Comments by other artists throughout the years

Dave Grohl, NPR, 2011
The key to success in any venue, Grohl says, is "breaking down that barrier" between fans and the band. Asked for an example, he says, "The bands that get up on stage and play like it's the last night of their lives are the ones I have a lot of respect for." But he takes the time to cite three particular performers who he says made performing in front of huge crowds into their own art forms:
Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.
"Every band should study Queen at Live Aid," he says. "If you really feel like that barrier is gone, you become Freddie Mercury. I consider him the greatest frontman of all time. Like, it's funny – you'd imagine that Freddie was more than human, but ... You know how he controlled Wembley Stadium at Live Aid in 1985? He stood up there and did his vocal warm ups with the audience. Something that intimate, where they realize, 'Oh yeah, he's just a f***ing dude.'"
And from the introduction speech into the RnR Hall of Fame by Grohl and Hawkins

"I once said in an interview after playing in front of an audience of 250,000, that if you want to learn how to connect to an audience that size, you either watch the Pope........ or Freddie Mercury."
