We still love Freddie Mercury; the world continues appreciating the wonder and fantastic results of 1985's Live Aid as Queen's 20 minute concert still entertains, remaining a constant reminder even here in 2024.
Bob Geldof being himself was what was needed to get things done and why the Divine power/ fate chose him to do such a wonderful thing. Good on ya mate.
so many bands were so far up there own arse just wanted to look gd and failed.but where queen and the great Freddie Mercury was himself were he loved the crowd and made the crowd feel like the song's were for them...... god bless you Freddie miss you still so much in 2013....
He did indeed. He treated it as a gig and just went out there to put on “a f**king good show. These four old dinosaurs slow the world how to put on a show and rock the world.”
@@nicholasdickens2801 Yes and all the extra posing and posturing Freddie did was kick dust in their faces to let them know the one true King and his 3 trusty knights had arrived👑👑👑👑
My 2 favorite bands are The Beatles & Queen. And at 8:25 Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury are singing next to each other. Why was I born in 1995 and not 1955??
And then everybody and their mother's saying all this horrible crap about Bob Geldof when suddenly Paul calls him "fucking great" & Brian May a "superb human being". WHAT?!?
That's alright, mate. As my uncle is fond of saying, "it's up to you to remember and tell the story of what actually happened and tell your children so they can tell it to their children".
I came home from Work early to watch the whole concert - AMAZING!! But Bob Gendorf saying "Give me your Fucking Money"!!!! Bull shit, it was Freddie & Queen that got the concert back on it's feet & the money flowing. That was a Concert just made for Freddie Mercury!!!!!!!
if you think about it...a Beatle, three of Led Zep, complete Queen, a fresh U2, a Rolling Stone, Tina Turner, 2 of the Temptations, Hall & Oates (yes! hall AND oates..they're one of the greats), a Wham, Bowie, The Who...Woodstock couldn't even get the Rolling Stones and The Beatles and The Doors t'play. and they were still young and active back in 69. Live Aid's THE greatest rock concert event OF ALL TIME. they just couldn't repeat this EVER...sadly.
I enjoyed, I sang along, I laughed, I cried, I was embarrassed by the US. I hate the 4 letter word, but LIVE Aid was fabulous and BOB GELDOF was amazing, stubborn, unselfish, a man with a vision.
this was just such an enormous and amazing event. I was 16 and watching in a sleeping bag in my Dad's lounge room for 12 hours. All my heroes (British) were playing. But for me it was U2 that completely stole the show, I think that was the day I fell in love with Bono! Yeah I know Queen did the huge stadium rock thing but for me it was U2 that was really heartfelt. The whole event was miraculous, who could do what Geldof did? No sleep for days on end and back seizures by the end...
Finally, some truth! Freddie and Queen stole the show. Bono makes me sick knocking down Freddie. Freddie was in a relationship with Jim at this time and Jim was there at live aid. I doubt Freddie came on to Bono in front of Jim. Plus, Bono should've gave Freddie the mic instead of hogging it!
Freddie bless him was so camp yes (even heteros can be). He was very playfull as Roger once said he was a very shy man so he would have his other persona showing... I think it is disgusting to say he was like that at the time .I expect something else may have been going on with him. He was one of a kind. If he shout jump you eagerly how high! Good job he was a good guy and not a Trump
Melinda Green he wasn't knocking him down he was teasing and so was Freddie he wasn't serious he was just having a bit of fun at Bono's expense lighten up Freddie had a sense of humor you need one Freddie id not ake himself so seriously
Melinda Green he was not knocking down Freddie jeez us women can be sensitive Freddie was playful and Bono is not the only one he flirted with he fired with Francis from Status Quo and with Midge he was having a laugh with them if you are so concerned about someone being knocked down defend Phil Collins against Jimmy Page
@@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966 he was shy with the public these were his peers my god you sensitive ninnys Roger even said he was playful this is him being playful
Regardless of what others say about Bob Geldof, he pulled off the impossible (at a time where there was no internet 🛜 and satellite 📡 broadcasting all across the world was difficult) for a really good cause.
I was a nine year old in my parents garden when it started in the UK, some of the bands didn't hold my attention but I came running in for so many, and to top it off Queen! Will never forget the day I'm getting closer and closer to 50 but the tragic famine and Live Aid will always be with me. All the best Abbi
That song came out in the early 80's, I was born in the late 80's. How am I supposed to know everything? I am just glad to hear that song now, better late then never.
They completely fucked it up themselves poor Phil was fantastic that day. I went off them that time. It's bad enough being shit, but, to blame someone else coz their so shit and cannot just get on with each other for 15 minutes! I mean Queen were having a bit of a rough time and were completely honest about it in this documentary. Then they went out and sent the bench mark so high no-one could better it. Miss Queen a lot.
@@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966 it wasn't fighting or just hat they were on drugs and hungover Page was said ot have been slobbery and Plant's voice was shot but Page was the main one insulting Phil to the press he never wanted Phil to join them on stage so he was probably being very spiteful to and about Phil Plant was supposedly very apologetic to Phil afterward and since then but there is absolutely no excuse for blaming Phil he was professional and on his game and as he said he could have walked off in the middle and left them onstage to look foolish but he kept drumming even if it was pretended part of the time because he is professional and he knew why he was there to help those kids not showoff if they were not in thecondition to play they should have dropped out or better the night before the biggest gig in the world Don't get trashed or the day of?
@@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966people seem to forget that they played two major concerts to several thousand people at Rock at Rio (Brazil) that January. Those two concerts were broadcasted to 60 different nations and 200 million people They weren’t totally down and out, their time in the U.K. might have been down a little but they had no issue selling tickets in Britain at the time
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this series!!! It was GREAT!!! I Know I watched it, but I just don't remember and it really Bothers me that I don't. I am Very Glad to see the Behind the Scenes stuff as well as see some of the acts. I Have seen Duran Duran's performance, I LOVE Them, but it was Definitely NOT their finest hour...or 20 minutes, as it were. But, it was all about the coming together to play and for those of us watching, to give Money to help these Poor people. The Bands Gave of Themselves.
Led Zeppelin - great in their day and that was it. Live Aid was them stuck right up their own arses. Blaming a consummate professional Phil Collins who did his best. As he said “Queen nailed it an a way no one else did.”
4:49 When Moyet, Townsend, Geldof and Bowie joined Paul on stage, a DJ here in the states hollered out that a Beatles Reunion was taking place with Julian Lennon standing in for his father. Rumor had it that this would happen because George Harrison had flown into London on business the week of the concert. The DJ, to her creidt, backpedaled almost immediately.
Page was probably drunk and on drugs Phil said he (Page) was slobbering and Plant's voice was shot Plant wanted Phil up there is the story he invited him Jimmy was unhappy about that and he probably is the one who blamed Phil in the press from what I read Robert Plant was very apologetic to Phil about how he was treated they were trashed and they knew it
@kezncurt The song "This Is The Day" by the group The The(yes that's the band's actually name). The song was also used in an M&M's commercial two or three years ago.
what a great day , a time when music was proper music , not like the garbage today..a well worthy cause at the time..just sad that 27 years on , they're still poor , still starving and still dying.
@blachubear Nice one mate, thanks alot. I appreciate it. Been doing my head in that, ever since I watched the documentary for the first time years ago. Ha ha. Thanks again fella.
Phil, next time Jimmy Page is asking you :"How does it go?", you say: "First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is..." Capiche ?!!
@@aprilgosa5779 it didn’t have the balls to tell him or Plat straight before or on the day that Phil’s services were not wanted Surely if he was adamant that that he didn’t want Phil, (who despite being a top drummer was seriously uncool ) he would have made arrangements earlier and get his own drummer in
Considering this is the sixth and final part of a three-hour documentary on Live Aid, it would be odd if they didn't end it with the end of the show itself. Queen played their main set three hours before Paul(although when Paul entered the stage, Freddie and Brian May had just done a bonus song; with them as well having had technical difficulties). As fond as I may be of Queen, I think it would be nice to have some perspective on who's who here. For a British band, Queen had done remarkably well in America before Live Aid in 1985, with two of their songs getting to number one in the American charts[Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites the Dust]. The guys in Genesis managed the same feat in 1986. (In the 2000s, Adele managed four!) Paul McCartney would have had nine(9!)...AFTER The Beatles: Uncle Albert(Admiral Halsey), My Love, Band On the Run, Listen To What the Man Said, Silly Love Songs, With a Little Luck, Coming Up, Ebony and Ivory and Say Say Say. (Most of these with Wings) As he would have had at least a dozen[20 actually] as a member of The Beatles, there shouldn't be ANY question who ranks highest in the pecking order of pop! This is just a fact! And 20 years later, of course, it didn't matter if you were Bono...if Paul McCartney wanted to open AND close the show, who was going to tell him 'No, you can't!'?
@@EmileJoulbert .if Paul McCartney wanted to open AND close the show, who was going to tell him 'No, you can't!'? They would probable say that is fine, uuh can you do the middle part as well????
Learn to spell. Your illiteracy is offensive . Mercury was spoken about , they even interviewed his band mates and showed clips of the concert. Bob , in the interview , said that they were magnificent Paul McCartney was a member of THE most important popular music band in the world and certainly out of Britain. It was appropriate that that was discussed . It was also appropriate that it was Pete Townsend and David Bowie , actual 1960s peers , who went onto the stage with him . They lived and survived the 1960s music industry The point made was , the Show needed credibility and weight to get the attention of the politicians ie the people that can make debt and famines go a way. Getting Macca on stage was a very big deal Jesus some fanboys and girls really are simpletons .
where did the money go to it really didn't do much. The government probably got it and not the people. there has to be a way that this country can help themselves with the money if they even got any, I am talking about the really people not the government.
LIVE AID Just wouldn't work today. There's no truly awesome performers, personalities, musicians or artists that have been allowed onto the stage. There's only fake manufactured celebrities with sterile music they didn't even write in the first place. That's because even music itself has been turned into a business. Real musicians don't do it for profit. They do it because they face torment otherwise. Music is stale now. That's the way it will be unless something drastic happens.
Music was ALWAYS A BUSINESS . Jesus I cringe over ignorant stuff like that You do realise that before the likes of Bob Dylan and The Beatles, most pop stars of the day sang songs written by others . There use to be offices and buildings dedicated to songwriters who worked in them . That continued in the 1980s with Stock Aitken Waterman. Much of the 1980s music was utter rubbish . Brutal . That includes the material of groups more famous in either the 1960 or 1980s eg Macca, Rolling Stones etc Read up on people like Burch Bacharach and Elvis’s manager “Colonel Parker” . No matter the decade, record companies existed to make PROFIT . Bands needed when they were losing money
Bono made a total twat of himself that day , even during his own band’s performance. Yeah, watch the whole performance of that band aid song at the end . He was eying up everyone and making sure that he was in the front . Worse than a school boy
Jimmy Page was just mad cuz he couldn't play his guitar and Phil was rocking the drums that night thats what happens when you party too hard you get hungover or he was still high either one
Some of the comments people are making, who gives a crap, this was not a tribute concert for your Freddie, (some people act like he was god..... not)or a contest who performed what, or who or better, this is everyone coming together to raise money for all those starving to death right this very minute, do you not give a shit what this was really all about.
I miss the compassion this world and especially here. What the feck has gone wrong in his poxy uk? No compassion here at all any more it's all self self bloody self. If I could bugger off some country that has more compassion. Even though I live in Scotland it's getting like there here to. Totally we once had 'The Young Ones, spitting Image and other sorts of comedy to show young people you CAN change things!
Benjamin Joseph Kidd-Bentley exactly and now Scotland's minister wants to break up the United Kingdom? I am American, and I live in England, and I love Scotland, and love Scottish people, I've had so many wonderful holidays and vacations in Scotland and it would break my heart if she broke up the United Kingdom. I do hope it doesn't happen. She doesn't represent all of Scotland, only some of the people want independence, but most don't. I hope she doesn't get what she wants. 300 years of of United countries, would come to an end. She's being so selfish. I'm so sorry if that offends any Scottish people common but that's just my considered view. I am now a naturalized British citizen having lived here since 1987, with a British wife, and British kids, and see myself as a British person. I pray this great country stays together.
Ireland needs a Live Aid right now Bob.....I wish Bono would speak up right now for Ireland as much as he speaks for Africa....the goverment are destroying and wiping out families as i write this.
Bob is a West Brit and always was . No thanks . I know what you said was 11 years ago and I’d have to ask , what the fuck are you talking about out ? The economy had started to improve by 2013 and 2014 . Bono was in the news back then for the bands taxes being based in the Netherlands . Bono was also like Bob , always talking down about Ireland and trying to be American
+Jeasper Krøll crap zepplin non performance was utter shite. They were a bunch of cunts and decided to blame Phil Collins for their shitty performance, arseholes.
I’m absolutely no defender of Phil Collins but It was simply unfair of led zeppelin blame him for that awful performance at live aid they were both out of it and sub standard
My poor and the most loved and adored Freddie holding that fucked up beatle! Did he say a word of condolence on Freddie's passing? Shit! FREDDIE MERCURY is the only genius there!
live aid 2015... please don't have the following.... justin beiber, maroon 5, jason derulo, nickelturd, linkin park, taylor swift, and any other current top 40 bullshit. stick to the good stuff. get the smiths to reunite!
oh and let's not forget Elton John, Duran2 AND Madonna. too bad MJ and Prince couldn't or wouldn't join in. did MJ get his fire accident just b'fore the event?? Still... like Tina would say, this event was...SIMPLY THE BEST.

Paul McCartney is a pro. What a graceful way to handle a bad situation!
Being unrehearsed, as he admitted, is not a professional approach.
We still love Freddie Mercury; the world continues appreciating the wonder and fantastic results of 1985's Live Aid as Queen's 20 minute concert still entertains, remaining a constant reminder even here in 2024.
Everyone knows Queen were head and shoulders above everyone that day. They still are to this day.
Absolutely!! Freddie stole the show!
Bob Geldof being himself was what was needed to get things done and why the Divine power/ fate chose him to do such a wonderful thing.
Good on ya mate.
Simply amazing. Bob and Midge are heroes! Thanks for this!

***** whats 1954 or 1955 got to do with it, live Aid was in 1985
I'd be alive to see it...........
THEY WERE ALL ROCK GODS FOR PERFORMING AT LIVE AID!
I like how everyone insults him at the end and Brian May just says 'superb human being'
Michael Dowie yea those insults are teasing LOL Bob could be hard but that got Live Aid done LOL
Nothing weirder than hearing a Christmas song in July, in the sweltering heat
Actually, that's the way they do it in the southern hemisphere in December.
We live in a world in 2013 where 1 footballer 'costs' more than was raised and sent to Africa 30 years ago...think about that
One reason I hate football

Live Aid is all about the Queen.
Those who are not Queen fans don't think so. To me Live Aid was the overall, not just one band.
Cheers - never noticed you'd commented to this - nice to know that someone else loves good music & can see a genius at work.
AMAZING
WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER LIKE THIS TODAY
I'm waiting for the fireworks while they're singing the Christmas song in the end 😂
That song came out in the early 80's, I was born in the late 80's. How am I supposed to know everything? I am just glad to hear that song now, better late then never.
Paul had a Bridget Jones moment with his mic x Things happen...97% of Live Aid was still perfect!
led zep should have simply declined to do it, its seems like an ego trip gone wrong
fruitcake4t yes and how dare they blame Phil he is a master on the drums they were just shitfaced

LIVE AID Just wouldn't work today. There's no truly awesome performers, personalities, musicians or artists that have been allowed onto the stage. There's only fake manufactured celebrities with sterile music they didn't even write in the first place. That's because even music itself has been turned into a business. Real musicians don't do it for profit. They do it because they face torment otherwise. Music is stale now. That's the way it will be unless something drastic happens.
Music was ALWAYS A BUSINESS . Jesus I cringe over ignorant stuff like that
You do realise that before the likes of Bob Dylan and The Beatles, most pop stars of the day sang songs written by others . There use to be offices and buildings dedicated to songwriters who worked in them . That continued in the 1980s with Stock Aitken Waterman. Much of the 1980s music was utter rubbish . Brutal . That includes the material of groups more famous in either the 1960 or 1980s eg Macca, Rolling Stones etc
Read up on people like Burch Bacharach and Elvis’s manager “Colonel Parker” .
No matter the decade, record companies existed to make PROFIT . Bands needed when they were losing money
Robert plant fail years later in the freddie Mercury tribute siging Innuendo.
Bono grabbing the mic from McCartney tlso he had it for himself.....he is such a git!
Bono made a total twat of himself that day , even during his own band’s performance. Yeah, watch the whole performance of that band aid song at the end . He was eying up everyone and making sure that he was in the front . Worse than a school boy
what's the song after Bob said "let's go home"?
What is that song at the end?
12:23 now that's some sexy swearing
classy guy
Jimmy Page was just mad cuz he couldn't play his guitar and Phil was rocking the drums that night thats what happens when you party too hard you get hungover or he was still high either one
Some of the comments people are making, who gives a crap, this was not a tribute concert for your Freddie, (some people act like he was god..... not)or a contest who performed what, or who or better, this is everyone coming together to raise money for all those starving to death right this very minute, do you not give a shit what this was really all about.
It's about Queen
Yes it is about Freddie and Queen. We love Freddie to no end💖💖💖
2:55
lol nice one.
Nona Hendryx I think
I miss the compassion this world and especially here.
What the feck has gone wrong in his poxy uk? No compassion here at all any more it's all self self bloody self.
If I could bugger off some country that has more compassion. Even though I live in Scotland it's getting like there here to.
Totally we once had 'The Young Ones, spitting Image and other sorts of comedy to show young people you CAN change things!
Benjamin Joseph Kidd-Bentley exactly and now Scotland's minister wants to break up the United Kingdom?
I am American, and I live in England, and I love Scotland, and love Scottish people, I've had so many wonderful holidays and vacations in Scotland and it would break my heart if she broke up the United Kingdom.
I do hope it doesn't happen. She doesn't represent all of Scotland, only some of the people want independence, but most don't. I hope she doesn't get what she wants. 300 years of of United countries, would come to an end.
She's being so selfish. I'm so sorry if that offends any Scottish people common but that's just my considered view.
I am now a naturalized British citizen having lived here since 1987, with a British wife, and British kids, and see myself as a British person. I pray this great country stays together.
Warlords have no heart; that's why they're warlords.
Ireland needs a Live Aid right now Bob.....I wish Bono would speak up right now for Ireland as much as he speaks for Africa....the goverment are destroying and wiping out families as i write this.
Bob is a West Brit and always was . No thanks . I know what you said was 11 years ago and I’d have to ask , what the fuck are you talking about out ? The economy had started to improve by 2013 and 2014 . Bono was in the news back then for the bands taxes being based in the Netherlands . Bono was also like Bob , always talking down about Ireland and trying to be American
Why is part 5 blocked??
+Jeasper Krøll crap zepplin non performance was utter shite. They were a bunch of cunts and decided to blame Phil Collins for their shitty performance, arseholes.
+Rebeccah Mania
Led Zep's performance has hardly anything to do with Warner blocking Part 5...
Jesus LED Zeppelin wasn’t good 😭 and Paul was amazing after that
Feckin Thatcher.
I’m absolutely no defender of Phil Collins but It was simply unfair of led zeppelin blame him for that awful performance at live aid they were both out of it and sub standard
And he initially invited robert plant to join..no led zep reunion were planned.. thats how he got rewarded ..ungrateful bastards .
Africa is starving because of the West
My poor and the most loved and adored Freddie holding that fucked up beatle! Did he say a word of condolence on Freddie's passing? Shit! FREDDIE MERCURY is the only genius there!
ADAM ANT
@buckfastbee YES
live aid 2015... please don't have the following.... justin beiber, maroon 5, jason derulo, nickelturd, linkin park, taylor swift, and any other current top 40 bullshit. stick to the good stuff. get the smiths to reunite!
oh and let's not forget Elton John, Duran2 AND Madonna. too bad MJ and Prince couldn't or wouldn't join in. did MJ get his fire accident just b'fore the event?? Still... like Tina would say, this event was...SIMPLY THE BEST.
Proofs that zeppelin isn t the best band ever... Even if the drummer was off, they could have adjusted to that.
The English crying about being rude etc to cover their ineptitude
page was fucked up - as usual
that's because none of the money raised got where it needed to go.
F-f-f-f-f-f...
