One of the most popular fan pages of Freddie Mercury on Instagram, Freddie_Mrcry, uploaded an exclusive photo of Freddie and revealed the story of the fan who listened to Queen live at Live Aid.
This fan wrote that the British fans and media were prejudiced about Queen, but it completely changed at the Live Aid after almost all of them captivated by Freddieย Mercury on the stage. In this way, Queen proved that they are the best live performance band in the world.
Here is the story of the fan:
“I saw them 3 times. The first was at Live Aid, the second at Wembley, and the 3rd their final ever concert which was at Knebworth in the UK. I’ve seen some amazing bands, Paul McCartney, Springsteen, Meatloaf, Roger Waters, Guns N Roses, ZZ Top, Elton John, U2, but there is absolutely nothing like a Queen concert. Every time I was just blown away by their performance.
Truly amazing. So many great songs and Freddie had the crowd enraptured. I think it summed up at Live Aid. Every band had the same set, same conditions, the same audience. Big names like Bowie, Elton, The Who, Dire Straits. Queen at that stage were alit bit disliked by UK crowds and media. But that was the day they absolutely blew everyone out of the water.
At the end of the concert walking back to the tube station through the tunnels, the whole crowd was singing a mess rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. Hearing that sound echoing through the tunnels just summed up the impact that they had on that concert. And still gives me goosebumps thinking about it today, over 30 years after the event.”
A fan named Becky added this comment:
“That’s so mind-blowing how packed in there they were ๐๐”
Another fan named Anne wrote:
“Wow canโt imagine how exciting being on the front row. That must have been incredible.”
