I really like this picture and I think it’s one of my favorite ones,
because it was taken in maybe the biggest rock music festival ever: “Live Aid”
in 1985, and it shows us some moments of the performance of Queen, who is
remembered by a lot of music magazines as the greatest rock performance ever. “Live
Aid” festival was organized by Bob Geldof (Maybe you know him by his role of “Pink”
in the Pink Floyd’s movie “The Wall”) to raise money for Eastern Africa, with the participation of a lot of my favorite artists: Sting, Phil
Collins, George Michael, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Elton John, Stevie
Wonder, Boy George and of course Queen. I like this picture because it captures
one of the greatest moments of Queen’s career playing to big crowds as they
used to (this festival sold 78.000 tickets), one year before they made the “Magic
tour” (their final one), and it shows us the power of music, that can gather a
lot of people to have fun, relax and in some cases to take awareness of poverty
and all the others problems of our world.
My favorite song of Queen is "We are the Champions", and I think that represent me ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat song!! my favorite one is "Somebody to love"
DeleteAIDS is a very complex syndrome. Freddy Mercury was a big singer, but he died with this disease.
ReplyDeleteGreetings my friend, a very good photo and a very very great concert.
The death of Mercury was really sad :( , but he recorded 3 records with his disease, that is really impressive
DeleteQueen is one of the best bands in the world!
ReplyDeleteit must have been amazing to be there! and to know that in some cases music industry don't use artists to generate money for themselves. I hope that the old spirit of music come alive again
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song by Queen is also Somebody to love, what a tune!!
