Depending how you want to count the number of preceding bands, in groupings or count each band individually, at Wembley it was ~19 individual solo bands had played their sets. ~25 solos bands had played at John F. Kennedy Stadium. Those attending were tired and sluggish. It was a great but long day, even if you only had Farm Aid on in the background for the music and acts you didn't want to miss. People watching it at home were yawning.
And then...Queen hit the stage like mainlining adrenaline into the heart, re-energizing everyone.
"Radio Ga Ga" by Queen, from 1984's The Works. (Live Aid Wembley Stadium, London on the 13th July, 1985).
