I just finished watching the Live Aid DVD and couldn't be more proud of being a Queen fan. Queen's performances were the best, and our boys totally dominated the audience. Especially Freddie. However, there's one thing bother me though. Why on earth they put Mick Jagger and David Bowie's "Dancing in the streets" in this set of DVDs? I don't think it's Live Aid or famine related. Anyone can help me out here? |

Well I'm a proud fan of Queen even without the Live Aid DVD! ; ) |

queen were great, they really did steal the show, though i'm not too sure about John's hairdo! |
| Lapetsu 23.11.2004 03:37 |

The more I see it, the more I'm moved and the more I want to say "Thank you, Freddie, Brian, Roger, John! Freddie, you are still the KING!" |

Did they show Queen a lot? |
| Giacco 73 23.11.2004 14:17 |
Queen is the best (live) band ever! |
| RockitPJ 25.11.2004 07:29 |
Yeah I remember when Live Aid was first shown on TV a lot of my friends dismissed Queen as being gay, and made stupid music. After some of them seen how Queen blew everyone away with their performance, my friends had nothing to say. What a moment!!!! Everyone at my job who seen the live aid concert still talk about that one Queen performance. |

Jagger and Bowie wanted first to do sing the duet from USA and the UK, but the sattelite connection gives 1 or 2 seconds delay, so that was not possible, so instead they made the video! |

i really want to see it! im getting it (when i can be bothered to get my arse to the shops and buy it!) and Bowie and Jaggers 'dancing in the streets'? 'Radio Ga Ga' has nothing to do with starving children in Africa, yet they still played it! two of the biggest names at the time performed a song at a charity concert... that must of raised quite a bit of cash for the children. its not about song choice, its about the children (as cliched as that sounds) and how much money Bob Geldof could help raise for them! besides, i think its a pretty good song! Ahh! i was deep and meaningful, well as close as I'll ever get to it!!! |
| My Melancholy Blues 25.11.2004 13:18 |
Today I watched it for the ? times. I was so excited again! John is very cute in his pink shirt. :-) |

Proton, thanks for clarifying the "Dancing in the streets" video for me coz I had no idea about it. And when I saw the video, I just didn't know why it was included in Live Aid set. |

I'm always proud to be a Queen fan. I have to get that DVD :P |

By the way, if it's a contest between Brits and Yanks, Brits totally dominated. IMO. |

It's true. Disc four is worthless. |
| proton 26.11.2004 10:11 |
buy it at amazon.com, only 35 dollars (27 euro's!)incl. p&p !!! Better than de 50 euro's they ask here in the shop... some even dare to ask 60 euro's!! |
| kleinhond 07.12.2004 15:14 |
they should have included Jack Nicholson's original live intro to Dancing In The St on the DVD |
| LittQueenie 07.12.2004 16:35 |
I have to agree - the UK show was much better than the American one.....Queen's performance certainly outdid them all! Their sound was brilliant and when Freddie was messing around with the cameraman, well, that was funny as hell! The audience loved it also! :-) |
| brENsKi 07.12.2004 17:18 |
i can't believ this thread.... why would anyone need to justify being a queen fan by saying they are "proud"? you are a fan of a band because you like their music...it's not some cause of the age people, we're not tlaking about standing up for improtant beliefs - freedom of speech, incarceration, religion, racism, or political freedom here....it's fucking music...enjoy...don't make it into a cause, because it's meant to be fun |

Great Queen moment for me. . . I went to the Virgin megastore in NY last week, which usually isn't a special moment, but as I walk in I hear the opening notes of Bohemian Rhapsody. . . they are playing the Queen Live Aid performance not only on the big screen, but on every TV on the floor at full volume (the floor was skaking it was so loud!). People were literally stopped in their tracks watching it. Some were singing along. I have to say I got a little teary eyed. |
| karen 07.12.2004 22:45 |
Yep, sometimes you forget after a while how great they really where - then you just have to watch them again and it brings it all back. They were great at Live Aid, and their music is still great now!! |
| Mr.Jingles 07.12.2004 23:22 |
The only artist who could have perhaps stolen the show at Live Aid along with Queen, would have been Michael Jackson. He didn't perform. |
| rendezvous 08.12.2004 16:11 |
Why do some people always want to tell others what's right or what's wrong? I feel proud because that's how I felt when I watched them performing. It's like seeing somebody close to you doing great, you just feel proud of them. Queen is underrated in the States, and watched them outperformed American artists really makes me proud. So what's wrong with that? Remember, everyone is unique, so don't tell others what to write, what to say, what to think or how to feel. |
| brENsKi 08.12.2004 16:32 |
but how are THEY close to you? they're not your friends they're not your relatives you don't even know them it's a fact of like - you can't feel proud of their music - bcause YOU didn't have any input into it's creation you can enjoy their music, and feel pleased that you discovered it. you can even feel pleased with your own taste in music...but in english...both grammatically and emotionally - you cannot feel proud to be a fan....that's like feeling proud of yourself for liking ice cream |
| rendezvous 08.12.2004 18:15 |
Why can't I feel proud to be a Queen fan? That's how I feel, and why can't I say so? If you don't feel that way, that's your problem, not mine. This is ridiculous. Why do I have to explain myself to you? Who do you think you are to judge other people? Please keep this in mind: You entitle to your opinions, but your opinions are not necessary right for others. You don't know others' feelings or experiences, so don't speak for others. |

Queen had a flawless performance. Pink Floyd's David Gilmour did well with Bryan Ferry although his guitar was out of commission for the first two numbers before he switched to his candy apple red Strat which he uses today. Unfortunately, Queen's performance was ignored in America and was pre-empted. When I watched Live Aid I was stoked when Led Zep reunited and Zep was the highlight at Live Aid in the US no matter how bad they said they played the crowd went nuts when Zep reunited! Queen stole the show at the UK performance! |
