Freddie was asked what his favorite instrument to play and he said " the Audience, Darling "
YES!!!
SAW QUEEN BACK IN THE DAY AND LOVE HOW U YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FEELING WAT I FELT 50 YRS AGO!
This may seem like no big deal now but, this was going out on satilite to millions, that's why he is playing to the cameras!
1.6 billion
And that's a problem?
I know I guy who was young and on the other side of the Iron Courtain when this was broadcast. Most Western media was banned in the USSR. But because of the nature of the cause, this wasn't. My friend said it was broadcast live, and Russians were blown away.
@@stef7258 realistic world wide audience figures are between 150 and 200 mil over the whole day
Also he was sick and was having trouble with his throat and still did amazing.
Freddy was recently named the No. 1 front man of all time!
Without a doubt #1
AND???

@@garth56 as if it was not a foregone conclusion? That's why just the and its like weall know this and what further info that we already k ow are you going to I part? BTW its true that sarcasm cannot be actively portrayed in words
@@hughgordon6435 Cool your jet's Bro... LOL
This is not Elvis song. This is Queen song written by Freddie to tribute to Elves
We meant he sounded like Elvis. Not necessarily that it is an Elvis song. Thanks for watching!
@PubDo i remember an interview he did where he said people thought it was an elvis song and that made him so happy,i'm sure elvis himself would have been a big fan of queen
You two are really awesome in such a beautiful mother/daughter relationship

I’ve watched that performance numerous times over the years and it still gives me goosebumps. Best live performance of all time in my opinion. Freddie was the best performer of all time too. RIP Freddie, thank you for entertaining us.
I still get goosebumps,too!
Best band ever ! Glad you sisters love them ! Queen has always been great - geniuses and such raw amazing talent ! I have loved them since the 70’s❤️❤️
20 greatest minutes in rock and roll history. A great day with great bands for a great cause, but Queen ended up owning it.
They were added last minute. Not a Queen crowd. Every band got 20 minutes. Queen went on hour 6. Most of the crowd new all the words to the set they did!! R.I.P. Freddie! You ARE MISSED!!
I don't think they were actually added last minute that was just to spice up the movie, although it was noted that freddie really didn't want to do it. R.I.P Freddie Mercury
@@imafknloser4268 they were added after all the tickets were sold out, but it wasn’t last minute.
They practiced to perfection knowing they had 20 minutes of performing. They performed 20 minutes 48 seconds! Powerful and speechless!!!
Freddie had a sore throat! Dr. told not to preform!
I love seeing young woman your ages appreciate Freddy and Queen...no one can move a crowd like Freddy! He's the GOAT!
FREDDIE 👑✊🇬🇧
I'm just 16 and I adore queen
@@Kookiepookie2025
I’m 13 and have loved Queen all my life. 😄 if only I had a time machine.
Yes! he and MJ!!!
@@EmmaRiddle543 im 11 and im a Queen Fanboy 4Evah!
so you guys reacted to the "live Aid by Queen" is considered the best live perfomance of all time
Queen was a late addition to the list of performers booked for the concert and most people had bought their tickets not knowing they would be there. It was during their second song (Radio Gaga) that the other acts watching from backstage realized Queen had stolen the show.
Yep!
Lady Gaga loved Radio Gaga so..... hmm Lady Gaga!
Brian does the harmonies as well, but they never show Roger ( the drummer ) on camera. Hitting all those high harmonies. Also singing in unison with Fred at times. To create the overall rich, full, sound. Brian's guitar work is nuts. That said. I feel like Roger was completely ignored by the camera. Even Deacy is on camera singing.
Roger is highlighted in Lap of the Gods at the Rainbow! Amazing falsetto! Check it out!
Yeah Roger has an amazing voice too, so underrated.
And now you two lovely ladies know where Lady GaGa got her name from, it's the second song from this set, Radio GaGa.
All right! ... ALL RIGHT!!! ... And there you go, 80 thousand people right in the palm of his hand. Man, I SOOO want to 80s back...
Watch the Green Day concert where the whole crowd sings Bohemian Rhapsody when the band is on break it's amazing, if you see the clouds in the background I swear that's Freddie looking down watching
When Queen had been together for 13 years, in an interview Freddie attributed their longevity to the fact that all four of them wrote very different styles of songs and they all had equal input into the music. For this concert, Freddie wrote Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Little Thing Called Love ( in about 10 minutes in the bath, Freddie said), Roger wrote Radio Gaga, and Brian wrote Hammer to Fall, We Will Rock You, and We Are the Champions. This is the only band I know of that all of their members wrote hit songs. They also also all held college degrees. And Freddie designed the Queen logo. Cheers ladies, you're adorable!
Wow that’s amazing! So much natural talented!!
Only band to have all members in the rock and roll hall of fame 🤗
Freddie wrote We Are The Champions
And it's Dr Brian May..as he has a PhD in astrophysics
He did love his baths! If you haven’t you should read Jim Hutton’s book Mercury and me such a beautiful book to his time with Freddie the last 7 years of his life infact Freddie took him to this concert and it was the first concert Jim ever went to! Reading that book I fell in love with Freddie more in real life he was quiet and timid and insecure and to everyone else he was everything!
There were 100,000 fans thereincluding the royal family...Freddie's biggest musical idol was Aretha Franklin..talked about her in interviews and on stage...sadly though he never got to meet her
Yes, the crazy little thing called love song sounds like Elvis's style because was a tribute that freddie wrote for him
What a pair of lovely faces! I was watching this on TV at the time. I lived a couple of miles away in Wembley. I couldn't get in but you could hear the music in the area from the stadium
When you get a crush on Freddie, when Queen feels like family up there, you find you get such JOY out of it.
Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer who ever lived!
Great reaction! It was such an important gig and Queen came on and tore the house down! Up there with the best live performances of all time ❤️👍
I saw Queen at Wembley on July 11th 1986, Freddie's penultimate live performance. Wembley was packed full with 80,000 people. It remains the best concert I've ever been to 35 years later. Love your reactions, you're both stunning. Makes a happy man feel very old
Did you notice Brian plays 3 different guitars during Crazy Little Thing? He starts off on acoustic guitar, switches to a black telecaster and finishes on his Red Special. Freddie wrote this as a tribute to Elvis, 10 minutes in the bath tub..with a guitar..as you do when you’re in the bath...if you’re Freddie. What a gorgeous man he was, still terribly missed and always will be. Thanks you people like you who watch these videos, keeping the music alive. ❤️❤️ I love Freddie Mercury ❤️❤️. Please check out Now I’m Here live at Wembley next
Brian wrote the guitar solo for CLTCL
not Freddie
@leona I bet it was never boring in his home,!I don't think he composed a lot fully on guitar but this was one and ogre battle
@@RoverWaters I was referring to the song, not just the guitar solo. Freddie wrote the song
@@leonarae8496 yes he did, but some people assume he wrote everything on the song.
Awesome reaction guys! There was around 72k people. This was not really a Queen crowd per say. This concert was done for charity, to rise money for a famine crises in Ethiopia. Queen were only announced when all of tickets for this concerts were already sold. That is what makes it even more amazing, 58 artist performed that day. Everyone only had 20 minutes to perform, on the same stage, with the same sound. A lot of big artists performed on the day. This is biggest concert of all time, there was 72k people at Wembley and 92k people at JFK stadium in Philadelphia. This concert was watched by 1.9 billion people around the world at the same time, it was about 40% of the earth's population. We will never see anything like this again very soon. Queen stole the show. Live Aid is now mostly remembered for Queen's performance, and these were not all Queen fans. For another great performance check out the White Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 th-cam.com/video/f8usNj4x9NA/w-d-xo.html.
You are right in that it was not a Queen crowd per se making their achievement all the more remarkable.
Some people got VERY rich that day as that stadium held 100,000 without those endless thousands , on view, on the pitch. Even if you subtract 30,000 for areas closed behind the stage that is still 70K + All those you saw..lol
Yet just about everyone knew every word in the lyrics. I was at home with my two 2 yr olds, my 5 yr old niece and grade school sister. We all jammed out that night. Even my parents enjoyed it...lol.
That's insane, 40%, for sure never will happen, I love how the 800s was so much about people comming together.
@@teijaflink2226 that isn't true
BBC says 400 million watched live
folk story
1.9 billion is just hype, not real
Beautiful reaction, from beautiful ladies !!!. Freddie admired singers like Elvis, Montserrat Caballé and Aretha Franklin, for example in one concert live at Montreaux, he played with the crowd singing with Aretha´s style. This man not only was a genius ... he had gooood taste.
Im glad you liked it ladies. This was the greatest musical performance in history.
Freddy was just naturally...EXTRA! He embodied his music. No Auto tune, no lipsyncing... he was an artist to his core and we have lost a treasure.
Brian May the guy on the red guitar is also a Doctor of Astrophysics and has an IQ of 170
I've seen this 100 times and I still get goosebumps. Great reaction.
That's what I love. All other performers performed their music leisurely, but Queen gave it their all!!!!
Great commentary girls, Queens sound engineer was in control of the sound levels for the whole concert due to local authority orders, when Queen came on stage he turned up the sound/volume making them louder!
If you want to hear the crowd singing bohemian rhapsody you should watch this: th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html (and yes, this is the green day crowd at hyde park in london)
Thank you for appreciating the music from my era. If you ladies want to see the ultimate guitar solo, go look up Freebird from Leonard Skynard…. Enjoy. Love Freddie… RIP
Maybe next reaction is Who wants to life forever live in wembley 1986!
Luv the Live in Budapest of the same song.
I was at that concert @Wembly
He had laryngitis and his doctor told him not to sing but he did it anyway
You can hear it in his voice several times but a 75% Freddy = 150% most anyone else.
G.o.a.t ❤
@@tragicdeyz2641 he has so much effortless power in his voice
Everyone knows this.
@@susanorchard1994 no not everyone I've seen a lot of people that don't know this and even people I know personally that didn't know this
amazing saw queen 50 yrs ago and i felt then wat u people are feeling now i have all thier albums and shows how universal music is that u young people get it and feel it!
Freddie wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 10 minutes while taking a bath (the idea came to him and he yelled for someone to bring him a guitar). He only used 3 chords to write it claiming it was because there wasn't much room in the tube. It was a tribute to Elvis and his rockabilly style.
BTW - all the tickets to Live Aid had been sold BEFORE Queen was announced as being on the venue. This was not a Queen audience. Most of those in the audience were younger and more fans of Madonna or Wham than Queen but Queen was able to capture them. They stole the show.
FYI - LIVE AID was a duel-venue music concert held jointly at Wembley in London (72,000) and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (100,000). It ran for over 16 hours with some 60+ musical acts that were broadcast worldwide using 13 satellites (something that had never done before) with a broadcast audience of 1.5 Billion to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
SUPERB WATCHING YOUR REACTION TO THE CONCERT 72000 PEOPLE WERE THERE INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY WIFE WHAT A DAY WE LOOK BACK ON IT NOW AND THINK THAT WE WERE IN A PIECE OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING WATCHING ALL YOU KIDS LOOKING BACK AT WHAT WE DID AT YOUR AGE BLESS YOU BOYH STAY SAFE AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LIVES ✨🎵🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤🎸🎷🎹🎹
Funny thing is his doc told him not to perform because he had an infection that was effecting his voice but Freddie was not about to let his fans down and ended up giving one of his best performance ever.
One thing I’d love to see is your reaction to the official video for I Want To Break Free - it was quite controversial in the USA, while in Britain we found it fun. It would be interesting to see; it’s a good one to react to blind, because it has some surprises
Queen had more stadium experience than all the other bands that day AND they still practiced like crazy... they really cared to give us their all. Every minute of this set has me levitating...such brilliant men. Seemed like the other bands just showed up... Queen blew the roof off!
Freddie always loved to pose for the crowd to take photos.
And to stand out even for people further back they said he started it with ibex
The bushy haired guy in the white shirt playing guitar is Brian may and he still plays to this day. That rhymed, not intentional.
in fact, Brian may play everyday. ;)
Levi’s never sang crazy little thing called love by the way. Freddy Mercury was a huge fan of Elvis and after he died he wrote this song in ‘elvis style’ in his honour. Because Freddie wrote it for him as a tribute, elvis tribute acts sing this song and now Americans think elvis wrote it but nope, sadly elvis was dead a couple years before this came out.
There is an amazing video of a huge crowd waiting for a Green Day concert singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" before the show.
I was at the concert I was 12 years old a year later I see them in there it’s a kind of magic tour in Wembley 86. Two of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced in my life and I’ve been to many of the worlds greatest concerts I’ve been very lucky in that aspect of my life.
I grew up in Philadelphia and when down to JFK Stadium where the other half of the show was. It was a great day all around. July 13th, 1985 was a great day in music history!
No mobile phones to record with + Freddie Mercury = attentive, engaged, enthusiastic crowd!
Honestly I think if he were to come back to life and perform again the phones would not be an issue. I am a millennial with a mild phone addiction and nothing is stopping me from LOSING IT for Freddie. Literal legend.
How can you NOT love Queen and FREDDIE? (We miss Deacy too.) So glad you two ❤ Queen. Glad the world 🌎 Loves Queen and we will NEVER stop loving Freddie!! 🤟🏽🙌✌🏾
The first song is his good bye letter to his mum.
During Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Brian actually used three different guitars. 12 string acoustic at first, then a telecaster, then the red special at the end.
try listening to "green day crowd sings bohemian rhapsody"
Loved this reaction! Thank you! If you enjoy Freddie's tone (and who doesn't) check out some of his vocal diversity. I would recommend the studio versions of Cool Cat which has Freddie singing in falsetto and a song called Seaside Rendezvous. The latter having several vocal gymnastics from Freddie and Roger that has them sounding like musical instruments. Neither song will get many requests but I assure you Queen fans will appreciate. As will the both of you. Cheers!
Awesome reaction ladies💖💕👑please react to Queen Wembley 1986:

Such a good reaction you guys, the actual attendance at Wembly Stadium, London on 13th July 85 was around 75k but as many as 1.9 billion watched the whole event (including Philadelphia) live.
Freddie’s Dr told him not to go to liveaid cuz he had voice problems. But this is one of the best ever. I wish I could have seen them live. But I was a kid in the 80s
It shows how awesome Freddie was that so many reactors assume that he is covering and Elvis song! He wrote this original song in tribute to Elvis in10 minutes in his bath! How amazing was Freddie to come up with a song to tribute to Elvis that everyone thinks was Elvis?! Amazing! So versatile!
6:10. Interesting to hear you say that since they actually did songs for movies. Check out the music they did Flash Gordon, 'Princes of the Universe' from Highlander and 'One Vision ' from Iron Eagle.
A couple of old age pensioners in the UK here. We saw Queen's performance on the TV in 85 and were blown away by it. Short but sweet. Still the best live performance we've ever seen. We both loved looking at your reaction to the show. You're two beautiful girls.
hi ladies,lovin' your reactions :).....further to what Zenobia's said below(all true) it's staggering to think Queen weren't even originally on the original bill...LiveAid's instigators, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure,didnt particularly like Queen and were added later...Queen's career was on a slide,Bo' Rap' had been 10 years earlier,and their album sales were in decline...Z is right,everybody had strict 20 min slots and nearly everybody kinda lamely went through a few of their hits rather shoddily with a few sound probs here and their..only 1 stage so setting stuff up for diff acts was tricky...Queen realised it could be a great chance and rehearsed furiously in the days leading up to Saturday,checking their timings to get as much as possible in and be tight....and they killed it....it was a beautiful day and Queen stole it...they never looked back after that until the end.Cheers nemaste Ken
1.9 billion watched this live across the world in 156 countries
greatest front man of all time, sorry Mick. I knew you guys were in for a ride while you watched this. Great reaction ladies.
What makes the crowd interaction even more amazing is this concert wasn't even a Queen audience...they were there to see all the different acts on the same day! Shows what a performer and incredible talent Queen and Freddie Mercury are! Please react to more Queen songs, I really enjoy seeing them!
All his concerts were like this he wasn't suppose to perform but he went against Dr's orders they were the best band that played that day all 4 are what made QUEEN
Happy New Year Ladies .... you two are adorable. All the artists were given 20 min each and Queen took it seriously & practiced for a week or so to get their 20 min set perfect. Most of the audience didn’t know Queen was even going to be there. Freddie was told not to perform cuz of the nodules in his throat!! Hell no - Queen did & it went down in history as one of rock’s greatest performances. It was truly Freddie’s day!!! HAMMER TO FALL was used in the TV series “Stranger Things” recently. WE DO LOVE FREDDIE!! Let’s give a big shout out to Brian, Roger, and John who are brilliant musicians themselves. 💕👑 Btw, the bending over with his bum to the audience is Freddie’s way of saying “kiss my #ss” to their former money stealing manager!! 😂 You guys need to do LOVE OF MY LIFE live in Rock n Rio 1985.
Fun fact# that song radio Gaga is where lady gaga got her alias name, because lady grew up listening to queens songs especially that radio Gaga song.
Since U both are Huge Queen/Freddie Mercury fans...I just know U would love the “rock opera” duet he did wth opera star Montserrat Cavaleri..in singing “Bercelona”..the outdoor version, if U can find it...I hav a feelng that U both would enjoy it very much..
Its was once said by a British journalist. That for 21 minutes in 1985 england was ruled by another QUEEN 👑
and he was wrong. ... the whole World was ruled by one Queen. life stopped all around the world to watch and hear freddie.
Here is some history for you about Queen: 1) Freddie Mercury was sick the doctor told him not to sing, but he went against doctors orders and scarf down some vodka and performed 2) Lady gaga got her name from that song radio gaga because she love queen she is a big fan of Freddie Mercury 3) Queen stole the show and some people who was there did not want to go after them because they know they put on a show. Legends never die Freddie Mercury is & always be a legend
Freddie had a bad throat infection that day, the doctor advised him not
to go on. Freddie said it felt like glass was in his throat, but he
managed to give the greatest short concert in history.
Why does everyone go on and on about Freddie having a throat infection?
@@susanorchard1994 I wiil repeat my self Freddie had a bad throat infection that day, the doctor advised him not
to go on. Freddie said it felt like glass was in his throat, but he
managed to give the greatest short concert in history.
At Live Aide, there were not only fans of Queen, and still ALL clap and sing together. That was pop history in the making.
If you want to see some serious crowd interaction watch Under Pressure live from Wembley he does this for at least 2 minutes make sure you don't talk at the very end because he does something really funny
The story goes that either David Bowie or Elton John were due to go on next and as Queen came off stage said something like, "you bastards, how am I meant to follow that"!
Hahahah 😂😂 that was a phenomenal performance so we feel them.
David Bowie
If David f'n Bowie couldn't follow THAT... that means something.
love queen one of my favorite bands i first heard them when i was 14 in 2004
Beautiful, amazing performance! Its an amazing part of music history. Thankgod we have footage and videos, so we can still enjoy this. Hope to see more Queen darlings, and Much bless to You.
Love your reaction. Keep it up!
Elvis died in 1977. Crazy Little Thing Called Love written in 1979 by Freddie. Took 10 mins while in his bath. Tribute to Elvis
Queen was one of many artists/ bands to play this concert. They stole the show!
The drinks on the piano are water, tea with honey and beer
GREATEST Live Concert to this date!!
the fact that he had a throat infection at the time and still sang like this is absolutely amazin
“We’re still gonna be doing queen because we love him”………….
„You take my breath away” live at hyde park next? It’s a great one!!
This to me is like a confession song but does it such a beautiful way
For the olympics there were only 3 satellites streaming and for live aid, there were 13 satellites
And queen rocked it
Freddie had a cold that week and still did all that
Great reaction. Please do more Queen soon. Now I’m Here live at Wembley, White Queen live at Hammersmith 1975 and Who Wants to Live Forever live in Budapest: Wembley is great but Budapest is better.
FREDDIE MERCURY O maior cantor de todos os tempos uma verdadeira LENDA
All languages!!!
Awesome reaction!!! Do you guys think you can react to some Michael Jackson performances :)
If you have not reacted to "Love of My Life" live at Wembley you have to! You will see Freddie with the entire crowd in the palm of his hand! Thank you for the reaction!
Love how Freddie gets 200,000 people to do his vocal warm-up
Freddie the goat
Great reaction ladies. :) My husband and I were stationed in England in 1985. This fundraiser lasted days and although we weren't able to attend the concert in person, it was televised 24/7 for the length of time the fundraiser was held. We watched as much of it as we could (when we weren't on duty) and I'm so glad I was able to be a distant (but close) participant in this iconic and historic event. 80s music is the best and Queen one of the best of all time. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing!! And watching 🙂💗
Great reactions "Beauties", Freddy (RIP) is up there with the Legends
Great reaction. Enjoy watching your faces. Glad you talk about what you think of it. All four guys are
Master musicians. Watch their live performances for the best reactions.
Freddie Mercury will always remain the King of Queen. Best rockstar ever, he is a gift. However, another singer is walking along his lines and his name is Dimash Kudaibergen, he is a singer from Kazakhstan. Freddie would have been very proud of Dimash, had the former still been alive. I would suggest you should check out Dimash Kudaibergen.
Great reaction, authentic, respectful and enthusiastic! Well done
Thank you 💕
Queen also performed at the iheart radio music festival with Adam Lambert. That one was good as well. You should check it out
Completely loved your reaction.......Crazy Little thing called Love wad a tribute to Elvis........some people say that P.T.BARNUM was the Greatest Showman of all time........I think not
