Freddie did every show at the top of his effort. He was an incredible vocalist but human. The occasional flaw is the consequence of his passionate commitment to the vocals and it adds emotion and humanity.
Queen are famous for all their live shows i.e. Live Aid 1985 said to be the best live rock performance ever. i like the video for this song also as it showcases Brian. Brian sang on his tribute song to Freddie called Only the Good Die Young. Very moving and sung beautifully. Full of emotion.
Mesmerizing. Another ballad from this collection from the film, The Highlander, is ONE YEAR OF LOVE. Mesmerizing too - even with only a lyric video, Freddie's vocals are a powerhouse. This song featured only John and Freddie...always a thread between them in efforts where they team up. Many Queen fans are fans of their lesser known gems...and there are some beauties out there!
Hey guys. A powerful song indeed. Live, these type of songs were always the most emotive. He shows how charismatic he is and why they are regarded as one of the best ever live groups. Thanks for reviewing.
I love this song. It was written for the movie The Highlander. In the studio video version of this song Brian and Freddie both sing. They have a full orchestra and a boys choir in that version. Very powerful.
Amazing! Thankyou for this reaction. They had something about them, what keeps your attention the whole time. Queens legacy lives on, and our dear Freddie was a once in a lifetime performer. Hope to see more! Much bless guys!
Definitely live. Honestly, off the top of my head, I can't think of a song where I prefer the album to the live performance. They are incredible live. Nice reaction, thanks!
I was 18 years old the first time I saw Queen in 1975 and fell in love, saw them several more times. Still in love 50 years later. The little voice crack makes him human, contrary to popular opinion
Hello, K&O - I agree that when I first heard "it's a kind of magic" - I thought kind of "meh" -- but I changed my mind when I saw it live... so with Queen, sometimes live makes the magic - This is powerful not only for Freddie's vocals, but for Brian - who wrote the song as part of the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" - thanks for your reaction!
"This world has only One sweet moment Set aside for us" I've had a long and happy marriage to one man, and I think more and more, as we age, that our sweet moment is catching up to us.
You both looked mesmerised. I like how much attention you pay. It's such a difficult song to sing live that its worth checking out the other live version. Budapest
Your feeling that "a kind of magic" album is different, is probably due to the fact that this is its inception is not a normal Queen studio album, and least not the usual type of "studio". These tracks were created bespoke as a commercial engagement with a film studio for the movie "Highlander". The album is a compilation of the film tracks. The film is brilliant, well worth watching if you haven't seen it before. Though notable for having the Scottish Highlander lead character being played by a French man, alongside side an Egyptian character being played by the very Scottish Sean Connery!
The live version is astonishing. I think that the Budapest version has the best vocals because he hits the top note actually going through 5 octaves which is almost impossible.
listen to this amazing artist Dimash ,he is from Kazakhstan and he sings S.O.S song in French and other his songs ,like Stranger, ADAGIO, Sinful Passion, Opera 2,All by my self, Hello and many more
Most of the songs on k of M were for the soundtrack Highlander While Freddie was alive it was only him and John who had no 1s 75 Freddie Bo Rap uk 91 again uk 92 no 2 US no US cash 79 US Freddie crazy little thing called Love 80 John another one bites the dust US They only considered it a no 1 if it was uk or US If it was also no 1 or did well in other territories they would say that as also... Innuendo was no 1 uk 91 but that was written by Freddie and Roger 91 Roger days of our lives didnt chart Re released Dec 91 after Freddie death with Bo Rap no 1 but not independantly Brian 2000 rock you with five live
In my opinion, Queen is best live with a few exceptions, like Bohemian Rhapsody and other songs too complicated to do live. All of the 80s catalogue were better live. The band were so good live by that time they couldn't put a foot wrong and in the 80s the pop/dance tunes would become rock tunes live. I Want To Break Free from Wembley '86 is a way better song than the studio one. The Budapest '86 concert Freddie's voice was better. It was earlier in the summer. Great reaction.

Amazing song.. Brilliant Queen

Hear, hear 👍
Queen is always best LIVE !!!

The Wembley version of ‘It’s a kind of magic’ is much better than the album version
We'll have to check that one out!
@@Musical_Vault seriously, do ! Richard is soooo right!
Absolutely!
Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal
That's such a great song 🔥🔥
No PHONES !!!! Just in the moment bring me back to the 70s/80s

Still such an incredible band. Would have been amazing to see live!
definitely live version to me Freddie always sing with his soul live
FANTASTIC? AND LIVE? there will never be better rock frontman or set of incredible musicians.
So true!
I love this song. It was written for the movie The Highlander.
In the studio video version of this song Brian and Freddie both sing.
They have a full orchestra and a boys choir in that version. Very powerful.

Ein absolutes Meisterwerk! Freddy unersetzlich.
Definitely live. Honestly, off the top of my head, I can't think of a song where I prefer the album to the live performance. They are incredible live. Nice reaction, thanks!
Yeahh, I think the fact so many of their live performances topped the studio versions, was what made them so great 🎶
Listen to, Somebody to Love, live at Montreal. It is fantastic.
Appreciate the suggestion!
All the songs on the album featured in the movie "Highlander" one of the lines in the film (about immortality) is "Hey, it's a kind of Magic"
I was 18 years old the first time I saw Queen in 1975 and fell in love, saw them several more times. Still in love 50 years later. The little voice crack makes him human, contrary to popular opinion
Very jealous! I managed to see part of Queen play with Adam Lambert a few years ago, but would have loved to see the full band live
@@Musical_Vault It's something I am so grateful to have as a wonderful memory. I'll never forget it.
Every time I hear this song I think of the Movie and TV series HIGHLANDER.
Hello, K&O - I agree that when I first heard "it's a kind of magic" - I thought kind of "meh" -- but I changed my mind when I saw it live... so with Queen, sometimes live makes the magic - This is powerful not only for Freddie's vocals, but for Brian - who wrote the song as part of the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" - thanks for your reaction!
Amazing song
The best live band is Queen, but Freddie is from out of this world, a true legend and their Music lives on for generations to come.
"This world has only One sweet moment Set aside for us" I've had a long and happy marriage to one man, and I think more and more, as we age, that our sweet moment is catching up to us.
Another great Queen song to check out is Liar at the Rainbow…
You both looked mesmerised. I like how much attention you pay. It's such a difficult song to sing live that its worth checking out the other live version. Budapest

Great stuff chaps ! 👍😃
Btw: it’s on the “Highlander” soundtrack. Yes… the band knew Freddy was dying.
There can be only one
Do 'now I'm here', from this same concert. Old song for Queen, absolutely rocking boss done in Wembley.
Thank you for reacting to who wants forever!! Can you please play =TOO much love will kill you every time.?

Most of the songs on k of M were for the soundtrack Highlander
While Freddie was alive it was only him and John who had no 1s
75 Freddie Bo Rap uk
91 again uk
92 no 2 US no US cash
79 US Freddie crazy little thing called Love
80 John another one bites the dust US
They only considered it a no 1 if it was uk or US
If it was also no 1 or did well in other territories they would say that as also...
Innuendo was no 1 uk 91 but that was written by Freddie and Roger
91 Roger days of our lives didnt chart
Re released Dec 91 after Freddie death with Bo Rap no 1 but not independantly
Brian 2000 rock you with five live
Just a heads up, each letter in the record company name EMI is pronounced separately.
Freddie's performance of this song in Budapest is actually much better vocally, as an fyi.
I love both the studio and live versions in equal measures though for different reasons. React to Jason Mraz - Song for a Friend
Such a great song 🎶🎶

The only band that sounds better live then studio.
its E as a spoken letter then M as a spoken letter and then I as a final separately spoken letter, Lol.
Like many of their songs, live vs the studio cut can feel like you’re comparing 2 different songs.
Label was Emi or EMI or E.M.I.
An these 2 r english?
