We paid £25 for a ticket, but £20 went into the donation fund. And honestly, if the ticket had cost £250 it would have been worth every single penny. We have been on a lot of live events, even Queen concerts, yet THIS was the very best performance EVER. It was a once-in-a-lifetime-thing, and still gives me goosebumps thinking back to that day. And we didn't even know Queen would be there when we bought the tickets. There have been some great acts that day, yet Queen stole the show with ease. The stage presence of Freddy was/is out of this world. He held us all in the palm of his hand. We had been in that stadium for about 7 hours when Queen came on stage. We were tired, thirsty, hungry and really ready to leave. 1 minute into their performance we forgot all that. It was an awesome experience and nothing after this did even come close.
I couldn't get tickets, but my friends and I were watching in a pub nearby. When Queen came out, the entire street filled. We sang our hearts out. It is impossible to explain the feeling. But I'll never forget it.
Great reaction. Yes I was in that crowd. I was 16 years old and was my first ever concert. I think my ticket cost me £18.00 give and take a few quid. Queen weren't on the official line up nor on the tickets so none of us knew for sure whether they were going to appear. After 6 hours in the London sunlight we were all getting a bit jaded, then at 6.41pm Queen were announced and we just all went crazy. We were all fully rejuvenated and the atmosphere was electric, it was an experience I'll never forget. The whole 72,000 of us became united through their music and it was phenomenal. Freddie was amazing and just had us eating out of his hands. I was hooked and so I saw them again the following year twice. One back at Wembley in July 1986 and then again in Knebworth in August 1986 which turned out to be Freddie's ever last LIVE performance with Queen as he got his diagnosis in Easter of 1987 and then slowly his body was started to let him down, even though his voice grew stronger than ever. I have been a fan ever since and I am now 55. Keep down that Queen rabbit hole, you're platform will continually get a huge boost as the Queen army is massive so keep up the good work. Stay safe from Manchester UK. Freddie was also mooning and proving a point to a man he truly hated Norman Sheffield (to which the band penned a song dedicated to him called Death on Two Legs), to which Norman came back at them with a book entitled "Life on Two Legs". He was the band's first manager and did literally rip them all off. They never had a penny to their names but he rocked upto work in a Rolls Royce !!! It was only when John Deacon asked for some money to buy a house (and got refused) that the band realised they were being taken for a complete ride and got free of him. The showing of his backside was to him to say "up yours" we made big, and without you, you mother******. RIP you beautiful Persian Poppinjay (in Freddie's own words) you were and STILL are that LEGEND you always wanted to be dahling. The GOAT, Freddie Mercury xxxxxxx
Thank you for recognizing the tremendous job John does on bass. Too often Brian is cheered for his solos, but it's the bass that holds it all together.
Agree - the bass and the drums are the foundation on which the other band members build. And together the four of them are unbeatable as far as I am concerned.
I was there that day in 1985 as a 15yr old pop music lover... I left that day as a convert to rock music, thanks mainly to Freddie & Co... You need to remember that this was NOT a Queen concert or even a Queen audience, in fact they were a last minute addition to the line up. That said for 22 minutes that afternoon Freddie had close to 73,000 people in Wembley and almost 1.9 billion watching on TV globally eating out of the palm of his hand. I'm now a 55yr old woman who's been to 300ish live rock concerts over the years but that 22 minutes right there is still by far the best 22 minutes of live greatness EVER! God bless you Freddie.. RIP you legend 👑👑👑
Spike Edny (the current keyboardist for Queen) was the 5th invisible member of Queen. Whenever Freddie was seated at the keys, he was playing but when he got up from the piano and you could still hear the piano playing what you were hearing was Spike just off stage on an identical piano playing. During their full concerts there were always a few songs where Spike came out on stage and played wither keys or joined in with Brian on electric guitar. It was Spike who sort of discovered current lead singer Adam Lambert. He was watching American Idol and saw Adam and called Brian and Roger the next day and told them that he just saw their next lead singer. The rest is history but since Adam does not play keys, Spike became a permanent on-stage member of the band and has been their main keyboardist ever since.
I was there answering the phones and no one was calling when queen hit the stage the phone started ringing and in just 22 min we raised 4 million pounds. 😊
Brian and Roger said in an interview that the acoustic in stage was so bad, that they had to rely only on themselves (they were the only band to rehearse all week prior) and their gestures and experience playing big stadiums in spring that year. They were the true champions of the world.
I couldn't get tickets, but I headed down to a pub outside the stadium. Live Aid was on every television. When Queen came on, people just streamed into the streets, and we all sung our hearts out. There were a lot of great bands that day. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
It truly was, and it felt like every single person in the country was watching along and experiencing it all at the same time. What a magic time it was.
@@ALMUK22other countries too. I watched in Sydney where it was broadcast live. I was mesmerised by Queen’s performance then (I was a huge fan) and I’m mesmerised still. This performance gives me goosebumps, tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Awestruck.
@@juneabbott6805 That’s so good to hear. It was, as @cmoplay1 suggested, a very special and precious event to experience, and a once in a lifetime opportunity. I feel so lucky, and indeed privileged, to have lived through that time and it feels special to connect with people in other countries who were part of that collective experience. I believe you can only truly and fully comprehend the impact of Live Aid if you witnessed it at the time. I’ll always feel so very grateful that I was young during the eighties.
Freddie mooning the crowd is really a sign to his exmanager who said they would never make it as a band. The microphone without a stand became a Freddie trademark after one of their earlier performances the stand broke. He kept using the microphone anyway.
I saw Queen back in the late ‘70’s in concert in Buffalo, NY, and I can’t swear to it but I’m pretty sure the price of the ticket was less than $10-which would be a little less than $50 today….best entertainment dollars I ever spent! As amazing as Queen is on video, seeing them live at or near their height of ability was a concert experience beyond all expectations. So much talent on that stage; just amazing!
Thank you from a 82 year old vintage Queenie from the States who fell in love back in 1976 when I rocked mini skirts and knee high boots. I have remained in love through parenthood, 2 marriages, 2 grown grand children, elastic waist trousers and sensible shoes. Queen captured my heart and never let go. So again, thank you. It’s reactors like you who are introducing Queen to new generations, securing their status as true legends and acknowledging the brilliance of how 4 individuals, each with completely different personalities to each other, managed to make musical magic and musical history. 👑🎹🎸🥁🎸🎤🎹 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶
As such a royal fan I have a Question, can you listen to the latest Queen tracks. Like Mother Love? These are the days of our lives? Tracks that pierce most Queen fans hearts, but most haven been along since 76. Freds passing must have been a tragedy for someone like you, ot still is for all of us. Teo Torriate.
@@merqury5 if your question is for me, yes. I have listened to those tracks, many times. I only recently watched the videos because TH-cam reactors view them. I didn’t realize such videos existed. Now, I take great pleasure in watching ALL the available videos and know that new generations are as passionate about the band as we who loved them for years.
BTW, Freddie’s passing gutted me and I was 49 years old then. I knew he was ill but being in the USA, Queen had fallen out of sight for a while and not much news reached us until it was over. I remember playing my, Queen’s Greatest Hits cassette ad nauseum. I had their albums in various forms, from 8-tracks and cassettes to vinyl. Both my 8-track and cassette versions deteriorated over the years by my vinyls are alive and well.
It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”
Hi guys! I was one of the BILLION + people in the world who watched this show on TV in New Jersey, USA. I think it was the FIRST show ever to be simulcast with solo artists/bands in the USA and solo artists/bands in the UK and viewed all over the world. We can thank Bob Geldof, who produced this mega show, for his incredible creativity and for getting all these remarkable, ingenious, magical bands and soloists to perform on this one fantastic day! I don't think we'll ever see the likes of it again...though, God knows, we need it now more than ever. Regardless of genre, I believe that music is a beautiful unifier. There is a short video on youtube which shows Queen rehearsing for this show - one of the few bands that actually rehearsed. In the video you can see huge clocks hung on the walls so that the band knew exactly how much time each song took. To make everything fit the 20 minute timeframe, they shortened some songs, sped up others. Queen were PERFECTIONISTS in everything they did and it showed in every Queen concert I was so fortunate to attend in the 1970s in New York and in 1981 in Montreal. To see Brian, Roger, John and Freddie up close and personal was PURE MAGIC! 🥰 Wish you could have been there...but, then, you two would be as old as I am...LOL!
Incredible... 40 years later... they continue taking my breath away..... I recommend you a live version of too much love will kill you, with Brian and Pavarotti.....
What set queen apart from all the other artists to perform this day was everyone else was making it personal or really sombre but queen went out and played 20 mins of their greatest hits 7 songs in 20 mins and rocked Wembley like no one else could R.I.P FRED thanks for showing us how to perform and captivate an audience also helps when you got brian Rodger and john standing behind you
A clip that will blow you away is from a green day concert that played Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody before their concert and all the fans sang every word of the song and even hummed along to Brian’s solos. It is something to experience. The crowd sings so precisely you hear every word.
It really is an experience. No live band, the crowd full of fans of another band, but Bohemian Rhapsody runs deep in our DNA. I was raised on Queen’s music, am sat here quietly appreciating my parents taste in music and owning so many fantastic albums. I’ll deffo watch these guys react to it the Green Day Crowd singing BR. 😌
I love listening to reactors who know what it is all about - so I can learn too - - most are American teens - rappers - and it is nice to see them wonder - - but thank you - keep going.
I honestly don’t know why I feel like crying a bit… I’ve seen this a gazillion times. Maybe it’s because I just stumbled across you guys and it’s obvious you feel the same way I do about the GOAT … QUEEN 👑 and my darling FREDDIE 🥰 Plz keep going esp more LIVE QUEEN 👑✌🏼 ( There are many of us down in the rabbit hole waiting for guys like you to come along 😂)
They were nervous because they weren’t on the list of bands until much later. They weren’t sure if this was going to be their audience because there were so many new bands. They were so thrilled to see the audience react to them
I was at this concert as a young 24 year old and now all those years later as a still young 63 year old I still listen to queen daily, they easily stole the show that day despite now being on the original pre show line up as they were a last minute addition. If I remember rightly the price of the ticket was only £5 but came with an additional £20 charity donation , so £25 which was alot of cash back in them days but so worth it just for the experience . Not all the bands were so good, I can remember Adam and the ants playing and they were awful. For 22 minutes in 1985 the uk was ruled by a different queen, absolutely brilliant. Great reaction once again lads , it's great to see younger generations experience the amazing talent that this band had.
Have checked the comments and no-one has recommended "Liar" live at the Rainbow 1974. All four members get their chance to shine in this performance - especially John Deacon's part as he is not often featured openly. The song is full of change of direction, different "textures", just brilliant. Queen are never boring, you never know what direction the performance is going to next. I hope you love it as much as I do!
That being said there are alsostill a lot of "pretty fanatical" Queen "HATERS"...I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHY😮...IMHO Queen were BRILLIANT from the release of Seven Seas of Rhye all the way through to Mother Love.
The fifth person who took over the piano for Freddie was Spike Edney. You can hear him very well during Crazy Little Thing Called Love. He used to tour with the band so Freddie could move around the stage. If I remember correctly he still yours with them.
There is a 5th member live... Spike Edney, still touring with Queen to this day on keys and occasional guitar. You can spot him behind John on keys on a couple of shots. I met Spike once, and he was a real nice guy.
First saw Queen at Manchester University Students Union - no cost - I have been a fan ever since. My grandson now insists on playing Queen when he is in our car
Freddie was this amazing even after having laryngitis the week before. He was heard to say it felt like he was singing with a throat full of glass shards.
@@MoreMeetArthur I'm not sure. They're probably put away in a shoebox somewhere. I don't remember us listening back to it much but we didn't have a VCR at the time. The whole show was great but obviously Queen stood out.
72, 000 thousand people in Attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world ,which was 1/4 of the world at that time .Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection. He said it felt like broken glass . Live Aid made 140 million dollars for famine in Africa. When the boys left the stage a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million.
Also back in the day; no ear pieces. Had to rely on the monitors. Brian plays 3 different guitars during crazy little thing & when Freddie says “take it Brian” the Red Special comes in. And yes when you went to a show you were basically left deaf for days.
Keyboard player is Spike Edney still playing with Queen and Adam Lambert today. Brain built this guitar with his dad the guitar is called The Red special.
In the 70's early 80's a Queen ticket in Los Angeles was around $10 US or less depending on the location in the venue, if you got them at the box office. If you had to get them from Ticket Scalpers or ticket agencies the price would be considerably more. The only way to get a box office ticket was to spend the night outside of it and be there when they opened in the morning, but even then, most of the good seats were already gone. It didn't matter, a Queen show was spectacular and any seat was a beautiful gift. Brian talks about how intelligent Roger is, he says he has a hard time keeping up with him. Coming from Brian, that says a lot about Roger. Drummers never get credit for being much more than eye candy, particularly when you are as cute as Roger but if you watch him while he is playing, he is completely in the zone, incredible drummer. John is quiet but you know he is brilliant, you can see that he is locked in and well in the pocket..and of course, Freddie is genius, I doubt that anyone would dispute that. Part of what made Queen so good was what each member brought to the band both musically and intellectually. Panning in the early days came from splitting the stereo. So many tricks were needed in the studio back then. Spike Edney is a multi-instrumentalist who is often referred to as the 5th member of Queen. He covers the keys (piano/synth) when Freddie is up front and will play a guitar if they need him in live shows. Occasionally he will come out with a guitar and play along side of Brian just for fun. White Queen live Odeon, Hammersmith will blow your mind. It is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates Queen. Vocally and instrumentally it is one of the best live performances ever.
If you think 72,000 is a big crowd then I highly recommend you watch Queen performing 6 months prior to Live Aid in front of over 250,000 people at the Rock in Rio festival especially the song Love Of My Life in which the crowd are sing the song in perfect English taking into account they speak Portuguese in Brazil.
Queen understood the assignment on this one. Queen was known for rehearsing and doing more sound checks than other bands. 1/4 of the world watched them. I saw Queen in the USA (cost $12) and they spoiled me as I expected all bands to sound as mesmerizing but this band had 4 incredible musicians and Freddie Mercury who had the gorgeous voice and charisma to enthrall all of us. Still the best concert I’ve seen and I’ve seen many. Roger tuned his drums. John Deacon took home an organ piano and learned it to write I Want To Be Free. Brian learned to play a harp for Greddie’s Love of My Life song about Mary Austin. All four were amazing songwriters and professional musicians! BoRap is a masterpiece. There are others but you have to go down the Queen rabbit hole to find them. Enjoy!
Been to 5 Queen shows, all in Toronto Canada, in the late 70's Had a great time at each one. Bohemian Rhapsody was played by the band, then the studio part was played with lights flashing, and then the band returned to the stage, finishing the song. Absolutely fantastic!! One show, they lowered a massive Queen crown down from the ceiling, covering the entire stage, it was enormous!! All their shows with Freddie were mesmerizing, ultra professional, amazingly creative, four genius musicians. Adam Lambert, I believe, is Freddie's personal pick for a replacement vocalist. He's still there, and a show done in Japan shows technology which allowed for Freddie's participation, he and Lambert together!! ❤❤Never to be forgotten, Freddie is a one-off, a truly unique individual with a singing voice and personal charisma never rivalled. Thank you to Brian, Roger and Adam, for keeping his memory alive. 🎉😊❤
Another youtuber broke down this set. Each band was given no more than 20 minutes, Queen rehearsed it so well that the montage of hits (and the crowd singalong section), fit seamlessly into their allotted time. By the end Roger Taylor had kept the tempo of the entire 20 minute set to within 10 seconds.
The green light at the front of the stage changed to red immediately upon Queen finishing. They rehearsed the set with clocks that Ratty had gone out and bought.
Lots of memories popping up. My first record was from Queen, I became fan and I've seen them life in the Netherlands in 1986 and Queen brought me to bombastic metal. Still graceful for that! Sincerally, Dutch metalhead...
It was fascinating to see them working together on creating a song like that. Fun and friction, but my goodness Freddie knew what he wanted to hear! Now I know where the 'Fried chicken' came from. 😂
I watched the whole thing live on tv that day, was already a fan but they blew everyone away seemingly David Bowie was going on next and said “ how the F am I supposed to follow this ☮️ ❤️ 🏴
The secret to Brian May's guitar tone...AC 30 amps - treble booster - and a guitar wired so he can choose any combination of pickups AND he can change the phase of all the pickups.
the first time i saw Queen was on saturday dec 1st 1979 at the glasgow apollo, and i paid £4.75 for my ticket, i still have my white satin scarf from the show 👑✊🇬🇧
not anymore - You know they are still touring - Brian and Roger + Adam Lambert and Spike Edney and a bass player and a drummer -- years ago it was Rogers son - a very accompliced drummer - .
@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 We were talking about Queen + Edney at Live Aid. Bollocks to Queen + The Freak. I'm a Queen fan from 1973 until 1997 when John Deacon left.
Wembley 1986 when Freddie is singing with the crowd before they perform Under Pressure goes on even longer ending with Freddie saying................. Nah I won't spoil it so you'll just have to watch it lol
Lady Ga Ga's producer, Robert Fusari, told her that she reminded him of the famous Queen song "Radio Ga Ga." From then on, Stefani Germanotta (which is her real name) took on the moniker proudly.
Thank you. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this history making performance. Yes. The band WERE nervous before they hit the stage. This was discussed by Roger and Brian in later interviews. Both commented on Freddie’s call / response. Brian referred to it as an abyss you can call into. Freddie being Freddie, he just waved his hand and magic happened. Roger was worried the response wouldn’t be very loud, you need the “Wembley Roar” to be effective. Obviously the audience belted out their response and the “Wembley Roar” was decidedly evident. After all these years , despite having watched this performance countless times, it still gives me chills and reminds me how damned amazing Queen are. Wonderful to watch a new generation appreciate the musical genius of this unique band. Thank you again ❤
Really good reaction, guys! I'm the same age as Freddie was when he died, and it feels so weird. He was born in the same year as my father was, and he's been like a father figure to me. Nothing wrong with my father; I love him so much, and he's still alive. I'm from the Music TV generation, and I fell in love with Queen when I was 8 or 9. I still remember the day Freddie died. I was 12 years old then. I love the whole band, and when I was thinking about other great guitarists other than Brian May, David Gilmour was the first to come to my mind. I've been lucky enough to see him live in The Royal Albert Hall. Wish I could have seen Queen live as well.
Went to the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 92,I still have the ticket stub at £70, alot of the tickets were £25, but it was worth every penny. Shout out from Manchester...
The band on stage before them was Dire Straits who did "Sultans of Swing" and "Money for Nothing" with Sting.That performance is great and you should check it out. Also check out some of Queen's later songs from when Freddie was sick like "Innuendo", "Scandal", and "Show Must Go On". They sort of just went balls to the wall creatively. But you're right. Queen was maybe the most educated band ever. Brian May is an astrophysicist, Roger Taylor was in dental school, John Deacon is an electrical engineer, and Freddie was a fashion student.
You guys had mentioned the camera man participating during Radio Ga Ga. Everyone had their eyes on Queen. Did you happen to notice the security guys in the yellow shirts? They weren’t making sure no one was going to run up to the stage. They were watching Queen’s performance!
Worth noting the the crowd didn't know queen was there as they were not announced till just before the show. He does the call and response at every concert. Now I'm here at Wembley Saturday 86 and Liar 1977 singing a song from their first album,each member get a chance to shine both of them will show you how they rock and audience. Just subscribed 😊
I was lucky enough to grow up in the Greater Cleveland, OH area during the peak of "Album Oriented Rock" radio. Queen always toured here. So, I saw at least one show from every tour from 1974 thru the Hot Space tour. Sometimes I would see 3 shows in 3 different cities over a 7-day period & each was slightly different. No cookie cutter, going through the motions BS. No doubt the most professional, "give it their all" band ever. They loved & respected their fans.
Fabulous reaction to the best live performance ever! I have seen this performance too many times to count & it still thrills me every time! More Queen pls, any Queen song is a good song & they were almost always better live! Thx guys, brilliant, love from Oz🇦🇺
This was a charity concert with all the worlds biggest stars performing. Queen were largely thought to be finished at this point. Freddie had a throat infection that day and doctors advised him not to perform but he went out anyway. The audience was not a 'Queen' audience as there were so many people performing that day. Queen STOLE THE WHOLE SHOW!! It is widely regarded to be the finest live performance or all time. And all this without a soundcheck before they went on .
Thank you for an amazing evening it’s great when we can interact with you Live Aid was Queen’s greatest performance of all time look forward to more x x

Freddie was also mooning and proving a point to a man he truly hated Norman Sheffield (to which the band penned a song dedicated to him called Death on Two Legs), to which Norman came back at them with a book entitled "Life on Two Legs". He was the band's first manager and did literally rip them all off. They never had a penny to their names but he rocked upto work in a Rolls Royce !!!

RIP you beautiful Persian Poppinjay (in Freddie's own words) you were and STILL are that LEGEND you always wanted to be dahling. The GOAT, Freddie Mercury xxxxxxx
It was said that for those 20 minutes a different Queen ruled England. 😮
How true! 👑 forever! ❤

Not to mention the absolutely iconic basslines from John that are instantly recognizable all over the world!
More than 72 thousand there 72 k is just people sitting in the seats not the people on the pitch plus over 1.5 billion watched this on tv

Fred Mandel, a Canadian did it from 82 to 84, then Spike took over.
Queen was the best band EVER. Their versatility is unmatched, and Freddie was a magical being.

"What instrument do you play?"
Freddie: "The audience, darling."

Agreed!
No doubt about it mate. It's not even fair how much talent one man can have.
The "secret 5th member" of Queen during Concerts is Spike Edney. He plays Piano and Guitar.
Thank you 🙌
During Crazy Little Thing Called Love you can see Spike Edney playing the piano
Nobody played the audience as masterfully as Freddie. Nice reaction.
When asked “what instrument do you play” he answered “the audience darling”
Freddie mooning the crowd is really a sign to his exmanager who said they would never make it as a band. The microphone without a stand became a Freddie trademark after one of their earlier performances the stand broke. He kept using the microphone anyway.
I saw Queen back in the late ‘70’s in concert in Buffalo, NY, and I can’t swear to it but I’m pretty sure the price of the ticket was less than $10-which would be a little less than $50 today….best entertainment dollars I ever spent! As amazing as Queen is on video, seeing them live at or near their height of ability was a concert experience beyond all expectations. So much talent on that stage; just amazing!
Worth every penny I bet!
Thank you from a 82 year old vintage Queenie from the States who fell in love back in 1976 when I rocked mini skirts and knee high boots. I have remained in love through parenthood, 2 marriages, 2 grown grand children, elastic waist trousers and sensible shoes. Queen captured my heart and never let go. So again, thank you. It’s reactors like you who are introducing Queen to new generations, securing their status as true legends and acknowledging the brilliance of how 4 individuals, each with completely different personalities to each other, managed to make musical magic and musical history. 👑🎹🎸🥁🎸🎤🎹 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶
As such a royal fan I have a Question, can you listen to the latest Queen tracks. Like Mother Love? These are the days of our lives? Tracks that pierce most Queen fans hearts, but most haven been along since 76. Freds passing must have been a tragedy for someone like you, ot still is for all of us. Teo Torriate.
@@merqury5 if your question is for me, yes. I have listened to those tracks, many times. I only recently watched the videos because TH-cam reactors view them. I didn’t realize such videos existed. Now, I take great pleasure in watching ALL the available videos and know that new generations are as passionate about the band as we who loved them for years.
BTW, Freddie’s passing gutted me and I was 49 years old then. I knew he was ill but being in the USA, Queen had fallen out of sight for a while and not much news reached us until it was over. I remember playing my, Queen’s Greatest Hits cassette ad nauseum. I had their albums in various forms, from 8-tracks and cassettes to vinyl. Both my 8-track and cassette versions deteriorated over the years by my vinyls are alive and well.
Brian’s made his own guitar with his dad. His guitar is called the red special. A fun note Brian uses a six pence as a pick.
It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star.
“Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”
Thee Greatest Band in the world
..and not just a queen audience. any audience! :)
Hi guys! I was one of the BILLION + people in the world who watched this show on TV in New Jersey, USA. I think it was the FIRST show ever to be simulcast with solo artists/bands in the USA and solo artists/bands in the UK and viewed all over the world. We can thank Bob Geldof, who produced this mega show, for his incredible creativity and for getting all these remarkable, ingenious, magical bands and soloists to perform on this one fantastic day! I don't think we'll ever see the likes of it again...though, God knows, we need it now more than ever. Regardless of genre, I believe that music is a beautiful unifier. There is a short video on youtube which shows Queen rehearsing for this show - one of the few bands that actually rehearsed. In the video you can see huge clocks hung on the walls so that the band knew exactly how much time each song took. To make everything fit the 20 minute timeframe, they shortened some songs, sped up others. Queen were PERFECTIONISTS in everything they did and it showed in every Queen concert I was so fortunate to attend in the 1970s in New York and in 1981 in Montreal. To see Brian, Roger, John and Freddie up close and personal was PURE MAGIC! 🥰 Wish you could have been there...but, then, you two would be as old as I am...LOL!
All 4 of Queen members are in the songwriting hall of fame
I think they were the first band
Incredible... 40 years later... they continue taking my breath away.....
I recommend you a live version of too much love will kill you, with Brian and Pavarotti.....
I too … it never gets old : GOAT
The greatest set in music history and will continue to be so for generations to come.
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
What set queen apart from all the other artists to perform this day was everyone else was making it personal or really sombre but queen went out and played 20 mins of their greatest hits 7 songs in 20 mins and rocked Wembley like no one else could R.I.P FRED thanks for showing us how to perform and captivate an audience also helps when you got brian Rodger and john standing behind you
A clip that will blow you away is from a green day concert that played Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody before their concert and all the fans sang every word of the song and even hummed along to Brian’s solos. It is something to experience. The crowd sings so precisely you hear every word.
yeah, please watch. It will give you chills
Yes, please do the Green Day crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody ❤️
It really is an experience. No live band, the crowd full of fans of another band, but Bohemian Rhapsody runs deep in our DNA. I was raised on Queen’s music, am sat here quietly appreciating my parents taste in music and owning so many fantastic albums. I’ll deffo watch these guys react to it the Green Day Crowd singing BR. 😌
That is a epic video!
I was in tears the first time I saw it.
The next act up after Queen was David Bowie. He said "how the FUCK m I supposed to follow that! Pure Respect.
Watch “green day” where only instruments are on stage and the crowd is singing “Bohemian Rapsody”
😊
I love listening to reactors who know what it is all about - so I can learn too - - most are American teens - rappers - and it is nice to see them wonder - - but thank you - keep going.
I agree. Would love to see them react to Blood, Sweat and Tears rendition of God Bless the Child.
Thank you! Werr glad you enjoyed, hope you check out the other videos
I honestly don’t know why I feel like crying a bit… I’ve seen this a gazillion times. Maybe it’s because I just stumbled across you guys and it’s obvious you feel the same way I do about the GOAT … QUEEN 👑 and my darling FREDDIE 🥰 Plz keep going esp more LIVE QUEEN 👑✌🏼 ( There are many of us down in the rabbit hole waiting for guys like you to come along 😂)
Freddie was so natural and comfortable on stage, like he was in his living room 🥰
I love putting this: For one day in 1985 a different Queen ruled England 😊
They were nervous because they weren’t on the list of bands until much later. They weren’t sure if this was going to be their audience because there were so many new bands. They were so thrilled to see the audience react to them
I was at this concert as a young 24 year old and now all those years later as a still young 63 year old I still listen to queen daily, they easily stole the show that day despite now being on the original pre show line up as they were a last minute addition.
If I remember rightly the price of the ticket was only £5 but came with an additional £20 charity donation , so £25 which was alot of cash back in them days but so worth it just for the experience .
Not all the bands were so good, I can remember Adam and the ants playing and they were awful.
For 22 minutes in 1985 the uk was ruled by a different queen, absolutely brilliant.
Great reaction once again lads , it's great to see younger generations experience the amazing talent that this band had.
Have checked the comments and no-one has recommended "Liar" live at the Rainbow 1974. All four members get their chance to shine in this performance - especially John Deacon's part as he is not often featured openly. The song is full of change of direction, different "textures", just brilliant. Queen are never boring, you never know what direction the performance is going to next. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Oh yes Liar is fabulous gets my vote great suggestion ❤
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And White Queen at the Rainbow. Amazing.
Stone Cold Crazy!
@@kristineschneider9322the whole show at the Rainbow
Queen fans are pretty fanatical, we love these guys! Forever!
That being said there are alsostill a lot of "pretty fanatical" Queen "HATERS"...I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHY😮...IMHO Queen were BRILLIANT from the release of Seven Seas of Rhye all the way through to Mother Love.
@@davidrichards6509jealousy, the green-eyed Monster. If you cannot measure up, try and bring down. Too Bad for them. Wueen are untouchable.
Queen fans are the best fans
Very true
@@MoreMeetArthur you too
These were not a Queen crowd, they weren't even supposed to play.
The fifth person who took over the piano for Freddie was Spike Edney. You can hear him very well during Crazy Little Thing Called Love. He used to tour with the band so Freddie could move around the stage. If I remember correctly he still yours with them.
Still tours with them.
@pamelatriffon4408 yes he does. I met him last year at the show in Boston MA.
There is a 5th member live... Spike Edney, still touring with Queen to this day on keys and occasional guitar. You can spot him behind John on keys on a couple of shots.
I met Spike once, and he was a real nice guy.
First saw Queen at Manchester University Students Union - no cost - I have been a fan ever since. My grandson now insists on playing Queen when he is in our car
Great reaction
My 16 year old self didn't realise at the time that I was watching musical superheroes.
How lucky were we .
Lived it
Loved it! ❤
Freddie was this amazing even after having laryngitis the week before. He was heard to say it felt like he was singing with a throat full of glass shards.
Now try to imagine this with Freddie at 100%. The brain gymnastics will leave you spinning.
I sat with my ear glued to the radio listening to this live as it was happening in 1985.
We recorded it off the radio onto cassettes (that's how old I am).
@@AudsVids Hahah, that's amazing! Do you still have them?
@@MoreMeetArthur I'm not sure. They're probably put away in a shoebox somewhere. I don't remember us listening back to it much but we didn't have a VCR at the time. The whole show was great but obviously Queen stood out.
I taped off the telly, on a free old holburn tobacco promo cassette and it is somewhere but I can't remember I'm that old
72, 000 thousand people in Attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world ,which was 1/4 of the world at that time .Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection. He said it felt like broken glass .
Live Aid made 140 million dollars for famine in Africa. When the boys left the stage a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million.
luckily Roger saved Freddie at the end singing the high notes in we are the champions.
Also back in the day; no ear pieces. Had to rely on the monitors.
Brian plays 3 different guitars during crazy little thing & when Freddie says “take it Brian” the Red Special comes in.
And yes when you went to a show you were basically left deaf for days.
Keyboard player is Spike Edney still playing with Queen and Adam Lambert today. Brain built this guitar with his dad the guitar is called The Red special.
In the 70's early 80's a Queen ticket in Los Angeles was around $10 US or less depending on the location in the venue, if you got them at the box office. If you had to get them from Ticket Scalpers or ticket agencies the price would be considerably more. The only way to get a box office ticket was to spend the night outside of it and be there when they opened in the morning, but even then, most of the good seats were already gone. It didn't matter, a Queen show was spectacular and any seat was a beautiful gift. Brian talks about how intelligent Roger is, he says he has a hard time keeping up with him. Coming from Brian, that says a lot about Roger. Drummers never get credit for being much more than eye candy, particularly when you are as cute as Roger but if you watch him while he is playing, he is completely in the zone, incredible drummer. John is quiet but you know he is brilliant, you can see that he is locked in and well in the pocket..and of course, Freddie is genius, I doubt that anyone would dispute that. Part of what made Queen so good was what each member brought to the band both musically and intellectually. Panning in the early days came from splitting the stereo. So many tricks were needed in the studio back then. Spike Edney is a multi-instrumentalist who is often referred to as the 5th member of Queen. He covers the keys (piano/synth) when Freddie is up front and will play a guitar if they need him in live shows. Occasionally he will come out with a guitar and play along side of Brian just for fun. White Queen live Odeon, Hammersmith will blow your mind. It is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates Queen. Vocally and instrumentally it is one of the best live performances ever.
Love you guys. You picked up on all the details. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
No body does lt like Freddie the best so loved and Brian Roger and Decon ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
If you think 72,000 is a big crowd then I highly recommend you watch Queen performing 6 months prior to Live Aid in front of over 250,000 people at the Rock in Rio festival especially the song Love Of My Life in which the crowd are sing the song in perfect English taking into account they speak Portuguese in Brazil.
I also LOVE the Rock in Rio Blues…❤
This is said to be one of the best live performances of all time.
It definitely is
I was at this concert Queen and Freddie..INSANE.. could talk the next day...Still missing you Freddie my love 💓😢
Live AId was insane. More then 2 BILLION people are estimated to have watched it at some point during the broadcast. Like a big part of the planet.
Queen understood the assignment on this one. Queen was known for rehearsing and doing more sound checks than other bands. 1/4 of the world watched them. I saw Queen in the USA (cost $12) and they spoiled me as I expected all bands to sound as mesmerizing but this band had 4 incredible musicians and Freddie Mercury who had the gorgeous voice and charisma to enthrall all of us. Still the best concert I’ve seen and I’ve seen many. Roger tuned his drums. John Deacon took home an organ piano and learned it to write I Want To Be Free. Brian learned to play a harp for Greddie’s Love of My Life song about Mary Austin. All four were amazing songwriters and professional musicians! BoRap is a masterpiece. There are others but you have to go down the Queen rabbit hole to find them. Enjoy!
They were amazingly good as musicians and composers ... and magnificent on stage.
Please remember the movie is just that and not all details are true.
Been to 5 Queen shows, all in Toronto Canada, in the late 70's Had a great time at each one. Bohemian Rhapsody was played by the band, then the studio part was played with lights flashing, and then the band returned to the stage, finishing the song. Absolutely fantastic!! One show, they lowered a massive Queen crown down from the ceiling, covering the entire stage, it was enormous!! All their shows with Freddie were mesmerizing, ultra professional, amazingly creative, four genius musicians. Adam Lambert, I believe, is Freddie's personal pick for a replacement vocalist. He's still there, and a show done in Japan shows technology which allowed for Freddie's participation, he and Lambert together!! ❤❤Never to be forgotten, Freddie is a one-off, a truly unique individual with a singing voice and personal charisma never rivalled. Thank you to Brian, Roger and Adam, for keeping his memory alive. 🎉😊❤
Another youtuber broke down this set. Each band was given no more than 20 minutes, Queen rehearsed it so well that the montage of hits (and the crowd singalong section), fit seamlessly into their allotted time. By the end Roger Taylor had kept the tempo of the entire 20 minute set to within 10 seconds.
The green light at the front of the stage changed to red immediately upon Queen finishing. They rehearsed the set with clocks that Ratty had gone out and bought.
Queen reactions: If you do them, we Queenies will come. We will not steer you wrong!
If your kid said "Daddy, what's a rock star?" you could just play this.
Too true
That was such a great reaction! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and comments. This was so much fun. Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you!
Were really glad you enjoyed it
Lots of memories popping up. My first record was from Queen, I became fan and I've seen them life in the Netherlands in 1986 and Queen brought me to bombastic metal. Still graceful for that! Sincerally, Dutch metalhead...
The greatest performance ever
Thanks guys.
I saw Brian and Roger two years ago (with Adam Lambert). They can still rock the crowd 🤟🤟🤟
I remember watching it on TV, i was 6. Thanks to my big brother i could sing along to every song. Ill never forget it x
So we were right weren’t we. It was right to do the whole show. Glad you loved it too. 😁👍🏾
You have to review their short documentary on the making of One Vision!
It was fascinating to see them working together on creating a song like that. Fun and friction, but my goodness Freddie knew what he wanted to hear! Now I know where the 'Fried chicken' came from. 😂
I recommend One Vision for a reaction. It is Freddy's and the guys' swan song.
The unofficial 5th member of Queen is Spike Edney who took over guitar and piano /keyboard duties for Freddie when he’s on the mic
I watched the whole thing live on tv that day, was already a fan but they blew everyone away seemingly David Bowie was going on next and said “ how the F am I supposed to follow this ☮️ ❤️ 🏴
The secret to Brian May's guitar tone...AC 30 amps - treble booster - and a guitar wired so he can choose any combination of pickups AND he can change the phase of all the pickups.
You must hear him live. He is a virtuous guitar player. Try his performance live at the Forum, Play that Funky Music. He slays at the Superbowl,
the first time i saw Queen was on saturday dec 1st 1979 at the glasgow apollo, and i paid £4.75 for my ticket, i still have my white satin scarf from the show 👑✊🇬🇧
You beat me by a couple of weeks. Tiffany’s, Purley a small nightclub just south of London. £4.75. Took my then 14 y/o sister to her first gig.
When they play Crazy Thing Called Love check Brian he in the course of the song plays 3 (yes 3) different guitars
The difference then no one had phones so there hands were free no flashing of the camera the best band off all time
When you look at the shots of them on stage, it's doesn't feel like almost 40 years ago!
I was lucky enough to see this as it happened and old enough to realise this was history in the making
Spike Edney can actually be seen sat at the piano during Crazy Little Thing Called Love, but spent most of the show cordoned off out of sight.
Oh yeah thank you!
not anymore - You know they are still touring - Brian and Roger + Adam Lambert and Spike Edney and a bass player and a drummer -- years ago it was Rogers son - a very accompliced drummer - .
@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 We were talking about Queen + Edney at Live Aid. Bollocks to Queen + The Freak. I'm a Queen fan from 1973 until 1997 when John Deacon left.
@@anne-mariesindruprix4792
PS I'm aware of Taylor's son Rufus being a drummer too, with The Darkness. I've been involved in music for decades.
Wembley 1986 when Freddie is singing with the crowd before they perform Under Pressure goes on even longer ending with Freddie saying................. Nah I won't spoil it so you'll just have to watch it lol
Duck you lol😅😅Naughty Freddie ❤❤
Lady Ga Ga's producer, Robert Fusari, told her that she reminded him of the famous Queen song "Radio Ga Ga." From then on, Stefani Germanotta (which is her real name) took on the moniker proudly.
Thank you. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this history making performance. Yes. The band WERE nervous before they hit the stage. This was discussed by Roger and Brian in later interviews. Both commented on Freddie’s call / response. Brian referred to it as an abyss you can call into. Freddie being Freddie, he just waved his hand and magic happened. Roger was worried the response wouldn’t be very loud, you need the “Wembley Roar” to be effective. Obviously the audience belted out their response and the “Wembley Roar” was decidedly evident. After all these years , despite having watched this performance countless times, it still gives me chills and reminds me how damned amazing Queen are.
Wonderful to watch a new generation appreciate the musical genius of this unique band. Thank you again ❤
Really good reaction, guys! I'm the same age as Freddie was when he died, and it feels so weird. He was born in the same year as my father was, and he's been like a father figure to me. Nothing wrong with my father; I love him so much, and he's still alive. I'm from the Music TV generation, and I fell in love with Queen when I was 8 or 9. I still remember the day Freddie died. I was 12 years old then. I love the whole band, and when I was thinking about other great guitarists other than Brian May, David Gilmour was the first to come to my mind. I've been lucky enough to see him live in The Royal Albert Hall. Wish I could have seen Queen live as well.
Went to the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 92,I still have the ticket stub at £70, alot of the tickets were £25, but it was worth every penny. Shout out from Manchester...
No back track all live .I love seeing the young ones hearing Queen !1.5 billion that day watched this.They gave it they’re all.
The band on stage before them was Dire Straits who did "Sultans of Swing" and "Money for Nothing" with Sting.That performance is great and you should check it out. Also check out some of Queen's later songs from when Freddie was sick like "Innuendo", "Scandal", and "Show Must Go On". They sort of just went balls to the wall creatively.
But you're right. Queen was maybe the most educated band ever. Brian May is an astrophysicist, Roger Taylor was in dental school, John Deacon is an electrical engineer, and Freddie was a fashion student.
i watched Live Aid on TV as i was working. I have been a fan since 1973. I have loved them ithat long. So happy you can see why.
You guys had mentioned the camera man participating during Radio Ga Ga. Everyone had their eyes on Queen. Did you happen to notice the security guys in the yellow shirts? They weren’t making sure no one was going to run up to the stage. They were watching Queen’s performance!
1.8 billion people watched Live Aid aroung the world on that day. The cause was brilliant and everyone one so into it.
Fred Mandel, a Canadian, helped on on keyboard from 82 to 84, then Spike Edney from 84 on.
Thank you
Loved it, great reaction from you both, thankyou
Thank you so much!
Worth noting the the crowd didn't know queen was there as they were not announced till just before the show. He does the call and response at every concert. Now I'm here at Wembley Saturday 86 and Liar 1977 singing a song from their first album,each member get a chance to shine both of them will show you how they rock and audience. Just subscribed 😊
Love this performance❤
Spike Edney played keyboards off stage and he’s still with them to this day.
went to this and next week i am off to download again at the age of 63 i keep saying no more but you never know lol
I love that!
I hope you enjoy download 😊
Since you enjoy John Deacon’s bass playing, please check out Dragon Attack live at Montreal.
Thank you
I was lucky enough to grow up in the Greater Cleveland, OH area during the peak of "Album Oriented Rock" radio. Queen always toured here. So, I saw at least one show from every tour from 1974 thru the Hot Space tour. Sometimes I would see 3 shows in 3 different cities over a 7-day period & each was slightly different. No cookie cutter, going through the motions BS. No doubt the most professional, "give it their all" band ever. They loved & respected their fans.
Loved the reaction
Fabulous reaction to the best live performance ever! I have seen this performance too many times to count & it still thrills me every time! More Queen pls, any Queen song is a good song & they were almost always better live! Thx guys, brilliant, love from Oz🇦🇺
Thanks for the reaction guys! Great job! You really need to check out White Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975.
This has been heavily requested! Will get on it asap ☺
This was a charity concert with all the worlds biggest stars performing. Queen were largely thought to be finished at this point. Freddie had a throat infection that day and doctors advised him not to perform but he went out anyway. The audience was not a 'Queen' audience as there were so many people performing that day. Queen STOLE THE WHOLE SHOW!! It is widely regarded to be the finest live performance or all time. And all this without a soundcheck before they went on
.
Thank you for an amazing evening it’s great when we can interact with you Live Aid was Queen’s greatest performance of all time look forward to more x x
