"2005 - The band’s performance at Live Aid is voted two times by a large selection of musicians and critics to be the greatest live show of all time." (Wikipedia)

“13.07.1985, London (Wembley Stadium), England

Most of top artists of that time were present at this mega-famous festival and Queen of course had to be there. Each artist got from ten to twenty minutes for their show; no playback or soundcheck were allowed. Queen hesitated because playing without a soundcheck is always a risk. But then they accepted the rules and their 20 minutes of fame came on at 18:44 GMT.
Queen were on top form and not only according to Bob Geldof and Elton John, they stole the show. They played only the intro to Bohemian Rhapsody (the opera part couldn’t be played from the tape as playback was forbidden & there wasn’t enough time anyway). Instead of the opera part, Radio Ga Ga followed. We Will Rock You was reduced to the first verse (and the final guitar solo) only. Is This The World We Created was performed by Freddie and Brian only later in the evening."

Probably the most meaningful song Queen ever played. It’s literally about Freddie’s struggle to continue to sing and be a musician, despite his failing health (which is why the music video is a tribute to Freddie instead of new footage). It’s really more than just a song, it’s autobiographical.

Freddie hung in there too. He never admitted to the illness until he knew he was dead. He died less than 24 hours after announcing to the world his condition. But instead of letting his illness stop him, he remained a dedicated and vigilant musician until the end. This, I think, is what makes him a legend.

RTITS2 can be cool, but he chooses that he needs to be an asshole to get friends, but he doesn’t need to. It’s sort of sad, i could be pretty good friends with him too.
