HEY YALL LETS TRY TO GET 1,000 LIKES, I KNOW WE CAN DO IT.

When you realize your parents were cooler than you could ever be.

As 67 year old man who was lucky enough to be at Wembley stadium that day, I think it’s brilliant that queen is still appreciated by people all these years later.

Tickets sold: 72k People watching: 1.9 Billion

I can't begin to explain how much joy it brings me to see younger generations still be in awe of Freddie. He was asked "What's your favorite instrument to play?" He said, "The audience, darling!" God, the man is still a legend!

“For 20 minutes England was ruled by another queen” -random commenter

Freddy was once asked what instrument he played ..he said darling the audience is my instrument, true legend.

He wasn't just a singer, he was a true performer. There's very few real performers these days.

The part that gets me is that Queen was an afterthought at that concert, a lot of people considered them to be has beens. And they went on to put on what is widely regarded to be the single greatest concert set of all time.

What makes Freddie's control of the crowd more amazing is the fact that this was not a Queen crowd. When the tickets for this concert were sold Queen were not yet on the bill.

There over a billion people watching this on TV worldwide that day.. plus this arena in England, and one in Philadelphia too. The best 20 minutes in music history!! There will never be another Freddie.. may he RIP!!

Its a kind of magic...... That was Freddie on a bad voice day. He'd been ill, and was told not to sing. So, even in that state, he still sounds leagues above anyone else, ever...

Your smile the minute he started playing, that's how we all reacted in '85 when we watched it live. Freddie was a gift to us all. ❤❤❤

We, of that generation, were ALL there. The Live Aid concert was broadcasted globally. It was a huge event.

Remember watching this live and thinking: "Wow Queen just blew the doors off every other band"❤

I'm an old man in lockdown in London and I must tell you that I really enjoyed your reaction as I was exposed to him in the 1970s. I wore out all my records with repeated playing. It's hard to believe that he was a refugee who escaped with his family to London with only the clothes he stood up in. To see your face when exposed to Queen was priceless. Thank you so much.

This was voted by the entire music industry as the best live set by any band, ever! Even in the US, the audience was reacting just like the one in the UK was. Awesome.

I LOVE seeing the younger generations appreciate this music. It really transcends generations.

Yep. I was there.... 58 now and still remember it like yesterday. The best thing I've ever had the pleasure to being a part of. Thank you Queen for a special memory

An observer of the rehearsals for the concert said that Queen was the one band that really worked hard at it to make sure they put on a good show for the audience. This is why they did such a good job, they prove that the best are the ones that really do the hard work at their craft.

When the crowd clapped in unison when Freddie sang radio gaga, from that moment he realised how much power he had over the crowd and music in general, also how powerful the band now were. Freddie had the world in the palm of his hand for that 20 minutes, and the world was happy to be grasped by him

The day Freddie Mercury showed the world he's the greatest frontman of all time. Was nobody like it before him and there's been nobody like him since. Simply the best there was and the best that there will ever be.

I was there and it was one of the greatest moments in my life !

I was 5 years old when this happened. I watched it on TV with my parents. I remember my mother dancing about to the music, and I remember my dad making fun of Freddie for being gay the entire time. But, I didn't pay attention to the hate coming from my father at the time. All I saw or cared about, even at only 5 years old, was that this was the greatest rock performance that I had ever seen, or would ever see even to this very day. Freddie was electric on stage and everyone in that crowd knew every word to his music. I asked Santa that year for the Queen album that year. Today? I'm married to an amazing woman and we have 2 beautiful little girls that BOTH love Queen, and know their songs. They enjoy it with me every time their songs come on my Pandora station. Ahhh memories man. Thanks for this, Adogg.

Live Aid was a huge event, it's said anyone that was someone in the music world at the time was playing there, and here comes Queen at the last minute and steals the show. What a legendary band.

Godamnit, whenever YT recommends a video with Queen at Live Aid, I cant stop myself from watching the whole damn thing for the hundredth time. It's just so damn good and makes me so happy to listen to every minute of this. Queen and Freddie were legends and nothing really compares. This performance was absolutely the greatest live show ever. I would give almost anything to have been there.

Freddie Mercury is the epitome of what a rock star is.

I can't count the number of times I've watched Queen at Live Aid including live (on TV) on the day but I still get goosebumps. I'm a lifelong Queen fan.

I was there that day remember this wasn't a queen concert but the whole audience knew word for word every queen song ,they were stars of the show and it gives me chills even now, what a legend Freddie mercury

"Somebody send me a guitar." so I can learn how to play. When Brian May wanted to learn to play, he could not afford to buy a guitar. He and his father built a guitar out of materials they had around the house so he could play. That is the guitar you see Dr. Brian May playing in this concert. It is called the Red Special and is probably the the highest valued guitar on the planet should it ever go up for sale or auction.

When Queen ended their set, David Bowie is reported to say, "How the fuck am I suppose to follow that?!" Bowie was scheduled to be the next act on the live aid stage. Made it to the end of your video. Great reactions!

Live aid was the musical event of the century! Millions tuned in to watch this live as well.

Live aid in 1985 was a miracle in technology to be perfectly honest. It was an all-day concert that started in the UK and ended in Philadelphia. It was broadcast on MTV from early in the morning until after midnight. I know that because I was 16 years old and I used our VCR and recorded the entire concert. I even cut out the commercials except for two when I had to get something to eat or go to the bathroom. I remember that. There were all kinds of Acts that day from Paul mccartney, Elton John, The who, Madonna, Phil Collins, George Michael. The only acts I really remember are queen, madonna, and Duran Duran. I graduated high school in 1987 and was a huge Madonna and Duran Duran fan. But I had been a queen fan since I was in elementary school one of my very first records, a single 45 vinyl to be exact was Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. One of the reasons Queen is reacted to from live aid is because they stole the entire show. Most people will say this was one of the best live performances by any band ever! And I definitely agree. Thanks for reacting to this. I love watching new fans of Queen and Freddie Mercury enjoy this concert. He was one of a kind. There are only a few celebrities that I have cried when they passed away and definitely Freddie Mercury was one. Also I grew up with Michael jackson, Prince, George Michael and I cried when they passed away as well. I feel very blessed to have grown up with 70s and '80s music and I enjoy your channel very much. I am a new subscriber and I've been binge watching your channel for a couple days. You cheer me up on days that are sometimes tough because I deal with young onset Parkinson's. I've had it for 10 years and I'm only in early stage too. I'm having surgery soon. I enjoy reaction channels and yours has become one of my favorites. Thank you so much. You never know how you touch people, so I want to encourage you to keep it up. Take care and be blessed!

The incredible thing about this performance was that he was sick this day and it was still an amazing performance.

My husband attended this concert. He was a 22 years young GI stationed in Germany at the time. We wanted to say we truly appreciated and applauded your enjoyment of it. Freddie will NEVER die!

I watched it live. It gave chills. I cried. Freddie had everybody in the palm of his hand

The way Roger hit those high notes, he is super amazing. The true magic is the four of them. I can’t say it enough, Queen is magic, a once in a lifetime magic.

I was actually there, absolutely fantastic concert and queen totally smashed it, amazing performance by Freddie

Queen and Freddie totally stole the show-He has this amazing ability to get his audience to join him .Remember this is live aid so the audience came to watch all the acts so not necessarily Queen fans but yet he had them all in palm of his hands .He is greatly missed -One of the best performer EVER I can watch this over and over again. I was 14 at the time of this concert

He's one of the few that captivates his audience and they sing along with him. Awesome. I love it

This isn't a regular Queen concert. This was Live AID, which was literally a global all day concert on TV. This part is at Wembley, obviously. Every top act played in this, just about. But even with all them, Freddie stole the show.

Yes, I was there, at Live Aid. It was a very long, very hot, very emotional day. Even at the time I was watching it I was aware that I would remember that moment forever. It’s very rare to have that realization actually at the moment you’re watching something. The week before, I saw Springsteen’s Born in the USA tour at the same venue. Stunning as that was, Queen at Live Aid was the best I ever saw. EDIT: Made it til the end of your video.

I saw Queen 6 times and at Live Aid. They were just the greatest band ever. I was lucky to meet them all in 1978, too. Priceless memories xx

Freddie Mercury will never die! We will keep listening to his voice forever. ❤️

Always find that I’ve got tears in my eyes when ever I watch Freddie Mercury perform, the world truly lost 😞 someone precious when he left us. All peace and love💖 to you Freddie…… wherever you are.

The greatest concert performance of all time. 20 minutes that made history.

I was lucky enough to have seen Freddie perform with the band 4 times, from 77 to 82, and they were the BEST live band of their era. Always an incredible show with lots of play between the band and the audience.

I was 7 years old when this concert was held, but I still remember it, we had it on tv live all day at home in England, everyone but everyone was watching that day. Also no way they would let that many fans into Wembley today, look at the size of the crowd! But eesh, what a man, Freddy was taken far far far too soon.

I watched this to the end. These were not die hard queen fans. It was Live Aid with a wide mixture of music fans. Freddy had them eating out of his hands. It was beautiful to watch. Best set of the day and the night. Thanks for sharing this. 💕😊

So lovely to see a younger person, totally getting and enjoying our music, we were so blessed in the 60 70 80s.

Will forever be the best live performance ever! No one will ever beat his energy and connection with the crowd.

Freddy was probably a once in a generation musician on the order of Mozart. Not only was he a extraordinary composer and arranger, he had a 5 octave vocal range.

all the way bro,queen said "we will rock you" it was no joke, they did rock us, and they are still making us rock, this group is eternal

The fact that the “sold out arena” wasn’t even for Queen, it was for everyone performing at Live Aid. That was truly a good day in music history.

I was there at this concert and the July, Queen's "it's a kind of magic concert at the same venue in the old Wembley stadium in 1985. Them to days were the best days of my life. There was a 185,00 and 187.550 in July. Fantastic two days. In the July concert they put the water cannons on us all. Best rock/pop band ever. R.I.P Feddie sadly missed,never forgotten.

Freddie had a microphone in one hand and the crowd in the other not to mention the over a billion of us all over the world watched.Freddie was the best❤😂Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦

The long note that Freddie held in the middle of the “dayos” is known as “the note heard around the world”

Queen was so far ahead of the music world, that bands still havnt caught up !

I was 13 at the time. It was the most fantastic day ever. Absolutely love Freddie Mercury and Queen. Rip Freddie 😭

Freddie at his best...I was fortunate enough to be at live aid that day, this man is not only a great vocalist but a great entertainer too,..he is greatly missed

The way he could control an audience in a crowd is so epic it gives you goosebumps he is literally amazing

Not bad for a man who had laryngitis during the performance RIP Freddie

How can anyone NOT watch until the end of the video. I LOVE how you love Freddie also! Made me tear up remembering how we lost such an awesome talent. Man I miss that guy!

Freddie you made everybody smile and cry. what a life!! we loved you too. ❤️

I will be forever grateful that Freddie got his well deserved moment recorded for all time. I cry every time I watch this. He was taken from us a scant 6 years on. We still miss you Freddie 💜

I was there at Wembley, about half way back. What a day that was. Queen we’re superb as was Bowie.

I’ve seen so many reactions to this performance and not a single one has pointed out that move Freddie does at 6:50 during Radio GaGa. The fucking swagger that man had was unparalleled.

I love Queen! I remember being 15 and watching this on MTV. It was so moving that I was in tears. I truly miss Freddie. My dad introduced Freddie/Queen to me before I even started school. This is a huge part of my childhood. Their music was and always will be a huge part of my life. I passed that on to my children and they have now passed it on to my grandchildren. Oh! And I watched until the very end... TWICE!!

Each member of this band is so talented!❤️ So glad I was old as them…got to listen to them often!

What is ridiculous about this is that in 1985 Queen were thought of as being if not has-beens, certainly past their best. They got 20 minutes because that was how long Simple Minds got to set up their stage (in Philadelphia). At Wembley, they were followed by David Bowie (possibly the biggest rock star in the world at the time) who met them in the wings as they came off stage and said to Freddie (Mercury and Bowie were friends): "How the hell am I supposed to follow that, Freddie?" Bowie had 20 minutes to compose himself while Simple Minds were performing in Philly and then had to perform. PS if you want to know just how he did - his setlist was TVC 15, Rebel Rebel, Modern Love and Heroes - all four can be found on KZfaq, though you can't find the full set as a single video. It's probably the second-best set of the entire show. Queen had a huge career revival as a result of this show, which I'm sure surprises no-one who has heard it.

Fun note: Guitarist, Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist, made that guitar he is playing with his day when he was a teenager. He still plays it to this day.

I just love Queen and listened until the end. Freddie Mercury had the most amazing unique voices I've ever heard. I would consider it sacreligous to not listen to the end

For live concert goers this is what people want in a performance. Great music and great musicians with the most charismatic entertainer of all time. The way he connected to his audience was legendary . This concert had many big names in music coming together to help our fellow man . Very commendable. But this crowd came to see Freddie do what Freddie does. He didn’t just sing the songs he made the audience become part of the song. I saw him in Detroit at The Masonic Temple. Posh concert hall. I’d never cried before during a concert but that man overwhelmed me. His voice and his stage presence were off the charts. Music is subjective so I can never speak for others. But I’ve never seen anybody like him either before or after . Michael Jackson could match him I guess. Mike was amazing. Plus he was able to appeal to all races and age groups.

Loved when We Are the Champions started and he said "I've never heard this. I like it. What is it?" and I thought "oh, just wait. You know it."

The thing that has always amazed me is Freddie always sounds like his albums if not better live. We were blessed to being touched by this man's talent.

I saw them in concert in 82 they played 17 songs plus came back on stage and did 4 more for the encore the best group ever

Freddy Mercury was such a high energy, theatrical musician. I miss the days of performers like him. Glad you enjoyed the music my brother.

20mins that changed music brother wasn't even a queen crowd there just amazing Freddie had a throat infection doctors told him not to sing and queen rock this man 💛🙏👊🇬🇧🇺🇲

I was 41when Queen performed this concert. I was not there. During that time they had a bad rap for Freddy’s partying and his alternative lifestyle. Fortunately people got past that and recognized that he was a genius in his own right and the band, as you saw in the video, brought everything together. They did a movie on his life, worth the time to check it out. Glad to see you enjoyed the concert.

Watched the entire video and actually saw it on TV live at the time. The best concert ever that I witnessed and Queen rocked it. Your video brought back memories that will last forever. Thanks

Mercury was such an amazing performer! He always made it such a memorable experience to see him live. He had a crazy goofy grille but he was so great it just him more endearing.

I can't believe that anyone wouldn't stay until the end. It's the Greatest 20 minutes in Rock and Roll. What a Band. 😊

These 20 minutes need to be put in a museum and kept for future generations. THE BEST live act in history.

LOVED QUEEN when a teenager and always have! STILL DO

The only reason I wish I was 15 years older was so I could have seen Freddie in person! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this and I never tire of it! Quite simply,the best concert set I’ve ever watched or ever will watch. Freddie was a legend and a genius and is unmatched!

I remember watching this live on tv. Radio Ga Ga is my favorite Queen tune. When they played that song at Wembly for Live Aid, and I saw the crowd participating, I started to cry. The movie Bohemian Rhapsody portrayed this concert as well as it could be done. But absolutely nothing compares the power Queen had playing live. Freddie was a genius and a gift.

How Freddie managed to keep over 1 million people in line says everything! I miss him. He was an amazing talent and a wonderful man.

Watched it at a Live aid party at a friend's house. MTV was broadcasting it and even the whole group at that party was glued to Freddie Mercury's performance. It was truly a historic moment in the making and each time I watch Queen's performance I watch it all and have goosebumps and a smile every time. They aren't just a band, they, individually and together, are legends!!!

Freddie was actually already sick by this time but it wasn’t publicly known. He wanted to perform at this event. And he did! He left this world way too soon (11/24/91). Wonder what more music he had to share. I know we missed out on so much. RIP Freddie. ❤️

Queen got this reaction from the crowd when they joined the ticket after the promotional materials were printed - NO ONE came to see Queen. But everyone remembers being there.

Only Freddy could command a crowd like that. Simply amazing.

It's lovely seeing your reaction to Queen. I have been trying to remember the third time I saw them live. The Works at Wembley Arena, September 1984. The Magic Tour, July 1986. Supported by Status Quo, The Alarm and INXS. There are no words to convey what it was like being there, and hearing Freddie belt out the absolutely amazing songs. He was a fantastic performer, with an unbelievably charismatic presence on the stage. I believe you got a sense of it.

As someone who watched the whole concert both in London and Philadelphia that day, spending time with you and seeing your enjoyment was easy. Queen's performance was so good that the bands coming after them really had to up their game.

That man could play to an audience like no one else. A master at his craft.

Freddie sang with a sore throat, doctor didn't want Freddie to do show

I remember I was 16 years old and I sat in front of the TV and watched the entire concert and recorded it from beginning to end. The concert started early in the morning because of UK time and ended after midnight in Philadelphia. Out of all of the performances the only ones I remember are Queen, Duran Duran, Madonna, and Tina Turner with Mick Jagger. Queen outshined them all. He kicked Paul McCartney and David Bowie's butt. They were the best. You should definitely check out under pressure live from Wembley. You may recognize the beat because it was sampled by someone without their permission. Queen and David Bowie sued them and they lost a lot of money. Plus Queen and David Bowie are now on the album with writing credits. Love your reactions!

Every song was a Queen original. We are the Champions, We will Rock you, and maybe Bohemian Rhapsody, are considered to be rock anthems. Then, Freddie heard a famous Spanish opera singer on tv, and was in awe! Anyhow, he managed to have the soprano over to London, and they hit it off. So Freddie writes an opera album called Barcelona, then they sing it live in Barcelona and LA. Freddie dies 2 years later, The 1992 Olympic Games were hosted in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992, and the games opened with this Spanish soprano singing Freddie’s song Barcelona, in honor of him. I wish you would show this short time when Freddie branched into opera. Amazing!

I am 62 and seeing you appreciate so much this major moment of my life is pure joy

You can actually hear when his voice was going during "We are the Champions." His voice just made it for the concert.

I wasn’t there I was 5 but I remember watching with my Mum in tears. She is a massive Freddy fan. Greatest front man of all time. He had a throat infection singing this
