Queen Crew at Live Aid/Live Aid Anecdotes

^
From all of us, 'thank you' for posting pix that some (most/all) of us have never seen before.

Could you be so kind and write a description for each one, listing the people in the individual pictures? I recognize some, but not all of them.

Thanks in advance.

Some really good pics here - several I hadn't seen, and so good in quality as well.

It's quite amazing how small Freddie looks in some of the pictures - when on stage he looked so huge.

/ My dear, Freddie was a GIANT on stage!

A nice anecdote is that Queen's soundman Trip Khalaf sneakily set the limiters so they were much louder than anybody else. They literally blew everybody away!

That's one version of the anecdote, another one is recalled by Peter Hince in Days of Our Lives docu, where he states that Queen's music engineers basically threw out the local crew and said "Queen will be loud".

Dunno... The Who literally blew a fuse and took the whole show down from the eyes of the world.

Thanks to those who provided the pix, and planetgurl for the responses. I should have asked my wife first, since she recognized all except for Julie Nash.

Wish I had some unique story to tell about it. I was simply watching from across the pond, listening through the stereo on a simulcast. And like any American Queen fans, cussing at MTV at the end as they showed the veejays talking about 'something' at JFK, while the viewers could see and hear the band still performing on the stadium viewscreens in the background....until they FINALLY switched back to the London feed.

Looking forward to the end result of this project.
