      It was July 13, 1985, I was 17 years old and getting ready to start my senior year of high school (just outside of Philadelphia in South Jersey) and attending that concert with a huge group of my friends, to this very day, was one of the BEST days of my life. It was so unbelievable and the feeling that came over us is hard to put into words. I’ll always consider myself extremely lucky to have attended such an historic event.

      Are you talking about George Michael not singing? He sang at the beginning of the song. You could also head his voice during the song. You don’t need to be right up close with professional mics. If someone has a stronger voice than another they are sharing a mic with then they stand back a bit. The mic will still catch them.

Which I credit to the biopic of Queen that just came out. Everyone already knew their incredible music, that is unless you lived under a rock. However, people got to see the side of Freddie that was human. The side that was gentle, shy, funny, sexy, smart, scrappy, courageous, determined etc.....

We came together globally to point out a horrific tragedy & agree to help. But in America, there was hatred & divisiveness too. AIDs was a huge issue & a lot of people were scared. So was the crack epidemic. Famine in Ethiopia brought us together. While “White America /The Moral Majority” tried to make everyone terrified of gay & black people here at home. The only fully politically supported & promoted event from our government was Farm Aid. It was an incredible time, but I don’t want to over romanticize it…

      The media today would not be as forgiving as back then - the artists took a massive amount of the money sent in as 'expenses'.
      Geldof defended this as saying they were used to being flown in helicopters and 5 star champagne for example so it was perfectly normal but no, the whole point of this was to give money to the kids in Africa, so why not for one day, just one day, take the train and not a helicopter, drink some cola and not champagne?
      Not saying the cause and effort was not good more it would not be such a naive audience and media today. Gervais for example would have had a field day.

    As year by year goes, this track will always remain as one of the most legendary Christmas tracks ever created, and what a legacy it has! As literally there's one month left till Christmas, no better time to play it than now, one of the very few tracks that'll never get old, no matter how many times you play it, and still hits the heart, and the same since its release. Amazing how many iconic legends we have collaborating for this iconic hit. Phil Collins with his legendary passionate drumming skills, George Micheal, Sting, Boy George, Bob Geldolf, and many more from the original, but David Bowie, and Freddie should have been apart of it since the start, sad to see that we're slowly losing them one by one, but lets all be grateful. All the best, hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Feliz Natal, and Happy Holidays! 🎄☃🎁👋

Nobody could come to even half close to Freddie's vocals, and then GM came out with Somebody to love and he killed it! Right then, if anybody had any doubt it was sealed in front of million people! George Michael had the vocals that would send shivers through your spine, just like Freddie did! It was surreal, amazing! I never forget that concert!
