Queen Crew at Live Aid/Live Aid Anecdotes

Hey all! Working on a project about Queen at Live Aid and wanted to cull some information from the hive mind. Any out-of-the-ordinary information/photos/links you can send me would be useful.

- We know from photos that of the Queen crew, Peter Hince, Trip, Chris Taylor, and Spike were present backstage for the event. From the band members' personal lives, Peter Freestone, Jim Hutton, and Dominique Taylor were there too. Anyone else I'm missing? Mary Austin, or any of Freddie's gang of lads? Brian and John's families? Who am I failing to identify in these photos?

- We know Freddie's parents watched at home. For those of the gang who weren't there in person, are there any interviews/anecdotes about where they watched the performance?

- There aren't a lot of photos available of Queen backstage. We know Freddie had encounters with Elton John, David Bowie, and famously Bono, Midge Ure, and Rick Parfitt, and supposedly shoved his tongue down the throat of a photographer. Are there any other lesser-known anecdotes about Queen or Freddie backstage in print/audio/video interview? I see Adam Ant in a photo up there.

- Brian and Roger and Chris (but not John and Freddie?) sat with Geldof and Bowie behind Charles and Diana, and are in almost all photo ops of the royal pair at the event. Have Brian and Roger talked about this in any interviews that are available? Where were John and Freddie?

- Are they waiting to get their photos taken? What's going on here?

Ambitious !!

I can't help you with any of these specific inquiries, but I wish you the best of luck in putting the pieces together.

Joe Fannelli is standing behind Adam Ant in your attachment (with hands folded) and opposite Adam is Mark Ellen who was a writer on Smash Hits (also launched Q and Mojo magazines) but who was one of the TV presenters on the day (he was also one of the later presenters on the Beeb's Whistle test after Bob Harris left). In the photo which shows a line up of the artists, they are waiting to meet Diana and Charles. The woman in the red dress is a close friend of mine - so great to see that!

The photos of Fred and Elton and Fred/Elton/Wayne Sleep were taken backstage on the '86 tour...
