4. it gives me chills whenever I think about it
a rock and roll singer going note for note with an opera singer. Amazing.

7. I had the chance, and it's one of my biggest regrets
I was living in England when Live Aid happened, but I didn't think about getting tickets. I could always catch the individual acts later...

For some reason, I never did. I was pretty pathetic at doing things I wish now I had done. :D

11. my brothers wouldn't let me go to Live Aid in Philly
Getting me a t-shirt (which I still wear though it's so worn it's practically see-through) was supposed to compentate. I'm still pissed about that, but because of the heat that day I would have passed out for sure.

16. I saw them at Boston Garden in the late 70's and I really never
could fucking stand them. I went because my friend Cheryl insisted on going (she made me see Village People at the Garden with her as well) I love loud/hard rock but i always thought their songs were goof/novelty songs and Freddy Mercury's voice is irritating to me. Bohemian Rhapsody makes me CRINGE.

8. I prefer the Live Aid performance to all others.
Maybe it's the crowd and Freddie feeding off of the crowd or something but the Live Aid performance is by far my favorite. I'll never get tired of watching it.

22. Wembley
Queen forever!
I chose a lesser known song (clip 13/14...all are just amazing)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqjfb0ZDt4w&feature=related

I was so fortunate to see Queen live in concert and yes, this was THE song at the time...
