Extreme gave the audience what they wanted....they literally stole the show just as Queen did on the original Live Aid Concert...BRAVO Extreme!!!!

Extreme was to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert what Queen was to Live Aid. Anyone who wasn't an Extreme fan before that performance was by the time it was over.

Wow, this took BALLS and they pulled it off!!! Imagine playing Queen songs, to a massive Queen crowd, in front of Queen - nailed it...

I'm a GINORMOUS MetallicA fan, and I'm not taking anything away from my Bay Area Bashers, but goddamn. Everyone got their asses whooped by Extreme that day.

Gary Cherone's showmanship truly isn't talked about enough, more than being a great singer he truly knows how to put on a show - a fundamental skill for anyone to successfully cover queen.

And to think that Brian May was adamant that Extreme do a set of their own material. I keep coming back to this performance because it's the quintessential cover. I have such a respect for both of these bands and Nuno Bettencourt is so gosh darn amazing that I'll never, ever live up to his level of ability and musicianship. What I do have is the pure enjoyment and excitement of watching this performance over and over. I was just a young lad in 1992 and the grunge era was strong but the Freddie Mercury tribute was a beautiful reminder of rock's roots. Brian May's introduction of Extreme is one that can never be overestimated. Much love to all who return to this performance or who are just discovering it. Long live Freddie, and long live rock!

The most underrated and misunderstood band that has ever existed.

Extreme emulating Queen at Live Aid with the diversity, showmanship, talent, professionalism. And still as good today as they were in the 1990's.

Hands down the best performance of the tribute! An amazing amount of talent in Extreme and they'll never get the credit they deserve.

For me, "Extreme" was one of the best that was presented at the Freddie Mercury tribute. They were impeccable, great. People got excited about them, they sang the songs with Gary, Nuno, Paul and Pat.

I think a lot of times the rest of the band gets lost behind the comments about Nuno. They ALL showed how great they were in this performance but especially Gary! He was like a firecracker on stage and his voice stayed so crisp and clean the entire time.

I remember when I saw this the first time, it blew my mind, I was 12 years old. I am now 43 and it has only gotten better, I LOVE this performance.

I was there, Extreme were the best of the 'bands' section. Great band!

When the crowd exploded for “More Than Words”..... incredible!! Showed respect for their tribute and original song.

Extreme as a band is just fucking amazing, but Nuno is among THE MOST underrated guitarists EVER!
@TheWudy1972 1年前

I was already a huge fan of Extreme by the time this concert was shown. But felt incredibly proud of how amazing they were and finally the whole world saw it too.

Very brave performance. Fantastic Love Of My Life, the guts to play that quite difficult guitar part on acoustic in front of so many people, amazing really.

Saw Extreme last night - they played to a sold-out crowd of 1000 people with Living Colour. At 60+, tbis band is still magical and Nuno is laughably the best guitarist on earth right now. With performances like what i saw last night, Motley Crue, KISS and Guns N’ Roses have NO excuse for the garbage shows they churn out in venues ten times the size. Its offensive.
