I finally watched Fionna and Cake…
Oh. My. God. That’s all I have to say.
Queen performs at Live Aid in 1985
Why not take 20 minutes and watch one of the best live performances in the history of music?
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.
1) Bohemian Rhapsody (intro)
2) Radio GaGa
3) Hammer to Fall
4) Crazy Little Thing Called Love
5) We Will Rock You (First verse and finale)
6) We Are The Champions
