Best Live Peformance
Criteria: More than a one song performance.

That is all...
I was cruising videos on you tube and stumbled across something I had nearly forgotten about:1985's Live Aid. Specifically, Queen's performance. It was, in a word, amazing. They stole the show from the likes of The Who ad Led Zeppelin. Some people consider it THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE ever. It's hard to argue otherwise. The band hadn't played together in a while... in fighting, not feeling relevant, the usual band stuff... Bu according to the story, they were the only band that took the time to rehearse. They took it seriously. It shows.
And the crowd? Well, just watch the 72,000 that filled Wembley Stadium. They say the 100,000 at JFK Stadium in Philly did the same thing...
Pay special attention to the crowd during Radio Ga Ga (2:42)
Freddie Mercury was as queer as a three dollar bill, but he had the best voice in Rock and Roll. Ever...
