Watch Queen’s incredible 1985 Live Aid performance
28 years ago today was one of the greatest performances in rock history. Queen played Wembley Stadium in London as part of Live Aid to benefit the famine in Ethiopia. From The Telegraph:
Live Aid, on July 13, 1985, was the greatest live concert ever staged and a day that no one who saw it will ever forget. Apart from the audiences at the transatlantic events (72,000 at Wembley Stadium in London; 99,000 at the John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia), it was estimated that another two billion people in 60 countries watched it on television. There was one thing that everybody agreed on: Queen’s mind-blowing 20-minute set stole the show.
