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. 03: Hammer To Fall 04: Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Also, I believe Freddie knew he was going to be on national TV for this performance and didn't want to "lower" the notes: So he probably rested his voice after "The Works Tour" until the days before Live AID so he could hit 100% of the high notes. (Just listen to We are the champions here, he maintained the high register during the chorus and didn't need roger to do it!)

I agree with everything you just said. If you compare the line "Rich or poor, or famous, for your truth is all the same" here, to a year later at wembley, he hits the high A's and B's, but drops them to D's and E's at wembley.

Greatest FRONT MAN that ever lived. I had the priviledge to see the man Live in 82. Anyone who wants to be a singer, study Freddie.
