@Luke Mills just be great full, if it wasn’t for Lambert we wouldn’t have Queen as a band anymore. I like him, but he just doesn’t seem to be a rock guy. Don’t take it away from Adam he’s a good singer, but no matter who you bring into Queen, don’t dare compare them to Freddie because we know who wins. It’s Freddie always and it’s so hard to compare the 2. Adam is definitely a more pop-ish kind of guy. I think they need Marc Martel if they want the same king of singing, but if we want the same stage performances we need Lambert. If I had to pick, I’d pick Marc Martel but yet again, don’t compare anyone to Freddie because it’s not fair to the singer and whoever sings for Queen will never EVER be nowhere as good as Freddie.

Thank you so much for doing this whole QUEEN performance. They put their hearts and soul in this concert. QUEEN stole the show. The most memorable performance of all time even to this day. "QUEEN FOREVER"

They played short versions because every band on the day only had a short time slot. Around 20 minutes only. Lots of bands played only 2 or 3 songs, Queen understood and got more songs in by only playing a bit. That was one of the reasons they were so good that day, that and the quality of their music and performance. I remember the day like it was yesterday, was it really 36 years ago......

I bought my 1st VCR the day before specifically to record the entire 24 hour performance. I bought the DVD many years later, so I have literally enjoyed this performance 100s of times, and for the last 20 years, I celebrate the anniversary by watching again every July 13 at the same time of day as their performance. Yours was the most joyful reaction to Queen/Live Aid that I've seen, and I knew it was going to be fantastic to share in your experience! Makes me feel like it's 1985 watching it LIVE all over again! Love how you guys keep it real! And I don't care what Wikipedia says, there just HAD to be 200,000 people there. Doesn't Wembley Stadium seat 80-100,000?

As others have said. I remember this day. My husband had to work but I was in front of the TV most of the day. Each performer/band had 20 min. If they went over microphones were cut off. Queen wanted to give the audience all they had even if they had to shorten songs a bit. Imagine. Almost two billion people saw this live around the world!

I remember sitting up all night in Australia watching this was amazing concert. Thank you for this reaction . Freddy will live on for ever.

Queen came back that night and did one song in the evening with just Brian and freddie. It was stunningly beautiful.

You should definitely check out 'Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park 2017]'

I totally agree, a very moving example of how Queens music was taken to the heart of many people and a more wonderful tribute to the late Freddie I couldn’t imagine, a must watch for sure.

Brazil, Rock in Rio, 1985, Love of my life. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏💚💛🇧🇷

That third song is called “Hammer To Fall” it’s one of my favorites for sure, and the reason they did “We Will Rock You” so fast is because they only had 20 minutes to play

This was the day that every band in music opened for Queen. Best 20 minutes in ALL music history

Because there were many other bands performing there that day to benefit Live Aid donations, every band was limited to performing 20 minutes. That's why some of their songs were cut short...... so they could play several of them. So many hits. Glad you enjoyed this. They were a fantastic band. Miss Freddie. Thanks for reacting to it.

This wasn’t a Queen Concern. It was a concert for charity to raise money for Africa, it went on for hours ........ lots of popular Artists took part ... but QUEEN stole the show!,, amazing,,, x

8:54 Freddie's interaction withe the camera man. Absolutely carasmatic and so much fun.

Can you imagine the adrenaline from that crowd. It's crazy how he connected with his fans. He was born for this.

Fantastic reaction love your faces when watching Queen / Freddie 👍❤️

All the more remarkable as Freddie was sick and told not to perform and that was NOT a "Queen" crowd but they were one of 24 (?) Acts that performed that day but, as you saw, they stole the show :)

Hello, My Friend. It was a One Day Concert For Live Aid For Africa twinned with a Philadelphia equivalent. 24 (?) Groups played that day. I understand why you say that but watch another 60,000 Londoners (many of them not alive in 1975 when this song was released) in Hyde Park at a GREEN DAY Concert all sing it before Green Day took the stage. Please put in " Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody (Live in Hyde Park 2017) and you will witness a more modern example. Enjoy and tell me what you think,please.

So glad we lived through those great music days. My husband was in that audience. We are in our 60s now. Great times

Freddie was and still is the greatest showman he had that crowd eating out of his hand from the get go a tragic loss R.I.P to one of our greatest performers 💜💜💜💜💜

I will NEVER get tired of watching this set!

I will never forget watching Live Aid on the day 13 July 1985 on TV - I was probably in front of the box most of the day! It was all over the news of course and we just couldn't wait for the concert - we were so excited! I remember Status Quo starting the whole thing off with Rocking All Over The World and then it just took off. Queen's performance was certainly the star turn and I remember we all talked about it in the office on the Monday. Freddie Mercury was incredible - you just couldn't take your eyes off him and of course as you can see the crowd just went mad. I will never forget that performance and it's so good to be able to watch it again on KZread. Thanks so much for reacting to this guys - I can certainly understand that you would have wanted to be there!

And these many decades later when I also saw Status Quo's opening "Rockin' All Over The World, I had a twinge of sadness for them cause SQ were fabulous! Then I saw Status Quo interviewed and they piled praise onto Queen, acknowledged Queen was the best of all no matter how great many others were.

There will never be another Freddie Mercury. There will never be another band as phenomenal as Queen.

Amazing reaction to an AMAZING performance! Freddie was something else!! Such an incredible talent and bravery to create and live life on his own terms.

Hey guys great great great reaction. Just to make you very jealous "I WAS THERE AT THAT CONCERT IN THE CROWD". I was 16 at the time and it was the first time I had heard Queen live, I've been a fan ever since and I'm now 51. After Queen had finished the rest of the acts were VERY flat indeed.

I saw Queen 6 times from 1978 to 1983..... and I saw this performance on my TV at home!! They always performed a great great show!! Thank you for reacting to this!

I’m sure you know by now, but the song you were interested in was ‘Hammer to fall’. It’s so refreshing to see young people finding, engaging in and enjoying this. Queen were Amazing live.

Your jaws hit the ground when he started his singing echo with the crowd, this became a routine since the late 70s so they knew what they had to do.

A throat infection, vocal cord polyps and fighting laryngitis. He is a Titan!!!! There will never be another like him!

Please remember the audience were not necessarily Queen fans so their reaction and participation is the much more remarkable!

The sound quality here is not to be believed. It's all there, every note in the depth and purity it deserves.

Incredible! Sitting here with tears in my eyes missing Freddie!

Love that you noticed Roger's backing vocals. All 4 were killing it that day. Brian's guitar was spectacular. Freddie was selling those songs like only he can. To go out there to that crowd and do Ay-O and completely command them is unbelievable. They rehearsed for a week with clocks. They had 20 minutes and if you went over they would cut the power. If you notice at the end of Champions when Freddie brings down his hand the light goes red at the front of the stage. It was timed perfectly. Great reaction even though you forgot you were reacting! Lol.

Got to give Roger a lot of credit for their 'to the second' performance. He kept the tempo of every song perfectly over a 20 minute set to allow them to finish on the second. Not many drummers can do that for the duration of just 1 song.

I saw Queen performing 3 times in Vorst Nationaal in Brussels late seventies and eightees, and I'm convinced there will never be a band that will perform like Queen did.

Freddie Mercury and Queen literally stole the show from the other bands who preformed that day. Queen blew the no-existant roof off of that stadium! Phenomenal concert!! Love Queen!!!
