Song #156

Radio Ga Ga by Queen (specifically the Live Aid version because that was today)

It was released in 1984 in the album The Works, this recording however was recorded on July 13, 1985

Fun fact: Queen played a shorter, up-tempo version of "Radio Ga Ga" during this concert at Wembley Stadium, where Queen's "show-stealing performance" had 72,000 people clapping in unison.

"I remember thinking 'oh great, they've picked it up' and then I thought 'this is not a Queen audience'. This is a general audience who've bought tickets before they even knew we were on the bill. And they all did it. How did they know? Nobody told them to do it."

—Brian May on the audience participation in clapping to "Radio Ga Ga" at Live Aid.

Why is he so precious?

I’m going to watch bohemian rhapsody for the 5th time on Saturday and this time I’m going to be able to sing out loud and no one will shut me up :)

Watch "Mick Jagger / Tina Turner - State Of Shock / It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (Live Aid 1985)" on YouTube

A force of nature! Good on Mick for trying to keep up 😂

WE ARE DOING THIS

ALL QUEEN FANS, GET YOUR ASSES TOGETHER, WE HAVE A CHALLENGE

what can I say about him that hasn’t already been said? just look at him.

Happy 37th anniversary or Live Aid 1985!
