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.

"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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 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 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!
