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?

Fair. I was really meaning the original question about the Live Aid crowd. We definitely worried less about out constant hydration though. Even friends my age are obsessed. When did that happen?

Totally get what you mean. Water obsessed these days.

She’s not the greatest live singer. She sounds out of breath

I saw Queen at Knebworth - best gig i’ve ever seen!

So did I @Jungfraujoch . They were incredible. I remember Status Quo and Big Country also played and a one hit wonder called Beloius Some. Can't actually believe my mum let me go, she had no idea how big it was 😂

I'm showing my age here - but it's so nice to see a lack of tits and arse cheeks, with the focus being the music.

and i love her jacket

Raahh · 12/07/2025 22:00

I don't think she has ever had a great voice- but she has made a great career out of performing.

But these days , she just looks so odd.

I’d have been with the paramedics! It’s a high energy performance

I wanted to BE Madonna - in the Material Girl video. The jeep and the capri pants.

BrightLightTonight · 12/07/2025 22:00

Difficult comparison - Queen were professional stadium bands with 15 years experience, Madonna was a fresh faced pop artist, with less than 3 years under her belt.

JaneJeffer · 12/07/2025 22:00

I didn’t see Madonna on the day because I had farming to attend to. She sounds terrible.

Utterlyexhausted · 12/07/2025 22:00

I remember watching Madonna on the day.. she mentions something like “I’m not taking shit off today..it’ll haunt me 10 years from now!” Bc this was when topless pics were posted from when she was trying to break into the business.. I thought she was the absolute coolest person ever when I was 11 🤭😊

Itisallgoingtobeok · 12/07/2025 22:01

I had a pair of earrings like those, purchased from the market in Weston-Super-Mare 😂

Oh same! She looked brilliant in that

Music can be very subjective but I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like Freddie.

Ken Tamplin vocal coach in America, has criticised some of Freddie's techniques.

He absolutely getting slayed for it, ruinng his highly lucrative career, constant hammering of him on U Tube.

He had the presence and depth of range like Elvis.

Lovingmayo · 12/07/2025 22:01

She could really dance tho

Jellykat · 12/07/2025 22:02

The only Madonna track i like is 'Justify my love' tbh...

Yep! My sister & I were there. I’d never been in a crowd that size. There was a woman thete with her 2 sons who kind of adopted us in the day. I don’t think she could believe we were there alone 😆

Ponks · 12/07/2025 22:02

My 15 year old self wants her outfit. Straight out of Miss Selfridge.

JenniferBooth · 12/07/2025 22:03

Does anyone else have her You Can Dance remix album from 1987 Meant to be played LOUD

Appalonia · 12/07/2025 22:03

I remember coming out of the cinema having watched Desperately Seeking Susan and so wanting her look and her sassy attitude!

Madge seems to have really tiny feet.

Which is weird bc she has massive hands

SirChenjins · 12/07/2025 22:03

How does she dance about like that and still have the breath to sing?!

MichaelandKirk · 12/07/2025 22:03

I like Madonna and it’s sad what she has done to herself. It’s as though she is trying to recreate herself in her 60’s and no one is really that interested

tobee · 12/07/2025 22:03

I seem to remember that we found out that the crowd screamed and shouted when Mel & Griff introduced Queen was actually because Phil Collins Concorde flew over the stadium @HurdyGurdy19 and so he's not in Philadelphia yet!

And there was a terrible sound quality interview with Collins mid flight.
