Queen – Live Aid – Part 5 (5/5)
Jan 11, 2010 guitar solos

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.

That’s not the case. He was brilliant but the others were great too. Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, May wrote The Show Must Go on. Mercury could have left the band but he didn’t. Queen were an entity
