Freddie at the end of live aid, never noticed before

All the others were jealous that Queen were the best on the day

I was fortunate to have attended Live Aid, I was also down at the front for the whole concert.Bono certainly messed up U2`s set by ending up taking too long to get someone out of the audience for him to give a false, caring hug for a woman from the audience, I was around 5 people back from the front, nobody got crushed at any part of the concert, you can see the panic In his face that he knows he Is taking too long to get someone/ anyone out of the audience,thats why he messed up the ending of their set by just walking off stage as the band played/ jammed on before their 18 minutes on stage was up.U2 also did not hit the people watching from the stands like Queen did,for U2 you can see on the dvd In shots of the audience that they are sat down, they are all on their feet when Queen performed.Regarding Do they know Its Xmas, when the song started, Freddie was on the side of the stage, too me, he must have thought to himself " What am I doing here on the side?, Ive been the fucking star of the show so I deserve to be In the middle" and thats what happened, Freddie dissapeared, worked his way behind the front singers to take up his deserved place centre stage!

To Kevin Hughes

I agree with everything you say there

It was funny that freddie was the other side of the piano and the next thing he was right next to Bono and he got his moment and he looked quite pleased with himself after that and rightly so as well

An Interview? Oh dont be ridiculous

Yeah Freddie started the song off stood next to the guys from Spandau ballet, he was friendly with Tony Hadley, who Is a Queen fan and who performed Jailhouse Rock with Queen just a few months before Live Aid when Queen played In New Zealand.

...arrrr no

I'm so glad you pointed out the above and I agree with you.  Yeah he deserved to be center stage and meanwhile Bono casts him a look like some interloper.  They should have given over the mic to Freddie - obviously the strongest singer - what a way that would have been to finish off the event.  I wonder if the principals involved don't look back at the same tape and sense a missed opportunity in that.

Still, at the end of the day, its Queen moment there that stand's out.

And for all those who say U2 were just starting out in which Queen had X amounts of years a head of them, why is it when U2 were at Live 8... They STILL didnt even come close to Queen's Live Aid gig.

It's difficult to make out but at around 6:30 you can see him mouthing "oh boy I'm going to look so great when I save this next life. I Maybe my face will be on the front of Time magazine".

Zebonka, did I ever mention you're a funny bastard? :L

Freddie nervous??  On stage???  Now THAT is funny.  :)

And Bono is a 110% asshole.

I thought Freddie looked quite pleased with himself in that bit, though I struggle to hear his voice at all.
