You haven't truly heard this song until you hear in a live concert. Montreal Live 81 is the one I recommend.
@The Stormblooper Hopefully they will listen to that live version in Montreal. One of the coolest things about Queen is how much their songs differ from the studio version and live. Often they sound like totally different songs. This studio version is great but the Montreal version blows you away.
@The Stormblooper me as well. Queen is one of the very few that sound better live then they do in studio.
Was thinking the same thing.
Amen
This comment! Have to check out the live performance.
This song was written by Freddie. It was his favorite song, he has adored Aretha and her singing, more Queen, please💕👑
It has nothing to do with aretha...she didn't create or an orginal for anything,
Also his Mum's favourite, and mine.
With Queen you get Gospel, soul, funk, jazz, blues, heavy metal, folk, ragtime, rock & roll, callipso, opera, ballards and of course your basic rock music. They did it all and their live performances were on another level. There is just so much to learn about Queen and their incredible range of music. Four incredible musicians and song writers with different tastes and ideas that blended into one amazing band.
Perfectly said!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely
The live at Montreal is literally the best version of this song.
Yeees
(Actually, Milton Keynes is better for Freddie's out-of-this-world vocals and for the emotional/energy/fun aspect; Montreal has the BEST HD video quality and is pretty much perfect, technically speaking...
BUT, we ALL AGREE on what's important: LIVE is BETTER!!!)🖖💕
Around my place.
Queen is in their own lane, they can't be pegged in a certain category. They make music for the masses.. They are all so professional in their crafts, and take pride in what they produce. Reaching back to early 70's making classic jams. Love me some Queen!!
somebody to love was Freddie's favorite song ! Montreal Concert is very very good…
Live, they are unmatched. I seen them in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. 18th row. I still have the concert program. A treasure!!!
BJ. Right on. Freddie loved Arethas vocal. He loved blues, rock and….classical and opera. That’s why his music along with the rest of the group is all over the place. Organized..all over.
There's actually only 3 people singing on this track: Mercury, Roger Taylor and Brian May. What they did was stack vocal track on top of vocal track on top of vocal track on top of vocal track make it seem like a choir. That was Freddie's idea. Try Dragon Attack by them next, from the album The Game. If you do the official lyric video, it probably won't get blocked.
Don't ever apologize for loving Somebody to Love. This song
was Freddie's all time favorite. Even over Bo Rap. This song as you said is pure genius.
You should see the Montreal concert 1981
Was just going to say the same thing!
@@aprilebert157 😅😉👍👏👏
Yes definitely live in Montreal AMAZING!!!
@@kristiedaniels9325 Listen to Exercises in free Love from the álbum Messenger from the Gods
By the time I was old enough to go to a queen show Freddie had died. My mom always hated that I never got to see them in concert. But the last time they toured in the United States I was like 7 and my mom didn’t think I was old enough to go yet to such a big show. But it makes me so sad. But I love that they recorded so many live performances that I get see
I’m from the uk, I was 6 when Freddie died and that’s when my dad made me watch his music videos. I’m still in live today. Wish I’d of seen him live , wish he was still here today. The greatest singer/performer I’ve ever known
For almost every Queen song you want to do a live version. The band was always on fire live and Freddie always mesmerizing. Considered one of the best, if not the best, rock vocalist but also the best front man of music. Thanks for reacting to Queen. The Montreal 1981 is most people's favorite of this song. After that, Try White Queen live Hammersmith or Dragon attack 1981 montreal.
And now it's time to give your ears a real treat and listen to the live versions from Montreal '81 and Milton Keynes '82, the same song but each version completely different yet equally superb.
Has a huge fan l have been all my life l have seen Freddie live u should listen to the live version 1981 in Montreal Canada.
You go, BJ --- Tell the truth.
@ 3.48 BJ say "Ya...'cause you have to actually be an artist."
LOVE IT.
God bless you both.
Yeah, if you want to try reacting to Queen live, go with this song, in Montreal 1981
They take it up a couple of levels.
This is what QUIEEN LOOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IN THE 70s ,,
They have so much versatility in their music and probably because all four Freddie, Brian, Roger and John wrote
Yep, you gotta see it live in Montreal
I love this Queen song..I know alot of people love the “live/concert version”.. but I do like the studio version better.. Bcaus U can hear all of the bands harmonies alot better..than in the live show
Aroha and respect to QUEEN from NZ. I like the studio version also for the same reasons. 👏👏👏👏
@@keepitreal6881 Again, I do like the live show version..But it just sounds so much different..Its more amped & vibrant..Its of course, different from just singing it in the studio (& I could swear I hear at least 2 more voices in studio version..a small additional choir or somthng..in the last big chorus part
..”Find me sombody to love”🎶”..& both singng & playn their instruments
🎸🥁 durng a concert..Freddie isnt dancng all over the studio like he does at the concert..The ovrall sound of the song just sounds better to me, in the studio version
When watching the backup singers during this recording, bear in mind that both Roger and Brian sing these backups live while playing Drums and lead guitar which with Queen, never pulls back because of the vocals. Great song, Thank you for reacting. I agree with the other comment that live at Montreal 1981 is a mind blowing performance also. You really have to listen to this one and that one to see how dynamic this group really is. Don't feel guilty Asia, Freddie thought this was a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody and he wrote both so you are in good company. And Queen: Good Company is a fun song too, that one written and performed by Brian.
Freddie Mercury wrote most of their songs he was a genius R.I.P. Freddie you are missed never be another
@@reneemenosky873 Freddie did not write “most” of their songs . Brian was almost equally productive as a songwriter. (Freddie and Brian were the main songwriters, especially on the first 3 albums)
John wrote the fewest, but his “batting average” of well-received songs is excellent. Roger’s best ones didn’t come easily early on, but he hit a good stride in the 80’s and on into the last albums.
montreal 1981 now! hands down best live performance Ive ever seen.
Excellent, listen to them when I was a young man,and I fell in love with this group, nice pick. So much talent, wow!!!!!!!.
1981 Montreal, live, and boy do I mean live version. Go on, treat yourselves to the live version.
I agree...you need to watch them performing this song live in Montreal. The whole concert was good! Man..wish I had been there! This was Freddie's favorite song according to the band.
I was fortunate to see them 3 times twice on there 1st American tour 1973 opened with Keep Yourself Alive followed by Liar, they were the opening act and just blew the crowd including me away
Freddie was a huge aretha franklin fan and considered her to be the best vocalist and you have to check out their live versions of this song from montreal 1981 and the bowl 1982 freddie sings them differently and they kinda sound like different song
Freddie "Four Octaves" Mercury was classically trained (as a youngster...) in music - hence, the mix of all different kinds of musical styles, all beautifully rolled into one!
When QUEEN performed at London's Wembley Stadium during "LIVE AID '85" (a concert to benefit Africa, which at the time had experienced severe drought that consequently led to horrific everyday conditions for the people living on this continent...) - Freddie had all of us (70.000+...) eating out of his hand... and for ~20 minutes, the UK was ruled by a different QUEEN.
I highly recommend you guys watch/react to that YT clip - you won't be disappointed!
Timeless and inspiring music -- that was the GENRE of QUEEN!! Can never get enough of Queen's harmonies -- absolute musical geniuses!! Please listen to "In the Lap of The Gods" studio version (NOT the Revisited version, totally different song)... and see why Freddie called Roger his 'dog whistle'... Thanks for another great reaction!!
Queen's harmonies were ALWAYS fire! That was one of their trademarks - that and Brian's overdubbed guitars....along with, of course, Freddie's lead vocals....were big parts of what gave them their distinctive sound.
Thanks so much for this! this is the recording that Freddie intended - (I know, everybody says live from Montreal is better - and it totally IS the best... but the "official video" is the best way to start... ) thank you! P.S. Freddie said this was his favorite! (video is awesome, incorporates live stuff, but the sound is all "studio")
You can choose every day another favorite. LOL
Pls, check out the live version at Montreal 81. and you will blown your mind.
Somebody is to Love is my favorite Queen song. They had a lot great songs at that.
Freddie Mercury was simply the best showman I have ever seen and I was privileged to be young at their height xx he was exceptional a trained opera singer but found the genre of music he loved the best he was an exceptional song writer along with Sir Brian May lead guitarist who is also a Professor of Astrophysics xx they were exceptional even for the times with the likes of Sir Elton John George Michael and so many others it was for me the greatest time for music and the memories are immense xx I assume you have watched Queen at Live Aid 1985 the 20 minutes they were on stage is the greatest performance ever Sir Elton said "How the f.uck do I follow that " I think that sums up the consummate artists Queen were just amazing xx
I’m liking this daily Queen content. Keep it up.
As many have suggested the live Montreal version is brilliant.
I’ve got to say I’m a huge fan of this version at Milton Keynes in ‘82
Freddy Mercury was such a once in a lifetime vocal artist, that they did studies on how he was able to have the range that he had and was able to do some of the things that he did.
Freddie's voice is just one of those voices that comes once in a while. He also designed his own costumes. Check out, "Time Waits For No One". I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "Barcelona" with Freddie Mercury ft. Montserrat Caballe. They wrote their own songs but mostly Freddie did the writing. There was a video on TH-cam asking which version of this same song you thought was the best. Freddie Mercury or George Michaels.
This was my favorite Queen song until I heard and saw the live one in Montreal 1981. They are the best live band in the world!!!!!!
Hands down the greatest band of my pre and teen years. Talent was unreal from them all.
To truly appreciate Queen, you must listen to them live. Brilliant!!
To truly appreciate Queen, you have to have SEEN them live! Watching Freddie play the crowd is an entirely different experience from being in the audience he is playing.
I grew up listening to queen. they were just there throughout my childhood. because of that i never really appreciated how special they were, it was just normal for music to be that good. it was only in my twenties that i realised they werent normal they were exceptional. i loved your reactions and your apaparently genuine appreciation of them. thanks for this.
You haven't really heard this song until you hear the '81 Montreal Live HD version.
Okay I think it’s time to watch their 1985 live aid performance
Yes Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal and must but also Freddie was a genius at improvising. He never sang a song the same way twice. Queen - Somebody To Love (Live at Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982) Live Hyde Park 1976 You take My Breath away will give you chills.
My favorite band. I love Queen very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
back in the 70's, first album i ever owned, first concert i ever seen. Still get chills from these songs!
you have yet to see Queen at their best, ie live. Freddie is well known as one of, if not the best frontman on stage. has the voice, charisma, basically has the crowd in the palm of his hand .
Greatest back up vocals ever written ! Notice how they switch back and forth.
Their harmonies we're just untouchable...One of those rare bands that didn't follow anyone else...everyone else followed them and sampled their music. You almost can't hear a song today that doesn't have something taken from a song created by this legendary band.
the live version of this song 1981 in montreal is one of the greatest performances of all time.
The most awesome live performance of his in my opinion other than Live Aid is his live performance of this in Montreal 1981. It was amazing!
I just watched this--you really have to react to the live Montreal version of this--such different energy and soooooo good!
You are going to love this song even more if you watch the live version in Montreal :) Sorry, I write my comments as I watch; hence the three comments.
SOME BODY TO LOVE , BHOMIAN RHAPSODY,, FAT BOTTOM GIRLS ,, WE WILL ROCK YOU,, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS ,,, Just some of 1970s QUEEN
One of the greatest bands ever !!
Love ur love !!
Queen is one of the greatest groups ever! Miss Freddie Mercury so much. No one could ever replace him, but you really need to react to the live version with George Michael singing lead on this with Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. AMAZING!!!!
I love all of Queen! I know Bohemian Rhapsody is one of their most popular, but I am with you Asia! Somebody to Love is my favorite song by them. I sing it at karaoke frequently. 😁
it's cool Asia -- it's my favorite Queen tune too ... and it was Freddie's favorite too, so we know what time it is. Seen them live several times. Peace.
I can't listen to this song without being Mesmerized all over again just as I was as a young kid in 1977. I am a musician, that was inspired by Queen years ago , and I have heard many great bands, singers, and vocal groups through the years, but I can say without a doubt , I can't think of one other band, or one other vocalist , with the talent, style , charisma, and epic ability as Queen. I think I backed the right horse when , as a 12 year old kid all my Friends were beating their heads to Kiss, and AC-DC, and I was sitting with my headphones on and drinking in the endless genius , and nuance of Queen,s music.
This is my favorite vocal of Freddie’s. It’s a plaintive cry for love, but somehow there’s a real joy to it. Probably the gospel influence. I love the double claps, the piano percussion near the end, and him just wandering all over the harmony chorus at the end. Usually Roger Taylor handles all the highest vocals because he had the highest top end, but this one is Freddy and it’s such a beautiful croon even in falsetto. And the pitch management!
Montreal live 1981 best live perfomance of a song ever¡¡¡¡
Back in the day WAS 1976 Released
I saw Queen in 1981 in Vancouver. Great show.
Watch Queen's performance at Live Aid. You will be absolutely floored! I freaking love Freddie Mercury! Queen is one of a kind!
Awesome expect no less from Queen. But people you ain't lived until you've done this live. Either Montreal 1981, Or Milton Keynes Bowl 1982.
Montreal 1981
Milton Keynes please
@@karenj3611 I guess they'll have to do both now. Lol I mean it would show just how extremely versatile Queen performances are even with the same song. :D
@@markbanner6473 I totally agree, I prefer Milton Keynes bowl. Love everything about it.
Great job you two!! You do need to listen to this song live in Montreal 1981 and Love of My Life from Wembley 1986! Keep up the great work with your reactions!!
From Dimash to Queen to Phil Collins....shorty y'all are becoming my favs. Keep up the good work. If I find that you have done some Bee Gee reaction that will put it over the top . Great reactions on every level
Montreal 1981 live. A Must watch for this song.
"Somebody To Love" live in Montreal 1981. Freddie's vocals are electrifying there. That's a live performance that will take your head off! :)))
Dr. Brian May PhD, astrophysicist, on guitar!
White Queen live Hammersmith 1975, definetly react to this one please😅
I know what you mean, Asia. I am soprano alto. If I’m near someone singing either, I switch to it, without trying. It’s very challenging, but when I was young, they were always putting us together.
62 now, and I grew up on just about everything. Happy I lived the life I have, in experiencing all the beautiful genres of music, of the past and present, in real time. It brings me joy to share the reactions of young people today, to my music of yesterday.
This was his homage to the great Aretha Franklin...he just absolutely adored her and her singing. This was his favourite song that he ever written. *Note* He had an Aretha song played at his funeral.
Do you know which one?
@@joyceharkin3641 'Precious Lord, Take My Hand'
@@wordsleydave Thank you! I should have guessed!
@@joyceharkin3641 ❤
Love This Band, And Love your Review. Keep The Music Coming😊👍
You must have react to this song in Montreal 81
Live at Montreal, SOMEBODY TO LOVE is a great performance....check out DON'T STOP ME NOW and I WANT IT ALL
My all time favorite band there!
Brilliant voice. Brilliant group. his songs will never die. RIP freddie. ❤️
I'm glad that you watched this version first. I think you will really appreciate the live version.
Let this one simmer for a minute and then check out the Montreal concert of this song when you get a chance.
It's good but you have and I mean HAVE to check out the live at Montreal version..
Most Queen tracks were designed to be performed live and that's where Queen take everything to a level that very few can , will or have obtained .. 👌
New subscriber here 🙂
Queen was an International Phenomenon they played in Japan, Argentina during the Junta, South Africa during Apartheid, Brazil and of course the USA,. They were best in a stadium and Stole the show at Wimbledon with their 20 minute Live Aid for Africa set. It was their come back after Freddie Mercury left the band.
Freddie never left the band and it wasn't a comeback. They had just completed a major tour (The Works) a month before Live Aid. (I really hate that stupid movie.)
Have you guys done we will rock you/we are the champions? Probably Queens most iconic songs. You’re my best friend is also one of the all-time great’s, but then again, there’s lots of them.
It's Queen everything they do is amazing and different. Keep going
I’m glad you watched the studio version first so that when you watch the live version you’ll understand how brilliant they were live.
You should watch the version George Michaels does of this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992.... it was a flawless performance!!!! He did Freddie proud I'm sure!!!! And if you can, you should also watch their Live Aid performance!!! It's nothing but pure and utter talent!!!
You really, really need to hear the live in Montreal performance. One of the best ever ...
Somebody to Love from Montreal 1981... truly AMAZING! Hope you listen to it you will not be disappointed!! Freddy killed it, Drummer nailed his vocals and playing the drums!!
George Michael did this song in the concert honoring Freddie Mercury. George is one of the few singers that Queen would let sing with the band.
Bravo for watching the official version first. That way you get to hear it the way the band intended it to be heard.
Freddie’s personal homage to Aretha!!! One of the greatest concerts I ever saw!!!! 🙏🏻❤️🎶
I echo every one else. You have not heard Queen Somebody to Love live 1981 Montreal. Will blow you away‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
They were all musical geniuses but Freddie….Freddie was one of a kind.
They did a lot of multi-layered songs but they had some great straight-out rockers too. Stone Cold Crazy, Keep Yourself Alive, Tie Your Mother Down, Hammer to Fall
Anything from this concert is a banger! Under Pressure, Another one Bites the Dust, Kind of Magic or for something to really give you the feels, Who wants to Live Forever. This is my go to concert for whenever I need a pick me up!! 💕💪🔥
Just a little heads up. (My opinion) Queen were absolutely the masters of almost every genre. Rock, metal, country, opera, Broadway, you name it & Queen could do it & more than likely have. And fun fact, Brian May, the guitarist, is actually an astrophysicist.
If you liked this, then you have to check out their Live Aid performance. It is considered the GREATEST 28 minutes in the history of Rock.
Fun Fact. The lead guitarist, Brian May, is also a PHD Astrophysicist.
You beat me to it. I also mentioned that fun fact before I saw this. 🤜🤛
@@ryansalmons5279 you could have mentioned that Brian wrote all the guitar solos in Freddie's song
@@RoverWaters very true
Actually, it's 20 minutes and 10 seconds if the 20 minutes they were allotted! Mind blowing performance control!
Definitely the greatest front man of all time and one of the greatest vocalists ever, probably the best band ever, great reaction 👌👍
All-time Classic. Excellent breakdown,too!
Not only were Queen great musical geniuses they also were very smart. Lead singer Freddie Mercury had an art degree, the drummer was studying dentistry and Brian May the guitarist has a degree in Astrobiology. Never heard Queens music? Sure you have We will rock you/we are the champions.
You guys need to know the story of Queen's lead singer, Freddie Mercury. He recorded a lot of his music while dying of AIDS. He's the first rocker that I can recall, that had AIDS. They have a movie about him, called Bihemian Rhapsody.
watch the Live Montreal version of this song. It will blow you away.
Yes it's time to react to Queen live : the best !
Watch their Live Aid performances ce July 1985. You gotta watch the whole thing...20+ minutes but you will LOVE IT!
