  The saying was that for 21 minutes England was ruled by another Queen.  Freddie held a mike in one hand and the world in the other.

  The amazing thing is, is that the crowd were made up of fans of a whole range of groups and solo artists including Dire Straits, McCartney, U2, and Phil Collins. The concert was held for the starving people of Africa. Queen stole the show and the set is considered to be the best of all time. It makes it even more amazing that Freddy was ill that day and his doctor advised him to cancel Queen&apos;s appearance. Freddy chose to carry on and the rest is history. <br><br>The two songs you asked about are - &apos;Hammer to Fall&apos; &amp; &apos; Radio Ga Ga&apos;

  Freddie wrote, &quot;Crazy Little Thing Called Love&quot; on the guitar in &quot;5 to 10 minutes.&quot; It gave you Elvis vibes because he wrote it as a tribute to Elvis.

  The thing that gets missed out in these reactions is that by the time Queen took the stage that crowd was tired. The atmosphere had started to go down because people had been there for hours. Freddie came on and reinvigorated a dying crowd. Pure showmanship. Spectacular performance.

  There was a great comment laid in tribute to Freddy after his passing. It said: &quot;America may have had the King of Rock &amp; Roll, but we had the Queen.&quot;
