching and definitely thanks for subbing.
and then Marc Martel happened
@@Tan3l6 marc martel always sings in a controlled environment i would love to see how he does on stage
“Crazy little thing called love” was cut out!!!! But I loved the look on ur sons face....my kids have known live aid ‘85 their whole lives!!! This is STILL the #1 live performance of all time!!!!
Man what a voice...real singing, no bullshit,...to think this almost didn't happen..Freddie's passion in performing was incredible
David Bowie followed Queen, backstage he called them a bunch of bastards and said how the hell do I follow that
Beautiful
Its funny, i remember Bowies performance as the most awsome show ever. I was late home from work so i missed queens performance. And now many years later i can watch it on RUclips. Now i understand why Bowie made such an effort 😄
Love that Bowie said that. Bet they all got a good laugh at that!
Yea but Bowie really good
if anybody could..
FACT:THAT performance is known as the greatest live performance in the history of music.PERIOD!
Freddie held that sea of people in the palm of his hand and it was glorious!
Daniel Malik not suprised
second best just after Nightwish every single one performance
I wanna like this a million times
Queen Live at Wembley is up there to.
They just don’t make bands like Queen anymore.
Its not that they won't its cause they can't
The 2 greatest bands in my opinion Queen and AC/DC
They can't cuz society has changed, and peoples can only raps for moneys and views
@@jedei1515 There are a bunch of bands that I only like 1 or 2 songs from them. Like Rush’s Tom Sawyer, Or Kansas’ Carry Onward My Son. I like Aerosmith’s Dream On, or Bostons Dont Look Back. There a bunch, but queen takes the cake. There are so many I like. Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure, We Are the Champions, Somebody to Love.
@@jedei1515 Beatles & Led Zeppelin for me. I guess if you ask 100 people you will get 100 combos
I think one of the most amazing things about this, is that most people gathered, merrily singing Queen songs, were fans of other groups. This was Live Aid, charity, and a lot of people were secretly waiting to see how well Queen would do without a fan base, without flashing lights and theatrics. And they just went in there, ruled the stage and everyone turned into a fan.
this crowd still holds the record as the largest accapella singalong.
@TheSilentGamer YT just posted the link here.
@@thedamnedatheist ruclips.net/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/видео.html
Liar.
Jane Goodnut okay Jane 🐸
That's really interesting never knew that.
No autotune or pitch correction back in them days, just let that sink in for a minute !
Oh ya, his voice is just amazing times 10!!
There actually was pitch correction back then, just wasn’t widely used until Auto Tune was invented as a real-time pitch correction in the late 90s. Before they had digital real-time plugins, there were studio tricks engineers used. Like Queen, who had fun being experimental in the studio. Or The Beatles.
What happened to " Crazy little thing called love"?
I,literally, as a 65 year old don't know what that is or what that does even though I have now heard the phrase many times...lol
Might have been used in the studio's back in 85 but im sure it wasn't available for live performances back then. A lot of reverb and compression yes but not autotune or pitch correction, back then you needed raw vocal talent because you had nothing to hide behind and very little to mask a shit voice when you sang live.
This was my wedding day and my reception was one big Live Aid party. Happy times ❤️
The most electrifying and perfectly calibrated live performance in the history of rock.
I love how excited Dad was to show this to his lad. Like son, watch this - genius.
And cool to see the son share his Dad’s passion. 😊
I wasn't even born then and I've watched many of their performances with my 11yo. He loves it. Let Freddy live on..
Passing the baton.❤
i watch almost the whole show on tv in Turkey.
Right on Dad ... Love from Wales 🏴 🏴 🏴 UK.
Many critics say this was the greatest rock performance in history. It gives me chills to watch it.
Publius everytime i watch live videos!
It definitely was
I'm a Michael Jackson fan and even I gotta say nobody owned a stage like Freddie did that night
@@xoxoxoxoxo7997 Jackson lip sync'd many of his performances, wanting to be involved in everything physically. That was his only mistake, as great as the performances were-they were more of a play than a concert.
Absolutely, Pubilius. Peter Gabriel's "Biko" crowd participating is close, but Queen OWNED Live Aid. And performed twice :) Even Phil Collins, with his Wembly first-then Concorde flight to Philly second- performances were shadowed by the great Queen.
Still get goosebumps off his voice RIP to the best legend
The worlds best performer ever to walk the planet, no auto tune just pure talent what a legend
Freddie. Still making people love you. The man had more talent in his mustache then many of today's artists.
More talent in 1 hair of his mustache than many of today's artists when a group of them get together. No autotune - no pressure Freddie will smash it out, not only the park but out of orbit. Freddie - the ultimate performer. R.I.P.
I so so love that mustache Comment 😍 ♥ 😭 ❤
I love that. More talent in his mustache. Epic.
Don't forget what part Midge Ute played in Live Aid. It wasn't all dirty Geldof.
I'm not sure that's what was in his mustache!!!
To be fair, that's one hell of a mustache.
Imagine being at a concert where everyone is giving 100% undivided attention without looking at their phones
Exactly.. all eyes facing the stage!
Yup, all they were holding were lighters and joints!
Incredible, isn't it, you only saw these strange things (phones) on Star Trek;)
I mean.. people had film cameras back then
I couldn’t have put it any better myself.
I love that there’s not a cell phone or camera in sight apart from the camera men filming it! Everyone in the moment enjoying themselves!!
Cellphones were kinda nonexistent back then the best we could do was a regular instatphoto camera and a tape recorder
What's wrong with people recording when at a concert?
@@gator_productions Yeah, its a real treat to pay for a ticket to see a band/artist and get stuck behind a wall of a/holes waving their damn cell phones around making their own crappy ,in sound and vision, copy of said artists biggest hit.... maybe there should be a separate section for these "fans".... let them annoy each other and not the real enjoyers of the concert experience as the entertainer intended.....
@@heezahore oh boo hoo, some people like to record at concerts and u don't like it. So we should separate over half of the crowed so people like u can see an extra inch of the performance. 😢
@@gator_productions actually yeah..... if you want to have peoples cell phones blocking your view then absolutely have a section set aside..... like outside on the pavement as its illegal.... read your ticket smart-ass........
I was there. And fell off my friends shoulders while Queen were playing. The crowd were fantastic all through the show. But Queen blew us all away. Many people were in tears when they walked off the stage.
Never forget that day, i was 14 years old, Freddie Mercury had a strep throat and the doctor advised him to cancel his performance. He didn't and give the best live performance of all artists that day.
Actually he was starting to suffer the damage from HIV I believe. A great voice lost too soon.:(
@@Ozgood13 perhaps. However, differing from the movie, he didn't know he had aids until super long before his death
@@ThePlaidJeans The movie, i found out was not really correct. If you search up "Freddie Mercury last moments" you can find a queen interview, where Brian May says he found out in 1987, AFTER live aid, and Freddie died in 1991, 4 years later
PenguinPatron the movie did a pretty good job, but the timeline was out of wack for a lot of it
Oh, did Freddie tell you that did he? Lucky you didn't forget it.
Wasn't even a Queen crowd... Ended up being one though
Geozeo 👍They owned the world after this concert.
I get chills whenever I hear any live performance by Queen, hearing the crowd sing along to the songs is amazing and shows how much they're loved.
Imagine having to play straight after them 😂😂
It was David Bowie 😂
I believe Bowie, who was next', said to Freddie something like 'Thanks for that, how am I supposed to follow that?!'
72 000 people in the stadium, 1 billion people behind the TV screen. Queen's performance at live aid is seen as the greatest live performance of all time. No doubt that Queen is the greatest band ever and Freddie fuccing Mercury is the greatest vocalist and frontman of all time. Love them so much.
Great comment, thanks for watching.
@@Yuppdihey I've read 1 billion, but maybe you're right! The more the merrier 😊☺️
Mia Johansen agree💯💯💯 I saw it on TV and Queen blew everyone else away.
@@montereyharris1277 Sadly, I was born in 2002 so I've missed it all. But I'm glad you got to see them! If not live in person, live on TV!
Freddie was a God that walked amongst us. Theres only a handful of people that have that charisma, charm, attitude. Freddie had iT all & then Some. Majestical Mercury
I was born in 1944. And when rock 'n' roll hit the scene in the mid-50's, I had no interest in it. It all seemed so childish, or perhaps it was self-centered pubescence. Whatever, I paid very little attention to rock through the 50's and 60's. The Eagles got to me in the 70's, along with some others. But by and large, music for me was the classics and show tunes. Then, in 1985, I was living in Germany teaching English as a Second Language. After a long Saturday morning, I came home eager to enjoy what was left of the weekend. Once I got home, I turned on the little black and white TV I had been lent in hopes of finding something I could understand enough to enjoy. What I came across was the Live Aids broadcast from Wembley Stadium I shrugged and watched. Almost immediately, Queen was on stage. For the next 20 minutes I was glued to my seat, absolutely dumbstruck by Freddie Mercury's performance. In the wake of this extraordinary experience, I learned to appreciate a good deal better just what rock had to offer. My horizons were most happily expanded. And I still think of the Wembley experience and Queen as an epiphany, my own little satori. It's a memory I treasure still and always will.
queen is a whole genre at it self
@@SnerASDF Amen!
I'm really glad I read that Charles. Thanks for sharing
Well stated, Sir.
You were not alone. As the only Queen fan among my friends I bathed in their adoration of the performance on that day. Never met anyone who disagrees that they owned Live Aid. Maybe the best Live performance of any band ever?
Never get tired of hearing Queen, particularly this performance.
I was at Live Aid on a very hot day. The stadium's volume limiters were (illegally) disabled before Queen performed.
My mom was at that event, she still talks about this day, like it was yesterday. I'll be forever grateful my mon showed me Queen.
@Michael Harrison i'm so sorry, my apologies. Auto correct, because i also listen to Queens of the Stone Age.
A mute freddie would sing better than all modern singers 😂😂
My 1st time at Wembley with my Dad,I woz 13yr(14yr at end of year)&coz im disabled we got gud(ish)seats.i just remember the smile on my Dads face when Status Quo 1st came out singing Rocking All Over The World.great day.
Well-raised kid. ^
Wow same my mon showed me Queen I love my mon and dad
It's so cool that 35 years later, we're still watching this in awe.
Radio Gaga and 70 thousand people all doing the clap in sync still gives me the chills. Love you Freddie ❤️
there will never be another freddie mercury bless his heart
Gotta hand it to the Brits. They've churned out the greatest rock bands of all time.
I'd love to play a game of trumps involving rock bands with any country on the planet.... Britain would trump everyone :)
But what about Nickelback... 😮🤣
@@golfdweller3815 well, what about Nickelback?? :-)
Well you can’t mention the greatest rock bands in the world and not mention Nickelback.... you know, as a lesson to the world of a rock band that isn’t... 😇
@@golfdweller3815 Phrrrp (blows mouthful of whisky onto cigarette, causing minor fire) Nickel back are (in my opinion) the worst of the big-hair band-wagon chasing anti-Nirvanas-but still-cashing-in that I've ever seen, not a shred of credibility about them.But that is just my lowly opinion. Feel free to criticise, say, my choice of car. (Peugeot)
In an interview Bob Geldorf once said "It was the perfect stage for Freddie." Interviewer: "Why?" Bob Geldorf "He had the whole world as his audience!"
Amen!
It's Bob Geldof. If, when quoting someone, please actually be accurate.
@@Mawganb Thank you for pointing out a typo.
GELDORF
Incredibile performance... Chills... Adrenaline, emotion, everything! Queen ❤️
No matter how many times I watch queen at live aid I still get chills
People don't realize how great of a voice he had especially considering this performance he was on doctors orders not to do the show because of throat problems and he still could have outsung anyone then and now, there will never be another Freddy
Final performance? Queen did a kind of magic tour there final gig was Knebworth in August 1986
I want to see the sons reactions but I can't freaking take my eyes off Freddie even though I've seen this concert at least 50 times lol
Jes Barreda RIGHT?!
Ikr??
That was me too :-)
Not much of a reaction lol ... you didn't miss much.
Jes Barreda same
Who would have thought we were watching history been made that day.
Still simply the most compelling live video ever …..20 mins of pure unadulterated music genius 👍👌💪🇮🇲. Ps don’t forget, they weren’t queen fans….they were there for all the artists that day…..but Queen stole their hearts 👍🇮🇲💖
Came to see “the reaction”, stayed for Queen
Lil Wayne hahah exactly 😂
F'ck yeah!
Same here

@@purepack same
@Superpiair1 Dude it is more addictive than any other song.
I tear-up in the beginning, grin in the middle, and am laughing at such unfathomable magic by the end.
So true. I do every time
I love how this Gig actually perfectly describes Queen, even from the songs they picked:
Bohemian Rhapsody: Opera, Ballade and hard rock
Radio GaGa: Synth-Pop
Hammer to Fall: Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal
Crazy Little Thing Called Love: Rockabilly
We will Rock You/We Are The Champions: Arena Rock
Their variety and ingenuity in song writing and producing are one of a kind and at the time not really explored before
Freddie was suffering from a throat infection and they told him not to come out and sing but a few shots of vodka got him on stage and he blew the audience and everyone outta the water cuz he knew this was going to be one of his last performances! I get so emotional watching this and the set list is so foreshadowing. I remember watching this on tv when I was young
It's so hard to believe that 5 years later he died. Unbelievable. I will miss you forever Freddie!
6 years!!! Live Aid was in 1985 & Freddie died in 1991.
I could watch this every day. No one compares to Freddie and Queen . NO ONE
@@RaymondvanSchayk 5 years and 4 months so definitely not 6 years
@@nostalgia815 i think you are wrong, Freddie died in novembre, 1991 and the live aid was on summer of 1985, so it cannot be 5 years and 4 months, but 6 years and 4 months. Tell me if I’m wrong.
@@barbtullos3909 Lennon the beatles ffs there is more than one legend
I had the privilege to see Queen live in 1980 in London on their Flash Gordon tour, I was 12, front row seats, I was deaf for a week :-)
Thats so cool!
What a great memory for you to have. I wish I could have seen them in concert.
I was at Wembley and Knebworth for their final concerts. Ticket was a tenner from a tout. Brilliant memories.
Awesome
jenny phillips they were amazing at knebworth, I was near the front, what an amazing day. I remember the inflatables being released which were on the album cover for A Kind of Magic. Fond memories and if I remember right it was the last live concert they did.
35 years later a little 5 year old boy in Australia called Joe sang We will rock you, now that is a legacy that beautiful man left to the world, Joe is my great nephew and he sang it word for word straight through. What a man Freddy was 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
love dad's reactions...he's got heart!
The guy they got to play Brian May in the movie is astonishingly good.
He really was, the casting on that movie was amazing.
He looks more like Brian may that. Brian himself
The actor for Brian May looks more like Brian May then Brian May does.
Deacon and May were perfect for the movie
One-Eye he looks just like him😂😂
A journalist once asked all the members what instruments they played John said I play bass guitar Roger said I play keyboard and drums Brian said I play lead guitar and you Freddie what instrument do you play to which he replied me darling I play the audience now that's fucking rock royalty
I can honestly say all these years on, now 2021 There has been nothing remotely so joyously and emotionally moving since the day I stood with and joined those 72000 in Wembley on this historical day of Live Aid. The hairs stood on the back of my neck upon the reaction of the audience to the most stella performance of Freddie and Queen
I was 22 years old living in Germany at the time. We were given the day off to view the whole show. It was a huge event at the time. And yes, Queen really stole the show!!
The hardest part of watching reactions to Queen performing live is having to constantly remind yourself to stop watching Freddie and watch the reaction!
Same 😄 my eyes on Freddie all the time 😂😂
So true!
Freddy really is mesmerizing 🤘❤
Umm...you cannot ignore Freddie...ever!
I have that problem with the comparisons of this and bohemian rhapsody, I just keep watching freddie
I showed my then 11 year old son this 2 years ago and it changed him forever! He became obsessed with queen, the 80’s, started playing guitar! Music is his absolute passion and wants to make his mark on the world! All from watching this! All these years later and they still have a profound effect on people!! 💙💙💙💙
Good music is timeless, my friend. You are fortunate to introduce your son to one of the best bands of all time when you did.
The best thing about gigs like Live Aid is there's 70+ thousand people all there for probably 30+ different bands but they ALL join in with Queen. It shows how fantastic this and U2's performance's were. I wasn't at Live Aid but I went to the Mandela and Human Rights concerts at Wembley and the atmosphere was always fantastic
Blows anything else out of the water. I wasn't even born yet but I'm obsessed with this performance and I love Queen and Freddie's story.
I cannot even believe how many times I have watched this performance and never get tired of it. Freddie Mercury rocks on and inspires generations he never met. Now THAT is a legacy.
🙌🏼🙌🏼 yes !!
Yeah, i loved that man still do and im 17 i really do miss him even though i never met him
Me too.
5:21 That little kiss Freddie blew to his mom, that gets me right in the feels every time
MandaLa 314 That was just the movie, during the actual real event he was just blowing a kiss to his fans, whom he appreciated very much.
My great aunt was in the crowd. She said nothing could ever replicate the feeling she felt when Queen came on stage. I was born in 2003 and I'd give anything to see them live.
I was lucky enough to see Queen four times live when they came to Kansas City. I remember each one fondly and as I age with a sense of reverence.
Freddie had more talent in his little finger than all the pop stars today combined.
Today's "stars" have zero talent, they use autotune. Freddie Mercury was a once in five lifetimes Superstar who had such an amazing range.
Elton John is still amazing tho
@@HolistikStrake but he's one of the heroes who are still and not a new one🙃 Awww Elton is my favourite musician
Typical boomer comment
@@DoozyCooch I'm not that old
The fact that the fans said “alright” shows the power Freddie had over that crowd
Awwww shiiiit! 👍😂😆😂😆😆😂😂 thatz a goooood! One Maaan! ☝👍👍👍 lol still lol! Comment of the fuucken day! 👌
And you can tell Fred was actually impressed with the crowds vocal attempts...
He was an amazing musician
Christian N they’re so cute for that lol
It's an absolutely remarkable performance. Freddie had a bad throat that day and was ordered by his doctor not to sing. There's no light show. It's still daylight. There are no props. It's not even a 'Queen' audience - they were there to listen to dozens of different bands. But he's got them in the palm of his hand. And listen to how tight the band are, especially Deacon and Taylor driving the rhythms forward. I'm not a Queen fan and I love this concert.
Every time I see this it gives me the chills. No other band or live performance will equal this. Legendary. Sigh.. I miss Freddy.
why aren't schools showing this in history class
Was shown in my IDev as part of an argument that Live Aid did more harm than good
@@ravenwraith1017 wasn't really talking about Live Aid itself. Was talking about how the performance was. Freddy literally had 72,000 people doing the same thing all at once. Curious though was it Live Aid or Woodstock that did more harm than good. I heard that Woodstock destroyed the farmers field. And can you educate me on the harm that Live Aid did. Would like to know. thanks
@@sheelaghgaelic4489 I won't look for the actual thing but as far as i remember the money from the live aid went to ,i think a country from africa or something like that,to help and it went to the president or whatever they had and helped funding killing people in whatever civil war or whatever they had...sry for the half assed answer but you get the idea.
The teacher showed us a lot of queen videoclips in our art history class in highschool
man... well said... you are right!
I watched this at the age of 9. I became a Queen fan that day.I would sell my soul for a time machine, just to go see Queen.
Helen Mamwell Same 😍 i want to hear them live
When you build that time machine i will fight to the death for a place. I was lucky enough to see it live on tv but to be there at wembley...wow!
@@jacksdjfam I saw them once at the Nassau Coliseum & even up high in the rafters my ears hurt. Freddie had that long hair still. Was awesome!
@@thicknjustrite im truly jealous. The one thing ive not done enough of is see live acts. I should really do something about it. Top of my wishlist would be (in no specific order) AC/DC, The who and Kraftwerk
@@jacksdjfam Please don't be jealous. I was in seats that were at the top & never actually saw the band clearly. Could've been any1 on that stage, except my ears knew who it was lol. Now Zeppelin at the Garden was a different story. I saw them clearly & that was an amazing show. But I'd trade it for the chance to see my all-time favs. Queen up close any time. And I have, as you have, in the best seat there is-in front of your big screen tv!
The part of the call and response kills me every time 😆😂😍 and it's even better in a reaction video. Legendary
Did you know that Freddie was told by his doctor not to perform at the venue for fear that he would lose his voice... he was just diagnosed with Aids, and was just starting to get aids inflicted pneumonia, which is why at certain points in the songs he changes the melody, but you would never know unless you really pay attention..it was an amazing performance by arguably the greatest frontman to ever exist.
That Queen was probably the most educated rock band ever. Freddie Mercury - degree in Art & Graphic Design, Roger Taylor - Biology, John Deacon - Electronics & Brian May - Astrophysics (& recently completed his doctorate after a 30-year hiatus).
One of the most educated. Genesis was another band chock full of educated blokes. Steely Dan, among the Americans. Come to think of it, there's a lot of them. It kinda shows in their music too. What an era.
Yeah Brian may didn't just finish his PhD he has also worked on some high profile projects as a part of the European space agency
I saw a quote somewhere along the lines of, 'there's cool and then there's lead guitarist in one of the worlds greatest rock bands and a Phd in Astrophysics cool'.
Roger Taylor actually was a trained dentist, but never took the boards to be licenced.
No, he never finished dentistry, he changed his degree to biology. OP is correct.
I don't think I'll see a showman control an audience like Freddie did. He was a ONCE in five generations man.
Mr Demoncrusher
Small correction....
Freddie was a Once In A LIFETIME Performer!!!
like Elvis
@@thecelticcrone7927 - The greatest showman ever! The son didn't get it. He was amazed at the size of the crowd, but completely missed that Freddie had every one of those 72,000 people in his hands! Phenomenal performance - once in a lifetime, for a once in a lifetime performer.
Jomanka100
I’d say more than was just there!!!
I was at home watching on TV and followed along!!! It still gives me the ‘FEELS’ when I hear that song!
@@thecelticcrone7927 - You're only right! A bunch of us watched it together on the TV, and he had us all in his hands too! Feels like yesterday, but I'm old now, and I wasn't then! haha!
This performance was more than epic it was magical, my dad was there and only went because Queen were playing think most of the crowd felt the same. This is an amazing reaction can't wait to see your sons true response to this
One of the best bands of all time! Such an amazing performance! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️ 👑 ❤️
72 thousand people all going to the concert to see the bands they love not particularly Queen ( Bowie for me ) and Freddie Mercury had the whole 72 thousand people eating out of his hand. I never looked at Queen the same way. Unbelievable front man, first time seeing him on stage and he got me right in the heart. A true entertainer. R I P Freddie. ❤️
Freddie was asked one time What did he play the best and his reply was THE AUDIENCE DARLING. How true when watching this.
@@jimspink2922 that’s interesting, I can just see Freddie saying that.
It is incredibly rare when you can point to a single moment in time, and say "This was their greatest moment." It's even rarer when that moment was captured in its near perfection, and you can watch it again, 35 years later. This was the moment Queen gave the greatest live performance in rock history, and at that moment, there WERE no other rock bands. There was only Queen.
The Who, The Kinks, The Jam, Madness, Deep Purple, Genesis. Just to name a few. While these weren't necessarily Queen and Bowie level they were still legendary in their own right.
@@evieaddy9580 But for many of them, their greatest concerts weren't recorded, or weren't recorded in full. And even then, think how many performers there have been since the late 1960's alone, and how many of them had a moment like this? Almost none. Maybe a handful more than the bands you listed, and even then most probably weren't recorded, or broadcast live to the entire world.
@@Valandar2 many of them did. They weren't put in the hall of legends for nothing.
@@evieaddy9580 Still doesn't invalidate what I said. I didn't say nobody else had done it, just that it was incredibly rare. And "many" is a bit... exaggerated. Maybe one band in a hundred, or even a thousand did.
@@Valandar2 if you don't know then don't actually respond.
I'm just a year old when this happen but when I found out about this concert, I can't help but smile and sing-along, like I was there. The Queen still rocking the world up until now. 2021.
If I was able to go back in time and see any concert, It would be this concert, hands down. To be able to be in that audience in that moment would be incredible. I'm pretty sure countless other people would feel the same way.
I love how the son is just watching,but the father is living it!!!!
The son looks bored in this video and others
@@bobl4439 That’s just kids
@@bobl4439 Mr Cool! Typical teenager!
How can anyone be bored while listening to this✨Queen is legends✨
@@MKRM27 Agreed. My kids were the same and then appreciated the music education later.
It is virtually impossible to not love Freddie and Queen.
Not "one of" the best, he is literally the bench mark for the Best Frontman to ever live.
Best performance in the whole of Live Aid. I remember it well and was on a break at work. We all were glued to the staff room tv set and late back from our breaks :) It was amazing.
I remember staying up all night to watch this I was 15 and it changed me forever. FOREVER.
