also, one thing i love with back in the day compared to concerts/festivals nowadays is no one is on their phones recording it. everyone is in the zone of watching and just enjoying without seeing it through their phone which a majority do whenever you got to concerts nowadays.
@@jamesstevenson9340 Yeah that always is funny to me about younger people today. Why not see history through your own eyes? I can understand trying to record something that happens spontaneously (like a train wreck or tornado), but a concert...please. You miss the thing you paid for (the concert), your recording will never be unique (thousands of others are doing the same thing), and no one will want to watch your 10 minute video on your phone of a concert they've already seen 20 times on UA-cam already....smh.
aboslutly .. pure raw live music.. makes today computer and lip synicing and background music and voices being put to shame .. love this raw live music...
I thank my dad and mom for introducing me to Queen (seeing as though I was born a year after he died). How is possible to miss someone you've never met? Freddie has that impact several years later.
I was a 4th year apprentice and in the main aisle of the electroplating shop when a workmate named Pat walked past and said he heard on the news that Freddy had died. You obviously don't have that memory but I'm sure there are others that stick as hard your mind as this did to me.
@michaelslee4336 I remember hearing about Kurt's Cobain's death and when Lennon died. I'm 54 so was young when Lennon died but remember every aspect of my life from when I saw the news after school
This was the greatest live performance of all time. Everything here are off the charts. Roger Taylor's drumming was second to none. John Deacon was stellar playing the bass guitar. Brian May was awesome in the lead guitar. Freddie Mercury's powerful voice was out of this world. Queen is not all about Freddie Mercury, he's sorrounded by highly talented musicians as well.
That's a fact that made them great, but they stayed great until the end because everyone respected that the other guys are talented; there was a humility.
And to think in their beginning years Roger and Brian dismissed him just after their lead quit...all because of his teeth smh. (Skip a few decades) - Freddie Mercury tribute. 💯🤟🏿
Widely regarded as the best 20 minutes of live rock ever, Queen stole the show with this set. No one expected them to own Live Aid…but they came out of left field and surprised everyone. When you consider the fact that this was not a Queen show but a festival, never has an audience been so engaged. Magnificent!
Thank the road crew. Queen brought their own who knew how to make their band shine, everyone else used the venue road crew and were beset with technical issues that's one of the reasons the crowd is so eager they've been waiting all day for a performance like this.
They practiced a lot and made sure their sound system was working perfectly. Most of the other artists kinda winged it. They also requested to be placed at the prime slot. They were ready, and they gave it all, especially Freddie! Their professionalism and performance were top notch.
Freddie called himself a musical prostitute and he was right. When he was on stage he sold you everything, his mind, body and soul; every member of the audience went home with a piece of Freddie that they would own forever. That is what the very greatest artists, in whatever genre, do and why they achieve legendary status. Freddie you are a light in my darkness.
It was at 6:54 that every other band performing that day figured out they were simply the opening and closing acts for the greatest Queen Concert to ever occur.
This live performance should have been on the golden record sent along with the Voyager 1 space probe for aliens to find and listen to at some point in the future…
As a musician, i am still amazed at the quality of the sound Queen manage to play on this live set! The beat is tight and steady, the guitars and bass are sharp and Mercury's voice is powerful and clear! Little detail : All this happens during a multi-band live show so kudos to the techs and support crew that were the unsung heroes of Live Aid .
He was actually advised by his doctor not to perform this event as he had an infection in his vocal chord, but he went on to perform anyway and made history.
Here's a story you will like... In the control room, there were markers on the soundboard with a note stating... "DO NOT INCREASE," but Queens sound engineer went into the control room and increased the sound as high as he could as Queen was entering the stage, and he did this by Freddie's insistence. That's why the people were roaring! After Queen exited the stage, the volume was turned back down.
I remember watching this performance as a 12 year old girl. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I’d never seen anything like it and haven’t to this day. The greatest performance of all time hands down.
my mom was at the concert and as you can imagine i grew up a huge fan. shes showing the king and queen to my kids everytime now xD what a legendary performance even crossing the borders time.
The way that Freddie Mercury commanded not only that stage, but the 72,000 people in attendance at Wembley, another 89,000 in attendance at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, and 1.9 “BILLION” live viewers (NEARLY 40% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION) that evening will “NEVER” be duplicated. It was/is still considered by the majority of artist, and the majority of music fans to be the best live performance by a band ever in the history of music. Most importantly this event really put world hunger on the map for much of the world. Unfortunately to this day children and people still starve to death while we live in a world of abundance.
"beamed live to 1.5 billion people worldwide." - BBC means broadcasted to an estimated audience of... it doesnt say estimated viewers for that we have this BBC quote: "Live Aid, a multi-venue rock music concert, was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for Ethiopia famine relief.

@angelicamottin8302 hi Angelica, nice to meet you on here. Do you live in Italy? I used to say to my friends there. are 2 kinds of people in this world, the Italians and the ones that want to be
When the audience is singing louder then the band that's a rarity in music. Knowing that Freddy Mercury's health wasn't the best also and he sounded this amazing just solidifies why they were called Queen. This is one of the best live performances of all time for anyone. Period.
I remember watching this at the time - I was far from being a Queen fan but I was amazed at how well old Freddy could work an audience - pure show-biz !
I am glad that somebody your age can really appreciate Freddie Mercury and the band Queen did for rock ‘n’ roll, music and music in general. If you get time watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody“ it tells the backstory of Queen all the way up to this performance. The other living members of queen collaborated with the director and producers of this movie. It’s an up-and-down roller coaster of emotions while you watch this movie
1985, who had a Cell phone.? At least none that took Pictures. We were still Landline Locked..! Think the first Cell phone went up for Sale in 1984. @ a Cost of $3.900 U.S.D. I didn't have one for sure..! Great Concert mind. 🤗
Everyones holding up their arms, but no one is holding a phone in their hand, everyone is just being there in the moment and the only thing recorded of this legendary concert is in their memory.
That's true. A common rejoinder nowadays is that if we'd have had smartphones back then, people would have been doing the same thing, but that misses the point. Of course we would if it had developed at the same pace and we'd become accustomed to using them all the time, because we are the same creatures now as we always have been, but the point is that the technology has changed our behaviour and we don't really experience these events properly anymore, the technology tempts us into distraction. Much as the internet dilutes our normal human behaviour and can bring out the worst in us. We are tempted to use these technologies and often get some sort of satisfaction or even tangible benefits from doing so, but it comes at a cost. I definitely think that aspects of life such as experiencing a live, communal event are better without smartphones and cameras.
@@danyoutube7491I just wanted you to know that i captured a screenshot of what you wrote (yes I’m aware of the irony) to help me remember to experience life the way its supposed to be experienced and to put my stupid phone down sometimes and take a breath. Thank you. 🙏
90s kid here, born in 96, my mother and father born in the early 60s and mid 60s. Lets just say, Queen somewhat raised me. So sad I will never witness this in life but forever proud to know each song word from word. My mother is a singer, piano player and my father plays the drums and also sings. Queen is in my DNA. ❤ Much love from South GA, USA. 2024.
My god Freddie had some charisma. The entire audience held in the palm of his hand from the time he stepped on stage to the time he left. I remember watching it and there was no other act that came close to Queen that day. Sheer utter pop genius. All these years later and I still miss him, the consummate showman..
You know what's crazy? All those people in the audience are in their 60's and 70's. We never thought we would get old. Forever young. Time doesn't stand still.
His doctor told him not to do this show because he had a vocal cord infection. He obviously did it anyway. This is Freddie Mercury with infected vocal cords. Fu¢|
It was the best performance ever. For those who where there....no high technology involved, just a rock band with the loudest and clearest voice on the planet.... Freddie, its just like yesterday and it will always be like that. You left too early. You are deeply missed by millions...
This is 39 years ago and it's still incredible. Freddie could sing 3-4 octaves! A musical genius. He fought to the end. Today he could have been saved. ❤
К сожалению от судьбы не уйдёшь... такой человек рождается раз сто лет,и того не будет. Его погубила зависимость в те года, и нечего не меняется, может это моё последнее сообщение. Мне 29, скажу одно я всегда был человеком, помогать слабым для меня небыло слабостью! Прощайте, не нужно войны на земле.. запомните любовь спасёт м✌️ ❤
I was 7 years old when this played and I remember my uncle watching this. My aunt is a lesbian and dealt with a lot of the BS in the '80s so she was a huge queen fan and other artists that were coming out back then! As I watch it today it brings back a lot of memories. This man was probably one of the most talented singers to ever walk the face of Earth. These kids today do not know what a real live performance is. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan but you can take Taylor Swift and every single pop music star today and put them together and they still would not equal the talent of Freddie Mercury! The man had a voice of gods! He was an entertainer He knew how to get the crowd going. Love how he blows kisses at the audience and he knows that he's good You can see his pride in his work. There's no voice clean up. No pre-recorded background music. This is straight talent. This is when singers were actual artists and they sounded better live. There will never be another live performance like this. There will never be another Freddie Mercury.
As an African American woman growing up in the city of Chicago in the 70s, I TRULY was in love with this man, I'm almost 60. My older brother and sister listened to Rock in our household. I have always loved Queen and Freddy Mercury. If I'm not mistaken, this might have been the last time that we saw him alive and performing.
Each member of Queen held an advanced degree before touring with the band. So, inspirational! Freddy had a degree in graphic arts and design. John May was working on his PHD in astrophysics. John Deacon had a degree in electrical engineering. Roger Taylor had his degree in biology. Truly amazing young men.
I am 23 years old and it is truly impressive what this man has caused with that extravagant voice...without a doubt the best in history, I am from Argentina
Bono was backstage with other musicians and said to them, “That sound you just heard was Queen stealing this show”. It has been called “The twenty minutes that changed music”.
for any of us who (are old enough and) saw Queen with the original lineup all I can say is we really miss Freddie soooo much. He was a part of our family and what a voice. LA Forum 77, 80, and 82.
WE GREW UP IN THE BEST MUSIC AGE 75 here and these fellas are G.O.A.T.. SOME SAY THE STONES. BEETLES, LED ZEP, AEROSMITH,...MANY OTHER GREATS BUT NOTHING IS QUEEN. Musicians, composers, technicians, poets and the paradigm of perfection.
this is hands down one of, if not THE, most amazing performance Ive ever seen. No special effects, not a dozen background dancers, just a mindblowing performance.
i was 18 visiting London, went to surprise concert with family and some friend's. When Queen came on stage the stadium was electric. This concert I will never ever forget. RIP Freddy
01/08/2024 alguém daí ouvindo esta raridade? Meu ídolo eternoooo!❤❤ Hoje no auge dos meus 61 anos, ouço como uma adolescente. Ainda sinto aquele arrepio de décadas atrás. Tbm é impossível não sentir nada com simplesmente o The Best!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Se eu pudesse, pararia o tempo nesta época pq éramos felizes de verdade. Só q como disse o colega abaixo, " O TEMPO NÃO PARA"
I like to think of this as a real life canon event. In every Universe, there is a Freddie Mercury, there's a band called Queen, and there is a Live Aid performance that blew the entire world away.
I don't know why this choked me up but it did. I love that thought, that this is something that HAD to happen. Maybe in one of those universes, he's still with us.
I was watching live Aid in 1985 while putting stickers on my nieces toy car for them in my Dad's living room! Queen was absolutely the best 20 minutes of the whole show! They blew everybody away! Their energy, their line up of songs, and not to mention how Freddie would have the whole crowd in complete sink with him, was amazing to watch! ❤ Beautiful! And Awesome to watch! Their music is still great to this day! Timeless! ❤🎼🎵🎶🏆💖
@@rosemarypetrilli582 Oh, yeah! I’m glad I have fans that appreciate my art. I know that you must be surprised to receive a reply from me on here, right?
@@Realneilyoung неправда, что вы не получили признание, как гитарист!! Вы не стоите первым в списке лучших гитаристов мира, но вы лучший, вас знает ВЕСЬ МИР!!
Yep. Once Queen took to the stage, our eyes were glued to the TV! There are other bits of acts that I remember - Bono, George Michael and Paul McCartney having mic issues, but everyone was talking about Queen’s set in the days after.
The camera men and the director are unsung heroes here, this was a live broadcast, streamed across the world with no rehearsal, almost 40 years ago. The panning up as Freddie lifts his arm at , just so much so the sun breaks through to give that golden glow.
Am I the only person to be crying over this clip? Just the musicality, the way he took control, the feedback people gave him and ultimately knowing what happened shortly after. 😭😭😭 What a singer and legend.
I am in Tanzania for work and fly home today. I had a free day yesterday and took the ferry from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar where Freddie Mercury was born. I visited the museum that was created in his honour on the ground floor of the house where he lived. It is small but quite moving, with his music playing in the background. It motivated to watch, yet again, Queen's iconic 1985 Live Aid concert. Freddie was said, "I'm not going to be a Star, I'm going to be a Legend." He was right.
I love this video..I keep replaying it.. Freddie Mercury's performance was marvelous..I listen to all of Queens music . Freddie Mercury was very talented..
"i sometimes wish id never been born at all" ohh freddie if you just knew how much you did and still do for us.. you are one of my reasons to still go on in this earth. Your songs have the best quotes that can fix my mood in seconds. whenever i feel sad, it's your songs that help. youve helped me through suicidal thoughts. i watch your concerts and love to pretend im there too. I love you so much freddie. you taught me how to sing too, i love learning to sing with your songs. im sorry for everything you had to go through in your life. if i could be friends with anyone in my life it would be you . thank you so much queen, brian roger and john too❤
I just had to watch this after watching the movie, and I have come to the conclusion that no matter how many great male vocalists have come and gone, Freddie Mercury IS IRREPLACEABLE. I hope and pray you've found peace.
A few details that show the greatness of this set: - the super fast sound checks at the beginning - the studio versions have been rehearsed differently especially for this set - this allowed them to stay perfectly within the designated set time of 20 minutes - the volume limiter was set 0.2 decibels higher, which really made them sound louder in the stadium - they had practiced exactly this set for a week to do it exactly the same during the performance.
I didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense. I played in a band for 25 years, and it often took hours of practice to pull off 30 seconds of seemingly spontaneous "magic."
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Prince was amazing no doubt, but you’re comparing artists full concerts that had months of preparation to a last minute inclusion that went 22 minutes. But if you like them more than that’s cool.
Beyond legendary, I genuinely don't know what the definition of this is, best 20 minutes in the history of rock, we miss you freddie, no one can touch you, end of....
Bowie was up next, apparently the quote was, how am I supposed to follow that...? Respect the hell out of David as an artist, writer, but he's not wrong, legends in their time......
I am watching randomly on UA-cam and Holy moly this was electrifying! I've never seen a show like this! Audience participation is insane. Phones should be banned at concerts
I know lots of people have already wrote this, but it doesn’t matter. This performance must surely go down as the greatest live performance by any musician(s), EVER. Pure genius, total mastery, ultra-talented musicians.
I only bought Queen’s Greatest Hits in January of 1985 & a couple of their other studio albums shortly afterwards as a 14 year old with my paper round money. So they were one of the acts I was looking forward to at the forthcoming televised Live Aid gig that July. They were amazing of course & I made sure I saw them the following year on The Magic Tour. Good job I did, as little did I know at the time, that was the last opportunity to see them live!
I rewatch this performance like once or twice a month, and I always tear up at how as soon as he starts playing, everyone sings with him, Freddie really was and is a god among men
Love that moment he has with the camera guy, making him a part of the show. Plenty of other rock artist would have scolded him for being in the way, but Freddie made it a moment!
This was the best live performance of all time, but I have to give David Bowie a lot of credit for showing up unrehearsed and having to perform live on stage immediately after Queen. Who would want to have to follow Queen after this? But David Bowie put on a great show and kept the crowd happy.
Not to mention “heroes” is one of the greatest rock songs ever. His quick to go temp band did a great job after Queen set, but check out Bowie “Hero” concert with his killer band , 230 million views on utube. Its unbelievable!
Every member of Queen could actually legit sing and sing well, but Fred was just straight out of this world… his control, pitch, volume, vibrato, just unbelievable
I agree, the sound stage was excellent. I can hear every instrument and the guitar solos were just the right level, even when Freddie switched mics the level was exact! what a production!
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457no there really isn't. Not in the same sense as Freddie Mercury did that day. He had two and a half billion eyes on him and had almost every single one of them in a trance. No there are no better high performance is the net 21 minutes and that's not an opinion that is a straight fact
@@jlhflex it's a bland performance compared to Prince, Bono and numerous others. His singing is reasonably good, and the music is quite good, but it's not that remarkable in its mesmerising factor or greatness

@BedtimeStoriesChannel which is why I don't favor the movie.
Truly a rock and roll god. Loved the super man shirt he wore in other concerts. He had no problem living up too that. Missed every day of my life.
Iam watching this on April 2024 i wish you were still here ❤❤❤❤

I am glad that somebody your age can really appreciate Freddie Mercury and the band Queen did for rock ‘n’ roll, music and music in general.
If you get time watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody“ it tells the backstory of Queen all the way up to this performance. The other living members of queen collaborated with the director and producers of this movie. It’s an up-and-down roller coaster of emotions while you watch this movie

It’s like breaking one of the 10 commandments to interrupt a Queen concert
I like how everyone is living in the moment. No cellphones. Just clapping in sync and singing along. What a time…what a moment.
Lo
1985, who had a Cell phone.? At least none that took Pictures.
We were still Landline Locked..!
Think the first Cell phone went up for Sale in 1984. @ a Cost of $3.900 U.S.D.
I didn't have one for sure..!
Great Concert mind. 🤗
Cellphones with camera functionality hadn't been invented yet, to be fair.
Yea, we had not even heard of a bag phone back then. Good times. I'm going to be first in the time machine!
@@andrewh2817Thank God!!!!
Everyones holding up their arms, but no one is holding a phone in their hand, everyone is just being there in the moment and the only thing recorded of this legendary concert is in their memory.
That's true. A common rejoinder nowadays is that if we'd have had smartphones back then, people would have been doing the same thing, but that misses the point. Of course we would if it had developed at the same pace and we'd become accustomed to using them all the time, because we are the same creatures now as we always have been, but the point is that the technology has changed our behaviour and we don't really experience these events properly anymore, the technology tempts us into distraction. Much as the internet dilutes our normal human behaviour and can bring out the worst in us. We are tempted to use these technologies and often get some sort of satisfaction or even tangible benefits from doing so, but it comes at a cost. I definitely think that aspects of life such as experiencing a live, communal event are better without smartphones and cameras.
@angrypotato857 Absolutely! I was 14 back then, it was phenomenal!
Bons tempos em que realmente se vivia e não apenas existia.

girl this is a video on youtube. like i get what youre saying but live aid very much was recorded. like alot
90s kid here, born in 96, my mother and father born in the early 60s and mid 60s. Lets just say, Queen somewhat raised me. So sad I will never witness this in life but forever proud to know each song word from word. My mother is a singer, piano player and my father plays the drums and also sings. Queen is in my DNA. ❤ Much love from South GA, USA. 2024.
My god Freddie had some charisma. The entire audience held in the palm of his hand from the time he stepped on stage to the time he left. I remember watching it and there was no other act that came close to Queen that day. Sheer utter pop genius. All these years later and I still miss him, the consummate showman..
If you don’t like what is arguably the best ever 21 minutes and 17 seconds of live performance ever seen, then music isn’t for you.
They'd have to be in a vegative state to not be moved by this performance.
Y además gratis en la palma de tus manos !!!
Is anyone stilll listening in 2024 to this legend he had a voice of an angel he was takin to soon 😢
You kidding? Folk will still be listening to this in 2064, and beyond. Genius is timeless

BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!!!! 2024 Anyone?
The greatest showman supported by the greatest musicians. My era. We will never see the like again.
No playback. no Auto-tune, not 22 different writers and producers on each song. Talent was required in the old days.
@@presidentnadano it is not you are just not looking for good rock
@@presidentnadamost massive commercially produced rock is, it’s always the smaller bands that do it for real now
Talent is still required, youre just only looking at the surface level of modern music
This is a FANTASTIC remastered video! It looks as if the concert was yesterday!
You know what's crazy? All those people in the audience are in their 60's and 70's. We never thought we would get old. Forever young. Time doesn't stand still.
May we all meet up in the next life! 🎉❤❤❤
@@mimigirl3162 I do think we will !!
I saw Queen in 77 and I was 14 I'm only 60 now. This was 1985, I'd say most of those attending here are probably in their 50's to 60's.
"Tiime waits for nobody", as Freddie sang
I am 63
His doctor told him not to do this show because he had a vocal cord infection. He obviously did it anyway. This is Freddie Mercury with infected vocal cords. Fu¢|
You could tell he was getting tired towards the end, but just nailed it!
Estando mal tenia esa voz!!... como seria si hubiese estado sano
😮....
Taylor Swift wishes she could have that many people eat out of her hand
Aww yeah...
It was the best performance ever. For those who where there....no high technology involved, just a rock band with the loudest and clearest voice on the planet.... Freddie, its just like yesterday and it will always be like that. You left too early. You are deeply missed by millions...

I was at a concert back in those days when Freddie came flying in a helicopter. So cool. One of the few concerts I ever went to. Happy I did.
I always come here and watch this magnificent 20min concert of my all time favorite band, QUEEN.
I was 7 years old when this played and I remember my uncle watching this. My aunt is a lesbian and dealt with a lot of the BS in the '80s so she was a huge queen fan and other artists that were coming out back then! As I watch it today it brings back a lot of memories. This man was probably one of the most talented singers to ever walk the face of Earth. These kids today do not know what a real live performance is. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan but you can take Taylor Swift and every single pop music star today and put them together and they still would not equal the talent of Freddie Mercury! The man had a voice of gods! He was an entertainer He knew how to get the crowd going. Love how he blows kisses at the audience and he knows that he's good You can see his pride in his work. There's no voice clean up. No pre-recorded background music. This is straight talent. This is when singers were actual artists and they sounded better live. There will never be another live performance like this. There will never be another Freddie Mercury.
You stated a lot in your message and I agree with your posting. you did a great job. TU. TU
As an African American woman growing up in the city of Chicago in the 70s, I TRULY was in love with this man, I'm almost 60. My older brother and sister listened to Rock in our household. I have always loved Queen and Freddy Mercury. If I'm not mistaken, this might have been the last time that we saw him alive and performing.
That night every single person in that audience had a personal experience with Freddie. Best live performer of all time.
Each member of Queen held an advanced degree before touring with the band. So, inspirational! Freddy had a degree in graphic arts and design. John May was working on his PHD in astrophysics. John Deacon had a degree in electrical engineering. Roger Taylor had his degree in biology. Truly amazing young men.
Its 2024 and this is still the BEST live performance in rock history. ABSOLUTELY OFF THE CHARTS!😭😮💨
I am 23 years old and it is truly impressive what this man has caused with that extravagant voice...without a doubt the best in history, I am from Argentina
I'm from NY, I remember watching this on TV, I was 17. They stole the show, rocked the house that night.
I’m from Scotland, You have a scarey Rugby team. I agree with you, Freddie had a great rock/ Opera voice, but put it in Queen. Estupendo
You have Lione Messi true GOAT
Awesome. Happy you appreciate the music of our times
Bono was backstage with other musicians and said to them, “That sound you just heard was Queen stealing this show”. It has been called “The twenty minutes that changed music”.
U2 were actually in the US show. It was Elton John screaming at Queen leaving the stage: "You bastards! You stole the show!". 😅
No, U2 played at Wembley!
@@paolomagni nope. U2 played at wembley.
@@Mobilitydnb @redbulls1337 Yep, I was wrong about U2 location, not about Elton John.
@@paolomagni Elton's good on the piano but he sucks on organ.
for any of us who (are old enough and) saw Queen with the original lineup all I can say is we really miss Freddie soooo much. He was a part of our family and what a voice. LA Forum 77, 80, and 82.
I'm 76 and am still mesmerized by him. Can't take my eyes off of him.
60, me too, they all owned it, but Freddie was the leader
WE GREW UP IN THE BEST MUSIC AGE 75 here and these fellas are G.O.A.T.. SOME SAY THE STONES. BEETLES, LED ZEP, AEROSMITH,...MANY OTHER GREATS BUT NOTHING IS QUEEN. Musicians, composers, technicians, poets and the paradigm of perfection.
this is hands down one of, if not THE, most amazing performance Ive ever seen.
No special effects, not a dozen background dancers, just a mindblowing performance.
Pure rock and roll at it's best.
Swinging Deaky is the best background dancer you could ask for. Plus one hell of a basse player.
i was 18 visiting London, went to surprise concert with family and some friend's. When Queen came on stage the stadium was electric. This concert I will never ever forget. RIP Freddy
Wow ! What a beautiful memory❤
How lucky you are !

Se eu pudesse, pararia o tempo nesta época pq éramos felizes de verdade. Só q como disse o colega abaixo, " O TEMPO NÃO PARA"
I like to think of this as a real life canon event. In every Universe, there is a Freddie Mercury, there's a band called Queen, and there is a Live Aid performance that blew the entire world away.
I don't know why this choked me up but it did. I love that thought, that this is something that HAD to happen.
Maybe in one of those universes, he's still with us.
And to think he wasn't feeling well...I'm sure in some other timeline he took the doctors advice and didn't perform. Tragic.
@@slickm0uthmost tragic thing ever
So, a fixed moment in time, then? I’m on board with that.
I am 63 years old and after 39 years I am still enjoying the best ever performance of Freddy Mercury and Queen. A legend.

They are the best...ever! .... Im agree with you!
Me tooo!😊
I was watching live Aid in 1985 while putting stickers on my nieces toy car for them in my Dad's living room! Queen was absolutely the best 20 minutes of the whole show! They blew everybody away! Their energy, their line up of songs, and not to mention how Freddie would have the whole crowd in complete sink with him, was amazing to watch! ❤ Beautiful! And Awesome to watch! Their music is still great to this day! Timeless! ❤🎼🎵🎶🏆💖

Yep. Once Queen took to the stage, our eyes were glued to the TV! There are other bits of acts that I remember - Bono, George Michael and Paul McCartney having mic issues, but everyone was talking about Queen’s set in the days after.
Been rewatching live concerts from 80's for various bands. This is still the best!!!!!
The camera men and the director are unsung heroes here, this was a live broadcast, streamed across the world with no rehearsal, almost 40 years ago. The panning up as Freddie lifts his arm at , just so much so the sun breaks through to give that golden glow.

Am I the only person to be crying over this clip? Just the musicality, the way he took control, the feedback people gave him and ultimately knowing what happened shortly after. 😭😭😭 What a singer and legend.
Absolutely not .... always in tears watching this !!
Yep I get tears every time
Yeah every time,, fantastic musicians x
No, you're not the only one
This is bittersweet. Both a smile and a feeling of enormous sadness. 3:01 that adorable smile of joy for John.
No light shows, no lasers, no fireworks. Just fucking good music and a hell of a performance! This concert will never be beaten. RIP Freddy ❤

It’s so impressive. Every move he makes is in perfectly sync with the music and the audience.
This is what music should be
I am in Tanzania for work and fly home today. I had a free day yesterday and took the ferry from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar where Freddie Mercury was born. I visited the museum that was created in his honour on the ground floor of the house where he lived. It is small but quite moving, with his music playing in the background. It motivated to watch, yet again, Queen's iconic 1985 Live Aid concert. Freddie was said, "I'm not going to be a Star, I'm going to be a Legend." He was right.
Lucky!!!!
Wonderful. Thanks
Good for you
@LucianoAllenWatts No need to be so rude
The greatest live performance in history
I love this video..I keep replaying it.. Freddie Mercury's performance was marvelous..I listen to all of Queens music . Freddie Mercury was very talented..
"i sometimes wish id never been born at all" ohh freddie if you just knew how much you did and still do for us.. you are one of my reasons to still go on in this earth. Your songs have the best quotes that can fix my mood in seconds. whenever i feel sad, it's your songs that help. youve helped me through suicidal thoughts. i watch your concerts and love to pretend im there too. I love you so much freddie. you taught me how to sing too, i love learning to sing with your songs. im sorry for everything you had to go through in your life. if i could be friends with anyone in my life it would be you . thank you so much queen, brian roger and john too❤
That was beautiful!
You will be fine sweet lady l sel
I send my angelic unconditional love to you. ❤️😘🙏
I feel the same. Beautiful words. Anniversary tomorrow
Wow !!
He can still reach an audience in 2023. Timeless baby.
I just had to watch this after watching the movie, and I have come to the conclusion that no matter how many great male vocalists have come and gone, Freddie Mercury IS IRREPLACEABLE. I hope and pray you've found peace.
I had to watch this right after watching the movie because I needed to know if they did the Live Aid scene justice. I must say they absolutely did!
freddie and michael dont forget him
Yeah...Michael Jackson turned down Live Aid in case playing a free show on TV hurt ticket sales for his own tour. What an asshole.
Watching the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” And that actor is playing the hell out of this role!! He’s literally hitting every move perfectly!
Watched it now 5 times brilliant movie
A few details that show the greatness of this set:
- the super fast sound checks at the beginning
- the studio versions have been rehearsed differently especially for this set
- this allowed them to stay perfectly within the designated set time of 20 minutes
- the volume limiter was set 0.2 decibels higher, which really made them sound louder in the stadium
- they had practiced exactly this set for a week to do it exactly the same during the performance.
Absolute professionalism from top to bottom. They were surrounded by great craftsmen and their own talents, which were plenty. Rock Gods, truly.
I didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense. I played in a band for 25 years, and it often took hours of practice to pull off 30 seconds of seemingly spontaneous "magic."
Still the greatest live performance of all time RIP Freddie
Noooo there are better, Prince , Beyonce, Bono U2 on Zoo tour. This falls flat compared to many of Princes great shows
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Prince was amazing no doubt, but you’re comparing artists full concerts that had months of preparation to a last minute inclusion that went 22 minutes. But if you like them more than that’s cool.

No one expected queen to do this , completely out of the blue , so glad they did , beyond legendary , the whole band , bloody brilliant....
Beyond legendary, I genuinely don't know what the definition of this is, best 20 minutes in the history of rock, we miss you freddie, no one can touch you, end of....
Bowie was up next, apparently the quote was, how am I supposed to follow that...?
Respect the hell out of David as an artist, writer, but he's not wrong, legends in their time......
I am watching randomly on UA-cam and Holy moly this was electrifying! I've never seen a show like this! Audience participation is insane. Phones should be banned at concerts
The most perfect 20 odd minutes in human history. This is just perfection, love you Freddie
This not a documentation, this is history
I know lots of people have already wrote this, but it doesn’t matter. This performance must surely go down as the greatest live performance by any musician(s), EVER. Pure genius, total mastery, ultra-talented musicians.
💯
Definitely not..there is much better this...think PRINCE, Bono from U2 and quite a few others
It's 2:40 AM and I'm watching Freddie's live...🥹... Satisfaction
Still brings tears to my eyes thinking about him passing away
Freddie own the world for 21 minutes
He sure did.
@@axemanchris idk if your being sarcastic 😂
I only bought Queen’s Greatest Hits in January of 1985 & a couple of their other studio albums shortly afterwards as a 14 year old with my paper round money. So they were one of the acts I was looking forward to at the forthcoming televised Live Aid gig that July. They were amazing of course & I made sure I saw them the following year on The Magic Tour. Good job I did, as little did I know at the time, that was the last opportunity to see them live!
freddie is the only person that if he could be back from his grave, I would be the first in line to get a ticket to the show!!!
Me too.

I’ll watch this in 2044 and still be amazed.

@@kendyjapri1559 they mean they didn't know them in real life and yk talked to them b4
Love that moment he has with the camera guy, making him a part of the show. Plenty of other rock artist would have scolded him for being in the way, but Freddie made it a moment!
These 20 minutes did not change the history of music but they gave the world a living myth that would soon become legend. Miss you Freddie
This was the best live performance of all time, but I have to give David Bowie a lot of credit for showing up unrehearsed and having to perform live on stage immediately after Queen. Who would want to have to follow Queen after this? But David Bowie put on a great show and kept the crowd happy.
Well, if anyone could.......🎵
I think it definitely think he was the best to be after with no problem. He was a heavy weight.
Didn’t he famously say, “How am I supposed to go on after THAT?”
Not to mention “heroes” is one of the greatest rock songs ever. His quick to go temp band did a great job after Queen set, but check out Bowie “Hero” concert with his killer band , 230 million views on utube. Its unbelievable!
The GOAT! Best live performance ever! I'm so glad he was given this opportunity to show the world his greatness before he passed. 😪 Gone too soon..
Did He die
I keep coming back to this when I'm feeling fed up. Freddy my lovely man thank you for still making an old girl happy
Ты держись
Yes❤ This old girl as well.
the best singer of all time. I know there are many to mention but his unique range and vocals are unsurpassed.
Every member of Queen could actually legit sing and sing well, but Fred was just straight out of this world… his control, pitch, volume, vibrato, just unbelievable
Kudos to the engineers of that show… The sound quality and balance was amazing!
I agree, the sound stage was excellent. I can hear every instrument and the guitar solos were just the right level, even when Freddie switched mics the level was exact! what a production!
The most beautiful and exhilarating 21 minutes of rock music ever recorded.
Noooooo there is better
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457no there really isn't. Not in the same sense as Freddie Mercury did that day. He had two and a half billion eyes on him and had almost every single one of them in a trance. No there are no better high performance is the net 21 minutes and that's not an opinion that is a straight fact
@@jlhflex nooooo definitely not....Prince, Michael Jackson, U2 Bono, all surpass this performance with their own for various giant concerts
@@jlhflex it's a bland performance compared to Prince, Bono and numerous others. His singing is reasonably good, and the music is quite good, but it's not that remarkable in its mesmerising factor or greatness
Never been a massive queen fan. But there's no denying the sheer talent on that stage. As a performer Freddie was second to none.
