Not a chance at Live Aid. Looking back at recordings of the event I can see it was completely jammed packed at Wembley.

Re: Live Aid concert 13 July 1985
Great question!..I was living in London when Live Aid was on. I didn't get to the concert though no..my bad.
..It was a warm day. Everybody there was calling it "hot". We thought that was funny but. But everybody was happy so that's all that mattered. BUt!.. I DID see Led Zeppelin in Sydney in 1972. I had just arrived back home after living my teenage years on the West Coast. What a great homecoming gift that was.

Re: Live Aid concert 13 July 1985
Not going to Live Aid is the biggest regret of my life. I am bitterly disappointed and forever upset I didn't make the effort to see the best performer that ever lived in my eyes................FREDDIE MERCURY AND QUEEN.Freddie and Queen stole the whole show with his magnificent showmanship.
In Elton Johns words “You bastards, you stole the show,”
They sure did.
The many times I've watched Queens performance I am so, so jealous of those lucky people in that audience. Wow what a talking point for the rest of ones life.
So I have to live with the fact I never got to see my Idol forever.
Gone, but never, ever forgotten.

That's why I regret not going. When I look back at recordings of the event and seeing Freddie do the 'dee daa, dee daa' thing where the whole crowd at Wembley copies him, knowing that not everyone in the crowd is a Queen fan because there are people in the crowd who are fans of other artists who were there but he got nearly everyone to follow along with him, THAT is something extremely special, a one in a life time experience that will never ever be repeated.
