Queen - Live Aid - Part 3 (3/5)

Back


13.07.1985, London (Wembley Stadium), England

Most of top artists of that time were present at this mega-famous festival and Queen of course had to be there. Each artist got from ten to twenty minutes for their show; no playback or soundcheck were allowed. Queen hesitated because playing without a soundcheck is always a risk. But then they accepted the rules and their 20 minutes of fame came on at 18:44 GMT.
Queen were on top form and not only according to Bob Geldof and Elton John, they stole the show. They played only the intro to Bohemian Rhapsody (the opera part couldn't be played from the tape as playback was forbidden & there wasn't enough time anyway). Instead of the opera part, Radio Ga Ga followed. We Will Rock You was reduced to the first verse (and the final guitar solo) only. Is This The World We Created was performed by Freddie and Brian only later in the evening.

05: We Will Rock You (First Verse & Finale)
06: We Are The Champions

It would be cool to see Brian May during the solo. Too bad.

It was one great performance after another.
It started at 8am and went to midnight in London and Philadelphia.
Just a great day of great music.
There weren't many days in the 80's where it was better to be a fan of music.
People today have NO idea.
Oh sing along, "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!"
because we were.
