Don't know what I love the most about this, Midge creepily whispering 'The beat cannot be landed', Elton's fury, or Freddie's relentless flirting with Bono. Freddie replying 'of course' to Bono saying he doesn't want to make the day all about him in such a way that shows he thinks Bono's a tosser whilst also wanting to get in his pants is a real highlight.

I couldn't agree more!!! I stumbled across this little gem about a year ago and I've watched it at least 20 plus times. Live Aid was a bit before my time and I had never heard of Status Quo. Obviously the skit is an exaggeration of themselves, but I hope the Quo are like that in real life. When asked if they took the helicopter... "Oh ya, looking down everybody looked like little ants." "Uhh Rick we took a cab." So damn funny!!!

You are indoctrinated by Geldof lies. The true history behind LiveAid will soon be exposed. I carry a piece of unknown history about the darker shadow that possesses Geldof’s soul. I pray he finds some real humanity, but his real motivations will soon be revealed and he is far from Saintly, he is a self possessed egotist, who cares only for the sake of fame, power, and celebrity!

Roger Taylor got cut out of frame in this just the same as he was cut out of frame from the Live Aid performance... during Live Aid the cameras just focused on Freddie. Brian and John appear occasionally, mostly because Freddie was standing next to them, but the only shot of Roger's face is literally over Freddie's shoulder for, like, 2 seconds as the camera zooms in on Freddie playing guitar, other than that we got a couple shots of the back of his head as the camera was trying to capture the massive audience. Poor Roger. I'm become a huge Roger Taylor fan, but for this spoof I agree with the decision to edit him out of frame... it's the most subtle spoof I have ever (not)seen.

So Bob thinks him begging for money is what got them to their goal? 😂😂😂 ohh plz!! Queen , and the Amazing Freddie Mercury on lead is what done it!! I never seen a live concert so damn good n my life. I was 8 years old and Queen was all I cared to hear. My parents were big fans and that’s how I was introduced to such a great band. My parents were rocker hippies and had a great ear for music and talent no doubt. Thank God that’s one thing I learned from them. I remember going through all their many records and seeing some of the most cool album covers I’ve ever seen. I loved Queens and Led Zeppelin had some really neat ones. Honestly there was a lot can’t even mention them all..Live Aid rocked and Ty Freddy and the band!! To this day hasn’t been beat yet as the best live concert!

This is all exaggerations based off some of the stories, eltons begonias happened but he was yelling at them as they were lifting up with the helicopter from his yard, The "give me your money" happened after queen was doing radio gaga, gandalf was on the scaffolding on his way to the BBC booth when he stopped to observe everyone clapping, after that he got on air.
