Just wonderful 20 minutes in Queen history. Maybe the best performance since Freddie cut his hair

Might wanna subtract about 8 seconds of Brian's screw up at the end of Hammer To Fall.
Everyone else in the entire world was watching Freddie's cue... except Brian.

I seem to remember it was Rodger who made the faux-pas (maybe I'm wrong)

Whoah, 24 years? Let me get ut my reading glasses...
This was the first time I saw Queen perform live - even though it was on TV. It was magnificent. They were great, and Freddie proved to be the brightest star on a stage of stars. Incredible.
Thanks for the memories!

Come on, do you think there exists at least one show without one tiny mistake? Who cares about few seconds? The whole spirit of the event is more important. I think it even proves that show is really "live"

Was it so differently great compared to any other Queen show?
No, I think it was the way they compleletely took control of the Wembley crowd unlike any of the other starts could do, that made this performance as memorable as it has become.
All the other artists worked up a sweat trying to get the crowd sing the obvious choruses in their songs, and most were only moderately successful. But it seemed as if the whole crowd started singing the first verse of Borhap , with out much prodding even. Their performance was electric.
B.T.W the only other performances that I really liked on the day were Dire Straits and Bryan Adams.
IMO U2/Bono sucked with his show-off performance, Elton John, George Michael and David Bowie were so boring.
Oh, and there's a moment during the Wembley finale towards the end when Paul Mccartney, our Freddie and Bono are standing next to each other, with hands over each other's shoulders and screaming. Thats like the past, present and future of rock n roll together.

Oh, really? Honestly I don't know about any of them. Ok then- thanks for information. But it makes me think about other question: if there are perfect shows, why then some other (with mistakes) are more famous? Hmm, I don't know- injustice? Is there something more important than perfection? Oh, I guess I'm slipping into philosophy...
But, what I wanted to say- I like their performance on Live Aid. Maybe it even was not the best, but it was very good. And the reaction of the audience (not their audience) was astounding. But you know all the story...

Queen rocked their socks.
The Beach Boys were great as well, though I think Brian Wilson could of had more lead vocals in the songs, he looked happy at least.

Ah yes, that last one would be the legendary Cape Cod Melody Tent gig. The Melody Tent is really the jewel in the crown of venues, right up there with a "Live at Budokan" or Madison Square Garden gig. Definitely an eleven.
