Thank you so much Tammy!

[@IliaKemp]

Great comments King.

[@jome7382]

Freddie controlled the world that day for 20 mins the world was his ❤

[@katrinacash6393]

I haven't read through all of the comments to see if this has already been posted but Freddie had a throat infection and performed against the advice of his doctor. That makes this performace all the more amazing. He was such a force! Queen is the first band to have all of its members inducted into the Songwriting Hall of Fame. They all wrote songs for the band which provided their noted diversity of genres. The Queen Live Aid setlist with songwriter is: Bohemian Rhapsody - Freddie Mercury Radio Ga Ga - Drummer Roger Taylor Ay-Oh - Freddie's Ad libs Hammer To Fall - Brian May Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Freddie Mercury We Will Rock You - Brian May We Are The Champions - Freddie Mercury. The bassist, John Deacon, wrote several of the biggest hits as well though none of his were performed at Live Aid.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Wow his energy didn’t show that he was sick!

[@Nancy-beepbeep]

it upsets me that they didn’t do one of John’s songs, but nothing new with John getting the shaft

[@Sassypaws4927]

Live Aid was a duel-venue concert held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London (audience of 72,000) and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (audience of 100,000) that was connected and broadcast over 13 satellites worldwide to an audience of over 1.9 Billion. The purpose of the concert was to raise money to aid Ethiopia which was suffering from 2-year drought. There were 75+ acts, each allotted a 20-minute slot to perform. The UK line-up included Status Quo,, David Bowie, Elton John, Wham!, Sting, U2, The Who, Paul McCartney, and Bob Geldof with his band The Boomtown Rats. The US bill included Madonna, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Petty. Phil Collins played in both London and then caught the Concord Supersonic Jet and flew to perform again in Philly. FYI - Freddie was performing against his doctor's orders. Believe it or not, he had a throat infection during this concert which explained why his voice broke a couple of times during the performance. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time because they could connect with an audience.” Queen's playlist was: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody (just the ballad and guitar portion) 2. Radio Ga Ga (the song that inspired Lady Ga Ga's name) 3. Freddie's Call and Response 4. Hammer to Fall 5. Crazy Little Thing Called Love 6. We Will Rock You (just the first verse and guitar solo) 7. We Are The Champions FYI - Freddie wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" while taking a bath in his hotel in Berlin. It took him about 10 minutes to write it. He was inspired and yelled for someone to bring him a guitar which he used to write the song. (Roger said that he never understood how Freddie got the guitar in the tub.) . It is Freddie's and the band's tribute to Elvis. There was another song that Freddie and Brian performed during the end of the Wembley concert: 8. Is This The World We Created (performed by Freddie and Brian toward the end of the Wembley concert) here is the link to watch it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJradaJtlKyroK8 You might be interested in the interview that Queen did before Live Aid - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIKuZWWsYtiHhdU

Thank you for sharing this information with us.

72,000 at Wembley...another 100,000 watching at a satellite concert in Philly, and 1.2 billion watching on TV globally. No one commanded a stage like Freddie..his crowd control was legendary!

[@samloveslfc]

Freddie designed the Queen logo around the bands astrological signs, if you look closely the two fairies at the bottom signify Virgo. Edit : Crazy Little Thing Called Love was written by Freddie as a tribute to Elvis. Elvis died in '77, Freddie wrote it in '79. Word is he wrote it in the bath in about 10 minutes!

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Wow I never looked that closely at their logo. Thank you!

[@sherryheim5504]

Sold out crowd of 72,000. No covers, Freddie wrote that song as a tribute to Elvis. Each group only had 20 minutes and this is the full set except for where it cuts off at the end. Amazing performance by the entire band. Thank you.

[@nancyblumberg4612]

This video with the cut of is not the right one. Someone but a bad video out there and screwed it for everyone.

[@egk2584]

All of these are Queen songs. Crazy Little Thing Called love was a homage to Elvis. Freddie reportedly wrote it 10-15 minutes while taking a bath. :)

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Wow! Didn’t know that

[@astraboots]

Crazy Little Thing Called was written by Freddie within 10 minutes as a tribute to Elvis Presley. Each band at the Live Aid concert had a 20-minute slot each . Check out some of Queen's concerts like Wembley 86 starting with the opening song One Vision dedicated to Martin Luther King Junior. And 1985 Montreal live HD starting with somebody to love. Freddie thought that somebody to love was even a better song that he wrote then Bohemian Rhapsody. Great reaction to this legendary band. X

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks

[@gracielahonig]

Thanks dear for your Queen reaction and Happy birthday! You asked what's the best performance in Live Aid? This is the best performance! All people said that Queen "stole the show"... and is true! Big hug from this huge Queen and Freddie fan !!!! 👑❤️

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thank you so much Gracie! Looks like they definitely stole the show!

[@GinMae]

I recall Brian May commented that he was surprised that so many others were surprised at how well they did .. because, as Brian said.. "we were very experienced in playing to large stadiums..." lol

[@patriciakent6728]

[@daisyperegrino6380]

Freddie Mercury wrote the song Little Things called love..tribute to Elvis Presley

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

Great reaction, there was 72,000 of us in that crowd that day, yes I was there and was 16 at the time and we didn't know for certain whether Queen were going to appear as they weren't on the "official" line up and we all went crazy when they came on. I've been their biggest fan ever since and am now 54. I saw them twice live the following year in July 1986 at the same stadium as Live Aid (Wembley) and then Freddie's ever last LIVE performance with Queen at Knebworth in August 1986 when there were 150,000 in the crowd !!!!

[@scottclark7309]

Without question queen stole the show. Queen made rock history with this 20min set R.I.P. FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

[@Melissa02891]

I watched all 16 hours of Live aid with music from 75 performers gathered in Wembley UK and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and you just watched the best 20 minutes of it. Live Aid was globally linked by satellite shown in 110 nations and watched by an estimated 1.5 billion viewers, they raised more than $125 million dollars for famine striken Africa where hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians had died of hunger and illness. Phil Collins actually performed in Philadelphia and then hopped on the Concorde and flew to London and gave a second performance at Wembley stadium. That crowd had no idea Queen was appearing that day, it was a last minute decision on their part. As you can see Queen and the audience made musical history that day 👑

[@rosekelly1097]

he really was the worlds greatest showman, he could hold millions in his hand, he was that luved. x

[@ajruther67]

Freddie was so loved that he could command ANY crowd

[@lidiavilasecaperramon6983]

Have you already reacted to Somebody to love live Montreal 1981? He considered it one of his bests songs and this live performance was epic. You could check also Save me, in Montreal 1981 too.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

This is my first Queen reaction! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@nancyblumberg4612]

A few quick notes, Freddie was suffering from a bad throat infection and the doctor told him not to sing. Freddie being Freddie sung his heart out and you would never know he was sick. He was drinking tea and honey for his throat. I saw that someone told you about them stealing the show and they did. Elton John came back stage and said, “ you know what, how can anyone follow that?” There was an encore at the end with Brian and Freddie singing Is this the world We created. The song is beautiful and sounds like it was written for this, but they wrote it long before Live Aid. This concert was held all day with everyone that was anyone playing. The list is really long look at it. Queen stole the show hands down! This was a huge fundraiser for the famine in Africa. The fundraiser was also in the States at the same time. There will never be another fundraiser like this ever again. Elton John, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, and on and on! Queen played to huge crowds all the time and knew how to get everyone involved. England was ruled by another Queen for 20 minutes that day! Just remember Freddie wasn’t even performing at his normal self. Queen Has so much talent it is nuts. They all wrote music, they all had number one hits and all were inducted in the Song writers hall of Fame. They are the best for many reasons. Freddie will always be with us. His music will always live forever. RIP dear man the world will never forget you❤.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks for sharing Nancy

[@viviennerose6858]

I've read they were the actually the only band that rehearsed their set. They were given a time slot and they over-ran it by 20 SECONDS! Truly the best group ever. I doubt very much the like of them will ever appear again. I've been a fan from day one of hearing Seven Seas of Rhye when 1st released. Love Freddie to bits 'warts 'n' all'! Taken from us far too soon 😥😥😥😥😥

[@jeffsaviola2109]

If you also want to witness something very cool .. look up .. Green Day concert crowd singing queen .. it’s the music they play before concerts thru the sound system … it’s amazing

[@User_Albert_V]

There was over 70,000 people in attendance in Wembley Stadium, but this concert to provide food and medical supplies to Africa had a total world-wide audience of over 1 Billion people, and was broadcast on 13 satellites. 👍👍👍

[@LillyRose924]

I read an interview where Freddie said he will be very emotional performing We Are the Champions and might cry. The Band's Live Aid performance was so pivotal. Freddie especially always expressed deep love for his fans. You sending love to your supporters....that's the Freddie in you. We love and appreciate you too xxx

[@loridanarandolph2648]

There were 72,000 at Wembley and 100,000 in Philadelphia. Acts rotated between the locations and everyone had 20 min sets. This was broadcast live to 1.5 billion people

[@georgiacoombes699]

Fabulous reaction to the best live performance ever by the world’s greatest band, thank you! There were a huge number of artists performing that day & Queen stole the show! They were one of the few bands who understood the concept of the show & performed a number of their greatest hits, having practiced relentlessly beforehand so they could fit as many songs into their allotted 21 mins which is the time each group had! Sir Brian May( he was knighted by King Charles) & Roger Taylor (drums) are still performing to this day with Adam Lambert as Queen + Adam Lambert & still rockin’ it! More Queen pls, if you haven’t done so pls do Somebody to Love live at Montreal in 1985, apart from Live Aid this is their greatest live performance. Liked & subscribed, love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@janetd8198]

Of course, the credits of the movie start with "Don't Stop Me Now" which is a must see and reaction!

[@viviennerose6858]

One more comment - in an online interview Brian May says Queen weren't even on the playlist! So, presumably, the majority of the audience were probably there to see other acts!!! Of course, loads were there just to see anyone, and to help the Live Aid charity

[@IliaKemp]

72,0000 people at Wembley, another 100,000 in Philadelphia, and 1,2 billion watching on TV globally. The Olympics have 3 satellites...Live Aid had 13. I wasn't a Queen fan at all, but after that day..I was lol! The world for Africa! I remember it was very hot that day in Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985 but it was worth it, best day in my life! 👏👏🇳🇱

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

There is a cLip out there on KZbin with a split screen: On one side is the actual performance, and on the other is this scene from the movie. They are almost in complete sync….including Freddie’s stage moves. It is VERY impressive.

Wow I have to see that!

[@sharonvincent4238]

Brian May, who played lead guitar, could sing, write songs, and play the guitar at the highest level. He also has a PHD in astrophysics and helped develop an instrument that will help Pluto be explored a bit. And he funds an animal rescue site. Not bad.

I was There at Wembley stadium in 13th July 1985 live Aid concert and they was 72.000 at Wembley stadium that day and the best Act of The day

[@viviennerose6858]

Hope I'm not repeating other comments, but Freddie was performing against doctor's orders because of serious throat infection. You could never guess that, and might attribute minute crack in his vocals right at the very end to just tiredness, which never showed anywhere throughout. What a man, what a performer!

Thanks, King! They were all amazing... if you have not already, you should check out the 1981 Live in Montreal concert... appreciate your reactions!.. also, apparently bands were asked not to introduce new music, but to play their hits... of course, Queen had a lot to choose from... ALL of the songs are Queen originals... Elvis was an inspiration for Freddie on "Crazy little thing..." (p.s. regarding the film.. as a long-time fan.. from my teenage years... it was "okay" but the timeline was off in a lot of regards... I guess it would have had to be at least 12 hours long to satisfy me.. lol)

[@charlieb.7028]

Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 66 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: They had just completed a Tour a month b4. So, they went & rented a Stadium to practice the performance. He ended up with a Throat Infection & the Doctor highly recommended he not do it bc he might lose his musical ability. He said no! Can you tell he had a severe throat infection? Most people think he was drinking booze from the cups bc on the piano. He’s drinking Honey & Tea. His command of the Audience was more than coincidence it was miraculous. Considering there were so many people there the sound was getting absorbed through them. So the people @ the back we’re following his hand gestures bc the actual sound hadn’t even reached them b4 the next sound was coming @ them. Go back & watch what his hands are doing & what the Audience is doing. NEXT: Radio Gaga is celebrating Radio bc M-TV is just getting started. LADY GAGA was a huge Freddie Fam growing up, so That was where she came up with HER STAGE NAME! You have to listen to the words to really understand the meaning. Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person! NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience. NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”! (Can’t you just see that!?). NEXT FREDDIE’s VOICE. HE HAD 4 extra teeth so that’s the reason he had such an overbite. He had the ability to naturally flow from Octave to Octave. It was a natural progression, for him. SCIENTIFICALLY: Test were done on his Voice. He was able to use his Throat muscles on either side of his vocal cords. Which is normally seen in some Opera Singers. His Vocal Range was from Low Bass F, to High Soprano F! They were extremely surprised to find out that he could go from about 92Hz to 784Hz, effortlessly! See ACTUAL REPORT BELOW: nyone who has listened to a Queen track knows that Freddie has a unique ability that still has not been truly replicated since. His ability to blend highs, lows and mid range notes cohesively and with immense precision. This skill was due to the fact that Freddie was able to create faster vibrato and harmonics than any other singer at the time. Not only this, he was able to shift through registers effortlessly. Although he naturally held a baritone voice, he primarily sang as a tenor and of course had no problem then shifting into soprano parts. One study on Freddie’s vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves! 25:41 I’m sorry to take up your Valuable Time, and I thank you. You need anymore Trivia I’m your G’Ma go to. My Brain is full, especially with music, & believe it or not Sports! I watched a lot a “first reactions” on this particular Concert. You seemed to be the one most amazed, & truly wanting to know EVERYTHING you could find out about this Concert.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS! It means a lot

[@trevorgoddard2278]

The only song in this set that wasn't a long-standing stadium favourite was Sir Brian May's "Hammer To Fall" which was their most recently released single at the time. Like many before you, you thought "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" might be an Elvis cover, Freddie famously wrote it using an acoustic guitar in a hotel bath in about 10 minutes as an homage to Elvis who had died a few years before. You are not alone, many people listening to it on the radio when it was released thought it was a recently discovered Elvis recording (Freddie had such s versatile voice). Unfortunately like many other reactors this was one of the edited versions which claim to be the full concert performance. As to the "Bohemian Rhapsody" film (movie) there are many factual and timeline errors, but as it was made as a celebration of Freddie's life condensed down to fit, I have no real complaints, and I did enjoy the little Easter eggs put in for the long term fans to spot (I didn't spot them all first time round). The band still goes on, new lead singer, new bass player, extra drummer, long standing keyboard player, but Roger still plays the drums and sings, Brian still sings and plays a variety of guitars, and the Red Special still sings to the crowd (in the hands of Sir Bri) even though it is older than the band and most of the fans, hand made by the May's father and son team (because he couldn't afford to buy a decent guitar as a teenager).

This edit of the video takes out the spot where Freddie's voice cracked a little on the final "champions' - which I don't understand why, as it wasn't that big a deal... he still nailed the "of the world". There's at least one version of this set on YT where it is left in.

[@marianclough8577]

Freddie wrote Crazy LIttle Thing Called Love. Queen members wrote every song that they sang. My husband and I watched on TV at home in the US and we both considered Queen to be the best. Second would've been Phil Collins' two performances. On in the UK and then, after a trip via Concord to Philadelphia, his second performance of the day.Sadly, someone cut this particular video.

[@LMTino]

The film served a keen purpose (intro for a new generation) but pales in comparison to the real thing. When you invent the life and work you want with a confidence and grace to carry it off, it is hard to forget. Sorry you got the flawed version circulating with the ending cut off...the full set can be seen with the opening act of the 2 English cops/comedy duo. Even tethered to the mic cord doesn't hold him back. Sheer joy, powered by Queen. From another Virgo, with thanks for this reaction and more to come!

Also this was Freddie on a bad day. His doctors advised him against singing because of an issue he had with nodules on his vocal cords. So this was him not at 100 percent, and Queen completely stole the show!

Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 66 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: They had just completed a Tour a month b4. So, they went & rented a Stadium to practice the performance. He ended up with a Throat Infection & the Doctor highly recommended he not do it bc he might lose his musical ability. He said no! Can you tell he had a severe throat infection? Most people think he was drinking booze from the cups bc on the piano. He’s drinking Honey & Tea. His command of the Audience was more than coincidence it was miraculous. Considering there were so many people there the sound was getting absorbed through them. So the people @ the back we’re following his hand gestures bc the actual sound hadn’t even reached them b4 the next sound was coming @ them. Go back & watch what his hands are doing & what the Audience is doing. NEXT: Radio Gaga is celebrating Radio bc M-TV is just getting started. LADY GAGA was a huge Freddie Fam growing up, so That was where she came up with HER STAGE NAME! You have to listen to the words to really understand the meaning. Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person! NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience. NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”! (Can’t you just see that!?). NEXT FREDDIE’s VOICE. HE HAD 4 extra teeth so that’s the reason he had such an overbite. He had the ability to naturally flow from Octave to Octave. It was a natural progression, for him. SCIENTIFICALLY: Test were done on his Voice. He was able to use his Throat muscles on either side of his vocal cords. Which is normally seen in some Opera Singers. His Vocal Range was from Low Bass F, to High Soprano F! They were extremely surprised to find out that he could go from about 92Hz to 784Hz, effortlessly! See ACTUAL REPORT BELOW: nyone who has listened to a Queen track knows that Freddie has a unique ability that still has not been truly replicated since. His ability to blend highs, lows and mid range notes cohesively and with immense precision. This skill was due to the fact that Freddie was able to create faster vibrato and harmonics than any other singer at the time. Not only this, he was able to shift through registers effortlessly. Although he naturally held a baritone voice, he primarily sang as a tenor and of course had no problem then shifting into soprano parts. One study on Freddie’s vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves! LAST FUN FACT: His Lead Guitarist is playing on a Guitar he & his Father made. When he first starting to learn they were too poor to afford a high end guitar. So, they just made one! The included some “extras” that would normally have to be separate instruments to get all those features (think Concerts when you see guitarist changing Guitars depending on the Song….that’s why he didn’t)! I’m sorry to take up your Valuable Time, and I thank you. You need anymore Trivia I’m your G’Ma go to. My Brain is full, especially with music, & believe it or not Sports!
