This is great. Glad it's on youtube, because aside from the 2-VHS set and Laserdisc, you will never see the individual band performances due to licensing and rights issues. The newer DVD only had the tribute performances.
i remember watchin the concert on the day and thinking.......Extreme took note of what Queen themselves did at Live Aid.......they stole the show in pure Queen style with a perfect well thought out set.....
They made a real effort to honour the occasion, I suspect their set was such because they were the only band musically capable of pulling off the 'complete Queen' set.
As perfect, simple yet well thought out as Queen's performance at Live Aid was. Just like Queen understood the concept of Live Aid, Extree understood teh tribute concert
I remember watching this, via the two VHS set that was released in 1992, i used to dance around my bedroom using a cricket bat as pretend Guitar, (air guitars were not invented until the Guitar shortage of 1996, Still brings a very special feeling watching this, Extreme are Extremely Talented, bless them
Well i must be fair i`am not a Extreme fan,but i`am massive Queen fan and the set they gave that day was very good.Fair play to them,plus my wife thinks that Gary and Nuno are hot!!
What's amazing is in this medley is beyond the obvious song choices, Nuno throws in part of the solo from Dead on Time during Keep Yourself Alive and the solo from Dancer in Another One Bites the Dust. I don't even know if the guys from Extreme realized how perfectly they captured the essence of Queen that night.
When I saw this back then, the first minute I was like "how dare they play Queen songs?" but then I was conquered by their incredible, flawless performance
@tompo010101 I do, I do. People say Extreme's mixture of funk and metal was inspired by Aerosmith, because both bands are from Queen. However, I detect a bigger Queen influence. Roger, Brain, and John must've felt the same way. Extreme were probably were big fans of Hot Space, and thought we can mix funk and rock like Queen did on that album.
Hab es damals live am TV verfolgt war einfach Hammergeil was Extreme da gebracht haben,war für mich der beste Auftritt an diesem geilenTag Freddie for ever du wirst ewig leben
Simply stunning - they were closest to the real thing! Fantastic!

Probably the best band of that day, they made a proper tribute, some others only played their own songs which imo it was a shame.

@BillMonarch They probably did ;) Tbh every Queen fan should see this, it's absolutely perfect in every way. For a band that's not Queen, that is.
