The Story Of Queen in Live Aid 1985

Freddie had vocal nodules AND laryngitis at live aid. Doctors advised him not to perform. He ignored them and this was the result.

All the more incredible when you think about it. :)

The best live group of all time in my book. Nobody ever left a queen concert feeling cheated. Freddie was hands down the best front man on the planet, may he rest in eternal peace. Thank you for all the great music Freddie.

Freddie Mercury just came out there and did what he always has done and is still doing today.. kicking everyone's ass when it comes to performing on stage. The dude was a beast! We love you Freddie, and we still miss you! RIP. #Legend

I have seen some really REALLY good live bands in my day but nothing will compare to this performance by Queen. There is a reason we are still commenting on it almost 40 years later.

To have that command over an audience, wow, i dont think there is another artist anywhere in the world that could do it quite like freddie.

This was and IS the best rock performance of all time, period!

To all the naysayers that were giving QUEEN flack - whenever people talk about Live Aid, this is what they talk about, enough said!
QUEEN rocked the world that day!

In terms of all-time great frontmen of music, there is Freddie Mercury...and everyone else.

I was 8 years old when live aid was aired, i watched it with my family and when Queen came on that stage, that was the moment i fell in love with music, Queen and Freddie. He was my first love and he will be my last!

I can’t stop watching this. Freddie Mercury’s performance is mesmerizing. “A fascinating kind of power”

Nobody has ever filled out a pair of Wrangler jeans as well as Freddie. The best thats ever been now. Thanks for the music and memories Queen.

Freddie OWNED that crowd from the first note of Bohemian Rhapsody to the final note of We Are The Champions. He had 75K people hanging on his every move and every note. It is the ultimate showman in his finest live performance.

My school friends and I had a huge party in Houston, Texas as we watched all day and we clapped along with Wembley to Radio GaGa. Fuckin' A. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
