Shout out to Roger Taylor killing it on the drums & vocals. I can only name a handful of drummers that have the talent to pull that off. Every band member is the complete package. Roger really shines in "Somebody To Love".
Yes!!! He's the one I watch during this song.. and after realizing how much he does behind Freddy I try to watch and listen to him in every video. Freddy deserves the front man praise of course but all members of queen we're impressive yet seemed OK supporting Freddy.
Yes, I'm aware of Phil & Don 😊 and I have them planned. I just didn't was Rico to know yet. Surprising him is so fun. He will be doing videos from them very soon. Be on the lookout. Thank you so much! ✌🎵❤
Every member of this band has written multiple number 1 hits..... Freddie Mercury - Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are The Champions John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free and You're My Best Friend. Roger Taylor - Radio Ga Ga and A Kind Of Magic as well as These Are The Days Of Our Lives. Brian May - Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, and Who Wants To Live Forever? A collection of that much talent in one band is almost criminal.
"Criminal"? It's almost physically impossible. It should have collapsed into a black hole of talent, concentrating all human creativity into a singularity. I'm sure now-Doctor of Astronomy Brian May could explain it better.
My American view is that all 4 of them, individually, have been elected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They didn’t get much attention here after the video parade of some British show. Idiots over here just saw a bunch of dudes in dresses. This caused both brain cells to collide and come up with the assumption that Queen was a group of transvestites🙄
"His voice is strong as hell". You're not lying. That's why every single cover of a Queen song ever done isn't as good as the original. It doesn't matter how good the person doing the cover is - there was only ever one Freddie Mercury.
You have to react to Queen's set at the 1985 Live Aid concert. One of the most important and greatest moments in rock history. It's about 20 minutes long but it is well worth the time.
It's hard to decide whether Freddy's musicianship or stage presence was more overwhelming. He could have made himself dictator, if he'd wanted to. I'm not at all sure we wouldn't all be better off if he had.
this song is soulful because its an homage to aretha franklin. freddie loved her and thus why this song has this gospel, church feel to it. great reaction
I LOVE how, after that Ah-mazing opening run, Freddie says, “Ok, let’s do it”!!! Puts a smile on my face Every time. Every time! It’s so Freddie. Like he didn’t just DO something amazing. So good. ❤️
This is Freddie's gospel song so your references to Church are spot on. He so admired Aretha Franklin that this is his tribute to her style and class. It also was Freddie's favorite song to sing live and perhaps his favorite Queen song, period. This performance is outstanding and your reaction was perfect, what an honor to be able to still see these great performances so many years later. Thank you.
THANK YOU! It’s more impressive considering they didn’t have any electronic assistance. No lip syncing, no overlay tracks. That is all the band and the Great Freddy Mercury. Thanks for reacting to this one!
Freddie always takes you to church. True Legend. The greatest thing about Queen is that whenever you hear one of their songs you go, "Man, this is my favorite Queen song." So many hits and they're all equally amazing.
Queen and Freddie Mercury (RIP) are a perfect match like no other! His voice is timeless and always on point. Great reaction/feedback video... Merry Christmas to you guys! Peace!
Freddie's favourite singer was Aretha and boy does it sound like it here. Just consider his story: quiet little Farrokh Bulsara, moving to England in the 1960s, back when racism was open and everywhere. He turned himself into Freddie Mercury. Everything about this is amazing but props to Roger Taylor on drums. There are other world-famous bands whose lead singers aren't as good as he is on vocals here, and he does it while hitting the shit out of those things. John Deacon holds it together on bass - the quiet man who wrote their biggest US hit Another One Bites The Dust - and then Brian May, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, playing the guitar he and he father made out some bits of wood and parts of a motorbike. What a band. What a fucking band.
While not minimizing Freddy's experiences with horrible bigotry in the slightest, I'd only disagree with you on one point there, and that's that English racism not being "open and everywhere" has ever been a thing. If anything, it's worse now than it's been in a long time. Even Starmer's Labour is calling for the corrupt Met to "shoot first and ask questions about racism later", even though they've repeatedly proven that they already do that, very enthusiastically.
Queen never dissapoints, especially live,they will give their all ,showcasing everyone's talent. They're not just a talented Musician they're also well educated, the fact that the Lead Guitarist has a PHD in Astronomy,now we call him Dr. Brian May🤟. There a tons of songs that they made ,they made anthems like we will rock you and we are the champions,you gotta discover more you probably hear before, check out one of their Dope song with a great Bass Riff " Another One Bites The Dust studio version or Live from this comcert in Montreal. Thanks,love your reaction.I enjoy so far🤟🤟🤟🤟Merry Christmas 🎄New subbies here👑
Freddie had a degree in graphic art and designed Queen's logo. John Deacon had an advanced degree in electrical engineering, and built the amp (from parts he found in the trash) that Brian used to get the Queen sound. Roger Taylor had a degree in biology. And Brian with his degree in astrophysics, has worked with NASA on space projects. Also, all four are in the songwriter's hall of fame, and have written number 1 songs.
Freddie was an awesome performer and is so sorely missed . the band did a tribute concert for Freddie when he died and George Michael performed this song at the show and well, he stole the whole show right out , no one can ever do Freddie justice but George did a fantastic job singing this if you guys want to check it out . Loved your reaction and i think you both are wonderful bringing this music back to the forefront and reminding people how good music and artists were back in my day and bringing the younger generations to the music .
So you found the legendary band queen! Good for you 😊 Freddie is considered the goat of vocalists. Check out “queen at live aid” it’s considered their best performance ever. For real check it out you’ll love it.
Thank you for reacting to this. I have to admit I’m loving your reactions to the older songs (just because I’m old). There will be many more suggestions of Queen songs to listen to, but please have a look at Save Me, again from Montreal. It shows the versatility of the group and the timing of Freddie singing and then moving to the piano is just something to behold. Keep it going from a new fan in the UK 👍🏻
This is one of my favorite performances, it's like 3 encores in one song! Great reaction, it's impossible not to fall in love with Queen after a live performance! I hope you continue the journey!✌♥️ MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
RIP Freddie. “It’s like being in church”. Think Freddie would have taken that as a huge compliment. It’s great to see the new generations enjoying what i grew up with. 👏👏
Queen öffnete Türen von denen einige noch gar nicht gebaut waren. Sie füllten STADIEN. Sie transportieren Gefühl, verbunden mit genialem musikalischen Talent! Die Band deren Musik über alle Zeit Bestand haben wird. ♥️
Love this song so much. When I grew up my brothers were huge Queen fans. Its just me now and I am so happy to see people still appreciate the beauty of Queen. If I may suggest Seven Sea of Rye. It makes me cry but its so strong. Freddie was a proper rockstar. Queen defined an era. Have a new sub
Now listen to the official video for this song. You hear all their harmonies. Both versions are amazing. Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and this song was his homage to her and her style. They referred to it as white gospel.
Seeing QUEEN live was always the best way...been to many of their concerts in the late 70s early 80s,,,always a great time,,When concerts were big and fun''
My favorite song My favorite performance. Been a Queen fan a long time Freddies vocals are unmatched all 4 of them create a wall of sound that no one can touch. You should do the video as well great reaction.
Thanks for the terrific reaction. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for Freddie and the band. This band DOES have soul!!! Deacy on bass holding down the rhythm with Roger who kills on drums and adds his own amazing vocals and Brian May on guitar - his guitar "sings" and always gets a verse (and Brian sings and adds to the harmonies)... The talent here is overwhelming. I love the harmonies this band produces. Sometimes you will want to do a studio version of a song to really appreciate that part of their talent. The live performances were intended by the group to be unique and different from the studio versions. There is value in both. I would recommend next "Save Me" from the same 1981 show. It was written by Brian about a friend's breakup.
Brilliant reaction!! Queen were voted #1 live band by several rock magazines...and rightly so!! I've been a die hard Queen fan since 1980. You should stay on the Queen tracks because that's a fantastic journey!! Try White Queen at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 or You Take My Breath Away from Hyde Park in 1976. You're a great couple too. The dude is a nice and sincere guy and the girl is an oasis of serenity amidst the mostly loud and proud reactors out there. Keep it up! I subscribed!
Freddie Mercury - musical genius, amazing musician, fantastic songwriter and greatest front man in rock history..... R.I.P. dear sweet Freddie. You are missed..... Next - you have to watch Queen's 20 minute set at the charity concert at Live Aid in 1985. Best 20 minutes in rock history. Queen stole the show.... These 4 original Queen members - Freddie, Brian, Roger and John were together for 20 years until Freddie's early death in 1991. They were together from 1971 until 1991..... so you have 20 years of studio videos, live performances and albums to enjoy. Every performance is different. And Queen sang all kinds of genres of music. Lots of surprises. Always fun and always amazing. Greatest rock band in history......
Now that you have reacted to this classic Queen performance you need to check out a completely different side of them with "Love Of My life" from Wembley 1986, "White Queen" at the Hammersmith Video, and then each song on side Black of Queen II LP! Merry Christmas to you both!!!
I see that Prince disc hanging on the wall behind you. If you're a Prince fan, you _NEED_ to see the cover of an old Beatles song called "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Jeff Lynne (lead singer of ELO), Tom Petty and Prince (among other musicians). Prince steals the show with his guitar solo at the end. BTW, rumor has it, Superman wears a Queen shirt.😉
That's a million percent on the list! I'd really like them to hear the original first by The Beatles, one ELO song with Jeff, and one Tom Petty song, (I'm assuming they've heard a Prince song), so they can fully appreciate the talent on that stage. You'll definitely see that legendary performance on this channel. They are gonna freak over Prince's guitar solo. Great suggestion!
the only band in the entire world of music both past and present that sounded just as good if not better live than in a studio pure talent from every member no autotune what so ever just raw talent like we will never see again R.I.P Freddy
Spectacular entertainment here . . .4 Queen musicians unmatched togetherness; Plus, Freddie unmatched performing excellence ... and you! Loved your unabashed appreciation. Great beautiful fun!
Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized. Make sure you give credit to Roger's backing vocals while drumming. Not many musicians has a backing vocals like him. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. Also check out "LIVE AID" ❤️🔥
Thank you so much for this reaction ❤️ another good one is "under pressure live at Wembley stadium" .......... Merry Christmas 🎄 and have a blessed day 🌻
Queen: Full Live Aid Concert. It's over 20 minutes long, but I have watched other reactions to it, and I promise you that you will not lose anyone clicking off during the whole reaction, despite its length. I actually watched this live on TV at a summer birthday sleepover when I was 12 years old. This Live Aid concert was held on July 13, 1985 and there were two concerts held for Live Aid on that same day: one in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA and the other London, England, UK. MTV had VJ hosts and cameras filming on both sides of the pond and they ran the concert live all day and night. MTV would switch from one concert to the other all day long: they'd show an artist playing in Philadelphia, then one in London, then back to Philly, then back to London ... all day, with interviews from the performers in between line-up changes. It was brilliant! This was back when MTV was at it's absolute best. Many bands and performers participated, including Queen. It was a benefit concert in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. Queen performed from Wembley Stadium in London, England and their performance is so legendary (considered the BEST performance of any performer at Live Aid) that a tagline is famously attached to it: "This is the only time in England's history that, for 20 minutes, the country was ruled by an entirely different Queen." *** Watch the crowd! Especially during Radio Gaga. Freddie had them in the palm of his hand. Complete crowd control - pay attention at 5:49. CROWD. CONTROL!!! Here is their set list from that concert: Bohemian Rhapsody 0:24 Radio Gaga 2:40 ------> Fun Fact: Lady Gaga took her stage name from this song. Ay-Oh 6:47 (interaction with the crowd) Hammer to Fall 7:34 Crazy Little Thing Called Love 12:20 We Will Rock You 16:01 We Are The Champions 17:20 Another fun fact: Freddie Mercury was quite sick that day with a throat infection and was advised by his doctor not to perform the concert. He did anyway ... and wow, did he KILL it! Link to the reaction here: th-cam.com/video/EjXetWK-Ur8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TH-camTest
Of course freddie is an incredible vocalist, but Brian may (lead guitar) and Roger Taylor (drummer) are both more than capable of filling in when needed, a good example of this is no one but you (only the good die young) which is a tribute to freddie after his death. Queen oozes talent, a truly unique band.
Just stumbled upon your channel and have loved all your reactions! Thank you both for taking the time to entertain all of us. Merry Christmas and have a safe New Years!❤
George Michael with the remaining members of Queen performing this track in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley stadium is worth reacting too. The whole concert was a tribute to Freddie after his death. Other acts included, guns n roses, Extreme, Metallica, David Bowie, Elton John and many more
You guys need to react to the live aid from 85. That performance is still considered the best live performance in history. Freddie held in one hand the mike and in the other one the world.
I'm not even an emotional dude and every time I hear freddie's voice it almost brings me to tears, what a hell of a musician, Queen is not just music, they're art.
I suggest watching the studio version of Somebody to Love. That was also very amazing. This is a 1981 live and the studio version was 1976 (when freddie was young and could hit more high notes)
Freddie hit higher notes in this version then in the studio version. His voice just became heavier and darker, but he actually sang higher in the 80's. It is funny how people don't realize this. The highest note in the studio version is a G5, Freddie does more then one G#5 in this live version. People often don't understand what high notes really sounds like.
There has never been anyone like him. Freddie was one in a billion! Best frontman vocalist of a band ever. There are a lot of greats don't get me wrong - but Freddie was THE most prolific, energetic, charismatic, talented etc. He was was also good friends with Michael Jackson. Many considered Freddie the rock n roll equivalent of MJ due to his sheer level of stage presence and showmanship. We the world lost him way too soon - not just an amazing artist, but also an amazing human being who truly loved people, the world, humanity, etc. Other band vocalists who have singing voices that can compare: Steve Perry of Journey, Brad Delp of Boston, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, and for the female side, the greatest all time is Flor Jansen of NightWish, but others near her level are Amy Lee of Evanesence and Ann Wilson of Heart
Absolutely love seeing the younger generations getting enjoyment out of bands like this. This is my childhood. So much amazing music. You should try some pink Floyd if you haven't already. Comfortably numb is a good one to start with.
Oh yeah, this is my favorite live performance. No one can sing better than Freddie. There are some who can sing as well, but not better. Just the most phenomenal, entertaining, talented front man of all time. Continue to RIP Freddie! Great reaction!
You will not regret going down the queen rabbit hole, check out thank God it's Christmas, also I highly recommend checking out a very underrated Queen song called cool cat
My dad was lucky enough to see them 8 times in concert. One of his favorite bands. I envy that so much haha. One time would be a bucket list moment in my book!
You just witnessed a true G.O.A.T. Live!!! Nobody can touch Freddie/Queen. R.I.P. Freddie. Even after all this time, we still love you too!! Please check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" both live and the video. "Love of my life". "In My Defense" and so much more. Obviously, you will recognize "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" Best band EVER!!!
I first heard this song in the movie “Ella Enchanted” sung by the actors, and thought to myself, “man, this sounds like a Queen song!”, come to find out that it is. Now I hear it all the time. Mind you that I grew up in the 70s and 80s but just didn’t know this song.
Shout out to Roger Taylor killing it on the drums & vocals. I can only name a handful of drummers that have the talent to pull that off. Every band member is the complete package. Roger really shines in "Somebody To Love".
Yes!!! He's the one I watch during this song.. and after realizing how much he does behind Freddy I try to watch and listen to him in every video. Freddy deserves the front man praise of course but all members of queen we're impressive yet seemed OK supporting Freddy.
He could absolutely do lead vocals for most bands out there.
Jennifer
You know one of drummers that can sing and play drums. His name is Don Henley of Eagles. Don sings iconic Hotel California live 1977
Yes, I'm aware of Phil & Don 😊 and I have them planned. I just didn't was Rico to know yet. Surprising him is so fun. He will be doing videos from them very soon. Be on the lookout. Thank you so much! ✌🎵❤
@@jennhurl I was fortunate enough to Eagles in concert live back in 2002
Every member of this band has written multiple number 1 hits.....
Freddie Mercury - Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are The Champions
John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free and You're My Best Friend.
Roger Taylor - Radio Ga Ga and A Kind Of Magic as well as These Are The Days Of Our Lives.
Brian May - Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, and Who Wants To Live Forever?
A collection of that much talent in one band is almost criminal.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this list.
Thank you for posting it. ❤🎵✌
"Criminal"? It's almost physically impossible. It should have collapsed into a black hole of talent, concentrating all human creativity into a singularity.
I'm sure now-Doctor of Astronomy Brian May could explain it better.
@@toddmathers5075 America centric view. If it's not a hit in America then it doesn't count? Arrogant.
My American view is that all 4 of them, individually, have been elected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
They didn’t get much attention here after the video parade of some British show. Idiots over here just saw a bunch of dudes in dresses. This caused both brain cells to collide and come up with the assumption that Queen was a group of transvestites🙄
"Show must go on" is also one fricin good song and killer queen also
"His voice is strong as hell". You're not lying. That's why every single cover of a Queen song ever done isn't as good as the original. It doesn't matter how good the person doing the cover is - there was only ever one Freddie Mercury.
You have to react to Queen's set at the 1985 Live Aid concert. One of the most important and greatest moments in rock history. It's about 20 minutes long but it is well worth the time.
Live Aid is a must.
They actually reacted to the We Are The Champions Live Aid performance a few days ago.
Facts!
Yes!!! 💁🏻♀️
I second this
You were right about the church. Freddie was a big Aretha fan, this was Queens tribute to gospel.
Rico nailed it! 💪🏽
Wow, a tribute I didn't know about that. very cool :)
Freddie Mercury's known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. One of the greatest frontman in rock music! Second to none!
It's hard to decide whether Freddy's musicianship or stage presence was more overwhelming. He could have made himself dictator, if he'd wanted to. I'm not at all sure we wouldn't all be better off if he had.
Not just in Rock Music. Just in music period!
Y'all going down the rabbit hole of Queen. Keep on going, they are an Amazing Band and one of my absolute favorite, they never disappoint!
There's a reason Queen is still relevant 40+ years later, the talent is undeniable.
this song is soulful because its an homage to aretha franklin. freddie loved her and thus why this song has this gospel, church feel to it. great reaction
Was 3rd row center stage when I saw them in the early 80's. Absolutely amazing show live. Freddie was a master showman.
I'm SO jelly of you!! I would've love to have gone and seen Queen and Freddie Mercury live!!!!
I LOVE how, after that Ah-mazing opening run, Freddie says, “Ok, let’s do it”!!! Puts a smile on my face Every time. Every time! It’s so Freddie. Like he didn’t just DO something amazing. So good. ❤️
You get an A+ for music appreciation. So many young people today don't get it, but you do. I saw Queen in 1980 and they didn't disappoint!
This is Freddie's gospel song so your references to Church are spot on. He so admired Aretha Franklin that this is his tribute to her style and class. It also was Freddie's favorite song to sing live and perhaps his favorite Queen song, period. This performance is outstanding and your reaction was perfect, what an honor to be able to still see these great performances so many years later. Thank you.
THANK YOU! It’s more impressive considering they didn’t have any electronic assistance. No lip syncing, no overlay tracks. That is all the band and the Great Freddy Mercury. Thanks for reacting to this one!
Freddie always takes you to church. True Legend. The greatest thing about Queen is that whenever you hear one of their songs you go, "Man, this is my favorite Queen song." So many hits and they're all equally amazing.
It's so great to see young people find this music.
It really is!
Queen and Freddie Mercury (RIP) are a perfect match like no other! His voice is timeless and always on point. Great reaction/feedback video... Merry Christmas to you guys! Peace!
There is not such a thing called Queen and Freddie Mercury - he would immediately tell you so - he was the lead singer in the band called Queen.
There will never be anyone like Freddie! Amazing!
Freddie had one of the best voices in history! The second voice in Roger Taylor, the drummer, he had a much higher voice, but a wonderful one!
Freddie's favourite singer was Aretha and boy does it sound like it here. Just consider his story: quiet little Farrokh Bulsara, moving to England in the 1960s, back when racism was open and everywhere. He turned himself into Freddie Mercury. Everything about this is amazing but props to Roger Taylor on drums. There are other world-famous bands whose lead singers aren't as good as he is on vocals here, and he does it while hitting the shit out of those things. John Deacon holds it together on bass - the quiet man who wrote their biggest US hit Another One Bites The Dust - and then Brian May, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, playing the guitar he and he father made out some bits of wood and parts of a motorbike. What a band. What a fucking band.
Totally agree! ♥️
And fyi... Brian May has a doctorate degree in astrophysics !
While not minimizing Freddy's experiences with horrible bigotry in the slightest, I'd only disagree with you on one point there, and that's that English racism not being "open and everywhere" has ever been a thing. If anything, it's worse now than it's been in a long time. Even Starmer's Labour is calling for the corrupt Met to "shoot first and ask questions about racism later", even though they've repeatedly proven that they already do that, very enthusiastically.
Absolutely accurate
No auto tune, they play their own instruments, write their own music. Great music.
Queen never dissapoints, especially live,they will give their all ,showcasing everyone's talent. They're not just a talented Musician they're also well educated, the fact that the Lead Guitarist has a PHD in Astronomy,now we call him Dr. Brian May🤟. There a tons of songs that they made ,they made anthems like we will rock you and we are the champions,you gotta discover more you probably hear before, check out one of their Dope song with a great Bass Riff " Another One Bites The Dust studio version or Live from this comcert in Montreal. Thanks,love your reaction.I enjoy so far🤟🤟🤟🤟Merry Christmas 🎄New subbies here👑
Freddie had a degree in graphic art and designed Queen's logo. John Deacon had an advanced degree in electrical engineering, and built the amp (from parts he found in the trash) that Brian used to get the Queen sound. Roger Taylor had a degree in biology. And Brian with his degree in astrophysics, has worked with NASA on space projects. Also, all four are in the songwriter's hall of fame, and have written number 1 songs.
I so appreciate your love for good true pure talented musicians, doesn’t matter the genre, music is food for the soul, all of it !!!!
Freddie was an awesome performer and is so sorely missed . the band did a tribute concert for Freddie when he died and George Michael performed this song at the show and well, he stole the whole show right out , no one can ever do Freddie justice but George did a fantastic job singing this if you guys want to check it out . Loved your reaction and i think you both are wonderful bringing this music back to the forefront and reminding people how good music and artists were back in my day and bringing the younger generations to the music .
Ohhh yes, Freddie has soul!! Nothing like a Queen concert!! Your faces and your reaction say it all !
So you found the legendary band queen! Good for you 😊 Freddie is considered the goat of vocalists. Check out “queen at live aid” it’s considered their best performance ever. For real check it out you’ll love it.
You are at the very opening of the Queen rabbit hole. Love watching young people finding Queen for the first time. Great reaction!
I have this on my Playlist instead of the studio version. I ride around singing this one loud in the car! Lol. Great reaction! 👍🤍
Oh, the days of real music; incredible talent.
Totally agree with you!!!
Straight up one of the best live performances of all time lol. It's that good
Thank you for reacting to this. I have to admit I’m loving your reactions to the older songs (just because I’m old). There will be many more suggestions of Queen songs to listen to, but please have a look at Save Me, again from Montreal. It shows the versatility of the group and the timing of Freddie singing and then moving to the piano is just something to behold. Keep it going from a new fan in the UK 👍🏻
This is live, no bloody auto tune and any of that crud, just shear talent, todays acts aren't fit to... well you know what I mean.
You guys should check out their “Live Aid” performance. The entire world was watching that when it happened. Queen stole the show. 👍
and nooooo autotune. To add to this, all of Queen's live stuff is stellar.
This is one of my favorite performances, it's like 3 encores in one song! Great reaction, it's impossible not to fall in love with Queen after a live performance! I hope you continue the journey!✌♥️ MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
RIP Freddie. “It’s like being in church”. Think Freddie would have taken that as a huge compliment. It’s great to see the new generations enjoying what i grew up with. 👏👏

There's Nothing like watching Freddie Mercury perform🤘
Love seeing new people discover Queen and Freddie! Awesome music and Freddie was just incredible. So many years later and their music is still epic!
Love this song so much. When I grew up my brothers were huge Queen fans. Its just me now and I am so happy to see people still appreciate the beauty of Queen. If I may suggest Seven Sea of Rye. It makes me cry but its so strong. Freddie was a proper rockstar. Queen defined an era. Have a new sub
Freddie put a smile on your girls face the whole time! Lol
That's rare
Now listen to the official video for this song. You hear all their harmonies. Both versions are amazing.
Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and this song was his homage to her and her style. They referred to it as white gospel.
Seeing QUEEN live was always the best way...been to many of their concerts in the late 70s early 80s,,,always a great time,,When concerts were big and fun''
Such an adorable couple, younger than my children watching you two gives me hope
The late, all time great, Freddie Mercury!!! 🔥
My favorite song My favorite performance. Been a Queen fan a long time Freddies vocals are unmatched all 4 of them create a wall of sound that no one can touch. You should do the video as well great reaction.
ONE OF A KIND! FREDDIE HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES IVE EVER HEARD. THEY WERE AMAZING TOGETHER👑❤❤
Love it. My favorite as well. The performance and the HD just makes it so… so great.
Thanks for the terrific reaction. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for Freddie and the band. This band DOES have soul!!! Deacy on bass holding down the rhythm with Roger who kills on drums and adds his own amazing vocals and Brian May on guitar - his guitar "sings" and always gets a verse (and Brian sings and adds to the harmonies)... The talent here is overwhelming. I love the harmonies this band produces. Sometimes you will want to do a studio version of a song to really appreciate that part of their talent. The live performances were intended by the group to be unique and different from the studio versions. There is value in both. I would recommend next "Save Me" from the same 1981 show.

FWIW, you two are now my favorite reactors, you look to really get the magnificence of Freddy Mercury and Queen! Thank you.
Thank you so much!!
you should also react to Save Me live in 1981 Montreal. My favorite version of the song!
Roger is amazing on this - he’s my favourite drummer and probably vocalist too. So very under rated. Love his solo work too.
Now that you have reacted to this classic Queen performance you need to check out a completely different side of them with "Love Of My life" from Wembley 1986, "White Queen" at the Hammersmith Video, and then each song on side Black of Queen II LP! Merry Christmas to you both!!!
I see that Prince disc hanging on the wall behind you. If you're a Prince fan, you _NEED_ to see the cover of an old Beatles song called "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Jeff Lynne (lead singer of ELO), Tom Petty and Prince (among other musicians). Prince steals the show with his guitar solo at the end. BTW, rumor has it, Superman wears a Queen shirt.😉
That's a million percent on the list! I'd really like them to hear the original first by The Beatles, one ELO song with Jeff, and one Tom Petty song, (I'm assuming they've heard a Prince song), so they can fully appreciate the talent on that stage. You'll definitely see that legendary performance on this channel. They are gonna freak over Prince's guitar solo. Great suggestion!
the only band in the entire world of music both past and present that sounded just as good if not better live than in a studio pure talent from every member no autotune what so ever just raw talent like we will never see again R.I.P Freddy
This one was a tribute to Aretha Franklin who Freddie was a big fan of.
I'm aging myself, but I was a freshman at UVM and went to this concert in Montreal. It was amazing! I still remember every song.
Spectacular entertainment here . . .4 Queen musicians unmatched togetherness; Plus, Freddie unmatched performing excellence ... and you! Loved your unabashed appreciation. Great beautiful fun!
Freddie's voice is so strong that it goes over a terrific rock band playing behind him.
Freddy Mercury is one of the best singers who ever lived. Queen is fire! They are straight up artistic geniuses. They are their own vibe! Top 5! 🤣🤣🤣
Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized. Make sure you give credit to Roger's backing vocals while drumming. Not many musicians has a backing vocals like him. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. Also check out "LIVE AID" ❤️🔥
Oh Freddie We Miss and Love You. All the Greats that are up with you, the Shows Must Be Incredible.😁 ❤🤘
Thank you so much for this reaction ❤️ another good one is "under pressure live at Wembley stadium" .......... Merry Christmas 🎄 and have a blessed day 🌻
Greatest singer writer performer always gave everything he had. He could play an audience like it was part of the band.
I wish I could subscribe twice and like this 10 times... I really am feeling your love\appreciation for straight legends. Keep it up bro...
Appreciate you so much!
Queen: Full Live Aid Concert. It's over 20 minutes long, but I have watched other reactions to it, and I promise you that you will not lose anyone clicking off during the whole reaction, despite its length. I actually watched this live on TV at a summer birthday sleepover when I was 12 years old. This Live Aid concert was held on July 13, 1985 and there were two concerts held for Live Aid on that same day: one in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA and the other London, England, UK. MTV had VJ hosts and cameras filming on both sides of the pond and they ran the concert live all day and night. MTV would switch from one concert to the other all day long: they'd show an artist playing in Philadelphia, then one in London, then back to Philly, then back to London ... all day, with interviews from the performers in between line-up changes. It was brilliant! This was back when MTV was at it's absolute best. Many bands and performers participated, including Queen. It was a benefit concert in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. Queen performed from Wembley Stadium in London, England and their performance is so legendary (considered the BEST performance of any performer at Live Aid) that a tagline is famously attached to it: "This is the only time in England's history that, for 20 minutes, the country was ruled by an entirely different Queen."
*** Watch the crowd! Especially during Radio Gaga. Freddie had them in the palm of his hand. Complete crowd control - pay attention at 5:49. CROWD. CONTROL!!!
Here is their set list from that concert:
Bohemian Rhapsody 0:24
Radio Gaga 2:40 ------> Fun Fact: Lady Gaga took her stage name from this song.
Ay-Oh 6:47 (interaction with the crowd)
Hammer to Fall 7:34
Crazy Little Thing Called Love 12:20
We Will Rock You 16:01
We Are The Champions 17:20
Another fun fact: Freddie Mercury was quite sick that day with a throat infection and was advised by his doctor not to perform the concert. He did anyway ... and wow, did he KILL it!

Always a joy to witness people fall in love with Freddie Mercury. The best frontman who ever lived.
I appreciate you two listening to one of the greatest bands to ever perform. One of the greatest front man, greatest voice, and greatest musicians.
Of course freddie is an incredible vocalist, but Brian may (lead guitar) and Roger Taylor (drummer) are both more than capable of filling in when needed, a good example of this is no one but you (only the good die young) which is a tribute to freddie after his death. Queen oozes talent, a truly unique band.
John Deacon is a great bass player and songwriter as well.
Just stumbled upon your channel and have loved all your reactions! Thank you both for taking the time to entertain all of us. Merry Christmas and have a safe New Years!❤
Love how you react to videos by comments alone most do not do this you are becoming one of my fav reactors
Thank you so much!!
George Michael with the remaining members of Queen performing this track in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley stadium is worth reacting too.
The whole concert was a tribute to Freddie after his death. Other acts included, guns n roses, Extreme, Metallica, David Bowie, Elton John and many more
🤣 This one is my favorite is gonna be the new theme on every new Queen Reaction
You guys need to react to the live aid from 85. That performance is still considered the best live performance in history. Freddie held in one hand the mike and in the other one the world.
I'm not even an emotional dude and every time I hear freddie's voice it almost brings me to tears, what a hell of a musician, Queen is not just music, they're art.
As far as writing, this was Freddie's favorite songs! Great reaction! 👑👍Have you ever listened to "Cool Cat "?
I suggest watching the studio version of Somebody to Love. That was also very amazing. This is a 1981 live and the studio version was 1976 (when freddie was young and could hit more high notes)
I Agree with this.
Freddie hit higher notes in this version then in the studio version. His voice just became heavier and darker, but he actually sang higher in the 80's. It is funny how people don't realize this. The highest note in the studio version is a G5, Freddie does more then one G#5 in this live version. People often don't understand what high notes really sounds like.
Great reaction, guys. Pretty much a once in a lifetime performance - Queen, Freddie, and you. Thank you…
There has never been anyone like him. Freddie was one in a billion! Best frontman vocalist of a band ever. There are a lot of greats don't get me wrong - but Freddie was THE most prolific, energetic, charismatic, talented etc.
He was was also good friends with Michael Jackson. Many considered Freddie the rock n roll equivalent of MJ due to his sheer level of stage presence and showmanship.
We the world lost him way too soon - not just an amazing artist, but also an amazing human being who truly loved people, the world, humanity, etc.
Other band vocalists who have singing voices that can compare: Steve Perry of Journey, Brad Delp of Boston, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, and for the female side, the greatest all time is Flor Jansen of NightWish, but others near her level are Amy Lee of Evanesence and Ann Wilson of Heart
Freddie passed my senior year in high school(Yes I old) and it BROKE MY HEART.😞
I can see the pure joy in both of your faces when you react to Queen. It is very nice to see. Queen is definitely one of the all time greatest bands.
Absolutely love seeing the younger generations getting enjoyment out of bands like this. This is my childhood. So much amazing music. You should try some pink Floyd if you haven't already. Comfortably numb is a good one to start with.
The next reaction you will say "this is my favourite song" ,this is the Queen power!
Queen is just EPIC! There will never be another band like them. I'm so blessed to have grown up during those times with such great music. LOVE QUEEN!
This is a live concert, no auto tune, synthesizers, just raw talent.
Freddie the genius, a great entertainer will go down in history with the greats, The Beatles, Elvis, Sinatra & MJ
Some artists musicianship and talents dont stand the test of time. Freddie's certainly does
Oh yeah, this is my favorite live performance. No one can sing better than Freddie. There are some who can sing as well, but not better. Just the most phenomenal, entertaining, talented front man of all time. Continue to RIP Freddie! Great reaction!
Somebody probably mentioned it but check out the story of Brian May's guitar, he and his father actually built it themselves.
He's a clever bunny. He was chancellor of John Moore's in Liverpool in the noughties
You should also check out the live version of “I’m in love with my car”. Roger (the drummer) wrote it and sings it while playing drums, 🔥
You will not regret going down the queen rabbit hole, check out thank God it's Christmas, also I highly recommend checking out a very underrated Queen song called cool cat
This was in front of 250,000 people. Queen live was amazing. More. You’ll love it !!
Queen was a blast to see live. And based on what you like about this song, you guys will love Edgar Winter's live version of Frankenstein.
First time I see a huge smile on your girls face, and a lovely smile 😊.
My dad was lucky enough to see them 8 times in concert. One of his favorite bands. I envy that so much haha. One time would be a bucket list moment in my book!
You just witnessed a true G.O.A.T. Live!!! Nobody can touch Freddie/Queen. R.I.P. Freddie. Even after all this time, we still love you too!! Please check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" both live and the video. "Love of my life". "In My Defense" and so much more. Obviously, you will recognize "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" Best band EVER!!!
I first heard this song in the movie “Ella Enchanted” sung by the actors, and thought to myself, “man, this sounds like a Queen song!”, come to find out that it is. Now I hear it all the time. Mind you that I grew up in the 70s and 80s but just didn’t know this song.
