Yes, stolen not sampled. It was a massive court case back in the day. I'm surprised Ice is still allowed to claim it. Maybe part of the royalties go to Queen?
@@ladyjane8855 no, all of the royalties go to Ice. Little known fact, he bought the rights to the song. In the long run it would’ve cost more to pay out royalties, so he bought it outright.
@@guslulu4126 This is another of Ice's lies told in an interview after loosing the legal battle in a sad attempt to look less the fool. I have never seen any confirmation from either the Queen or Bowie camps confirming that they sold the rights.
This is the studio version. They never performed it together live. The Freddie footage is from Queen at Wembley 1986. The footage of Bowie is from the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute concert where he performed it with Annie Lennox
@@seekerofshadowlight Yea they were both at Live Aid as well. Imagine how amazing it would have been if David Bowie joined Queen and they performed this song at Live Aid.
It's probably documented by now but if this person does t have a job somebody give them one. I knew they were never together i just couldn't believed it looked that smooth...and it's not been copyrighted and blocked frankly all around
It looks like most of this came from the official release of the Under Pressure (Rah Mix) from Queen’s Greatest Hits 3 of music videos from way back in the late 90s. I still have the VHS. It was probably produced by DoRo Productions (not sure if it was them, but they did most of Queen’s videos in later years). Doing the rotoscoping of the shots where you see Freddie and David together was much harder back then. So it’s fairly impressive in that sense. Now it’d be easier and I’ll bet they would mix more of the footage together now. I’ve done that type of rotoscoping and it can be a super time consuming!
No but they did record song together in Mercury’s Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. Bowie had a place there too at time. They reportedly butted heads but Brian May said it’s what made the song great.
Same, but I'm glad we've still got those two's entire catalog to listen through whenever we want. Bowie hit me hard. Still cry whenever I listen to black star or Lazarus. Man straight up recorded a whole album while he was dying to tell us all goodbye.
The only reason we are "divided" is because we have been programmed to be. The problem and solution is in the mirror. Turn off your tv and think for yourself.
@@loyal7597 There’s an old story that when you’re in a room being told by one person that it’s sunny outside whilst the other says it’s raining, the common sense thing to do is to look for yourself..
An amazing song, always thought it kind of sad they never performed it together live! Song's about the plight of the poor and homeless. RIP to Freddie and David Bowie. Much love Half and Jai!
That "arena" was Wembley Stadium in London, England with an attendance of about 72'000 people. P.S. Please make your next Queen reaction, One Vision!!!
@@themisianos I think that was how he came up with the Another one bites the dust riff. He was in the studio when Chic were recording Good Times and then came up with the Another one bites the dust riff.
They were merging Freddie's version from before he died 11/24/1991 with David Bowies Dedication to Freddie Concert. That is why if you notice Brian May walking around David and look closer you'll see Roger Taylor on Drums and John Decon with very buzz cut hair with a little gray. Everyone who played at the Dedication to Freddie Mercury Concert was phenomenal!
It's a mash up, the audience is when Queen played Wembley stadium. You guys really need to react to Quenn live at Wembley, it's like 25mins & like 6 songs but so worth it.
Specifically, they need to search for Queen's set at the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985. Of course, anything from Queen's 1986 Wembley concert (which a lot of this Under Pressure video comes from) is also highly recommended.
Now to do the LIVE performance at Wembley, 1986 (where Freddie’s part of the clips are from)... Just Queen (without David Bowie)... and the amazing way Freddie started it off. By the way, this particular video is a compilation: Bowie and Queen never performed it live together during Freddie’s lifetime (Bowie’s clips are from the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert )
Is a mix . A memorial to FREDDIE pass when Bowie sang and FREDDIE in Wembley 86 Bowie and QUEEN wrote this song together and Vanilla ice stole the riff
David doesn't get much love from the fans of these react videos, so thank you. No offense to Freddie as he does wonderful on this song like he always does, but just love the Bowie parts on this song. He needs to get more react love.🤷♂️👏👏👏
They recorded it together, but never performed it together live... Until the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, with Annie Lennox singing Freddie's parts
Lol .. he was rocking that Jacket !! One of his fans sent that to him hahaha .. I about died when he opened it ... he is a missing the hat, we need to get him a Pimp fedora !!
Mr. Video is funny as hell, LOL & he loves that jacket! 😂 Glad y’all like him, too. Please keep up the Queen 🕳🐇 “Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 - another great song with Freddie’s cool yellow jacket! (V I didn’t sample this riff, he flat out stole it.) This is a fan made video, but they did sing the song together.
No this ain't a "mix". They just never got to perform on stage together before Freddie died. They did the song in a studio together though! Fun fact: Bowie and Freddie were going to colab on a different song together and they decided to write a new one. They pulled an all-nighter drinking wine and high on coke and wrote this masterpiece!
Should check out “The Freddie Mercury Tribute” concert.. the remaining members of Queen performed with many huge performers like Bowie, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Seal, Elton John, Axel Rose and Slash, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, and many others...but my favorite was Bowie and Annie Lennox doing Under Pressure...
Love Queen also, but would love to hear reactions to all things Bowie. He has the most amazing collections of music. He has the hits but also uncompromising musical adventures. Great voice, lyrics and musical collaborators.. To hear his voice. 5 years (desperation), lady Grinning Soul (romantic sound), Wild is the Wind (over the top artfull -in a god way)Stay or Fame (for more upbeat funky sound) Personally i love the hidden gems even more. But to get you started..
If I remember correctly, David Bowie couldn’t make it to Live Aid where Queen was performing. David Bowie was having his own concert at the time. David Bowie was showing Queen at the same time doing it together. If that makes sense
Yes, more Queen please. Anything from their live Wembley concert is amazing. Also check out Freddie's duet with Spanish opera singer Monsterrat Cabballet Barcelona How can I go on The Golden boy
Thanks for the video Half and Jai, I always leave your page with a smile on my face. It is heartwarming watching you two find music that I have loved for 30 or 40 years, and I think loving it too. If you want to do a little humorous homework, search out Vanilla Ice explaining in an interview he did on MTV how the riff in his song and this riff aren't the same. R.I.P. Freddy and David, both left us too soon, with so much more music to give us.
They recorded it together but the Bowie-part of the stage mix comes from the Mercury tribute concert after he died (on Wembley arena in April 1992. Annie Lennox performed Mercurys part on that one and she did an amazing job. Great mix whoever did this!
Bowie co-write the song with Queen / Mercury during some studio sessions and in spite of the fact they could not agree on several elements of the song it was released & became one of their biggest hits. They never performed it together on stage, the clever video blends two different concert performances, one of Mercury & then other several years later of Bowie performing it at a concert honoring Mercury after he passed. Queen was playing with Bowie & the legendary Annie Lennox sang Freddie's part. Bowie performed this well into his later years with his long time bass player / band member, the lovely Gayle Ann Dorsey. (Who does a phenomenal job IMO) Anyway, the video is nicely done!
You guys are so adorable!! Love the Queen reactions!! UNDER PRESSURE is my ringtone!! 😁 Check out the live version by Queen at Wembley 1986. Okay even mentioning Vanilla Ice in the same sentence as Queen is blasphemy!! 😂😂😂 and Vanilla lost his shirt in the law suit. Now that’s funny!!
They created it together in a jam session at Queens studio. They performed it & both had hits.Freddie would sing it alone at their concerts. Bowie sang it with Annie Lennox at Freddie 's Memorial Concert in 1992.
I do love the two of you!!!! Keep laughing and enjoying your time together. You both bring a smile to my face which is hard to do now a days. By the way I love all the queen videos . ❤❤❤
You guys should watch the live version with Freddie’s intro warming up the crowd.... one of the most iconic live performances ever by a band an frontman
And now you know why Ice Ice Baby was so popular. Mr. Video in that jacket was classic! LOL You should check out their video at Live Aid. That crowd was incredible!
I know you've got a ton of Queen requests probably, but I would highly recommend "The Show Must Go On." It's a very emotional song, as Freddie was nearing the end of his life.
It makes me proud that me and my hubby helped keep this music alive. We raised our kids listening 🎧 to it and so many others. There will never be music like this again. Y'all keep the music alive!!!!
Yes a mix but the same venue freddy from 86 and David is from the tribute concert after freddy died but the recording was both . It Wembley stadium London built in Victorian period 75 thousand seats football stadium. It's been rebuild and is even bigger today
It was a clever mix of video. As far as I know, neither ever performed together for this song. Freddy died which is probably a main cause, but now without either, this video is a beautiful what if.
This was back in the 80's and 90's. I saw them in Tallahassee at FSU .They could have filled up 3 stadiums with their fans. IT WAS THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO.
Yeah...its a collab between the two legends. Freddies clips taken in their wembley concert and davids clips were taken during the tribute to freddie when he died. Also in wembley stadium. Very awesome.
Its confusing but you are listening to the studio version of Queen and David Bowie which was never performed live together. But you are seeing a mix of Queen performing it live at Wembley in 1986 and Bowie performing it live at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992 after Freddie's death.
Apparently they were day drinking in a bar queen and Bowie and the bass player wrote it but he got so drunk he forgot how it went but it came to him later
In 4:52 You can SEE both side to side and a couple of seconds before bowie appears behind the Queen guitarist but i don't know if it's a vídeo mix. The song it's a mix but i think at least one time they perform together.
Hi the clip is a mix yeah. They never performed that song together live. The footage with Freddie is from Live at Wembley 86. The footage with Bowie is from The Freddie Mercury Tribute concert 92 (Freddie passed away in 91) also live at Wembley
You two are so lovely!! This is an amazing duet, and the baseline, epic. They made soooooo many great songs. I suggest One Vision live at Wembley. Also used in the movie Iron Eagle. Much bless and love to You. I looooove the Queen journey!
@Anna Gonzalez Yeah, I know they sang it originally. I don't know what it is, I just don't like the song no matter who sings it. And I love Van Halen but they should've never covered it.
@@stevez.6805 that’s correct. There’s no way to make it a good song. Unless it’s re-written into a different song that’s a good song. But then it would be a different song.
its a mixed. the audio was a original studio recording. The Freddie's footage came from Queen live at Wembley '86. And David's footage came from the Tribute to Freddie Mercury concert '92 also at Wembley
Location Wembley, London.... Concert 1: Queen live at Wembley 1986 & Concert 2: Tribute to Freddie Mercury 1992.. (David Bowie and 3 Queen Members).... Original song with video MASH between those two concert. Song (Under Pressure) is from early 19802
According to Ice, no he didn't. He says he didn't have to pay a penny. Instead of dealing with legal fees and dealing with the courts, he claims to have bought the rights to the song. Now, every time you hear Under Pressure on the radio, Vanilla Ice gets the royalties, not Queen. He is apparently the sole owner.
@@MattMuirhead This is another of Ice's lies told in an interview after loosing the legal battle in a sad attempt to look less the fool. I have never seen any confirmation from either the Queen or Bowie camps confirming that they sold the rights.
@@linusromey561 I read an interview earlier tonight with Brian May who confirmed.... mostly. Said that they share rights, but the story is more or less correct.
It was the live aid concert 1985 Philly and london at same time , I was 14 and there in Philly . Where I come from. Most amazing show ever , Mick jagger and Tina turner duet , Black Sabbath reunion PHIL COLLINS PLAYED PHILLY THEN JUMPED ON A CONCORD AND PLAYED LONDON 4HOURS LATER , first time in history someone played live in front of a 100 000 people on 2continents in same day. It was for ending hunger in Ethiopia . Michael Jackson's creation from we are the world. Amazing I'll never forget it. We were there for 17 hours with 120.000people in no gone Franklin field. Where the Army / navy game was held every year for 90 years.
They did two concerts at once and played this song at both the first time. Queen did it at Wembley stadium to 80k+ fans...normal for them. DVD call queen live at Wembley, 3 days 100k each day
Under pressure by Queen accompanied by David Bowie was the live aid tour raising money for Aids awareness, this concert was at Wembley stadium in England 100,000+
The official video music for Under Pressure is a montage with scenes from everyday life and silent movies. This video was produced for the release of a remix version of Under Pressure called Rah-Mix with a montage of Queen's performances (with Freddie Mercury) at Wembley in 1986 and David Bowie's participation alongside Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute in 1922, also at Wembley. Unfortunately Mercury and Bowie did not perform together. However, in this version that you watched, someone changed the remix version for the original song.
Queen 1986 at Wembley (Live) David Bowie 1992 at Wembley (Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert) and edited the footage together. Wembley had a 80,000 capacity where we held our FA Cup games etc. Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and David Bowie were friends
I’ve been watching Half & Jai for a few months now and have just been in awe of you two. Couple goals right there!! Thanks for always putting a smile on our faces! Stay safe❤️
Yeee! Mr. Video, my guy. One if his subs sent that jacket. Got my H&J merch today! YAY!💙💙🙌🏼🙌🏼 Also, L from TMG4lyfe was sent a jacket like the one Freddie is wearing because he loves Freddie so much.
Okay folks! Freddie and David recorded this song in the studio … David was not thrilled with his performance and asked that his name be left off the credits!!! This video is actually from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert with David performing his part live on stage mixed in with the video of Freddie from one of his live concert!!! RIP Freddie Mercury
They were never on stage together but when Freddie died, Bowie wanted to do a cover with his voice and Freddies, the concert with crowd was live Aid Wembley, you should react to Queens Live Aid concert 30mins long and amazing
They wrote and recorded this song in the studio together. Video was edited from different performances later since they never performed it together live.
Weren’t on stage together but they did record song together in Freddie Mercury’s Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. Bowie had a place there too at time. They reportedly butted heads but Brian May said it’s what made the song great.
They recorded the song together but in this video, it's two different shows spliced together - where each party did the song sans the other. I think the yellow jacket show was at wembley stadium.
Of all the people I subscribe to, you are my favorite. I always enjoy watching you react to the music I grew up with. It’s like I am watching it for the first time. Keep it up!
I think that was one of Freddies last performances , it was for Live Aid. A benefit concert seen by millions around for Aids relief and it wasn't long after that Freddy died of aids.
They recorded the song together, but never performed it live together. There is a vocal track - no instruments, just Freddie and Bowie singing - floating around the internet. It's amazing. Even if you don't react to it, you should check it out.
Only 3 reaction channels I fck wid. Half N Jai, No life Shaq, and Mr Video
Love Shaq!
Check out Jamel_AKA_Jamal sometime. That guy goes deep on music reactions.
Only other reaction I watch is Twinsthenewtrend.

Yes, stolen not sampled. It was a massive court case back in the day. I'm surprised Ice is still allowed to claim it. Maybe part of the royalties go to Queen?
@@ladyjane8855 Yes, and to David Bowie...well, his Estate now 😢
Hey Margy 🤗 When he got his manager on the phone, the guy told Freddie he was already on it. 😂
@@ladyjane8855 no, all of the royalties go to Ice. Little known fact, he bought the rights to the song. In the long run it would’ve cost more to pay out royalties, so he bought it outright.

Thank you Michael as it’s saved me repeating what you’ve already said. Regards

@@seekerofshadowlight Yea they were both at Live Aid as well. Imagine how amazing it would have been if David Bowie joined Queen and they performed this song at Live Aid.
Yes , that falsetto is Freddie,, known for his huge,,
Powerful voice!
They were never on stage together but whoever put this video together did an amazing job.
It's probably documented by now but if this person does t have a job somebody give them one. I knew they were never together i just couldn't believed it looked that smooth...and it's not been copyrighted and blocked frankly all around

Doing the rotoscoping of the shots where you see Freddie and David together was much harder back then. So it’s fairly impressive in that sense. Now it’d be easier and I’ll bet they would mix more of the footage together now.
I’ve done that type of rotoscoping and it can be a super time consuming!
Well hell nah, I never knew that! Sweet, someone did a good job on this!
No but they did record song together in Mercury’s Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. Bowie had a place there too at time. They reportedly butted heads but Brian May said it’s what made the song great.

This song. It’s so damn relevant! I wish everyone would listen, really listen, to the lyrics. It’s scary how deeply divided we all are 😢

Maybe we should all stop, collaborate and listen?
@@jamesleate Hahahahaha! I get it.
An amazing song, always thought it kind of sad they never performed it together live! Song's about the plight of the poor and homeless. RIP to Freddie and David Bowie. Much love Half and Jai!
Freddie was a powerhouse, but David had such a uniquely beautiful voice.
I cried every time I saw this live... and even now... the meaning of the words are so POWERFUL and much needed in our world to heal us
Damn jai said plz don’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 half that jacket something different lmaoo I don’t even know why I had it on 😂
Lmfao 🤣 that was classic
Blanta Claus............relax
Hi Mr. Video
That "arena" was Wembley Stadium in London, England with an attendance of about 72'000 people.
P.S. Please make your next Queen reaction, One Vision!!!
Live at Wembley
@@karenj3611 Yes, Karen!
was more than that, that was the capacity of the seating alone. the crowd were on the pitch too . no idea of the amount tho.
Yessss! The opener from the 1986 concert at Wembley 👍👍👍
@@chrislc35 it doesnot a matter of how many people can fit in the stadium, it matters how many people the transport networks and police can manage.
John Deacon,Queens bass player,came up with that unmistakable riff that makes this song so distinctive.
While in a NYC studio hanging out with the band “Chic” of the song Le Freak fame. He came up with that riff!!
@@themisianos I think that was how he came up with the Another one bites the dust riff. He was in the studio when Chic were recording Good Times and then came up with the Another one bites the dust riff.
Somebody To Love live 1981 Montreal 😎
Yes...an incredible performance by Freddie
They were merging Freddie's version from before he died 11/24/1991 with David Bowies Dedication to Freddie Concert.

Is a mix . A memorial to FREDDIE pass when Bowie sang and FREDDIE in Wembley 86 Bowie and QUEEN wrote this song together and Vanilla ice stole the riff
Stole is correct, because he didn't even credit the writers and they had to sue him
David Bowie brings some FUNK to the table with Fame and Golden Years..you ought to check them out :)
David doesn't get much love from the fans of these react videos, so thank you. No offense to Freddie as he does wonderful on this song like he always does, but just love the Bowie parts on this song. He needs to get more react love.🤷♂️👏👏👏
They recorded it together, but never performed it together live... Until the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, with Annie Lennox singing Freddie's parts

“Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 - another great song with Freddie’s cool yellow jacket!
(V I didn’t sample this riff, he flat out stole it.) This is a fan made video, but they did sing the song together.
Stole it and lied about stealing it. Helped ruin his career!
@@0ly001 Didn’t help when he also stole from Wild Cherry, too
Watch queen perform and steal the entire show when they performed at Live Aid! Absolutely amazing!!

Queen & Bowie jammed together in a recording studio in Switzerland...John Decon came up with the bass riff and the rest is history .
Love the laughter 🥰😂🤣 need more smiles in the world today !
Should check out “The Freddie Mercury Tribute” concert.. the remaining members of Queen performed with many huge performers like Bowie, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Seal, Elton John, Axel Rose and Slash, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, and many others...but my favorite was Bowie and Annie Lennox doing Under Pressure...
Epic tribute 🙌
Love Queen also, but would love to hear reactions to all things Bowie. He has the most amazing collections of music. He has the hits but also uncompromising musical adventures. Great voice, lyrics and musical collaborators..
To hear his voice. 5 years (desperation), lady Grinning Soul (romantic sound), Wild is the Wind (over the top artfull -in a god way)Stay or Fame (for more upbeat funky sound)
Personally i love the hidden gems even more. But to get you started..
Check out the live performance at Wembley. Freddie's singing is off the charts.
I'd love Jai and Half to react to Bowie - especially live - doing Young Americans or Fame. I love you both! Jai's laugh is pure inspiration !
One of the greatest songs from any collaboration of two
incredible artists.
If I remember correctly, David Bowie couldn’t make it to Live Aid where Queen was performing. David Bowie was having his own concert at the time. David Bowie was showing Queen at the same time doing it together. If that makes sense
Bowie was at live aid right after Queen, set list on TH-cam opened with TVC15

Freddie's was recorded at Wembley in 1986..David's is at Wembley too. In 1992 for the tribute concert the spring after Freddie passed away.
Vanilla stole that riff. He paid Queen A LOT of money for "borrowing" it.😂
And the rest of his money got stolen by Suge Knight remember he had him held over the balcony until he signed it over to him

Apparently they were day drinking in a bar queen and Bowie and the bass player wrote it but he got so drunk he forgot how it went but it came to him later
Yes, ‘John forgot it - but luckily Roger remembered it!
@@lynnhoffmann247 yes that's it lynn. Great story
In 4:52 You can SEE both side to side and a couple of seconds before bowie appears behind the Queen guitarist but i don't know if it's a vídeo mix. The song it's a mix but i think at least one time they perform together.
They did do this on stage, but only a few times. Both queen and Bowie would do this in concert on their own as well after they recorded it.
That was David Bowie singing at Freddie’s memorial concert in Wembley and Stadium in London
Hi the clip is a mix yeah. They never performed that song together live. The footage with Freddie is from Live at Wembley 86. The footage with Bowie is from The Freddie Mercury Tribute concert 92 (Freddie passed away in 91) also live at Wembley
You two are so lovely!! This is an amazing duet, and the baseline, epic. They made soooooo many great songs. I suggest One Vision live at Wembley. Also used in the movie Iron Eagle. Much bless and love to You. I looooove the Queen journey!
Freddy and David bowie met in the recording studio and made this hit song in a few short hours.The concert is at wembley stadium in england.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Glad you covered it
You should check out David Bowie and Mick Jaguar doing Dancing In The Streets.
That song sucks no matter who sings it including Van Halen.
@Anna Gonzalez Yeah, I know they sang it originally. I don't know what it is, I just don't like the song no matter who sings it. And I love Van Halen but they should've never covered it.
@@stevez.6805 that’s correct. There’s no way to make it a good song. Unless it’s re-written into a different song that’s a good song. But then it would be a different song.
Haha yeah that video is one of the worst of all time
And yes they were on stage together David Bowie came out just for this one song during the tour courtesy of his record label
its a mixed. the audio was a original studio recording. The Freddie's footage came from Queen live at Wembley '86. And David's footage came from the Tribute to Freddie Mercury concert '92 also at Wembley
I need you guys to do more Bowie reactions! Fame, space oddity, etc
Back in the 60's through 80's, peace and love was all you needed
That jacket Leo (Mr Video) had on was 🔥🔥 Vanilla Ice ''stole'' that and got his butt sued..
Location Wembley, London.... Concert 1: Queen live at Wembley 1986 & Concert 2: Tribute to Freddie Mercury 1992.. (David Bowie and 3 Queen Members).... Original song with video MASH between those two concert. Song (Under Pressure) is from early 19802
Never had heard David's voice, but I like it. I never even new what his voice sound like, grave, soft, low, nothing. I like it.
Vanilla Ice lost his a** in the copyright lawsuit over that baseline.
*bassline
According to Ice, no he didn't. He says he didn't have to pay a penny. Instead of dealing with legal fees and dealing with the courts, he claims to have bought the rights to the song. Now, every time you hear Under Pressure on the radio, Vanilla Ice gets the royalties, not Queen. He is apparently the sole owner.
@@MattMuirhead that is correct.
@@MattMuirhead This is another of Ice's lies told in an interview after loosing the legal battle in a sad attempt to look less the fool. I have never seen any confirmation from either the Queen or Bowie camps confirming that they sold the rights.
@@linusromey561 I read an interview earlier tonight with Brian May who confirmed.... mostly. Said that they share rights, but the story is more or less correct.
It was the live aid concert 1985 Philly and london at same time , I was 14 and there in Philly . Where I come from.
Most amazing show ever , Mick jagger and Tina turner duet , Black Sabbath reunion PHIL COLLINS PLAYED PHILLY THEN JUMPED ON A CONCORD AND PLAYED LONDON 4HOURS LATER , first time in history someone played live in front of a 100 000 people on 2continents in same day.
It was for ending hunger in Ethiopia . Michael Jackson's creation from we are the world. Amazing I'll never forget it.
We were there for 17 hours with 120.000people in no gone Franklin field.
Where the Army / navy game was held every year for 90 years.
They did two concerts at once and played this song at both the first time. Queen did it at Wembley stadium to 80k+ fans...normal for them. DVD call queen live at Wembley, 3 days 100k each day
Under pressure by Queen accompanied by David Bowie was the live aid tour raising money for Aids awareness, this concert was at Wembley stadium in England 100,000+
The official video music for Under Pressure is a montage with scenes from everyday life and silent movies. This video was produced for the release of a remix version of Under Pressure called Rah-Mix with a montage of Queen's performances (with Freddie Mercury) at Wembley in 1986 and David Bowie's participation alongside Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute in 1922, also at Wembley. Unfortunately Mercury and Bowie did not perform together. However, in this version that you watched, someone changed the remix version for the original song.
🤣 I told him he needs to wear his Rick Flair Drip everytime🤣🙌🖤🙌
Great song! I have it on one of my workout playlists, so I probably hear it a few times a week lol
Queen 1986 at Wembley (Live) David Bowie 1992 at Wembley (Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert) and edited the footage together. Wembley had a 80,000 capacity where we held our FA Cup games etc. Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and David Bowie were friends
I’ve been watching Half & Jai for a few months now and have just been in awe of you two. Couple goals right there!! Thanks for always putting a smile on our faces! Stay safe❤️
Yeee! Mr. Video, my guy. One if his subs sent that jacket. Got my H&J merch today! YAY!💙💙🙌🏼🙌🏼 Also, L from TMG4lyfe was sent a jacket like the one Freddie is wearing because he loves Freddie so much.
Okay folks! Freddie and David recorded this song in the studio … David was not thrilled with his performance and asked that his name be left off the credits!!! This video is actually from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert with David performing his part live on stage mixed in with the video of Freddie from one of his live concert!!! RIP Freddie Mercury
You want a rabbit hole - check out Pink Floyd, any song but you have to start with Great Gig In The Sky. It's an emotional experience.
It was at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Seating capacity is 90K but with people on the field and SRO tickets could be over 100 - 110K.
They were never on stage together but when Freddie died, Bowie wanted to do a cover with his voice and Freddies, the concert with crowd was live Aid Wembley, you should react to Queens Live Aid concert 30mins long and amazing
Bowie went to school with Peter Frampton ("Do You Feel Like We Do". Frampton's father was the headmaster ('principal' in American vernacular).
They wrote and recorded this song in the studio together. Video was edited from different performances later since they never performed it together live.
lmao he was peacocking with that jacket couldn't let hes brother show him up with the shades
Weren’t on stage together but they did record song together in Freddie Mercury’s Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. Bowie had a place there too at time. They reportedly butted heads but Brian May said it’s what made the song great.
They recorded the song together but in this video, it's two different shows spliced together - where each party did the song sans the other.
I think the yellow jacket show was at wembley stadium.
Of all the people I subscribe to, you are my favorite. I always enjoy watching you react to the music I grew up with. It’s like I am watching it for the first time. Keep it up!
I think that was one of Freddies last performances , it was for Live Aid. A benefit concert seen by millions around for Aids relief and it wasn't long after that Freddy died of aids.
Queen was performing at Wembley Stadium in London, England for that huge around the world concert for Live Aid
IT WAS THE FREDDY MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT. AMAZING PEOPLE HONORING THE LATE, GREAT FREDDY!!!
Love seeing you guy's. I get off of work tske my shower love watching you guy's. You all make me smile so much thanks for all that
They recorded the song together, but never performed it live together. There is a vocal track - no instruments, just Freddie and Bowie singing - floating around the internet. It's amazing. Even if you don't react to it, you should check it out.
