One of the best interpretations of this song was featured some years ago on the TV show The Voice. It was sung by Jordan Smith, and he won The Voice that year. As a veteran Queen fan, I could hear Freddie's influence on the illustrious presentation, with a choir behind Jordan. You'll be in for a treat, it's still on You Tube. Kudos to Freddie and Queen for this amazing interpretation ❤❤!!
In the late 70s and early 80s, I worked at the Montreal Forum as an on-call employee. I was therefore present during this show, since as employees, we had free access to see the show, with stage passes bearing the mention (Forum Staff). The night before the concert, our team set up the arena for the show, covering the rink with panels, installing the rows of seats, removing the hockey glass and setting up the main stage. When the day came, the roadies installed their sound equipment, the stage lighting and finally the musical instruments. Then at the end of the show, while the roadies were dismantling their equipment, our team put the arena back in its necessary configuration for the hockey games of the Montreal Canadiens.
Go to a Queen concert and you will come away ENTERTAINED by four legendary musicians. One will not let the other out perform him. They come with a plan...tho it may appear they improvise as the set unfolds...wrong, each one is doing what was planned. OR realised by eye contact 'we're gonna do this instead' AND that's perfection!
Damn, I wish I had gone to that concert. I was living just a 2 hour drive away in 1981. They did 2 nights at the Montreal Forum and filmed both concerts and released a video combining the best footage from each.
I’ve e probably watched every live Queen video on you tube and this concert is still my all time favorite. I had to laugh when you were surprised at Freddie’s run at the beginning and you said, “where did that come from?” That’s how I know this is your first time hearing them live. freddie has as much soul in his voice as any. Great video This is when musicians actually knew how to sing and play 😂
Freddy was a brilliant showman he fallow NO rules and terms !!! he just gave all on the stage and all were public knew the were living a dream with Queen .
I think I best most of you here 😁. I first saw them back in -74 at the late Rainbow Theater in London. I was 16 and it was my first trip abroad (from Sweden) solely to go to a concert. Lifelong fan and Brian May made me put some serious effort into my guitarplaying. Proud owner of a BMG Super. It fits perfectly between my old LP black beauty and a 13 string alto guitar 😉
They could react to Queen's song Seaside Rendezvous, there is no official video, no live performance, just spell videos with the song's audio, but it's another level. You will be surprised, greetings from Guatemala City in Central America.
So i love watching reactions to songs spend at least 3 hours a day, love watching you guys, I've suggested this artist and song on at least 10 other channels but no one has yet to do it you guys can be the first, artist tim McGraw the song is my old friend. It's a good song one of those that will always relate more with age
In the Queen Documentary, I think it's his manager - or future manager - who goes over to a sullen looking Mercury in a pub and Eddie sees him and says, 'I'm not going to be a rock star ' and then he stands up and says 'I'm going to be a legend.'
I'm pushing 80yrs pretty hard and I've loved Freddie Mercury & Queen for many years now. To me his music is never old nor does it sound dated. Such talent is hard to find, then & now. Thank you for your reactions! You are a great team.
This is the greatest band ever. The only way to listen to this group is LIVE. All band members and talented and intelligent. Freddie, there is no one like him or his voice. I absolutely love him RIP
Queen is a British rock band that was formed in 1970 and was comprised of: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and pianist Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals John Deacon - Bass guitar Queen is an unusual rock band. All four members had amazing musical talent and each of the four members was a successful composer. Queen is the only group in which all members of the band have songs inducted into the Music Hall of Fame. Each member of Queen was a strong and unique individual. They each had different musical tastes which is probably why Queen's catalog of music contains such a variety of genres. They wrote and recorded songs that are soft rock, hard rock, progressive rock, arena rock, thrash rock, glam rock, rockabilly, r&b, blues, pop, soul, funk, disco, dance music, jazz, gospel, folk, opera, show tunes, ragtime, etc. They would sometimes combine multiple genres in a single song.
@@HealthAtAnyCost Freddie had a degree from Ealing College in Graphic Design and Fashion, Brian graduated with a degree in Physics from Imperial College and later earned his Ph.D. also from Imperial College in Astrophysics, Roger started studying dentistry but switched and was awarded a degree in Biology from East London Polytechnic, and John has a First Class Honours degree in Electronics from Chelsea College.
@@Sassypaws4927 Ayup! And Freddie designed their logo! (I know you know for sure.) That gets overlooked far too often. Do we love these guys or what?!?
Small sidenote: During performances Freddie drank tea with honey to sooth & hydrate his throat. He said he didn't drink beer during performances because he didn't want to risk burping into the microphone & insulting his audience.
Thanks for your reaction. You’re spot on! There’s so much to discover from Queen’s vault, so please go on. Maybe Back Chat from Milton Keyns 1982 or It’s a hard life from Rock in Rio 1985? Take good care!
Definitely Live Aid is a must watch. Actually I recently bought on Blu-ray the Montreal show and Live Aid combined. Since it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow it sounds like a great day for favorite snack foods and a couple of concerts. It Really shouldn't need to be mentioned, everyone should already know, that Freddie had been fighting a throat infection and had been advised to not even sing (as if!!). So he had been having throat trouble, still that morning of Live Aid... (I laughed when, in the movie, he looked at his cats and said Everybody's a Critic) But when he got on that stage, suddenly Freddie Mercury was In The Zone and sang near perfection. From what I heard, he said afterwards, that by the end of their 20 minutes his throat was on fire and he felt like he had been gargling with glass. Now There is true loyalty and dedication and determination. To his band mates, to the audience, to his fans, to his family, to the world, really... Freddie gave us his everything, always, but that evening in particular was truly magic. Because Bohemian Rhapsody was of course, a movie, timelines had to be moved along, so when you think about it, it's kind of hard to believe how much time had actually elapsed between the breakup of the band, to Freddie's epiphany and apology, and Live Aid. You wouldn't have thought they could have been apart for that long. But thank the Heavens that Freddie put his pride aside and asked for that forgiveness everyone needed to hear. And yes, if they had not performed at Live Aid, they would have regretted it the rest of their lives. Rest in Peace, Freddie Mercury, you deserve it. 💔 🧡🖤💔🧡🖤💔🧡🖤💔🧡🖤💔🧡🖤💔💛
I just stumbled upon your page and thought I would subscribe and follow ! And yes it's hard to take your eyes off Freddy , He was one of the greatest Entertainers of our Generation !
I have been on this Earth 69 years. I love music. This performance was the best ever live by any person and band. Freddie was almost too good for this world. He did his thing and never took no for an answer. Thank you Farrokh Bulsara.....you are remembered but also missed.
Hey guys ..love you had the experience of the greatest live band in the world..of all time. There is so much more..go back in time or go to the future..haha..
A small boy from Zanzibar called Farrokh Bulsara that conquered the World beying Freddy, and a Queen!! There's so much about the life of Freddy, and how much he impacted the life of so many people and how generous he was....he recorded until he couldn't no more....and always kept asking for more stuff to record. Even after is death Elton John, who was very close to him, got some expensive paintings that he sent for him bafore he past away......and of course Mary Austin....after is familly, she was problably the most important person of his life! My favorite band since i can remember!!!
React to "You're My Best Friend" from the studio recording. My wife and I played it at our wedding when the ceremony was concluded and we danced together down the isle back in 1983. It's a good one. Another one is "Dont Stop Me Now". Thanks for the reactions! Queen is indeed legendary!
This was Freddies favorite song for good reason. Nobody stood out above the other, it took all 4 of them playing 💯 of their abilities. The wording was Fred's however 😊
He actually drank tea on stage for his amazing voice❤
100% correct, it wasn't beer.
One of the best interpretations of this song was featured some years ago on the TV show The Voice. It was sung by Jordan Smith, and he won The Voice that year.

Roger Taylor is one if the most underrated singers of all time.
Wasnt he the drummer?
@joyceellis9722 yes
Damn, I wish I had gone to that concert. I was living just a 2 hour drive away in 1981. They did 2 nights at the Montreal Forum and filmed both concerts and released a video combining the best footage from each.
Upon being asked what was his favourite instrument, Freddie replied “The audience darling. The audience!
I’ve e probably watched every live Queen video on you tube and this concert is still my all time favorite.
I had to laugh when you were surprised at Freddie’s run at the beginning and you said, “where did that come from?”
That’s how I know this is your first time hearing them live. freddie has as much soul in his voice as any. Great video
This is when musicians actually knew how to sing and play 😂
Thank you!
Yes. It is❤❤❤❤
1980 and it was so epic! RIP FM
Most professional singers would sacrifice a close relative to have Freddie's warm-up as their entire range.
Im so thankfull that my dad put me on to Queen since i was young 🙏❤
I saw Queen and Freddie live in 81, GREAT show.
14 year old me was at the exact show. It was my 1st concert. I shit get shivers thinking about it after all these years.
Reaction is spot on....💛
They are such a great band you really must listen to their greatest hits there are so many
Freddie will never be forgotten !
Real, competent experts do their thing - music! Epic!
our greatest showman
Terrific reaction, great input!!!

Hello from Germany.

⚡👊🏻⚡
Queen live were epic
❤
Best live performance in human history
You two are made for eachother. 👍
Legendary performance
Checking through your video list, had to subscribe, youve got a great assortment going 😊
Freddy was a brilliant showman he fallow NO rules and terms !!! he just gave all on the stage and all were public knew the were living a dream with Queen .
I was always amazed at the band singing the backup vocals in this performance! Originally I thought they had backup singers.
Haven´t watch it, but it is a must to leave a like! Good job guys!
Haha thank you!
I was in this concert but in Sao Paulo Brazil in 191, I was 19th and I can assure you they were THAT GOOD and even more. The best concert I ever be.
Best band I have ever seen live
I think I best most of you here 😁.

They were great, great, great!
Real Talent... All 4
Slayed it!
I had the privilege of seeing Queen over twenty times from 1978 to their last concert at Knebworth in 1986, it was a wonderful time to be alive.
Freddie is in a league of his own!
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, goosebumps every time 😊
So i love watching reactions to songs spend at least 3 hours a day, love watching you guys, I've suggested this artist and song on at least 10 other channels but no one has yet to do it you guys can be the first, artist tim McGraw the song is my old friend. It's a good song one of those that will always relate more with age
I was there, the montreal forum, amazing 70's
Great couple!
U got it right it’s always good to listen to studio version before live version.
In the Queen Documentary, I think it's his manager - or future manager - who goes over to a sullen looking Mercury in a pub and Eddie sees him and says, 'I'm not going to be a rock star ' and then he stands up and says 'I'm going to be a legend.'
Isn't this so great for the soul? Love y'all. Hope you make a great life together.
There will never be another Freddie.. R.I.P.
Everytine i watch that performance ...its just so breathtaking .So truly great 🏆
Yes. Queen. Bloody Legend.
Like to hear your reaction without you having had listened to it before hand:) Freddie Forever ❤❤❤❤
There will never be another Freddie Mercury.
Real music
Fantasti Freddie and all band!
I'm pushing 80yrs pretty hard and I've loved Freddie Mercury & Queen for many years now. To me his music is never old nor does it sound dated. Such talent is hard to find, then & now. Thank you for your reactions! You are a great team.
No Words 🤯
“In Dreams” and “It’s Over” are great tracks from Roy. He was extremely popular in the U.K. and spent a lot of time here.
You MUST watch then on Live Aid. The BEST 21 minutes of live music ever!
Saw them back in 1978.
This is the greatest band ever. The only way to listen to this group is LIVE. All band members and talented and intelligent. Freddie, there is no one like him or his voice. I absolutely love him RIP

I saw QUEEN living in BOSTON 1977 THE old BOSTON GARDEN
Cry every time I watch this 🇬🇧
It’s almost like they’re singing live
Small sidenote: During performances Freddie drank tea with honey to sooth & hydrate his throat. He said he didn't drink beer during performances because he didn't want to risk burping into the microphone & insulting his audience.
I saw this tour in 1980 in NYC, I was 13.
Juste une légende incroyable que nous avons eu la chance de voir de son vivant
Freddie and QUEEN are absolutely the best ❤
"Dragon attack" from the same show... Great!!!🔥
More QUEEN REACTION 💓

Save me, by Queen. Great song
The bassist with the impressive curly hair is Dir Bruan May. He is now a PhD astrophysicist who writes for scientific journals. Quite a career change.
'Where did that come from?'...That's Freddie Mercury! Greatest frontman of all time
Yes Indeed !!!

His voice was better live then in a studio
Hey guys ..love you had the experience of the greatest live band in the world..of all time. There is so much more..go back in time or go to the future..haha..
Check out Somebody to Love at Milton Keynes live 1982. It's awesome ❤❤

The Damned - Eloise
More Queen pls😊
There were 5 super groups in the 60's and 70's. This is one of them along with Eagles, John Mayall's Blues Breakers, The Yardbirds and Led Zepplin!
You probably know Queen more than you realize.
Note when Freddie hands off to Brian, his vocal note and Brian’s guitar chord are exactly matched… incredible artistry !
This was Freddies favorite song for good reason. Nobody stood out above the other, it took all 4 of them playing 💯 of their abilities. The wording was Fred's however 😊
You guys are young. I'm 50 and I've been listening to Queen's music since the late 80s early 90s.
