    Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another round of Queen reactions with Radio Ga Ga live at LIVE AID Wembley. Freddie and the band poured their heart and soul on this song, and I believe the whole show as well.

    Queen is and was amazing and my favorite band of all time from Great Britain. For academics with completely totally different personalities but they have this amazing chemistry and friendship but yet like Stanley even by the mid-to-late seventies. The band was complete in 1971 once John Deacon joined the band, but Freddie Mercury Roger Taylor and Brian May had known each other since about 1967 or 1968. the lead guitarist Brian was a doctorate in astrophysics and the drummer was a biology major that studied Dentistry. Roger never finished dental school because the band was touring too much and it's not like he really needed the money anyway after 1975; and the band split from Trident records & contracted w/John Reed as their manager for 2 years and released " Night at the Opera". The bass player, John Deacon, had a masters in electronic engineering and actually created this amplifier that they call the Deaky amp. that amplifier could make Brian May's guitar sound like an orchestra or almost anything they wanted it to sound like. After John Reeves 2 years were up managing the band in 1977, John Deacon was the business brains behind the band and handled all of the financial matters and the band's money. The band managed themselves to save a lot of money and yet they still had Jim Beach as their attorney. Jim negotiated for them to go tour in South America back around the time of the revolution and the band were able to go to Brazil and Venezuela. Sadly John retired from music in 1997 after Freddie Mercury died because he did not see the band going on at all without Fred and Freddie Mercury was his mentor. John was only 19 when he was accepted into the band and he was young but just a damned good bass player and Freddie Mercury was 25 so he helped John a lot with his writing skills. John Deacon was the Dark Horse of the band because even though he was the quietest one, he could write a song and it would go straight to the top of the charts like " another one bites the dust". at first the band weren't even contemplating putting that song on their 1980 album, The Game". Michael Jackson heard another one bites the dust and told the band to release it because it would be a hit in America as a single. Roger told Michael they weren't even sure they were going to put it on the album. that song wasn't like most of Queens Music because it was a funky song but not really rock and roll. it was on the album and released the summer of 1980 and wen quadruple Platinum!!
    Freddie Mercury was by far the best frontman in the entire world with the voice of a divine messenger!

    Out of the 2 simultaneous Live Aid concerts,the Wembley one is undoubtedly the superior because of Queen. But Madonna's act at the Philadelphia's concert is also very close up there too. Check out her Into the Groove at Live Aid.

    Check out the video. It's a whole different experience with scenes from "Metropolis" that suit the song's retro-modern feel very well. The famous clapping takes on a a slightly sinister 1984 vibe.

    Great reaction, and great research! This is better then the studio version. If you like the synths on this song, try A Kind Of Magic live at Wembley 1986 ruclips.net/video/c2_xWTSyCuU/видео.html. Queen was not popular during this time in America, their other song from the same album as Radio Gaga, I Want To Break Free, had a video of them dressed in drag, and it was banned by MTV. Before I Want To Break Free, their previous video for the song Body Language was also banned by MTV for being to provocative. There were also other problems such as their label being involved in a payola scandal, they struggled to secure airplay for Queen with these issues, so they just lost popularity in America. But Queen always remained popular over the rest of the world. They are the best selling artist of all time in Europe, and over the 4th best selling artist of all time. The whole Live Aid performance is great, it has been chosen as the best broadcasted live performance of all time. Something you have to check out from Queen is Who Wants To Live Forever live at Wembley Friday 1986 ruclips.net/video/MOhuK7aZayw/видео.html.

    The clapping comes from the video clip of the song, the amazing thing is that Queen confirmed at the last minute and they were not even anounced for the show, still, the audience responded showing how popular Queen was.

    There were 78K people in the old wembley stadium. There was also a stadium in the USA doing the same thing and 1.8 billion world wide saw it on tv. They were raising money for the famine victims in Ethiopia and all acts were performing for free. Queen were the best and this is acknowledged to be the best live rock performance ever.

    The people who you are seeing inside the stadium there at Wembley, was only really about half the crowd because remember there was the other stadium in Philadelphia that was staging the other half of the Live Aid concert and the pictures from Wembley were getting beamed directly to Philadelphia as well as to about 2 billion people watching on TV around the world.
    13 satellites were required. The Olympic Games only really used 3.

    The only one that comes close to Freddies stage presence was M.J. BUT...in my opinion and that's all it is, Freddie was just a bit better because Freddie interacted more with the fans, he and the band always made time for the fans to sing what Frreddie sang, or take on the chorus portion of song themselves while Freddie directed them, clap with him, do vocal warm ups with him (which happened right after Radio Gaga at this concert and is amazing) where M.J. interacted yes, but did more dancing for the fans to watch. Don't get me wrong. M.J. was amazing and love him to no end, just as Freddie was a vocal God, M.J. was a dance God, no one could come close to him in that arena, not even Freddie....lol. Great reaction!

    Who tops this? No one ... this performance still best ever. And Dr Brian May on guitar 🎸 still has the same hair just white these days :) . Queen was on for 20 minutes and it genuinely changed lives ... live aid was to raise money for starving Africans and when Queen came on the money started to flood in ... then of course the fact it still is considered as best ever. Queen ❤️

    70, 000 ppl in Wimbley and another stadium full in Phila at the same time participating. And Queen had an advantage over the other acts because they were experienced in performing for large crowds. Queen alone sold out Wimbley like 5 times. And Queen had a lot of interactive songs. He was also already sick and every other act there kind of half assed it and regretted that because of their performance.

    I read that they got the idea for the song from the drummer Roger Taylor’s baby. The story I read said Rogers baby said radio gaga and the rest is history.
    Also if it hasn’t been mentioned before there were between 75,000 to 90,000 people there that day.

    I grew up listening to every genre of music except for classical and country. I have more albums, cassettes, cd's and downloads of different much different music. Rock Your Baby by George McCray, the original I Didn't Mean to Turn You On by Cherelle (not the Robert Palmer verson), Madonna, and so many other artists. Watching you react a song is like watching a kid opening Christmas girls. Thank you for reacting to and enjoying music from the past. If it weren't for these guys our music would be totally different today. Thank you JESUS I grew up in the 70's and 80's hearing some of the most revolutionary music in the. world. It shaped who we are today. ❤

      Queen did use synthesizers since 1980. Spike Edney is a part of Queen since 1984, he plays the synths, the vocoder, the piano, the rythm guitar and does backing vocals at all Queen related things since 1984.
