I am 66 years old now and was lucky enough to be there on the day and I have been to loads of live concerts over the years and I can’t recall another performer who could work the crowd like Freddie,
He loved having the audience participate in the music. Queen was one of the first bands to really understand that idea, that it was okay for the audience to sing along with the band, that it connects them to the band and the music.
Is it fair to say Queen’s Live Aid performance is arguably the greatest 20 minutes in music history? It’s definitely up there, as is Queen as one of the greatest bands of all time.
It's most definitely the greatest in music history. Nothing can come close to it. Be it amount of people gathered, singing along, common ground in terms of music in general. Not even including the performance in and off itself. Inarguably, the most significant and greatest performance of music ever.
@@timbaud5704I don’t doubt it was outstanding, but I don’t think we can really rank a performance that went unrecorded as none of us can actually see or hear it for ourselves.
Possibly. One I really love, though it is actually about 10 minutes, is Lynard Skynard doing Freebird at Knebworth, England 1976. Its the famous show where they opened for the stones and walked down the special "tongue" walkway/stage set up for the stones and did one of the all time great bits of live guitar work I've ever heard. Also, there are some times when The Grateful Dead were really ON and did something spectacular in improvisation. But this one is probably what I'd personally go with.
My grandparents went to this concert and they said it was something that’s so once in a lifetime that it can’t be put into words the emotions and feelings of going to one of the biggest concerts ever preformed
Single-handedly the greatest band biopic ever produced. And single-handedly the best movie based concert. I absolutely get chills every time I watch this
The attention to detail in these scenes is amazing. Everything from the way Mercury sang the songs to little things like his adjusting the sound before breaking into “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the half empty Pepsi/beer cups on top of the piano are immaculate. This is a masterclass in cinematography.
They must've changed something, cause a lot of scenes with the camera sucked. Liked when they was talking in a restaurant, and the camera would be pointed to someone, as someone is talking...
The 1 Thing they Didn't Get Right was Rami Maleks Fake Mouth Movements. He Obviously wasn't Singing Live cause His Mouth Movements are All Wrong and Don't Make Sense with the Way Freddie's Singing. if you watch the Real Freddie Sing this in the Footage of the Real Wembley Concert He opens His Mouth a Bit Wider and Shows More Teeth when Singing Bohemian Rhapsody where as Rami dosen't. Rami keeps His Mouth a Little Too Closed to be Actually Making those Same Sounds Vocally and Dosen't Show Enough Teeth.
One detail I found impressive is Freddie not singing the line 'build your muscles as your body decays' when they're performing Hammer to Fall...just like in the actual performance in 1985
@@Kinseliplier Exactly! Freddie just sang with the right vocals, he used resonators and vocal supports. Despite the fact that Freddie did not study vocals, he had them correctly. Rami sings here like a beginner. Nothing to do with proper vocals.
He may be American. But I have only seen Rami Malek, play 2 British people, in 2 different British movies. He played Freddie Mercury in this movie of Bohemian Rhapsody. And then he played a British villain, in the last Daniel Craig James Bond movie, of No Time To Die.
@@awesometacularhero I was first introduced to him in the TV show “War at Home“ where he played the super flamboyant next-door neighbor. I remember him also playing King Tut in one of the Night at the Museum films… Remi Malik is ethnically Egyptian, so I guess that role suited him perfectly. I also recently listened to a podcast titled “Blackout” which he was really good in.
The responsibility of playing this role was colossal, but his performance was majestic.... He was huge, just like Freddie Mercury was.... I think he played the role of his career.... Top 👍👍👍👍
So pleased that Rami got the recognition he deserved for this performance. The actual performance by Freddie (and the rest of the gang) was incredible. That Rami Malek was able to do it any sort of justice is phenomenal in itself.
Just incase anyone needed it 0:54 Bohemian Rhapsody 3:05 Radio Ga Ga 7:08 Ay-Oh 7:54 Hammer to Fall 12:34 Crazy Little Thing Called Love 16:06 We Will Rock You 17:33 We Are The Champions
Joe Mazzello questioned who his father is after he was told he looks like John deacon ,and he looked at a picture of John and said “ I need to talk my mom now and ask her “ where were you in 1983?” “He could be my father “
BEST REENACTMENT OF ALL TIME. No matter how may times I watch this, it always amazes me. They captured the greatness of QUEEN'S Live Aid Performance with overflowing justice!!! It must be emotional for the band members to see this and wonder what Freddie would think if he ever saw it. Not to mention all the details they put into this scene are ON POINT!!!
yeh compare it to the actual concert alot of things are actually spot on, what got me most was the almost EXACT position of the drinks on top of the piano
ME TOO. Mostly I favored this re-enactment because it was the first day on the set, and WOW he carried on. 😉🤗🥳 Sincerely, Sentebay in L.A., California at 81+ years old.😁
@@DaveFisher-cq2dr it was m8 trouble with the other acts a lot of them tried their new singles queen played all hits and banged out a set that will be with me until i die
One detail I love is in the long “eh-oh” when it pans to the stadium from the sky you can see a wave thru the crowd as they join in like a sound wave blasting from the stage
Crying, I was so happy to be part of this rock generation. I saw them in a small theater early on and the way he danced and twisted his body and with his perfectly matched and totally wonderful perfect musicians. Malik you did him proud. You all did. Thank you ❤
I also saw them early on in a small venue, in 1975 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. Fell madly in love with Freddie and has never wavered. Queen was the best ever live & I've seen some heavy hitters....Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Rod Stewart. As good as they were, they can't hold a candle to Queen.
I had the privilege of being at this concert when i was 12 years old my uncle took me unbelievable experience and i will never forget queen's performance
I swear you can say whatever the f you want but this concert is just so much better than the ones today. Not because of the special effect. Not because of the atmosphere. But because Freddy was there
I remember seeing this in a packed theater. Everyone was hooked. Everyone cried. Everyone sang along, and everyone clapped at the end. There is only one Freddie Mercury. ❤
Yeah, this is probably the coolest movie adapted concert ever made. A full 20 min recreation. And I think it does a great job capturing the magic of that day, considering I wasnt even born yet, and it gives me chills and makes me tear up. You can just feel how this was a historic moment. Its like all the stars aligned perfectly.
OK, I know its cinematic license, but that bit from 0:42 is brilliant film. It's like: Freddie's a bit nervous because of his history and the scale of the moment, but the rest of the band (great shots of Deacon, Taylor and May) are like 'this is the moment we've been building to'.
My favourite part of the movie is that when he talks to the band before they go on, you can hear Dire Straits blasting Sultans of Swing. I recorded the original concert when it went to air, and this is totally what they would have heard. I still have the old VHS somewhere. I love Dire Straits way more than Queen but their performance was excellent, and they'd been off the radar for a while.
I love this scene ,love this movie , love everything about it. My 8th grade son had to choose a song from a movie last month, where he had to make a poster (digital or regular. He made a PowerPoint). Had to list composer of song and focus on the technical elements (tempo, melody )mood of the scene and everything in between . So he actually chose this scene right here. He chose to focus more heavily on Bohemian Rhapsody and Radio Ga Ga,. Could’ve chosen 1 song or all but focused on first 2 . but he still captured the mood of that day in his presentation. I was proud that he chose this….he got into this movie because I was playing this movie nonstop, sometimes several times in a day..anyway, sorry to ramble on. Can’t get enough of this.
@@shaneraja5242 thank you so much. He and my daughter are my world. I do whatever I can to make sure they know they’re loved and supported ! I just saw this comment ,or I would have replied sooner. Hope you have a great day !
This is the closest thing I’ll ever get to seeing them perform live. They were way before my time but I would have given anything to see them play like this. Long live Freddy🕊️
Yeah, I got to see them 3 times in the 70s and nobody else I've seen even comes close. I've seen some great bands...Zeppelin, Bowie, etc. They just can't hold a candle to Queen & especially Freddie. Today is 32 years ago he was taken & he's still so missed. Freddie, you're my beautiful angel & you and I know why.
Their actual perfprmance is on UA-cam. THAT'S the closest you'll get. As phenomenal as this scene is, it's still a recreation and there's just no way to match it
Absolutely love this scene it’s bloody brilliant, and to think that this is the first scene they filmed, can you imagine the pressure the actors were under, talk about thrown into the deep end 😂
@@sabinasara6059I wouldn't say all films film the last scene first. It has more to do with scheduling and what sets they have built first and what's more convenient to film first.
I was born in 78 and too young and too far away to be attending this historical moment in life. I bet it was one of the greatest moments ever lived for those who experienced it.
I was born in 1992 and listening to Freddie Mercury since 2022. God-gifted voice was taken to quick. Your voice can't be dublicated and your songs live in me. Thanks for your soothing voice. Love you QUEEN. 😢
I remember watching this live as a teenager. Over 1 Billion people around the world watched Live Aid and if memory servers me, 100K people were at Wimbledon Stadium that day. You could have passed out and not fallen it was so packed. It was the most amazing concert ever done.
Considering the unbelievable vocal talent of the man he was portraying, this was one of the most impressive feats of acting I've ever seen. The amount of talent you need to have in order to sound even close to Freddie is insane.
@@steelslinky9 Anything Freddie had sang they used his recording Marcel sang what Freddie hadnt such as messing up one of the songs I think its only the scene with the cats he sang
If anyone says this band is not the greatest of all time they are crazy. Not historically accurate but a great movie. Brain May one of the best guitarists of all time. I wish John Deacon would come out for one last performance. Roger Taylor top 10 drummers ever. There are no words for Freddie. Simply great.
Massive Queen fan, went to see this 9 times in the cinema. Best biopic movie ever. From start to finish loved every minute and watching this scene in full instead of the edited version in the movie even spectacular
0:39, when Freddie pauses..............I believe Gandalf referred to that as "the deep breath before the plunge....." Then, THE MAGIC HAPPENS!!! One of THE GREATEST live performances of all time!!!
I was born at the concert, inside the stadium. It was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget. My mom and dad were not going to miss it for the world, not even my birth.
When Freddie (Malek) played the audience, I feel like the movie displayed the group in awe, and the participation of the audience so much better than what the camera technology would allow at the time. Because any recording of this just doesn't capture the sentimental values that the audience experienced (ofc, because it wasn't able to), but it so good to see it in the movie.
When I first saw this ending clip of this movie. I was like.. wait, i already watched this somewhere.. even the hand gestures and how he sits in front of the piano.. i said oh my god! This live aid the exact Queen live aid performance! I was screaming the whole time. Totally goosebumps!! 🥹🥹
I watched the Elvis movie immediately before watching this and without question this movie blew Elvis and any other band biopic out of the water by unforgivable standards. One of the greatest movies of all time without question.
I heard it was heavily dramatized and saturated. And this was the best part of the movie. That ain’t a bad thing, but I’ve heard the movie is trying to hard to shoehorn in the other band members and half of the movie Freddie is dead
@@The-Legend-of-P I would disagree with all of that. Shoehorn the other band members in? That’s silly. The movie is a bio pic of Freddie Mercury, it is kind of important to include Queen.
I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand Kicked in my face But I've come through And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune And everything that goes with it I thank you all But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before The human race And I ain't gonna lose And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World
I was born in 94 and wish I was old enough to have watched this live,literally can’t imagine how amazing it must’ve been for everybody, no matter who you were to just come enjoy one of the greatest bands together
Just watched the original concert, and they absolutely nailed it in the film, to be honest I think this is better, just the way they created the atmosphere ❤ it
I love myself a long movie. In fact, longer movies are my favorite type. So I'm glad we get the whole performance here. Wouldn't have minded this to be in the original theatrical cut.
One of the most incredible concert movies that have featured one of the most popular concerts, Live Aid. My Grandparents and my mother were there to experience the true live aid.
18:36 you hear those people, they love 'em, and you thought they would never be big or famous, now you must admit you were wrong and they are huge and loved by all
Queen was the best live band I can remember and I'm 73 yrs old. Been to other concerts but no one could do what Queen did. Way ahead of their time from their start.
Ein würdevoller Schauspieler 🎉Ich wollte den Film nicht ansehen, konnte mir nicht vorstellen,dass jemand Freddy darstellen könnte. Jetzt bin ich begeistert. Freddy wäre stolz auf ihn❤❤❤❤
Worked at a theater a good portion of my life and I remember Queen was my lowkey fav band. I was the manager and once I got everything done I’d “quality check” this film just at this time since it had a long run time. I got chills hearing that crowd get louder as the camera flew over their heads to the stage. One of the many stories I loved where I worked.
I was alive in the 80s. I didn't hear about this until the 90s because that's when Wayne's World revitalized the popularity of Queen. No internet. No social media.
Rami had said in an interview that this was the very first scene they shot. Talk about nerve-wracking living up to this iconic moment. Let me say, they nailed it!! Rami deserved the Oscar. That movie had me literally weeping in the theatre.
Great reenactment of Live Aid, and Rami Malek earned that Oscar. He said interviews he could feel Freddie's presence on set, and even visited him in dreams. In between takes, Rami stayed in character as Freddie, even prepared for a year or so before the movie was shot. He was filming Mr Robot, and when he wasnt filming that show, he would fly to London to rehearse and spend time with Freddie's sister Kash and also his movement coach. That's how serious and dedicated to this role. He was terrified to play Freddie, but he absolutely nailed it.

It is really valuable performance😮
I’d give anything to had been there with you; sadly I was only nine at the time and didn’t know who Queen was until my teens years.

Long time ago. When I got my AM/FM radio with cd player (years before the walkman) the first cd I bought was: "Queen Greatest Hits"
Took my mother to see this live aid fell on her 15th birthday. It was amazing to see her reaction since she raised me on Queens music

Today is 32 years ago he was taken & he's still so missed. Freddie, you're my beautiful angel & you and I know why.
Their actual perfprmance is on UA-cam. THAT'S the closest you'll get. As phenomenal as this scene is, it's still a recreation and there's just no way to match it
Check and see if Marc Martel and his band are going to be in concert near you.
@@dwnl3493or buy a blu ray of the concerts they did
Fly high Freddie! 🕊🕊🕊
Absolutely love this scene it’s bloody brilliant, and to think that this is the first scene they filmed, can you imagine the pressure the actors were under, talk about thrown into the deep end 😂
That's true. But films are never shot chronologically and are always recorded from the last scene 😊
@sabinasarnot alwaysa6059
I 😊
@@sabinasara6059I wouldn't say all films film the last scene first. It has more to do with scheduling and what sets they have built first and what's more convenient to film first.
@@LordBardon50 ok
I was born in 78 and too young and too far away to be attending this historical moment in life. I bet it was one of the greatest moments ever lived for those who experienced it.
you were 6, you had the chance
I was 2 years old then... I also envy these people... :)
Useful for me and the family to help you to
@@Cr3reeperusername checks out😂
Rami malek s performance as Freddie Mercury is fantastic. Fantastic actor. He nailed the role fantastically.
I was born in 1992 and listening to Freddie Mercury since 2022. God-gifted voice was taken to quick. Your voice can't be dublicated and your songs live in me. Thanks for your soothing voice. Love you QUEEN. 😢
Rami Malek did an outstanding job in this movie, I honestly can't think of someone better suited for this role either.
I remember watching this live as a teenager. Over 1 Billion people around the world watched Live Aid and if memory servers me, 100K people were at Wimbledon Stadium that day. You could have passed out and not fallen it was so packed. It was the most amazing concert ever done.
For a start, it was Wembley Stadium and there was 72,000 people there
This movie was the best one I ever saw in years
amen!
Rami Malek embodied Freddie so well it's insane. One of the best oscar performances of all time
Im only 17, never had the chance to see that, but what an era.
Considering the unbelievable vocal talent of the man he was portraying, this was one of the most impressive feats of acting I've ever seen. The amount of talent you need to have in order to sound even close to Freddie is insane.
Close?
It was Freddie!
He just mimed over it!
Rami Didn't sing. Its playback.
@@bluebell3720 they used a mix of the cast and the original band members voices
@@steelslinky9
Anything Freddie had sang they used his recording
Marcel sang what Freddie hadnt such as messing up one of the songs
I think its only the scene with the cats he sang
@@steelslinky9
You can compare the live aid scenes they are exactly the same
If anyone says this band is not the greatest of all time they are crazy. Not historically accurate but a great movie. Brain May one of the best guitarists of all time. I wish John Deacon would come out for one last performance. Roger Taylor top 10 drummers ever. There are no words for Freddie. Simply great.
Exactly. Apart from that, I don't think I know another band with such an education :)
It's pretty accurate though
I love queen but the greatest band is the beatles
this scene alone secured him the oscar, he nailed everything TO A T
84-85 is the peak years of the music history
Watched the movie many times and yet, I still want to watch it again!!!
Massive Queen fan, went to see this 9 times in the cinema. Best biopic movie ever. From start to finish loved every minute and watching this scene in full instead of the edited version in the movie even spectacular
No voy a ser una estrella de rock, voy a ser una leyenda.
Freddie Mercury
this is the best of the best REENACTMENT OF ALL TIME.
Imagine being the guys that followed Queen at Live Aid….they stood no chance.
Well, the very person that did just that, was David Bowie
Poor Bowie.He had no clue how to even try to equal that performance.@@davebain1982
Fantastic band. The reaction of his closest people on stage as he performed is amazing. So sorry about what happened to him in reality.
Queen is foundation of modern music we had today, Freddie his legacy it will live forever ❤
0:39, when Freddie pauses..............I believe Gandalf referred to that as "the deep breath before the plunge....." Then, THE MAGIC HAPPENS!!! One of THE GREATEST live performances of all time!!!
I was born at the concert, inside the stadium. It was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget. My mom and dad were not going to miss it for the world, not even my birth.
A wonderful experience that you’ll never forget??? Yeh of course, coz you remember being born don’t you 🙄🙄
🧢
Sure bruv
yes we all believe you
If this doesn't give you goosebumps...I question your human credentials.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The two on that scaffolding. Best seats ever
Fun fact, The two people up higher on the scaffolding are former queen members lol
When Freddie (Malek) played the audience, I feel like the movie displayed the group in awe, and the participation of the audience so much better than what the camera technology would allow at the time. Because any recording of this just doesn't capture the sentimental values that the audience experienced (ofc, because it wasn't able to), but it so good to see it in the movie.
My husband and I cried watching this movie. Well done.
Me too..Very nice movie..And it's being told mentor Bryan May/Roger Taylor & the real producer of the band Queen Jim Beach
When I first saw this ending clip of this movie. I was like.. wait, i already watched this somewhere.. even the hand gestures and how he sits in front of the piano.. i said oh my god! This live aid the exact Queen live aid performance! I was screaming the whole time. Totally goosebumps!! 🥹🥹
I watched the Elvis movie immediately before watching this and without question this movie blew Elvis and any other band biopic out of the water by unforgivable standards. One of the greatest movies of all time without question.
I heard it was heavily dramatized and saturated. And this was the best part of the movie. That ain’t a bad thing, but I’ve heard the movie is trying to hard to shoehorn in the other band members and half of the movie Freddie is dead
In my opinion, of all the greatest artists in the world, Freddie simply had the greatest and most magical charisma... that's why
If you heard Freddie was dead for half the movie, you heard incorrectly.
@@snerdterguson what about the other stuff?
@@The-Legend-of-P I would disagree with all of that. Shoehorn the other band members in? That’s silly. The movie is a bio pic of Freddie Mercury, it is kind of important to include Queen.
They had plenty of songs that you wont ever forget but for me radio gaga hits different bc its my favorite queen song
Incredible if you think about, coming from very small clubs to massive stadiums, they are an incredible band
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
I was never a fan of Queen, but after watching a film, I became passionate with their music ❤❤❤
I was born in 94 and wish I was old enough to have watched this live,literally can’t imagine how amazing it must’ve been for everybody, no matter who you were to just come enjoy one of the greatest bands together
No matter i watch and listen, its like listening forvthe first time. Music is heaven
Just watched the original concert, and they absolutely nailed it in the film, to be honest I think this is better, just the way they created the atmosphere ❤ it
I love myself a long movie. In fact, longer movies are my favorite type. So I'm glad we get the whole performance here. Wouldn't have minded this to be in the original theatrical cut.
No wonder he won an Oscar, this performance was flawless 👏🏼
One of the most incredible concert movies that have featured one of the most popular concerts, Live Aid. My Grandparents and my mother were there to experience the true live aid.
❤
This was the best performance of the time by far
Gotta say while listening to it. Some says there is only seven wonders in the world but and I would say there is 8th too and that is "MUSIC".
I've watched this film on more than one occasion and I just cannot get over the fact that so many high performance artists
He knew this one was going to be the one he's remembered for
18:36 you hear those people, they love 'em, and you thought they would never be big or famous, now you must admit you were wrong and they are huge and loved by all
They were big 10 years before live aid ffs…they just got bigger in the 80s
Queen was the best live band I can remember and I'm 73 yrs old. Been to other concerts but no one could do what Queen did. Way ahead of their time from their start.
Ein würdevoller Schauspieler 🎉Ich wollte den Film nicht ansehen, konnte mir nicht vorstellen,dass jemand Freddy darstellen könnte. Jetzt bin ich begeistert. Freddy wäre stolz auf ihn❤❤❤❤
😊😊😊
Worked at a theater a good portion of my life and I remember Queen was my lowkey fav band. I was the manager and once I got everything done I’d “quality check” this film just at this time since it had a long run time. I got chills hearing that crowd get louder as the camera flew over their heads to the stage. One of the many stories I loved where I worked.
Wish I was alive in the 1980s so I could experience this. No social media, no shit music, just vibes.
I was alive in the 80s. I didn't hear about this until the 90s because that's when Wayne's World revitalized the popularity of Queen.
No internet. No social media.
And aids
Rami had said in an interview that this was the very first scene they shot. Talk about nerve-wracking living up to this iconic moment. Let me say, they nailed it!! Rami deserved the Oscar. That movie had me literally weeping in the theatre.
The fact that this live concert scene was the FIRST SCENE shot is incredible!!
It's terrible planning on the production side
They were terrified before filming it ! But they were also glad after that it was that one the first scene they ever shot
Rami was sensational in this film!! He deserved every award he got. He truly did Freddy justice💜
Truly moving and profound film. Excellent performer a from the entire legendary group! ❤
Great reenactment of Live Aid, and Rami Malek earned that Oscar. He said interviews he could feel Freddie's presence on set, and even visited him in dreams. In between takes, Rami stayed in character as Freddie, even prepared for a year or so before the movie was shot. He was filming Mr Robot, and when he wasnt filming that show, he would fly to London to rehearse and spend time with Freddie's sister Kash and also his movement coach. That's how serious and dedicated to this role. He was terrified to play Freddie, but he absolutely nailed it.
