Queen Recreates ‘Live Aid’ Set at Australian Benefit Concert
Queen did something historic for the first time at the Fire Fight Australia benefit concert: Recreate their iconic Live Aid set from 1985.
Queen + Adam Lambert performed “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Hammer to Fall,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love, “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” before a packed crowed at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney. The band even did “Ay-Oh” between “Radio Ga Ga” and “Hammer to Fall” via a Freddie Mercury video on the stadium’s screen.
The performance can be viewed in its entirety below.
