^ What do you mean? Obviously it's the same song, they just did it twice for whatever reason. It's definitely the same camera, they just did two performances and the official rehearsal video of Radio Gaga included in the Montreal+Live Aid DVD is an edit of both of these performances. It seems like this was the order they played it - Radio Gaga, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Gaga again.

Maybe they first did GaGa like "the last rehearsal, checking that we do all right, before mixing it with Bo Rhap".

And then, they played Bo Rhap (ballad section), to merge it with Radio GaGa.

Well they rehearsed for a week or so. Of course they performed each song many, many times. BTW I see Sikke "released" this already, did he also upload the full interview?

Thank you very much!

Excellent footage. Another crowd pleasing decision by QPL not to release the full thing on Rock Montreal release. They're so clueless.

If Chief Mouse was on QP's payroll - imagine how great the releases could be :)

^ What more, I could afford a decent computer for this kind of work :-) Mine is pretty much stuck in 2008.

Thank you Chief and Sikke !
I haven't had enough of Live Aid yet, no matter how many times I watched them.
Seeing the rehearsal in almost complete version is such a joy.
Precious footage, and a very professional edit ^^

Thank you very much!!

Chief - thanks for this !

Is the interview portion out there too in digital land? I'm pretty sure I have it on a VHS somewhere.

Thanks.

Thank you. This footage is magical.
It just doesn´t get better than this - Queen reharsing for Live AID.
