Unsurpassable! Freddie's fist-smash on the piano at the end was better than any attempt I ever made to play - total love, and yet so very barely has the magic of Queen been scratched.
@@nostalgia815 cold beer for your vocal cords.... while in concert ... also fizzy drink while you sing....... whatever you sa man......hahahahaahhahaha
@@nostalgia815 thats the thing I did and even Brian May said it was not beer . He has a channel where he repeated that It was warm water and honney to keep his vc clean.....
I was crying like a baby ,the crowd was so exited ! The sound was loud but Freddie was a real master ...and what an ambiance we had ,it was surreal !!! the best time of my life !! :-) I felt so, so blessed !!!
Freddie's voice is amazing,but Brian,John, Roger,have amazing voices as well,they all work so well together that they enhance each other's voice,without you even noticing .
Queen is Legendary and always will be. Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Musicians are not like that today. Pure natural talent. ❤️🔥
Freddie Mercury is the best male vocal frontman in Rock of all time!! This band is incredible and legendary and three of their musicians could all have easily been lead singers.. the bass player would sing sometime but he was better known for his awesome bass skills and writing Another One Bites the Dust and several other good Queen songs.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not pausing it a million times or yapping through the song. You actually absorbed the performance and had smart things to say
Watching Marc's face was the best. Stumbling on these 'appreciating Queen' videos warms my heart. Inevitably with one song, they earn a new fan. They were/are that good.
He is the Rock god of all time. His music is universal. The music will continue to be on top. The guitarist Brian May made that guitar out of parts that he and his dad could find. He still plays it today our tour with Adam Lambert.
Fun fact: Superman wears a Freddie Mercury tank top. Freddie was a great fan and admirer of Aretha Franklin and it shows in this performance. It's like he's testifying in church. Some Queen I recommend beyond Bohemian Rhapsody: Liar, Death on Two Legs, Flick of the Wrist, Tear It Up, Spread Your Wings, We Will Rock You (seriously, Adam Lambert?), Play The Game, White Queen @ Hammersmith '75, Flash, I Want It All, I Want to Break Free, Under Pressure @ Wembley '86, Jailhouse Rock and Another One Bites The Dust, both from this concert, The Show Must Go On and No One But You (Only The Good Die Young).
Now THIS is how you react. Thank you for not constantly interrupting! You were totally into it and it's so fun to watch this again for the first time through your eyes! Keep checking out Queen, you will be amazed and I'm sure you will come across songs that you have heard before that you didn't know were theirs. And also the movie that just came out that is an Oscar contender, "Bohemian Rhapsody" about the band and about Freddie. Good job!
You're facial expressions are priceless. Like so many young people that watch Freddie for the first time you said this guy has a good voice at the start of the video. That cracks me up. You became more and more amazed as the song went on and you could hear what an amazing instrument Freddie's voice was. In fact, look up greatest voices of all time (not specifically rock) just all and he is ranked at or near the top in any ranking you'll find. Rock on man.
You were mesmerised from start to finish. That's the Freddie effect in action. The band are so tight - four musical geniuses at the absolute top of their game!
After all these years I'm still amazed how they made all that beautiful noise with just the 4 of them without any electronic gadgets :D It's magic! Thanks for the reaction, greetings from Holland
i was there in 1981 i was 19 years old at the time and the atmoshere was magical and the crowd was exctatic ! I 'll remember this event all my life ! Freddie Mercury was at his best ! Thanks to bring me memories of the best moments of my life ,Marc !!! :-) xxx
@@barbarasaracini1271 That's what insane but what a memorized moments i had back then , to witness such a stunning performance ! Indeed ,an amazing journey !!! :-)
@@wildpike1880 I was more than lucky , i felt blessed ,that's the only word to described the feeling i had at the time !!!! Freddie Mercury was a beast on this show ! I'll never forgot ,ever !!!! :-)
Awesome reaction. These guys still stand up today because they sound just as good or even better live alongside their studio recordings cause of their pure talent and even now their works are a breath of fresh air. regardless Queen's music is so diverse, timeless and put the "rage" in outrageous! have fun!
Any Queen Live is worth your time and reaction. You will never be disappointed whether it's hard rock, mock opera or everything in between. And we, the Queen Faithful, will follow you religiously through your journey!!
People that can play the drums and sing well, always blow my mind. It just strikes my brain as odd for some reason (not that it is). Plus, did you see the angle of his microphone? How would you like to hold your head at that angle while playing the drums for about 2-3 hours? That would suck. Yet, he was still able to sing. Pros, man...
@@MarcMcMillon - I never found it hard to play drums and sing but find it impossible to play guitar or bass and sing. I always end up copying whatever I'm playing on guitar instead of the melody or harmony.
not just a singer with an incredible voice, great piano playing. I think it's a perfect triple play with his masterful stage presence. The singing drummer , in the top 4 in my book.
Little fun fact about freddie and your comment about being a rockstar. Before freddie teamed up with roger and Brian (drummer, guitar) he use to tell everyone he was going to be a rockstar someday. In the documentary I saw about queen, an old acquaintance of Freddie's said that one day he ran into freddie looking all sad. So he asks freddie what's wrong. Freddie's head was hanging low and he said "I'm not going to be a rockstar someday". Before the other guy could console him he said freddie sat up straight and lifted his head and said "I'm not going to be a rockstar. I'm going to be a legend!!!!" 😎😂 Bohemian rhapsody Montreal live is amazing like the others said on here. I think "death on 2 legs" lyric video is epic and worth checking out. Not the live one. One with lyrics. They wrote and dedicated the song to their asshole manager they had fired. He was hoarding the money queen was bringing in. They were raking in the cash and only getting a small stipend. They didnt hold back exactly how they felt about the manager at all in it. I almost felt sorry for the guy. Almost. Lol. Brutal. 😂🤣
Dude you were awe struck! But who isn't watching this!!! Incredible talent all around; Freddie and Roger killing the vocals and as you said the energy is incredible. If you want to see some sexy, funky Queen, check out Dragon Attack from the same concert (Montreal '81). You will see masters of the stage and crowd totally in sync with one another and a kick ass funky beat. Enjoy your discovery of Queen - when you think you know their sound - you find something new and totally different.
Honestly! Brian is also a god singer. I´ll guess one of the great strenght in the group is the harmonisining voices. Start to feel like the last survivors from world war ll. Saw them live two times in Sweden.
I INJOY Your intro,very nice..but your face when you hear Freddie, unbelievable, that look through the whole thing was a great reaction..keep up with Queen, nothen better😍😀😀😀😀watch this every time I catch it😀😀😀
Freddie Mercury is a legend, that left this world way too soon. Not many have a voice like that.. he could hit 4 octaves. By the way, I wanted to keep listening to you singing lol.
Hi Marc, I've been a Queen fan for over 35 years. I love watching reactions videos from people that are not familiar with the band. Seeing how you reacted to Freddy's voice was priceless. The vast majority of the music industry know he is the greatest frontman ever. You are going to be blown away by the number of classic hit songs that the band put out. Many of which you probably have known your whole life and never knew it was Queen .
great to see & hear you discover QUEEN. Greatest frontman ever! Great talent, showmanship & incomparable voice! Freddie Mercury is a once in a lifetime pure talent! See, watch their other live concerts, especially his power ballads & the Live Aid performance which set the bar for other bands.Enjoy.
If you love rock and Queen you must react to their legendary 1985 Live Aid performance. You will recognize just some of their big hits in there, as they have too many to count, but they managed to squeeze in as many as they could in their 20 minute set. BTW, love your voice. :)
It's taken me 40 years to fully appreciate that Queen as we love them couldn't exist without the incredible talents of ALL FOUR of these men. Roger owned this one.
Brian May,the lead guitarist,would never trash his Red Special. That guitar was handcrafted by he and his Dad over two years when he had time off from going to college. Recently named the best guitarist,he is also an astrophysicist. All props to the rest as well,Freddie,Roger & Deaky (John Deacon,bass player).
BTW Freddie didn't drink alcohol during performances. He drank tea with honey to keep his throat hydrated & soothed. He said alcohol was drying & he would never risk offending his audience with a burp or belch from beer.
I love how Freddie went from tearing up the stage 😂 to casually sipping a beer to rocking the piano with out even losing his momentum.... Lol 😂 that is amazing... If you haven't already might I suggest you react to the live aid concert 1985 and bohemian rhapsody the actual video....... I promise you will not be disappointed 😉...
"This dude can sing"
- everyone in the world after hearing Freddie for the first time, 3 seconds in.
😄😄😄
right? lol
Maybe the understatement of the century
This dude is the best vocalist in rock and roll history
funny that Roger Taylor has a better voice than many frontmen in rock
Not for the other frontmen
Love the way Freddie says very casually "ok, let's do it!"
And also he only has to sing one word for everyone to excitedly await what they know is coming next!
I also love that little smirk he gives before that first belt.
I don't care how old this is- it's a masterpiece and a great example of how much different music was in the 80s
Freddie's voice was incredible, especially live.
That expression on EVERYONE face when they hear Freddie hit that high note for the first time
I'm glad that somebody at long last appreciates just how good a drummer Roger Taylor is!
George Davie Ditto! The fact that he sings so brilliantly at the same time is mind blowing! How many drummers can do that?!?!
Freddie is truly amazing but I don’t think that most people appreciate how great and multitalented Brian & Roger are.
Love Roger!
He sings good too
yeah, i've seen many reactions and nobody recgonize that
Unsurpassable! Freddie's fist-smash on the piano at the end was better than any attempt I ever made to play - total love, and yet so very barely has the magic of Queen been scratched.
Roger the drummer has that signature opening of the hi-hat when he hits the snare, and great ability to sing and drum at the same time effortlessly.
Roger so good
Not beer on the piano - warm water with honey for his voice - musicians know what i'm talking about.
its beer. times were a lot different then
@@nostalgia815 cold beer for your vocal cords.... while in concert ... also fizzy drink while you sing....... whatever you sa man......hahahahaahhahaha
@@adrian2b maybe watch a documentary on them moron

Queen and Freddie. easily the very best band and performer. Just pure genius that everyone needs in their world
I love how when watching this particular video leaves most people speechless! Arguably the best live performance of any genre..
Doesn't get much better than Freddie ,greatest front man EVER.
Queen is Legendary and always will be. Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Musicians are not like that today. Pure natural talent. ❤️🔥
👍👍👍👍Miss you Freddie. He's stage presence ☺☺and amazing vocals, no words for it...
Congrats! You just saw and heard the most gorgeous and PERFECT performation live! This man is a MASTERPIECE!!
So true
Hard to believe, isn't it? A truly excellent song by an excellent singer and band!
The greatest voice to ever sing rock.
His best ever rendition..🎵🎶💞🎵🎶💞

Death on Two Legs is an underrated song
This comment is freaking great. Should have gotten waaaay more likes...lolol
Thanks for the list. I savec!
Vocally on his peak here. Definitely.
Geezus. I can’t believe how hard it must be to dance around, song and play an instrument. Crazy

Did you know he was in to opera and even got to perform in one! That guy was really talented. You knew it was queen when you heard them.
I’m exhausted listening ,what a performance,unbelievably good ,the whole band legends !!!
Queen in a league of it's own!
Dang, I got chills AGAIN listening to Freddie.
Freddie was so captivating. I miss him ! This video shows how good they really were I am happy you see it
he so good
You were mesmerised from start to finish. That's the Freddie effect in action. The band are so tight - four musical geniuses at the absolute top of their game!
You weren’t expecting this Marc McMillon, huh? Welcome to Queen & the genius that was Freddy
10 yrs. later you are singing i heaven R.I.P. Freddie greatest front man and voice ever.
🙌🏾
You just witnessed GREATNESS!!! Enjoy the ride...
Try Queen live at Hyde Park singing You take my breath away. Freddie has the voice of an angel!
After all these years I'm still amazed how they made all that beautiful noise with just the 4 of them without any electronic gadgets :D It's magic! Thanks for the reaction, greetings from Holland
The lead guitar player and his dad made that guitar when he was a teenager he still uses it.
He can sing!
He is a Legend

hold your head to certain angle can help to transfer your voice from your throat more efficiently
@@MarcMcMillon - I never found it hard to play drums and sing but find it impossible to play guitar or bass and sing. I always end up copying whatever I'm playing on guitar instead of the melody or harmony.
"Save Me" from this concert was also amazing. Amazing show overall

Love Freddie Wish I could've seen Queen live with Freddie He was electric💟
Wow! That note by the drummer, he can really sing too!
His name is Roger Taylor
This live performance shows how critical Roger Taylor was to both rhythm and supporting vocals 🙏🏼

Still one of my favorite go to videos! Whole thing has all I need to relax,, thank you for the intro and cool reaction 😀😀😀 Patricia
Queen is goated loved them since I was little
