"Freddie Mercury's performance at Live Aid has recently been voted by various artists, journalists and music industry executives as the greatest live performance of all time in rock music"

I've been told that WIKIPEDIA allows ANYONE to add material, which might explain the above comment! You could just as easily add a comment stating that it was deemed the worst in history. lol
It's not quite that easy as sources for that type of "opinion" are required. For the above comment, here is the link to the poll: Queen win greatest live gig poll
For me, the best live performance I've ever seen was at Live Aid but it was U2's version of Bad. Unreal...
