It's your weekly blast of expertly-curated musical memories from this incredible decade.

And we're back in the archives for a great interview with Queen's legendary guitarist.

This week, it's 35 years since Freddie, Roger, John and Brian stepped on stage at Wembley Stadium and, in the space of just 18 minutes, delivered one of the greatest live performances of any band in rock history. The event was Live Aid of course, so we're revisiting Johnnie's chat with Brian May from 2018. When they met, the movie Bohemian Rhapsody had only recently been released, so they discuss some of the key scenes from that biopic, including that historic recreation of the day itself in July 1985. And there are plenty of other anecdotes and stories in there too.

Johnnie's Jukebox welcomes a soulful 1975 smash as its next entry, chosen by Tina Hayhow in Frinton-on-Sea in Essex.

There are more tales from This Week In Music, plus plenty of your requests, dedications and messages across the show.
