Hey, do you know that I'm also a singer? Check out my “All I Want for Christmas Is You” cover 🫶 ua-cam.com/video/BideBSglXcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=paDhBzQACvKh3oE7
My mom always tells me about this concert, she was only 17 years old when she attended, she said all the performance did a amazing show but the one that stood out the most for her was Queen ... especially when they sung "we will rock you" she said she thought the stadium was going to collapse with all the people stomping their feet on the floor... she said she wasn't a big fan of queen but after that day she became one of this biggest fan... she was heart broken when he passed 💔 😢
I was 6 years old when the concert took place, I get acquainted with queen much later, in a 1991 and since then Queen has been the best of the best for me! I would give a lot to see this concert😢
No lasers, no fancy sponsors, NO Auto Tune, just pure and wonderful talent. The late 60's and all of the '70s and '80s...the best 25 years in music history!
Tengo 74 años y doy gracia a la tecnología que me permite escuchar al más grande artista músico compositor y estos eran conciertos gracias Fredy por dejar este legado sin menospreciar Queen y sus músicos grandiosos
Saying that is a little weird dont you think? Before queen people probably said that about other preformances, those kind of comments are discouraging to the next superstars
why hate on others for wanting to enjoy it there way? You claim that back then was better but a big reason it was good was because people did what they want and others STFU and didn't try make them feel bad.
@adamatch9624 o my look who has no manners. She is right. Back then all raw pure talent. And no fools filming all at once living through there little screen instead of taking in the moment. Why the need to film while a gazillion are filming . Makes no sense. Blocking other people few aswell
It's not even that, Freddy took hold and commanded this entire global concert. There is NO other nor will there ever be. Don't forget, he knew he was dying at this point. This was his last performance and legacy.
I was a teenager when Queen was super popular. I listened to their music even when studying for our exams.😊 The greatest band of all in that generation. I'm still listening in 2024. Who's with me? 🤣
Freddy had that whole stadium in the palm of his hand. To have the ability to stop singing and have the audience take over without question is power. Everybody loved him and if I don't miss my guess, we all still do. RIP
Not a God because we have one God that is Jesus Christ. Freddie was a Legend and one of a kind!!! There is no one that can come close to his talent or Queens for that matter!! Pure raw talent like no other!!!
Not sure about that Michael Jackson, Prince etc. But top of the game in their niche. This was a great moment in music history/politics - when the world said NO to doing nothing as people STARVE.
@@mogadon7 Freddie started his journey with Bohemian Rap before MJ Thriller and Queen was established before Prince. They were all talented but no one can beat Freddie, sorry, and I love all three. OH, and I did see Freddie live 3 times and Michael once. Best 4 shows of my life.
Watch Bowies last concert as Ziggy Stardust at Hammersmith Odeon, 1973. Not saying he is a bigger showman than Mercury but if I had to pick, I would definitely chose this concert every time someone asks me "If you could travel back in time, what concert would you got to?" ;)
For me it's Elvis Presley he's always been my top choice. Like others have said MJ and Prince they're not in the same league at all. They're good, just not their level.
2024......Still the greatest live performance in history. It will never be surpassed, Pure unadulterated talent. Freddie had millions of people singing along with every note. Queen truly had the world mesmerised with this fantastic performance.
Absolutely. Live Aid was a brilliant concert that Queen, and Freddie Mercury, totally stole. I don't like being old but I love that I am old enough to have been there. xxx
I also like queen but if he lived 200 -400 years ago.there wasn't stadium, tv rock and pop music. so i think we will never hear great comppser like bach, mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rahmaninov, listz, chopin, debussy and other.
I'm 33. I was born after this. I grew up in a family who loves rock. I grew up believing this was one of the greatest rock performances ever. I grew up, I still believe. This is still my favorite performance ever.
I believe it's often quoted as the greatest live set ever. Can't disagree. I watch it at least twice a year. Definitely one of the top 10, if not 3, bands of all time. 4 great song writers and all genre changing musicians in their own right.
Freddie Mercury was amazing yes, but let's not forget about those "other guys" behind him....all masters of their crafts..so here's a shout out to the one and only Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor!!!
No light show, no wild set, no wireless mics or earpieces, no costume changes, no sweetener tracks...just sheer talent and showmanship from all of them..
Freddy was so absolutely ON during this performance! The band was so tight too. Amazing. I watched it on TV in 1985- I was 20 years old, dancing in my living room, loving the magic that was coming through my TV screen. Now at nearly 59, I'm watching it on my tablet in bed, as my dancing days are over... but my head is happily bobbing in time with the music. This has to be the 15th time I've seen this, & it does not get old. Love it!!
If you divide 35.00 by the number of bands that played, 75, you get about 0.46. By your logic it would cost 46 cents to listen to each band. Your math is off.
My favorite story about this performance is that the first thing Freddie heard when he stepped off stage was his good friend Elton John, paying him a compliment by telling him “Thanks a lot you just fucked it up for the rest of us!”
@@kiza4178 same here.i was 17 in 1985.im 56 now but seeing it after all these years still makes the hairs on back of my neck stand up.still remember waiting for queen to come on as was watching at home.just fantastic. To think how much more brilliant music with them if Freddie hadn't died in 1991.in my opinion mercury was the best male singer ever.
👍🏼👍🏼 you’re so right!!! And it is according to polls. I’d read a poll was taken on which band was the best that day. 60% came in Queen, followed by Bowie, McCartney, Elton, U2, Collins & Madonna in Philly. I see most were in the UK lol….that breaks up the 40! Going down as [one of] if not the greatest live rock performance in history. BOOM!!
Imagine a time when mobile phones weren't invented and people stood and watched great music being performed by real artists and musicians, things aren't quite what they used to be are they? 🤔😅 Anyway rock on people of UA-cam and keep listening to QUEEN! 🔥🤘🙌👏👊💖🔥
Best live rock performance EVER..... no questions, no argument, no exception. Wish I could have been there. Never in history has anyone had such command of 70,000 people. No politician, no president, no actor, no athlete..... nobody! What a wonderful person Freddie was!
Yeah, it was a memorable Concert. I remember watching it at home, in 1985, it seems such a long time ago now. Queen's performance was one of the highlights of the day for me. A long with : U2's. It's a bit emotional listening /and watching this footage in October 2022
Mi fa pensare alla mia mamma che non c’è più e alla vita che ci ha potuto insegnare sulle differenze sessuali perché ognuno è uguale a tutti indistintamente senza diversità ❤
For those who keep asking if anybody is watching in 20XX year.. the answer is yes. Weve been watching since the 1970s and well continue until we cant watch anymore!
I’ve watched/listened to this 25 X or more. As screwed up as our world is this makes or should make you happy. It works for me. Yanni is another that can bring the world together in his music.
The world lost a phenomenal man. I envy those who saw Queen live. They witnessed Rock music at its heights. Thank goodness we have the recordings and videos.
I saw them when I was in College, got back to late . We were locked out of our dorm, thank goodness a friend let us sleep in the basement of his dorm. Was so worth it, best concert I ever saw.🎉Freddie, such an amazing voice. MAY HE RIP.
The day he passed, our entire high school had a moment of silence. Many thanks to the teachers who understood and respected how much music meant to us. Thank you, Freddy. Thank you, Queen. Pity most kids today will never remember Live Aid.
You can't remember something that was long gone before you were even born, the comment made no sense whatsoever. I however do remember that event and we were so upset it was somewhere we couldn't at that time get to lol. The TV was enough but for those who were actually there it must have been amazing.
Clearly the news was released the next day which is when we all mourned. Thete is a time diffferemce too. Lol. No internet back then. Not everything was immediate then.
@@ravenmoonspicer4781 Yep we had a section in our morning assembly at school, including a silence and recognition of his achievements. That was in a UK primary school too (ages 5 to 11.) No idea what day the assembly was (clearly not Sunday) but it absolutely happened, and I remember it vividly, as queen were such a huge part of my childhood.
To answer is anyone watching this in 2024 ..Hell ya by far the best lead singer of all time for a man as sick as he was he saved the whole concert I truly miss that God of music thank you to Queen for getting me through all my ups and downs.....
Here it is 2022, almost 40 years later, and I can’t stop watching. Freddie’s voice was just amazing. Such a awesome performer. The whole band very talented!
Im 41 this year and watched it with my parents as a kid. My dad still talks about how Freddy stole the show and we still watch it regularly. You’re right it’s special ❤
PERFECT. No lip-synching, nothing prerecorded, just a 100 percent live on stage performance, the likes of which we may hear again...and I'm not holding my breath.
Most singers, bands and celebrities of today live on their reputations and hype-created legends that never existed in the first place. In the 20th century people actually had to be good at something to be famous...and be able to prove it.
It never gets old. Every now and then someone comes along that is just too big for this world. Rest in peace Freddie. The world will never let you be forgotten.
Because of the satellite link to Philadelphia, MTV, and all the stations around the world, 2 billion people witnessed this moment in time. It changed the world, and it changed me. Never again will more than half the world watch something together, laugh together, sing together. This moment will never be matched until the end of time.
@@photoisca7386 I never said it did, I just named several different reasons the concert reached as many people as it did. (as well as the other live concert that contributed to the viewership. In Philly). I never said the Philly concert was the reason it was a success, just a factor. No need to be a petty jerk about it. Good grief what an insufferable and incorrect reply. Get over yourself.
Second that. Watched it on TV like you. Was an incredible time to be alive and a part of something, even if it was just being caught up in the moment with half the world. Queen in London and in Philly, The Cars doing Drive. Just amazing.
My mom loved queen and Everytime I watch and listen to this I feel like she's right here whistling away.....she was a whistler.... I love you mom RIP 2020
Im only 19 now, but what would i give to experience this in my teenage years. Must have been great times for music. I feel like music was worth so much more back then😢
It was. Radio was KING. And in my ears....it still is. I was 14 when this happened and as G-d as my witness, I've never seen its equal in the 39 years since.
I remember this like it was yesterday, clichéd as that is ! But 1985 was yesterday to me. I LOVED the 1980' s. The music, the fashion, the whole thing. I was 23 when Live Aid happened. I was a student nurse, and my 3 flatmates and I sat and watched the whole thing. We sang, we danced, we laughed and we cried. It was a very moving event. We felt very much part of something bigger, something important. It was a real zeitgeist moment in time . In our naive innocence, we thought that with the amount of money raised, it would bring about such changes in Africa. We were wrong of course . But I will NEVER forget that day 😊
My son asked, how can so many people come when there is no social media to announce such event. Told him, son, our times was a unique era that can never be duplicated. The bottom line of live aid is to help a famine stricken country. We were brought by a common love to help others, and it was so genuine and pure, that’s why so many came and watch in every country. Those who helped were never mentioned and do not need to. We need this again❤
There was social media back then. It was called the radio. I live in Philly, the other half of this concert. The local rock stations promoted the hell out of this for months before.
@alvinwagnpor eso el radio es lo más importante . Lo viven la película de la Sociedad de la nueve.bla radio permitió que se fueran cuenta los sobrevivientes que habían llegado a pedir la ayuda. er6085
@@cheaserceaser I was 8 year-old I watched this on TV it was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. It was a fund raiser as there was a famine in Ethiopia.
I miss the times when technology didn't turn people's brains into mush and when relationships between people were more lasting and real, when you listened to music from purchased records, your own collection, and not from fucking Spotify, from the hands of globalists.
@@criticalhippo5927 Thank you for saying that. I've been having a hard time recently, and I found comfort listening to songs from the 80s. I'm trying to live in the present;)
It was normal. We read books, we talked to each other, we wrote letters, we played in the streets until dark, we talked on the phone… I was born in 1960 and am so glad I didn’t grow up with “socials” dictating my every thought process. I learned critical thinking not mass psychology… yes we have the world at out fingertips now but there is something to be said for being totally, completely, unplugged.
I could put this performance on a loop and watch it forever. I saw black and white poster of Freddy once and it said, "When I was a lad, my mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be. So I became a legend." How right he was. The rush it must have been looking out and seeing 73,000 people knowing every word and loving every minute of your remarkable talent. He made the world a better place and will be remembered forever.
After watching this again for like the millionth time , I know todays music doesn't even hold a candle to this , this was sheer talent with no auto tune nonsense which todays artist can't live without
The funniest thing about this was that no other band wanted this particular spot in the show. But Freddie was smart enough to know it would be broadcast in the USA at prime time and he took it over his agent's objections. People who had never seen Queen live got a taste of the magic, talent and charisma of the group. The rest is history.
if this was a different band you normally get upset because you're so much into singing then they cut and transitioned to another song but then you realized "oh radio ga ga!" yeah!!!
@@juanderingsoul They cut the song suddenly because in this concert, every band had only 20 minutes to play, therefore they couldn't play the whole song
When I was 17 and decided to give up on church and Jesus I looked up to the sky and with anger in my heart I renounced God. The next day I went to a cd store and bought the maroon cover Queen Greatest Hits Album I don’t know why I chose it but queen literally liberated my prisoner religion soul. Now after two decades I love my God without having to go to church and I listen to this awesome kind of music. Thank you God for talents like queen.
I agree as well!!! It makes it even more special/significant now , knowing that Freddie was so terribly unwell at that very moment in time when doing the concert, yet gave such a polished, heartfelt, perfect (or as close to, as far as I’m concerned) performance!!!! He knew it was going to be the last time he performed live, as did his fellow Band Mates, Family and certain close friends, etc.
@@brisvegasblonde6191 I don’t want to say you are wrong with your facts but live Aid was not Queens last live performance with Freddy. Fact, Freddy was sick with the Virus at this time and showing various symptoms but not yet officially diagnosed, that did not come until 1987. Queens final live performance with Freddy out front took place on 9 August 1986 at Knebworth Park in England. Freddy would pass away from the AIDS Virus late 1991. It really doesn’t matter because Freddy was sick and Queens Live aid performance has been judged by the top artist as being the best live performance ever of all time.
Don't agree - they were the certainly band who used the performance most successfully, to promote the remainder of their career. But there were lots of very popular performances on the day - Bowie, Sting, McCartney, U2, Elton John, Madonna etc were at the peak of their careers. This wasn't a big thing for them Queen were going nowhere in 1985. It was a huge thing for them
I dressed up as Freddie today for Halloween and wore what he wore in live aid, I always tell myself and others that if I could time travel to the past one thing I would do is go to live aid and see queen in person at their best performance of all time. RIP Freddie Mercury, I wish I could have been alive when you were, it would have been a dream come true to see perform you in person and maybe even meet you
I am 82 years old and unfortunately missed the live Freddy. Too busy with carriers, family and life. I saw the movie Bohemian Rapasdy and was amazed by Queen. Better let than never. The group and FP will never be duplicated. I can listen to their music over and over and never get tired of it.
Freddy was one of a kind. No CGI, no autotune, no fake, only pure talent. You can hear his voice breaking, but he still gives all there is to give in him despite all the pain allready.
@@do2219 No, but he *did* have a nasty throat infection at the time, and his doctor had advised him not to perform. His response was that the show must go on. And he killed it, because he was Freddie Mercury. That's why his voice *does* crack a couple of times, and he goes out of tune a few times like he normally never did live. He wasn't well at the time, but it also wasn't AIDS related like that stupid movie implied.
My mother and father were in this crowd. I was 1 year old during the time of this performance. Freddie was born to perform and was taken far too soon. I guess it's true what they say, "A light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long". We miss you Freddie, thank you for all the memories.
Greatest voice ever! And such a body, strutting and sliding..... nobody does a show like Freddie & Queen. I'm almost 80, so I've seen & listened to lots in my lifetime. Thank you, Freddie.
Queen was gaining fame far before my time, and Freddie died 2 years before I was born. But their songs are popular to this day, and they even hit a chord with me. This performance gives me chills. He was electric, iconic. Queen is and always will be icons.
Our parents are usually the ones that first introduce us to great music made before our time. I grew up in the '80s, but my mother used to force us to listen to "her music" (the '60s) in the car and I grew to like much of it.
This man was an amazing singer and performer. Unbelievable singer. Im 53 and Queen was my first favorite band in high school. Queen remains to be my favorite band. Legendary.
So grateful to be able to witness this masterpiece through the help of Internet.... I can hardly imagine how it must have felt to all the people who watched it live in 1985, Absolute Chills!!!!!!!! 🥹✨️
No other musician/singer in history has given a crowd of 72,000 people a vocals challenge and made it fun. Freddy mercury’s talent’s are truly breath taking as they are admirable
Wahtching this in November 2024, in 1985 I was eight years old, and I’m a big fan of Mr. Freddie and passed this love for his music to my son, who now is 21 years old. Now I’m 47 and as my son says this is a Masterpiece ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Artistically, it's not necessarily an incredible loss, don't think Queen had more than 1 solid album left in them. But to pass at such an early age is always a tragedy, no argument about that.
@@chelsblue7370 They made NIght At The Opera album. Declared most artistic rock album of all times. They didn't made one solid album, they made album and create history.
I remember this concert very well. It was broadcast worldwide live. Man! I was 16 years old that was the best performance of all time. peace to everyone listening. Thank you
The feeling of a stadium of people who support you and are speaking the song back to you while the song goes on - that has to be one of the most surreal experiences
Some moments in history are just to big to fully understand, this is one of those moments. Freddie didn’t just move the crowd that was there, he moved the world all at one. He unified the world for 20 minutes. Any who listens can feel unity with the world. RIP Freddie Mercury and thank you for this moment
@@Konomi.Himura true lol, but it doesn't change the fact that he indeed did leave a mark in history and his death had a massive impact on the rock world
@@Konomi.Himura . Not sure if you are old enough to witness it live, but it was a weird time in history then. Most of America, and some of the world, was still indifferent towards the gay community and still rather hostile. For me, to see a gay man (person) that compassionate about something, like most of us, despite what people think of him, and to think he had half the population in his hands was pretty remarkable to this teen. I’ll never forget it. I did feel like I was connected to the whole world. Not only to make a difference but celebrate Freddie and all he is
@@jabronie8058 like you said, "for me", you're exaggerating it quite a lot, acting like your feelings were the worlds feelings. I've been to live aid, and they were a big deal, but it really wasn't a unified world big deal....
Absolutely the most remarkable performer no one before or since Freddy has commanded an audience as much as him because of all the love saw him many times in Madison Square Garden miss him so much!
in my opinion, queen is the best band of all time. i'm only 19, but queen has had a huge impact on my life. music is my favorite thing on the planet, and i quite literally listen to everything, but absolutely no one could ever top queen. if i only had 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in my life, i would want to spend it listening to bohemian rhapsody. freddie mercury is the best performer i've ever seen. i wish i was alive when he was. long live queen.

Have you been living under a fucking rock?
머큐리가 4살동생이라는게 더 놀랍습니다.
39 years ago tomorrow and Queen’s performance is still considered the most iconic of the 20th century. We miss you Freddie! 🎸🎤🎹
Nobody does it better!!
Amen
Agreed!! ❤
I believe it's often quoted as the greatest live set ever. Can't disagree. I watch it at least twice a year. Definitely one of the top 10, if not 3, bands of all time. 4 great song writers and all genre changing musicians in their own right.
@@EireannSpooner - Thanks for the clarity. I think Freddie would be over the moon knowing Roger and Brian found Adam and are still going strong.
Freddie Mercury was amazing yes, but let's not forget about those "other guys" behind him....all masters of their crafts..so here's a shout out to the one and only Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor!!!
They were definitely more than the sum of their parts.
John took Freddie's death especially hard
He is a gem
I Love you
Yes indeed very well stated !!
And Spike Edney
No lip syncing. Pure talent. No artist today can match Queen in a live performance when I saw them in 1979.
No light show, no wild set, no wireless mics or earpieces, no costume changes, no sweetener tracks...just sheer talent and showmanship from all of them..
I LOVE Queen and Freddie. BUT show wise I`m just gonna say RAMMSTEIN
@@KoenigHendrikHarald I saw Rammstein two times both times they were amazing. But nothing beats this performance of Queen
Oh my gosh your so lucky, remember that forever!
You are one lucky person sir😊
Anybody watching this in November 2024?
Not sure.. I frome mauritius ..and I still love.. his song..and am 40..
Yep
Únicos e inolvidables Queen ❤❤❤
Yes me, just now
He ist the best.
Freddy was so absolutely ON during this performance! The band was so tight too. Amazing. I watched it on TV in 1985- I was 20 years old, dancing in my living room, loving the magic that was coming through my TV screen. Now at nearly 59, I'm watching it on my tablet in bed, as my dancing days are over... but my head is happily bobbing in time with the music. This has to be the 15th time I've seen this, & it does not get old. Love it!!
Nicely said.
I was 14.5y remember it like yesterday.
I was 24 and captivated by every moment. 🥰🙌🏻💕
Dancing days are never over…
You and me both, same age, time off work, absolutely loved it. Just watched again on me tablet. Xxx
75 bands played.
$35.00 for a ticket.
$2.14 for the greatest 20 minutes in music history.
Not a bad deal.
only truths! queen forever
remember that $35 in 1985 is about $100 today. still, one of the best performances ever
@@gvm_l4088 Considering the line-up of A-list artists that day, Bowie, U2, Madonna, et al, *_well_* worth the price.
If you divide 35.00 by the number of bands that played, 75, you get about 0.46. By your logic it would cost 46 cents to listen to each band. Your math is off.
you divided it the wrong way smh
My favorite story about this performance is that the first thing Freddie heard when he stepped off stage was his good friend Elton John, paying him a compliment by telling him “Thanks a lot you just fucked it up for the rest of us!”
they could not match him!
LOL
Bowie was the one man who could come on after him
I thought it was Bowie who told Freddie to "f**k o**, don't expect me to go on after that"
Mama ❤
It was a great time to be alive. I was 33 years old. Loved it all then and still do at 72
Ja też miałam 33 lata w listopadzie jak umarł Freedi👑 i też uwielbiałam ich i do dziś kocham 👑❤️
@@kiza4178 same here.i was 17 in 1985.im 56 now but seeing it after all these years still makes the hairs on back of my neck stand up.still remember waiting for queen to come on as was watching at home.just fantastic. To think how much more brilliant music with them if Freddie hadn't died in 1991.in my opinion mercury was the best male singer ever.
This must be considered the greatest live performance of all times.
👍🏼👍🏼 you’re so right!!!
And it is according to polls. I’d read a poll was taken on which band was the best that day. 60% came in Queen, followed by Bowie, McCartney, Elton, U2, Collins & Madonna in Philly. I see most were in the UK lol….that breaks up the 40! Going down as [one of] if not the greatest live rock performance in history. BOOM!!
It generally is. Nothing comes close.
@@TechnoWillNeverDie nope!! 💖
Got my vote
Amazing!!
The best live performance by anyone. Mobile phones weren't a thing then and the whole audience just lived the never to be forgotten moment. Brilliant.
You’re right 👌👌👌
Oasis knebworth 1996 up there to
True Or else We see mobile phones up in the air
Imagine a time when mobile phones weren't invented and people stood and watched great music being performed by real artists and musicians, things aren't quite what they used to be are they? 🤔😅 Anyway rock on people of UA-cam and keep listening to QUEEN! 🔥🤘🙌👏👊💖🔥
Disagree.
The best 20 minutes of music in existence.
From a time when we thought we could make the world a better place.
Right, I was there, those times. When we thought....😢❤
It did make the world a better place. Raised a lot of money to help feed starving folks in africa.
Ainda existe idiotas qte se deixam levar pelas drogas
The works looked to us to make it a better place.

Best live rock performance EVER..... no questions, no argument, no exception. Wish I could have been there. Never in history has anyone had such command of 70,000 people. No politician, no president, no actor, no athlete..... nobody! What a wonderful person Freddie was!
Yeah, it was a memorable Concert. I remember watching it at home, in 1985, it seems such a long time ago now. Queen's performance was one of the highlights of the day for me. A long with : U2's. It's a bit emotional listening /and watching this footage in October 2022
Mi fa pensare alla mia mamma che non c’è più e alla vita che ci ha potuto insegnare sulle differenze sessuali perché ognuno è uguale a tutti indistintamente senza diversità ❤

UA-cam is the time machine
I’ve watched/listened to this 25 X or more. As screwed up as our world is this makes or should make you happy. It works for me. Yanni is another that can bring the world together in his music.
Watching this in oct 2024 ❤ there will never be another Freddie ❤ pure raw talent x
Absolutely you are right
3rd november 24 😊
The world lost a phenomenal man. I envy those who saw Queen live. They witnessed Rock music at its heights. Thank goodness we have the recordings and videos.
He was great it's a shame he died 😢
I saw them when I was in College, got back to late . We were locked out of our dorm, thank goodness a friend let us sleep in the basement of his dorm. Was so worth it, best concert I ever saw.🎉Freddie, such an amazing voice. MAY HE RIP.
Was there on that day and I can tell you it was beyond awesome…the world has last a music legend
The day he passed, our entire high school had a moment of silence. Many thanks to the teachers who understood and respected how much music meant to us. Thank you, Freddy. Thank you, Queen. Pity most kids today will never remember Live Aid.
You can't remember something that was long gone before you were even born, the comment made no sense whatsoever. I however do remember that event and we were so upset it was somewhere we couldn't at that time get to lol. The TV was enough but for those who were actually there it must have been amazing.
Did you go to school on a sunday?🤭
Clearly the news was released the next day which is when we all mourned. Thete is a time diffferemce too. Lol. No internet back then. Not everything was immediate then.
@@ravenmoonspicer4781 Yep we had a section in our morning assembly at school, including a silence and recognition of his achievements. That was in a UK primary school too (ages 5 to 11.) No idea what day the assembly was (clearly not Sunday) but it absolutely happened, and I remember it vividly, as queen were such a huge part of my childhood.
But thanks to You Tube it will ALWAYS be remembered. Also it was recorded through MTV, and I’m sure they will replay it on various anniversarys.
To answer is anyone watching this in 2024 ..Hell ya by far the best lead singer of all time for a man as sick as he was he saved the whole concert I truly miss that God of music thank you to Queen for getting me through all my ups and downs.....
Я смотрю с удовольствием!)

PERFECT. No lip-synching, nothing prerecorded, just a 100 percent live on stage performance, the likes of which we may hear again...and I'm not holding my breath.
👏👏👏
Most singers, bands and celebrities of today live on their reputations and hype-created legends that never existed in the first place. In the 20th century people actually had to be good at something to be famous...and be able to prove it.
@@crocodile1313u said it perfectly
Absolutely THE BEST!! To walk out there and give THAT performance!! I'll never see ANYTHING better!!
They stole the show.
The way this guy could command tens of thousands of people will forever be unsurpassed
This is the gold standard of live performance ever.

Even though Freddy new he was dying he gave it all as he always did.
Yep, Nearly, but i think this one beats it just. Both Awesome performances.ua-cam.com/video/51Q5ImAFqeo/v-deo.html

Because of the satellite link to Philadelphia, MTV, and all the stations around the world, 2 billion people witnessed this moment in time. It changed the world, and it changed me. Never again will more than half the world watch something together, laugh together, sing together. This moment will never be matched until the end of time.
I was really young then when this happened. Really? Was it televised live from London to US and other parts of d world?
I don't think this concert relied on a link to the U.S to be a success. Typical American view of the world.
@@photoisca7386 I never said it did, I just named several different reasons the concert reached as many people as it did. (as well as the other live concert that contributed to the viewership. In Philly). I never said the Philly concert was the reason it was a success, just a factor. No need to be a petty jerk about it. Good grief what an insufferable and incorrect reply. Get over yourself.
@@photoisca7386 Try not to be a twat. That's not what he said at all.
Second that. Watched it on TV like you. Was an incredible time to be alive and a part of something, even if it was just being caught up in the moment with half the world. Queen in London and in Philly, The Cars doing Drive. Just amazing.
My mom loved queen and Everytime I watch and listen to this I feel like she's right here whistling away.....she was a whistler.... I love you mom RIP 2020
When they introduced them as "Her Majesty, Queen!!" and like ten of thousands of people cheer in freaking 1985 I tered up. They were so so loved.
PEOPLE LOST THEIR MINDS!
Prince Charles got confused & stood up for his mum. Princess Diana was loving that it was meant for her good buddy!!
Im only 19 now, but what would i give to experience this in my teenage years. Must have been great times for music. I feel like music was worth so much more back then😢
Oh honey it was.😊
It was. Radio was KING. And in my ears....it still is. I was 14 when this happened and as G-d as my witness, I've never seen its equal in the 39 years since.
I remember this like it was yesterday, clichéd as that is !
But 1985 was yesterday to me. I LOVED the 1980' s.
The music, the fashion, the whole thing.
I was 23 when Live Aid happened. I was a student nurse, and my 3 flatmates and I sat and watched the whole thing. We sang, we danced, we laughed and we cried.
It was a very moving event.
We felt very much part of something bigger, something important. It was a real zeitgeist moment in time .
In our naive innocence, we thought that with the amount of money raised, it would bring about such changes in Africa.
We were wrong of course . But I will NEVER forget that day 😊
Today it is shit, sad to say.
Yes, a rock concert was freakin AMAZING!! Been to many but sadly, not Queen. So sad l missed out on seeing Freddie. RIP Freddie ❤❤❤ A huge fan!
Simply amazing. His voice, his look, his band, his stage presence, his charisma, his ability to hold a crowd in the palm of his hand, AMAZING!!!!
Amazing gifts - and he utilized them with all his energetic determination❤
... his passion!
The movie “BOHEMIAN RAPSODY”………best music movie ever!,
@@bestmommy1462 so true ❤️
No one has ever come close since
I would empty my bank account to see queen perform live ever again. Truly legends
Me too
My son asked, how can so many people come when there is no social media to announce such event. Told him, son, our times was a unique era that can never be duplicated. The bottom line of live aid is to help a famine stricken country. We were brought by a common love to help others, and it was so genuine and pure, that’s why so many came and watch in every country. Those who helped were never mentioned and do not need to. We need this again❤
Did Queen have concerts to help the hundreds of millions of migrants in US, Canada, and Europe?
❣❤
There was social media back then. It was called the radio. I live in Philly, the other half of this concert. The local rock stations promoted the hell out of this for months before.

no internet, no phones, and no socials… definitely better than todays
I didn't live in the 80s, but I'm sure the world was as NORMAL
I miss the times when technology didn't turn people's brains into mush and when relationships between people were more lasting and real, when you listened to music from purchased records, your own collection, and not from fucking Spotify, from the hands of globalists.
Everything felt real, not like nowadays
@@pmiskiewiczgrow up man, don't be stuck in the past.
@@criticalhippo5927 Thank you for saying that. I've been having a hard time recently, and I found comfort listening to songs from the 80s. I'm trying to live in the present;)
It was normal. We read books, we talked to each other, we wrote letters, we played in the streets until dark, we talked on the phone… I was born in 1960 and am so glad I didn’t grow up with “socials” dictating my every thought process. I learned critical thinking not mass psychology… yes we have the world at out fingertips now but there is something to be said for being totally, completely, unplugged.
I could put this performance on a loop and watch it forever. I saw black and white poster of Freddy once and it said, "When I was a lad, my mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be. So I became a legend." How right he was. The rush it must have been looking out and seeing 73,000 people knowing every word and loving every minute of your remarkable talent.
He made the world a better place and will be remembered forever.

Мы чемпионы мой друг
I do love some new music but hearing Taylor Swift being referred to as a genius makes me shudder. This is gold and there is nothing like it today.
The funniest thing about this was that no other band wanted this particular spot in the show. But Freddie was smart enough to know it would be broadcast in the USA at prime time and he took it over his agent's objections. People who had never seen Queen live got a taste of the magic, talent and charisma of the group. The rest is history.
Thats dumb, it was around noon in America that time.
@@emforen It broadcast in the US on a delay that day.

@@geraldinenolan6312and that's why their songs are immortal.
if this was a different band you normally get upset because you're so much into singing then they cut and transitioned to another song but then you realized "oh radio ga ga!" yeah!!!
@@juanderingsoul They cut the song suddenly because in this concert, every band had only 20 minutes to play, therefore they couldn't play the whole song
When I was 17 and decided to give up on church and Jesus I looked up to the sky and with anger in my heart I renounced God. The next day I went to a cd store and bought the maroon cover Queen Greatest Hits Album I don’t know why I chose it but queen literally liberated my prisoner religion soul. Now after two decades I love my God without having to go to church and I listen to this awesome kind of music. Thank you God for talents like queen.
Best 22+ minutes of pure talent in a concert I have ever heard. Queen is still relavent today. Amazing group.
Aesons!
Queen completely stole the entire Live Aid show, and it was a moment of pure love and joy.
I agree! Didn’t Diana have something to with them headlining this? I’m probably wrong I was a teen then but they were brilliant showmen,
I agree as well!!! It makes it even more special/significant now , knowing that Freddie was so terribly unwell at that very moment in time when doing the concert, yet gave such a polished, heartfelt, perfect (or as close to, as far as I’m concerned) performance!!!!
He knew it was going to be the last time he performed live, as did his fellow Band Mates, Family and certain close friends, etc.
@@brisvegasblonde6191 I don’t want to say you are wrong with your facts but live Aid was not Queens last live performance with Freddy. Fact, Freddy was sick with the Virus at this time and showing various symptoms but not yet officially diagnosed, that did not come until 1987. Queens final live performance with Freddy out front took place on 9 August 1986 at Knebworth Park in England. Freddy would pass away from the AIDS Virus late 1991.
It really doesn’t matter because Freddy was sick and Queens Live aid performance has been judged by the top artist as being the best live performance ever of all time.
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!!!
Don't agree - they were the certainly band who used the performance most successfully, to promote the remainder of their career. But there were lots of very popular performances on the day - Bowie, Sting, McCartney, U2, Elton John, Madonna etc were at the peak of their careers. This wasn't a big thing for them
Queen were going nowhere in 1985. It was a huge thing for them

I dressed up as Freddie today for Halloween and wore what he wore in live aid, I always tell myself and others that if I could time travel to the past one thing I would do is go to live aid and see queen in person at their best performance of all time. RIP Freddie Mercury, I wish I could have been alive when you were, it would have been a dream come true to see perform you in person and maybe even meet you
I am 82 years old and unfortunately missed the live Freddy. Too busy with carriers, family and life. I saw the movie Bohemian Rapasdy and was amazed by Queen. Better let than never. The group and FP will never be duplicated. I can listen to their music over and over and never get tired of it.
Такой живой человек не может быть другим. Только живым. :)
Agree 💯!!!
Forever AMAZING!!!
WAIT- Bro did you even participate in WWII
HE WAS A LEGEND AND ALWAYS WILL BE REMEMBERED AS ONE AND SO WAS HIS CREW
Freddy was one of a kind. No CGI, no autotune, no fake, only pure talent. You can hear his voice breaking, but he still gives all there is to give in him despite all the pain allready.
*Freddie
@@susanorchard1994 Yes, Karen.
Ignore the movie; he hadn't been diagnosed yet in 1985.
@@do2219 No, but he *did* have a nasty throat infection at the time, and his doctor had advised him not to perform. His response was that the show must go on. And he killed it, because he was Freddie Mercury.
That's why his voice *does* crack a couple of times, and he goes out of tune a few times like he normally never did live. He wasn't well at the time, but it also wasn't AIDS related like that stupid movie implied.
My mother and father were in this crowd. I was 1 year old during the time of this performance. Freddie was born to perform and was taken far too soon. I guess it's true what they say, "A light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long". We miss you Freddie, thank you for all the memories.
I was 2 years old my parents were watching live aid live from the Netherlands on the TV. lol
Greatest voice ever! And such a body, strutting and sliding..... nobody does a show like Freddie & Queen. I'm almost 80, so I've seen & listened to lots in my lifetime. Thank you, Freddie.
Queen was gaining fame far before my time, and Freddie died 2 years before I was born. But their songs are popular to this day, and they even hit a chord with me. This performance gives me chills. He was electric, iconic. Queen is and always will be icons.
Couldnt agree more! Gives me chills everytime I watch the concert, what a musical genius he was!
My kids are 33 & 34 and were raised on Queen.
My kids are 17, 20, 28 and they are Queen’s fans🇬🇧
Our parents are usually the ones that first introduce us to great music made before our time. I grew up in the '80s, but my mother used to force us to listen to "her music" (the '60s) in the car and I grew to like much of it.
Legends, all 4 of them. As long as we play their music they will rock on!
This man was an amazing singer and performer. Unbelievable singer. Im 53 and Queen was my first favorite band in high school. Queen remains to be my favorite band. Legendary.

So grateful to be able to witness this masterpiece through the help of Internet.... I can hardly imagine how it must have felt to all the people who watched it live in 1985, Absolute Chills!!!!!!!! 🥹✨️
That mutha had the most charisma ever in the history of music. Also the luck of having three brilliant musicians, but ol' Fred was something else.

My God Freddy was amazing, what a incredible loss when he passed
Its amazing that he was ever here.
Artistically, it's not necessarily an incredible loss, don't think Queen had more than 1 solid album left in them. But to pass at such an early age is always a tragedy, no argument about that.
@@chelsblue7370 highly disagree. Freddie and Queen had so much more left in them. Music today would be so different if Freddie was still alive.

Some moments in history are just to big to fully understand, this is one of those moments. Freddie didn’t just move the crowd that was there, he moved the world all at one. He unified the world for 20 minutes. Any who listens can feel unity with the world. RIP Freddie Mercury and thank you for this moment
that's quite exaggerated.
@@Konomi.Himura true lol, but it doesn't change the fact that he indeed did leave a mark in history and his death had a massive impact on the rock world
@@Konomi.Himura . Not sure if you are old enough to witness it live, but it was a weird time in history then. Most of America, and some of the world, was still indifferent towards the gay community and still rather hostile. For me, to see a gay man (person) that compassionate about something, like most of us, despite what people think of him, and to think he had half the population in his hands was pretty remarkable to this teen. I’ll never forget it. I did feel like I was connected to the whole world. Not only to make a difference but celebrate Freddie and all he is
@@jabronie8058 like you said, "for me", you're exaggerating it quite a lot, acting like your feelings were the worlds feelings. I've been to live aid, and they were a big deal, but it really wasn't a unified world big deal....
@@Konomi.Himura not really you do know that 40 % i think they say 1.4 or 1.6 billion of the worlds population watched this
An outstanding performer who can lead a huge crowd like this no one would come close to Freddie Mercury.
Neste milênio não vai existir alguém tão cedo com esta genialidade.
I sometimes get sad when the realization hits me that I will never get to see him perform live. What a legend!
Absolutely the most remarkable performer no one before or since Freddy has commanded an audience as much as him because of all the love saw him many times in Madison Square Garden miss him so much!
Me too 😢
I cry😤
True..
"for 21 minutes england was ruled by a different queen" legendary all the love ever goes to these four super humans. ♡
in my opinion, queen is the best band of all time. i'm only 19, but queen has had a huge impact on my life. music is my favorite thing on the planet, and i quite literally listen to everything, but absolutely no one could ever top queen. if i only had 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in my life, i would want to spend it listening to bohemian rhapsody. freddie mercury is the best performer i've ever seen. i wish i was alive when he was. long live queen.
You've got great taste, when you get a chance and if you can find it, watch the 1986 A Kind Of Magic Gig at Wembley
That's so amazing to hear from someone so young,, good taste mate😊
2nd, nothing compears to led zeplin
They will always be one of the greatest bands of all time
Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, and Prince will always the best singers and performers of all time
