I thought it was “Live AIDS”
I was there (philly) anxiously awaiting the return on the mighty Led Zeppelin. One of the most memorable days in my life and favorite experiences of all time. Loved every minute of being there.

What is really amazing is that they put on such a great show considering half the material wasn’t their classic hits, but songs from the synth-infused “Highlander” soundtrack and other obscure tunes like “Radio Gaga”.
I will never forget that performance. I remember seeing it. Freddie Mercury is one of those rare entertainers that comes along. Wow you can see how he interacts with his audience and how they interact back to him. Not many entertainers have that strong charisma and relationship with their fan like Freddie Mercury. Also he has a very strong voice which makes him unique. It is a shame Aids took a great entertainer and person. Yes! I know he is gay but he is not “in your face” gay nor where there scandals about him like Boy George or George Michael.
Had he live today, he would be giving us more great tunes. Yet Freddie was not just a mere Rock n’ Roller, but he also was into Opera. LOL
RIP Freddie you and your talent is great missed.
O by the way, thank you for posting this. Brought a smile to me. =)
I saw Queen several times and the first was the best. It was in Indianapolis in ‘76 during the “Night at the Opera” tour. In the weeks leading up to the show the opening act was “to be announced”. The night of the show that opening act turned out to be a band nobody had heard of yet named “Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band”. Seger almost blew Queen off the stage. One hell of a concert.

Gay or not. Freddy was one of the best.
Has it really been 30 years? I remember being completely mesmerized by Freddy’s performance. RIP Freddy. There is no one today like you.
I suddenly feel old.

Stick around till 'Is This The World We Created'
I saw Queen on their first American tour, way back when? Also on the bill, Kansas and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. I remember saying, that Queen singer is quite flamboyant.
Daily Motion is the French version of YouTube, check them out for Doctor Who episodes. Use your imagination... Also, Sherlock, Ab Fab, etc.
As for Opera...
What? No rainbow flags? Guess that’s the difference between respect and advocacy. Did see a Lone Star flag though.
Somehow, though, I still managed to miss a lot of the highlight moments: Queen, Mick Jagger and Tina Turner's duet, Simon le Bon's voice cracking during "Wild Boys." On the other hand, I did catch Paul McCartney, Phil Collins on both sides of the Atlantic, and his sitting in on drums with Led Zeppelin.
I saw Queen at Madison Square Garden on 7/28/1982. A friend of mine dragged me because her friend cancelled last minute. It ended up being one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Freddie Mercury was outstanding. I walked out of there a Queen fan forever. (Incidentally, the trip down memory lane made me dig out my ticket stub - yeah, I kept it. The price on the ticket? $13.50. They were good seats, too!)
He was the guy with “that voice.”
U2’s “Bad” was the high point for me. And of course my liberal friend’s girlfriend lecturing us that we shouldn’t watch unless we donated.
U2 fans might beg to differ.
