Always nice to hear the rehearsal stuff - thanks Chief.
No wonder why people say Queen were the best band at Live Aid - they took their shit seriously and rehearsed (plus having Freddie in top shape helps)!

Indeed... but according to Brian May they play with Adam as good as in their heighdays or even better then ever...
chuckle.....
By the way... Radio Gaga, is the same song but with different camera shots. Must be two camera's filming, probably the News report one and the official Queen team camera.
I heard they played the complete footage a few years ago at the convention showing Hammer to fall and Crazy Little thing aswell.
Anyone can confirms this?
^ What do you mean? Obviously it's the same song, they just did it twice for whatever reason. It's definitely the same camera, they just did two performances and the official rehearsal video of Radio Gaga included in the Montreal+Live Aid DVD is an edit of both of these performances. It seems like this was the order they played it - Radio Gaga, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Gaga again.

Maybe they first did GaGa like "the last rehearsal, checking that we do all right, before mixing it with Bo Rhap".
And then, they played Bo Rhap (ballad section), to merge it with Radio GaGa.
Well they rehearsed for a week or so. Of course they performed each song many, many times. BTW I see Sikke "released" this already, did he also upload the full interview?
Thank you Chief and Sikke !
I haven't had enough of Live Aid yet, no matter how many times I watched them.
Seeing the rehearsal in almost complete version is such a joy.
Precious footage, and a very professional edit ^^
