I remember seeing this on live tv back in 85! Eveyone stayed home to watch this it was once in a life time.Freddie we miss you! It's not even music they play now a days!
I was born in 1985, and although I too never had the joy, pleasure, or honor to see the legends in action I am glad that I am not only able to listen to their greatness, but to also see them on stage from years behind. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we are part of a lucky number of people who not only listen to them but also have a passion for the band for what they gave the world, an if you wish to, hold that thought and notion close to you, and hopefully it does some good for you .
Freedie, he will always remain the best male singer and performer of the 80's by a long and great margin. there is no way Quenn could ever replace such a legend.
6 minute long ballad with unconventional form and a strange a capella bridge. Yet everyone on the planet knows the whole song by heart. I'd say that's a fair testament to the sheer prowess of Queen.
Great performance - I respect Freddie and Queens, I do. They have blessed us with great music. If not for Elvis he would have been my favorite entertainer. But in my eyes no man or woman will ever out-perform the legendary king of rock n' roll.
I remember this as yesterday. This was something extraordinary. 16 hours of Music, live from two stages. I wasn't a fan of Queen until I saw this performance. No I am.
I lived in Glasgow when Live Aid was performed in Wembly Stadium. My Brother, Sister in Law, Sister, Brother in Law, Niece and Nephew were all there while I was stuck in my Pub (The Bank Restaurant) in Glasgow watching the show on a big screen TV.
Friends and I get together and we play this series of songs from his DVD and we rock and rock, and rock... and Rock. This is a reminder of the power of music. Freddie and Queen owned this... owned.... thnks for posting.
QUEEN & Freddie - they will allus remain in the history books. What an incredible performer, song writer, singer, - I miss him & "that QUEEN" hype, sound etc. Of course loads of super bands since, - but most of them lack the "old style" intelligence, lust & love of music - as a teenager I felt I "knew him" - & at LIVE AID I was positive he winked at me - that's "showmanship" - "beauty" & downright brilliance. The world's still looking for another Mercury.
Having been born in 1984, I was robbed of the opportunity to enjoy the band in concert and I will forever be bitter. I am comforted only somewhat by youtube. I will love you forever Freddie. I look forward to seeing you on the other side. I miss you every day, and hope that you know you are forever loved.
Such an incredible, unique courage to write those lines - and sing them in such a cool manner, entering the stage so relaxedly and happily... This shows in the best way what sort of man he was. LOVE U FREDDIE, YOUR LIFE WAS REALLY WORTH WHILE, RIP
One of the greatest performers of all time. What you don't see form the Live Aid videos is that when Queen came on it had just started to rain after being bloody hot all day. Freedie just lifted everbody beyond the reality and took them to another plain. the most awesome performance of all time. RIP Freedie we miss you dearly.
For those of us who love music....I think many would agree that there is very few people who have the range and power Freddie had ! In fact, he could actually be the best singer of the century ! Great stage presence as well...riveting.
It takes my breath away...absolutely amazing show...i lost words... I was born in 1990...bud I PROMISS If i had time machine I want to saw him live in concert!!!! WE MISS YOU FREDDIE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-(
Just fucking incredible. Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand. The backshot, when he's facing them, shows the power he had over an audience. The greatest rock & roll front man without question. Daltrey's a close second, but Freddie was the man. Live Aid (1985) was a hell of a show.
I chanced a meeting in an English village & being an Australian fan, we had a couple of beers each (no photos & his staff didn't drink) in a pub. Totally charming humble man....WISE&VISIONARY
Queen ist das beste das Ich je gehört habe! Bei all der Musik die Ich kennen lernte habe Ich nie jemanden gesehen der soviel Herz darein steckte wie Freddy! Diese ganzen Möchtegerns Mann! So engstirnig wie die sind....Ich feier Queen! Bis zum Ende ;) Gerade auch für Hip Hop soviel getan (Another One BItes The Dust) Das wissen die nicht zu schätzen! Ich glaube Ich bin da auch ne Rarität in meiner Branche,alter....GROßEN DAUMEN AN DICH!!!!
Hail Queen...!! Freddie Mercury....you can tell he absolutely loved performing for ppl & his ability to engage his fans....BRAVO...!!!! *gives a standing ovation to both Queen & The People* Thank you 'jera...for making this video available for The People to still enjoy
Saw Queen at Manchester Maine Rd Football Ground, Summer 86, Kind of Magic tour, battled to the front of the crowd, I can still feel the whole gig, an experience like that lives with you forever. Close my eyes and I can still see it. I was 17.
Quanti ricordi! Il Tempo è davvero un bestia incredibile da sopportare! Ero militare quando vissi quel Giorno INCREDIBILE passato a vedere in TV quel Concerto Epocale.Sono Passati 26 Anni.MI VIENE DA PIANGERE.
freddie will always be loved by many of his loyal fans worldwide...once a legend, always a legend...look up into the night sky, see the brightest shining smiling star, that will be our freddie! i miss him so much still...dang AIDS!
Mein Fredi!!!,du warst in deine Zeit und in Ewigkeit bester!!! keinen kann deine Planke erreichen!!!...beste Stimme auf der Welt!!! Ich hoffe in jenseits geht es dir gut!!!
whenever I think about how much I am giving of myself to the world and really expressing the full wattage of myself I hold this man up as my standard for letting it all hang.. because as he said, Nothing really matters, so don't ever care what the what you look like to the rest of the world or how they perceive you... just be yourself 100 percent... always. thank you Freddy.. rip.
My Nan knew his Mother very well. What makes this whole thing a tragedy was that he was just a very nice human being and having said that he just happened to be one of the most talented people around doin his thing, in his time!! If you sick people are reading this- take this with you. He made a load of people - very very happy. Look at this energy. God bless you Freddie. We miss you and I wish I had seen you live. Don't listen to hate. In life there should be only positive energy and love.
Une dizaine d'années plus tôt. j'ai vu ce groupe à Sarrebruck, mon ancienne patrie. A cette époque, personne ne songeait à prendre part à un open air concert d'un groupe de format international!
I remember that day - when the photograhers turned round from the stage to behind them and they were recording the crowd. Freddie had 80,000 people eating out of his hand at the same time - in a good way! Felt then it was something special happening and the photographers knew it. Miss you Freddie. x.
Was fortunate enough to have been one of the privileged few (circa 70,000) to have actually been at old Wembley that day. Mhairi and Joyce, thanks for the ticket. The best 25 quid I´ve ever spent. Incredible day, hot and a collective feeling of doing something for the greater good. Freddie you were superb, Quo rocked and U2 rose to the occasion. Shame about Paul Mccartney´s microphone :)
my one big regret is that i never got to see Freddie mercury live, seen video's and listened to shows on the radio, but i missed a great performer/show man.. miss all the great songs queen made..
One of the only regrets I have for being a 90s child is not being able to fully appreciate the legend and awe that this man creates. He truly is an inspirational and amazing musician comparable to no-one of today's standards.

Freddie Wow, he really was incredible. Radio ga ga is one of my favorite queen songs. RIP Mr Mercury.
What an amazing band, and Freddie Mercury one of the greatest singers/entertainers of all time..Sorely missed R.I.P Freddie
This clip brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch it.
Freddie Mercury, the only man in the world that could sing a duet with the whole world!
I remember seeing this on live tv back in 85! Eveyone stayed home to watch this it was once in a life time.Freddie we miss you! It's not even music they play now a days!
it's hard to find someone who sings like this live
:( what a legend
What an amazing singer/musician/performer Freddie was. RIP Freddie

Queen forever ♡
He was phenomenal...truly a sad loss indeed
Freddie, no one can sing like you. Once in a lifetime.
Where are greatest musicans like Him ??
Only on this tapes and in our memory . Love Live Aid.
6 minute long ballad with unconventional form and a strange a capella bridge. Yet everyone on the planet knows the whole song by heart. I'd say that's a fair testament to the sheer prowess of Queen.
He had an Amazing voice and span of it , i Think as for Entertainment there is no one like Freddie, no one.Now or later.
One of the best performances we'll ever see in our lifetime !!!
Great performance - I respect Freddie and Queens, I do. They have blessed us with great music. If not for Elvis he would have been my favorite entertainer. But in my eyes no man or woman will ever out-perform the legendary king of rock n' roll.

Very powerful...very impressive!

One of the BEST performance by any artists or bands in pop music history EVER....
El mejor, perfecto, único!!

Friends and I get together and we play this series of songs from his DVD and we rock and rock, and rock... and Rock. This is a reminder of the power of music. Freddie and Queen owned this... owned.... thnks for posting.

When we were still alive.
Crashbanksbuysilver that made me cry.
Live Aid... 30 Years Ago Today
Oh Freddie, we love you so much. You are pure, untainted talent. There will never be a performer like you again.

Hearing him sing still brings chills. It never gets old.
Freddy is probably one of the best live performers ever...his confidence, showmanship, charisma just shine through in any performance!
Simply the best. I feel love and sadness when I watch him perform. RIP, Freddy.

Freddie chéri quel talent tu les dépassait tous
I bought my first Queen album in 1974 when I was 15 yrs old...and have never been the same, nor looked back since.....
I still remember watching this live as it happened and how blown away I was by Freddie's performance. Man this takes me back!
The most beautiful classical rock voice this generation ever had.
Saw Queen at Manchester Maine Rd Football Ground, Summer 86, Kind of Magic tour, battled to the front of the crowd, I can still feel the whole gig, an experience like that lives with you forever. Close my eyes and I can still see it. I was 17.
What a heavenly voice! We miss you, Freddie.
the best at captivating and getting the audience involved...just a great entertainer.
Quanti ricordi! Il Tempo è davvero un bestia incredibile da sopportare! Ero militare quando vissi quel Giorno INCREDIBILE passato a vedere in TV quel Concerto Epocale.Sono Passati 26 Anni.MI VIENE DA PIANGERE.
i was a baby in 1985 & these songs still pop.
UN GENIO DE LA MUSICA

Mein Fredi!!!,du warst in deine Zeit und in Ewigkeit bester!!! keinen kann deine Planke erreichen!!!...beste Stimme auf der Welt!!! Ich hoffe in jenseits geht es dir gut!!!
Formidabile,mitico,grande Freddy.
I can not express the words. Every time You're the greatest.
Freddie was amazing! One of my all time favorite bands!
The best live rock performance ever. Forget everything else on UA-cam. It's so good it's just scary.
Pro mě navždy jeden z nejlepších na světě !!! Díky Fredy !!!
Freddie Mercury's voice must be one of the best ever!
whenever I think about how much I am giving of myself to the world and really expressing the full wattage of myself I hold this man up as my standard for letting it all hang.. because as he said, Nothing really matters, so don't ever care what the what you look like to the rest of the world or how they perceive you... just be yourself 100 percent... always. thank you Freddy.. rip.
It's amazing how music can bring people together.
He was the greatest performer I ever saw. I had the privilio be at Wembley when he perform this.
My Nan knew his Mother very well. What makes this whole thing a tragedy was that he was just a very nice human being and having said that he just happened to be one of the most talented people around doin his thing, in his time!! If you sick people are reading this- take this with you. He made a load of people - very very happy. Look at this energy. God bless you Freddie. We miss you and I wish I had seen you live. Don't listen to hate. In life there should be only positive energy and love.
undenieably the absolut highlight of live aid 1985..... i'll never forget the performance of radio gaga.
Une dizaine d'années plus tôt. j'ai vu ce groupe à Sarrebruck, mon ancienne patrie. A cette époque, personne ne songeait à prendre part à un open air concert d'un groupe de format international!

my one big regret is that i never got to see Freddie mercury live, seen video's and listened to shows on the radio, but i missed a great performer/show man..
miss all the great songs queen made..
How is it possible for more than 300 people to dislike this, are they deaf....blind?? ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
He was amazing, a legend, never to be forgotten!!
Amen to that! I was thrilled to see he was honored at the Olympics closing ceremony. He's still a legend 21 years after his death.
One of the only regrets I have for being a 90s child is not being able to fully appreciate the legend and awe that this man creates. He truly is an inspirational and amazing musician comparable to no-one of today's standards.
he more than anyone on that day took the audience, controlled them, lifted them up and possessed them. Bravo. Untouchable.
