One of THE greatest songs ever written, performed by one of THE greatest bands ever formed, sung by surely THE greatest singer ever! Love your reaction Freeburg!
Damn im in pain, when i heard Queen i say uff this is the best rock band ever ! Then i pass to LZ and i say damn thats the best rock band ever ! Theeeeen i pass to Pink Floyd and i say good that the best band ever
Damn im in pain, when i heard Queen i say uff this is the best rock band ever ! Then i pass to LZ and i say damn thats the best rock band ever ! Theeeeen i pass to Pink Floyd and i say good that the best band ever...
I heard that this song was multiple songs Freddie was working on and decided to put them all together which would explain the complete changes in the song, but idk if thats true or not.
Pitch correction has been around since 1979....I had one in my PA rack. Was in my first band back in 1969. I can guarantee that pitch correction was used in the production of this album.
@@BlazinRiver1 Hmmm... So, Bohemian Rhopsody was first released on Queen's A Night at the Opera album. And ... that album was released in 1975, so obviously Freddie and Co. had a time machine and used it to time-travel to 1979 to record (or maybe even 30 years from now?) and then time-travel back to 1975 with a really good sounding vocal recording on this track. YEAH!!! That's how they did it!! It wasn't talent, honed practice and diligent effort. NO WAY!!! "Guaranteed PITCH CORRECTION!!!" LMAO
@@thomassicard3733 = Eventide, a well-known manufacturer of effects units, made its mark with the Harmonizer H910, the world’s first digital effects unit, which it introduced in 1975. The H910 was an early type of pitch correction device, and while it was a far cry from the Auto-Tune plug-in, it allowed users to make modest pitch corrections, but by today’s standards, its pitch corrections capabilities were extremely limited. There is a strong likelyhood the Eventide H910 would have been available to Queen for their recording sessions, as Bohemian Rhopsody was recorded at 5 studios... and Queen was using state of the art equipment and leading edge producers and engineers.... So YES... pitch correction existed in 1975... _when Bohemian Rhopsody was recorded._ ... no one knows if it was used....
Freddy was simply that good, he had nearly perfect pitch. A near 5 octave range and he had sub-harmonics in his vibrato, He was more than just blessed with one of if not the most awesome voice of all time.
John Deacon, the Bass Guitarist, (not a player, he's more skilled than most people 'playing') that everyone seems to casually dismiss or forget, arguably wrote one of the Greatest Songs of their career. Another One Bites the Dust from The Game. John Deacon is a God.
Despite the rest of the movie being complete rather-enjoyable drivel... the "crusing in the Pacer listening to Queen" scene was the definition of "epic".
I love watching people react to Bohemian Rhapsody. When my daughter was 12 she came running in the door after school, was so excited to share a “new band, new song” she heard at school. She set up the speakers for full affect and on came Queen. She cried when I told her it was 50 years old and that Freddie was dead. I felt horrible for bringing her down. Great video!
"He *DID* that!" Yes he did, young lady. Yes. He. Did. And he, and THEY, did it live... maybe ten thousand times, never once with autotune, to entertain us all and let his soul soar. Welcome to a larger, more open, *better* musical world.
From 6:34 to 7:39 was never performed live. It was a tape, this was the part of the show were Freddy did a costume change. everybody left the stage.(Explosion) (Return to stage) So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
Pitch control was already in use by 1979 when DAW first came out. I had a pitch correction in my sound rack in the early 80s. Been playing music since 1971 when I joined my first band.
THE MOST POWERFUL SONG EVER WRITTEN................. PLAYED BY THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER............... SUNG BY THE GREATEST SINGER AND FRONTMAN EVER.............PERIOD!
As you mentioned Greenday you should let her watch the Greenday concert in London where they were playing Bohemian Rhapsody during setup and they whole huge crowd gave a stellar performance of the entire song. 65000 voices singing the entire song perfectly in tune and totally brilliantly.
This takes me back to 1975 when I heard or rather experienced this for the first time as an awestruck 15 year old. Even my mother was knocked out by it.😁
Forty-five years old for this song and the video and music still have the ability to amaze. Queen was a stunning combination of musicianship and showmanship.
Love her reaction! For me as a 45 year long Queen fan, this is what Queen was and still is about; to let people experience music ❤ Freddie would have adored her reaction and I bet if he was still alive he would be all over YT to watch people's reactions to his music😆
Your daughter is just precious.....your interaction: priceless & heartwarming! She's heard more Queen than she realizes, I'm sure....We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions played at sporting events, etc...kids know those but don't know they are Queen,
To be fair to the guy, music reactors have to pause the songs a number of times to avoid copyright issues. And finding suitable points to pause in this classic is rather challenging.
Yes, that was stopping at the "climax"...it takes the edge off the 1st listener's experience; otherwise, it was good to see someone appreciate TRUE "classic rock" 1970s vintage!'🌟🤘🏻😎
I loved watching her reaction you can't fake that! It reminds me of my granddaughters reaction. Freddie Mercury would be thrilled to see what is now the third generation of teenagers growing up with a love for Queen. Wayne's World brought this song back for the second generation and Bohemian Rhapsody the film for this one. Keeping their music just as current as it was wayyyyy back in the 70s. Insuring Freddie Mercury lives on forever and one day 👑
I just loved this reaction, the shock of your daughter, with you playing the slightly wicked yet proud father who opened her eyes and ears to a new life experience. In fairness, we should say that most people on Planet Earth were shocked the first time that they heard this. Korean rapper Psy said "it took him about six months" to process and come to terms with this song. Winston Churchill said (of history) "the further back I look, the further forward I can see". The same can be said of music, as your daughter is just beginning to find out. We all want to see more of this journey, please!
I've spoken to a lot of people in my age group who have seen queen live their opinion is near universal, queen are the best band live they've ever seen!!
Seeing Queen live is a life changing experience, fortunate to see Queen several times live, but their Rock in Rio in 1985 with around 300,000 people was just an amazing experience.
One of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
What an incredibly touching moment you captured in this video! Seeing your daughter experience Queen for the first time and witnessing your emotional reaction is truly heartwarming. These are the kind of memories that will last a lifetime. Keep sharing these precious moments with her, and thank you for letting us be a part of it. #FatherDaughterMoments #QueenMusic
Dad, I love that you are educating your daughter. And her reactions are priceless. No auto tune? Oh yeah, that's how we grew up....real voice, nothing fake. Love stumbling on this video. Making me smile! Was fortunate to meet Freddie after one of his shows. A memory I cherish forever. One of my all time fave groups. And I could listen to this song daily for the rest of my life!!!
I will never get tired of Freddie Mercury’s voice. I think he was the greatest singer of his generation, and probably of the current generation too. His songs and performances give me shivers and make me cry no matter how often I experience them.
rip Freddie. Best showman. Incredible band. There will never be another combination like the original Queen. Perfection. You should show her live in Montreal Queen playing Somebody to Love.
8:16 "Those things I have that are kind of square and have holes in them" - You mean cassettes??!! 😂😂 I loved you explaining tapes to your daughter! That was epic!
How lucky to capture such a meaningful intereaction, something you'll both be able to rewatch years from now. It was really heartening to see your daughter's enthusiasm towards the end especially the playful tone she took about wanting to watch Bohemian Rhapsody with you. I think it's great to see a dad who has done well raising his daughter and as a direct consequence is able to have nice moments like these. It's definitely worth highlighting. (P.S. I have a good dad too, I just know parents get a lot less credit than they used to)
I absolutely love Brian’s playing towards the end…when it slows down again…after the “Ooh yeahs” before Freddie starts singing the ending. His guitar sounds so sweet. I still get goosebumps when hearing that part ❤
BTW: There's about 147 dubs in this entire song. It's just frigging amazing. How Freddie wrote this masterpiece & had it meld together is truly ASTOUNDING!!!
I love the documentary when Queen discuss Freddie coming into the Recording studio, and after describing the concept, just said. "Darlings, this is where the Operatic bit comes in". And the others just went.. "oh OK". 😂
I have never listened to the pentatonix or home free version of this, i just cant do it because this is so good. I never want to hear anyone other than Freddie Mercury singing this one.
As far as I know, the remaining members of Queen have only officially endorsed two covers of this song; Pentatonix and Angelina Jordan. You can love Queen always, but you're doing yourself a disfavor by ignoring the others.
@@RossWrock I've been a fan of Queen from BEFORE they were famous. It's great seeing young folk "discover" them. I've heard the Pentatonix and Home Free versions, and they were good, but.... the version by Forestella is phenomenal. I'm sure Freddie would love their version as it incorporates his love of Rock and Opera perfectly. Don't worry, they don't move too far from this.
Hmm. I'm not aware of a Home Free cover of this... But anyway, the Pentatonix one is a MUST view. I think you will find it to be almost as good as this one.
HUGE Queen fan since I bought my first album ever, 'Night at the Opera", back in the 70's while in Junior High. With that said, John Deacon, the bass player, is the only one not singing even though he is lip syncing the words. The lead guitarist, Brain May, and the drummer, Roger Taylor also sing a lot in this song. So glad you are introducing your daughter to real, quality music. Way to go!!
Aww - to the power 10! 🥰 I had tears in my eyes 😢 I was a UK primary (elementary) school child (8yo) when this came out. I remember watching it on TV ("Top of the Pops " UK) with my Dad (Mum doesn't like rock music!), eyes like saucers and my jaw dropping open. When it finished, I just sat in silence utterly shocked. My Dad said "Did you like that, my little goldfish?" and I nodded as hard as I could! Fast forward to early 2000's and I remember my son as a 7yo watching the same video and the only thing he said throughout the song (at regular intervals) was "Wow!". I cried when he watched it as it was so amazing to see the joy of such incredible music through his eyes. Thank you for sharing this, both of you ❤ Jo x
You should show her Queen at Live Aid! Queen was in a slump on the charts, but this performance put them back on top, as Freddie Mercury (who was starting to feel his sickness) ABSOLUTELY OWNED the crowd! Even other musicians knew it was the best performance of the event! In fact, afterward, Elton John waited outside Freddie's trailer and when Freddie came out, Elton yelled at him; "You bastard!" and started laughing. Everybody knew that he stole the show and put Queen back on the map and the sales after that reflected it! Make sure to find the full show though (over 20 minutes long).
I showed my kids all the good music and when it came time to chose a buddy for my two tickets to Black Sabbath, I chose my daughter. When Ozzy started with War Pigs, I looked over to my girl and she was swinging her hair with her head banging and I had such tears in my eyes..... child raised right and respected!!
According to Brian May, Mike Meyers wanted the band's approval to use Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World. They pulled togetrher a rough cut of the scene in the car, and sent it to May for approval. When Brian got it, like weeks before Freddie died, he took it over so they could watch it together. Freddie laughed himself sick, talking about how they would stop and dance in their seats when a good song came on the radio when they were all touring in their little van. And thus, permission was given.
I absolutely love to see a younger person discover older music. And to hear her say thats going on her play list was the cherry on top. I was born in 68 and the 70s had the best music if the younger gens would just give it a chance ❤
I'm 31 and cannot stand music nowadays. It's garbage. I'm always listening to queen, Eric clapton, pink floyd, led zeppelin and guns and roses. When musicians where talented, and didn't use this sympathiser crap.
I believe this is the only song to make it to #1 three times in the UK. The first time was in 75, the second time was in 91 after Freddy died. The third time (not sure about this) was as a charity single for Red Nose Day...
Freeburg it was a pleasure to watch your reactions to one of the greatest songs ever written, as a teenager I grew up with the song and it is my all time favourite. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest singer to have ever lived.
All the time the video of Queen is going on I'm just loving how you're looking at your baby girls reaction to the video of Queens bohemian rhapsody to me that is more classic than the song could ever be!
A fantastic reaction video! Gives me hope that the younger generation will get to appreciate and enjoy the best music ever rather than modern rubbish! Thank you❤
Hate these comparisons no one is better than the original by Queen, not only was Freddie an amazing vocalist and frontman, the hole band gelled so well together, they were amazing talented musicians, Penatonix do they play instruments???????
Freddie was working on three songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. Nothing like it before or since. After his death, his mother, Jerr, said she enjoyed this song but it made her too sad to there the "Mamaaa" parts.
Sorry, but Freddie was following a long musical tradition of combining musical styles into a rhapsody. Hence the name of the song, the Bohemian part comes from a different source.
@@davidkeenan5642 When Freddie Mercury was a student at Ealing Art College in the late ‘60s, he wrote down some ideas for a song on scraps of paper; his friend, Chris Smith, has stated that Mercury played parts of songs he was writing. One of those pieces was known as “The Cowboy Song,” and it had lyrics that found their way into “Bohemian Rhapsody,” specifically the line “Mama…just killed a man.” In the 1970s, he shared the bits and pieces with his bandmates, drumming on the piano keys and explaining what he would insert into the gaps. He told his bandmates that he thought he had enough for three songs but was considering combining it all to create a single long song. And that is what he did, creating a six-minute suite which is divided into several sections, including a ballad segment, a hard rock portion, an operatic passage, and the final, dark coda.
That was absolutely _delightful_ to watch!! I absolutely _adore_ watching the newer generations listen to and fall in love with Freddie and Queen. Gives me just a tiny taste of what it felt like for _me_ doing the same thing when I was little, dancing around the living room with my Dad to his Queen collection on full blast 🤩❤ And yeah, the fact they did it all without the benefits (or downsides, depending on your personal viewpoint) of auto-tune is just amazing! The things music producers had to do to get the effects you hear in older music just boggles the mind. Especially towards the mid-to-late 70s and into the 80s. Their experimentation really did pave the way for the generations today to enjoy some pretty spectacular technical and musical effects on songs.
I love the reactions from her. This is what it's all about. Throw some Led Zeppelin, black sabbath, pink floyd, Deep Purple her way. I can't wait. Until next time stay well
Great reaction buddy ; ) 😀 Would love to see her reaction to Angelina Jordan's version on America got talent ....that is so good that Queen gave the rights to her version 😊
One of THE greatest songs ever written, performed by one of THE greatest bands ever formed, sung by surely THE greatest singer ever! Love your reaction Freeburg!
"Square thing with holes"...lol....I showed a tape to my 22 yrs old son, he did not understand what that was ... 😂😂😂
Crap! One of the worst bands ever formed.
Damn im in pain, when i heard Queen i say uff this is the best rock band ever ! Then i pass to LZ and i say damn thats the best rock band ever ! Theeeeen i pass to Pink Floyd and i say good that the best band ever

My 30 yr old daughter was brought up on this music. She absolutely loves it, and now is in the industry because of this!! Chook
I love her response to no autotune. Yep, no autotune, but our guys back then had something else, though: Talent.

The first with autotune was Cher with the song "Believe" from 1997. It's why I prefer songs from before 2000
It is not just Freddie. He needed Roger for the highest notes.
The intro part though was all Freddie. That's what he meant. The middle section was the three
@@-pld- The "choir" is Brian & Roger with Freddie, and a ton of overdubs.
Brian May adds his voice in the Harmony as well.
John Deacon, the Bass Guitarist, (not a player, he's more skilled than most people 'playing') that everyone seems to casually dismiss or forget, arguably wrote one of the Greatest Songs of their career. Another One Bites the Dust from The Game. John Deacon is a God.
@@-pld- not true! all of them are singing in the intro! that was freddies rule and was very important that they all did!
Nobody does it better than Freddie ❤
Of course, Queen is the best...the original!!!!!
Freddie Mercury.. an absolute legend!
When you started head banging!!!! Lol. And our old folks know all the words of the song. Awesome
Despite the rest of the movie being complete rather-enjoyable drivel... the "crusing in the Pacer listening to Queen" scene was the definition of "epic".
Seeing a newbee being introduced to the greatest band ever...priceless!
And we have a brand new Queen fan lol Her eyes said it all!
I love watching people react to Bohemian Rhapsody. When my daughter was 12 she came running in the door after school, was so excited to share a “new band, new song” she heard at school. She set up the speakers for full affect and on came Queen. She cried when I told her it was 50 years old and that Freddie was dead. I felt horrible for bringing her down. Great video!
Thank you so much!!! I love the excitement listening to the amazement of queen… experiencing it with my daughter was awesome
Fred isn't dead, he's still alive in his music
She needs to watch the movie now.
"He *DID* that!"
Yes he did, young lady. Yes. He. Did. And he, and THEY, did it live... maybe ten thousand times, never once with autotune, to entertain us all and let his soul soar.
Welcome to a larger, more open, *better* musical world.
From 6:34 to 7:39 was never performed live. It was a tape, this was the part of the show were Freddy did a costume change. everybody left the stage.(Explosion) (Return to stage) So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.

Great Job dad teaching the youngsters of past greatness is an honor! my 4 yr old is not yet knowing whats in store for her.
THE MOST POWERFUL SONG EVER WRITTEN................. PLAYED BY THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER............... SUNG BY THE GREATEST SINGER AND FRONTMAN EVER.............PERIOD!
A true LEGEND gone way too soon!
As you mentioned Greenday you should let her watch the Greenday concert in London where they were playing Bohemian Rhapsody during setup and they whole huge crowd gave a stellar performance of the entire song. 65000 voices singing the entire song perfectly in tune and totally brilliantly.

i was just thinking the same....
This takes me back to 1975 when I heard or rather experienced this for the first time as an awestruck 15 year old. Even my mother was knocked out by it.😁
No one can do better than Freddie Mercury 🥰
Forty-five years old for this song and the video and music still have the ability to amaze. Queen was a stunning combination of musicianship and showmanship.
47 years
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍
Remember when it came out in 76!! Fell in love with Queen from then!! A day hasn't gone by when I haven't played a Queen song!!! RIP Fred!!
Love her reaction! For me as a 45 year long Queen fan, this is what Queen was and still is about; to let people experience music ❤
Freddie would have adored her reaction and I bet if he was still alive he would be all over YT to watch people's reactions to his music😆
It's a serious part of parenting to introduce your children to excellent music. Well done dad!!!
Yup, that's what really talented people do, sing. With their own voices. And play their own instruments.
Really
Your daughter is just precious.....your interaction: priceless & heartwarming! She's heard more Queen than she realizes, I'm sure....We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions played at sporting events, etc...kids know those but don't know they are Queen,
It’s true. I was in college before I’d heard the name Queen and only then realized that I already knew a bunch of their songs! 😂
The way you are looking at your daughter is amazing.
no-one does it better than queen the original writers and performers of this
we couldn’t agree more
Next time you want to surprise someone with a Queen song, don’t stop the video cause you can’t take that surprise moment again!!!
I admit it was very annoying when he stopped to say something.
I was just watching and he stopped and ruined the epic moment at 7:38. What a joke.
To be fair to the guy, music reactors have to pause the songs a number of times to avoid copyright issues. And finding suitable points to pause in this classic is rather challenging.
@@zenarcher9633 Yes, but he stopped it at the worst time possible.
Yes, that was stopping at the "climax"...it takes the edge off the 1st listener's experience; otherwise, it was good to see someone appreciate TRUE "classic rock" 1970s vintage!'🌟🤘🏻😎
And the lead guitarist is currently a Professor of Astrophysics at Queens College.

First thing about listening to Bohemian Rhapsody,, never pause!! Bit I would like to be a fly on the wall when she shows this to all her friends

Only 11 when he left the planet...
I would adamantly agree! I saw them twice and the show, and I mean Show was incredible. It was a theatrical extravaganza with killer music.
Seeing Queen live is a life changing experience, fortunate to see Queen several times live, but their Rock in Rio in 1985 with around 300,000 people was just an amazing experience.
One of the greatest most talented singer, performer ever. Even in extreme pain, could barely walk or stand he carried on right to the end to be THE BEST ever. Gone too soon but what a legacy he left. Love you for ever R.I P Freddie
show her "somebody to love" live in montreal 1981 🙂
My daughter is three, I can’t wait to introduce her to my favourite bands. Queen is right up there. Great video!
Thanks!!! I'm sure she'll love Queen!!!
My son was 2 as he knows Queen and "Another one bytes the dust" :D now he is 4

The look at 5:22 now THAT's a proud father 🥲 Good on you sir for introducing her to great music.
It’s lovely to see a young lady loving ggggggreat music. I was born in the 50 s and love it.

A masterpiece i saw them in Montreal in the 70s. I will rest in peace.

Was lucky to see them live twice. The record company said it was too long , and couldn't be a success ! Queen knew better. Great reaction. Love it .
Mayes playing is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Its the solo ive always wanted to play.

They all sung 😁
But not at that part where Freddie layered only his voice
@@dianecourtney2724 True
I love how your daughter appreciates good music without a doubt she has a very good musical ear
I always love watching young people's faces when they discover stereo 😂😂😂
Aww - to the power 10! 🥰 I had tears in my eyes 😢 I was a UK primary (elementary) school child (8yo) when this came out. I remember watching it on TV ("Top of the Pops " UK) with my Dad (Mum doesn't like rock music!), eyes like saucers and my jaw dropping open. When it finished, I just sat in silence utterly shocked. My Dad said "Did you like that, my little goldfish?" and I nodded as hard as I could! Fast forward to early 2000's and I remember my son as a 7yo watching the same video and the only thing he said throughout the song (at regular intervals) was "Wow!". I cried when he watched it as it was so amazing to see the joy of such incredible music through his eyes. Thank you for sharing this, both of you ❤ Jo x
You should show her Queen at Live Aid! Queen was in a slump on the charts, but this performance put them back on top, as Freddie Mercury (who was starting to feel his sickness) ABSOLUTELY OWNED the crowd! Even other musicians knew it was the best performance of the event! In fact, afterward, Elton John waited outside Freddie's trailer and when Freddie came out, Elton yelled at him; "You bastard!" and started laughing. Everybody knew that he stole the show and put Queen back on the map and the sales after that reflected it! Make sure to find the full show though (over 20 minutes long).
We’ve done it
I showed my kids all the good music and when it came time to chose a buddy for my two tickets to Black Sabbath, I chose my daughter. When Ozzy started with War Pigs, I looked over to my girl and she was swinging her hair with her head banging and I had such tears in my eyes..... child raised right and respected!!
I would like to thank Wayne and Garth for reintroducing Queen to the US after what MTV had done to them
Mike Myers that played Wayne in Wayne's world also played Ray Foster (the manager who lost Queen) in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
According to Brian May, Mike Meyers wanted the band's approval to use Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World. They pulled togetrher a rough cut of the scene in the car, and sent it to May for approval. When Brian got it, like weeks before Freddie died, he took it over so they could watch it together. Freddie laughed himself sick, talking about how they would stop and dance in their seats when a good song came on the radio when they were all touring in their little van. And thus, permission was given.
👏This is one of ... never come again in Music - History
This is the holy grail of music
To see a kids face light up every time they listen to Queen makes my day.
Queen is Freddie and without freddie there is no queen R .I. P. Freddy. You are the best I know
Somebody to love is a must
I absolutely love to see a younger person discover older music. And to hear her say thats going on her play list was the cherry on top. I was born in 68 and the 70s had the best music if the younger gens would just give it a chance ❤
I completely agree
I'm 31 and cannot stand music nowadays. It's garbage. I'm always listening to queen, Eric clapton, pink floyd, led zeppelin and guns and roses. When musicians where talented, and didn't use this sympathiser crap.
@@marchmcmadness7134 Absolutely!!!! Vocal talent.
a beautiful father daughter moment.
I believe this is the only song to make it to #1 three times in the UK. The first time was in 75, the second time was in 91 after Freddy died. The third time (not sure about this) was as a charity single for Red Nose Day...
Possibly after the recent biopic?
Freeburg it was a pleasure to watch your reactions to one of the greatest songs ever written, as a teenager I grew up with the song and it is my all time favourite. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest singer to have ever lived.
All the time the video of Queen is going on I'm just loving how you're looking at your baby girls reaction to the video of Queens bohemian rhapsody to me that is more classic than the song could ever be!
Rock and Roll meets opera. Awesome ! Only few pop and rock acts can match this group.
A fantastic reaction video! Gives me hope that the younger generation will get to appreciate and enjoy the best music ever rather than modern rubbish! Thank you❤
heard that song at least twohundred times in my life. watching your lovely black-eyed daughter making this experience gave it a whole new quality
The original by Queen is by far the best. There is NO comparison!
Beautiful you two..lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
Hate these comparisons no one is better than the original by Queen, not only was Freddie an amazing vocalist and frontman, the hole band gelled so well together, they were amazing talented musicians, Penatonix do they play instruments???????
I love that your daughter has an open mind. Be proud !!!!!
Roger Taylor, the drummer is the one hits that high note!
I'm glad you were able to open you're daughter's ears to some Queen 😁👍.
Freddie was working on three songs when he had the genius inspiration to combine them into this epic masterpiece. Nothing like it before or since. After his death, his mother, Jerr, said she enjoyed this song but it made her too sad to there the "Mamaaa" parts.
Sorry, but Freddie was following a long musical tradition of combining musical styles into a rhapsody. Hence the name of the song, the Bohemian part comes from a different source.
@@davidkeenan5642 I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, I trust my sources.
@@davidkeenan5642 When Freddie Mercury was a student at Ealing Art College in the late ‘60s, he wrote down some ideas for a song on scraps of paper; his friend, Chris Smith, has stated that Mercury played parts of songs he was writing. One of those pieces was known as “The Cowboy Song,” and it had lyrics that found their way into “Bohemian Rhapsody,” specifically the line “Mama…just killed a man.” In the 1970s, he shared the bits and pieces with his bandmates, drumming on the piano keys and explaining what he would insert into the gaps. He told his bandmates that he thought he had enough for three songs but was considering combining it all to create a single long song. And that is what he did, creating a six-minute suite which is divided into several sections, including a ballad segment, a hard rock portion, an operatic passage, and the final, dark coda.
@@susanengland3919 Davis is right
Absolutely love her expression during it ❤.
Wow, that's news to me, I always thought all 4 of them were singing in the beginning, not just Freddie.
That was absolutely _delightful_ to watch!! I absolutely _adore_ watching the newer generations listen to and fall in love with Freddie and Queen. Gives me just a tiny taste of what it felt like for _me_ doing the same thing when I was little, dancing around the living room with my Dad to his Queen collection on full blast 🤩❤ And yeah, the fact they did it all without the benefits (or downsides, depending on your personal viewpoint) of auto-tune is just amazing! The things music producers had to do to get the effects you hear in older music just boggles the mind. Especially towards the mid-to-late 70s and into the 80s. Their experimentation really did pave the way for the generations today to enjoy some pretty spectacular technical and musical effects on songs.
This song is brilliant, but you need to listen to INNUENDO, another masterpiece👌
Watched the interview with Mr May years ago. They discussed this recording in depth. So much dubbing. How could they pull it off live. Simply awesome!
I love the reactions from her. This is what it's all about. Throw some Led Zeppelin, black sabbath, pink floyd, Deep Purple her way. I can't wait. Until next time stay well
Absolutely!!
Deep purple, pink Floyd, led Zeppelin.
But also try some Beatles!!
Anyone who hears that song for the first time is blown away.
She feels the music ... I expect many many tears going forward :) Good on you, both!
Great reaction buddy ; ) 😀 Would love to see her reaction to Angelina Jordan's version on America got talent ....that is so good that Queen gave the rights to her version 😊
Coming soon! I'll talk to Freeburg
