I was there!!! So was my baby boy Thomas, 9mo of age in his baby stroller. What an Amazing 😍🤩 Day!!! I still wear my Live Aid T-shirt. ❤ There was never anything like it, til this very day. Bob Geldolf pulled off quite a feat! Queen's Freddie Mercury was legendary as he commanded the audience like no one else! What a Voice!! Just got chills! 😢 Missu Freddie

[@indyracingnut]

It was. Radio was KING. And in my ears....it still is. I was 14 when this happened and as G-d as my witness, I've never seen its equal in the 39 years since.

[@Medusa13579]

I remember this like it was yesterday, clichéd as that is ! But 1985 was yesterday to me. I LOVED the 1980' s. The music, the fashion, the whole thing. I was 23 when Live Aid happened. I was a student nurse, and my 3 flatmates and I sat and watched the whole thing. We sang, we danced, we laughed and we cried. It was a very moving event. We felt very much part of something bigger, something important. It was a real zeitgeist moment in time . In our naive innocence, we thought that with the amount of money raised, it would bring about such changes in Africa. We were wrong of course . But I will NEVER forget that day 😊

Queen completely stole the entire Live Aid show, and it was a moment of pure love and joy.

[@samyandkitty8399]

I agree! Didn’t Diana have something to with them headlining this? I’m probably wrong I was a teen then but they were brilliant showmen,

[@brisvegasblonde6191]

I agree as well!!! It makes it even more special/significant now , knowing that Freddie was so terribly unwell at that very moment in time when doing the concert, yet gave such a polished, heartfelt, perfect (or as close to, as far as I’m concerned) performance!!!! He knew it was going to be the last time he performed live, as did his fellow Band Mates, Family and certain close friends, etc.

[@wirefeed3419]

@@brisvegasblonde6191 ​ I don’t want to say you are wrong with your facts but live Aid was not Queens last live performance with Freddy. Fact, Freddy was sick with the Virus at this time and showing various symptoms but not yet officially diagnosed, that did not come until 1987. Queens final live performance with Freddy out front took place on 9 August 1986 at Knebworth Park in England. Freddy would pass away from the AIDS Virus late 1991. It really doesn’t matter because Freddy was sick and Queens Live aid performance has been judged by the top artist as being the best live performance ever of all time.

[@lisacabana6058]

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!!!

[@chrisjames6327]

Don't agree - they were the certainly band who used the performance most successfully, to promote the remainder of their career. But there were lots of very popular performances on the day - Bowie, Sting, McCartney, U2, Elton John, Madonna etc were at the peak of their careers. This wasn't a big thing for them Queen were going nowhere in 1985. It was a huge thing for them

I could put this performance on a loop and watch it forever. I saw black and white poster of Freddy once and it said, "When I was a lad, my mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be. So I became a legend." How right he was. The rush it must have been looking out and seeing 73,000 people knowing every word and loving every minute of your remarkable talent. He made the world a better place and will be remembered forever.

[@jimmycadena2708]

My son asked, how can so many people come when there is no social media to announce such event. Told him, son, our times was a unique era that can never be duplicated. The bottom line of live aid is to help a famine stricken country. We were brought by a common love to help others, and it was so genuine and pure, that’s why so many came and watch in every country. Those who helped were never mentioned and do not need to. We need this again❤
