I would have liked to see Foo Fighters at Wembly make the cut. Zeppelin members and all.
The 1985 Live Aid, for sure!!
You nailed it!!!! That performance by Queen will never be topped.
Live Aid 1985, of course!
Freddy M
I saw Live Aid live on tv in 1985. Was about to go to bed. Then Queen came on. What a worthwhile experience to stay up for. What is also amazing is there was no special effects, bells or whistles needed to show what an awesome band Queen is. Love this still to this day. Freddie Mercury was such an awesome talented person. The rest of the band were awesome to.
While I wasn’t technically there (I was JFK in Philly) the Queen performance at Wembley for Live-Aid was the best performance I ever saw live.
I see Freddie Mercury, I click.
Same
Me too!!!! Love Freddie!
You and me both
I feel like it’s law to watch any video involving Freddie. What an absolute legend.
That live Aid concert was his last concert before he died of Aids in 1989 only a few years after I wss born 91
Haven't gotten to the end yet, buuut I'm thinking Queen will be num 1.....that Live Aid performance sent shivers around the world... 🥰
Live Aid was grossly underperforming in donations...until Queen hit the stage. During Queen's set the donations started flooding in to the point they passed their goal by the end of the set.
@@gfear24 that's not true mate. It was portrayed in the queen distortion film bohemian rhapsody that the donations started to go up a lot during queens set, but that was one of the films many innaccuracies. The donations didnt start to go up significantly until AFTER bob geldof gave his sweary appeal, and that was after queen had been on.
It also makes zero sense for donations to go up during a set..... that's when people are watching, not dialling. Also, we are talking manually operated phone lines, taking details over the phone. It isn't like today where you could donate with a text or on the internet.
@@gfear24 not true at all. That was one of the many myths the Queen Movie tried to sell.
In fact Bob Geldof himself said it was going well. But Bowies Speech with the Footage of the starving children was the reason it truly became a success.. not Queen.
@@halloweenjack95 Yeah Bowie's speech was incredible, but I believe that Queen is the reason the concert is considered as legendary as it is today. Not to say the other acts weren't unbelievable
Man if they allowed the Pompeii one it would of been number 1
Queen is legendary. Their concert in Montreal in 1981 is a spectacle to witness. Best concert I’ve ever seen.
Yeah exactly I was there at that time and his fan base frikin crazy
the Montreal concert is completely overdubbed
Queen by far is my favorite. Unfortunately, I was too young to see them before Freddie passed. I did get to see Queen a few years ago live with Adam Lambert. Still a spectacle to see. They paid homage to Freddie, so much respect I have for that band.
Nobody can top Queen's iconic LiveAid concert, at all!!!!!!
Maybe pulse or Pompeii, but Pompeii had no audiance
Nobody tops them popularity wise but there’s concerts that were better either audience wise or performance level/energy wise
PULSE easily beats it
Freddie Mercury and Queen are magnificent, and exactly in the right position 👑❤️🎸🎹🎤🥁💯
Queens Live aid performance:
0% attitude
0% Ego
%100 Talent and showmanship!
There will never be another Freddie or Queen, let's revel in what we were fortunate enough to see unfold...
"We are the Champions" , what a legendary song
Queen was the shit like the beetles
How did Prince at the Super Bowl in Miami not make the list?
He performed in the pouring rain with 3 separate live guitars and two dancers in 6in platform boots with high heels. Many hold it in regard as the best Superbowl halftime show ever.
I agree completely! Prince was absolutely outstanding! Everything was perfect, the set, the build up, the rain, the dancing, the rocking guitar, everything. That tiny man was a monster for 15 minutes!
yes! I almost argue that the Prince Coachella performance should’ve been replaced by his halftime show
Same reason MJ at the Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl didn't make the list.
And MJ would have placed higher.
They didn't put the same artist on multiple list.
If they would have, Queen would have been on this list at least 4 times
Queen is unbeatable. I was hoping you would include David Bowie’s 50th Birthday Party in 1997 at MSG with special quests -excellent concert.
Queen is overrated.
@@thebeatnumber real,he's a great vocalist but they be taking it a little far
@@thebeatnumber he being Freddie
@@thebeatnumber your opinion...
Queen's Live Aid performance is the best concert in history. Fact.
I know many people don't know who they are, but The Band's "Last Waltz" concert is such a captivating performance which also featured guests like Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Ringo Starr, and should have at least made the honourable mentions.
You're kidding? It didn't even make the honorable mentions? But the Band are legends, and that final show was incredible!
Agree completely. I had tickets, but my wife and two babies got sick so I had to miss it. I have the movie on every medium possible.
Prince at the super bowl was honestly one of the best live performances in my opinion that I witnessed personally
dude that is so awesome you got to witness that. hands down my favorite performance.
That time the held a football game at a Prince concert. Oh, and he performed one the greatest concerts ever in the rain.
Live Aid was now played 37 years ago. Your memory lives on, Mr. Fahrenheit.
Iron Maiden "Rock in Rio" in 2001 is absolutely epic!
Should of been on the list for sure
I second this. Rock in Rio belongs on this list. Without it the video is a fail, do better watch mojo.
My thoughts exactly.
No question imo that some of the substandard (for this list) US ones should have been replaced with at least a few Rio ones!
Add to the list... Rush R40 in Toronto, 2015. Not only one of the most polished performances ever -- the entire premise of going backward in time linearly with their music and their stage equipment (from the most modern up-to-date stage to ending up with 1 amp on each side of the stage, ON CHAIRS)... An incredible watch. Will never see the like again. RIP Neil.
So happy that I got to see Rush at all! Shrine Aud in LA, some time in the early 70's.... my mind is missing, don't know the year
I worked the Montreal show r30 and r40
Glad you mentioned AC/DC At the River Plate.
THAT is epic.
The Beatles on the Apple building rooftop in1969, singing songs (now classics) that they had just written and barely knew.
yeh, imo, no question that outdoes the venue chosen for the list! That's one of the main reasons I see this list as being America's top performances, with a few token others thrown in, rather than a genuine list
I love this list!!! A lot of good performances. The Queen live aid will always and forever be number 1. I completely agree with this list.
You're clearly American then if you agree with this list. Way too many American ones that don't belong on it
@@mehere8038 Well, me here, You have no idea where I am from. That's okay, speaking in generalities and making closed minded judgments on the internet have no effect in real life. Your comment makes about as much sense as saying YOU must not be American and have bad taste in music. Right mate?
@@crazy1234573 ok sure, America has 4% of the global population, but 80% of all the world's best concerts in history right? If you want to believe that, you go for it, you're not worth arguing with are you
@@mehere8038 I never, ever said America has 80% of the world's best concerts, just because I like this list doesn't mean I believe that at all. You think what you want.
@@crazy1234573 by saying "I completely agree with this list." that is EXACTLY what you are saying!
Don't deny it! You said you "completely agree" with the list that put 80% of the world's best concerts in the US
Great list! If there’s ever a follow up, Black Sabbath live in Paris 1970 is absolutely amazing! It’s one of their greatest performances. So much power and energy!
Freddie died when I was way to young and had never heard of queen. Now they are one of my favorite bands. I would have given anything to have been able to see them at live aid
Prince Live at Superbowl XLI 2007
The Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore West ‘71
Deep Purple Made in Japan ‘72
Queen’s Live Aid performance was the best.
Just like the beetles from London England freddy Mercury's last time in 1989
@@shawnbopko858 - No, The Beatles (note correct spelling) were from Liverpool, NOT London.
Michael Jackson is the BEST.
@@ghostly0_YTWow, he can moonwalk, so captivating. Anyway...
@@ghostly0_YTWe're talking about live performances, that moonwalk is overrated asf.
Queen, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles , The Who , the stones Pink Floyd etc
Stevie Nick's is just quite simply incredible. I've since her in concert back in 2009 and she is amazing. The kindest person too... 💗 💖 I met her back stage and she was incredibly generous.
I think that muse live at the Rome Olympic stadium deserved to make this list
At Wembley
@@thealecexperience1087 just any muse live performance tbh
NOPE.
Freddie was having problems with his vocal chords going into Live Aid. The crowd was not a typical "Queen" crowd. The crowd became a typical Queen crowd rather quickly. The Live Aid set caused record shops to become flooded with shoppers looking for any, and all Queen albums. There's a reason why they were the band who first figured out how to come out of stadium shows making a profit. They were one of the only acts on that day who had prior experience playing to massive crowds. Then they manipulated the sound board (that was one of the few factually correct things in 'Bohemian Rhapsody') so they would be louder than everyone else. And the rest is history.
what's wrong in it? I don't know them well enough to know what was fact & what was fiction from what I saw in that movie
How Beyonce and The Notorious BIG get in but not a single AC/DC live show does is beyond me
agreed. absolute criminal
Too many Black people?
Cannot dispute this...good list
Oasis at Knebworth, Simon and Garfunkel - the concert in Central Park, George Harrison et al - While my guitar gently weeps Princes trust concert.
I wish I could've been there for Metallica in Moscow!
I saw them the next year in July of 92
That drummer in Nirvana looks like the dude from Foo Fighters!
Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl and Motown 25 and Beyonce headlining Coachella are some of the best live performances ever! Elvis's comeback special, Adele's concert at Royal Albert Hall, there are so many.
or Elvis in Hawaii.
The lack of Pink Floyd had me bleeding out
I absolutely love #14 and I would've wanted to go to his concert!!!
long live the Queen. long may they reign 🎸🎹🥁🎸
Queen is unbeatable!
@Lak werd Mann du Hund Queen is overrated 🤓
Heres the thing, of course Queen at live aid is going to be #1, there is no other performance in the world that beats that. While the music is of course top tier, it is impossible to describe the impact of that performance. Even today 37 years later, the look is iconic, the music is iconic, the location is iconic, but the last straw here is the "Eh Oh". It has become so impactful that anytime any artist performs as Wembley or anywhere around the world, the chance for them to recreate that iconic moment is extremely high. It builds such a great energy and gets the entire audience involved. Artists from BTS to Green Day still to this day do it as an ode to this performance that changed the course of live music. Thank you Freddie Mercury.
Phil Collins Live in Paris 2004 best I have ever watched. In the Air Tonight was best All Time live song for me.
Prince at the super bowl should be here. He sang purple rain in a downpour and nailed it
Woah amazing performances ngl
Not surprised about Queens number 1 spot, but not having Pink Floyd Pulse concert listed makes me think this is just not to be taken seriously.
Exactly. Pulse should have been 1st or 2nd. That concert is Legendary.
@@midnite_rambler Exactly what I was thinking!
I’ve been to a fair amount of live concerts but none of them come close to the type of shows I’ve been to played by Static X. Those guys are as musical as they are an amazing show and always gets the crowd heavily involved in everything.
Glad to see Bruce Springsteen. Legendary live performances! Saw him in Boston at the 1,000 seat music hall when I was a kid back in 75. Dude was getting a STANDING OVATION half-way into his first song. First song. Never seen anything like it.
I watched Queen COMPLETELY steal the show!!!! Amazing!!!
Honestly, I wish I could go to ANY concert--even any of those.
Great list! Watching Freddie at Live Aid is always amazing, I could only imagine what it was like to be there. I don’t think I could put any of my favorite concerts in a list. My favorite concerts I’ve attended are….
Metallica/Guns N Roses - LA - 1992
Nine Inch Nails - Anaheim - 2000
Tool - LA - 2002
Up in Smoke Tour - Anaheim - 2000
No.1, good choice! 🤟 🎶 🖤
The Depeche Mode 101 concert should be mentioned. An english electronic group, playing in front of 70.000 fans at the Rose Bowl Stadium Pasadena. In the 80s that was unbelievable. Only rock bands could fill a stadium at that time.
I was expecting it too top five on my list.
Totally agree, I’ve seen them twice but unfortunately I was too young for the Rose Bowl concert. I have the dvd and it’s wonderful.
Yes I absolutely agree on this top 3 at least for me - nobody beats Freddie. I have seen Depeche 7 times and they are absolutely killing it on stage
Yes!!!
hummm it missing many great songs tho. there must be a better one with a better set list. well for my taste anyway.
Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden in 1973 was one of their best live performances. Wish I had been there.
damn! i am definitely signing up for the next coachella !
What a legend,there will never be another Freddie Mercury ❤
I love Queen. RIP Freddie. xx
I would have thought that Pink Floyd at Earl's Court during their 1980-81 tour for The Wall or at least Roger Waters' 2010-13 tour for The Wall's 30th anniversary would've been on here, but I won't deny with Queen at Live Aid is definitely deserving of #1
came here to say this. saw the roger waters show in buffalo new york and it was the greatest concert experience of my life
@@wavybabe797 I'm actually going to see him here in Toronto this Friday and I'm so excited
I saw Waters in 98 with about 5k ppl in attendance, It was magical, but as much as I love Pink Floyd, from all their shows/stuff, none really come to my mind as an Outstanding Performance. They actually had a lot of sound problems all across their prime in the 70's and the last tour, Pulse, ok it was gigantic but It was a well oiled machine and not really one great show. If Pompeii would had been in front of a crowd, It would had been on this list for sure. Honorable mentions to 3 Floyd related show though, Waters Live at Berlin after the wall felt; Gilmour's Live at Dansk and Floyd's show in Venice in 88 which was out of the ordinary in every way.
@@louissamson4609 thats a good point. it was more of a big extravagant show than it was a music performance. but still one of the best ive seen
Something from the king of rock and roll surely!
if queen was not number 1 I was about to riot..;)
2:33 When she paused for a while, I thought she gonna follow it up with, "I used to read Word Up magazine" lmao
Queen at live aid is hands down the best live performance
Pompeii
@@pizzaman4385 did you not watch the first 10 seconds of the video?
@@sir_sack I did, but… pompeii
@@pizzaman4385 no audience...
@@sir_sack ahem… camera crew
Great Video and picks!
But i think that Rammstein at the madison square garden in 2010 deserved a place too.
I've seen my share of concerts mostly live and quite a few on the screen. All I can say is actually being there is better than watching it on screen. While most of the acts put on a decent show there were some you could tell they were just going through the motions. Either for the money, or contractual obligations. Then there were some truly great shows that didn't fail to disappoint.
Queen never failed, regardless of venue. Live Aid was phenomenal but just a condensed version of what they could do. ELO did the World Series of Rock with a hell of a stage presence. I missed that one, but when I did see them in the early 80's, despite no orchestra, did a fine good job. Lastly, Kiss. This was a live you did not want to miss. Make up/ no make up. Absolutely pure rock and roll night and party every day. Their concert under the bridge was a classic.
Elvis ...Aloha from Hawaii
Freddie is the GOAT 🐐
Prince 2007 super bowl
How in the hell isn't Milli Vanilli not make this list they were the greatest live performers ever lol
👍🏻🤘🏻😉🤣
They were truly talented with original works of music. No idea how they aren’t on here.
@@BeingTheBear haha thank you very much for trying to bring the travesty of this list lol
“Girl you know it’s…Girl you know it’s…Girl you know it’s….Girl you know it’s…Girl you know it’s…”
@@joermnyc ooh ooh ooh I love you girl lol haha thanks for playing into that that was awesome lol
Great list. Here's a few that I would include:
Nine Inch Nails--Woodstock 1994: Although not a technical masterpiece, these guys gave one hell of an intense performance, beginning with them emerging onto the stage caked in mud and concluding with the classic Head Like a Hole. I'd say this was one of the moments in the mid 1990's that helped to make this band.
AC/DC--Donnington 1991: Just a great performance from one of the best hard rock bands of all time.
Garth Brooks--Live in Central Park 1998: One of the high points of Garth's career, with a lot of standout moments, including teaming up with Billy Joel for New York State of Mind and You May be Right.
Pink Floyd--Knebworth 1990: Though brief (under an hour), this was a truly amazing set, perhaps one of the best Post-Waters shows, made even more amazing because the second half was in the pouring rain.
Queen obv. Its amazing
I wish I could have seen Queen at Live Aid
No Pink Floyd? No Rush?
YES SIR! QUEEN #1 EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME BABY
ACDC at River Plate is not an honorable mention. It's a 3 days set with millions in attendance and incredible energy. N.1 for me.
Why is this woman's voice so perfect narration for such as this? But I love it.
Coachella getting waaaaaaay too much love here
One other great live performance not mentioned was mentioned on Ken Burns Jazz documentary series was the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival with Duke Ellington's Jazz Orchestra and the Tenor Saxophonist Paul Gonsalves playing an amazing 27 chorus solo on "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" which made the audience get up and dance around rather than walk away and saved Duke Ellington's career.
You CANNOT listen to that song and not feel the energy that was there that night.
I would love to have been at Phil Collins concert in Paris in 2004!
You want musical history? What about Rodger Waters performing The Wall concert after the Berlin Wall came down? Featuring The likes of The Scorpions, Van Morrison and Cyndi Lauper among others that's the only pick that I think should have been there that wasn't
I would say that was a historic event, but not really that great of a performance as many of the guest stars didn't seem to quite fit the moment, IMO.
LCD Soundsystem's 'final' concert at Madison Square Garden is still the stuff of legend to me
All of monsters of Moscow was great man
Pantera
Metallica
And AC/DC
That’s a killer lineup
Michael Jackson 🙌🏻🔥
I was lucky enough to see him with his brother’s in 1984
AC/DC on June 14th 2001 at The Olympiastadion in Munich, Germany on their The Stiff Upper Lip tour...Life changing rock show.
Oh hello nostalgia 🥰
I would like to see Megadeth live 1988 Essen, Germany.
I went to Hellfest this year. Nightwish stole the show.

I was there, well watching MTV and it was a momentous and heartstopping performance no doubt. Who can really say though what was the best live performance ever. Its like saying what was the tastiest chicken wing ever consumed. Shoul have included Beatles 3 Saville row and Rush Hartford CT 2002. A shout out, and happy 4th to my girl Rebecca.
I'm a super fan of Queen since 1991, so I agree with number 1 :-), but this list should include also "Exit stage left" from Rush.
coool
[Part 2 of 2]
A performance that absolutely tore my heart apart was at the AMA’s when with only a piano, A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera poured out emotions of pain, longing, heart ache, and its all so palpable. It feels like it comes from a place of real, raw emotion. Not gonna lie, I cried like a wee baby.
(7) A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera Belt Out a Powerful Rendition of "Say Something" at AMA 2013 - UA-cam
As a show of things to come, on her first appearance on the BET Awards, 19 May 2001, Christina Aguilera not only did a stripped down version of Whitney Houston’s 1993 hit, “I Want To Run To You”, but at her tender age, she wowed a tough to please BET Awards audience, even gaining a Standing-O.
(7) Christina Aguilera - Run To You (Live at 1st BET Awards 19.06.2001) (HD) - UA-cam
This is, without a doubt, what led to, of all people, the American Music Awards in 2017 and Whitney’s Family, after the tragic death of a True Diva, Whitney Houston chose Christina Aguilera to pay tribute the Legend of Whitney Houston. Standing there, in a very simple black dress, very simple makeup and her hair simply slicked back, Christina Aguilera not only did justice to the memory of Whitney Houston, nbut she had EVERYONE in that auditorium in the palm of her hand, on their feet. They cheered her soaring notes and her near whispers. It was most definitely Whitney’s song, but in so very many ways, Christina Aguilera tool the melody of songs somewhere so very special. As if that were not enough, she took Whitney Houston’s cover of the Great Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman” into a absolute tribute to Whitney, made it a very special ANTHEM for every woman there and every Woman watching. Respect.
(7) Christina Aguilera - Whitney Houston & The Bodyguard Tribute (Live on American Music Awards 2017) - UA-cam
I would take Christina Aguilera with dressed down, minimalistic, so very sincerely from her heart and Soul, everyday, over someone who claimed the work of a Legendary Choreographer, Mister Bob Fosse. Who has a need to put on a show so over the top, it overwhelms all your senses. That’s just too much work to win over an audience. If you have to work that hard, claim someone else’s work as your own, are really exceptionally talented, Beyoncé?
Christina does do over the top elements in her tours, but it has true meaning, live, in front of the nation, representing something real, Christina Aguilera let’s her raw talent tell her whole story. No props, no dancers, not pyrotechnics, not light shows. Just a microphone and Miss Christina Aguilera.
You also overlooked another outstanding live performer that FAR TOO FEW people have truly recognized the breadth of her talent, Miss Janelle Monáe.
Her show for the Obama’s at the White House was electric. I don’t suppose you remember her opening the Oscars? At the Oscars, she was just so kinetic, she was undeniable. She was very reminiscent of Prince.
(7) Janelle Monáe - Come Alive [Live at The Oscars 2020] - UA-cam
At the White House, she was her OWN person, she was also melding of Aretha Franklin, Parry LaBelle, James Brown, and a touch of Prince, but all in her OWN Unique art. An oldy from a Legendary James Bond Film and one of her very own, that is so well crafted, and defiant and electric, only Janelle Monáe could possibly bring her lyrics to life, in quite this way, IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Wow, Just WOW!
(7) 02 Janelle Monáe Goldfinger - UA-cam

Another WORTHY replacement for Beyoncé on your list for TRUE, AUTHENTIC, GREATNESS IN LIVE PERFORMANCES!!!
We get it. You love Agulera..lol. gtfo
Never been to a Nine Inch Nails show?
. But Queen are definately number 1.
David Bowie Live Nassau Coliseum ’76. Legendary!
Judas Priest 1975 BBC Performance at the Old Grey. The entire thing but specifically Dreamer Deceiver/ Deceiver. Chills every time.
Love Prince and Queen! Absolutely great list Mojo!
Definitely one of the best Michael Jackson I would have loved to have seen his concert he was definitely the King of Pop and always will be I don't think anyone can take his place and I would have liked to seen Prince's concert too it's just sad that you'll never get an opportunity to ever see them again and Bruce Springsteen but some of them I wouldn't go to their concerts even if the tickets were free like Metallica I can never understand why people like their music and I would have liked to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles Elton John and Freddie Mercury
I saw him the one and only time he ever came to the city I live in in 1986, he came with his brother’s. Even though I was only 6 at the time it’s a concert I’ll never forget
Before ppl just say concerts they've been to. That's a unique experience to you. Yes it might be the best you've ever seen but that's you.
I remember going to see the Backstreet Boys in 2019, and I saw it live. Also you could've mentioned Michael Jackson at the Superbowl
Seems that almost all the quality acts are not mentioned. And Freddy Mercury and Barcelona the magic of the moment, nothing surpassed that night
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Fantastic live bands: Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Led Zeppelin
And Black Sabbath
Not even a mention of KISS? Nobody on this list is even close except for Hendrix, AC/DC and Metallica. Give the Beatles thumbs up for sheer popularity.
Remember concerts before smartphones and social media?
