That only reminds me how much Live Earth sucked by comparison.
My damn generation can't get anything right.

I will be watching these DVD's tonight...thanks for the reminder
Lots of underrated performances, but Sting and Branford Marsalis doing a stripped down version of Roxanne/Every Breath You Take was a treat
ETA: Queen's best day...on top of the world

Queen
That was probably the best live "short set" (special event/charity/festival, etc.) performance by a recording act in history - certainly the best I'm aware of and almost certainly the best ever on film. From a musical performance standpoint, brilliant in every way.
Might as well have been, "Queen and guests present, Live Aid" after that.

Summer 1985 was a heady time. Different vibe than you see today for sure. Great concert and remember watching the whole thing on early MTV. Phil Collins playing both the London and Philly concerts in the same day intrigued me. Good times.

Truth. Radio Ga-ga set everyone off.

If you watch that show, it is amazing to see an entire stadium crowd over 100K completely focused on the band & the experience of the music. This was around the end of an era of shows like this. I miss this.
This would NEVER happen today. Everyone is filming the show on their phone or taking selfies & not paying attention to the show they paid a huge amount of money to see. Sad.

Well said. If anyone doubts that Freddy Mercury was the ultimate frontman, I say watch Live Aid and get back to me.

Queen set the world on fire that day. Easily the best in show at Live Aid. Perhaps the best live performance in the history of music.
Edit: It should be noted though, Queen were among the original pioneers of stadium rock. They practically invented the art of audience participation at concerts. Of all the bands who played at Wembley that day, I think Queen was the most at home in that setting.
