      The thing about the whole Live Aid concert that year it was very boring and not much money was coming in until Queen hit the stage then the money started coming in for donations I was only 8 years old at the time but the memories Linger on from watching that show and before I was eight and and before I was eight and until the day I die I will still be donating to the most worthy charities and I'm not doing favorites but I am making sure that whenever money needs to be donated for an actual cause the money goes to that cause and every band that played at these events was well worth it however Woodstock was not a fundraiser that was just a time for everybody to gather and get stoned

      This was before the days of total computerised lighting ,staging started a week before , lighting started 5 days before ,100s and I mean hundreds of par56cans had to be installed and adjusted by hand with the correct colour filters fitted ,over 30 miles of cabling and most of it controlled by faders through power packs , nearly half a million amps ,serious stuff ,long range projectors were manually operated by guys up on the roof ,half of the show was in daylight and only started to come into its own half way through queens set ,fully effective for David Bowie who was unfortunate to have to follow queen ,2 days to strip down and pack up ,

    It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. 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.”

    To this day, this is often referred to as one of the greatest live performances of all time because of the way he commanded the stage and commanded the crowd. Keep in mind, this was considered to be after Queen's heyday and with this performance, they reinvigorated old fans and gained new fans across the globe (as this was televised in multiple countries) and put out a lot of great music after this. The way he worked that crowd is still fantastic to watch over and over again.

    I still remember sitting in front of the TV for 24 hours watching this Live Aid event in 1985. Each band only had a 20 minute spot, and the bands getting on stage after Queen didn't wanna enter the stage. As mentioned, this was NOT a Queen concert. Radio Ga Ga is the song that Lady Gaga got her stage name from. Freddie had all 90000 in his hand those 20 minutes.
    I still cherish the time I got to see Queen in 1984 and 1986 with Freddie on vocals.
    They had this guy playing the piano parts when Freddie was not. He was put in the back out of sight.
    The year after this in 1986, they filled Wembley Stadium again with their own classic concert from that year. That concert is available on DVD as well.

    I fell in love with Queen back in 2018 when I saw the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. I fell hard down the rabbit hole and have never come up for air. I have literally watched this live aid performance thousands of times and like you said it never gets old, and is always exciting! I fell madly in love with Freddie Mercury after seeing that movie. ❤❤I watch this multiple times a day and probably will continue to do so for a long time to come. Do yourselves a favor and watch Queen Wembley 86 full concert. It is fire 🔥 and in my opinion Queen at their absolute best. Thank you for another great reaction! You guys are awesome.

    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 by the full 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 had fought a life and death 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 only one of many terrible memories I have from 35 years of active service, and over 3 years hospitalisation. But when I remember the smiles on the children's faces, and their laughter at the terrible way we danced always reminds me that humanity will always find it's way through even the worst of times. 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.
    My amazing Wife took me to see Queen at Wembley, U.K., in 1986 two weeks after I got back from Ethiopia as a surprise, we also went to the last Queen concert they ever did. I saw Queen live 8 times in all (my wife only 6 ha ha), they were incredible live. And yes, I am an old fart.

    I was a young solderer in the US army at Ft Bragg NC (Now Fort Liberty) on the Saturday this show aired. I was at a rather noisy, rowdy cookout at a Friends house. The TV was on and a few were gathered round it watching the acts . Then QUEEN took the stage . Five minutes after they began performing everyone at the party was magnetically drawn to the television where we all sat in total silence and these Magical masters of music wove their legendary sounds. After they finished we all sat a few awkward moments in silence until somebody finally said " Holy $#*!....that was freaking unbelievable". Little did we know then , that it would become known as the greatest Live Performance of all time, and Freddie's little interaction with the audience as he did his famous " AYYYOH" would become known as the "note Heard Round The World". There never has been since , and doubt there ever will be again the likes of Freddie and the Boys. I still tear up today listening to his Pure passion , and musical love that he soaked every word and note with . RIP Great Freddie ...You were truly the "real thing" , while many others just aspired to be the momentary thing.

Roger Taylor on drums kept the beat. Consummate professionals. The man who played the audience to perfection. Absolute masterclass of how do a live performance - blew everybody else away.

    If you watch Freddie when he is dancing with the cameraman, their wires get cross while he is singing the man holding the wire for the camera tries to untangle them pulling on the mic cord Freddie noticed and grabbed it before it hit him in the face and never missed a note to hammer to fall. That is what a perfect performer he was because he did it so smoothly, no knew anything was wrong. Queen was and still is the greatest rock band.

    To me what made this performance so great was Live Aid was an all day event broadcast live all over the world and most every major band or performer was there. The expectation and hype was so great that when the bands began to play, most all were a let down, until Queen took the stage and electrified that crowd and as a result electrified the globe for 20 or so minutes. They literally blew every other act off the stage. It's still legendary til this day.

You can tell they enjoy making good music and then the audience can't help but have fun also having the best music doesn't hurt. The UK was ruled by a different Queen that day for 22 minutes. I think maybe it gave them a shot in the arm but they had just come off of.a huge tour. The world was in love with Queen. Just another quick note, Brian changes guitars three times during Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The band does it all in the name of great music.

Queen was the preeminent stadium band, lyrical masters, arrangement geniuses; they displayed pure raw talent musically speaking; combined with a carefully and masterfully excuted stage presence and band identity that has transended thru the years for all future generations. I could not be more pleased that you enjoyed them as you did. I look forward to more of your videos.

    I remember watching this at my dad's home in New Jersey. I was almost 15. This stage was in London and the other was in Philadelphia. Queen stole the show and this performance is considered the best of all time.
