Go Johnny Go, was a reference to Chuck Berry's song...Queen is Freddie Mercury-piano/vocals, Brian May-guitar/vocals, Roger Taylor-drums/vocals and John Deacon-bass/some back vocals
More clarification: Queen was rock band not a support band for Freddie. this is a rock show not a recital given by a solo singer like Elton John or Mariah Carey.
Roger is a beast on the drums no wonder he said this song was the hardest to drum x there is a Roger camera just focused on him for this concert you can see how hard he is working there are camera’s on Freddie, Brian & John too great to watch x
Hi Sean..well spotted “go Johnny go”...that’s a line from the Chuck Berry song, “Johnny B. Goode”...yes, he meant John Deacon...also when he sings “down in the city just Hoople and me”, that’s a reference to Queen’s early days when they supported the band “Mott the Hoople” in New York City...just a little info for you..I enjoy your reactions to Queen...in my opinion, the greatest band ever,🤩
LOVE THE MOMENT WHEN FREDDIE RAISES THE HALF MIC STAND ABOVE HIS HEAD LIKE A MAJESTIC WARRIOR CONQUERING THE AUDIENCE!! 🎤🎤 One of my favorite live performances by Queen at Wembley! Good reaction!
The same part of the song is my favorite as well... Freddie liked to surprise the audience. REQUEST: "FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS" LIVE AT MILTON KEYNES BOWL IN 1982 ALSO "WHITE QUEEN LIVE AT ODEON HAMMERSMITH IN 1975
This is one of the best performances of this track ever and also one of the best songs of the Wembley 86 concert. They are just jamming it in many parts. Often overlooked in my view. One of my favourite Brian May tracks. Totally awesome.
I loved your remarks about this performance! I'd like to see what you think of Queen in the early stages of thei career. Stone Cold Crazy, live at the Rainbow. Killer Queen, official video or on Top of the Pops, 1974. Flick of the Wrist, live at the Rainbow.
They have quite a few upbeat blues feeling rock songs. Those are really good for show starters and stuff. They can get the crowd going early on. Queen has an amazing catalogue to work with
I really enjoyed your reaction, you did some perfect observations. Hurricane Freddie swept along the stage again and that stage was 50 m wide. It was a part of the 26 stages Eruopean tour and the tickets to the Wembley were sold out for 2 nights within a few hours (72 000 people/night), that's why they added one more concert to it for a cca. 150 000 audience at Knebworth. That was the band's very last live performance, Freddie got tired and didn't want to do it anymore.
@@marciebulsaraorcutt obviously she doesn't know much about it. The Wembley stage was bespoke the venue and it was larger than the regular tour stages(2). Also more impressive than Freddie walking 50 meters up and down was Brian May's lead guitar cable, over 30m in length and a record to this day. It had a signal booster attached to make it work.
Queen was, until Freddie's death in 1991, Freddie Mercury-vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, Brian May-guitar, piano, Roger Taylor-drums, vocals and John Deacon-bass, piano, backing vocals. Each member has written a number one hit song. I never saw them in a stadium setting so I'm not sure how the sound played out way in the back. That said I've seen them twice in an indoor arena and this song as Freddie sings "Now I'm Here, Now I'm There" in echoed all around the arena, front to back.
"go Johnnie go" was never addressed to John Deacon. People with no knowledge about music believed it was addressed to him but it was actually a Chuck Berry reference.
Yes, we know it’s a Chuck Berry song..”Johnny B. Goode”...and it was addressed to John....how unkind you are, saying “people with no knowledge of music”...be alert....your country needs lerts 😉
To get an idea of how hard they worked to produce their songs, check out the short documentary "the making of One Vision" showing the members of the band getting the music perfected and debating over the wording of the song. Many hours of work went into each song and performance that we can hear or see on stage.
Freddie running the stage- up and down the steps- and still- the awesome vocals- Queen my favorite band for 45 years now! Freddie Mercury- lead singer Brian May- lead guitarist Roger Taylor- drums John Deacon- bass guitarist
I am really glad that your enjoying Queen's music and Freddie's vocals. Freddie is one of a kind. Thanks for the great reaction to this song. You should check out Under Pressure Live th-cam.com/video/OVzvoPP6M50/w-d-xo.html You will love the introduction on how reacts with the crowd. Pretty amazing. Another One Bites the Dust live in th-cam.com/video/HnCgN4knr0Y/w-d-xo.html is another great one. Somebody to Love Live in Montreal th-cam.com/video/aA2IRoPFIn0/w-d-xo.html is amazing. Again thanks for your reaction and love your new single,
Sean, Wembley Stadium (UK) upwards of 80,000 people and Queen filled it on 2 consecutive nights and book Knebworth for the 3rd night (estimates of 100,00+ audience). Last concerts for Freddie with Queen. 'Now I'm Here' was penned by Brian May (lead guitar) consequent of being taken off stage in the States during Queen's run as the opening act for Mott the Hopple in the early 70s. Brian contracted hepatitis from a dirty needle that was used for travel-related illnesses inoculation. Worse than almost losing his arm was the hepatitis curing medications--Brian developed ulcers that eroded his stomach. Brian's profound concern about being replaced, the other band members vowed they would not continue recording and producing until Brian was healthy enough to return. Quite a tight-knit group, don't you think?! Sean, thank you for your reation--I'm looking forward to more! PS: Love your new recording!
Freddie’s range was almost of a piano which is 5 Freddie’s was a 4 and his throat worked 3 times faster then humans . There was a scientific study done by several Scientists 💕
Queen is a British rock band founded in 1970 whose lineup since 1971 consists of: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocalist and piano John Deacon - Bass guitar Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals Brian May - Lead g.uitar and vocals "Now I'm Here" was written by Brian May following Queen's first tour of America. The British rock band, Mott the Hoople, asked Queen to join them on their America tour (Queen had toured with Hoople previously in Europe). The song references Hoople in the line "Down in the city, just Hoople and me". I love the metaphoric representation of stage performing in the phrases: A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky Where the beams of your love-light chase Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain With the rain running down my face You should compare this performance in 1986 in front of 72,000+ to their earlier performance of "Now I'm Here" at the concert titled "A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith" broadcast on the BBC, December 24, 1975. th-cam.com/video/uvOuRt_BiRI/w-d-xo.html
This song was written by Brian and is about their first tour as a band where they were supporting Mott The Hoople as their opening band. It was a long tour that included the USA and the band learned so much about performing in large venues and about touring in general. I love this song it has such a great vibe and the guitars really hold it all together. Roger is solid on the drums and of course Freddie just kills the vocals. Thank you. Go Johnny Go was said to Bassist John Deacon but also a nod to Chuck Berry who was a ground breaker in rock n roll and his song Johnny B Goode where the chorus is go, go Johnny go go, Johnny B. Goode.
@@RoverWaters Right, and when Roger sings 'ready Freddie" in Crazy Little Thing, that has nothing to do with Freddie, either. Freddie walked over toward John so even with it being in the song, I think it was intentionally pointed at John on this occasion but since Fred is no longer with us, we will never know for sure.
@@RoverWaters You are free to have your opinion and I shall have my own. I do get the nod to Chuck Berry but in this performance, I believe it appears that Freddie is making a nod to his buddy Deacon as well. Your opinion is not debatable to you and my opinion is not debatable to me. Enjoy your weekend.
One of the greatest live show ever existed at all my friend for me freddie is the best showman ever existed his voice is outstanding and all the band of course but frieddie is the king of queen great reaction 👍
I just subscribed keep doing Queen you won't regret it ! I get goosebumps everytime I hear this tune ! I seen them in the seventies in Toledo, Ohio I swear the best stage show every I seen with lights an their energy an there voices 🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑💯🌹🍀☮️😘🥰😍🎵🎶🌞🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐☮️
Yes John Deacon Bassist and writer, along with Roger Taylor and Dr Brian May they all wrote the songs and they didn't want anything sounding the same as the albums, they put on a show, and nothing stops until Freddie equal too the rest of the group put his arms down, they did everything by eye and chatting on stage, but because Freddie was the lead singer he'd give them the signal of, take it longer, shorter, or we might cut the next song, and the group is still very much alive and kicking, but two of the members are working John Deacon is no longer seen in public
Lemme request some more interesting songs by them: The March of the Black Queen (no live version exists), White Queen (LIVE AT ODEON HAMMERSMITH IN 1975), Don't Stop Me Now (studio version), The Show Must Go On (no live version exists since Freddie was too sick to do live shows)... enjoy :)
This exact video is the first time I saw a drummer and said, “I want to do that!” That “eat, breathe and sleep music” comment you made. THAT is why I get absolutely livid at people who say Roger and Brian should have stopped playing Queen songs and performing as Queen when Freddie died. They have plenty of money, they have no greed behind the reason to keep playing. It is their LIFE. It’s their passion. Roger has said for decades, he misses performing when they are between tours. Or not creating music in the studio. He lives for the energy of a live crowd. And Queen’s music is their legacy as much as it was Freddie’s.
This song is fucking awesome! Proto-thrash right here... Check out Princes of the Universe, Stone Cold Crazy, Brighton Rock, Ogre Battle, Dead On Time, Son and Daughter, Jesus, Sheer Heart Attack, Too Late, The Prophet's Song...
You should watch the multicam on Roger Taylor during this. The pain on his face at the end! Lactic acidosis buildup in his arms must have been agony, but he kept going 100%. ❤❤
I think this performance is amazing, but I really like the studio version of this song because they do so much with effects (such as echos & panning the sound) that aren't as apparent in a concert setting. Some more to consider: Liar Rainbow '74 (Pay close attention to John Deacon's bass line.) White Queen Hammersmith Odeon '75 Brighton Rock Hammersmith Odeon '75 Black Queen lyric video (Bo Rhap before there was a Bo Rhap)
I know I’m supposed to love Queen. Freddie was a great vocalist and Brian is an academic genius, but I’m usually underwhelmed by the band. But that’s just me. Their Live Aid performance was good though
Queen’s enduring popularity is not at all based on whether it’s a cool thing. Nor is it due to mob mentality….especially now, given that Queen has been creating fans of their music for 50 years, and counting. I have been a Queen fan since they started out in the early ‘70’s, so, for me, it’s not a matter of what is trendy and it’s not because of what other people like. But this is why places offer dozens of ice cream flavors - so that there’s something for everyone. You do you, friend.

Early works WHITE QUEEN live at Hammersmith is awesome....
Yes! White Queen will blow you away with Freddie's piano skills. Of course his vocals are superb, and Brian's guitar weeps!!!!
I love how Freddie supported the showcasing of all the band.

Yeah - definitely one of their best performances ever. This track is awesome.
@Lordlittlecat 🤣🤣 Actually, it feels like that, too! 😳
The perfect band who all were incredible musicians and were led by the ultimate singer and showman Freddie 😢. Miss going to their concerts.
Check out ONE VISION live at Wembley and their medley IN THE LAP OF THE GODS/SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE/TEAR IT UP, live at Wembley
"Go Johnny Go" was the tip of the hat to the rockfather Chuck Berry and his song Johnny Be Goode ...
The same part of the song is my favorite as well... Freddie liked to surprise the audience.

Thanks, Sean - this is a Brian May song.. he and Roger were the "rockers"... I love how Freddie & Brian are just running around.. lol...
Freddie is in great shape to be able to run across that stage without getting winded😍
"go Johnnie go" was never addressed to John Deacon.
