one of the best pieces of camera work of that day.

And not a mobile in sight. Wonderful

@@rogleach That and Freddie's "ballet" with the camerman!

I was 11 in 1985. I lived those days

Could not have said better, such great and different music those days

yep same here!!!

Glad I was part of the 80 growing up 65yo now

Amen.

Literally just stared at that and then I came down here to the comments and see this lol

I know lol

Ikr

Great camera 🎥 Work getting the crowd “through his eyes “....

It was to prove they were really there and live see. He was watching the crowed in 4k to lol.

Yes i do

Me🎉

Nope. Why do people always comment with this?

Here!

Yep, still here

Let's go back we have the music 💙 still

... glad that i´ve lived in it!!!

It was also a scary time to be alive, based on this song.

Indeed and to have witnessed history like this, magical

Much more homely and worry free compared to todays generation

Well, I get the feeling someone in the boomtown rats was jealous.

this is true indeed

Because that wanker Geldof took all the credit.

Crimsonphilosophy Geldof only had that rant because the donations weren’t coming in fast enough.

Queen Corporate Marketing Associated stole the show ...

And no autotune.

👏🏼

and no in-ear monitors. I remember one interview with Rob Halford where he said, they just sang as loud as they could hoping for the best xD

LMAO

Its true tho lol

literally

💯 love fra Danmark 🇩🇰 Total 80s 👑💖👏

great band but overshadowed by queen who stole the show

Haunting song - but yes good comment.

Yes, I completely agree.

@@markfarnon6742 thanks, corrected it.

@@steliosc.4686 You're welcome 😉

80s music beats any of the garbage of today 😂 What a complete legend 🙌 xx

​@@dawnsmith5634 there's still good artists today, but very few, the 80's were mostly better

@@arkhamguard6479 💯

amazing performance

true pros like Midge Ure can pull it out of the bag and deliver a stellar performance even when they are below their best

Shit, your 55 now!

I was 14 too, that summer. Magical times to be young.

Nicolas sirkis et Louis Bertignac fait partie des chanteurs de génie comme Midge ❤

Them.. and Simple minds...

Absolument n importe quoi. Les anglais sont a des niveaux musicaux d une autre dimention . Bertignac et sirkis ne dont pas des chanteurs. Manque de culture!!!!!​@@nathalie7042

I was only 5 in 85 but remeber the 80s very well ....it was class being a small child with all the other kids in the street...all the games we played and the hot summers....I remember it all like it was yday ...I can only imagine what it was like being a teenager but yea it would have been cool af ....it was a good decade .....decades that stand out are the 60s the 20s and the 80s imo ...

Yes, yes it was.

I totally agree!! A truly amazing time to be a teen! I wish we could go back in time!

I was 13 and also watched it at home that day in the living room as well. Was in Devon UK.

I was 15 years old..God I wish I could go back to 1985.

i concur

Last century

I had their 1st 4 records in the Midge era and I really liked them.

dude you're stuck in the 80's or 90's. Its the next century

Patrick Shwayze on drums

Top 🤩🌼🌼🇧🇷🙏😷

Boa noite 🤩🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

I believe the sound system for Wembley was broken or either replaced with a different one, which makes it even more amazing. The effect used on the guitar is a flanger and indeed 'too much' for my liking. But anyways, great performance!

Yes he is but nothing compares to Freddie

@@surmel9163 well I do not completely disagree or agree. I think musicianship is more than being a good composer, singer or mastering an instrument. For your point of view, I am a musician myself and think it is facinating when people master an instrument or write a beautiful song. I think that Queen was a band in general that couldn't do without eachother. You noticed this quite on the solo records from Freddie (Mr Bad Guy) and Midge Ure (primarly singer in Ultravox) was more the brains and composer within Ultravox. To make my point clear, all muscians are different and unique. Fred had a great vocal range, a great ear for composing and mixing and an excellent skill of playing piano (actually all the things that made Queen stand out and making the music that interesting. However, I think that Queen and Freddie would had never succeeded if they did not meet. Queen was very influential, made probably one of the best songs ever (Bohemian Rhapsody), but I do not think that it is kudo's to Freddie only.

12pm actually

12pm*

* 1,5 Billionen

Jon Dunmore actually it was 13.17 when Ultravox came onto the stage, he sung Vienna first if I remember correctly so it wad have been 13.30 approx when he sung this one

There was definitely rehearsal

Oh I think the shot at 2:27 makes the crowd size quite clear. 🤨

Singing with crowds in his eyes

point! this performance is amazing!! gah miss such times 😔

A lot of them can now. You're talking about modern pop acts, they're not artists.

@@Hellwyck Alright, back when commercial pop acts could replicate their songs live.. With real instruments

Back when performances sometimes beat the album version.

These are good. Do their own songs as well. They recreate different genres with just guitar bass and drums kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZuRZrZ_zbu2lYk.html

alex t. Agree

I only need a one way trip.

take me here with you time machine people.. this is why.

I just wish I could hear all their songs again for the first time

You Tube is already a time machine by The way...Did you ever imagine a thing like this in 1985?

💯% love 🥰💕👌 💯 love fra Danmark 🇩🇰

That was a great album, I still have it (on cassette lol).

Well said Russ.

Totally agree Russ 👍

I love this performance 🤩

Yep. I completely concur.

What about Simon le Bon 😊

Sounds like you raised her right. ✔ *Dad Goals*

Listen to her, dad. Intelligent young lady you raised.

The 70,s

Leon Queen were my favourite.

Same age as you. Same memories.

Lee Wright I’m only 21, so I wasn’t even born when Live Aid happened but I have the DVD and wish I could go back in time.

The heat and his attire clash. Don't know why or how he pulled it off without fainting. Lol.

Cool band name. Never got into them much but I always loved the name. Human League is interesting name as well.

Nothing wrong with the 80s my friend 😊

I'm a little worried (in 2024!) about how HOT he must have been in that coat. Which is VERY '80s! :)

yep - standard mid80's school attire - white socks, black slip ons and grey trousers.

sherp2u1 yeah remember the white one from the “if I Was” film clip? That was so cool back then....

Not this guy.

💯% love 80s og 🥰 80s 🎙🎶🎤🥁🎸🎷🎹🔊🥰 the King 👑 af musik i varden 🌏 💯🥰

I agree 👍 great years bieng young

He was young. I bet he couldn’t do those notes with that much power anymore. We all get old unfortunately. 🙁

@@normturner4849 he’s still brilliant though!

jess allen Sure is! I think the songs stand the test of time. Some other 🤡in comments said the synthesised sound was ‘cheesy’ without allowing for the fact that those keyboard sounds were a new thing in the 80s. Bands were experimenting with what was possible & it was all new & exciting! I miss those days. This is one of my favourite songs. You know the original video to go with this song? A French(?) filmmaker ran the video backwards to the song so the nuke meltdown happens first & at the end the baby gets put to bed & they dance. It ends up feeling really poignant and sad bc you know already that they’ve died so you see that they’re saying goodbye in their dance. I cannot find this version as it was unofficial, just some dudes trying stuff but I read the original video director saw that & really liked it and felt it was actually better than his vid. Mega high praise for a video I sanctioned by the record label! If you ever happen across this I hope you remember me & link it to me. I only lost it bc I changed devices & the Cloud sux steaming bowls of liquified shite! 🤣🤮

@@normturner4849 I saw an interview with him a couple of years ago, where he said that if he now were to give advice to young Midge Ure, it would be to not write those songs in such damn high key, lol.... Love the man.....

It's easy........just takes hour's of hard work and dedication......and talent

🤩🤩🤩🤩🙏😷🇧🇷

💯% love 💕 80s 🤗 💯% love 🥰 hilsen fra Danmark 🇩🇰

The human drum machine!

Edward Nigma, I saw him when he came through Cleveland a few years ago. Loved it!

Isn’t he fantastic. I’ve seen him twice and booked to see him again later this year. Such a great performer.

💯% love 🥰💕✌ Danmark 💕😋🇩🇰🖐

@Scott Farquharson I know what it's about; the song itself takes me back to my childhood, I just can't figure out why.

I don't know why the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie pictured Bob Geldof as the only man behind the Live Aid.

Ultravox was not even in the same ballpark as Queen.

@@satchfan2010 're read my comment, I didn't say they were, I stated that I believe they had an amazing performance overlooked

Queen was an old band in those days more 70's dads music. Ultravox was young and of there time. Although Queens fame and songs stand the test of time and of course records sold made Queen Huge

Sry seeing nothing special in this performance.I was in pain watching Live Aid get started with dull performances such as this one and Style Council. Thankfully, the dramatic acts came later. As someone mentioned they are not in the same ballpark as Queen

Queen is comically overrated. They're a band that everyone thinks is good because they're told to think they're good, just like Led Zeppelin. Self-indulgent boomer trash that aged like shit. Bowie is timeless, Queen isn't.

I STILL love to sing along with this song+ Vienna. Live Aid was an amazing event.
