The story was sacrificed for the musical numbers, and there were too many of them. It felt they wrote just enough biographical dialogue to get from one musical number to the next. I've loved EJ since the early 70's so I was really disappointed.
Bohemian Rhapsody was a much better movie, IMO. I really liked it, but it was treated as a story with music.

Is that the Live Aid concert? happybird Sep 2020 #2

Nope. This was the tour for the album after Live Aid. You can get the Live Aid performance with brewens Sep 2020 #5
