    I watched the entire Live Aid show as an 18 year old girl. Both the USA and UK concerts. It was an all day/ night concert with the biggest musical stars in the entire world. However the UK part, as wonderful as they all were? It became known as The Queen Show. Best twenty minutes of musical rock n roll history. Queen wasn’t considered the huge draw by the producers as they weren’t as big then as the newer hotter stars like Phil Collins and U2. More nostalgic. However the producers underestimated the magic of Freddie and Queen. Timeless and hits like a punch today just as it did when I was a kid. I’m a 55 year old woman now, but will never forget that day.

      Saturday 13th July 1985. What a day. A hot, sunny day (unusual for Scotland). 16 yrs old and watched the entire concert from start till end. Opened with Status Quo, Rocking all over the world. Walked to my mates house for an evening Live Aid party and every house had the windows open and concert blaring out. What a day. Once saw an interview with Bob Geldof, he said the concert had gone a bit flat and the donations had started to slow. He had just done a piece to camera backstage asking for more money to be donated when he heard the crowd erupt. WTF has happened he thought. Freddie had just arrived on stage and was doing what he does better than anyone before or since. Had the audience in his hands. Reinvigorated the entire audience of 72,000. The donations started pouring in again.

      This was in 1985 Freddie Mercury was diagnosed in 1987 after becoming ill in late 1986, and only made is known 24hours before his death in 1991. He told the rest of Queen in 1989. So in this performance none of them knew what was about to unfold. Its a misconception that he has dying of Aids here. However, there is a theory that Freddie Mercury contracted HIV early 80s but the tests were not reliable at all and he was not displaying any of the symptoms to make anyone worried or concerned at that time.

    The moment he stepped on stage you could tell this was going to be epic. He didn’t waste anything; he and the band jumped right into it and never came back down. They just kept ascending. That’s hard to do. I’m a true Prince fan at my core and nothing can ever replace him but this guy has my utmost admiration and respect. It’s 2023 and I’ve been around since Purple Rain and now I’m living history by watching a legend pour out his essence.

    Realize just how difficult Queen songs are to sing. Then know that Freddie’s doctors advised him not to sing because of polyps on his vocal cords. He went on anyway and performed the best 20 minutes of music EVER. So , Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio GaGa ( where Lady GaGa took her name) , Ehhoooh , Hammer to Fall ( the biggest hit from their album just released at the time) , Crazy Little Thing Called Love( Freddie wrote it in tribute to Elvis after he died) , We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions. These last two were written to encourage audience participation. They sure did ‼️‼️‼️

    • @mmasque2052
      @mmasque2052 4 роки тому +4

      We Will Rock You and We are the Champions are two completely separate songs. Somewhere after the album was released, some radio DJ had decided both were too short to play individually, so he did a bit of mixing and created the ‘song’ we all know; even if many no longer know who it’s by. But you hear that “ThumpThump CLAP!” And you instinctively understand it.

No one asked him why he did what he did. A lot of his songs where like that. I think that there is only one song that he mentioned a true meaning behind and that is "Love of My Life" which was for Mary Austin is best friend and former fiance.

    By the way, this wasn't even one of "their" concerts - when the tickets were sold, they weren't even on the list of performers, so many in the crowd weren't Queen fans... until after this performance, lol. They were known to fill stadiums in various parts of the world, sometimes playing for 300,000 in one concert. That kind of explains how they were so comfortable playing for the 72,000 at Wembly.

      Before Queen took the stage, Live Aid was pretty much a flop when it came to why it existed; a massive concert televised to raise awareness, and money, for famines in Africa. Viewership was low, donations were few and Bob Geldoff, creator of Live Aid was furious at the lackluster coverage and was on his way behind the scenes to give the BBC a piece of his mind. Then, not originally on the billing, the lead singer ill and advised by his doctor to take the stage, one of their biggest hits hampered because staging and performance considerations wouldn’t permit them to use necessary background recordings, Queen took to the stage. HearingFreddie sing,Bob turned around, knowing things were going to be just fine.

    I remember having my living room full of friends as we gathered together to watch the entire Live Aid for Africa concert as it was happening. It was a very special day for the entire world, and everyone we knew watched it as well. We all felt like we were Brothers and Sisters, regardless of race, color, or country of origin. We were just humans trying to make a difference in our world and combine our efforts to help other humans who desperately needed help. Music brought us all together that day and it was powerful. Queen's performance at the end of the concert was the icing on the cake. It was like magic, and one of the best days of my life. I became a teenager in the late 70's and a young adult in the 80's, and the music during that time was incredible. I'm so glad to see the multitude of 'reaction' videos made by younger generations who are discovering how amazing the music was in those days. Keep listening, and keep discovering, there is much, much more to be uncovered. Peace. ✌

    Awe…. I loved your astonishing lovely ladyesqui response to our Freddie and Queen! How amazing are they? I am so proud to be British and Freddie wasn’t even born here but Zanzibar! He loved England and we love Zanzibar because they gifted us with the greatest singer we have ever known and we will never forget. It is so sad he died so young. Amazing isn’t it how many Queen songs are used in popular culture yet so many still do not know where they originated! Yeah I love Queen singing live more than recorded albums. Radio Gaga, Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love live in Calgary 1981 are just mind blowing! I realise you did this 2 years ago and I have not yet looked into your other stuff… I just wanted to send this instant reply to tell you smiles and joy at this performance made me happy! Hope you are well, take care…. Julie, from Manchester, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x
