13.07.1985, London (Wembley Stadium), England Most of top artists of that time were present at this mega-famous festival and Queen of course had to be there. Each artist got from ten to twenty minutes for their show; no playback or soundcheck were allowed. Queen hesitated because playing without a soundcheck is always a risk. But then they accepted the rules and their 20 minutes of fame came on at 18:44 GMT. Queen were on top form and not only according to Bob Geldof and Elton John, they stole the show. They played only the intro to Bohemian Rhapsody (the opera part couldn't be played from the tape as playback was forbidden & there wasn't enough time anyway). Instead of the opera part, Radio Ga Ga followed. We Will Rock You was reduced to the first verse (and the final guitar solo) only. Is This The World We Created was performed by Freddie and Brian only later in the evening. 01: Bohemian Rhapsody (Intro) 02: Radio Ga Ga

I was way too young to see a Queen concert when they were still going strong, but God, it would have been so awesome, especially "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Ah sorry, I may not have been clear. I meant performances or recordings of Bohemian Rhapsody. Covers, live or recorded and Queen performances with and without Freddie.

Is there actually a live or recorded performance where anyone, including Freddie's live ones, comes close to doing the original recording justice? Because I haven't heard one yet.
