This was the greatest live performance of all time. Everything here are off the charts. Roger Taylor's drumming was second to none. John Deacon was stellar playing the bass guitar.

That's true. A common rejoinder nowadays is that if we'd have had smartphones back then, people would have been doing the same thing, but that misses the point. Of course we would if it had developed at the same pace and we'd become accustomed to using them all the time, because we are the same creatures now as we always have been, but the point is that the technology has changed our behaviour and we don't really experience these events properly anymore, the technology tempts us into distraction. Much as the internet dilutes our normal human behaviour and can bring out the worst in us. We are tempted to use these technologies and often get some sort of satisfaction or even tangible benefits from doing so, but it comes at a cost. I definitely think that aspects of life such as experiencing a live, communal event are better without smartphones and cameras.

My aunt is a lesbian and dealt with a lot of the BS in the '80s so she was a huge queen fan and other artists that were coming out back then! As I watch it today it brings back a lot of memories. This man was probably one of the most talented singers to ever walk the face of Earth. These kids today do not know what a real live performance is. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan but you can take Taylor Swift and every single pop music star today and put them together and they still would not equal the talent of Freddie Mercury! The man had a voice of gods! He was an entertainer He knew how to get the crowd going. Love how he blows kisses at the audience and he knows that he's good You can see his pride in his work. There's no voice clean up. No pre-recorded background music. This is straight talent. This is when singers were actual artists and they sounded better live. There will never be another live performance like this. There will never be another Freddie Mercury.

My god Freddie had some charisma. The entire audience held in the palm of his hand from the time he stepped on stage to the time he left. I remember watching it and there was no other act that came close to Queen that day. Sheer utter pop genius. All these years later and I still miss him, the consummate showman..

The way that Freddie Mercury commanded not only that stage, but the 72,000 people in attendance at Wembley, another 89,000 in attendance at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, and 1.9 “BILLION” live viewers (NEARLY 40% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION) that evening will “NEVER” be duplicated. It was/is still considered by the majority of artist, and the majority of music fans to be the best live performance by a band ever in the history of music. Most importantly this event really put world hunger on the map for much of the world. Unfortunately to this day children and people still starve to death while we live in a world of abundance.

The following year, 1986 they released the album “A Kinda Magic” and toured the album in what was their final round of concerts. Was called the “Magic tour”. I think these concerts were only in Europe. Managed to see them in Slane, Ireland that year. Was magical like their album!!

Its 2024 and this is still the BEST live performance in rock history. ABSOLUTELY OFF THE CHARTS!😭😮‍💨

This was the best live performance of all time, but I have to give David Bowie a lot of credit for showing up unrehearsed and having to perform live on stage immediately after Queen. Who would want to have to follow Queen after this? But David Bowie put on a great show and kept the crowd happy.

Not to mention “heroes” is one of the greatest rock songs ever. His quick to go temp band did a great job after Queen set, but check out Bowie “Hero” concert with his killer band , 230 million views on utube. Its unbelievable!

I know lots of people have already wrote this, but it doesn’t matter. This performance must surely go down as the greatest live performance by any musician(s), EVER. Pure genius, total mastery, ultra-talented musicians.

Definitely not..there is much better this...think PRINCE, Bono from U2 and quite a few others

It’s so impressive. Every move he makes is in perfectly sync with the music and the audience. This is what music should be

Kids… this is called TALENT and PLAYING LIVE which is something many “artists” of this latest generation know nothing about.

Dude, children can play most Queen songs without much issue. The only special thing here was Freddie, who was an anomaly as a performer even back during this bands prime.

It's been almost 39 years since this day and it is still a very vivid memory for me one of my life highlights the excitement level went up to 12 when Queen performed that day/night without a doubt they were the best there that day no one can ever take that away from them this performance has gone in history as one of the best ever

Really, who could ever own a stage like Freddie did. Magic!

God I'd give anything to go back in time just to see this performance in person, I'm so jealous of EVERYONE in this stadium 😭

Seeing this definitely brings tears to my eyes. Freddie was such an amazing performer. He really lived his life, and gave his soul as a performer to inspire and awe all that witnessed Queen's greatness.

That's playing with your heart and soul. He was in charge and everyone could feel it.

I rewatch this performance like once or twice a month, and I always tear up at how as soon as he starts playing, everyone sings with him, Freddie really was and is a god among men

Every time I watch this concert I'm simultaneously so happy because of how amazingly awesome it is and so, so sad that we're never gonna get another one like it

I can see it over and over again. Four magnificent musicians who gave everything on stage that day ❤. Everyone at the Wembley Stadium were singing and clapping amazing performance from QUEEN, the best live rock band ever ❣️

He can still reach an audience in 2023. Timeless baby.

I didn’t know him in my young life ,but I absolutely love him now, I’m 74 now ,you can’t believe the pleasure he’s given me. ❤️

This has got to be the single best performance ever. 20 mins only. It just gives me shivers every time.

This performance still gives me chills to this day. RIP Freddie ❤

Phenomenal. I wish I could have witnessed this first hand in my lifetime. Love you Freddie

It's so hard to describe the pain of being born weeks before he passed and growing up idolising a person you'll never get to see perform live. I'm so grateful to Queen but I wish I'd been able to see them when Freddie was still here.

I was 9 watching this on TV. I remember being overwhelmed at how all those people were singing along. It's like they were part of the band too. I'll never forget how good that made me feel even now at 47 yrs old. What a great performance this was.

Still gives Goosebumps in 2024 Real Legends❤

Freddy is not dead, he lives in our hearts and sings all his songs and when my time comes I'll see him again, Friends Will Be Friends...

Queen was Live Aid. I've watched this many times, and one time, I ended up watching the cameramen trying to keep up with Freddie! 😅🤣😅

Queen and Freddie will never die.

Not just the singing, but the moves aswell. Oozed charisma

I watched this as a teenager back in the 1980s and this performance by Queen has always stuck in my memory as being mind blowing. some 40 years later it still is. Such a shame wonderful artists left us too soon.

I love how everyone present nailed every bit. The vocals, the solos, the drums, the audience, all of it.

You could tell it was shot in the higher ranges by then. And they picked such a hard way to finish 😂

I remember watching this on the day, I had seen them live in 1977 too, but this was not just a gig but This is a Masterclass performing and not many bands could rise to such a huge occasion but they had the talent and songs to do it.

This is the best show in the world of all time. with just 20 minutes of composition and just 4 musicians.

Simply stated it is probably the greatest performance by a rock band in it's prime! Freddie Mercury's performance is nothing short of perfection! Theatrical, entertaining, looking amazing and a voice of the gods! He was exceptional! His masterpiece performance! The one and only GREAT Freddie Mercury!
