Jul 13, 1985 (39 years ago) Wembley Stadium London, England, United Kingdom
Live Aid took place in both London and Philadelphia where it was then broadcast globally along with performances from over half a dozen other countries. It remains one of the most well-known benefit concerts of the 20th century, notably for bringing together such a diverse cast of rock n' roll artists together to help raise funds to support relief efforts during the 1983 - 1985 Ethiopian famine. Queen's performance was widely regarded as one of their best and was showcased on the 2007 special edition of "Queen Rock Montreal."

Great gig Number 4 is Live Aid, Wembley Stadium, 13 July 1985 I queued for about 4-5 hours at the HMV shop, then in Merchant Street, Bristol. But had arrived early and got reasonable seats opposite the Royal Box. Our second trip to Wembley Stadium in eight days. A great, great sunny day with so many amazing performances that the DVD does not do justice. Left the Stadium with the rest of the crowd, singing, “Feed the World”, drove home like an idiot to catch the remainder of the day from the US and see Bob, Keith and Ron screw up. An unforgettable experience.
