Queen - Live Aid - Wembley 13 July 1985 - Complete

P. T. Barnum?

an utterly filthy individual .

I recorded about 3 hours of Live Aid including the whole Queen set from Radio 1 on to two 90 minute blank cassettes at the time. I still have them now.

ive got the dvd. or blu ray. cant remember which.

presumably it wont be complete though, they usually cut stuff out for copyright and whatever else.

i know the freddie mercury concert blu ray has several acts cut out cos a few mardy arse prima donnas were sh1t and refused to give permission to use their bits. as it were mrs.

7-00- 7-40 , one of the greatest moments in the  history of live music and Freddie was on his own.

Was staying in a mates flat over looking the sea on one of the western islands that night.
Was a magic night all round.
Kenny on another subject I read in yesterdays Sunday Post that over 600,000 animals were tested on last year in Scotland alone.
I was shocked to read that. Where would I find a breakdown of that?

Not sure akabula. That doesn't sound many. There were 3m in the UK 10 years ago.

Freddie for me was and always will be the best.

Just an amazing performance , remember being and kid and was mesmerised by the performance - the greatest frontman of them all

I asked MRs CMAT to record the whole concert as I was at work.

She got it all except Quo who opened it, and are one of my favourite groups.

Iirc, Freddie had a stinking cold that day, so it was an outstanding performance.

that was the gig that probably stopped them splitting up, when they left the stage Elton John called them b@stards for stealing the show

Fack him, he's a fat ugly poof, his opinions count for nothing.

funny how he was iranian (or in that ballpark) yet cos he was famous nobody moans about it. but then british people are like that. racist when it suits them.

He was born in Zanzibar, which is now Tanzania. His parents were Parsis, from India.

the best stadium live band in history bar none

I think I remember reading somewhere, or hearing it, many years ago, that Status Quo were originally scheduled to go on after Queen. But it was changed a couple of days before. After the Queen gig, the Status Quo boys said to one another 'thank f*ck we went first cos' there was no following that!'

Another tale I heard of that day was that another band were watching Queen and after the almost complete audience participation with Radio Ga Ga, one band member said to the others 'christ, wish we had a song like that'. Might have been Quo again but not sure.

A wonderful, wonderful performance from Queen and Mercury that blasted the day back into orbit after it had just begun to flag.

he only said it in a jokey way CMAT they were actually good friends

Remember it well, it was a cracking performance, only topped by U2 on the day.
