They were really on that steam locomotive going between 30 and 60 miles an hour. The slow part at the beginning of the song was a verse from another song that Freddie wanted to use because he liked it. The woman in the video was Roger’s girlfriend Debbie Leng. At this time Brian was going through terrible depression because of the public scrutiny over his marriage breaking up, his relationship with his wife now and feeling like a failure over all of it. Being outside for a few days filming this did wonders for him. Freddie was worried about Brian and when he sings, “your smile speaks books to me” you can see it means something to Brian. They were all brothers and never closer during this time. Only appropriate that Roger, the drummer is wearing the conductor hat. Love the video and the song. A Synth Bass was used on this track as well.
This is such a great video and the fact that it is filmed on a real moving train is so cool. The drummer is the conductor of the band so it is fitting that Roger is wearing a conductor's hat. How is he doing all that drumming, sitting on a drummer's stool while on a moving train? Brian's hair blowing in the wind is absolutely sooooo Rock Star. John really seems to be loving the whole train idea and of course Freddie is as always, exceptional and larger than life. I love the song but the video really takes it over the top for me. One of the guys suggested that they do this video on a train and they finally found a train that they could rent and paint for the video. This is an actual track of an old train route that they were able to use for the video. According to Brian, that train was really going that fast. He said it felt pretty dangerous. People keep it together on skateboards and snowboards so I guess it was just a matter of getting used to the rhythm of the rail. Thanks for your reactions.
Always enjoy your reactions to Queen …… Have you ever reacted to “One Year of Love” it’s a beautiful love song wrote by John Deacon for the Highlander movie…..and Freddie’s vocals are breathtaking. Please ….and thank you 😊.
You really need to react to Headlong, Somebody to Love live at Montreal (much different than the studio version) and White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Their live performances can’t be beat.
Secondary school flashback!😁(high school for you Americans). I remember swapping around 'tapes' with my friends around this time, and The Miracle was one of them....great post, keep 'em coming
I remember Brian May say that they were not anchored down and relied upon the fact that the train would not come to a sudden stop. Please react to time waits for nobody.❤
Hiya Boring Reviews, the Wham song you were talking about was Last Christmas, rather than This Christmas, remember Queen didn't have a big selling song in America, after I want to break free, Breakthru isn't a bad song, this is Choppy
It was a bass. They couldn't go through a brick wall come on British rail would not of allowed that. Freddie with the beard is a sign he was already Sick. Is Wham or queen reaction????. I wish you could do a lot better. To be honest the worst reactions on TH-cam,see you are best at something

Of course, if this was filmed today they'd be wearing harnesses and hard hats.
Filmed on the nene railway i think . Pity this song doesn't get more air time its a brilliant song .
Isn't it an old song
Indeed. Filmed on the Nene Valley Railway, about a mile or so from where I live. It was also used in a couple of James Bond films

Queen have all genre songs . They are all geniuses.
these were the pop-rock years of Queen. Friendly songs for mainstream radio stations across Europe
Great reaction! 😊👑

Have you reacted to Tim Minchin yet? I'd love to see Gabes reaction
They were going to use real bricks but they realised everyone would be killed and that it was a stupid idea.
I electrocuted myself trying to fix my fan and watch this.😊
On a loop? In 1980? :)
Not sure if I like Jodie more with the baseball hat or without 🤔
Haha imagine todays artists actually performing on a train. The whole thing would be CGI and they be snug and warm. 😅
It's a video it's not done in one take
It was a bass. They couldn't go through a brick wall come on British rail would not of allowed that. Freddie with the beard is a sign he was already Sick. Is Wham or queen reaction????.
I wish you could do a lot better. To be honest the worst reactions on TH-cam,see you are best at something
