I am so glad and I feel so privileged that I was able to see them live 7 times!!!! I also was at the Freddie Mercury tribute at Wembley in '92. One of the most special days of my life!!
Amazing, I wish I could have been there. He is amazing, and had the audience in the palm of his hand. Such stage personality and an amazing personality all around. Rest easie Farrouk aka Freddie. We will always love you and treasure the gifts that u sent us
Why do I keep watching these things!? It's borderline heartbreak. Has anyone ever thought what the music industry would be like had Freddie lived? He was so brilliant in every way. Queen forever!
Welcome to the club, he has been in my heart since the age of 6 and the only celebrity i actually shed tears for , ( the truth) 1991 was the worst year of my life, my best friend drowned my girlfriend had an abortion ( i wasn't told she was pregnant because i was grieving my best friend) and then in November Freddie died.
Mojopin70 so sorry for your losses and I am beyond devastated for you that your girlfriend did that is she still with you because you deserve better than someone who would do that that is your child too she took that away from you and that had to be the worst of them all because the friend dying was an accident Freddie Dying was illness but that was a choice someone made to end a life I hope she is your
Only Freddie's body has died. He was a musical genius and therefore,his spirit comes across as sound waves into your ear as you listen to the unique sound of Queen. Freddie poured his soul into their music. As long as their recordings survive,so does Freddie. So much talent. Smh
I'm in my 70's and I didn't think I could be moved as much as I have been by viewing all I can find on QUEEN... Wow what a wild trip I've had and loved every minute and of course feeling very sad at the same time, but I seem to keep coming back again and again to find more clips etc. Brian May says he feels Freddie is still around (in spirit) and I think that's just beautiful Truly an Amazing performer..Thank You
Ugh, Rog's face as he talks about Freddie feeling something wasn't right...😭 He looks as if he's going to burst into tears right as he pauses...Dear Freddie, I hope you realized just how loved you were and still are by fans and your brothers in arms ❤.
Freddie Mercury was so much more than a rock star! Giant is a talent, he was a genius! The Queen began with her and ended with her. Freddie was the Queen's heart, engine and glue Unforgettable!

I hope Freddie knows how much he is Missed and Loved, by all. Truly a Amazing Singer and Entertainer. May your Spirit fly High above us all. Xxoo
Freddie was just so charismatic and he was the ultimate professional. All of them were. They were so talented and could have let their egos get the best of them but they remained humble thru all of the fame. ❤️ and wow these guys really put on a show. How I wish I’d been able to attend a Queen concert when Freddie was still with us!
I love these guys SO MUCH! I love their voices!! When they sing, when they speak... Freddie sounds playfully naughty, John sounds calm & peaceful, Brian just oozes intelligence, and Rogers sounds like a sexy badass :D
Who is 'here' in may 2018,... and still think the greatest singer artist is not with us anymore. I hope Freddie is somewhere, in a good place where his 'public' is still enjoying him. #ForeverFreddie
I remember hearing Queen II in high school in the mid 70s. They werent getting airplay on the radio relatively unknown but me and my mates were raving about how amazing they are and how they were gonna be FUCKING HUGE. You just knew way back then you were hearing something special a unique talent long before they started writing all those massive hit songs that marked them as iconic with no equals. We were playing the album saying listen to this these guys are gonna be big, before anyone even heard of them. Will never forget that looking back spotty teenagers that KNEW something the rest of the world was yet to discover!
I was born in the 80s I almost wish "I had never been born at all" to much heartbreak and pain, at least music helps some soul still survive in this world T_T
Queen was my all time favorite band. Had the chance of seeing them perform live 15 times. 13 with Freddie and twice with Paul Rodgers. Its a shame that John Deacon has not come out of retirement to play again with his old band mates but just don't know the circumstances surrounding this reason. They were and still are the best live act ever to perform and I still get a pleasure playing their music today. Its great to see new generations of kids growing up and picking Queen as a band to listen to.
Saw them as a backup for Hoople. At the Garden for Night at the Opera ..Day at the Races..We will rock you tour and Hot space tour and twice with Paul Rodgers in Jersey...went to multiple shows wouldn't you if your favorite band came to town? Tickets were a lot less expensive those days. I'm 55
Freddie and Queen continues to make an impact. My 1yr and 3 month son claps when I show him Radio Gaga and gets mad when I try to turn off the phone. He loves this song and recognizes it easily.
I wish Freddie was still here, he passed away when I was 1 but I grew up listening to their songs. Freddie always has & always will be a legend, got very emotional watching the Bohemian Rhapsody film
Their days as Queen (full member) must be their best days of life. Imagine living in a creative world, exchanging ideas, making great stuffs, performing them, have fun with people, surrounded by people you love and love you...and get the money of course. Especially with these four geniuses, all ups and downs are really worth it.
Me too! Saw them 4 x times: 3 at the Glasgow Apollo, last one at Knebworth. I was 14 when I saw them at the Apollo in Glasgow in 1975 for the first time- 6th row from the front! "Bohemian Rhapsody" had just gone to No. 1 (for the first time!) BEST BAND EVER!! Thank you John, Brian, Roger & Freddie. xxxx
jessie james thats Dominique, Roger’s 1st wife, and their daughter. Dom was very closed friend of Freddie’s at that time, even when Rog and her separated..
I'm so happy that I actually lived in those times. Queen was massive everywhere but here, they just kind of popular. At the time there was no web, no MTV, and only albums & they were expensive. We live near the Canadian border & got all the TV and all the radio stations so we got our fill of Freddie. The first time I actually saw him was a rerun of Hammersmith Christmas show. That was the dya I fell in love with him, what an exotic beautiful creature. Still have that love today.
I was very lucky to have been present at Knebworth in 86 but none of us though knew it was to be the last ever live performance from the 4 of them. I feel privledged. God bless you Fred.
When ever i hear the world we created i cry my eyes out because it is a beautiful and sung beautifully song especially that knebworth concert in 1986 RIP Freddie Mercury will always be legend the world misses you more then they admit but your memory will live for ever.
I love watching these fantastic videos over and over of Queen, NOBODY could ever do it better, they were simply the BEST! I have loved them for decades and consider myself blessed to have been there through this amazing journey!
Freddie would've been shocked at the "World that we created" now. He wasn't meant for this world, any longer. He is missed none the less. I will always love your glorious music Freddie .🙏
What a fantastic band and a great final tour. Heartbreaking to know in just five short years that horrific disease took Freddie from this world. So glad we have this archived and floating about on youtube. thanx for the upload. long live Queen!
I cried watch the Movie for Queen especialy for Freddy Mercury.. his Journey and Queen’s Journey very inspiring. Now I start digging all the video related to Queen
Been thinking of this since first seeing it in 2015 when I was told, "You are paraplegic". I'd never before heard the word. But I soon found out what it meant... I saw this and eversince the Song OVER THE RAINBOW SUNG WITH UKE ACCOMPANY brings tears..... And GREAT INSPIRATION. I'M back in therapy.... Just finding this video at a PERFECT MOMENT in my life... Told my strength will bring me back to STANDING again... The sky has a rainbow again
5:18 he seems so quiet and sad, I love Freddie so much and he has been through so much, I hate when I remember that he has passed away, but he will always remain living in my heart 🥺🖤🤍♥️💛👑
The first time I heard Queen was 1975 and had only heard the music and LOVED it...Freddie did not have to "Ham It up" to make people see the genius but he did add to it:)
Thanks for adding all of the videos with Freddy and Queen. I miss him so much. Thank you for everything you have done to fight AIDS. Giving hope to those who still have something to hope for.
my dad went to their last ever concert in knebworth, I am grateful that he was there to see it and experience something that many probably wished they were there for xx
Awesome, fun man!! Took his career so serious. Queen played in my hometown Schaumburg Illinois but I was in another state at college. I couldn't go back home. I was so upset. My other idol is elton John. I get to see him this January. It's one of the things on my bucket list. I'm very excited. Loved freddie mercury and love elton John. Queen and elton John are legends with timeless music...I have to say i am a queen superfan!!
I should imagine from this documentary that we all have established that Freddie knew he was sick. What is now forsaken is the fact that some of his fans will never see him perform. One may talk about seeing someone once in a lifetime-but it is difficult to remember that so called performance after time. Take for instance-the US Festival-the audience felt like cows and mooooed into the gates after camping nights to hear multiple groups perform. It just was not quite the usual concert program that should be promoted. After three days of camping-one thinks highly of anything. You simply do not appreciate anything going on stage wise. To have gone to one of Queen's concerts would have been amazing-unfortunately I do not hold that sword. I have wished for that moment to see Freddie and Queen in concert for a lifetime. For those of you that have, cherish the moments........ for they are golden moments to one's memories of a class that tried to teach us something in life.
I saw them in concert late 1978, just prior to the release of the Jazz album, so I was able to get a sneak preview of the album as they performed a few tracks from it. It was probably the best concert I've ever been to in my entire life. Freddie was like a live wire, so full of energy and singing with perfection. I've loved those guys from the beginning. There's nothing more sad than knowing that Freddie is no longer with us, but I'm grateful for having had the chance to see him before he left. His music lives forever.
Mike Strawn I love your phrase "we were moooed along (like cattle)...it does feel like that when we're in a crowd and herded along, or through highway construction...having no idea where we're going, just trustingly following the ones in front of us! 😄 I've read and have seen so much about Freddie that I agree with you that he knew he was HIV+ during the final tour, and knew it was going to be his last. From what I've gathered, it's possible that he knew it in 1985, maybe even a year or two earlier. In the Live Aid concert in 1985, Freddie wore an arm band...and his inner arm had a bruise-like mark near the arm band. Maybe he wore that to try to cover up his lesions? We will never know. I just wish so much that he was still here with us! :(
I was lucky enough to see Queen and I remember almost every moment of it... It was my favorite band (very close to Pink Floyd who I'd missed by 2 years) so I was really excited and soaked up every minute!! I was also at the US festival and remember it being miserable. I live in the IE so we drove (no camping) but it was a night mare.
Cheryl Simmonds Day His personal Life was his heart and it was beautiful its what gave us that beautiful music so in that way it did have to do with his music but i agree with the part where he lived the way he wanted and if he did not want us to know the details its wrong of the press to write about it he did however want us to know about Mary she was very special
And bless him...he lived it his way, and on his terms. But like everyone else on this earth, he had pain, heartbreak, joy and happiness - biggest difference is he found an outlet for it, and in doing so gave the world such a wonderful gift. He was the one, the only...and our lives are so much richer for it. #QueenForever.
Wow so much to dissect from that clip....”Deeky” with the vodka??!! What??! Would never have guessed that. 😲 The size of those crowds was beyond incredible!! Seeing them come off stage at the end just makes u realize how they put everything they had into their shows. In another life (and if I had a time machine) I’d love to be a roadie going on to tour with Queen. What a fantastic job!!
My mom was 8 month pregnant when she went to see Queen in a stadium concert... maybe that´s the reason that I like it too much. Technically I can say I was there... Someone told her, "remember this day" and it was Epic...
GOOD 4 Queen to have a FANTASTIC movie in 2018 !! .....Look at the sea of people !! WOW ! ...I am 55 now and remember well !! WHAT an era !! WE LOVED QUEEN in the east bay of Cal .!!
😢😢😢😢😢😢AWESOME thank u sharing!! I heard Adam Lambert seen Killer Queen last night on a video he did a good job but I still can't handle this into somebody trying to sing songs that only Freddie Mercury could make special I just love Freddie Mercury and the way he and the band Queen sounded together
Can you all just imagine how much more Queen music there could have been if he'd just gotten sick 6 months or a year later, when there were drugs available that would have kept him with us? The saddest thing I ever heard was when Peter Freestone (Phoebe) said that the most tragic thing was that Freddie died with music still in him. That made me ugly-cry.
Very happy frm the start of Freddies singing..music...career.. but ending sad... Many of his fans thinking, saying....why..did you left too soon.. R i p king of Queen Freddie !!! Your songs is our souviner..it will never fade..
In den Herzen derer zu leben, die wir zurücklassen, heißt niemals zu sterben. - Living in the hearts of those we leave behind doesn‘t mean dying. ❤️🌹❤️

"No my dear, we should record EVERYTHING"
Thank you Freddie, you left us a golden nugget
I wish every show on the Magic Tour was recorded, all 26 shows.
4IN14094 so sad. I miss Freddie so much.
Jeff Stewart Me too.
He stopped touring because he started getting sick especially aids. But he still continue to make songs with queen until his end! Strong man! :( RIP
I am so glad and I feel so privileged that I was able to see them live 7 times!!!! I also was at the Freddie Mercury tribute at Wembley in '92. One of the most special days of my life!!
queenandi WOW;
Do you have any footage please ??? Photos ?
I envy you friend
Wow, you are so lucky, I would give anything to do that 😮
Amazing, I wish I could have been there. He is amazing, and had the audience in the palm of his hand. Such stage personality and an amazing personality all around. Rest easie Farrouk aka Freddie. We will always love you and treasure the gifts that u sent us

Me too. Ever since seeing BoRhap on Friday, I’ve been watching all these videos. I really miss Freddie. The world’s not the same after he left us. 😢
Absolutely. Freddie was amazing. Makes me sad knowing he isn't still here creating music, but I'm grateful for the gift he did share with the world.
REESPECT.... I seen them playing support to Mott the hoople.... just knew they had IT... MAGNIFICENT. .. NEVER EVER SEE THE LIKES OF THIS AGAIN. ..

He past away 27 years ago.
Still the greatest frontman and Singer ever.
Yes i can agrid more, love FREDDIE 4 EVER ❤ MW SWEDEN
What a character Freddie was. Such a beautiful soul inside and out. And that voice.....just absolutely “Wow.”

Shelley Ship I hope so too my friend.
True even until today there are millions who missed him even those who were born later than his death 😢
Freddie tu es et sera une part de moi pour toujours
Were the music has a soul
Beautifully said Shelley.....we certainly do miss him
True pure talent. Unlike today where robots and computers do the work.
Recording everything was Genius. He wanted something the fans and everyone to see this over and over.
Freddie was just so charismatic and he was the ultimate professional. All of them were. They were so talented and could have let their egos get the best of them but they remained humble thru all of the fame. ❤️ and wow these guys really put on a show.

More than one million views of this video … so far. Miss Freddie and always will He’s irreplaceable 👑💛💛💛
I cant go on a day without listeningn his song and looking at pictures of freddie.
Who is 'here' in may 2018,... and still think the greatest singer artist is not with us anymore. I hope Freddie is somewhere, in a good place where his 'public' is still enjoying him. #ForeverFreddie
Ona he is having the biggest concert in heaven
To any of the original crew still around, thankyou for your hard work setting up all the necessary gear for Queen to perform. A job well done.
Indeed. A huge amount of effort and a logistical feat moving all that gear around and getting set up.
I remember hearing Queen II in high school in the mid 70s. They werent getting airplay on the radio relatively unknown but me and my mates were raving about how amazing they are and how they were gonna be FUCKING HUGE. You just knew way back then you were hearing something special a unique talent long before they started writing all those massive hit songs that marked them as iconic with no equals.

May he never be forgotten. What a legend!!
John falling off his chair is always in my heart
i'm soon 17 and i love Queen! wish i lived during the 80s omg!
Same I love queen aha
Johanna Svensson it was a great generation to live in
I was born in the 80s I almost wish "I had never been born at all" to much heartbreak and pain, at least music helps some soul still survive in this world T_T
True it is so lucky to have coexisted with Freddie !! Atleast met him personally
70s u mean kid cuz that's when they started😁😎
Queen was my all time favorite band. Had the chance of seeing them perform live 15 times. 13 with Freddie and twice with Paul Rodgers.

What years have you seen them with Freddie?
Late 70's ..early 80's..if they came to NY i would go to all the shows.
+Keith Stone I think someone is telling pork pies!
Saw them as a backup for Hoople. At the Garden for Night at the Opera ..Day at the Races..We will rock you tour and Hot space tour and twice with Paul Rodgers in Jersey...went to multiple shows wouldn't you if your favorite band came to town? Tickets were a lot less expensive those days. I'm 55

Goosebumps when Freddie sings!!!
yes ! It's every time I hear him sing!
Freddie and Queen continues to make an impact. My 1yr and 3 month son claps when I show him Radio Gaga and gets mad when I try to turn off the phone. He loves this song and recognizes it easily.
Freddie was the best musician the best singer the best performer nothing else to say except I miss him

Freddy Mercury and Queen...the best band ever in the world!! And I'm 61 years...still watching them and listening...
Grwat..a legend..singer and songwriter..a model to be taken in spirit and kibdness..this is beautiful..Freddie was beautiful..
I wish Freddie was still here, he passed away when I was 1 but I grew up listening to their songs. Freddie always has & always will be a legend, got very emotional watching the Bohemian Rhapsody film
Continuo a trovare incredibile come una voce cosi, e un talento compositivo del genere, siano vissuti nella stessa persona. Freddie è immenso.
Yes the greatest rock band of the universe. Only wish I was able to see them in concert.
No one could say darling like him.....
Their days as Queen (full member) must be their best days of life. Imagine living in a creative world, exchanging ideas, making great stuffs, performing them, have fun with people, surrounded by people you love and love you...and get the money of course. Especially with these four geniuses, all ups and downs are really worth it.
6:42 - I can't help but laugh when (and how) Freddie says "I'm quite boring". :)
One thing I'm quite sure of is he was never boring, darling!
Freddie was a great entertainer & songwriter with a wonderful band! Never will I forget how amazing!
Saw them at Knebworth.......their last ever gig.......What a show!!!
Me too! Saw them 4 x times: 3 at the Glasgow Apollo, last one at Knebworth.
I was 14 when I saw them at the Apollo in Glasgow in 1975 for the first time- 6th row from the front! "Bohemian Rhapsody" had just gone to No. 1 (for the first time!)
BEST BAND EVER!!
Thank you John, Brian, Roger & Freddie. xxxx
Lucky LUKY
Wow

@@luixpaproductions You've just made my day!! A million thanks Chap!!! The sound quality is bad, but who cares? I WAS THERE!!!
I was lucky enough to see them in Newcastle.
One of the best nights of my life.
I've just been obsessed with watching documentaries since the movie, miss him so much he was such a beautiful person and sexy as hell
‘ not mine, but beautiful’. 😍
jessie james thats Dominique, Roger’s 1st wife, and their daughter. Dom was very closed friend of Freddie’s at that time, even when Rog and her separated..

Omg, i’ve seen John Deacon speaking
We miss you darling!!!!
The first time I heard Queen was 1975 and had only heard the music and LOVED it...Freddie did not have to "Ham It up" to make people see the genius but he did add to it:)
I was born a year after Freddie's death, now 27 years i am one of the big fan of QUEEN.
The best band ever!
Queen has always held my heart. I do miss you Freddie. But I believe even Freddie would agree; Long Live Queen!
Thanks for adding all of the videos with Freddy and Queen. I miss him so much. Thank you for everything you have done to fight AIDS. Giving hope to those who still have something to hope for.
my dad went to their last ever concert in knebworth, I am grateful that he was there to see it and experience something that many probably wished they were there for xx
Freddie was / is Thee most Beautiful soul that was ever created. I love him with every fiber of my soul.
Awesome, fun man!! Took his career so serious. Queen played in my hometown Schaumburg Illinois but I was in another state at college. I couldn't go back home. I was so upset. My other idol is elton John. I get to see him this January. It's one of the things on my bucket list. I'm very excited. Loved freddie mercury and love elton John. Queen and elton John are legends with timeless music...I have to say i am a queen superfan!!

Cheryl Simmonds Day His personal Life was his heart and it was beautiful its what gave us that beautiful music so in that way it did have to do with his music but i agree with the part where he lived the way he wanted and if he did not want us to know the details its wrong of the press to write about it he did however want us to know about Mary she was very special
His personal Life had everything to do with his music, since he created all that beautiful songs based on his own experiences in life.
And bless him...he lived it his way, and on his terms. But like everyone else on this earth, he had pain, heartbreak, joy and happiness - biggest difference is he found an outlet for it, and in doing so gave the world such a wonderful gift. He was the one, the only...and our lives are so much richer for it. #QueenForever.
Batphink Reynolds you are very ignorant to label gay men wreckless straight men do the same things only nobody says a word about them
It had everything to do with it!
The lyrics tell me that 💖
RIP Freddie the best man to grace this planet
A bright light that will shine forever. Glad I was a teenager in Queen's heyday. Forever loved and missed.
Wow so much to dissect from that clip....”Deeky” with the vodka??!! What??! Would never have guessed that. 😲 The size of those crowds was beyond incredible!! Seeing them come off stage at the end just makes u realize how they put everything they had into their shows. In another life (and if I had a time machine) I’d love to be a roadie going on to tour with Queen. What a fantastic job!!
The goose that laid the golden egg doesn’t live forever my dears
pretty sad... those guys should have had so many more years together.. damn disease.. miss you Freddie xxxx
What a blast!
My mom was 8 month pregnant when she went to see Queen in a stadium concert... maybe that´s the reason that I like it too much. Technically I can say I was there...
Someone told her, "remember this day" and it was Epic...
I LOVE YOU QUEEN FOREVER !
I keep hoping one day someone will turn up a decent quality full concert video recording of Knebworth.
im 17 and would give anything to be at that concert
i love you freddie and you will always be in my heart, GO QUEEN :) xxxxx
Freddie knew he couldn't give his over the top best at 110%. He would never give only 100%. God bless him.
I'm always left in wonderment after experiencing any part of their story. Love documentaries.
His audiences are fantastic and that energises him
Freddie you were NEVER boring.
He was truly a beautiful work of art
I miss you so much Freddie ❤️
GOOD 4 Queen to have a FANTASTIC movie in 2018 !! .....Look at the sea of people !! WOW ! ...I am 55 now and remember well !! WHAT an era !! WE LOVED QUEEN in the east bay of Cal .!!
😢😢😢😢😢😢AWESOME thank u sharing!! I heard Adam Lambert seen Killer Queen last night on a video he did a good job but I still can't handle this into somebody trying to sing songs that only Freddie Mercury could make special I just love Freddie Mercury and the way he and the band Queen sounded together
The casting for the movie was perfect, Deacon and May were scary similar
Can you all just imagine how much more Queen music there could have been if he'd just gotten sick 6 months or a year later, when there were drugs available that would have kept him with us? The saddest thing I ever heard was when Peter Freestone (Phoebe) said that the most tragic thing was that Freddie died with music still in him. That made me ugly-cry.
it's nice to hear that john was ''flying''
you could never tell from him if he was having fun?
Marsha Janulis it to to
Of course you could tell! Deacy dances so much in the live concerts while playing his bass 😀
What a fabulous enter we miss you
Very happy frm the start of Freddies singing..music...career.. but ending sad... Many of his fans thinking, saying....why..did you left too soon.. R i p king of Queen Freddie !!! Your songs is our souviner..it will never fade..
In den Herzen derer zu leben, die wir zurücklassen, heißt niemals zu sterben. - Living in the hearts of those we leave behind doesn‘t mean dying. ❤️🌹❤️
Dies sind wahre Worte, Martina Reiter, ja.
Für mich war er einzigartig, wie David Bowie. 😥
Wherever u are i still missed and loved loved you your music makes my heart in love with you, R.I.P. your genius your so humble
We were just performers. Long live Freddie!!!
Freddie: ‘I really like to perform myself, some songs can be perform sitting down but that wouldn’t have the same effect!’ 👏🏼👏🏼
