There wasn't/isn't a better live act than Queen. Thats why they were best.

have to add to that
as someone who saw them live five times
birmingham 24.11.1979, Milton Keynes 5.6.82, Birmingham 2.9.84, Wembley 13.7.86 and Knebworth 9.8.86 - there were NONE better live

and in my time i've seen some bands - AC/DC (x4), deep purple, scorpions, ufo, dire straits, bowie, elton john, inxs (x2), blue oyster cult, whitesnake (x3), rainbow, teardrop explodes (supporting queen at MK), status quo (x4), meatloaf (x2), and loads of others but as i said before none of em came close - because none had such talent coupled with a great frontman who could hold the audience in the palm of his hand

...and i wasn't slagging the u2/bowie performances - both were good on the day - but they both produces tow very long meandering numbers "bad" and "heroes" - i think - that missed the concept of the day - ie- the global jukebox

Absolutely fabulous, nothing less.

Queen were absolutely the best band of the day making all the others acts so boring in comparison and Live Aid was the highlight of their concerts during the 80's.
It prove to everyone they were/are the best live band and Freddie the best frontman in the world ever.
Freddie Mercury. A wonderful human being and simply the greatest singer,performer and composer of our times.

Queen were superb and Freddie was on top form.

Made me proud of them.

Also brought them to a new audience - even my gran said 'Your fella sang lovely'!
