    My cousin saw Queen in 82 and sat 2 rows from the front. At the end of the concert Freedie brought out a bouquet of roses, pulled out one at a time, kissed the rose then tossed it into the audience. She caught one, preserved it and still has it today.

    Thank you for recognizing Roger and John. When you have a talent and personality as larger than Life as Freddie's, it takes some effort to really appreciate the still amazing talents of the rest of the band. Sir Brian, of course, receives plenty of deserved attention, but I've always felt Roger and John don't get near enough respect. They are a super group, through and through.

    I'm a metalhead normally, but there is simply no denying that Queen is the greatest band of all time, and Freddie is the greatest singer/frontman. There is not even a slight competition in the frontman part. There are loads of fantastic bands, but Queen is just the complete package of perfection, and unbeatable live.

      Freddie Mercury was born to be the ultimate rockstar. A combination of talent, training and sheer musical genious that cannot be replicated.
      Also, the fact that the rest of the band, Roger, Brian and John are also legendary tier with their instruments AND singing is amazing. These exceptional people happened to find each other and combine their talent to give mankind a gift.
      In 100 years and beyond people will still listen to Queen.

With your powers of observation you're able to bring up and focus on small details and nuances most people would simply overlook. Your wit, musical sensibility, humour and enthusiasm make for a treat of a package. And no matter how much you may geek over some aspect of a performance, you never do so in a superficial, annoying or boring way. You're a joy to watch and listen. Keep up the amazing work!

    A note to watch when you review this... the second time Freddie moves to the audience and Roger is playing the drums hard, watch as Freddie sees Brian walking to the back to tend to his guitar. It is so seamless, most miss it. Freddie works the audience until he looks back again to see Brian coming back to the front of the stage and then moves forward with the song. All, without any fuss, do their parts. John rocks the bass during that time and Roger keeps them going and shifts when Brian steps back up to the mic. It is this peek into their professionalism that moves me to tears. Regarding Roger Taylor doing solo projects, he did! His latest Live album is gorgeous: _The Outsider Tour Live_ - do check it out! And yes, I saw Queen live in 1978... the Jazz Tour. It was incredible. I am sure the stadium (that doesn't exist anymore) is still resonating with a _stomp stomp clap_ that started 30 minutes before the show even began.

    Saw Queen and Adam Lambert last year in Belfast, and as Roger Taylor is a hero of mine, his voice hasn't changed. Yes, ok, he's slowed down a bit in his drumming technique, but his vocals on Now I'm Here and In Love it my Car are still magnificent. Was are in the seating directly in line with him, no more than 50 meters away. I finally crossed something off my bucket list.

      Well, Brian May and Roger Taylor have both been the lead singer in their own bands and had solo careers as well - both have had top 10 albums (in the UK) and May had a couple of top 10 singles back in the 90s. John Deacon, OTOH, as fantastic as he was on the bass and as a song writer, apparently couldn't sing at all.

    • @Geordielass1978
      @Geordielass1978 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      John's songs were among the most popular in the USA, apparently. From something I read a few years back Queen usually didn't do the verse, chorus, verse, chorus structure that was seen as essential in the US in the 70s and 80s, so they were dismissed as unfeasible, commercially speaking, by American record producers (I mean God forbid they try anything different!) John's songs conformed more to the recognised, commercially viable, structure that the American music industry was used to, so his songs tended to do well in that market, "Another One Bites the Dust" being the prime example.

    11-12-1977 Houton Texas - Yes, that album and by far the best concert I have ever attended. I recently found it here on youtube and have been able to relive that slice of heaven again.

    How good he is at feeding the audience really shows when you watch the Live Aid performance. It was a hot day with a lot of performers, and Queen was on the downslide as a "has-been" group at the time, but as soon as they took the stage he took control and within minutes they were quite literally eating from the palm of his hand. Created the most memorable performance of the entire concert, and made everyone remember just how good Queen was.

    Really enjoyed your take and insight on these musicians and this particular performance.
    Have to recommend "Save Me" from the same concert. I think you'll love it!
    Saw them 3 times live Including their first and last US headlining tours with Freddie.
    Three fantastic memories!!

    I cried watching this the first time as well. It's so emotionally overwhelming. I am also obsessed with Roger's voice. He did solo projects since 1977 and had his own band called The Cross as well. His voice was an integral part of the Queen sound, as was each of the band member's talents. Under Pressure Live at Montreal or Wembley showcase the duet of Freddie and Roger's voices. Any of the early Queen songs like My Fairy King,Seven Seas of Rhye, Lap of the Gods, '39, Bohemian Rhapsody, More of that Jazz, etc. Roger made them sound like no other band. I saw Queen in 1977 on the Day at the Races tour. I have seen most big rock bands and it was my favourite concert.. Queen loves their fans and you feel that watching them. Freddie threw flowers to the audience during the encore and told us how much fun they were having. Freddie was incredibly charismatic. When he was on stage you couldn't take your eyes off him. One of my favourite songs was '39 because they all came to the front of the stage and Roger sang those ethereal high notes. They truly worked as one. The early concerts like Rainbow 1974 and Hammersmith Odeon 1975 are incredible fun to watch if you haven't seen them. Any Queen live is pretty special. Loved your reaction!

    I was fortunate to see Queen in concert during this tour at the Baltimore Civic Center in August of 1980. I was 18 years old at the time, and I still vividly remember the show. Freddie owned the crowd from the moment he stepped on the stage. It was definitely "one of those shows".

  • @ronswinford4952

    While Live Aid was their best set ever, I think this is their best performance of just one song. When you talked about connecting with the audience that was Freddy's best talent, he was a showman. Roger is great in this, Brian is always great, John is steady and gives them the bass lines they need, but the starting point is always Freddy and his talent and presence. Great reaction, everyone should hear this version of the song at least once in their life, this is about a perfect as you can get.

      I was at Live Aid and don't think that in musical terms it was their best. However, what Freddie & Co did was to somehow turn a huge general audience into THEIR audience in twenty minutes with a direct and totally charismatic performance. Their professionalism is unsurpassed.

    So glad to see you talk about Roger Taylor's voice! Queen was a collection of top-tier musicians who all were willing to create the greatest music as a team, and didn't let individual egos block them from achieving greatness. Freddie was an amazing talent, but Roger's voice adds so very much to the mix. And yes, everyone in the band did what was needed to make these magical moments both in the studio and on stage. How I wish I had seen them live. Love your reaction, and you are looking more amazing every time I see you. Thanks for your reactions which have taught me so much I didn't know about vocal technique. 🥰

    Hello Lolli. Brand new subscriber here. You are an exciting blend of educational and entertaining. You’re also one of a very few vocal coaches who actually demonstrates what they’re talking about, which is tremendously appreciated. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you’re just lovely. Thanks for this and excuse me whilst I take a trip back through your catalogue. I may be a while.

    You broke this down so well. This performance was magic in the making. Freddie truly was a wizard on stage and he left everyone spellbound.
    Freddie and Brian always get so much of the limelight so it’s nice to hear Roger and John get their talents acknowledged.
    The oracle cards are a great touch. Keep up the awesome work ✌🏼❤️🎵🎶((🌍))

    Freddie was having throat problems and his doctor told him not to sing or risk damaging his vocal cords. Being Freddie Mercury he went out and gave one of his best most powerful performances ever. There will never be another like him. The closest i have ever heard to Freddie is Marc Martel. Roger Taylor said the first time he heard Marc sing he cried because Marc sounded so like Freddie. Cheers

    I saw Queen in 1976 at Cardiff Castle, it poured down all day but they were magnificent, I was 13 and went on my own. I also saw them in Milton Keynes bowl in 1982, a much bigger venue but still magnificent. I've seen them post Freddie with Adam Lambert and they were very good but it wasn't the same.

  • @SnarleySteve

    I'm two weeks late to comment, but I have to say this: this is the best reaction/analysis I've ever seen. You're reaction was so beautiful to see because your face really said out loud what so many of us feel watching Queen. This is the first video I've watched as a reaction that I wasn't yelling to just let the song/video play. Also, I enjoyed this video so much I've watched it a good half-dozen times.
    Queen and Freddie are beyond incredible. Seeing your analysis and breakdown of this performance was informative and let me really see the intricacies of each members performance and how they made everything they did just wonderful.
