The critics got it all wrong with the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" and they got it wrong again with the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody". July 13th 1985 the world stopped for Live Aid. The greatest music acts performed and tucked among the headliners were reformed band Queen. No one could anticipate the reaction when Freddie Mercury and Queen played. It was the concert of the century and Queen stole the show.
