Shout out to Roger Taylor killing it on the drums & vocals. I can only name a handful of drummers that have the talent to pull that off. Every band member is the complete package. Roger really shines in "Somebody To Love".
Yes!!! He's the one I watch during this song.. and after realizing how much he does behind Freddy I try to watch and listen to him in every video. Freddy deserves the front man praise of course but all members of queen we're impressive yet seemed OK supporting Freddy.
Yes, I'm aware of Phil & Don 😊 and I have them planned. I just didn't was Rico to know yet. Surprising him is so fun. He will be doing videos from them very soon. Be on the lookout. Thank you so much! ✌🎵❤
Every member of this band has written multiple number 1 hits..... Freddie Mercury - Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are The Champions John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free and You're My Best Friend. Roger Taylor - Radio Ga Ga and A Kind Of Magic as well as These Are The Days Of Our Lives. Brian May - Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, and Who Wants To Live Forever? A collection of that much talent in one band is almost criminal.
"Criminal"? It's almost physically impossible. It should have collapsed into a black hole of talent, concentrating all human creativity into a singularity. I'm sure now-Doctor of Astronomy Brian May could explain it better.
My American view is that all 4 of them, individually, have been elected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They didn’t get much attention here after the video parade of some British show. Idiots over here just saw a bunch of dudes in dresses. This caused both brain cells to collide and come up with the assumption that Queen was a group of transvestites🙄
John Deacon Another one bites the dust and You're my best friend and more. And don't forget Fred dies killer queen that actually got them on the top charts and started it all for Queen!
You have to react to Queen's set at the 1985 Live Aid concert. One of the most important and greatest moments in rock history. It's about 20 minutes long but it is well worth the time.
"His voice is strong as hell". You're not lying. That's why every single cover of a Queen song ever done isn't as good as the original. It doesn't matter how good the person doing the cover is - there was only ever one Freddie Mercury.
It's hard to decide whether Freddy's musicianship or stage presence was more overwhelming. He could have made himself dictator, if he'd wanted to. I'm not at all sure we wouldn't all be better off if he had.
RIP Freddie. “It’s like being in church”. Think Freddie would have taken that as a huge compliment. It’s great to see the new generations enjoying what i grew up with. 👏👏
this song is soulful because its an homage to aretha franklin. freddie loved her and thus why this song has this gospel, church feel to it. great reaction
Freddie's favourite singer was Aretha and boy does it sound like it here. Just consider his story: quiet little Farrokh Bulsara, moving to England in the 1960s, back when racism was open and everywhere. He turned himself into Freddie Mercury. Everything about this is amazing but props to Roger Taylor on drums. There are other world-famous bands whose lead singers aren't as good as he is on vocals here, and he does it while hitting the shit out of those things. John Deacon holds it together on bass - the quiet man who wrote their biggest US hit Another One Bites The Dust - and then Brian May, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, playing the guitar he and he father made out some bits of wood and parts of a motorbike. What a band. What a fucking band.
While not minimizing Freddy's experiences with horrible bigotry in the slightest, I'd only disagree with you on one point there, and that's that English racism not being "open and everywhere" has ever been a thing. If anything, it's worse now than it's been in a long time. Even Starmer's Labour is calling for the corrupt Met to "shoot first and ask questions about racism later", even though they've repeatedly proven that they already do that, very enthusiastically.
THANK YOU! It’s more impressive considering they didn’t have any electronic assistance. No lip syncing, no overlay tracks. That is all the band and the Great Freddy Mercury. Thanks for reacting to this one!
Queen and Freddie Mercury (RIP) are a perfect match like no other! His voice is timeless and always on point. Great reaction/feedback video... Merry Christmas to you guys! Peace!
Queen never dissapoints, especially live,they will give their all ,showcasing everyone's talent. They're not just a talented Musician they're also well educated, the fact that the Lead Guitarist has a PHD in Astronomy,now we call him Dr. Brian May🤟. There a tons of songs that they made ,they made anthems like we will rock you and we are the champions,you gotta discover more you probably hear before, check out one of their Dope song with a great Bass Riff " Another One Bites The Dust studio version or Live from this comcert in Montreal. Thanks,love your reaction.I enjoy so far🤟🤟🤟🤟Merry Christmas 🎄New subbies here👑
Freddie had a degree in graphic art and designed Queen's logo. John Deacon had an advanced degree in electrical engineering, and built the amp (from parts he found in the trash) that Brian used to get the Queen sound. Roger Taylor had a degree in biology. And Brian with his degree in astrophysics, has worked with NASA on space projects. Also, all four are in the songwriter's hall of fame, and have written number 1 songs.
This is Freddie's gospel song so your references to Church are spot on. He so admired Aretha Franklin that this is his tribute to her style and class. It also was Freddie's favorite song to sing live and perhaps his favorite Queen song, period. This performance is outstanding and your reaction was perfect, what an honor to be able to still see these great performances so many years later. Thank you.
So you found the legendary band queen! Good for you 😊 Freddie is considered the goat of vocalists. Check out “queen at live aid” it’s considered their best performance ever. For real check it out you’ll love it.
I LOVE how, after that Ah-mazing opening run, Freddie says, “Ok, let’s do it”!!! Puts a smile on my face Every time. Every time! It’s so Freddie. Like he didn’t just DO something amazing. So good. ❤️
Freddie always takes you to church. True Legend. The greatest thing about Queen is that whenever you hear one of their songs you go, "Man, this is my favorite Queen song." So many hits and they're all equally amazing.
Freddie was an awesome performer and is so sorely missed . the band did a tribute concert for Freddie when he died and George Michael performed this song at the show and well, he stole the whole show right out , no one can ever do Freddie justice but George did a fantastic job singing this if you guys want to check it out . Loved your reaction and i think you both are wonderful bringing this music back to the forefront and reminding people how good music and artists were back in my day and bringing the younger generations to the music .
Seeing QUEEN live was always the best way...been to many of their concerts in the late 70s early 80s,,,always a great time,,When concerts were big and fun''
Thank you for reacting to this. I have to admit I’m loving your reactions to the older songs (just because I’m old). There will be many more suggestions of Queen songs to listen to, but please have a look at Save Me, again from Montreal. It shows the versatility of the group and the timing of Freddie singing and then moving to the piano is just something to behold. Keep it going from a new fan in the UK 👍🏻
This is one of my favorite performances, it's like 3 encores in one song! Great reaction, it's impossible not to fall in love with Queen after a live performance! I hope you continue the journey!✌♥️ MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
Love this song so much. When I grew up my brothers were huge Queen fans. Its just me now and I am so happy to see people still appreciate the beauty of Queen. If I may suggest Seven Sea of Rye. It makes me cry but its so strong. Freddie was a proper rockstar. Queen defined an era. Have a new sub
Now listen to the official video for this song. You hear all their harmonies. Both versions are amazing. Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and this song was his homage to her and her style. They referred to it as white gospel.
My favorite song My favorite performance. Been a Queen fan a long time Freddies vocals are unmatched all 4 of them create a wall of sound that no one can touch. You should do the video as well great reaction.
Queen öffnete Türen von denen einige noch gar nicht gebaut waren. Sie füllten STADIEN. Sie transportieren Gefühl, verbunden mit genialem musikalischen Talent! Die Band deren Musik über alle Zeit Bestand haben wird. ♥️
Brilliant reaction!! Queen were voted #1 live band by several rock magazines...and rightly so!! I've been a die hard Queen fan since 1980. You should stay on the Queen tracks because that's a fantastic journey!! Try White Queen at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 or You Take My Breath Away from Hyde Park in 1976. You're a great couple too. The dude is a nice and sincere guy and the girl is an oasis of serenity amidst the mostly loud and proud reactors out there. Keep it up! I subscribed!
the only band in the entire world of music both past and present that sounded just as good if not better live than in a studio pure talent from every member no autotune what so ever just raw talent like we will never see again R.I.P Freddy
Thanks for the terrific reaction. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for Freddie and the band. This band DOES have soul!!! Deacy on bass holding down the rhythm with Roger who kills on drums and adds his own amazing vocals and Brian May on guitar - his guitar "sings" and always gets a verse (and Brian sings and adds to the harmonies)... The talent here is overwhelming. I love the harmonies this band produces. Sometimes you will want to do a studio version of a song to really appreciate that part of their talent. The live performances were intended by the group to be unique and different from the studio versions. There is value in both. I would recommend next "Save Me" from the same 1981 show. It was written by Brian about a friend's breakup.
Freddie Mercury - musical genius, amazing musician, fantastic songwriter and greatest front man in rock history..... R.I.P. dear sweet Freddie. You are missed..... Next - you have to watch Queen's 20 minute set at the charity concert at Live Aid in 1985. Best 20 minutes in rock history. Queen stole the show.... These 4 original Queen members - Freddie, Brian, Roger and John were together for 20 years until Freddie's early death in 1991. They were together from 1971 until 1991..... so you have 20 years of studio videos, live performances and albums to enjoy. Every performance is different. And Queen sang all kinds of genres of music. Lots of surprises. Always fun and always amazing. Greatest rock band in history......
I see that Prince disc hanging on the wall behind you. If you're a Prince fan, you _NEED_ to see the cover of an old Beatles song called "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Jeff Lynne (lead singer of ELO), Tom Petty and Prince (among other musicians). Prince steals the show with his guitar solo at the end. BTW, rumor has it, Superman wears a Queen shirt.😉
That's a million percent on the list! I'd really like them to hear the original first by The Beatles, one ELO song with Jeff, and one Tom Petty song, (I'm assuming they've heard a Prince song), so they can fully appreciate the talent on that stage. You'll definitely see that legendary performance on this channel. They are gonna freak over Prince's guitar solo. Great suggestion!
Thank you so much for this reaction ❤️ another good one is "under pressure live at Wembley stadium" .......... Merry Christmas 🎄 and have a blessed day 🌻
Now that you have reacted to this classic Queen performance you need to check out a completely different side of them with "Love Of My life" from Wembley 1986, "White Queen" at the Hammersmith Video, and then each song on side Black of Queen II LP! Merry Christmas to you both!!!
Spectacular entertainment here . . .4 Queen musicians unmatched togetherness; Plus, Freddie unmatched performing excellence ... and you! Loved your unabashed appreciation. Great beautiful fun!
Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized. Make sure you give credit to Roger's backing vocals while drumming. Not many musicians has a backing vocals like him. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. Also check out "LIVE AID" ❤️🔥
Queen: Full Live Aid Concert. It's over 20 minutes long, but I have watched other reactions to it, and I promise you that you will not lose anyone clicking off during the whole reaction, despite its length. I actually watched this live on TV at a summer birthday sleepover when I was 12 years old. This Live Aid concert was held on July 13, 1985 and there were two concerts held for Live Aid on that same day: one in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA and the other London, England, UK. MTV had VJ hosts and cameras filming on both sides of the pond and they ran the concert live all day and night. MTV would switch from one concert to the other all day long: they'd show an artist playing in Philadelphia, then one in London, then back to Philly, then back to London ... all day, with interviews from the performers in between line-up changes. It was brilliant! This was back when MTV was at it's absolute best. Many bands and performers participated, including Queen. It was a benefit concert in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. Queen performed from Wembley Stadium in London, England and their performance is so legendary (considered the BEST performance of any performer at Live Aid) that a tagline is famously attached to it: "This is the only time in England's history that, for 20 minutes, the country was ruled by an entirely different Queen." *** Watch the crowd! Especially during Radio Gaga. Freddie had them in the palm of his hand. Complete crowd control - pay attention at 5:49. CROWD. CONTROL!!! Here is their set list from that concert: Bohemian Rhapsody 0:24 Radio Gaga 2:40 ------> Fun Fact: Lady Gaga took her stage name from this song. Ay-Oh 6:47 (interaction with the crowd) Hammer to Fall 7:34 Crazy Little Thing Called Love 12:20 We Will Rock You 16:01 We Are The Champions 17:20 Another fun fact: Freddie Mercury was quite sick that day with a throat infection and was advised by his doctor not to perform the concert. He did anyway ... and wow, did he KILL it! Link to the reaction here: ruclips.net/video/EjXetWK-Ur8/видео.html&ab_channel=RUclipsTest
Just stumbled upon your channel and have loved all your reactions! Thank you both for taking the time to entertain all of us. Merry Christmas and have a safe New Years!❤
Absolutely love seeing the younger generations getting enjoyment out of bands like this. This is my childhood. So much amazing music. You should try some pink Floyd if you haven't already. Comfortably numb is a good one to start with.
I'm not even an emotional dude and every time I hear freddie's voice it almost brings me to tears, what a hell of a musician, Queen is not just music, they're art.
This show was in Montreal. I was there and let me tell you, for a 17 years old going to her first concert, I was blown away!! They sounded better than the studio version. AMAZING!! And the drummer Roger T., what a excellent singer too. Loved every minute of that show.
My dad was lucky enough to see them 8 times in concert. One of his favorite bands. I envy that so much haha. One time would be a bucket list moment in my book!
Oh yeah, this is my favorite live performance. No one can sing better than Freddie. There are some who can sing as well, but not better. Just the most phenomenal, entertaining, talented front man of all time. Continue to RIP Freddie! Great reaction!
You just witnessed a true G.O.A.T. Live!!! Nobody can touch Freddie/Queen. R.I.P. Freddie. Even after all this time, we still love you too!! Please check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" both live and the video. "Love of my life". "In My Defense" and so much more. Obviously, you will recognize "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" Best band EVER!!!
Of course freddie is an incredible vocalist, but Brian may (lead guitar) and Roger Taylor (drummer) are both more than capable of filling in when needed, a good example of this is no one but you (only the good die young) which is a tribute to freddie after his death. Queen oozes talent, a truly unique band.
I suggest watching the studio version of Somebody to Love. That was also very amazing. This is a 1981 live and the studio version was 1976 (when freddie was young and could hit more high notes)
Freddie hit higher notes in this version then in the studio version. His voice just became heavier and darker, but he actually sang higher in the 80's. It is funny how people don't realize this. The highest note in the studio version is a G5, Freddie does more then one G#5 in this live version. People often don't understand what high notes really sounds like.
Great one guys. You two would have loved seeing this band live. In my humble opinion, probably the greatest live band, at least that I saw. I've seen a lot of great performers in my 63 years but nobody owned a stage like Freddie Mercury. I saw the Rolling Stones twice and Mick Jagger was one hell of a front man and both were incredible but I will throw my hat into the Freddie ring but Mick isn't too far behind. Both owned the stage. ☮️✌️💕
Thanks, Recklezz - yep - Freddie took us to church, right? (song was inspired by Aretha - and Fred said it was his favorite - you can see why) Gotta give it up for the BAND, as well -- look forward to more from you guys! Merry Christmas, Happy new Year - and also best to you and yours!
Shout out to Roger Taylor killing it on the drums & vocals. I can only name a handful of drummers that have the talent to pull that off. Every band member is the complete package. Roger really shines in "Somebody To Love".
Yes!!! He's the one I watch during this song.. and after realizing how much he does behind Freddy I try to watch and listen to him in every video. Freddy deserves the front man praise of course but all members of queen we're impressive yet seemed OK supporting Freddy.
He could absolutely do lead vocals for most bands out there.
Jennifer
You know one of drummers that can sing and play drums. His name is Don Henley of Eagles. Don sings iconic Hotel California live 1977
Yes, I'm aware of Phil & Don 😊 and I have them planned. I just didn't was Rico to know yet. Surprising him is so fun. He will be doing videos from them very soon. Be on the lookout. Thank you so much! ✌🎵❤
@@jennhurl I was fortunate enough to Eagles in concert live back in 2002
Every member of this band has written multiple number 1 hits.....
Freddie Mercury - Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are The Champions
John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free and You're My Best Friend.
Roger Taylor - Radio Ga Ga and A Kind Of Magic as well as These Are The Days Of Our Lives.
Brian May - Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, and Who Wants To Live Forever?
A collection of that much talent in one band is almost criminal.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this list.
Thank you for posting it. ❤🎵✌
"Criminal"? It's almost physically impossible. It should have collapsed into a black hole of talent, concentrating all human creativity into a singularity.
I'm sure now-Doctor of Astronomy Brian May could explain it better.
@@toddmathers5075 America centric view. If it's not a hit in America then it doesn't count? Arrogant.
My American view is that all 4 of them, individually, have been elected into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
They didn’t get much attention here after the video parade of some British show. Idiots over here just saw a bunch of dudes in dresses. This caused both brain cells to collide and come up with the assumption that Queen was a group of transvestites🙄
John Deacon Another one bites the dust and You're my best friend and more. And don't forget Fred dies killer queen that actually got them on the top charts and started it all for Queen!
You have to react to Queen's set at the 1985 Live Aid concert. One of the most important and greatest moments in rock history. It's about 20 minutes long but it is well worth the time.
Live Aid is a must.
They actually reacted to the We Are The Champions Live Aid performance a few days ago.
Facts!
Yes!!! 💁🏻♀️
I second this
"His voice is strong as hell". You're not lying. That's why every single cover of a Queen song ever done isn't as good as the original. It doesn't matter how good the person doing the cover is - there was only ever one Freddie Mercury.
You were right about the church. Freddie was a big Aretha fan, this was Queens tribute to gospel.
Rico nailed it! 💪🏽
Wow, a tribute I didn't know about that. very cool :)
There's a reason Queen is still relevant 40+ years later, the talent is undeniable.
Freddie Mercury's known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. One of the greatest frontman in rock music! Second to none!
It's hard to decide whether Freddy's musicianship or stage presence was more overwhelming. He could have made himself dictator, if he'd wanted to. I'm not at all sure we wouldn't all be better off if he had.
Not just in Rock Music. Just in music period!
RIP Freddie. “It’s like being in church”. Think Freddie would have taken that as a huge compliment. It’s great to see the new generations enjoying what i grew up with. 👏👏
this song is soulful because its an homage to aretha franklin. freddie loved her and thus why this song has this gospel, church feel to it. great reaction
No auto tune, they play their own instruments, write their own music. Great music.
Y'all going down the rabbit hole of Queen. Keep on going, they are an Amazing Band and one of my absolute favorite, they never disappoint!
There will never be anyone like Freddie! Amazing!
Freddie's favourite singer was Aretha and boy does it sound like it here. Just consider his story: quiet little Farrokh Bulsara, moving to England in the 1960s, back when racism was open and everywhere. He turned himself into Freddie Mercury. Everything about this is amazing but props to Roger Taylor on drums. There are other world-famous bands whose lead singers aren't as good as he is on vocals here, and he does it while hitting the shit out of those things. John Deacon holds it together on bass - the quiet man who wrote their biggest US hit Another One Bites The Dust - and then Brian May, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, playing the guitar he and he father made out some bits of wood and parts of a motorbike. What a band. What a fucking band.
Totally agree! ♥️
And fyi... Brian May has a doctorate degree in astrophysics !
While not minimizing Freddy's experiences with horrible bigotry in the slightest, I'd only disagree with you on one point there, and that's that English racism not being "open and everywhere" has ever been a thing. If anything, it's worse now than it's been in a long time. Even Starmer's Labour is calling for the corrupt Met to "shoot first and ask questions about racism later", even though they've repeatedly proven that they already do that, very enthusiastically.
Absolutely accurate
Was 3rd row center stage when I saw them in the early 80's. Absolutely amazing show live. Freddie was a master showman.
I'm SO jelly of you!! I would've love to have gone and seen Queen and Freddie Mercury live!!!!
THANK YOU! It’s more impressive considering they didn’t have any electronic assistance. No lip syncing, no overlay tracks. That is all the band and the Great Freddy Mercury. Thanks for reacting to this one!
It's so great to see young people find this music.
It really is!
Freddie had one of the best voices in history! The second voice in Roger Taylor, the drummer, he had a much higher voice, but a wonderful one!
Queen and Freddie Mercury (RIP) are a perfect match like no other! His voice is timeless and always on point. Great reaction/feedback video... Merry Christmas to you guys! Peace!
There is not such a thing called Queen and Freddie Mercury - he would immediately tell you so - he was the lead singer in the band called Queen.
You get an A+ for music appreciation. So many young people today don't get it, but you do. I saw Queen in 1980 and they didn't disappoint!
Queen never dissapoints, especially live,they will give their all ,showcasing everyone's talent. They're not just a talented Musician they're also well educated, the fact that the Lead Guitarist has a PHD in Astronomy,now we call him Dr. Brian May🤟. There a tons of songs that they made ,they made anthems like we will rock you and we are the champions,you gotta discover more you probably hear before, check out one of their Dope song with a great Bass Riff " Another One Bites The Dust studio version or Live from this comcert in Montreal.

So you found the legendary band queen! Good for you 😊 Freddie is considered the goat of vocalists. Check out “queen at live aid” it’s considered their best performance ever. For real check it out you’ll love it.
I LOVE how, after that Ah-mazing opening run, Freddie says, “Ok, let’s do it”!!! Puts a smile on my face Every time. Every time! It’s so Freddie. Like he didn’t just DO something amazing. So good. ❤️
Freddie always takes you to church. True Legend. The greatest thing about Queen is that whenever you hear one of their songs you go, "Man, this is my favorite Queen song." So many hits and they're all equally amazing.
Oh, the days of real music; incredible talent.
Totally agree with you!!!
You guys should check out their “Live Aid” performance. The entire world was watching that when it happened. Queen stole the show. 👍
You are at the very opening of the Queen rabbit hole. Love watching young people finding Queen for the first time. Great reaction!
and nooooo autotune. To add to this, all of Queen's live stuff is stellar.
Freddie was an awesome performer and is so sorely missed . the band did a tribute concert for Freddie when he died and George Michael performed this song at the show and well, he stole the whole show right out , no one can ever do Freddie justice but George did a fantastic job singing this if you guys want to check it out . Loved your reaction and i think you both are wonderful bringing this music back to the forefront and reminding people how good music and artists were back in my day and bringing the younger generations to the music .
Ohhh yes, Freddie has soul!! Nothing like a Queen concert!! Your faces and your reaction say it all !
I have this on my Playlist instead of the studio version. I ride around singing this one loud in the car! Lol. Great reaction! 👍🤍
I so appreciate your love for good true pure talented musicians, doesn’t matter the genre, music is food for the soul, all of it !!!!
There's Nothing like watching Freddie Mercury perform🤘
The late, all time great, Freddie Mercury!!! 🔥
Seeing QUEEN live was always the best way...been to many of their concerts in the late 70s early 80s,,,always a great time,,When concerts were big and fun''
This is live, no bloody auto tune and any of that crud, just shear talent, todays acts aren't fit to... well you know what I mean.
Straight up one of the best live performances of all time lol. It's that good
Thank you for reacting to this. I have to admit I’m loving your reactions to the older songs (just because I’m old).

ONE OF A KIND! FREDDIE HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES IVE EVER HEARD. THEY WERE AMAZING TOGETHER👑❤❤
Love seeing new people discover Queen and Freddie! Awesome music and Freddie was just incredible. So many years later and their music is still epic!
Love this song so much. When I grew up my brothers were huge Queen fans. Its just me now and I am so happy to see people still appreciate the beauty of Queen. If I may suggest Seven Sea of Rye. It makes me cry but its so strong. Freddie was a proper rockstar. Queen defined an era. Have a new sub
Such an adorable couple, younger than my children watching you two gives me hope
Freddie put a smile on your girls face the whole time! Lol
That's rare
I'm aging myself, but I was a freshman at UVM and went to this concert in Montreal. It was amazing! I still remember every song.
Now listen to the official video for this song. You hear all their harmonies. Both versions are amazing.
Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and this song was his homage to her and her style. They referred to it as white gospel.
My favorite song My favorite performance. Been a Queen fan a long time Freddies vocals are unmatched all 4 of them create a wall of sound that no one can touch. You should do the video as well great reaction.

Greatest singer writer performer always gave everything he had. He could play an audience like it was part of the band.
Freddie's voice is so strong that it goes over a terrific rock band playing behind him.
Love it. My favorite as well. The performance and the HD just makes it so… so great.
Roger is amazing on this - he’s my favourite drummer and probably vocalist too. So very under rated. Love his solo work too.
Thanks for the terrific reaction. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for Freddie and the band. This band DOES have soul!!! Deacy on bass holding down the rhythm with Roger who kills on drums and adds his own amazing vocals and Brian May on guitar - his guitar "sings" and always gets a verse (and Brian sings and adds to the harmonies)... The talent here is overwhelming. I love the harmonies this band produces. Sometimes you will want to do a studio version of a song to really appreciate that part of their talent.

Prince steals the show with his guitar solo at the end. BTW, rumor has it, Superman wears a Queen shirt.😉
That's a million percent on the list! I'd really like them to hear the original first by The Beatles, one ELO song with Jeff, and one Tom Petty song, (I'm assuming they've heard a Prince song), so they can fully appreciate the talent on that stage. You'll definitely see that legendary performance on this channel. They are gonna freak over Prince's guitar solo. Great suggestion!
you should also react to Save Me live in 1981 Montreal. My favorite version of the song!
Thank you so much for this reaction ❤️ another good one is "under pressure live at Wembley stadium" .......... Merry Christmas 🎄 and have a blessed day 🌻
Now that you have reacted to this classic Queen performance you need to check out a completely different side of them with "Love Of My life" from Wembley 1986, "White Queen" at the Hammersmith Video, and then each song on side Black of Queen II LP! Merry Christmas to you both!!!
FWIW, you two are now my favorite reactors, you look to really get the magnificence of Freddy Mercury and Queen! Thank you.
Thank you so much!!
Spectacular entertainment here . . .4 Queen musicians unmatched togetherness; Plus, Freddie unmatched performing excellence ... and you! Loved your unabashed appreciation. Great beautiful fun!
I wish I could subscribe twice and like this 10 times... I really am feeling your love\appreciation for straight legends. Keep it up bro...
Appreciate you so much!
Always a joy to witness people fall in love with Freddie Mercury. The best frontman who ever lived.
Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized. Make sure you give credit to Roger's backing vocals while drumming. Not many musicians has a backing vocals like him. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. Also check out "LIVE AID" ❤️🔥
I appreciate you two listening to one of the greatest bands to ever perform. One of the greatest front man, greatest voice, and greatest musicians.
Freddy Mercury is one of the best singers who ever lived. Queen is fire! They are straight up artistic geniuses. They are their own vibe! Top 5! 🤣🤣🤣
Queen: Full Live Aid Concert. It's over 20 minutes long, but I have watched other reactions to it, and I promise you that you will not lose anyone clicking off during the whole reaction, despite its length. I actually watched this live on TV at a summer birthday sleepover when I was 12 years old. This Live Aid concert was held on July 13, 1985 and there were two concerts held for Live Aid on that same day: one in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA and the other London, England, UK. MTV had VJ hosts and cameras filming on both sides of the pond and they ran the concert live all day and night. MTV would switch from one concert to the other all day long: they'd show an artist playing in Philadelphia, then one in London, then back to Philly, then back to London ... all day, with interviews from the performers in between line-up changes. It was brilliant! This was back when MTV was at it's absolute best. Many bands and performers participated, including Queen. It was a benefit concert in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. Queen performed from Wembley Stadium in London, England and their performance is so legendary (considered the BEST performance of any performer at Live Aid) that a tagline is famously attached to it: "This is the only time in England's history that, for 20 minutes, the country was ruled by an entirely different Queen."
*** Watch the crowd! Especially during Radio Gaga. Freddie had them in the palm of his hand. Complete crowd control - pay attention at 5:49. CROWD. CONTROL!!!
Here is their set list from that concert:
Bohemian Rhapsody 0:24
Radio Gaga 2:40 ------> Fun Fact: Lady Gaga took her stage name from this song.
Ay-Oh 6:47 (interaction with the crowd)
Hammer to Fall 7:34
Crazy Little Thing Called Love 12:20
We Will Rock You 16:01
We Are The Champions 17:20
Another fun fact: Freddie Mercury was quite sick that day with a throat infection and was advised by his doctor not to perform the concert. He did anyway ... and wow, did he KILL it!

Oh Freddie We Miss and Love You. All the Greats that are up with you, the Shows Must Be Incredible.😁 ❤🤘
This one was a tribute to Aretha Franklin who Freddie was a big fan of.
Just stumbled upon your channel and have loved all your reactions! Thank you both for taking the time to entertain all of us. Merry Christmas and have a safe New Years!❤
As far as writing, this was Freddie's favorite songs! Great reaction! 👑👍Have you ever listened to "Cool Cat "?
Love how you react to videos by comments alone most do not do this you are becoming one of my fav reactors
Thank you so much!!
Freddie passed my senior year in high school(Yes I old) and it BROKE MY HEART.😞
I can see the pure joy in both of your faces when you react to Queen. It is very nice to see. Queen is definitely one of the all time greatest bands.
Great reaction, guys. Pretty much a once in a lifetime performance - Queen, Freddie, and you. Thank you…
Freddie the genius, a great entertainer will go down in history with the greats, The Beatles, Elvis, Sinatra & MJ
Absolutely love seeing the younger generations getting enjoyment out of bands like this. This is my childhood. So much amazing music. You should try some pink Floyd if you haven't already. Comfortably numb is a good one to start with.
First time I see a huge smile on your girls face, and a lovely smile 😊.
Freddie also sings and writes opera. See barcelona by Freddie and Montserrat Caballe
I'm not even an emotional dude and every time I hear freddie's voice it almost brings me to tears, what a hell of a musician, Queen is not just music, they're art.
Some artists musicianship and talents dont stand the test of time. Freddie's certainly does
This show was in Montreal. I was there and let me tell you, for a 17 years old going to her first concert, I was blown away!! They sounded better than the studio version. AMAZING!! And the drummer Roger T., what a excellent singer too. Loved every minute of that show.
My dad was lucky enough to see them 8 times in concert. One of his favorite bands. I envy that so much haha. One time would be a bucket list moment in my book!
Queen is just EPIC! There will never be another band like them. I'm so blessed to have grown up during those times with such great music. LOVE QUEEN!
Oh yeah, this is my favorite live performance. No one can sing better than Freddie. There are some who can sing as well, but not better. Just the most phenomenal, entertaining, talented front man of all time. Continue to RIP Freddie! Great reaction!
I saw this concert tour in 1981 in Toronto. This is the first song, the beginning AND it got even better.
Such a talent never to be repeated. A true legend.
🤣 This one is my favorite is gonna be the new theme on every new Queen Reaction
We had the good music in the 70s and the 80s when they wrote the songs and also played the instruments and sang.
You just witnessed a true G.O.A.T. Live!!! Nobody can touch Freddie/Queen. R.I.P. Freddie. Even after all this time, we still love you too!! Please check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" both live and the video. "Love of my life". "In My Defense" and so much more. Obviously, you will recognize "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" Best band EVER!!!
I always enjoy your reactions. Your faces are brilliant as you listen to more of the song. Keep up the great reactions both of you.
Of course freddie is an incredible vocalist, but Brian may (lead guitar) and Roger Taylor (drummer) are both more than capable of filling in when needed, a good example of this is no one but you (only the good die young) which is a tribute to freddie after his death. Queen oozes talent, a truly unique band.
John Deacon is a great bass player and songwriter as well.
I suggest watching the studio version of Somebody to Love. That was also very amazing. This is a 1981 live and the studio version was 1976 (when freddie was young and could hit more high notes)
I Agree with this.
Freddie hit higher notes in this version then in the studio version. His voice just became heavier and darker, but he actually sang higher in the 80's. It is funny how people don't realize this. The highest note in the studio version is a G5, Freddie does more then one G#5 in this live version. People often don't understand what high notes really sounds like.
Great one guys. You two would have loved seeing this band live. In my humble opinion, probably the greatest live band, at least that I saw. I've seen a lot of great performers in my 63 years but nobody owned a stage like Freddie Mercury. I saw the Rolling Stones twice and Mick Jagger was one hell of a front man and both were incredible but I will throw my hat into the Freddie ring but Mick isn't too far behind. Both owned the stage. ☮️✌️💕
Several great performances from that Montreal show.
This is a live concert, no auto tune, synthesizers, just raw talent.
This was in front of 250,000 people. Queen live was amazing. More. You’ll love it !!
Thanks, Recklezz - yep - Freddie took us to church, right? (song was inspired by Aretha - and Fred said it was his favorite - you can see why) Gotta give it up for the BAND, as well -- look forward to more from you guys! Merry Christmas, Happy new Year - and also best to you and yours!
