First Time reaction: Queen Full Concert Live Aid 1985 - Psyche 

Live Aid was billed as a Global Jukebox! 🤩 Simply put the planets, galaxy, & universe lined up for these “Princes of the Universe” on that hot summer day in July 1985. Brian revealed that Queen thought their performance was “kind of okay”. Elton John said “Freddie, nobody should go on after you - you were magnificent.” 😃Freddie replied “You’re absolutely right , darling, we were - we killed them.” NOTE: Elton once commented that Rod Stewart once discussed the possibility of forming a supergroup and calling it Nose, Teeth, & Hair (Elton, Fred, Rod).

Some days this concert makes me insanely happy and other times I ball my eyes out knowing he is gone. He brings out the best in everyone. RIP Freddie. ❤

For my 80th birthday, my daughter made a cake with Freddie Mercury, drawn in icing on top, in a pose from Live Aid! My family knows I love him. Great reaction!

Freddie Mercury had a way of getting the audience to be part of the show

He was only 45 when he passed, brilliant entertainer!

I rarely see this pointed out, but if you look at the end of the set, the yellow light in front of Freddie gives way to a red light that indicates when the power was to be cut and Queen end their set exactly when that light changes. I also read somewhere that Freddie's "Ayoo" interaction with the crowd was unrehearsed and had to be compensated for by cutting short another song (i am guessing "We will rock you") so that just shows how tight the band was in meeting unexpected changes on the fly. Truly the greatest ever!

I love how he plays with the camera man during "The Hammer To Fall!"

Was there and was not even a fan til we heard Freddie. We also saw them at Wembley in 86 (both shows!!). Freddie and band so energetic. Thought for sure they’d be touring for more years. So glad they’ve kept Freddie and Queen memory alive. Such a talented intelligent band. RIP Freddie….

One of the all time greatest live performances. Summer 1985 I was 11 years old and Queen had the whole world under their spell. Mr Mercury is one of the all time greats. Flawless performance and the only bad thing was it had to end. Champions.

Well said about Queen especially Freddie Mercury presence and performance 🇦🇺🇳🇿💖💯...

I'm a 44 year old man and I've been a queen fan since I was a little kid. Every day I watch Queen videos and I have tears in my eyes... R.I.P Freddie Mercury 🙏 Greetings from Germany.

Freddie what a Legend.. I've never witnessed anything as good since.. Amazing

Absolutely incredible reaction! I felt those emotional moments. Legendary moment with Queen.

I was lucky enough to attend Live Aid absolutely amazing performance not only Freddie but let’s pay tribute to the amazing rest of the band who always gel together they are amazing musicians! Best band ever., I’ve seen Queen concerts many times throughout the 70s and 80s !

Tonight you may be in for another ride: It is the 30th anniversary of the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert held at Wembley - of cause - on April 20th 1992. You can see it livestreamed ?? for 48 hours - check RU-vid or QueenOfficial - .It is in 5 hours - 8 p.m. in Denmark. There is lots of megastars - all singing Queen songs - . Check it out.

Fantastic performance, Freddie really goes all out and considering he had a throat infection and his doctor told him not to sing, he really stepped up his game. He later said that singing on that day felt like he was gargling with shattered glass. I love this show, I always feel like I am right there in the crowd. Thank you for your reaction.

music fantastic, his moves phenominal!!

It never gets old, & like you in Radio Gaga, felt close to tears all the way through! Great reaction.

Freddie had a bad throat and was told by the doctor not to perform. However, he did and the rest is history.

Watching you react to Queen, that's how I feel every time I listen, since my dad gave me a copy of Flash Gordon back in 1983. God bless you!

Queen basically said, we have 20 minutes, how much can we shoehorn into that…. everyone else just turned up, queen put on a show…

Great reaction! Geldof has said that when trying to sign up Queen, he called Freddie and said “it’s the perfect stage for you…it’s the world.” Brian & Freddie come out for an encore with a song Geldof asked them to perform specifically. Is this the world we created. Just Brian, a 12 string & Freddie. Sometimes they give a hard time, but you could probably do the audio if you had to.

Such an amazing performance by Queen! It is so emotional, fun and entertaining all at once! It is AMAZING ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A superstar legend till the end of time. Enjoy.

Queen were way ahead of their time !!!!!

I feel the exact same way. Incredible talent that is loved worldwide.

Amazing reaction! You are amazing!

What an excellent choice this was, Psyche. I had seen bits and pieces but never watched all of that in one shot until now. And it seems to give even more goosebumps now because at the time, no one understood what was going on behind the scenes and that he would be leaving this world so soon.

Hi Psyche, yes started with a bang and never let up. My favourite Queen concert, always brings a tear with that outstanding performance and Freddie's passing. Just had my birthday, turned 65 and never get tired of watching. Each song stands alone but all together...speechless. Fantastic to see you finally experiencing this performance and I get to watch with you. Hope you get well soon Psyche, cheers Rich

True fact, Freddie was unwell with Laryngitis during this show, doctors told him not to perform but he rejected the advice and still performed

The best live band full stop. It is obvious how well they rehearsed this. Bang on to the minute they worked that setlist out. So clever to start with Borap and Cray Little thing called love is so global, love how they made it live set favorate with the extra guitar work to get the crowd in the dancing mood. Pure professionals.

Thanks so much for this! What a lovely treat to see this here today! Feeling a bit down today but this performance always perks me up! You're right, this was Freddie's day in the sun. Not only did Queen fans know he was the greatest performer ever but after this millions around the world knew. I'm glad he had this opportunity! He and the guys really deserved it! Hoping you're feeling better as well! Thanks again!

Excellent reaction, my dear. You really know what it's all about.

i hope this version includes them closing the show singing Is this the World we Created. So very apt.

They said that they couldn't hear one another on the stage, the sound quality was awful. But unlike some of the other acts, they had rigorously rehearsed their act to the second and you can see them using visual cues amongst themselves. Incredibly professional as well as an incredible performance. Freddie's voice was giving out near the end (he had been advised by his doctor not to perform) and you can hear Roger singing louder and louder trying to support him. Such a tight band.

Hope you get well. This is just an amazing concert session, love how you react. God it looks like the best time ever !!!! I have seen it a number of times...and half way thru was thinking...gee yer up for a great experience !!!

Freddie king of rock 🤘 alltime

Hey Psyche I watched this too absolutely amazing Queen live Freddy Mercury was amazing and Brian may on the guitar so cool and I love the drummer amazing 😎😎

Good reaction :) Best entertainer ever (i'll put him close with MJ), but he went farther, he had the best voice (still has to me :P), but he learned the piano and the guitar, that shows how comitted he was :) Not without saying as a band they're probably one of if not the best groups of musicians ever

God shows his grace to us in fleets big moments, but this was 20+ minutes of his talent on display.

Magnífico Queen!!Muchas gracias Psyche,que tengas una linda semana!!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍❤🙋

Both Freddie and the band are legendary rest in peace Freddie

Excellent 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love you mostly because Queen makes you cry.

Wow 🥰 loved your reaction liked already subscribed 😁 more queen reactions please 😍❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

Fantastic Queen ,I wish you an Easter of Love, concert this legendary Queen. 🏳️‍🌈🕊🏳️‍🌈☮️🇮🇹🌹🐣🐣🐣

This was far and away the BEST Queen reaction I have ever seen. It was obvious you had an emotional response to it from the beginning. You were watching every movement and listening to every note intensely. And you didn't pause it 200 times. Well done! 😄

Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, attended by about 72,000 people and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, US, attended by 89,484 people. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.

Getting emotional there. I don't blame you! You hit the nail on the head. Absolutely a time to remember.

U guys were always a class act. U knew when a star must shine. 💖

If freddie has said lets march on Downing Street, they would of done anything he said. Such was his gifts.

Queen is the bomb u would've know that freddie was advised by his dr not to sing cause of a throat infection and they still crushed it

Freddie lives on forever

Great reaction beautiful lady hope you feel better

Yo voy cumpliendo 60 así que ya sabras ,viví toda la época de Queen y ( entonces estaba joben claro 😊) y me enamoré de Freedy y recuerdo que me hacían burla porque me decían que era feo y me enojaba con ellas . La cuestión era su voz y toda su música 🎶 y para terminar pronto mis hijos aprendieron sus canciones e incluso uno de ellos tiene lo que es toda la colección de música y conciertos ! Yo lo sigo amando 😢😢 gracias por reaccionar a él mejor grupo de rock del mundo ❤

Beautiful And the reaction as well ☺️

Psyche Honey, I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been well.... I HOPE you're getting better now? And I hope being under the weather didn't spoil your Easter! Just so you know, Hon: At the end of that day during the closing numbers, Freddie & Brian had been asked ahead of time to take part and do an ENCORE; they performed: "IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED?" You NEED to see it to make your Live Aid experience complete! (I don't mean having to do a reaction - unless you chose to do so, of course... just watch it for your own enjoyment: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-riwDo7_GxjM.html I know everryyyone is going to tell you: Freddie had a throat infection and his Dr. didn't want him to perform, because it might injure his throat. When Fred got done with this set, he said his throat felt like he'd been "gargling with shards of glass" (his words). Every time I watch this performance (which is about once a week!) ...I always think about this: Freddie had begun a relationship with Jim Hutton earlier that year... (Next time you see pictures of Fred at Live Aid or anytime after, you'll notice he's wearing what resembles a wedding band on his RIGHT ring finger... because at this time, Gay Marriage was illegal.) But when they first met and first dated, Jim had NO IDEA who Freddie was. (I think that's why Fred was initially drawn to Jim, because he didn't need to worry if Jim's interest in him was just for his fame and money.) And, up until the day of Live Aid... Jim had still NEVER EVER seen Freddie and the band perform. So... Freddie invited Jim to come along with him on this day to see the band play, but ALL that cad Fred told Jim was that the band was going to perform at a charity show. THAT'S IT. (Naughty Freddie!) Poor Jim said he was "GOBSMACKED... I just followed him around all day like a puppy." (He also said that while Queen were onstage performing, he was watching on one of the screens backstage and thinking proudly "That's my guy!") I really hope you're feeling better, Psyche... You're looking BEAUTIFUL. (And I still LOVE those natural curls!) -Marcella

Freedie a showman love him queen a true band xx

Every time i watch this its just like Wow

Freddy you left us way too soon!!

What an astonishing performance. There will never be anyone on Freddie Mercury’s level. That guy was in stratosphere of his own. And what’s even crazier is that he had already been suffering from HIV for 3-4 years at this point, and nobody knew it, not even Freddie himself.

He was sick at this point. it’s amazing how he performed and died 6 years later. RIP

At times it looked as if you didn't know whether to laugh or cry x

I love your honest and pure reaction! ❤

Freddie Mercury was a true showman and never got to reach his full potential

Freddie will be the greatest frontman of all times !!!! And god save Queen

FANTASTIC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Freddy is so very missed 😢

I LOOoooved! Your reaction! This makes me emotional Every time I see it! Not for nothing but Knowing his Lyrics it’s worth a 2nd watch for people to actually hear and understand the lyrics they resonate with ALL PEOPLE so basic and pure and true. Unbelievable that they were performing last minute and Freddy against doctors advice with a walloping throat infection and they brought in over $1,000,000 pounds that day for live aid!! More than all the others combined for the 1st 6 hrs of that benefit show! His last concert was best before he had to stop performing live (bloody AIDS anyways💔 TRAGIC!) It was called SIMPLY Live At Wembley I’d like to close with this…. Before Micheal Jackson (who was just as brilliant) there was Freddy Mercury and Queen!!

In the first song he sang, the audience sang with him.

No puedo evitar seguir comentando ,en la última canción creo te paso lo que a mi ,una tristeza por ese cantante tan completo y encantador que ya no está con nosotros y lo perdimos tan joben . Yo siempre hago una oración en esos momentos 😢 ❤❤❤

I just subbed your channel, Psyche.. I like your style. I have discovered that the newer reactors have started competing with the performers by singing into their cameras/phones while the video is playing and they are missing a whole other part of the performance. As someone said below, just watching your expressions as the music played/Freddie sang told us exactly how you were feeling about the performance. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Take care and be well. Peace.

I don't usually do this, but I have been drawn to say this for a while now : I definitely love your hair like this. I know it is completely off topic and irrelevant, but it had to go out for some reason. Oh, and it was really nice listening to some Queen by your side. Note that you cut yourself a bit short at the end. Anyhow, happy Easter, hoping you are doing fine these days 🥰

The introduction to this is great. Too bad you didn’t open with it! I wonder how many of the Queen Live Aid react videos have seen the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” before watching this!

Interesting to know before Queen came on the telephones were very quiet after Queen left the stage the telephones went absolutely mad . Also remember this was not a Queen audience but we all knew the part . Also they were sound limiters the manager switched off which meant Queen we're louder than anyone else ,and Freddie was advised not to sing by his Doctors. Its just a masterclass by Queen I've seen it many , many times over the years and still just amazing to watch . We never see his like again and as long as people listen to music Queen will live forever.

performing Bohemian Rhapsody must’ve hit differently for the band at that moment

Freddie!

Gosto muito de ouvir está música que dá muita saudade de ouvir é pena que não esteja connosco lido

Único, inolvidable.muchas gracias👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👩‍⚕️😷🇪🇦💜😘👑

After Queen's set David Bowie had the unenviable task of following Queen and he exclaimed to Freddie How the f#$k am I supposed to follow that Freddie replied I Fu#$ing killed it

Much like running a few Olympic Games finals & each beating world record pace The 100 The 200 The 400 The 800 All within 20 minutes

Thanks - enjoyed the vid. Next Queen song you should check out is Somebody to Love - Montreal 1981. In my mind, even better than this. Cheers!

Hi you to listen to love of my life by Queen live you will enjoy

He commanded that crowd.

a Little Boy from Sanzibar that became the Greatest Showman of all

to think he performed this with a throat infection and told by drs not to go on......the measure of the man!!

Freddie and Brian came back on later if you watched a bit more.

👌👑🌠

Check out lead guitarist Brian May. Astrophysist and great musician and singer songwriter in his own right.

david bowie was on next and he said how the fck do i follow that

Fasts 20 min of your life.

Curious as to why you didn't watch Live Aid. You said you heard a bit of Madonnas set. Were you not into rock/pop in the 80s?

Thanks, Psyche! extraordinary performance as always.. don't know if anyone else sent you a link to the "encore" by Freddie & Brian, but it was awesome... (originally, there were technical problems, so this is the cleaned up version).. quite apropos... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-riwDo7_GxjM.html

Forgive me but I'm confused. At 00:30 you say that the only person you actually saw, 'because you were really busy that day' was Madonna. To have had any appreciation of what went on on that day, almost 37 years ago, you would have to have been at least 10 years old and I'm sure you don't look a day over 35, let alone 47! People would pay to go along and do all the singing themselves - as long as Freddie was there to conduct them! Only a band like Queen could get away with performing a self-penned song called 'We Are The Champions'!
