If you were lucky enough to grow up with a Walkman in one hand and a concert ticket in the other, chances are you remember the ’80s as a golden age. More than one show must have left a mark that never faded. What follows is dedicated to the music lovers who lived through that electric decade and still carry its sound deep in their memory.
#1: Queen at Live Aid (1985)
Queen played just six songs at Live Aid, but the performance became one of the most-watched concert moments of the decade. Who could forget Freddie Mercury’s voice carried through Wembley Stadium as the cameras caught thousands clapping in unison? Even on grainy VHS recordings, you can still feel the rhythm of “Radio Ga Ga” and the charge in the air.
