I saw Queen several times beginning in 1975 when I was 18 years old and fell in love. Absolutely perfect performances every time. Freddie on stage was gorgeous, sexy, flamboyant and just plain mesmerizing. The greatest band of all time!

He was so brave and honest to his fans. Until the end.

John Deacon on bass to this concert..Roger Taylor support Freddie to the song The Great Pretender..Bryan May continuely making lyrics as Freddie requested..3 bandmates are very supportive until his last days

Led Zeppelin “Jimmy Page “Jimmy Page’s guitar playing truly came to life during his electrifying live performances. He was known for his improvisational skills, captivating audiences with his technical prowess and emotional delivery. His stage presence combined with his intricate guitar work made for unforgettable experiences. The energy and intensity he brought to the stage remain unmatched to this day. The influence and legacy of Jimmy Page cannot be overstated. His style and techniques have been emulated by countless musicians and his impact on the development of rock music is immeasurable. Even today many guitarists strive to capture the essence of his playing and incorporate his techniques into their own. Jimmy Page’s legacy as the greatest guitarist of all time rests on his unparalleled musical versatility, remarkable songwriting and arrangement skills, innovative techniques, captivating live performances and enduring influence on the world of music. His contributions to rock guitar playing have left an indelible mark on the genre, making him a true icon and inspiration for generations of musicians to come.” Robert Plant “In the pantheon of Rock and Roll greats one name stands tall; a beacon of raw energy, unparalleled showmanship and vocal prowess: Robert Plant. While debates about the greatest in any field are always fraught with subjectivity, a compelling case can be made for Plant’s ascension to this distinguished title. Here's why: -Distinctive voice and range - From the first note Robert Plant's voice is unmistakable. He possesses a unique tenor that can oscillate between gentle whispers and powerful roars in a matter of moments. Songs like ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and ‘Since I’ve been loving you’ demonstrate his ability to transition from delicate to explosive with ease. His expansive range combined with his emotional delivery allows him to convey a wide spectrum of feeling front man charisma. Part of what made Led Zeppelin such a legendary act was Plant's ability to captivate an audience. With his flowing golden locks, bare chest and magnetic stage presence, he epitomized the very essence of Rock and Roll. All this has cemented many of Zeppelin’s tracks as staples in the annals of Rock history. While the title of greatest is subjective, Robert Plant's contributions to Rock music are monumental. He is more than just a singer. He's an artist, a performer and a musical visionary. His voice has etched emotions into the souls of listeners for decades, and for many, myself included, he is without a doubt, the greatest Rock singer of all time.” John Bonham “ ‘Bonzo’, with his incredible talent and passion for drums, quickly rose to become one of the most influential drummers in history. His drumming style was characterized by its raw power, thunderous beats and extraordinary technique. He had an uncanny ability to infuse emotion and soul into his playing, making every drum fill and rhythm a work of art. But what made Bonham's drumming truly unique was his unmatched physicality behind the kit. Bonham's drumming power was a force to be reckoned with. His hard-hitting approach to the drums, coupled with his immense strength created a sound that reverberated through stadiums and left audiences in awe. One of the key aspects that set Bonham apart was his use of dynamics. He had an incredible control over his playing, seamlessly transitioning soft, delicate beats, and explosive earth-shattering drum fills. This dynamic range added a layer of depth and complexity to Led Zeppelin's music, creating a sonic experience like no other. It's worth noting that Bonham's drumming power wasn't just about playing loud and fast. He had an innate sense of groove and timing, which allowed him to lock in with his bandmates, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, forming the backbone of Led Zeppelin's sound. His ability to lay down solid rhythms while adding his unique flair was truly extraordinary. “John's drumming on ‘Achilles last stand’ was ferocious. It was a ferocious number, I seem to remember. It's a complicated part, it takes a lot of technique to keep going and to sound fresh.” John Paul Jones “There's a Track on presence called ‘In your life’ and also ‘Achilles last Stand ‘ that really exemplifies how he could move like a tide within a track and create so much excitement.’ “ Robert Plant Whether it was the pulsating rhythm of ‘Black dog’, or the infectious groove of ‘Kashmir”, his drumming added a dimension of depth and soul to every Led Zeppelin song. Bonham's solid rhythms provided the framework upon which the band's intricate compositions could flourish. His drumming was the heartbeat of Led Zeppelin, driving the songs forward with an undeniable energy and intensity. And while maintaining this foundation he was also known for infusing his drumming with unique and innovative elements. Bonham's ability to add his own flair and creativity to each song was truly remarkable. From his intricate drum fills to his dynamic improvisations during live performances he elevated the music to new heights. His drum solos such as the legendary ‘Moby Dick’, showcased his technical prowess and unleashed his raw power in a captivating display. Beyond his technical skill, Bonham's drumming had a primal energy that connected directly with the emotions of the listeners. His thunderous beats and primal rhythms resonated on a visceral level, igniting a fire within the hearts of fans all around the world. It was this emotional connection that, perhaps most of all, truly set him apart as a drummer and a musician. Tragically, John Bonham's life was cut short on September 25, 1980, but his impact on the world of drumming and music as a whole will forever be felt. His unmatched genius, drumming power, and contribution to Led Zeppelin's legacy, cemented his place as one of the greatest drummers and musicians in Rock history. A True legend who continues to inspire generations of musicians and music lovers alike throughout the world.” John Paul Jones “The first time I saw Led Zeppelin was in 1973. They came straight out and into Rock and Roll. ‘Bang, I hit you, right between the eyes!’ John Bonham was living up to his reputation as Rock's most powerful drummer, Jimmy Page was duck walking across the stage firing out these incendiary guitar lines, and Robert Plant, let's be honest, probably didn't require any amplification at all on that colossal voice. Stage left was John Paul Jones playing bass, slightly in the background almost like he didn't belong there. I started to focus, to zone in on his playing, and it dawned on me how huge his contribution was to this powerhouse of a band. At times he would be holding down the rhythm, seemingly locked into Bonham's snare and bass drums as well as mirroring perfectly Bonzo's drum fills. Then he would join Paige on those classic riffs, but there was variation. At various times he would really attack those strings adding a percussive part to underpin Page's guitar. Then he would play these little improvised runs, but the genius here was he chose his notes, he kept it simple, clean, and he didn't interfere with what Page or Plant were doing as a more busy a bassist might have. Jones would also play just in front of the beat, pushing the music along or a hair's breath behind that beat. A bit like Keith Richards does for the Stones. Playing behind the beat gives the music swing and a kind of primal funkiness. As the concert progressed John Paul switched to keyboards eerie electric piano for ‘No quarter’ melotron, and organ for ‘Stairway to Heaven’, and a killer organ solo on ‘Thank you’, all the while playing tourist base pedals beneath those keyboards. I left the venue that night in awe of the man.” Many experts say that John Paul Jones, as a musician, was the greatest genius of them all, and I don't mean just his bandmates. It appears to me, that the more of a musician you are, the more you appreciate his colossal talent and contribution to Rock and to music as a whole. My friend, what are the chances of something like this to ever happen again? Four absolute geniuses in the prime of their lives and energy, to meet each other, joining their colossal talents in an unparalleled bond and build, from scratch, a band like Led Zeppelin? I cannot possibly put into words the amount of joy and sheer happiness these four gentlemen have brought into my life. How can one ever repay such a thing, is a question I often ask myself… I have lived long enough to witness innumerous extremely talented musicians and bands, with impeccable technique and artistry, but Rock/Music delivered with heart and soul like Led Zeppelin I am yet to see. As a fan, I feel grateful and blessed to have come across the “Led Zeppelin experience”. To share it, I believe, is not only a duty but an obligation. Every human has the right to know Led Zeppelin, the Gods of Rock.

“The meaning of "Stairway to Heaven" When I run or hike my mind often plays songs repetitively. If I don't like the song or don't know enough of the lyrics to make it a pleasant experience the resulting monotony can get quite burdensome. But if I'm lucky, a beautiful ballad that I know and love will play and I can enjoy the experience. "Stairway to Heaven" is one such song. Written in 1971 by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, performed by the incomparable Led Zeppelin, it played endlessly on the radio when I was in high school. And every time it came on, I turned up the volume and let the spell of that song carry me away. At over 8 minutes long, with lyrics scattered sparsely throughout, it's arguable that the lyrics aren't central to the song. It's one of the greatest rock anthems of all time - who even listens to the lyrics? I certainly didn't. Not until it started playing endlessly in my head. When you are forced to listen to a song 15 times in a row, you get past the awesome guitar solos and the ethereal mood of the song and you start to wonder, "What the F--- is this song really about?" At least I do. When I first heard the song it seemed to be about some rich lady who bought her way into heaven. The line "your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know" seemed appropriate to the endless loop I was experiencing. But it took a long time for the story to come together in my mind. As I got into it, there seemed to be a lot of non-sequiturs. Consider the line "in a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." Where did THAT come from? We were just talking about the Stairway lady. It made me wonder. In time I realized the song is not a linear story. It's a series of images altered by the later context. It's kind of like a movie that starts in the middle of the story and only later supplies the context to understand what you've seen. "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven." The lady and her stairway represent materialism. There's also a hint that she may be misguided because all that glitters is NOT gold. "When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed, with a word she can get what she came for." Money, privilege and power. Pretty simple so far. "There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure, 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings." She doesn't trust anyone. Money has cut her off from people. Then comes the apparent non-sequitur. "In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." So far the song has been about a lady and a stairway, or if we're already on the metaphorical bandwagon, it's about materialism and the way that cuts us off from other people. We can't understand this line except in the context of the rest of the song, but we'll soon see that a change from an old way of thinking to a new one is the real theme of this song. So eventually we'll understand that this line starts the real theme of the song and everything that came before it is a metaphor for the old way of thinking. The refrain is "Oooo, it makes me wonder." Wonder what? The singer is rethinking something. But what? The story takes a personal turn with the line, "There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving." This is a lovely poetic line that boils down to "Facing death makes me think about what's important in life." Because the sun sets there, west has been a metaphor for death since at least ancient Egyptian times. "In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees and the voices of those who stand looking." Rings of smoke denote campfires, indicating that people live there, despite being hidden. Those who stand looking are people who witness evil, but say nothing. The people in his thoughts are coming out of hiding to stand up for what's right. "And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, then the piper will lead us to reason." The vision continues.The tune and the piper are musical metaphors connoting the spread of the goodness and truth seen in the vision. "And a new day will dawn for those who stand long and the forest will echo with laughter." As the vision gathers momentum, the people are no longer hiding in the trees. But we're still not sure what this great vision really is. Does it have anything to do with the lady or the materialism she represents? In the next few lines, we the listener are brought into the song somewhat ambiguously. "Your" and "you" could refer to the lady, but as we'll see later, they don't. "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen." Very poetic again, and very British. Some translation is needed. In rural England the hedgerow is the line of shrubs denoting the property line between your estate and the next, so a "bustle in your hedgerow" means something is changing in your life or your mind. The May queen was chosen by a village to represent youth, beauty, newness, and hope for a better future. So this line boils down to "if your old ideas start crumbling, don't be alarmed, you have new and better ideas forming in their place." It's also possible that the May queen is another reference to the lady, though significantly changed in her ways. "Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on." This is a major clue to the still nebulous vision. It's a vision about a change for the better, one that we the listener can make. "Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know. The piper's calling you to join him." Since the bustle, hedgerow and May queen were so mysterious, this stanza restates and clarifies the previous one. The piper, as mentioned earlier, represents the vision, now evidently an idea because it is humming in our head. It's also a popular idea because here the piper is portrayed like the Pied Piper whose pipe magically lured rats and children to follow him. "Dear lady can you hear the wind blow, and did you know, your stairway lies on the whispering wind." There's a lot going on here. Blowing wind is a metaphor for popular opinion, just as it was in many other songs from this era. Now we see the flaw in materialism, represented by the lady. Her money is only good if people accept it. And her reliance on it has cut her off from those people to the point where she may not be able to hear them at all. "Dear lady" is a clue that the lady also represents the materialist part of ourselves, one of the "two paths you can go by." "And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls." I really love this image. This song could have been about other people's flaws, but it's not. As time goes by, we inevitably grow more materialistic. One day we realize that we haven't lived up to the idealism of youth. Our material selves are now more important to us than our spiritual selves. But why shadows? A close inspection of the entire song shows a consistent differentiation between things seen and things heard. Things seen are false and misleading. Things heard are real and from the heart. This might seem strange, but remember, we're listening to a song. The truth is coming to us aurally, not visually. "There walks a lady we all know, who shines white light and wants to show, how everything still turns to gold." The shadows of the previous line come from the shining white light of a materialistic point of view. If we cast a shadow, it's because our materialism is showing. "And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last." The tune returns. Like last time, the tune is the new way of thinking, the second path, the non-materialist way of living that is more genuine, and keeps us connected to other people. "When all are one and one is all. To be a rock and not to roll." It's too bad this line is so hard to understand in the recording because it really ties everything together. If the new way of thinking is good for one person, it's even better for a group. If enough like-minded folks get together and form a community then we'll live in a real, solid and reliable paradise. "And she's buying a stairway to heaven." If not, the materialists will take advantage of the rest of us. So that's how I interpret the song. It has added immensely to my enjoyment of Stairway to Heaven. I hope it does the same for you. Brian Robinson” This is the best interpretation of “Stairway to Heaven” lyrics I encountered so far. If you/anyone knows a better one, please share. “... It's one of those songs where… if you have a moment, with either someone else or just a moment where you're watching the sun rising or something… It's one of those moments that, this piece of music, if it connects, it's going to connect fully, into every vein you've got going, and makes something inside you… Your little atoms are stirred by it. Your being… it's one of those songs that actually connects with your being.” Krusher More than a Rock band, Led Zeppelin is an experience. An emotional rollercoaster able to show you places and feelings deep within yourself, that you, yourself, never knew existed. At least that's how I felt back in my teenage heroin addict self tripping with their music, in places and realms I didn't want to come back from. Today I often find myself binging on people's reactions to their music trying to somehow relive even if a glimpse of that. If that makes sense… As much as I like and respect other bands,, nothing compares to Led Zeppelin, the greatest Rock band of all time.. As to where it ranks as my favorite song to date, let me put it this way: “If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm going to raise up and cause a scene.”

After this song, John Deacon put down his base and said he'd never come back.

Adam Lambert? BS

Great reaction. Listen to Band Maid "freedom"

Out of all their songs on all their albums, there’s only 2 songs that aren’t my favorites, & I can’t say I hate them either. Unless you decide to check out more, you are missing out on so many great songs.

This is my favorite live performance, you can see & feel the soulful blues. The worst thing is, how many times you stopped, it definitely ruins the beautiful flow. Yes I understand you reactors need to stop, but not so many times.

This is the first time seeing your reaction, nice to see you did react to many more Zeppelin songs. The greatest band ever, with the GODS of music. They are all the GOATS, & I agree Plants vocal range tone & texture, is absolutely amazing. I’ve loved these GODS for about 50 years, sadly I didn’t get to see them in concert, I’m so glad for these videos. Thank you for the reactions you’ve done.

Queen has a whole treasure trove of great music nobody has heard. It's a shame. I feel like a millionaire when I listen to Queen. 🥰

I have the multitrack of this song to this day as of a fact I have his entire vault.

Ross McCall can't make the Bohemian rhapsody movie due to his age in 2018

I like this version of Freddie..Bryan May sang that song on Freddie's tribute in 1992

So beautiful song ..Made me cry

Moral: don't piss Freddie off 🤬

It made me cry.. Amazing song

SUFLETUL ĂSTA DE OM A FOST UN FENOMEN,UN ADEVĂRAT TALENT, UN GENIU❤❤❤❤

RESPECT PT. REACȚIA DV.🙏🙏🙏🙏

love mj

Rest assured, his spirit flies high as he is continuing his journey, I know this for a fact. He's my angel and he's still so beautiful.

They kept telling Freddie what to wear.....so he wore NOTHING 😂😂

John was always the 'funk" of the band. That day in the studio he wouldn't stop playing this baseline....until they went home and it was stuck in their heads. 😂😂

Somebody to Love was Fred's favorite song. He loved the vocals with Roger and nobody stood out from the other ❤ PS. Freddie only drank black tea and lemon when performing. Fun Fact Frd wrote "Crazy little thing called love" soaking in the bath. In about 10 minutes.

Please, pls do watch the 20 minute long performance at Live Aid, July 13th 1985......It was the best! This was their second night of performing.

Yes tormented to death....greedy, jealous people can't stop him and his fame...so easy way to defame him with media and some malicious people hovering around his house and very near as well. And as he is light hearted and soft spoken, shy gentleman...taken that advantages , malicious people started rob him from every angle..

I was in a local rock band and that stop they do at 6:31 would be SO easy to screw up. But they're Pros

I know its hard but his spirit flies high on the other side. He's literally my angel

Simply sensational thanks QUEEN

😭
