People overlook alot of artists at live aid because of Queen and yes I'm a Queen fan. But this is an incredible performance in its own right.
@mikelee4929 2 жыл бұрын
I see it differently. Music is for everyone. Everyone can pick what they personally like. Starting a discussion about who deserves more attention is silly. Queen has catapulted this concert into the history. Of course the other performances were damn good too. In fact, this one is my favorite. But this performance wouldn't have the attention that has today without the Queen performance either. Thank you Queen, thank you Ultravox.
@mikelee4929 2 жыл бұрын
@@dannyvine3605 Ah ok. Instead of Queen, Hollywood took U2 as a model for a film in which exactly this appearance was staged almost exactly as the highlight there. But like I said, arguing about "who was better and more important" is stupid. Most were over the top here. I also thought U2 was great.

Mercury ispure showmanship??!! Are you insane?? Have you listened to Freddies vocal, live show, especially in the 80's?? No?? Than I give you this: please listen to him singing "who wants to live forever" live at Wembley. Or "Save me" and "Somebody to love" in Montreal. If you still come here and say he is only a showman....well.... I live it to you to figure something out. Btw, did you know that even today, great musicians and stars admire FM? No, not for his show, but his V O I C E. Yes. And they have even tried to researsch his voice some years ago. Guess what they found out? That Mr Mercury had a 4 vocal voice, which is at the same range that Pavarotti! (Dont know if you know what vocals range mean, or even who Pavarotti is 🤷♀️) Just saying. Pease snd love you know 🤘🙌🙏👌
@stanettiels7367 4 ай бұрын
@@siwbergfall6623 Absolutely true. I didn’t mean his vocals were not UNBELIEVABLE. But often his showmanship would be what most would remember. Midge was less a showman so you would concentrate more on the vocal performance. My apologies, I didn’t word it very well. Mercury is one of the greatest singers to ever walk earth. A vocal range so good he could pull off almost any song.

I agree... on the record. There's some awful tuning issues on this live version though, you can almost see it in his face as he plays 😂😬

Walked in the cold air Freezing breath on a window pane Lying and waiting A man in the dark in a picture frame So mystic and soulful A voice reaching out in a piercing cry It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance The image has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna This means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna

Incredible voice. What a great time that was. All those bands in one day. Fun times in the eighties.

Absolutely brilliant..this is live..the emotion coming from midge ure singing voice is delivered so perfectly..it's not easy for a singer to sound as good live as their sound recording. Midge ure surpasses that.

I remember seeing this live in the US that day. I had been a fan since around 1982 but hadn’t ever seen them live. This blew me away back then and it still blows me away in 2021. What a legendary group.

Over the years I had forgotten how Midge absolutely nailed the vocals on Vienna - Excellent.

Listen at that amazing voice and this was done cold with no warming up! What a superb musician and craftsman Midge Ure is !!!

The acoustics are pretty good for an 80000 seat stadium. Midge did a great job, both performing and organising the event.

I remember being 15 and glued to the TV watching this. The next day I went out and got as many Ultravox cassettes as I could afford. 🥰 Saw Midge Ure on his solo tour in 2015, and he sounded as good as ever.

This is one of the best vocal performances of Ures career.

That is a vocal that leaves no room for error. You either nail it or you bomb. Ballsy performance.

Omg! The master class vocals of Midge Ure!! Astounding!! I watched this on the day of Live Aid back in 85, and have not seen the performance since. Wow!!! I salute you Midge!! The band were amazing too!! No one performs like this any more with this class, this heart and this conviction! Truly beautiful! Thank you Ultravox ♥️🙏
