  • In this video, we'll share with you an adorable reaction of a daughter seeing Queen's performance LIVE at the 1985 Live Aid concert.
    My daughter was so surprised and excited when Queen played at Live Aid that she immediately started recording the performance on her phone. This video is a jaw-dropping testament to the power of music and how it can touch people's lives in incredible ways. Watch and be moved by this beautiful reaction!

    Bless your heart for giving your sweet girl a proper musical education and showing her how musical talent actually works: no gimmicks, no auto-tune, no earpiece, no semi-naked dancers, no dissing exes, no backing track, nothing but talent. Roger wrote this, adapting his child's words ka-ka (meaning poop) to ga-ga. Part of the lyrics is radio blah-blah.

    Queen stole the show with this one. They were in a slump and instead of just going on stage, doing a couple of songs and getting off again like the other bands, Freddie decided to go for it and "put on a show". Their career took off again after this. David Bowie was the next act to come on stage. he was heard to say "How the F%#K am I supposed to follow that!".

    I was in the crowd that day - I'm 58 now, was 21 at the time, and fresh out of university - I made a long weekend of it in London, to take my mind off waiting to get my degree results.
    I was a Huge Queen fan and it was the 3rd time I saw them play live (out of 5 times in total).. and it's true when they say that Queen stole the show. All around me, people who'd never yet seen Queen play live were almost in shock.... "How the F*** does anybody follow THAT???"
    A red-hot summer day, and I got quite heavily sunburned.. but worth it.
    On hi-res TH-cam videos it's possible to pick me out in the crowd - During 'Crazy Little Thing', right after "Ready-Freddie", the camera pans to the crowd - There's a girl sitting on her b/f's shoulders... I'm a couple of rows behind, to the right as we look at her - I'm the one in sunglasses, right behind the guy waving the white t-shirt.
    I've also watched this back with my daughter.... and my 13 y.o. grand-daughter - they were so jealous when I pointed myself out in the crowd.

      @@TCBReacts Thanks! - Also, on the subject of songwriting - Freddie apparently wrote 'Crazy Little Thing' in about 15 mins, while taking a bath in between shows while on tour, the song is indeed, a tribute to Elvis, which is probably why he often did the Elvis 'drawl' while performing it live.
      The basics of it is fairly simple to play on guitar (apart from the solo) - I was in a covers band in my 20s, and we used to play it (Also did 'Tie Your Mother Down')

I was 12 in 1985 and can remember watching it on TV, still a momentous occasion but would have loved to actually been there!

    At the time of Live Aid I was serving in the British Royal Marine Commandos in a refugee camp in Ethiopia, whilst the Bands were raising money for the people we were there to help and protect. We listened to it on the radio. We were surrounded by the full horror of the Famine, but when Queen came on the radio those poor soles who were there even reacted in a very positive way. I remember that a lot of us Royal Marine Commandos were crying watching some of the children dancing along, I'm teary eyed just remembering. I looked around at men I had fought alongside, who were tough, hardened Royal Marine Commandos who had fought a life and death war against Argentinian's in 82. By the end of Queen's set we were dancing with the children. It went along way to help build their trust in us. The famine is only one of many terrible memories I have from 35 years of active service, and over 2 years hospitalisation. But when I remember the smiles on the children's faces, and their laughter at the terrible way we danced always reminds me that humanity will always find it's way through even the worst of times. I only watched it for the first time last year, my son put it on the TV. A lot of memories came back and a lot of tears.
    My amazing Wife took me to see Queen at Wembley, U.K., in 1986 two weeks after I got back from Ethiopia as a surprise, we also went to the last Queen concert they ever did. I saw Queen live 8 times in all (my wife only 6 ha ha), they were incredible live. And yes, I am an old fart.
    P.S. In 2007 I was walking in a part of London called, Putney, with 2 of my fellow service members. We were on our way to see an ex member of our Troop when I spotted a man I recognised, but I couldn't think of where from. Suddenly I realised who it was and shouted out "your John Deacon"! He nearly jumped out of his skin, and I immediately apologised for scaring the crap out of him. My two colleagues thought I'd lost my mind, until I told them who he was. I'd listened to Queen on Base and when we were Posted to Iraq, Afghanistan and a lot of other places all the time. Mr Deacon invited us for a pint at his local pub, which I said yes to, as fast as giving an order on Parade or when under fire. So there I was having a beer with a Legend, Queen's Bassist, talking about all the times I had seen Queen live, starting as far back as 1977 when I was 13, and also that my wife and I had "You're My Best Friend" as our song at our wedding (which he wrote). I told him the impact that hearing Queen at Live Aid had on the refugee's who could hear it at the camp in Ethiopia in 1985. And how It was Queen that actually got some of the children dancing, how they pulled some of us up and ended up dancing with them, and after that moment the children and some of the women started to trust us. The fact that we were able to build on that basis, and in other Country's being able to use music as a way to break down barriers that people who had suffered so much naturally build.
    Then my colleagues decided to tell him that I had a habit of singing Queen and songs from other bands like the Electric Light Orchestra, Earth Wind and Fire, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy and so on when we were in combat, and how it would help calm the younger Trooper's and soldiers. I just wanted to become invisible at that moment, but he asked me what I sang, so I ran of quite a long list, he said I had good taste. After a couple of pints we went on our way, I had the autograph for my wife. He was a humble and incredibly nice man, and I have such a great memory in meeting one of my hero's.
    However, as soon as we were out of sight, my colleagues ran for their lives.
    I managed to bug one of my older brothers and his wife to go and see Queen's "The Game Tour" in 1980 at the Wembley Arena. It was a Christmas present to my girlfriend (now wife and owner), it was our second date. I'd seen them on their "Crazy Tour" the year before so I knew what a hell of a show they put on, plus I was trying to lure the Boss to the dark side :)). And like all good couples we have a song, which we danced to at our wedding, "You're My Best Friend", a song written by John Deacon (the bassist, who I met by accident 2007).

    believe it or not Freddie was a very shy man. He used to come into our Hi-fi shop and buy his equipment. We were a little shop in Tottenham Court Road, Road. Unlike the larger Hi-fi places we specialisted in higher end stereos. He would walk around and listen to different items before choosing what he wanted. Everybody knew who he was but nobody took any notice of him ( we had a number of famous customers). He got friendly with a friend of mine who worked there who used to go to his home and set up his equipment. Whenever he went there he would end up spending the whole evening, just chilling out with Feddie and whoever was at the house. He said that Freddie just liked being treated as a normal person and hated being reconised when he wasn't't working.

      Not just playing them like a fiddle. This concert was tied in with the one in Philly, switching between each act. In Philly the crowd were reacting to Freddie on the big screen the same way as the Brits were in London including during the call and response. So he played another crowd like a fiddle who were 4000 miles away.

    Roger Taylor (Queen's drummer) wrote Radio Ga Ga. His then 3-yr-old son, Felix, whose mother is French, ran into the room and announced "radio caca". Roger was inspired by the statement but Queen's management company nixed the idea of Caca (French for poo) so he changed it to GaGa though Roger claims that in the studio version, occasionally they actually did sing "Caca".
    Freddie wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" as an homage to Elvis. Freddie was taking a bath in his hotel in Munich (recording an album) when the inspiration struck. He yelled for someone to bring him a guitar and it took him about 10 minutes to write this song. He called the other members of Queen to go to the studio immediately so they could record it. Actually, Freddie, Roger, and John had it recorded before Brian made it to the studio so his guitar solo was added last.

  • @kathramsay1569

    Nice of you to pass it to your daughter even if you were too young to experience and enjoy it when it happened. I was at my grandmothers house and it was full of relatives that weekend for some reason. It was on all weekend. We all came and went into the living room and got bits and pieces. But the evenings were saved for the big acts.
    Great choice! Cheers!

      @@wetukman It was about the famine in Africa, not AIDS (notice the "S"). It was called Live AID (no "S") because it was live, of course and it was to Aid those who were starting.

    Your comments make us realise how far we've come since 1985. I was 26 then and not particularly a queen fan , but live aid was such a big deal , and looking back queens performance was the only one I remember. I hope you've seen the movie now, remember freddie had just got his aids diagnosis before live aid and in those days it was a death sentence. We're all so proud of these guys in the UK and dad...you're not 40 yet? Really?🤣🤣❤🥰

    Freddy Mercury was born Farrohk Bulsara in Zanzibar. He had a throat infection at the time of Live Aid and a doctor told him NOT to do the show. Freddy did it anyway. Have you ever tried to sing with a really bad sore throat? A crack in his voice is a small thing in comparison. Love to see the father/daughter reaction ❤️

Then the crowd starts reacting and clapping like the extras from the original music video of "Radio Ga-Ga". For many years I thought I was the only person who thought that "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" sounded like an Elvis song. Great vid. Now watch "Highlander" together.

    Just a couple of quick notes - 1) Freddie wasn't born in England. He was born in Zanzibar, which was a British colony at the time, and which is located in modern day Tanzania. His family were Indian Parsees rather than being of European descent. He would have been entitled to a British passport as a British national, though, because of being born in a British colony. And 2) on Radio Gaga, Roger's child did actually say "radio caca", but Roger wrote the lyrics as "radio gaga" and the rest was history. It was my favorite song when I was 8 years old. It is a fun song, and to this day I cannot listen to it without doing the overhead hand clap that they did here which was part of the Radio Gaga music video.
    Queen music is so iconic, and that's down to the contributions of all four original band members - all singularly talented, but together they made two decades of amazing music that has stood the test of time.

    He did say radio caca. The song was originally called radio caca bcuz Roger, the drummer, heard his 2 year old son (who was half french) yell ugh radio caca and wrote the song from there. It ended up getting changed to gaga before it was released.

Radio Ga Ga was Roger Taylor's song and his toddler son came into the room didn't like the music he heard, and pointed at the radio and said Radio Caca. (his mom was French and the child spoke both languages. Crazy Little Thing was a song Freddie wrote as a tribute to Elvis , who he truly admired. Thank you for your reactions.

    I watched it live. Bob Geldof was despondent at the figures coming in and was on his way to the interview area, not knowing what to say when Queen took to the stage. 5 minutes into their set and Bob's enthusiasm had returned as well as his determination, which inspired him to use the "F" word live on Worldwide air. Queen has been credited for effectively saving the whole of "Live Aid" with that one set.
