It's available as part of a Live Aid DVD Box Set too Des - along with many other performances on that day. You are quite correct, Queen stole the biggest pop show on Earth by miles.

Even non - Queen fans were blown away by that performance. Next best IMHO, were, then relatively new kids on the block U2.

Agreed - although Queen managed to get 5 songs in while U2 preferred to let their 2nd one go one for about a week  ;)

Toky, I'm so jealous!   ;)

But agree with all the above, that was one the best performances ever, by anyone!  There was no-one to rival Freddie on his day.
