Talking about Queen's performance at 85's Live Aid had me wanting to see their set again and again, more so their second song of the night, "Radio Ga Ga" from Queen's 1984 album, The Works (that single reached #2 in the UK and #16 in the US). A shorter, more up-tempo version was played at Live Aid (album version, 5:49, Live Aid version, 4:10). Freddie Mercury's epic live shows; including his dominating on-stage presence and absolute control of the crowd are still unmatched. Watch and you'll see what I mean with Queen's Live Aid performance of "Radio Ga Ga".
