a YouTube video of the actual Queen LiveAid gig.
Rami is a good actor but on stage he doesn't even have a shadow of Freddy's presence.

Agreed!

They should have just used the real footage, that would have been a treat to see it at the cinema!

I have the Live Aid DVDs and I've seen Queen's performance dozens and dozen of times. It's extraordinary! Great viewing to pump you up during a workout.

But I think Rami and the producers did a great job in the recreation. It featured camera angles, close ups and crowd shots which aren't featured in the live performance. I think it was a great dramatization of the true events.

But let's face it, nobody else in the world - past or present - is anything like the real Freddie.

The CGI recreation of the original Empire Stadium, Wembley was extraordinary. The stadium was demolished in 2002-2003, more than fourteen years before the movie was made, to make way for the new Wembley Stadium.
