THE CONCERT WAS IN LONDON AT WEMBLEY STADIUM NOT AFRICA..THEY WERE SINGING TO RISE MONEY AND AWARENESS TO THE FAMINE TAKING PLACE IN AFRICA..THE CONSERTS WERE SPLIT INTO 3..ONE IN GERMANY..ONE IN LONDON AND ONE IN THE U.S.A..
Freddie had a bad throat and was told by a doctor not to perform. He apparently said it was lke gargling with broken glass. However Queen did and they smashed it. Each act had 20 minutes and if they went over they were cut off. Queen finished exactly on time.
This is actually Wembley Stadium in London but there were links to other locations in the world. I believe the attendance at Live Aid was between 90 & 100K.
Dude there’s 200 songs and 16 albums. Dive into the Queen rabbit hole and you will be blown away. They have such eclectic music. This was for an African famine. It took place in Wembley Stadium in the UK and other performers performed in Philly in the USA. Over 1/4 of the world watched on tv and about 72,000 in the stadium. Queen brought the energy. Each performer was only allowed 20 minutes to play. Queen managed to include many hits and shortened versions of their songs. They were the best performers of the day. Forget the movie as it’s entertaining but inaccurate. Dive in!
It was a biopic, not a documentary. Freddie was diagnosed with HIV in 1987 so, no, he didn't reveal his illness to his bandmates on the brink of Live Aid. The movie has many inaccuracies, warped timelines and fabrications so don't use it as a reference of Queen facts. Live Aid was a benefit concert to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. There were two stages, London & Philadelphia, with around 60 performances broadcast simultaneously to $1.5 Billion television viewers. Each performer was allotted 20 minutes for their set. It is widely acknowledged that Queen stole the show. Watch the entire set, you would probably enjoy it!
That movie was a travesty….the saddest thing of all was Brian and Roger signing off on that…some friends?…….Freddie when he was alive never trash talked his band mates…..and they were quite happy to do that after Freddie died
@@josephinemonahan915 Agree. By all accounts, Freddie was generous and kind. Nobody’s perfect so, of course, there were instances of discourse. The movie paints him as a difficult diva that didn’t appreciate his bandmates, Brian & Rog pay tribute to Freddie. at the Queen+ shows but signing off on the biopic is questionable.
You should watch their entire live aid concert
You really need to do the whole 20 minute set...it's amazing and it's why it's called the most iconic live set in rock history.
This ⬆️
it may seem like the whole 22 minute performance is long to watch, but truly it is a totally amazing experience
Pity you didn't see all the other songs he had on Live Aid - just brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

Wembley held 77k at the time. Over a Billion people watched that day! Queen stole the show that day.

It's amazing how the crowd immerses into the moment when they aren't holding mobile phones.
Those handclaps wouldn't be possible with a phone in hand
If not doing the whole show, then I won't bother
Who watches only one song...really?
Go watch the whole thing, including the extra 'is this the world we created' song from the end of the day.
Yeah, react to other live aid concerts, Madonna's set was good, also, and the Pretenders and Phil Collins
👍👍👍

@@ellet6560 they didnt only sign off on it .they are the ones who told the story that way knowing it to be false . its a big pile of steaming dog poo

Disappointing. You should have done the whole show.
VOLUME SO LOW !! So sad !
You mist so much, please go back watch the 20 minute set, no it took place in England to raise money for the starvation in Africa
