In 1985, Queen gave an amazing 20-minute show at Live Aid that people still talk about today. It was at a huge stadium called Wembley, and Freddie Mercury, the singer, was like a superhero on stage. The band played big, exciting songs like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Radio Ga Ga,” and “We Are the Champions.” The crowd of thousands cheered, and millions more watched on TV. It was loud, fun, and full of energy—pure rock and roll magic that made Queen one of the greatest bands ever.
But later that same night, something quieter and special happened that not everyone remembers. After their big performance, Freddie Mercury and Brian May, the guitarist, came back on stage. This time, they didn’t bring the whole band or lots of noise. They just had an acoustic guitar and a song with an important message.
At 9:48 PM, they played “Is This The World We Created?” It’s a soft, sad song they wrote about hungry kids in Ethiopia who needed help. Instead of shouting and jumping, Freddie sang gently, and Brian played the guitar. The huge crowd of almost 90,000 people got quiet and listened closely. Some even cried because the song was so beautiful and serious.
Queen’s big, wild show earlier had everyone dancing, but this moment showed something different—their kindness and care. Live Aid was all about raising money to help people in need, and this song reminded everyone of that. Brian May once said this part of the day doesn’t get as much attention, but it’s just as important.
After Live Aid, Queen kept playing “Is This The World We Created?” at their concerts. It was from their 1984 album called The Works, and it always touched people’s hearts. The loud songs made Queen famous, but this quiet one showed they weren’t just rock stars—they were musicians who wanted to make the world better too.
