Freddie was sick that day, but he delivered such a powerful performance anyway.
i remember hearing a story that some of the other bands and singers, that were on after, were slightly peeved by Queen, as they were going to phone in their performance.
However now they had to try to at least match Queen.
How much of this was ribbing, or if it was true at all I have no idea.
@@Believer1980 Yes, they were told afterwards that they had stolen the show! It's true.
@@Believer1980 Status Quo were reputably asked what they thought of Queen's performance and said "Queen? Is that the band with the ugly singer and the pretty drummer?" I think they were joking!!!
He was sick alright.He was HIV positive...But he just wasn't sure yet.He suspected...And that's why he's wearing that bracelet thing around his bicep to hide a sarcoma marking on his body.Makes his and the Bands performance even more phenomenal.The best of all time no doubt 😊
Interesting that you picked up Elvis Presley in Crazy Little Thing Called Love It was written in part as a tribute to Elvis, one of Freddie's musical heroes.
Written in 1979 , 2 years after Elvis died in 1977.
It’s very obvious.
Don't cry because he died'
SmiLe because He was born..
EXACTLY 🥰
The movie made me cry too much lol
What many consider the greatest live performance in rock history.
Queen stole the show at Live Aid and is still stealing the show on TH-cam all these years later. Crazy Little thing Called Love was written by Freddie has a homage to Elvis. It came out a couple of years after Elvis's death.
Thank you Emma…..not many people notice the signal he gives to the band…clicking his fingers at the side of his head at…”I gotta be cool, relax”….there was some problem with the sound, I think, and Freddie, ever the professional was ensuring that everything was ok🤩
Elvis was one of Freddie's personal heroes.
You might want to check out "Somebody to Love" live in Montreal, 1981.
Version from the Milton Keynes Bowl is better.
Greatest Stage Performer of ALL TIME . Forget ELvis, the Beatles, Springstein, Madonna, Gaga,, Beyonce, Sheeran, Swift etc etc. This is the God of Musical Performers
The greatest set in rock history .
And it will always be!
Considered to be one of the best,if not the best,live performances in rock history. Freddie was having throat problems that day and was advised by his doctor not to sing. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was a tribute to Elvis.
Oh yeah, I see why…. That’s why I have the open question.,….
Freddie had a serious throat infection and was told by his doctor not to perform on this day but I don't think Freddie could pass up having the whole world as his audience. After the performance someone asked him how he felt while singing and he said it was like gargling with thick shards of glass. Brian has said that they could not hear each other on stage and there was no sound check, so the fact that they were able to keep it together is amazing and perhaps a testament to them often performing in these types of large arenas. Also according to Brian they had a very exacting way of communicating on stage when they were unable to hear. Normally if Freddie has something going on and can't manage the highest notes, Roger fills them in. Unfortunately, as I said they couldn't hear each other on the stage. Thank you for reacting to this outstanding set at this concert.
I never knew that he was incredible
Interesting what you say about them having a system. Because I do think they used it here. Freddie hit some good high B-flats in their opener, Bohemian Rhapsody (sorry - I'm a musician/music nerd) but in their last song, We Are The Champions, it seems that they wisely had planned on him maybe not being able to get that high. So in "no time for losers," Roger sings the original melody and Freddie harmonizes underneath. Then right after, much more subtly, "'cause we are the champions...." The words "cause" and "the" are both those high B-flats. Roger sings them. Freddie mimes them. It's actually a pretty brilliant sleight-of-hand. Freddie sings "no time for losers.... we are... champions." And no-one was the wiser, including me until years later.
I will concede that Freddie hit a nice high C (!) in the first chorus. ("We'll keep on FIGHT-ing to the end"), but I stand by my original point. And he ducked out of the high C in the 2nd chorus, entirely understandably as he wasn't feeling at his best.
Roger did help fill in during this concert.
I see it now! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️ anyway he is crazy cool 😎
Thanks Emma - I remember this flipping back and forth from London to Philadelphia all day and it was such an incredible event - so many big time acts were there. Another reactor's comments reminded me that Phil Collins played at both venues that day. He performed in London, flew to Philly, and performed again. The whole thing was good example of positive human collaboration and effort for the benefit of the world at large.
Reaction Queen Love Of My Life live at wembley 1986 pliss 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Does not get better than this energywise! 😍The guys play great and Freddie, ah Freddie... Best frontman ever!! RIP ❤
This is where Lady Gaga took her name from this song.
Hard to believe they are now auto-tuning Freddie's voice on studio tracks.
Brian and Roger WTF!
Blasphemy!
R.I.P. Freddie, He was the Ultimate Showman.. Also,He was asked what his favorite instrument was to play, He replied the audience!!
My mom actually bought cable tv so my brother and I could watch this on MTV. Thanks for your reaction to this fond memory.
My parents were in the crowd and still talk about this performance 😂❤
Remember watching this on TV "live". 🙂.
The cold stream guards opened the event.
Status Quo were the first band on stage, followed by Queen 😁
Bob Geldof was ranting in the studio " give us the money give me the money"
Can't remember how much was raised on the day, but it was pretty good in the end👍
Freddie's doctors were concerned about his voice and told him not to preform but freddie did it anyway
Well I watched this, the same fantastic show I've seen, loved hundreds of times. Sorry you didn't and experience Queen's full ending i.e., Freddie's parting words from Queen including"We Love You" being cut.
How many people can sound that good, epic, an powerful. When they are sick. Throat problems. The answer is...
Just the one... Freddie!
@10:57 Freddy playing his favourite instrument. The Audience . ❤
Dear Emma, Freddie & Brian came back on stage at the end of the day to sing one more song, acoustic, here is the link th-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/w-d-xo.html
The live aid experience is incomplete without seeing that extra song.
Thank you for that; Wonderful, it was a feeling of pure
pleasure to listen to; So a big thanks from myself again. 👍👏.
It was so heartfelt - loved it!
Freddie Mercury performed AGAINST his doctors orders and he was so brilliant that Elton John marched into Queen's dressing room and screamed "how the fuck are we supposed to follow that? We all might as well go home because NO-ONE is gonna top that performance!"
Bob Geldof (live aid organizer) was desperate for them to perform there
After Freddie died they held a tribute show for him. I think you should check out the band Extreme's performance at that show. They do a medley of different Queen songs and do a killer job. Many think they stole the show. Other bands on that show were the likes of Metallica, Guns n Roses , Def Leppard, Elton John, David Bowie and George Michael.
Hi Emma, you should definetely watch „Bohemian Rhapsody“ on your Movie Channel.
Exactly cuz most of the song I came to know through is from this movie, watch more than 7 times,never got tired ❤
❤ beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ we still love you dear Freddie ❤️
Loved your reaction and Im newbie here ❤
Let me suggest you one band called Sabaton,I want you to try out "1916" wrtten by Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead and "No bullets Fly" if you haven't, I warned you to keep tissue paper or wiper right behind you ❤❤❤❤❤
Freddie: the “Fearless”. Brian: the “Beast”, and the rest of Queen, masters of their craft. Notice at the very end, the green or yellow light goes off as Freddie twists and ends it. To the second. Absolute perfection. Greatest set ever. Grand reaction as always Emma. Loved it for the millionth time!!!!!!
RIP Freddie. He truly was a champion.
I hope that you are well soon, Emma. A great reaction and analysis. Freddie was ill on the day of this too. Please react to, "Somebody To Love" by Queen live in Montreal 1981, I think that it's probably one of the best live performances ever.
Milton Keyes 1982 Somebody to Love is excellent as well, and with a more urgent, energetic feel. Each time they performed it is a bit different , that makes every concert worth watching
Great performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We have something in common but I did have to start again as I did delete my channel totally by accident I was trying to get rid of another channel and combine the 2 I was well pissed when I deleted my channel never mind shit happens
They worked so well together and rehearsed for a week that when Freddy dropped his arm at the end of the set it was 20 minutes ( that was all the time everyone had for their sets).
Such JOY ... I ALWAYS feel happier whenever I listen or watch QUEEN..... ALL 4 OF THEM as you mentioned....... LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction to Freddie.... Emma you are a STAR...Much LOVE to you ALWAYS
Freddie was advised not to preform at live aid but freddie did it anyway
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
start of his illness for sure....throat virus told not to sing, and u can just hear his voice crack here and there as normally Freddie was always pitch/ tone perfect...but was still the best vocalist and performer by a mile on the day✌️
A great performance and great reaction. Sorry to hear about your previous TH-cam account being deleted
Welcome to the world of Queen Freddie change your mind good life you reaction Is very sweet
HI EMMA!
Thank you for this!
FYI… There is also a Queen ENCORE at Live Aid!
(You can find the video on the official Live Aid channel)
…As part of the evening finale, Brian May & Freddie perform an acoustic ballad:
“Is This The World We Created?”
Thank you for a lovely reaction to this great performance. I’m not sure what songs you have already heard from Queen….. But almost all of their songs are better live than the studio versions. Freddie didn’t just sing songs on stage …he performed them as only Freddie could. I would love for you to react to more live performances….. please try Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981 …or live in Milton Keynes 1982, both are fabulous. You must, must react to Who Wants To Live Forever live in Budapest. And did you know that Freddie also perform opera with Montserrat Caballe’ in Barcelona, Spain. Those songs are another must too. Please continue to react to Queen …Thank you.
Hi Enma , Check , Falling in Reverse Last Resort Reimagined
I wasn't born yet when this took place but i must have watched this about 100 times now, I know you're a singer so you can appreciate the effort he put into this. I DJ most weekends and i always play at least one Queen song, I'm doing what I can to keep Freddie's (and Queen's) memory alive. Have a terrific day and see you on your movie channel!
Queen, Somebody to Love Montreal 1981. Is a must to react to.
If you haven't done that you can't call yourself a youtube music reactor. Just saying, Emma. lol
I feel sorry for David Bowie who had to follow after this ultimate set from Queen
100,000+ people in the stadium and something like a billion people watching this live, and for 22 minutes Freddie Mercury ruled the world with Queen giving perhaps the greatest concert performance ever. What I love even more about it is the simplicity of what they were doing. They are dressed simply, there are no elaborate dances or pyrotechnics or anything like that. It is just an absolutely masterful performance.
Loved your reaction!
Bob Geldoff was running around like a headless chicken, trying to hold the show together, and he stopped and watched, and said, "Oh my God... Queen is stealing the show."
And he was right.
We feel you feeling this ❤Emma, we all get flustered with Freddie 😊
Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Only two singers have performed crazy Little thing called Love that is Queen and Dwight Yoakam Queen was the original was written in 1979
It is very natural for a top high Eb tone singer to not reach higher notes of studio songs in a show. it is not normal what opera singers do, and they also have an element of voice coversion. they put all the weight of the voice on the belly, lungs and opera screem. Freddie sings from his natural throat voice and what he does on stage, no one else can do. the voice tambur, the dinamics with the mic, the emotions he provoces, the commending of the audiance and the visual experience of his unstopable carisma were second to non. He was the greatest showman and was dancing on stage years before micheal jackson did.
H finishes a show with a clean Bb, I want to see how many rock singers can do that after having a whole show in avarage of between g to a. no one can sing like that. there are few, and perhaps in his prime klouse from Scorpions could have. Not like this, but in the tone hight. Robert plant was crazy on stage but in 6 years he ruined his voice. Anyway freddie is and will always be the best.
Remember watching on tv like it was yesterday. It was a great day. U2 did a great set too. Brian May had a small stroke last week. Thankfully he was not left with any problems. Thanks Emma!
They were really the only band that day who managed to deal with the sound, which was pretty bad.. It's always a compromise at an event with multiple artists, but boy did some of the earlier artists get ( unintentionally) screwed.
Can't remember if the sound in the U.S. was as bad??
That has to go down as Freddie's finest live performance, but his bravest performance must be when he recorded the video for "These are the days of our lives". RIP, big man.
More Queen/Freddie please! Here are some recommendations:
Studio recordings:

Breakthru
I was born to love you

Professor, there is a beautiful video of Freedy Mercury and Monserrah Cabharet. It was in the 90s
My mother showed it to me.
This performance is a masterclass in voice husbandry. He pulled it back where he needed to in order to give it all he had when it counted.
Please do not forget drummer Roger Taylor´s superb backing vocals 🙂
Most reactors miss the person complaining was in Belgium, many many many miles away and thats the joke
It is so great to watch younger generations still be amazed at classic events and generational singers like FREDDY....keep going dive deeper into this artist...
Freddie
That is what you call having an audience in the palm of your hand
I was on the 8-years-old when I was live and I remember watching it on TV
Every time I see Emma's eyes light up and she starts her head bob, my heart begins to melt...
Freddie! There is no more to say!
21:43 every reactor I've seen at this point is worried he's going to smash the guitar.😅
Just think, David Bowie followed them.
Try Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon doing White Queen, live at Hyde Park with Freddie mesmerizing a rowdy crowd with his latest song You Take My Breath Away. The studio version is also incredible. Save Me at Montreal 1981. Lyric videos of Death On Two Legs, My Melancholy Blues…a deep rabbit hole with lots of eclectic musical gems 💎 👑💜
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in college here in North Carolina when this concert happened in 1985. I remember it well. My friends and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife did the same thing during that time period as well. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then compared to today. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
I just canNOT get enough of them! I've watched this probably over 1,500 times and STILL, I tear up when I realize I know something that Freddie doesn't know yet. I know he has AIDS (VIV now but becomes AIDS soon) and at this point in his life, he didn't know. I also know that he will suffer unbelievable pain, unbelievable devastation, and lose most of his foot. He didn't know that either.
Great reaction! It’s a joy to see a huge fan of music having a wonderful time. I was a preteen when Live Aid was simulcast globally. I remember the biggest acts in music performing and they’d switch from the UK (London) and then to the USA (Philadelphia) and back again. By far Queen’s performance has got to be the top live concert performance in Rock & Roll history. The amazing energy, atmosphere, and connection Freddie and the audience shared was incredible and unmatched. Even watching on TH-cam all these years later still brings chills and excitement. Freddie Mercury was the ultimate performer.
Please watch the movie BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, it's a lead up to this amazing concert. My 2 favourite songs are 1. I want to break free. 2. Another bites the dust...
IIn 1985, I was a producer for the US broadcast of the concert that alternated between London and Philadelphia. Queen performed around 2 pm, and the reaction from the large screens and crowd in Philadelphia was just as enthusiastic as those in London. We were broadcasting the MTV feed in the US, where at that time, less than half the country had cable to watch the performance. However, MTV replayed the performance constantly the following week. Interestingly, Phil Collins played first in London, then flew to Philadelphia in time to perform again before the concert concluded.
Unquestionably THE greatest live performance of all-time, IMHO. I watched both concerts live (I'm 66) - the one everyone justifiably raves about at Wembley, and the sister concert in Philadelphia - because a lot of my favourite musical acts were performing on both sides of "the pond". There was a 5 hr. time differential, so the London show was well along before Philly started. But fans in Philadelphia were treated to giant screen viewings of the performers across the Atlantic. I watched on tv as the crowd sang along to every Queen tune and went bananas when they were done. Incredible to watch!
The 22+ min. of the Queen garnered so much attention to the famine relief effort,especially in Europe,. Organizers estimate when the band had finished their set, the amount of money donated had gone up eight to tenfold! Between both shows more than $300M US was raised.
Yes, there were 100,000+ at Wembley; as the London Police described the crowd in a "Times of London" article: We estimate at least 75,000 paid attendance. Plus, there seems to have been another 25,000 more who "lost their ticket stubs". LOL!!!
BTW, Bob Geldof was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his work towards the famine relief effort, as well as being the spearhead behind Band Aid's (again, the Brits) "Do They Know It's Christmas?". Co-written by Geldof and Midge Ure.
I remember watching these enormous live shows from my Grandma's house ... on her enourmous console TV that weighed about half a ton.
The next year, 1986, Queen returned to Wembley on the Magic tour, and played two sold-out nights. The opening act ... the OPENING act ... was INXS. From these monster shows came the double album, "Queen: Live at Wembley '86" (truth in titling!), which I had on cassette in my little music collection. Queen could sell out massive old Wembley any time.
this 22 minutes of music is widely accepted as the best 22 minutes of music ever....even though this was not a "queen" concert or crowd you can hear them sing word for word right from the start... Queen and freddy stole the show that day infront of 75,000 people in the stadium and a few BILLION world wide....
24:41 Sea of hands
So many clips of this (understandably) just cut straight to the band.
I'd forgotten about the "constables" that came out just before, TY for including that.
Considering the conditions under which they performed that day at Live Aid, Queen's set was superb, compared with the Robert Plant+Jimmy Page LZ set, which suffered from a lot of technical issues.
Emma, sorry to hear about your channel being deleted. Good luck with the rebuild.
Queen's performance at Live Aid was not an accident. Ever the consummate professionals that they were, they hired a theatre in London and did nothing but rehearse solidly in the lead up for the concert, which was organised at very short notice. They drilled and worked on each of the tracks and in which order, so that they make the most out of the time they had been allocated. The end result... well you've now seen it for yourself.
The organisers (Bob Geldof and Midge Ure) had asked all the artists to perform from their back catalogue and not new material.
Now consider that the audience, some 70,000, packed into Wembley stadium, had all had their different reasons for attending, most would obviously be there to see some of the other acts in the star studded line up. So, with all that in mind, look at the way the audience is eating out of Freddie's hands AND how they ALL know every single song.
Queen had been on the go since the 70s and to many were considered to be on a downward trajectory, but this concert, broadcast around the world, was a massive boost, from which they never faded.
I forget exactly who it was, but was a seriously well known artist, who was heard back stage as Queen came off, to say 'How the F am I supposed to follow that?'.
Some other details to fill in the gaps. With so many artists, there was a real challenge to change the instruments and set up for the next band coming on, so the two comedians you see at the beginning of this clip (Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones) were there to fill in the gap between sets, and you can hear sound checks going on in the background. Interestingly, this WASN'T the end of Queen's performance at Live Aid. Freddie and Brian May went back on stage later on and performed 'Is This The World We Created', acoustically.

Next please.
Ps, do not play official video of Cemetery Gates.
Emma, What a treat this reaction was! Not Freddie's best vocal performance as he had a bad throat that day, and had been advised by a doctor not to sing. But luckily of course he did, and so we have what is surely one of the most phenomenal performances ever from an entertainer at his absolute peak. Because time was very severely limited for each act on the day, they gave shortened versions of these songs, which if anything helped to limit the damage to his voice. But even though vocally below par, his performance was without compromise giving it full attack at every opportunity. I dread to think what that did to his vocal chords. For a different side to Freddie's beautiful voice you might like to react to one of the live versions of 'Love of My Life'. The one from Montreal in 1981 is arguably the best. (But both the one from Wembley and another from Rio (both in 1985) are well worth a listen.
C.L.T.C.Love was a homage to Elvis. (I think.)
Great performance by Freddy and Queen at this great Live Aid Concert. Also a great and lovely reaction from you Emma as always. Love to watch your videos, you and the reactions makes me always happy and give me a smile on my face thanks 😘
This concert was also sent out live via satellite to approximately 1.8 BILLION people!!
Freddie wasn't just a rock god, he also did a bit of opera. you should check out the song "Barcelona" from his solo Album of the same name.
There was an encore Is This The World We Created, there is a great rendition of it 1986 at 28:15 Wembley . The Luve Aid one is often blocked
Yes, Queen don't own the copyright for it, which is why it gets blocked.
Beautiful reaction Emma, if you haven't seen it yet i recommend the movie called Bohemian Rhapsody released in 2018 about freddie mercury life.
Not even a nasty throat infection or his doctor could stop him... Love that man & this band (G. O. A. T.) ❤❤❤❤
over 80,000 people in that stadium, they didnt come for freddie, Queen was sort of a last minute addon and EVERYONE became a queen fan there he took the world he too the crowd and made them his
Freddy Mercury had a throat infection in this performance, doctors advised him not to perform. To be honest I think it added to the hair raising, goosebumps of a performance from the Legend that was and is Freddy mercury and not to forget Queen as a whole. 4 members in perfect sync.
I think that this can be shown without the fear of being baned or have a "strike" because it was for charity (live aid), so the groups there didn't claim copyrights or anything for it. I might be terrebly wrong
Brian May said the acoustics were so bad onstage that they just couldn't hear one another. No earpieces, no autotune. But they had rehearsed the set extensively to get the timing right (a very strict schedule). That's how professional they were as a band - very tight. You can see them giving one another visual cues as they go through. Freddie brings his arm down to end the last song exactly as the red light comes on at the end of their allotted time. Perfect timing.
Fun fact: The guitarist for Queen, Brian May, as well as being a very talented musician and songwriter, is also an astrophysicist.
are this 144p? this concerts exist in 4k too here, you know? th-cam.com/video/2yM669TcrE0/w-d-xo.html 4k 60fps. are you choicing the worse quality on purpose?
What Freddie and Queen brought was joyous and inspirational, a legacy that will live on forever and we that witnessed it will be forever blessed!
Freddy one of the best...
Such a shame with your previous channel. So many great and insightful reactions. So glad to see you here again!!
Not any image of Roger Taylor , but for sure , his voice WE Can hear It !
great reaction Emma, now you must react to somebody to love mortal 81 live the best performance yet !
