35 years later, anyone watching this still feels the energy. RIP Freddie

There were three reasons why this set by Queen was the most successful at Live Aid. First, they had rehearsed for weeks before, nailing down the songs and timing for the twenty minute set. Most other bands in the show didn't even bother to rehearse. Second, Queen was used to playing in massive stadiums and have been quoted as saying they felt more comfortable the bigger the crowd. Third, they had Freddie Mercury, the best front man in rock history, who loved to play with the crowd and make them feel part of the show.

Still listening in 2024. This will never get old. Amazing!

This is how many people miss Freddie Mercury

[mateoaponte]

Keep in mind, he head a throat infection at this, and still did an amazing performance, despite being told not to perform by a doctor

[pbtdl]

Freddie: “This song is only dedicated to all you beautiful people”
Me: oh ok 😔
Freddie: “That means all of you”
Me: 🤠yay

The only singer that sounds just like he's in the studio as he plays live.

[mlschirado]

You know you’re raising your kids right when you say “Ready Freddie” and they start singing this song 😊

[SSQMinky]

This song goes out to all the beautiful people, he said.

Well, darling, that includes all of us watching years later online!

That slow zoom out to the whole stadium clapping in time at 3:10 is just pure perfection.

[marcosbarreto]

Brian May, John Deacon, Roger taylor and Freddie Mercury made a really good music, it is a shame that Freddie passed away so young rest in peace Freddie we still miss you.

[barbarat]

I remember he thought he sounded like Elvis on this song; he was a HUGE Elvis fan!!

[sofraYT]

1:10 Best Elvis imitation I've heard

[danherman]

0:21 - Brian looking at Freddie playing guitar, like a eagle who travelled 500 miles watching a pigeon flying for the first time. His face is so cute.

[ornellabarbaro]

Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Elvis. Wonderful 💋.

Roger's "Ready Freddie" was pure gold. No diamond.

[sakshijain]

I'm living for:
Freddie's "take it Brian"
Deacon's disco
Brian changing 3 guitars in one song
Roger's " READY FREDDIEEEE"

[fishbonkers]
