I’m getting snacks and drinks in and watching the whole thing while pretending I’m 12 again. Can’t wait for the Quo to kick it off in half an hour! Anyone else gonna watch?

It isn't just Freddie though when you listen to it. All the band can properly play and fill the stadium. They might be playing their whole set. A lot of the earlier artists' sets were shortened.

Their live performance still stands up 40 years later, doesn't it?

Stadiums have toilets though. You just have to take note of where your friends are and work your way back!

Rounday Park wasn't a stadium in 1983. It was a big grassy park with a few portaloos.

whatever happened to paul young, he was great

He’s still going, Mexican style band called Los lobos. He plays in a little town in Hampshire every couple of summers, one of his band has a connection there.

Went to see Robbie Williams at Knebworth in 2003 - I was pregnant with dd and insisted on being near the loos. We ended up not being even able to see the stage from where we were. Amazed my friends still spoke to me after - might as well of stayed home and watched in on the TV :)

I've got a shed load of dust in my eyes....

I believe Queen never played Bohemian Rhapsody in full, live. They felt they couldn't do it justice. When I went to see them they played the first bit, left the stage for the Scaramouche bit, and returned for the end.

Anyone else who saw them - did they play BR in full at your gig?

I never saw them live but I had a video of one of their Wembley concerts in 1986 which I played millions of times. No, they did not perform all of BR live.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 12/07/2025 21:51

Still remember singing this with 220,000 people at knebworth in 1986 🤩🤩🤩

Lovingmayo · 12/07/2025 21:51

If you google best performance of all time this set comes up number one

tryingtobesogood · 12/07/2025 21:51

That crowd is in the palm of his hand. Amazing.

I was looking at Japan videos on YouTube recently and David Sylvian looked like Princess Diana really.

The hair 😂

CheerfulBunny · 12/07/2025 21:51

Not the biggest Queen fan but my god, Freddie Mercury... the crowd is in the palm of his hand. What a performer

JenniferBooth · 12/07/2025 21:51

Has Madonna been on yet (while i was on my way home in a taxi) I watched the first half at DMs

KateShugakIsALegend · 12/07/2025 21:51

Freddie's voice, and his stage presence. Hard to look away to type!
