Brian said quite recently that the song was about Freddie who was going through a bad breakup but he didn't say this at the time to respect his privacy. One of the things I love about this performance is the difference you can hear between Brian's piano style and Freddie's. One of my favourite Queen songs (or at least it is today.)
"Freddie Mercury and his stage presence is immeasurable to this day." Very true. By the last song of a concert, NO-ONE was sitting. Saw them in the early 80's. Recommend: Somebody to Love live, Who Wants to Live Forever live.
Thanks, Mash! Brian, Brian, Brian!! his song, his start on keys with guitar in lap - the smoothest transition ever when Freddie goes to piano and Brian picks up the guitar solo... I love Freddie a lot, but this was always a BAND - everyone deserves full credit for their contributions - hope to hear more of your reactions -
This is such a great song, I find myself singing it often, it just sticks in my head. I only got to go to a Queen concert once as it was really hard to get tickets in Los Angeles because they would sell out almost immediately. It was my favorite concert of any I ever attended and I have attended all the top tier rock bands concerts over the years. The energy as well as the spectacle of the performance was beyond fantastic. Who ever was the person who gave the thumbs down for this video has to be a hater and a troll. This is just a fantastic presentation of this song. Very nice reaction, thank you.
Queen has such amazing songs. I love how Brian and Freddie switch places so Brian can bust out the guitar! He has the best licks. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is also a fun one, and much more upbeat. Also check out their Live Aid performance. Freddie has such charismatic command of every crowd. RIP to a legend. To combine your movie and music reactions, check out Highlander and Flash Gordon, both with soundtracks performed by Queen.
Nice reaction to a beautiful song, an amazing performance and a genuine singer and musician. Please, check out White Queen at Hammersmith 75. It's another ballad written by Briand sang perfectly by Freddie and dont't forget Roger and John who gave their best into it as well.
Awwww man - Thanks for reminding me that this was exactly 10 years before Freddie passed away. 🥺😢😩 The concert was filmed on 35mm & it was originally intended to be a tour in itself, by a company called Mobilevision that was essentially a traveling IMAX. The audience mics were brought down which contributed to a false idea in some viewer’s minds that the audience was bored & unreceptive. The director managed to own the rights to the footage. But in 2007, Queen bought back the rights resulting in the CD/DVD Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid.👏👏👏 Great reaction thank you so much! 😁😁
Loved this Reaction!!! Would you please react to some more Montreal concert songs please? The whole Concert is a gem and I am damn sure that you'll be amazed!!
He died exactly 10 years after this performance? Way to bring down the crowd, Ash! Talk about suckerpunching us in the feels! ;-) All kidding aside, I was still a student when they announced his death on the news and I remember watching interviews and videos all night long on several channels. 30 years has passed now and it still stings. Another great post. Much love from the sunny beaches of Florida.
I saw them on this tour, September 1980 in Madsion Square Garden, this song was the last one on The Game album and of my favorites. And YES they sound that amazing in concert.
Nice reaction as always. No autotune, no miming, just pure talent :) I was actually in Montreal in 2011, 30 years after this at a U2 concert! Great city to visit too. You should watch/react to the Queen Live Aid concert from 1985. :)
Great reaction! I like your attention to detail. You should check out Queen live at Montreal, Queen live at the Bowl Milton Keynes 1982 or Queen live at Wembley 1986, for some great concerts! Something you will also enjoy to react to is Who Wants To Live Forever Queen live at Wembley 11th July 1986 (Friday version).
If the need arises to sing along to a queen song you must always indulge😉 Queen was the first band i ever got into, sadly Freddy died soon after so never got to see them live, the first song i noticed was the video of breakthru
Thank you for doing this wonderful reaction. Also loved your reaction to Under Pressure. Queen has a huge catalog. I have been their devoted fan since 1970 when I was in junior high in New York, and saw them in concert in the ‘70’s before they became mega superstars. Would love for you to do more Queen reactions. Thanks!
This entire concert was off the chain! In particular, their rendition of Somebody to Love is legendary and easily found on TH-cam. HIGHLY recommended! Additionally, I'd recommend Cold Stone Crazy, live from The Rainbow. Proto speed metal.

What a singer that man was. A once in a life time talent.

More queen
Arguably the greatest Queen song 🎸
I was lucky enough to see Queen about a dozen times, from the early 1970s to the last time at Wembley in 1986.
Wow. You are lucky!
Where did you see them?
@@angelabaiers5055 Hammersmith, Hyde Park, Wembley Arena, Leeds, Germany, Wembley Stadium are the ones I can remember!
OMG!!! For real??? You are so lucky, truly blessed!!!

Her face when Brians guitar goes harmonic!!
My dear, dear Freddie. I miss you every day.
Don't you just love Queen and Freddie, timeless music, legend band. Nothing more beautiful than natural beauty.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MORE QUEEN!!!
Voted the best live act of all time. They certainly knew how to put on a performance!

You are so right. I was a kid when Freddie passed away, and every time I think of it, it hurts, a lot

I should have shouldn’t I?? 😌👌🏽
Queen indulgence is mandatory!! 😁
I was 23 when he passed and I still get emotional when I hear him sing

Live Aid 1985, please… That’s amazing
Just think he was this amazing without the help of "Auto-Tune!"
Freddie Mercury is Indian Parsi, and the rest of the band members are British
Freddie was British from birth, hes ethnicity was persian.
@@RoverWaters no he wasnt
@@semiribrahim8956 born Farrokh Bulsara in Stone Town in the British protectorate of Zanzibar.
Yeah rock on and be in sync yippy
Superman never beat his wife.
Saw them August 1980 the game tour in Indianapolis IN. And again in 1982
Fun fact. Clark Kent wears a Freddie Mercury T-shirt.
❤ yours reactions! Your Brazilian subs. :)
Thank you so much Pedro
You should react to the movie “Follow That Dream” with Elvis
Have you covered queen at live aid 1984
Freddie origine indiane i genitori erano indiani parsi
You lost me when I noticed you listening with only one earbud :(
