Queen at Live Aid 1985

This memorable and iconic performance that revived Queen as one of the Powerhouse bands in Rock History. A band I REGRET not seeing in Concert when Freddie Mercury was still alive.

Is considered the best live rock performance EVER. None better before or after. And I heartily agree! I watch this every now and then just to remember him like this. Only 20 minutes long but every second of it wows.

The little nuances that made Freddie Mercury come alive.

The extra features on BluRay has the full Live Aid recreation down to each move and jesture.

Freddy had the audience in the palm of his hands. And he knew it, too.
