No, it's not weird. People have been obsessing over Freddie and his INSANE talent for decades. I love watching you react to them! In my opinion, Queen was and is one of the greatest bands who existed. And I am 39, so I was very young when Freddie died. Queen was special, but Freddie was a legend.
Absolutely right Amanda 👍
Ditto
My daughter has just discovered freddie ...needless to say she is obsessed lol
You have to see the whole set. Still considered the greatest live performance of all time. You won't be disappointed. Freddie was told not to perform due to throat problems. He was still unbelievable. When his voice gets a little shaky, pay attention to Roger stepping up in the background so Freddie's voice could take a step back a few times. That's why they were so great. They were in tune to each other.
Great Post Sharon 👍
Absolutely!! The set as one continuous performance is unbelievable 💜
@@leslies3890 absolutely agree
Yes, I've heard a few times that this was his worst vocal performance and it was still that good! Amazing!
love how freddie was told not to preform by doctors and still put on hell of a show
Keep in mind, Freddie was performing against his doctor's orders. He had a throat infection but that didn't stop him from giving one of the best (if not the BEST) live performances ever.
BTW - Queen's lineup for LIVE AID was
1. Bohemian Rhapsody (only the Ballad and guitar solo)
2. Radio GaGa (they performed faster than the studio version)
3. Freddie's call and response
4. Hammer To Fall
5. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
6. We Wil Rock You (Just the 1st verse)
7. We Are The Champions.
That's a lot for just 20 minutes.
I love your smile chuckle and laughter lites up my day..
You were missed...This Queen concert at live aid is considered the greatest live performance in Rock music history. Please continue with Queen...so many great songs to discover...
Queen's intention was to give the audience something different from what they got on the record. It always made the concerts special.
I just watched you listen to Queen for the first time and could see how blown away you were. I love your smile as you watch the amazing Freddy Mercury!
Totally agree 👍
His song is like his motto The Show Must Go On. He stole the show at live aid. You couldn't even tell that he had bad throat that night. Love you Freddy, you may be gone but your music lives on.
Always will Jane 😀👍
Freddie was the brightest star in the universe and then went supernova for eternity
This was a shortened version as they had only 22 minutes to perform at Live Aid..Watch all of the performance. Amazing.
Yes, watch it all!!
Music was that man’s natural playground. RIP Freddie.
The way Queen hit the stage, Freddie in particular, let the audience know they were in for a great time. I love the way the audience is immediately singing along. The band sounds awesome.
I'm so glad you're back. I've missed your reactions and your smile and your laugh. Love this whole concert, it's awesome. Queen is always so good live. And what can you say about Freddie. He was and always will be the absolute best. Hopefully at some point you'll be able to react to the whole concert. Thank you. 💜💜💜💙💙🌞🌞😊😊🌹🌹🌹
The most iconic 21 minutes in music history! You need to see the full Live Aid performance of Queen! They ruled the world for 21 minutes straight!
If you want a live version of the full song.. Watch the Montreal performance.. You will not be disappointed.
AGREED
He was already quite sick here too. The greatest performer of all time. A legend.
No, actually - he had laryngitis here I believe, (or was recovering), but he wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until two years later in 1987. He may have suspected his HIV status, however. He didn't begin noticing symptoms until during the Magic tour in 1986. The movie added a bit of dramatic fiction.
It really is so great having you back. I really love your bubbling enthusiasm and your cute looks don't hurt either. I have missed your comments especially about Freddie Mercury and Queen. They are without a doubt the greatest band out of the rock and roll era. This performance was the undisputed greatest of all time. Live was 70,000 fans at Wembley stadium where Queen performed, 90,000 connected remotely in Philadelphia, and an estimated TV audience of 1 billion. The effect of the performance turned around a fund driving effort that had seen many well known bands do somewhat lackluster performances and thus a pittance was raised until a Queen performed. You really need to see the entire thing in one sitting to understand why people call this the greatest single performance of all time. Once again glad to see you back.
Queen was always at their best live! Freddie always enunciated clearly - for anyone deaf, they could lipread him! And the guitar was made by Brian May's Dad and himself in a shed - the neck is made from a mahogany mantel shelf and the body from part of an oak dining table - it is The Red Special and is priceless and unique and still played regularly! 💖
The most beautiful voice ever... Miss him so much.
Watching you watching Freddie is an Absolute Joy.
I wish you would come back and do more Queen .
You are very missed. ❤
I smile when I see you upload new reactions. I love your enthusiasm and how closely you listen to the music and manage to pull out little nuggets. It's almost like you give me fresh ears to listen to something I've heard a million times.
You do realize that the crowd at The actual concert was massive, but there were also massive crowds in the US and televised world wide at the same time. Everyone was transfixed and transformed at the same time.
UR BACK!!! so happy to see that :D and can't go wrong with queen live tbh, no two performances they did were alike because they improvised so much and freddie actually famously said that people who wanted to hear their music as it is on the album should just play the record instead of coming to a concert because the band didn't WANT to sound the same live as they do on the recording. i know everyone is going to say watch all of live aid (and you should, it's a masterclass on live performances) but rock montreal is my favorite so i'm gonna go ahead and recommend the killer queen/i'm in love with my car medley, we will rock you (fast version), another one bites the dust, and under pressure from that concert. also in the lap of the gods from the rainbow.
6:58 the realization that you have about Freddie’s mouth (not just the lip). I was actually thinking that while watching it too! I am so glad you caught that! You’re absolutely right! Singers usually try to adjust the vowel placement to make it sound better. And Freddie (MotherEffing) Mercury knew how to do it best! Every movement of his mouth, every placement of his vowel, every movement of the body, even the way he breathed was so intentional! Idk if you are a singer or have ever taken vocal lessons before, but what you caught right there was quite extraordinary. It goes unnoticed by mostly everyone. Great job! Great reaction! 💯
It’s so great to see someone falling in love with this band the way I did!
I admit that I CANNOT watch Freddie for more than 30 seconds without dropping tears. The world lost a lot of light when he left this earth.
Your reactions are a joy to watch.
The way he commands these fans is amazing.
The whole performance, just under 20mins, is epic and has to be experienced as a whole, Queen don't block so you don't need to chop the songs into single song parts.
I can absolutely guarentee that you are not the only person to be in love with this performance, every time i hear this it makes my hair stand on end! Still as good today as it was when I saw it live on the TV back in the day, with my ex. Thank you for your reaction, it makes my day seeing your enjoyment!
As a child Freddie lived in a boys boarding school in India/ his diction is perfect- I love watching you with Freddie! And the guitarist Brian May still performing in concerts- and also the drummer Roger Taylor is with him as Queen. These men pretty much grew up together as young men. When they were beginning Queen the bass guitarist John Deacon was a mere 19 years old. All members are graduates of University in England. Brian continued his education and is now Dr. Brian May - Astrophysicist- sometimes conferring with NASA.
So happy you’re watching Queen again! I love watching your reactions and it sounds silly but your love of music just makes me smile! Have an awesome week!
I’m loving watching you enjoy Queen! They are a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth! He's undoubtedly the most talented frontmen of all time! Everyone loved him and his music will last through time! Much love and respect from England x
you're absolutely right about his vocal control and mouth movements- check out some of the videos of vocal coaches and opera singers analyzing his performances. So fascinating!
Makes me so happy for you youngsters to appreciate Freddie. He was the best. Watch the entire concert ( 22 minutes)
I enjoy and appreciate how you notice all the details....Freddie's mouth movement! Yes! I noticed it too! There will never be another like Freddie!
I just discovered your channel and you are AMAZING! You are analyzing both the musical techniques and the emotions, but best of all, I can see you process it all. It brings me back to the first time I heard these songs, and it reminds me how exciting they are. I can feel the emotions flickering across your face, and I'm right there with you. I think "yeah, that part is amazing" and then you back it up to hear it again and I know we're hearing the same thing.
I was a music obsessed teen when Live Aid happened, and this brings back all the joy I felt the first time I heard the performances. Please keep it up!
You NEED to listen to their full set. I think it was really nice of Queen to let so many other bands play at their concert.
In case you didn’t know…
Live Aid was a charity concert in 1985 to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia with several famous acts who volunteered to participate and didn’t get paid. Each act had a 20 minute set. A lot of the other performers played their current songs to promote their albums and didn’t take advantage of the time.
Queen took it seriously and spent a week or so putting their playlist together and they had giant clocks in front of them so they could practice and pack as much in as they could in 20 minutes. It also helped that the sound guy worked for Queen and tweaked it so that Queen was louder than everyone else.
By the middle of the set, the other acts backstage started to watch them on the monitors and realized that Queen was stealing the show and basically kicked everyone’s ass and they knew it!!
Many people say it’s the best live performance. Also, because the stage was pretty basic due to all the different artists, critics didn’t think Queen would pull it off because their shows are typically a huge production with lighting etc. and again Queen shut down the critics proving that they can put on a great show with just the four of them.
Legendary. Energy. Iconic.
I love your commentary so much. This performance was the GOAT. How can you possibly stop your commentary half stream? Queen at Live Aid Is legend
I always love your reactions to Queen.....lol
Thank You! Theyre always alot of fun :)
I am SO glad you are back! Your happiness watching Queen makes me happy. They are amazingly talented! Freddie went to boarding school in India so you better believe he enunciates beautifully. I know you've decided to split Live Aid up. Please consider watching it as it's intended...all at once. It's how they constructed (only playing parts of some songs, like Bo Rhap) and performed the most perfect 20 minutes history. Honestly, it's the only way to truly appreciate the glory that is Live Aid. Splitting it up takes away from it. 😊 Welcome back.
Please watch the entire set! Your excitement mirrors mine. These four artists are legend. There is no greater 20 minutes in live performance history. Period.
Yes...we do see his lips...love your reaction again. Just to let you know...i keep watching your very 1st reaction on BoRhap...still love and enjoy it.
(Yeah, I'm gonna paste this comment all over cuz as a fellow TH-camr I know how easy it is to miss a comment, and I want you to see this lol) Absolutely adore your reactions and comments, there is depth and a true appreciation for what is happening, not just surprised facial expressions and canned exclamations... your attention to detail and your willingness to go back to emphasize the minutest auditory gem makes me want to watch you above and beyond the multitudes of other reactionaries. Thank you, and "Carry on, carry on..." =)
Freddie Mercury was the best showman that ever lived ❤
He's creating a tone - and a color to that note when he holds his mouth open a certain way. When he covers his teeth with his lip it darkens that sound. When he pulls his lips back and bares his teeth it makes a brighter sound. You're NOT crazy. It's very perceptive that you caught that and sense that it has something to do with his sound. This is artistry of the highest order. All of the tones, bright sounds, rasp, etc, he makes are like colors a painter uses. When you see him gracefully arch his back through a long sustained note - he's using his entire body in a natural way to make that sound. He's not forcing it - he's just so consistent and in control of his basic singing voice that he can then play further, using his physicality to further express himself vocally. This is why you hear such a consistent, beautiful sound with him. He never studied, so it's something he instinctively knew (perhaps over time) how to do. Look at the beautiful posture he has when he glides over that stage like a dancer; he always has a relaxed and supported sound. He is an absolute marvel. What a gift to the world he was.
I felt compelled to watch your video again. Just wow. The musical talent is extraordinarily good. Your review is awesome.
Good to see you again and glad your reacting to one of the greatest performance’s ever made queen are the greatest and most amazing groups that ever existed look forward to the next one take care x x
It's so great to see someone's first reaction to Freddy and Queen. My grandfather hated rock and roll but he loved Bohemian Rhapsody I played it for him so many times I had to go buy another record
I am an avid opera fan. A lover of listening to Beethoven, Mozart etc. Now at 84 years of age I include the group 'Queen'.
@@iriscollins7583 check out Freddie Mercury's duet with Montserrat Callabero. Such talent truly amazing.
welcome back!! have missed your reactions
I love your reaction videos for Queen 😁. Freddie Mercury is the best pure vocalist and performer of all time! You should watch all of Live Aid and more Queen songs. Freddie was actually sick here with throat issues for this performance but he killed it like the boss entertainer he was!
Yes 🙌🏻 This is 🔥 Please more Queen!!
you must watch the whole thing at one sitting its so GOOD!!!, I love watching you react to Queen!!!!
I'm happy seeing your sunny smile reacting to Queen again. You have to check out the whole Live Aid set.
I love that you love these guys and your so right when you said in a previous video that Queen was way ahead of their time. Thes guys are timeless. I enjoy your videos you have a beautiful spirit. 😍
He is and was the greatest, love him !!!!
Thank you l Iove Queen also please do more!
suppose its safe to say if you had been around when he was, you would have gone to every concert they did.
Absolutely love how much you are loving them.
So glad you are back! We missed you! You are my fav, fer sure. I love how much you love Queen.
You got to watch Queen live singing, love of my life, beautiful.
No don't apologize Freddie had and still has that affect on people! He was such an amazing performer and his voice is like no other I've ever heard to this day! It literally would bring chills to me listening to him and I still get that! He was truly one of a kind! The most beautiful vocals I've ever heard!!!❤️
Yes u have to see the whole set. Freddie and Queen AT THEIR BEST. Can't wait to see yur reaction
This woman is 62...but I remember the first time I heard Queen. I was 15. They were huge in my life. And it was delightful to watch you react.
Great reaction, bro. You’re always so authentic; can tell you’re genuinely into Queen, and music in general. Keep up the work, my guy.
Your reaction videos to queen give me a new appreciation for them. Thank you 💜
Welcome back!! It's been fun to join you in your experience of Queen. Great reaction!
You need to watch it all in one go for the entire set
Glad you are back ! You are my ideal reactor because Queen and Pentatonix are my two favorite TH-cam groups and you always have something interesting to say.
Their performance at Live Aid was phenomenal! I was at their last ever concert with Freddie at Knebworth in 1986. Little did anyone know it would be their last together😞 That too was an unforgettable day.
You should react to “You Take My Breath Away” at Hyde Park in 1976. Their earlier work, but this performance is stunning. It will take your breath away.
I can only second watching the whole set. And read up on the background also, or watch videos/documentaries on it. The whole Live Aid was more or less failing up until Queen went on, it was a quite underwhelming experience for both live- and the TV audience. And then Queen went on, without anyone (especially Bob Geldof, who arranged the whole event) expecting much. And then they just went on and knocked it out of the park.
Freddie is great no matter what he does, and his live performances just gets better and better…
Great to see you again miss your positive reactions.
🙂
Ich habe 1985 Live Aid am Fernseher verfolgt und muss sagen erst der Auftritt von Queen hat das Konzert auf ein so hohes Niveau gehoben. Vielen Dank für den grandiosen live Auftritt. Ich bekomme heute noch Gänsehaut, wenn ich den Queen Auftritt sehe. Kein anderer Künstler/Band hatte so eine perfekte Performance an diesem Tag.
Endlich ein deutscher Kommentar! Ich hätte es gerne im Fernseher gesehen, aber ich bin nach 2000 geboren😔 Warst Du auch auf einem Konzert? Ich wäre auch gerne dort gewesen!!!
@@rogiloveyou MANNHEIM MAIMARKTGELÄNDE JUNI 1986.
@@verenaschimo6258 Wow...das muss ich erst einmal verstehen. ICH HABE SOEBEN EINE PERSON GEFUNDEN, DIE SCHON MAL QUEEN LIVE GESEHEN HAT?! WAS????? Mein aller größter Herzenswunsch wäre es gewesen, meine Idole zu treffen! Niemand versteht mich so wirklich, alle meine Freunde und Verwandten so :" Kennst du den Song schon? Oder den? Und der hier geht grad viral!" (Die neuen auf der Top-Chart-Playlist und Trends) Ich schwelge in nicht vorhandenen Erinnerungen und male mir aus, wie es wohl gewesen wäre.... Wie ich eine Karte bekommen hätte, und dann einfach, OMG ich kann mir das gar nicht ausmalen, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon und FREDDIE MERCURY gesehen hätte. Ich hätte einfach bei Radio Ga Ga nicht alleine in meinem Zimmer klatschen müssen, wie ich es tue, und nicht alleine auf meinem Bett We will Rock you grölen müssen, auch nicht alleine We are the Champions genießen müssen... Ich hätte einfach
bei einem Queen Konzert zugehört
Das klingt zwar jetzt komisch, aber mir fehlt dieses eine große Stück Erfülltheit, dieses Freddie-Mercury-Stück...
Dass er nicht mehr lebt ist einfach nicht zu begreifen.
Und dass auch Brian, Deaky und Roger nicht für immer leben, löst schon jetzt so einen tiefen Schmerz in mir aus.
Wie ich einfach eines Tages in den Nachrichten erfahren werden muss, dass einer von ihnen von uns gegangen ist.
Das....
Ich werde auf jeden deiner Kommentare antworten, sobald ich sie lesen!
Erzähl, welcher Platz, die Atmosphäre, die Fans, Radio Ga Ga,... ?
Bitte
Ich muss zugeben, ich fand's damals gar nicht so spannend als ein Cousin von mir sagte, komm lass uns nach Mannheim zu Queen fahren. Zu der Zeit waren so viele Bands und Künstler unterwegs. Und als Teenie und Azubi ist das Budget doch leicht begrenzt. An dem Tag war es sehr heiß. Ca. 80.000 Menschen waren da und wir mitten drin im Open Air. Ich geb's zu, ich fand damals Bohemian Rhapsody nicht so den Brüller. Ich habe erst mit The Works begonnen die Musik von Queen zu hören. Heute bin ich froh, dass ich damals mitgefahren bin, das Konzert war der Hammer und die Kind of Magic Songs sind nach wie vor meine Lieblinge.
@@verenaschimo6258 Ich hätte mit dir getauscht :)
Ive missed you! So glad you are back and love the pure joy in your face when you watch and listen to Freddie. Rock on!!
So happy to see your smiling face again! 🌝
This is the sound of 72,000 people singing along to their favorite song. 🌹RIP Freddie🌹
Love your reaction...rewind awayyyy
Queen, one of the very few that could be better live than in a studio. Freddies ability to play a croud was phenomenal
So, I saw Queen in Nottingham quite a few years ago. At the time, Paul Rogers jumped in as the singer...
But I remember 1991... I don't usually cry when one of the greats pass, but that was one of those occasions...
And then 2016 hit so hard, and I didn't stop crying for the whole bloody year... David Bowie, Glen Frey, Alan Rickman, and I thought, bloody hell, it's never gonna stop....
And I know your american, and I'm from the European continent, and moved to the UK in 2003.
The first voice I ever heard on the radio in the UK on the way up north from Dover was Terry Wogan, (it felt like he was welcoming me home) and even now I feel like crying when i think about it..
So, if you're ever in the mood for a laugh, or you need a bit of a boost, listen to the bbc2 morning show with Terry, when he reads Jack and Jill, or interacts with his Togs (it's on TH-cam) 🤣🤣
After they made the video of I Want To Break Free, which you should check out one day they were banned from the USA. And by the way welcome back!
You also need to react to a green day concert where the crowd sings this song. Thousands of people to see green day honoring queen by singing along to the song. It's pretty awesome.
I love that you have jumped into the immense rabbit hole that is Queen,you must do Barcelona,Freddie singing opera with Montserrat Caballé is a treat for the ears 🎶🎵😊
The most iconic moments in music history have this on their list.
I sure love your warm and happy smile and how much you enjoy this. You do bring up things I hadn't thought of. Thank you. Oh, do Righteous Brothers and Lou Rawls.
Glad to see you back great one to start with you should react to the whole 20 minute set x this is part of Queens Live Aid set all artists had the same allotted time it was a fundraiser for an African famine x
I love your reactions! Freddie Mercury is A ROCK GOD
What's amazing about his performance here is that he was suffering and dying yet gave his all til the very end for his fans.
Welcome back. Good, to see you again. 🙂
Queen live is more often than not, better than studio. You can listen to the same song at different performances, and they make it "new" every time. This is why Queen fans don't just say listen to a song live, but we have favorites at WHICH live show which song version.
Good that you are back man! We missed you!
You have to watch "Show must go on" by Queen. Freddie was at his worst with his battle with AIDS and to know that while hearing him sing that song in the only way Freddie could just brings it to another level. Enjoy! 😢💗
The best there ever was...miss you Freddie. RIP
What makes this performance even more impressive is that Freddie was diagnosed with laryngitis the week before. His doctor advised him to cancel his performance but he ignored the advice and went on to make history.
You are watching the songs from Live Aid where they had only 20 minutes for the entire performance- please watch the whole set- at one setting! To get the entire phenomenon- I’ve loved Freddie since 1976- he was just in his mid twenties when he wrote Bohrap! - you know Freddie lived in a boarding school in India for 10 years of his life- he had perfect grammer
Where have you been? You Have one of the great reactors of queen, I like how youlaugh, chill, thank you so much
The ultimate music video. Welcome back dude
I was just going back to watch your Bohemian Rhapsody reaction as saw you posted again. Great video. Two suggestions for ya... Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey and Chris Cornell Nothing Compares 2 U. Keep up the great work!
Great reaction. You if you' haven't already watch the Green Day crowd singing this as the warm up for there concert. It's brilliantl 😀
If you look at other concerts you will see that Freddie always does something different. With the song Love of my life. He performed it differently in Montreal 1981 where he sang with incredible vocals (of course), In the Rock in Rio version there are about 300,000+ Brazilians singing the majority of the song back to him and at Wembley Stadium it’s different again. You should check out all three to see the differences
Nice to see u again... Welcome back 😍
