What do you think of the Queen performance at Live Aid?

As we know, Live Aid was on 13 July 1985. And my birth was on 14 July 1998, but it doesn't matter (to you). The storming of the Bastille was on 14 July 1789. Anyway, what do you think of the Queen performance at Live Aid.
Oh, please read where it's written: "be gentle, I'm a newbie"
And... sorry for my English, I'm still learning and I hope you guys understand what I wrote.
Have a nice day!

"The greatest twenty minutes in the history of rock and roll"
"The? day when the Earth stood still for Freddie"
"The best live rock performance ever"
"Live Aid was watched by more than a billion of people worldwide; in 17 minutes Queen gave probably the most impressive performance of their existence":)

i'd like to say that queen at live aid was a great moment in a very good day. as someone who remembers it all vididly and saw it from the wembley opening right thru to the end of the philly gig, i loved the whole day. queen were one of many highlights.

but @croatiafan: really? you really do think this? then you need to get out more!!!

let's deal with your comments individually:

"The greatest twenty minutes in the history of rock and roll"
come on, you're not going to let "dark side of the moon", beatles on ed sullivan, bob dylan going electric, woodstock, pistols and bill grundy, mtv airing for the first time...get in the way of your weird perspective are you?

"The? day when the Earth stood still for Freddie"
no. the "day the earth stood still" in rock n roll parlance would put, buddy holly's death, john lennon's death, elvis' death, kurt cobain's death and EVEN freddie's death above live aid as "stood still moments"

"The best live rock performance ever"
no. the best live performance at live aid, maybe. but on 4 of the five times i saw queen live they were better than live aid. that 18 mins at live aid was good. and in the sphere of live aid it was incredible, but in reality it wasn't anywhere near "the greatest live rock performance ever"...i have seen many gigs from 79 to date and i speak from experience when i say that some of these were MUCH better than quene at live aid. and that's not including the gigs i haven't attended that definitely sound better than queen at live aid....the who at leeds, the lizzy gig at philly (unedited), purple california jam, knebworth, elton and bowie at the NEC in the early 80s,

Jesus Christ!

Very good, but over-rated.

Queen gave 50+ better performances throughout their history. At least.

It's great. Love it.

Look Fred wasn't the messiah, he was a very naughty boy.

As are Brian, John and Roger: both Dr Wig and his Blond Sidekick have committed adultery, and Duke Ostrich was found eyeing strippers. Is that what Jesus Christ taught them?

Maybe Buddy Jesus had a word.

LOL@brENsKi with a bit of an eye roll with it.

They were the best band by light years that day, one of the few who were professional and had their shit together. I say them in the 70s at least twice where IMHO they were better due to the fact they were a rock band in the 70s and much rawer live. Having said that, they destroyed the place in front of a non-Queen audience. May not have been their best performance, but the fact that they won over so many people who may not have been fans/hated them is a testament to Adam Lambert's genius. Sorry, Freddie' s :)

I'd argue that it was one of Freddie's best day's vocally...especially because he never performed as well live 2 years either side of that day.

Queen were the champions of the world that day.

The performance was so slick it was incredible. They had obviously nailed everything down to a T. My favourite bit is Freddie's face when he does his crowd improv and everyone in the stadium sings back. His face is a picture.

Its a great performance and you can never tire of watching it
