@Gregsynthbootlegs The only complaint I have about Freddie's live performances is that he normally doesn't go for the really high notes. I suppose most performers lower high notes, but it definitely would've been awesome to see him go for the high notes more.
He had a throat infection and still goes out to play. Justin Bieber has a cold or something and thinks about not going to one of his concerts. Nuff said.
I watched a documentary saying he performed this against doctors wishes b/c he had something wrong with his throat at the time...and that was ELECTRIC and an amazing performance...and he wasnt even at full health. he was/is amazing.
Seriously someone really clicked the dislike button on this, how is that humanly possible, this is what we no longer have in music, I was a young child when FM & Queen were at the top but my friends & I love them & think the current music industry sucks shit with all the rap crap & artists who CANNOT sing live to save their lives, this is EPIC!
I watched the concert of the telly at home & certainly enjoyed it from the start, with Status Quo kicking off with "Rocking all over the World". Everybody was having a good time listening to the various bands - some better than others, then Dire Straits went off after performing & after a couple of min's Freddie & the band came bouncing out onto the stage & the place just exploded - history was in the making!!
David Bowie was next out, he put on a fair performance but not in the same league!!
Don't forget, this is one of many videos of that day, and there are millions of views for Live Aid that are on Youtube. Just search Queen Live Aid 1985 and you'll see how huge this day really was in Rock History.
I loveeee fredie Mercuri...for me he was from other dimention,he was simply the best!!!, amazing performance, i miss that kind of bands..i miss Queen!! ,they are the Champions and allways be!!
iconic man and group like this at such a monumental performance viewed by millions of the day in 1985 yet this video only has 123,511 views i bet more people listened live in and outside the iconic wemblet stadium that day
I was 3 years old when this was broadcasting and man I wish I was older because I would have loved to have seen him live. What a show it must have been...
51 seconds no other man then Freddie Mercury could manipulate a crowd on that scale. Beyond describle the achievment to have all those people on ther feet to a song written from pen and papper.
Seems that all talented and or good people die young.. Strange enough I never was into Queen. I started appreciate them the last let's say 5 years, realizing how damn talented they were (and not only Freddy Mercury)
...just to reply about the aforementioned "Freddie haters"- there are PLENTY- I live in the bible belt, dude- haters of all kinds down here. I actually had a former bandmate single Freddie out specifically. Whatever. Freddie rules, and that's all there is to it.
@balutanski - Simple Minds, on the big screen from Philadelphia (I think that's where the US gig was). Perhaps they didn't see what they were up against. Perhaps that was a good thing!
@stanphoenix man did Queen pull out everything for this song, amazing considering the lack of preparation they were alloted, this is why they are the greatest band of all time, many other bands were not great at Live Aid
R.I.P The greatest singer that ever showed his face on earth!
