i remember watching queen on live aid, and not being a queen fan i thought this is going to be a boring 20 mins or so, how wrong could i have been? they were easily the best band of the day by far and since that day i have become a massive fan of the band
Oh that's the secret! The old fashioned know who you are performing for (knowing one's audience), song choice (hits that everyone around the world recognizes) and rehearse it like heck for the twenty minute spot given with no playback or soundcheck rules before the gig!
i found it amusing that freddie was smoking in the video, mainly because of the fact he was able to smoke and still vocally outperform the shit out of everyone else.
@stacyy91 Yes but the end of the day, Freddie was gay, and the name "Queen" is the most gay name possible for a rock band. That will always count against him in the very masculine world of rock music. On every Queen YouTube video, there will be lots of people talking about his sexuality and calling him a faggot. That is just the way it is and will always be.
@KillPeopleForFun83 Back in the early 1970's the word Queen was not associated with anything gay. Freddie respected the British monarchy back then and he liked the name. He found it regal, simple, classy, he liked the short name. The word has evolved since then.
Freddie was an absolute legend and the rest of the band were also extremely talented musicians...a perfect storm but they transcended the normal bounds of musicianship by their ability to capitvate huge crowds. Live Aid was their finest hour and they made it look easy but practising is a lesson that Led Zeppelin learnt the hard way. RIP Freddy the world is a lesser place because of your absence.
does anyone know why Brian is not wearing trousers?? lol I wish i was born 10 years earlier to experience Queen at their height. I was born in '89, 2 years before Freddies death :(
These guys have never really known just how earth shatteringly talented they were. You would have to got to a Queen gig to know what I mean. I stood in front of Freddie once. As for the British press. I had an orgasm when the News of the World closed down. If i could i would chase down every single person who ever worked for them and pore petrol over the cunts and burn them.
What's with all that sexual orientation sh**?!? we're not in 14th century for God's sake..- stop it! they are/were great band, Freddie is still probably one of the most carismatic singers/persons of 20th century.. those are the facts, all the rest doesn't matter so f**k off if you don't like him/them and stop trolling around their videos!
@Yo1969Yo It doesn't matter years ago or present time. We face the same arrogance everywhere and every place. I think it's official in europe. As I said before, who cares? We always challenge..
@TC1923TBMM Well I care because what you called Roger Taylor was uncalled for plus you still didn't answer my question. I knew exactly what Roger meant. Please don't spin things. You need to show respect to a great musician. Next time use your words wisely.
I herd that the band Queen is actual gay all the members I herd that on a rock station? I just wanted to see if that was true even if they are I still like there music.
@Setheru87 Which radio station said that? Queen isdefinitely NOT a gay band.Some narrow minded people perceive Queen to be a gay band because Freddie Mercury was gay and as he was the most prolific and famous.Look at how popular they are on mainstream radio stations.The other 4 members are all married and have kids. Such songs as Killer Queen and the video for I Want To Break Free are camp in their style, but listen to Stone Cold Crazy and you realise they are very much a solid rock band.
@Highlander01 I agree. To me that is part of the charm, that they are really pleasant, eloquent and friendly looking blokes who happen to be able to do the most fantastic stuff on stage. They mention "egos"; I think they are confident enough that ego doesn't really play much of a part, they just know they can do their stuff. And so do we...

@ Tommyfazz - are you trying to take the piss? He was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar and his father Bomi Bulsara was a High Court cashier for the British government there
watching this now i look at the date and my mum was my age when she saw it live on her television she still loves queen no as much as she did then i'm glad i should end up like that. i'm so glad she brought me up with the music of queen!
@Yo1969Yo My dad already knew he was born there because hes a queen fan, we went to zanzibar to visit my siter and came up with the idea to search his house. Which was pretty easy to find. Its just a small house like all the houses there its located near the sea in stonetown. It isnt a popular attraction for tourists thats why it looks pretty normal, but it was a great feeling to know one of the best singers crawled around in that house!
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor ,John Deacon...Queen have been a fan for a long time..they just had such a different sound .first 5 albums no synths .saw them in concert '77 and '78 just brilliant it was not just 4 guys up there singing their albums live they grabbed you and took you on a musical journey. from the first cord , the first note you were swept away I saw alot of bands live and nobody did what they did Freddie was the best front man ever they were just pure genius
@MrPatchesPal I think it was Murdoch's papers that hounded Freddie to his very last day Murdoch papers have no respect for anyone parasites I hope Rupert Murdoch's empire explodes and disappears just like the News of the Screws
I think the only time I've heard Deacy talk is during an interview when he was asked if he could meet any historical figure who would it be ("William Burroughs, so I could learn about the experience of drugs without actually having to take them") When they asked Freddie he said, with no pause, "Marie Antoinette". Asked what they would talk about he looked suprised, as if it was obvious. "Jewels!"
I cannot believe Freddie could be a smoker, and still belt out chords that are godly. Just imagine if he didn't smoke. They would have to return people's souls to their bodies. I'm a smoker and I sing, so I speak from experience. Knowing Freddie had that crutch and still amazed me.
hah..they sound so humble..but look at freddie closely.. he feels ' i will fucking own the show' and sure he did..that voice reached everyone at wembley!

The rest of the band were lucky they had Freddie Mercury as their Lead Singer and their PROTOGANIST of what was to become "Queen" the best Rock Band that I've ever experienced.. Freddie Mercury is incomparable...
Freddie was trying so hard not to blow that smoke in anyone's face. That & another habit had ultimately taken him from us leaving no WBC in his body to fight it. I feel like snatching the cig.
I still think Brian May is the best rock guitarists to ever walk the earth...what are the odds of him meeting up with the most powerful rock singer to ever walk the earth?
Thank you Oberon for posting all of Queen's set at Live Aid. I remember the day vividly and Queen stole the show. There was a sense, a feeling of the entire world uniting for a cause and that feeling was enhanced even more when Queen were playing. It's hard to describe, but that's the emotion they elicited that day. Thank you so much for the chance to relive it.
4:45 somebody said a mouthful...it's not about the extravagant backdrops "it's about if you can play or not! They should tell that to the pop stars that think they can sing, which is 100% of them.
@EllSieMovies This is just my opinion but I have to say a yes and no in reference to MJ getting a bad deal from the media. The US media loved the Jackson Five and also Michael. The US media started to turn against Michael when the surgeries started to happen and his strange behavior. A lot of it was of Michael's own doing.
Queen and Freddie got a bad deal from the US media from the very beginning and Queen never did anything that deserved the bad rap they got from the media.
Leave your opinions on sexuality for one moment and just listen to this man's amazing voice. Freddie was Godlike, he commanded the stage and the audience with pure authority. He was such a imposing figure, and at Live Aid, he and the rest of Queen showed why they were and still are the best rock band ever to grace the planet.
I fucking hate gay people but It's not like I'm out to kill them. I can live with them just don't like them BUT i'll take it in the poop shoot from Mr. Fantastic him self Freddie Mercury any time!
@co0LAide Why do you hate the people? I could see if you hate their sexual activities, but why would you hate the people? A person's sexual desires do not define the person.
I love vid 5/5 - shows behind a flawless world class performance is a hard working gigging band that doesn't leave a performance to their ego and reputation, but practice, practice, practice, work, work, work, so they all fuse into a sound machine that knows each others cues - and deliver perormances with AN END - thank you for bothering to COMPLETE each section. FAN-TAS-TIC. (May & Mercury?!?! what an odd pairing. How does THAT work?!!?!??.... (Solid back line bass/drums)
Farrokh Bulsara....the world is a darker place without you... glad I grew up in the 70's and had a chance to see Queen live..... ! Left my first concert a little in love with .Freddie a voice as close to perfect as you get a sexy,beautiful soul I will always miss his presence.,Brian May guitar master, Roger Taylor amazing drums and that falsetto! John Deacon great on the base and wrote some of Queens most memorible songs...4 brilliant men who were a perfect fit. Much thanks for the MUSIC!
OUT CLASSED are u joking ha ha queen were amazing fredddie more so and the shit they call music now in the english charts ha ha ha its not worth pissing on if it were all on fire its little LITTLE girlie music im embarrassed to call my self english since freddie died our music took a nose dive now its just puffy boy bands that dont play there own instruments and little girls wearing next to nothing sounding awfull the music now well its not music is it just a screached lol queen were wow AMAZING
@adidentable Hey,don't feel too bad music isn't doing any better over here in the States.At least you guys had Freddie.That can always make up for whatever crap you may have to take credit for now.
If you listen carefully to most of Queen's lyrics, Freddie seems to be telling the story of his life. "Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead" ...is he talking about getting AIDS here? "Momma, life had just begun, but now I've gone and blown it all away"...Freddie was more than a the average person...a God? Maybe!
@scottwin7 No, he's not talking about AIDS, until his later songs. He didn't contract the disease until the early to mid 80's, so any songs written before that would have been talking about other things. Of course, some of his later stuff was very much to do with his condition.
Such a shame that the medical profession didn't have the wherewithall to combat the disease in those days like they do now.
I think he was full of regret for the life he could have lived later on. Much the same as me.
@edmame What you said about Mack is corrrect but Mack also claims that Freddie was tired of the gay lifestyle. This is also around the time when Mary said that she and Freddie discussed having a baby. He said he would rather have another cat. Haha. Sadly by 1985 it was probably already too late for Freddie because some people think he already had HIV but didn't know it.
@edmame If Freddie were alive today I don't think he would care about any of the hoopla referring to gay issues. He lived his life privately and his few trusted friends said that it was never a topic. The only thing that mattered to him was his music.
And like some else posted, Freddie did command the stage like no other. His talent was all he cared about besides his family of course. :)
I love to watch Roger drumming. He's considered to be one of the world's most influential rock drummers; he plays numerous instruments and wrote four (or was it five?) of Queen's biggest hits. He's an amazing talent... of course, all of Queen were talented and brilliant. They had to be, to be able to stand on a stage with Freddie Mercury.
@tich302001 I was surprised to discover he was a smoker as well. He actually had polyps on his vocal chords. But he didn't get surgery, because he thought it would ruin his powerful voice. Same reason he never fixed his teeth.
i remember watching queen on live aid, and not being a queen fan i thought this is going to be a boring 20 mins or so, how wrong could i have been? they were easily the best band of the day by far and since that day i have become a massive fan of the band

4:45 somebody said a mouthful...it's not about the extravagant backdrops "it's about if you can play or not! They should tell that to the pop stars that think they can sing, which is 100% of them.

@EllSieMovies This is just my opinion but I have to say a yes and no in reference to MJ getting a bad deal from the media. The US media loved the Jackson Five and also Michael. The US media started to turn against Michael when the surgeries started to happen and his strange behavior. A lot of it was of Michael's own doing.
Queen and Freddie got a bad deal from the US media from the very beginning and Queen never did anything that deserved the bad rap they got from the media.

@EllSieMovies Freddie & Michael recorded three songs together around 1983.
1. State of Shock
2. There Must Be More To Live Than This
3. Victory
My understanding is that all three will get a wide release. Victory has never been released, not even on youtube.

Leave your opinions on sexuality for one moment and just listen to this man's amazing voice. Freddie was Godlike, he commanded the stage and the audience with pure authority. He was such a imposing figure, and at Live Aid, he and the rest of Queen showed why they were and still are the best rock band ever to grace the planet.

I love vid 5/5 - shows behind a flawless world class performance is a hard working gigging band that doesn't leave a performance to their ego and reputation, but practice, practice, practice, work, work, work, so they all fuse into a sound machine that knows each others cues - and deliver perormances with AN END - thank you for bothering to COMPLETE each section. FAN-TAS-TIC. (May & Mercury?!?! what an odd pairing. How does THAT work?!!?!??.... (Solid back line bass/drums)

Left my first concert a little in love with .Freddie a voice as close to perfect as you get a sexy,beautiful soul I will always miss his presence.,Brian May guitar master, Roger Taylor amazing drums and that falsetto! John Deacon great on the base and wrote some of Queens most memorible songs...4 brilliant men who were a perfect fit. Much thanks for the MUSIC!

According to some of the lame comments regarding AIDS and the Legendary Freddie Mercury...
Known Facts
AIDS is not restricted to homosexual activities
A person private life is his/her own...and there is no correlation between musical talents and an individual's sexual orientation
Females also have anal sex
Realistically despite a person sexual orientaton - I believe that I'm should not be judging that person based on their sexual orientation...

If you listen carefully to most of Queen's lyrics, Freddie seems to be telling the story of his life. "Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead" ...is he talking about getting AIDS here? "Momma, life had just begun, but now I've gone and blown it all away"...Freddie was more than a the average person...a God? Maybe!

theichorvile 9 months ago
@scottwin7 No, he's not talking about AIDS, until his later songs. He didn't contract the disease until the early to mid 80's, so any songs written before that would have been talking about other things. Of course, some of his later stuff was very much to do with his condition.
Such a shame that the medical profession didn't have the wherewithall to combat the disease in those days like they do now.
I think he was full of regret for the life he could have lived later on. Much the same as me.

@edmame What you said about Mack is corrrect but Mack also claims that Freddie was tired of the gay lifestyle. This is also around the time when Mary said that she and Freddie discussed having a baby. He said he would rather have another cat. Haha. Sadly by 1985 it was probably already too late for Freddie because some people think he already had HIV but didn't know it.

@edmame If Freddie were alive today I don't think he would care about any of the hoopla referring to gay issues. He lived his life privately and his few trusted friends said that it was never a topic. The only thing that mattered to him was his music.
And like some else posted, Freddie did command the stage like no other. His talent was all he cared about besides his family of course. :)

I love to watch Roger drumming. He's considered to be one of the world's most influential rock drummers; he plays numerous instruments and wrote four (or was it five?) of Queen's biggest hits. He's an amazing talent... of course, all of Queen were talented and brilliant. They had to be, to be able to stand on a stage with Freddie Mercury.

@tich302001 I was surprised to discover he was a smoker as well. He actually had polyps on his vocal chords. But he didn't get surgery, because he thought it would ruin his powerful voice. Same reason he never fixed his teeth.
