There's never been a show quite like Queen at Live Aid.
At the time of Live Aid, Queen was still recovering from the critical and commercial disappointment of 1982 album"Hot Space." The band was on hiatus from recording, and star singer Mercury had just released his poorly received solo album,"Mr. Bad Guy." So when they took the stage at Wembley for an early evening set, they wanted to silence the naysayers.
They settled on a six-song, 22-minute set: starting with"Bohemian Rhapsody," and leading into"Radio Ga Ga,""Hammer To Fall,""Crazy Little Thing Called Love,”"We Will Rock You," and "We Are The Champions" as the rousing, fist-pumping finale. Jones, who got to know the band well as a rock journalist for the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper, recalls that Mercury wasn't feeling well that day, and his doctors had advised him not to perform.
