Honestly, every Queen song is a favorite Queen song at some point in your life. Queen had a way of writing and performing music that would stay relevent your whole life. Some songs or performances just hit differently at different points in your life. It's one of the reasons Queen fans are so long-lasting and loyal.
Wanted to mention that Dr Brian May, besides being an astrophysicist, is a devoted animal rights activist who has his own foundation called Save Me which cares for injured and abandoned wild animals. An truly amazing man!
This song, this song, it ranks so high, for sure my top 5 Queen songs. Brian on the piano, Freddie walking over to start the song with him, Brian moving to the guitar, Freddie realizing his piano part is coming up, moving quickly to the piano and not missing a note and Freddie’s vocals here are outstanding along with the bands. It is a very special song. It always brings tears, every time. ❤️
Queen were so popular everywhere in the world, but not so much in the US back then. Not that much airtime given to them. Queen just didn't fit neatly into one little peg of "ROCK". They are actually amazing and their body of work is timeless. Freddie's voice is beyond beauty. Brian's guitar work is superb. Roger's drums are solid. John carries it with the bass. Still sounds fresh today.
I think it is just great that you are sharing this with an entirely new Generation. Their production standards and craftsmanship was just off the charts. I can't name any artists today who can reach this level of Live majesty!
This is my favorite song. “I hang my head and I advertise, a soul for sale or rent. I have no heart, I’m cold inside, I have no real intent” I think is one of the best lines ever written. The official video for this song is beautiful.
Yes Brian wrote amazing, intelligent and beautiful lyrics...Freddie's voice is perfection. Another good one again written by Brian and powerfully sung by Freddie is WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, live at Wembley and LOVE OF MY LIFE, also at Wembley
Another great performance from Queen. Is there any other kind!! I love this performance of this song. It always amazes me how Freddie can move around the stage and sing with such power and emotion. Most singers couldn't stand still and sing like him. Thank you. 💜💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹💙💙💙💙🌞🌞🌞🌞
Wonderful . . . Freddie ran down those steps vocalising his anguish and attacked the piano not missing a thing. Of course he could because the Queen four were each spectacular musicians and performers! Great reaction . . . thanks.
Brian wrote the song about his friend's troubles and yes he is a good piano player, but all 4 band members could play piano and guitar. I think it's unique, too. There is a compilation on TH-cam with Roger's and Brian's commentary about the whole Montreal concert, pls. check it out once, it's really interesting.
@@RoverWaters She said “good”, not outstanding. As a piano player, I would say he IS a good player. He knows enough to compose on the piano and perform what he needs to live. And he has a nice smooth, relaxed touch. Does he consider himself a pianist? No. But that is a lot more than many guitarists (and a lot of pianists I know) can do.
There isn't one member of Queen who cannot write, sing or produce an amazing song! Brian's songs are so personal. I wish you did the reaction to the actual video. BTW, every song that you listen to will be the fave song until you hear the next one. Maybe you can do the reaction to 'Tie Your Mother Down' because it is an ultimate rock song!!!
Beautiful, great vid. That aura of light in the beginning, wow!!! Such a heartfelt song. ♥️ Thankyou dear, always a joy to watch your Queen reactions. It keeps their legacy alive.
"Too Much Love Will Kill You" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I hope you'll react to it. You want the version that Freddie sings. (Official video)
Who Wants to Live Forever, live, it’s gotta be live so you see and hear the emotion Freddie puts into this song. Hey! Fellow subscribers, how about a few likes to try and sway the vote for next Sunday. Keep enjoying Queen young man. It brings a smile to an old mans face watchin you kids discover “classic” rock. 🍻🖖
I'm happy to see the young men and women relating to talent of the 70's...these bands didn't have the technical advantages of today and had to rely on their personal talents.
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert Oh...sorry...I see it was a shortened live version with "I'm in Love with My Car". Doesn't really do the song credit. If you're feeling like it try the original Top of the Pops version from the 70's. This song was key in developing Queen's success. Thought you'd get a kick out of the visuals.
all ballads of Queen are amazing. but i specially love this one, it shows how they knew each other so well, when Freddie missed his qeue at the start of the song, and so he went near Brian and gave him a nod, and started a beautiful song!
I thought it was Brian not syncing up - new for them both, I suspect. Several side glances from Freddie in the beginning. Rather endearing, seeing that level of calm and trust between them in the performance mode.
Actually no one missed the cue there, except you amateur Queen fans did... 🙄 Brian was/is a beginner piano player, the part hes playing was rehearsed and memorized. HE CANT Improvise... and Freddie is teasing him by delaying the start. Brian turns to Freddie as to tell him... "thats all I can play" and Freddie knew...😁 Same thing happened multiple time while touring, including at Wembley when Brian is playin the rehearsed keyboard part for WWTLForever.
If you listen to the studio/lyric version of You Take my Breath Away you may change your mind again. I love both versions. Live, it's Freddie and his piano managing an intimate performance in front of a huge audience. In the lyric version, Freddie has layered the harmonies like he did in the intro to Bohemian Rhapsody and it's like listening to a completely different song. If you haven't done March of the Black Queen yet, that will knock your socks off for several different reasons. I so much enjoy your understated reactions. It's refreshing after hearing some of the ones with loud, aggressive delivery. Your facial expressions say it all! Thanks in advance for Queen Sundays!
Jarrett, I think another Queen song you would enjoy "Is This The World We Created." You can find it either with Brian May at the end of Live Aid, or Live at Wembley.
Great song. I can't believe I got here right after you posted. Enjoy you reactions. If you ever want a fun little jaunty tune to bop around to, check out "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy." It's early Queen (1976?) and is sort of ragtime. Is there are musical style they couldn't do?
Rad I’m late to the Queen Sunday but alas just returned from church!! Love this song written by Brian May. The lyrics are about a friend’s break-up/divorce!! ☹️Love that we get to see Brian on the piano with his favorite kid The Red Special. The transition between Freddie & Brian is fantastic!! It’s amazing how much talent is in one band! I’ve speculated on who this song could be about .. have my guesses but as you know Queen left it up to the listener. 💔💔
There are several Queen songs that when I heard them I thought Freddie must have written them because they have so much angst. I thought that came from all that Freddie had been through and he sang them with such emotion, but no, Brian wrote them. Brian went through a lot too. :-)
This is what made Freddie so amazing. He sold the song like it was his own whether he wrote it or not. Brian revealed that in the band's beginnings, he and Roger were quite possessive of the songs they wrote and if they couldn't sing it themselves (despite having good voices; people wanted Freddie) then they wanted to dictate how it should be sung. However, as they toured more and preferred to deviate from studio version of songs, they became more in awe of what Freddie could do with his voice and "their" songs... and pretty much gave him free reign because of his magical voice... not just range but knowing just how to sing each word, each note. "Save Me" may not be as complicated as some of their other songs but this version is one of my all time favorites. So beautiful in it's simplicity. Also, showcases how cohesive the band was with the piano transition. Brian had to have his guitar strapped to him to quickly switch as Freddie hurried back over while singing! Always surprising/impressive that Freddie didn't write this song, nor did Brian write it about his own failed relationship, yet you believed they were singing/writing from their own heartache.
@@lizj7028 I had heard that although Roger and Brian wanted to sing their songs or call the shots at first they later preferred for Freddie to sing them. How could they not, Freddie was such a great singer in every way. I agree Roger and Brian did well with singing, but no one else is a Freddie Mercury. It must have been great for John to write a song and see how Freddie brought it to life and made it a hit. That makes me think of how Freddie felt to sing with Montserrat Caballé; it was so gratifying for him.
@@lizj7028 It was also a brilliant way for Freddie & the band to make it difficult for at least part of their fan base to perceive Freddie as gay, singing as he did, so convincingly love (and sexy) songs about being with a woman. Because God knows, from day one, Freddie himself didn't really hide it at all. So much brilliance of all sorts in these 4 men-- it's otherworldly. That's why they are all legends.
I can't tell what my favourite songs is, but I love Show must go on, White queen, who wants to live forever It's hard so many of them Hammer to fall, Another one bites the dust, BoRap, Radio gaga, Innuendo 🤷♀️💗💗💗 Queen is very difficult even for top 5 songs. 🤔🤪
Goodmorning Rad, It's 3:30 am here in Melbourne and I couldn't sleep, it's 3 deg C here, and i'm up watching you! lol love the idea of Queen Sundays :)
Brian wrote this song about a “friend” going through a breakup. Some think it’s about Freddie breaking up with his fiance, Mary Austin. Freddie did love her until he died and left her the bulk of his Estate and his home, Garden Lodge. He also trusted her to place his ashes per his instructions. (She’s the only one who knows where Freddie’s final resting place is).
I’ve suspected it might be about Freddie & Mary breaking up! After all Brian did date Mary first & they were friends! But then again Brian battled with his own relationships, too!
One of the best love song of Queen, and yep, Brian can play the piano has well. And guees what, if you ever meke a reaction to My best friend music video you´ll see John on the piano.
If you do the last few videos have a box of tissues handy You may need them when you see poor Freddie. How sad but also how brave and courageus of him. This is a great reaction Rad
Brian wrote that song in respect for a couple he knew...so talented all of the band. I'm so old but the Queen songs just hit me as beautiful and all are so creative and melodious.
Ok, so for next Sunday I have a great triple header. Love of my life live in Montreal Love of my life live at Wembley Love of my life live at Rock in Rio The Montreal performance is all Freddie and Brian, beautiful vocals and accompaniment on guitar Wembley has some great audience participation. Rio has the largest audience participation ever, and is just something you have to see.
Thanks, Rad! - as usual, others have beaten me to the coolest stuff - Brian wrote the song, and while he was playing keys, he had his guitar in his lap(!) so the transition was smoothest ever when he just "shows up" playing lead and Freddie just tosses the mic and sits down at the piano -- I love that! - look forward to more from you...
For next Queen Sunday, please do the Studio / album version of all 3 of today’s songs. They are all quite different and special in the studio. Dragon Attack you only got half the song, Save Me has a wonderful video as it was released as a single, and Don’t Take My Breath away is simply next level insane vocals and harmonies in the Studio version. Love your reaction too btw, thanks!
As Freddie said this is off the Game album, which the video is from the Game tour, in last it was the last song on the album. I had the pleasure pf seeing them live in Madison Square Garden in September 1980. That album had a few hits on it, but for me this was my favorite tune.
2:09 Brian was/is a beginner piano player, the part hes playing was rehearsed and memorized. HE CANT Improvise... and Freddie is teasing him by delaying the start. Brian turns to Freddie as to tell him... "thats all I can play" and Freddie knew...😁 Same thing happened multiple time while touring, including at Wembley when Brian is playin the rehearsed keyboard part for WWTLForever.
You must react to Who Wants to Live Forever the video is absolutely freaking amazing also the song The Show Must Go On because Freddy literally recorded it a few days right before he passed away and he sounded absolutely beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it still to this day!!
Not true about him dying a few days later. The Show Must Go On was recorded in 1990. Freddie passed at the end of 1991. But he was ill and his vocal on the song is incredible :)
The Show Must Go On" is a song by the British rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Innuendo. It is credited to Queen, but written mainly by Brian May.[3] The song chronicles the effort of frontman Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his diagnosis with HIV/AIDS had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill.[4] When the band recorded the song in 1990 Mercury's condition had deteriorated to the point that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. May recalls; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling'-vodka down-and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal" I had heard somewhere that he had passed shortly after recording the vocals so that information was incorrect but the part about him being extremely deteriorated from his illness was not. That's what makes this Song so brilliant and absolutely amazing and makes me cry to this day every time I hear it knowing it was one of Freddie's last songs he would ever sing. RIP Freddie 🙏
Freddy actually missed his cue at the start of this one, that's why he gives Roger a big grin as he's walking towards Brian..the queen lads killed it as always...
Very beaty, but a very difrent song from Dragon attac, that are ballades and hard-rock, its from each side of the skala……heare at Sombody to love, from same concert….I tell you, you have a very low sooming, relaxsing voice…..💗
All the tings are said about this best band ever... Freddie, Brian, Roger, John, the instruments, the voices and and and... but Freddie has the best guy ever to giving and taking a mic out from nowhere. Or? lol
Agree 💯 and WAY too many reactors are skipping over those. Always loved The Platters, The Great Pretender; but when I first heard, then later saw, Freddie singing it, it was like those lyrics were absolutely written for him.
lovely comments, great response. I love Queen. But why are you taking up all the frame? Surely the band you are reviewing should be taking up the most space. I will always look at your reactions. Just saying. x
Never really thought of it tbh but i think most ppl watching have already heard the songs a thousand times and are probably more interested in seeing how new ppl react to it for the first time?
Freddie's vocals on this song were at his peak, this whole concert was amazing.
Honestly, every Queen song is a favorite Queen song at some point in your life. Queen had a way of writing and performing music that would stay relevent your whole life. Some songs or performances just hit differently at different points in your life. It's one of the reasons Queen fans are so long-lasting and loyal.
I’m definitely a fellow queen fan now too 🤗
A Brian May masterpiece sent into outer space by Freddie!💥💥💥
Love your comment !
Generally, your favourite Queen song is the one you’ve just listened to!
Most definitely ❤️❤️
Couldn’t agree more 🤩
Oh so true💜
BEST. DESCRIPTION. EVER!!!😄💕
So true
If you notice, Brian is playing the piano with his guitar in his lap ready to jump up and play about half way through the song.
you should notice more things...
@@RoverWaters I notice everything
Wanted to mention that Dr Brian May, besides being an astrophysicist, is a devoted animal rights activist who has his own foundation called Save Me which cares for injured and abandoned wild animals. An truly amazing man!
He is...

There were us die hard Queenies that remained loyal during that time period
Well said Donnalea
The whole concert is a demonstration of talent
Legacy like no other

This shows what an amazing musician Brian May is. 🔥😍🐐
Yes Brian wrote amazing, intelligent and beautiful lyrics...Freddie's voice is perfection. Another good one again written by Brian and powerfully sung by Freddie is WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, live at Wembley and LOVE OF MY LIFE, also at Wembley
Love Of M Life is Freddie ´s song
Another really beautiful Queen song,but check out the jaw dropping, non English speaking crowd in Rio singing this with Freddie & Brian.
Another great performance from Queen. Is there any other kind!! I love this performance of this song. It always amazes me how Freddie can move around the stage and sing with such power and emotion. Most singers couldn't stand still and sing like him. Thank you. 💜💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹💙💙💙💙🌞🌞🌞🌞
Y’all need to “Save Me” from falling to pieces…..one of my favorite Queen tunes✌🏾🙋🏽♀️👑
Wonderful . . . Freddie ran down those steps vocalising his anguish and attacked the piano not missing a thing. Of course he could because the Queen four were each spectacular musicians and performers! Great reaction . . . thanks.

Who wants to live forever, live Budapest.
YES! Wembley is excellant too, but to me, Freddie’s performance of WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER in Budapest touches the heart even more.
@@barbaramendoza2202 yes Barbara think it just edges the Wembley performance but only just.

Yes - live in Budapest is visually very dramatic, on top of soaring vocals.
Yes, live Wembley Friday night or Budapest. Wembley Saturday is great too but IMO the other two are just better.
Wembley Friday night! Oh yeah! No question!

Let Me Live includes verses sung by Roger and Brian. It's beautiful.
Every Queen song is my favorite.

I'm happy to see the young men and women relating to talent of the 70's...these bands didn't have the technical advantages of today and had to rely on their personal talents.
Queen Sundays...all for it. This is one of my favourites. So many favourites. You should go back to the beginning...Killer Queen is a must.
I think i did this one
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert Oh...sorry...I see it was a shortened live version with "I'm in Love with My Car". Doesn't really do the song credit.

YESSSS - ADD TO THAT SEASIDE RENDEZVOUS
Rad I’m late to the Queen Sunday but alas just returned from church!! Love this song written by Brian May. The lyrics are about a friend’s break-up/divorce!! ☹️Love that we get to see Brian on the piano with his favorite kid The Red Special. The transition between Freddie & Brian is fantastic!! It’s amazing how much talent is in one band! I’ve speculated on who this song could be about .. have my guesses but as you know Queen left it up to the listener. 💔💔
David Minns. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy written for David, too.

It's hard so many of them Hammer to fall, Another one bites the dust, BoRap, Radio gaga, Innuendo

Queen is very difficult even for top 5 songs. 🤔🤪
Queen, Play the Game live in Montreal it’s amazing to. 👌
And now two Father’s Day gifts. Thanks. Rock On!
This is my favorite slower Queen song. Hammer To Fall is my favorite upbeat song.
Did you see Brian’s guitar in his lap while playing piano?
My top 5 changes all the time!
We have this in common 😅
Goodmorning Rad, It's 3:30 am here in Melbourne and I couldn't sleep, it's 3 deg C here, and i'm up watching you! lol love the idea of Queen Sundays :)
Thanks Sandie! Thank you for supporting me always! ❤️

Brian wrote this song about a “friend” going through a breakup. Some think it’s about Freddie breaking up with his fiance, Mary Austin. Freddie did love her until he died and left her the bulk of his Estate and his home, Garden Lodge. He also trusted her to place his ashes per his instructions. (She’s the only one who knows where Freddie’s final resting place is).
@Barbara Mendoza. I've convinced myself these lyrics are Brian 'handling' the beginning of the break-up with his first wife thus their family unit.
I’ve suspected it might be about Freddie & Mary breaking up! After all Brian did date Mary first & they were friends! But then again Brian battled with his own relationships, too!
@@marvalstith2749 Interesting. Could be, although he said on camera it was written for a friend.

Love Brians compositions
Just look at that beautiful HALO, around Brian as he begins playing the piano!! Brian write this song, and bottom line it's PURELY AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩

You may need them when you see poor Freddie. How sad but also how brave and courageus of him. This is a great reaction Rad
One of my fave songs..beautiful.melody and great lyrics. Queen Forever...and ever
Also watch the official music video of this song.
Brian wrote that song in respect for a couple he knew...so talented all of the band. I'm so old but the Queen songs just hit me as beautiful and all are so creative and melodious.

Listen to the album The Game, Queen were at their absolute peak around 1980. This song was so close to the album version. Freddie's voice is so sharp.
As Freddie said this is off the Game album, which the video is from the Game tour, in last it was the last song on the album. I had the pleasure pf seeing them live in Madison Square Garden in September 1980. That album had a few hits on it, but for me this was my favorite tune.
They wear white at the suggestion of the gal who made their costumes. They show up better on stage at night
Another beautiful song performed faultlessy.
No words...wait,maybe one....Legendary.Good reaction video 👍

Brian turns to Freddie as to tell him... "thats all I can play" and Freddie knew...😁
Same thing happened multiple time while touring, including at Wembley when Brian is playin the rehearsed keyboard part for WWTLForever.
WOW that was absolutely amazing. ❤
Freddie could sing the alphabet and make it sound great.
Did you notice that Brian had his guitar strapped on during his piano playing for the quick switch.
i have u heard love of my life live at whembly stadium his voice is amazing dude!
love your reactions Rad J
One of my favs!
Ha, like me, you have a lot of top 5s. Did you notice that he had his guitar across his lap while he was at the piano?
Very good observation
Play the game, same concert it's epic man.
It's the perfect break up song
You must react to Who Wants to Live Forever the video is absolutely freaking amazing also the song The Show Must Go On because Freddy literally recorded it a few days right before he passed away and he sounded absolutely beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it still to this day!!
Not true about him dying a few days later. The Show Must Go On was recorded in 1990. Freddie passed at the end of 1991. But he was ill and his vocal on the song is incredible :)
The Show Must Go On" is a song by the British rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Innuendo. It is credited to Queen, but written mainly by Brian May.[3] The song chronicles the effort of frontman Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life, although his diagnosis with HIV/AIDS had not yet been made public in spite of ongoing media speculation claiming that he was seriously ill.[4] When the band recorded the song in 1990 Mercury's condition had deteriorated to the point that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. May recalls; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling'-vodka down-and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal" I had heard somewhere that he had passed shortly after recording the vocals so that information was incorrect but the part about him being extremely deteriorated from his illness was not. That's what makes this Song so brilliant and absolutely amazing and makes me cry to this day every time I hear it knowing it was one of Freddie's last songs he would ever sing. RIP Freddie 🙏
Please suggest it for queen Sunday’s next week when i make the community post
Freddy actually missed his cue at the start of this one, that's why he gives Roger a big grin as he's walking towards Brian..the queen lads killed it as always...
I believe it was written by the guitarist Brian may. About a lost love or something like that. You can look it up
Please Sir react to Queen - Get Down Make Love ( live in Montreal aswell)
Very beaty, but a very difrent song from Dragon attac, that are ballades and hard-rock, its from each side of the skala……heare at Sombody to love, from same concert….I tell you, you have a very low sooming, relaxsing voice…..💗
Thank you 🤗
How many musicians do you know that can play several instruments and well?
Not many lol
All the tings are said about this best band ever... Freddie, Brian, Roger, John, the instruments, the voices and and and... but Freddie has the best guy ever to giving and taking a mic out from nowhere. Or? lol
I doubt you can rank Queen!!! lol
I see you already did this one ... Good. Try seven seas of rye next. Thank you.
Do not fioget there are some Freddie solos also. The Great Pretender and living on my own ate worthy of your attention.too
Agree 💯 and WAY too many reactors are skipping over those. Always loved The Platters, The Great Pretender; but when I first heard, then later saw, Freddie singing it, it was like those lyrics were absolutely written for him.
Thanks Stephen. Please suggest them for queen Sunday’s when i do the community post
Hi Jarrett, could you please react to Show must on🙏❤❤
Freddie could sing the alphabet and make sound great.
Hey react to queen play the game live Montreal
R.I.P. FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Try PLAY THE GAME SAME concert
Brian wrote this song -
lovely comments, great response. I love Queen. But why are you taking up all the frame? Surely the band you are reviewing should be taking up the most space. I will always look at your reactions. Just saying. x
Never really thought of it tbh but i think most ppl watching have already heard the songs a thousand times and are probably more interested in seeing how new ppl react to it for the first time?
you're in trouble
Why do you say, "that was my reaction" before you give your reaction?
I did?
