| simps 17.01.2007 21:17 |
If you could redo the set list for the Live Aid set from any of there albums or songs,what would you have done it as?Here's mine. 1. One Vision 2. We Will Rock You (Fast) 3. Live killers Medely (DOTL,KQ,INLWMC) 4. Bohemian Rhapsody (Full version [with live opera] 5. We Will Rock You (Slow) 6. Friends Will Be Friends 7. We Are The Champions 8. God Save The Queen (Live[Not Playback]) |

Soooooo, have them play: 1) two songs that weren't written yet; 2) songs that had been out of the set list (WWRYfast, DOTL, KQ, IILWMC) for several years, 3) a song that never featured a live opera when performed in concert, 4) the national anthem, that they never played live before, and 5) a forty-ish minute set as compared to the standard twenty minutes... Frankly, Queen's set was perfect. If anything, I'd've had The Who perform THEIR biggest hits (Who Are You, Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again) and the song Pete Townshend wrote for the occasion (After The Fire) than change anything that Queen did. |

At least we saw them do Who Are You at Live 8, and not too shabbily either. |

I more preferred their Concert For NYC set, mostly because it had The Ox in it and two more songs (though I can't stand Behind Blue Eyes -- don't throw things at me!). I mean, Love Reign O'er Me is a wonderful, wonderful song -- one of my favorites -- but it's not for Live Aid. I can see why Pinball Wizard and My Generation were played, but to not have performed Baba O'Riley is just a sin. |

It was perfect as it was....though in the ideal world I'd have brought Bowie on for a live Under Pressure-then it would have been perfectly perfect! |
| john bodega 18.01.2007 05:20 |
Watching them clown around at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again remains (to me) a great Who moment, even if ol' Keith wasn't there. Who Are You at Live 8... I'm probably alone in this, but I kinda like the heavier sound that Starkey gives it, as opposed to the guy who played at Live 8 (I've just had a brain freeze, forgive me...) All told though, Live 8 was a good show on the part of the older bands. PINK FLOYD, fucks sake!! |
| Gratzi 18.01.2007 07:58 |
Oh... How I would like to redo Live Aid... Here's the list of songs I would like them to play : 1. Bo-Rap ( short version) 2. All God's People 3. Let Me Live 4. We Will Rock You ( for those who didn't come to the concert specially for Queen) 5. Friends Will Be Friends 6. The Show Must Go On and towards the end of the show - of course - 'Is This The World We Created?' & 'One Vision'. |

Instead of Hammer To Fall or CLTCL, I would have had AOBTD or I Want To Break Free as the latter two were surely bigger hits. Plus each member would have had one of their songs in the setlist; wonder if John felt sore about it... |
| chazz12345 18.01.2007 15:18 |
Bo Rap We will rock you ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST Crazy Little thing called love Killer Queen We are the champions On that day Radio Ga Ga was fantastic, but it was a song that could be performed badly, but that day they nailed it so it'd have to be included. Hammer to fall is the only one that kinda ruins it!! Why didnt they play AOBTDust (besides it being about saving peoples lives)...? |
| Smitty 18.01.2007 16:02 |
The most distasteful thing they could do is play AOBTD. |

Nothing, live aid rocked |
| brENsKi 19.01.2007 17:25 |
no. let's play along. where does this progress to? well if we change live aid...then let's change queen's previous tours, albums and even the line up so how about queen being Art garfunkel, half of bucks fizz, and two thirds of hanson? and how about they only perform sogns from T'Pau's back catatlogue? 'nuff said! |

Singing 'Another One Bites The Dust', which means 'another one dies'... is a no-no during the Live Aid concert, since the cause for the concert was to get money for food and supplies to people in Africa, who were DYING. |

Freddie rocked to that more than he ever has, and it's the best version out of like 8 different concert recordings I have of the song! |
| john bodega 20.01.2007 12:19 |
I like his performance of Hammer to Fall better at Live Aid. I also like the idea of doing the shorter version of the song. However, the drum sound at Live Aid really was pretty pisspoor.... that is the one thing that has always bugged me. |
| chazz12345 22.01.2007 11:28 |
ya the drum sound is kinda lousy. like we will rock you it sounds weak. but on the other hand i thought brians guitar sound was great |

1. Tie Your Mother Down (00.00-3.20) 2. Hammer To Fall (3.20-7.31) 3. Don't Stop Me Now (7.31-10.22) 4. Under Pressure + Vocal improvisation (10.22-15.01) 5. Bohemian Rhapsody Without Opera (15.01-18.48) 6. We Will Rock You (18.48-20.00) Tie Your Mother Down because it was a great live song. Hammer To fall because it was an even better live song. Don't Stop Me Now because it is my favorite song. Under Pressure because it was a great live song. Vocal improvisation because it just has to be there. Bohemian Rhapsody because it just had to be there. They should have remade the solo after the ballad a bit and went into the rock part of the song, skipping the opera in a nice way. We Will Rock You because it just had to be there. |

You'll not only improve your spelling, but you'll also learn to tolerate people with different tastes, as for once you'll have a social life and will interact with several different people, who like different things and will punch you and steal your money every lunch break if you keep insulting the bands they like. |

I didn’t know you had a little friendship going on, if I knew I would have said more! Yes I did put the post about being single, so what, I must be a real low life.. But as for respect and me being a cunt, I am what ever you say I am. But you do sound single by the way. Now, if I could re-do Live Aid (the day), I would get myself over to England to see that concert instead of being satisfied to sit at home and watch it on TV. |

"Hhmmm.... But didnt they pick on me first? Or does that just seem to pushed aside?" Come now chap. Of the eight or nine odd people who have thrown verbal abuse at me during my time at QZ, only one of them actually amounts to anything in the scheme of things. The rest are all dead losses - it's not worth getting worked up over if they shit you. |

"True Dat... But it does get annoying when there is a little network of pals who think there all so cool." Well.... what can one do, really? I for one would wish that people who've ragged on me would understand that I *really* don't take myself all that seriously. No one can make fun of me better than I can! There should be a shake hands button on QZ. Really. Things aren't worth fighting over. |

Noo, freddie didnt sing that line because he had just finished grinding the camera man and the mic wasnt near enough his mouth to pick it up, you can see him sing it, just not hear it :PHmm I'm pretty sure the 'decay' line was deliberately left out. If you look closely, Freddie is speaking but not saying the lyrics. Plus Brian plays a note on the guitar which is not usually played at that part of the song. |
