Queen did steal the show at Live Aid, and would have regardless, but speaking as someone who watched it live...that wasn't very hard to do. Live Aid was a bit of a hot mess in terms of performances-I mean, dozens of acts across two stages across two continents, none of them being able to properly soundcheck or really do anything to get ready, you can't really expect anything but a mess. Queen though, absolutely none of that mattered; they just came out and kicked ass. They didn't just steal the show, they were head and shoulders the best act of the day on either stage.
