I was approximately 4 months into my foetal stage in the womb - so unfortunately, and for obvious reasons, did not get to see it, but this is Queen, one of the greatest rock bands of ALL TIME, at the height of their powers. I've read that this performance has since been voted by more than 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives as the greatest live performance in the history of rock music.
Below is a quote I found regarding about performance. Not sure who said it:
Every band should study Queen at Live Aid. If you really feel like that barrier is gone, you become Freddie Mercury. I consider him the greatest frontman of all time. Like, it's funny? you'd imagine that Freddie was more than human, but ... You know how he controlled Wembley Stadium at Live Aid in 1985? He stood up there and did his vocal warm ups with the audience. Something that intimate, where they realize, 'Oh yeah, he's just a fucking dude.
If you are a fan of music, I'm guessing you've most probably seen it - play it again, Freddie.
