And the fact that so many people dont know this, is an insult to Queens legacy. It is like one of them songs, that you need to know who wrote it. And to know the original. There are a few other Queen songs that you just need to know. No cover song can match an original queen.

When Freddie says "I thank you all" I say We Thank You Freddie. Forever. You fucking legend. GOAT

@@MorenikejiTaiwo The day England was ruled by a different Queen.

The biggest thing with Queen was that the audience didn't just watch them perform, they felt that they were part of the show themselves. Queen always wanted to include the fans and they certainly did to the delight of the fans.

Live Aid and Queen ‘s performance there was legendary. The whole world was watching it on tv. And still remembers it today,

First time I saw Queen live, I was in tears. The entire stadium was in tears. I imagine if social media was around then. They would’ve crashed social media. It is nothing like ever seen. Pure God like. RIP.

I remember watching this live as a boy. I was bored and not interested at the time, but my mom insisted. She told me it was a once in lifetime event so I sat through the whole live aid concert just to humour her and it was an ordeal for me. Well here we are now and I can proudly say I witnessed one of the greatest live performances of all time and I'm so glad for my mom. Parents do know best.

The greatest 20 minutes in Rock & Roll history.

this is the best 20 minutes of music ever captured on film! big love to all people :)

This was the best performance that whole day love Queen

Queen was always so special, it's was not Freddie Mercury and three other guys, oh no all four were artists that knew what they are doing, they all were an important part of the band and the music. They all wrote number one hits, hits for the people, for the audience. The performance was a kind of comeback for the band Queen, a revival and it totally worked, because it was one of the best live performances ever in music history and they had only a very specific time at this concert. There's a reason for so many clicks and reactions on KZread. So thank you, that was really cool and nice. 👏👏 Happy New Year 🥂

The legend that is Brian May is I think best illustrated by the notion "Hm, I'm a rock legend, wrote number one songs, I can live off my interest rates, can make shows when I want where I want, but somehow, I think there should be more. You know what, that PhD in astrophysics I started ages ago - I think it's time to finish that!"

That afternoon Freddie was king of the world. Music ruled the world , and wasn't it f**ckin brilliant !

I watched Live Aid for one reason....to see Queen. It was surreal, even on television. (R.I.P.) Freddie Mercury such a beautiful soul.

No other performer like him in the world! Losing him was a great loss to music. RIP Freddy 😔

Yes, unfortunately the appearance was too short. All artists had a fixed time for their performance. Queen had rented a concert hall in London and rehearsed the gig for Liveaid. They were the only ones who rehearsed their appearance down to the smallest detail. So it was the best gig on Liveaid. R. I. P. Freddie

Actually they ended their time slot to within a second. If you look carefully at the three 'traffic lights' at the front of the stage, the red light flashes when they are down to their last minute. You can see it turn solid red (end of allotted time) one second after Queen finish their performance.

One of the things I love about this performance, is whenever Brian is up for a solo, Freddie is either hyping him up, letting him take centre stage or pulling the crowd into the performance and it's magical to see.

It's interesting that the guitar player is much more than a musician. He's actually a very highly educated astrophysicist.

I remember having this event playing on the TV all day. I was watching some sets all along, and for others it was more like listening to it through the radio in the background while I tended to this & that, in and out of the room the TV was in, still engaged, but often passively. But not when this began. I liked Queen, but I hadn't been waiting for them in particular to come on stage. Even so, I was watching when they were announced, so I knew I was going to stick around and actually watch their set. I had no idea what I was about to experience. I didn't just watch it; I laughed it, cried it, threw my arms in the air and cheered it, completely surrendered to it. I did the stomps. I did the claps. I did them from my living room, but I did them right with Wembley and the world. Twenty or so minutes later, I knew I had just witnessed something legendary. As great as the event was and so many of the artists were, to my heart and mind it got logged as the Queen show with the greatest list of opening acts ever.

The smile on your face for We will rock you and We are the Champions....just precious...keep it that way x

Freddie had 90,000 people in the crowd and a over a billion people around the world watching in the palm of his hand. Freddie made it memorable for us at home as well❤Just subbed.Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦

IMHO, the greatest front man and showman in Rock and Roll history. Freddie Mercury could draw in an audience with just the wave of a hand. He was a true joy to witness in concert.

What you must remember......they were told 18 MINUTES. That is it. Many bands were playing that day. And from first note to last note they literally were mere SECONDS over. It was an incredible performance. Speechless, is right.

1985 was a tough year for me. I lost two family members. This video was a good reminder of how much music helped me get through that period of my life.

I grew up with queen. I never watched them live, although I always liked their music. Now that Freddie is gone, I never realised how much I appreciated his talent. He hasn’t been replaced all these years later. It’s funny how we need to lose something to see what we really had, I think he really was one of a kind, I’m happy now but I miss the early 1980s and the community spirit we had back then

I love your reaction to this amazing concert! Their music is so iconic, and they ruled the world with their performance in that internationally broadcast concert that day

We’re all gonna die one day but we lived and saw Queen and Freddie Mercury blast their way into the stratosphere for all of us. We shall not die in vain.

Live aid went live all around the world and it was a massive event on TV though the world just stopped and took a break with queen on stage.i still remember it,it was magical!❤️

Thank you for the reaction! Beatiful Mercury

Your genuine love and enthusiasm makes the whole reaction a fantastic time.Thank you

Don't know how I got here but found myself watching and crying along with you. What a performance and brought back memories.

90 plus thousand people in harmony, its a kind of magic

I remember watching it in Canada on tv. Was such a special moment knowing Freddie was owning the stage, and the crowd.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why queen are the greatest rock group of all time

A happy girl 😃 Nice! Freddie one of the greatest ever. Queen my old heroes.

Lots of great live performances that day. But, Queen stole the show!

Young lady....you are beautiful inside and outside! God bless.

When you hear of this guy for the first time. And see his stage presence, you know he's going to the top ! With a name like Freddy Mercury for sure.

Have a listen to Bohemian Rhapsody at the Green day concert in Hyde Park. You realise the depth of Freddie and Queens influence upon the planet. Freddie is the greatest ever.

The name if the song was Is This the World We Created. You would think it was written for this but it was on a previous album. They played at about 9 o'clock. Absolutely stunning.

Your face is so pleasant to look at, I watched almost of their videos in diff channels, I'm not tired of it, I miss Queen so much, watching over and over again, live versions are more exciting than the studio version, lots of surprises, I tell you, thank you so much for the great reactions,

Despite a transatlantic line-up laden with pop talent from over two decades, the buzz quickly went around that Queen were stealing Live Aid. The day itself was plagued with technical issues, from The Who taking out an important signal light at the front of the stage to Paul McCartney being rendered inaudible on 'Let it be', but it all came together for this moment. With the exception of 'Hammer to Fall' the setlist is a bundle of crowd-pleasing singles that can still be heard in sports venues today and led to a bit of a resurgence in their popularity in the late 1980s. And for Freddie it was going to be one final, productive push. He can never be replaced.

Seriously, was this really 37 years ago. 😲 I remember this like it was yesterday. Freddie RIP you legend 🎼🎶

He is the epitome of humble. A BEAUTIFUL man to behold...On the outside, he is loved for his looks and fame...On the inside, his heart and compassion compare to no other. His beauty cannot be mimicked or stolen. He doesn't even know the legend that he is- that's what makes him extraordinary

Just love your reaction to this performance just a joyful experience watching this again

I have never found anyone else that had such a perfect voice…..live performance…..we lost such a beautiful, gifted soul…we will always remember and miss you Freddie Mercury…RIP

22 mins that changed the world
