Take a break and reminisce the greatest 21 minutes in the history of Rock&Roll and live performance in general. If you don't get chills during "Radio Ga Ga", you don't have a pulse.

My friends and I literally throw this video on once a month when we're hanging out. Such an awesome performance. Really happy there is good video/audio from it considering how old it is.

Re: Queen-Live Aid, 35 Years Ago Today.
I remember watching it live when it aired. At the time, it didn't go over too well with rock fans in the states. Those Live Aid sets were only two or three songs long and I recall the American rock fans being very disappointed with Queen's song selection. Radio Gaga wasn't a favorite song among their American rock fans. I distinctly remember people saying that Queen had lost it, they were sell outs, and so on.
Fast forward a few years and people see it as being an epic performance, which it was.
The Live Aid sets that I thought totally kicked ass were the reunited Sabbath lineup and Judas Priest. They both showed suckas how its done.
The set that I thought was the worst was, sadly, Led Zeppelin. I was so looking forward to that and was so let down. It just wasn't good.

Very cool, and really high quality footage!

Say what you will about the movie itself, but every time I see old footage of Queen, I remember what an amazing job they did when casting Bohemian Rhapsody.
