"Freddie, what's your favourite instrument to play?"
"The audience, darling"
I would say, best 20 minutes of the best live concert in history. There were a lot of bands at Live Aid, and Queen blew them all out of the water.
Freddie had all 90,000 people in Wembley Stadium in the palm of his hand....and millions more worldwide.
Still does.
I watch this set at least once a day.
At 67 yrs. young I am more than happy to be doing something worthwhile.
By that I mean meeting young people, such as yourself.
I enjoy reactors just like You as soon as a new reactor pops up, I've got more reason to watch more than once a day.
Thanks for being You, Your Enthusiasm, and for making My day.
90 000 people that most had not come to see Queen that the amazing thing to get non queen fans to react like that
Very well said!!
More like 1.9 BILLION people worldwide!
@@kevinpoultonthey didn't sound like non Queen fans!? Didn't you hear them singing every word along?
Freddie Mercury greatest showoman of a 'll time.
Freddie ALWAYS used that microphone stand. It was kind of his trademark.....other than having the greatest voice ever.😊
Dude, Freddie used his microphone without the stand since the 1970s...it was his signature look.
Freddie was a magic piece of charisma. One of the greatest entertainers ever and even greater missed in a world gone haywire. Rest in peace
Greatest 20 minutes in music history..... And I saw it live. Truly blessed.
If you want to see how big Queen really were, watch the clip from the green day concert, before the band came on they played bohemian rhapsody as background music, the crowd took over and sang the whole song including music solos. Just shows how amazing Queen were.
The 2017 Hyde Park version is the best, because the crowd were so loud you have to listen really carefully to hear the music they are singing along to.
Absolutely amazing I nearly cried when I saw the sun shining through the cloud, mind blowing
Yes yes yes!!!! That was amazing! Love to see your reaction!!!!!!
It’s nice to see someone turn onto Queen all these years later. Freddy really was a miracle and Brian May and the rest of the band were brilliant!
*Freddie
What’s so amazing is that all the band members had uni degrees! Hell, Brian May is an astrophysicist!
Such a cute reaction Video. Always makes me so happy when I see people smiling while they're watching Freddie perform 🥰
Queen is the best band EVER, and Freddie was a magical being. Kudos also to the stage crew, cameramen, and the editors who put this video together that makes it feel like I'm actually there every time I watch it. Great reaction too!
The Beatles is the best and most influential band.
Queen top 3 or 2 tbh, it's also my favourite.
CALM DOWN HARDCORE QUEEN FAN! THEY'RE NOT THE BEST BAND EVER, AND WILL NEVER BE😂😂😂😂😂IDIOT
@@H7XBeatles are for sure everything but no one was a show man like Freddie Mercery..and no band could top Queen performing live..No one..Beatles didn’t tour that much..I think they stopped touring the last five yrs of them together..then the famous rooftop last performance..They were great live but Queen was amazing live.
Watched it live as a Queen fan in 1985 and fully expected them to kill it...and they did!
Bohemian Rhapsody is practically a UK national anthem. Its consistently voted most popular song of all time. Their Live Aid set here has been voted best live performance of all time. Freddie was classically trained , had a 5 octave range & had charisma you could surf off. As a teen, I watched the whole Live Aid concert on TV , it was incredible
Freddie Mercury is THE BEST.
Truly is
The GOAT!!
This was actually the whole performance from Queen on this magical day in 1985. I sat glued to the TV for almost 24 hours as this was televised all over the world as they raised money to stop the hunger in Africa. Each band had only 20 minutes to perform. The stage was divided in to three parts and rotated. So, when one band performed the previous bands instruments was taken off the stage and the next band was rigged on the third. When Queen entered the stage and performed their set - no one wanted to enter after them - They OWNED Wembley that night!
You're right, I think David Bowie came on next. He asked Freddie "How do I top that?" 😂😂😂😂
The whole performance apart from cutting the end of We Are The Champions and the bit when Freddie and Brian came back on somewhat later and did an acoustic performance of Is This The World We Created?
@@malcolmrowe9003 That's correct - But the part with Brian and Freddie was later on during the night and not directly after their performance as I recall? I have the complete DVD-set so I will check it and get back.
@@malcolmrowe9003 I Found it - That was late the same evening in the Wembley set on disc 3 of four.

Concerts before there were cell phones. Where everyone is just living and enjoying the moment. No selfies, texting, etc. Just wave your hands and sing along and let yourself ride the emotional wave of music, being a part of something, taking in all the good vibes from the person next to you and all the thousands of people.👍 😊
Half mic stand was a signature for Freddie. Early in his career with the band he grabbed the mic and broke in half. Since that time it became his signature
HI from Australia - I was 16 when Live Aid was on, and I say in front of the TV from 8 at night until well into the next day waiting for Queen to come on and I was not disappointed. They were my first band from when I was six years old, and I still love them just as much. Good reaction, glad you liked it.
Dude, lm a 63 ye old fat ass 300 lb white guy and I love you in a heterosexual way. I love the way that you can actually appreciat and enjoy music beyond what is acceptable in the hood. Your joy and happiness proves me right. Great music is universal and timeless..😅
❤️❤️🔥🤟🙏Love you mike ! Reading this has made my whole new month , I like taking comments from family members on the channel & framing them , think you’ve made the wall ! We’re family now homie ❤️🍻🍻
@@Okayrick React to Queen "These Are The Days of Our Lives" Official Video!! You won't be sorry. Have tissues ready!!
I’m with you, I’m 68 I still remember seeing them on tv the first time I think 💭 74 - 75. I enjoy seeing people enjoying the music I grew up on. 💯
Rock in Rio, January 1985 best Queen Show ever, about 300.000 people, simple the best.
Freddie is the best!
Queen “was it all worth it “🔥🔥🔥🔥thanks boss
Great reaction! Glad you loved it. The greatest live performance of all time!
"If you watched my last Queen reaction where I cried, the real ones know, man"
Freddie: "Didn't mean to make you cryyyy"
That was perfect timing
❣❣❣ **********BEST FRONTMAN IN HISTORY!!!********** ❣❣❣
Your enthusiasm for Queen makes my heart happy!!! I love watching people fall in love with this band and the music they made that will be TIMELESS!!
72,0000 people at Wembley, another 100,000 in Philadelphia, and 1,2 billion watching on TV globally. The Olympics have 3 satellites...Live Aid had 13. I wasn't a Queen fan at all, but after that day..I was lol! The world for Africa!
I remember it was very hot that day in Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985 but it was worth it, best day in my life! 👏👏🇳🇱
It's almost impossible to see Freddie here and know that he only had 6 years left in life xx
oh yes i was there in the crowd, the whole stadium was rocking here
The half mike stand was Freddie's signature stage prop, dating back to his time in the failed band "Ibex" when the stand broke on stage he found he liked the freedom it gave him and kept it.
First time seeing your video bud,you sound like someone who would fun to be around,keep that spirit dude it works 👍,these were my late fathers favourite Live band,said no one did it better
Queen….cool cat….brilliant!!🇬🇧🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧🎼🌻
Every band at both concerts got roughly 20 minutes. Philadelphia and London took turns having bands on stage.
It was televised and I remember my friend recording it on VHS.
I make sure to always introduce Queen to my high school students. Everyone (!) asks for it when we play music in the classroom.
And the best part is that they're just quiet sitting there enjoying it (and working, hopefully). And everyone knows how different all high school students are from each other.. But in this, they unite.
Great reaction videos from you! Love and respect from Sweden.
Too bad that this chopped version is the first one reactors find.
I don't understand why it not have been taken down yet because who ever responsible for making it is so disrespectful to Freddie cutting away his long note in the end.
I know! It kills me every time. SO frustrating - that's my favorite part. The little voice crack, a (still beautiful) reminder that he's human, and then the most gorgeous long sustained note ever.
I do so agree! Every new reaction is the same - in fact I skip to the end just to check, and dammit, it's the same every time. Just take it down, TH-cam! Get it gone!
Plus, I know there is a version out there that includes "Is This the World We Created" later that night. So sad they miss that too. 😢
Freddie is most definitely one of the GOATS! There will never be another like him. His voice, stage presence, and charisma is beyond beautiful. 🖤
I loved your reaction. So sorry the video you chose had a bit missing. There are other versions that are okay. I don’t think they block live performances. Looking forward to more Queen from you. 😁👍🏾
That half-mike stand was Freddie's trademark. Early in his career, supposedly the top half broke off during a performance and he just kept going. Did it like that from then on. He was so cool!
You don't have to blur Queen's songs, they're happy to have them watched, shared and enjoyed.
EVen more impressive when you know Freddie's doctor strongly advised him not to sing that day as he had a throat infection, but he had to carry on. Also, the tickets were sold before Queen was added to the list of artists, so these folks didn't know Queen was going to be there when they bought the tickets, but they sure got an amazing surprise.
The 1980's when the UK had 4 Queens that the world loved. Elizabeth II, Elton John, the rock group and Freddie Mercury
You're the man, Rick!!!
Much love from Mexico City!
PURE PERFECTION! LIVE AID was a charity event for the horrendous famine in Africa (especially Ethiopia)...thousands upon thousands of people were dying. Loads of bands and individual performers contributed to the event to raise money for the people of Africa - Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, David Bowie, etc etc. Each performer only had 20 MINUTES for their performance. The Live Aid crew were under strict orders to cut the power if a band went over their 20 minutes. So QUEEN shortened the length of the 6 songs they decided to perform so they would fit into their 20 minute time slot. At the time of LIVE AID, Queen had just returned from their enormous South American tour where they performed in many countries including Brazil where they gave incredible shows in front of more than 250,000 adoring fans each show. So Queen was used to performing in huge stadiums in front of thousands of people. They practiced their shortened versions of their songs for many days the week before the concert. QUEEN WAS MORE THAN READY FOR LIVE AID...and WOW!!! Their performance was impeccable!
Acknowledged as being the greatest live rock concert in history. Thats Queen!
Over a billion people watched live aid around the world donations came flying in during this performance Queen raised by far the most money for this benifit and Freddie had a throat infection and still stole the show❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
Freddie had laryngitis the week before this concert and was advised by his doctor to cancel his appearance. Of course he ignored the advice and went on to make rock history. Wembley seats 72,000 for sporting events, so it's anybody's guess how many were there including the people on the field. Two of the songs were shortened since they only had a 20 minutes set and they wanted to include as many of the fan favorites as possible. If you watch more Queen videos you'll notice that Freddie ALWAYS carries the mic & stand around the stage with him. He started doing that at the beginning of his career.
Just a quick footnote; this was the old Wembley Stadium.
New one seats 90k and has a retractable roof
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️
there were so many great artists on live aid, but Freddy and Queen killed it. I felt like you did Rickk when I first saw this video.
Liked & subscribed! More Queen please! Fantastic reaction to the world’s greatest band! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Any Queen is good Queen thank you so much
Hey man that was a blast. You are great at this. Queen was one of my teen years favorite bands, so this was great. Thanks for appreciating this great band and what a show.
YESSSS .. This 20 min set is still considered the best live performance by a rock band which includes the fact that it was a global charity event for the famine in Africa!! Queen’s song choices for the set list is brilliant 👉 Bohemian Rhapsody (why not, massive hit) .. Radio Ga Ga (crowd participation) .. Hammer To Fall (currently getting radio play) .. Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Freddie’s tribute to Elvis, crowd sees him play guitar) .. We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions (the one-two punch knockout) 💥🥊
Shows you what a real showman can do with a crowd and he was one of the best singers of all time and greatest showman by a million miles
This made rock history with the greatest live set in rock history.
Queen stole the show at live aid.
Freddie is a rock icon that will never be duplicated
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
The shortest 20 minutes of the history. 😊
You saw 20 minutes of music history. Real music with talents without computers and autotunes. For me Queen is the best group and Freddie ❤ is the best performer, vocalist, frontman.
Greetings from Germany.
I'm an imediate fan dude. Your reactions are so genuine. You make me smile.
Freddie himself broke the microphone stand and decided he liked it that way.
He was magic on two legs. One of the victims of AIDS only 6 years later. Such a shame, if only the same medications were available back then. RIP Freddie. But isn't it amazing how this music just lives on and still resonates 40 years on. Freddie will be here for a long time to come!
Just subscribed! Love your spirit and reaction!
Yes, Queen is a British band, but Freddie was born in Zanzibar, off the coast of East Africa. He is of Asian-Indian descent and of Persian(Iranian) ancestry. His parents were born in Bombay.
Before Live Aid, his doctor told Freddie not to sing. He voice problems, but Freddie sang his heart out that day. Queen was spectacular and Brian May, lead guitarist, said it was Freddie’s day.
There is a video that includes the end of this performance. It’s a shame this one was incomplete.
Please react to Another One Bites the Dust, Montreal 1981 &. I Want to Break Free, Vienna 1984 (Totally unforgettable!)
Best performance in history ❤😂yes it was Warm honey and lemon for his throat .
And Freddie performed against doctors orders due to a throat infection .
He said it felt like broken glass when he sang.
75, 000 people in. Attendance and 1.9 Billion watched from around the world , which was 1 forth of the world at that time .
They made 124 Million dollars for famine in Africa❤
Sorry to hear about your dad. Love and life in peace to you bud ❤❤❤. Amazing reaction. I wish the same as you, that I could see them live in my life time, but Freddie died when I was 11 years old. Take care peace and love bro ✌️
Kevin, thank you as always I’ve done my share of crying. I should’ve known all of this music when I was young but I was into dance music. It’s good to have your eyes open and listen to things that you hadn’t before but yes I’ve cried as well.
I've watched "Somebody to Love" Live 1981 a million times; if that's not a bottle of Heineken on his piano, I'm not an alcoholic. 😂😂😂😂
@OkayRIckk I have watched many great reactions to 'Queen - Live Aid' but yours is now absolute best! *Please* keep reacting to Queen and others 'before your time'. Not only will this 'fam' enjoy, but *you* will appreciate deeply what music was before this modern age 🙂Your reaction is phenomenal, Thank You so much 🥰 Definitely a subscribe by me 🙂
It was televised live: 1.9 Billion people watched this world wide.
They are truly iconic. One of the best bands of all time. You need to watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It is awesome.
HONEY, I HAVE A REQUEST:
SINCE YOU LOVED "SOMEBODY TO LOVE" AT MONTREAL SO MUCH...
WOULD YOU PLEASE ALSO REACT TO THE PERFORMANCE AT:
MILTON KEYNES BOWL in 1982
(The Montreal performance is awesome, obviously. It gets more reactions because it was filmed in 35 mm... BUT, the Milton Keynes rendition is actually the one that Queen included in their official compilation of Best Live Performances! And, EVERY reactor who has watched both versions, has said they love Milton Keynes even MORE. (One reactor said that "Montreal is the appetizer, Milton Keynes is the MEAL.) The performance is SO PASSIONATE - and FUNNY - and you also get to see the audience involvement that isn't visible at Montreal.)
The footage isn't as crystal as Montreal because it's an outdoor nighttime concert...
This LINK is to a remastered version, that's better HD than the video on the official channel:
th-cam.com/video/Snk0Acss4Mo/w-d-xo.html
YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE IT!
"if you watch my last queen reaction video where i cried....."
Freddie Mercury: "Didn't mean to make you cry!"
For 22 minutes Queen didn’t own the crowd or even London, he owned the entire universe.
I always cry to Somebody To Love. Hits me so close to home 😢
I've seen sooo many documentaries, interviews and read books. I know a much as anyone about Freddie!!!
I'm surprised you had to fade out the video. You are the first reactor I've seen do that for this video.
The best live concert in history
Facts
This was historic and the pinnacle of live performances. The is the very best. Now go spend the next three months exploring their catalog of music. As one who was alive during their career, the music means ever more now, it has truly aged well.
If your still here look up Wembley 1986 .. His LAST time on stage. He leaves it ALL on the stage!!!!!!
Love ya bro. Thanks for the awesome review
Love your reactions ! He always used the half piece on his Mike, after his 1st band performance when it got stuck and kept doing it ever since lol 😂😊
Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 72,000 people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 89,484 people.
Love that you posted this, and I love to watch YOU watching it! I could never get tired of watching Freddie's stage presence! RIP!
He was just Freddie , which makes him unique for all time .
Watch also , ' Love of my Life ' Live , and Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona Live ...
Freddy Mercury also had a throat infection during this performance… and still sounded that good.
Live Aid was a multi-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, as well as a music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for relief of the 1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia, a movement that started with the release of the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984. Billed as the "global jukebox", Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 72,000 people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 89,484 people.
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative were held in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia, and West Germany. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.[3][4]
The impact of Live Aid on famine relief has been debated for years. One aid relief worker stated that following the publicity generated by the concert, "humanitarian concern is now at the centre of foreign policy" for Western governments.[5] Geldof has said, "We took an issue that was nowhere on the political agenda and, through the lingua franca of the planet - which is not English but rock 'n' roll - we were able to address the intellectual absurdity and the moral repulsion of people dying of want in a world of surplus."[6] In another interview he stated that Live Aid "created something permanent and self-sustaining" but also asked why Africa is getting poorer.[5] The organisers of Live Aid tried to run aid efforts directly, channelling millions of pounds to NGOs in Ethiopia. It has been alleged that much of this went to the Ethiopian government of Mengistu Haile Mariam - a regime the UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher opposed - and it is also alleged some funds were spent on guns.The BBC stated in 2010 there was no evidence money had been diverted, while the former British Ambassador to Ethiopia, Brian Barder, states, "the diversion of aid related only to the tiny proportion that was supplied by some NGOs to rebel-held areas."
Crowd control level 1,000,000! You should seriously watch Bohemian Rhapsody! It'll answer you question about his Mic Stand, LOL!
Usiing the t top piece of the mic-stand was Freddies's trademark for years, Watch the movie. It;s a blast.
Freddie Mercury had about a billion people around the world in the palm of his hand for 20 minutes that day.
To give people some idea of how good Queen was that day the legendary David Bowie who was on next after Queen was heard to exclaim "how the fuck am I supposed to follow that"
Everyone is correct, he was sick, it wasn't beer. But he still owned it.
Your attention was diverted from the screen on a few of the very Freddie bits he did - maybe you'll catch them if you ever re-watch. When you almost though he was going to break the guitar - that was his tribute to one of his icons, Jimi Hendrix. Great enthusiasm for that bad boy and Queen. Both inject so much joy in this confused and wild world all these years later. Keep it going.
HATE that this version is out there with the cut off at the end! The version with the Brit duo dressed as police won't cut off. Also missing is the late night session with Brian & Freddie doing a last song...."Is This the World We Created."
I got married in 1985 and had my 2nd daughter in 86. Watched almost the whole Live Aid concert on TV
Thank you for taking me on your Queen journey. It makes it feel like my first time, again! Blessings to you!
I love your videos they help my grief you make me laugh and it makes me want to get up and dance lol
I'm sorry you're having a rough time, but smiling is a great start and it feels good and if you want to dance, I think you should 😊
I recommend you check out the crazy little thing called love video Freddie wrote that as a tribute to the king of rock. Goat.
Yes!,the boy from Zanzibar did good🕺👌
I'm so glad you enjoyed Queen I'm from the UK ❤️🇬🇧🇱🇷
Oh hell… did you get Grandma out of trouble? God love her! Love ya baby!!
Thank you for this. I love your energi. Have you watched the move ” behemian rapsody”? If not you must. Amazing. Its how Freddie became Freddie, the band Queen. His life and its just mindblowing. The actor Rami Malek did an amizing performance. He even sang the songs in the movie. Thank you again for this. Love from Sweden
Bohemian rhapsody
Freddy's doctor advised him not to sing as he had a throat infection but that did not stop him
On the piano was all drinks to help him sooth his throat there was no beer.
Rest in peace Freddy ❤
Thank you for the video I have seen it a million times over glad you enjoyed it!
Coming from the UK ❤ 🇬🇧 👍
Hello from France !
I love your love for our four golden boys 😊
I'm now a new member of the family 💛❤️💙
