I saw Roger in Bath on Monday. I nearly fell off the circle balcony when I heard him singing. Why the hell is Adam Lambert still poncing about with Queen when this guy is real rock and roll and not musical theatre? When Warren starting singing Freddie’s intro to Prime Jive I thought Mercury had been reincarnated. And Rog’s voice is still amazing. 72 years old. Phenomenal.
it's funny because if you google 'Rod Stewart and Roger Taylor' one of the photos is of those two in the same room with fairly similar hair and they're the only ones wearing sunglasses indoors.
he lost some high notes, but that does not take anything away from Roger his performance. Love it, although Freddie could take any song to another level. He does a great job here with his song. Roger ages very well!
@@haythijs I think the same with Brian May singing too much love will kill you. Freddie gave the song a different meaning but Brian's version is still brilliantly moving
I'd love to hear his 2021 "Galileo"..! Come to think about it, the first 4 queen albums were full of Rogers falsetto, but none after A Night at the Opera... He must have blown his voice out with all those vocal takes. The cigarettes, vodka, and cocaine probably didn't help much either.
Everyone forgets what a great singer Roger is. It's hard to shine as a vocalist when the greatest rock vocalist of all time is the front man of your band.
I have been fortunate enough to see Queen live six times with Freddie … Roger was always the backbone of the vocals for Freddie. I saw Roger many years ago when he toured the UK… His voice now is nowhere near as good as it used to be…but to me ..He is a GOD…
Queen was/is a band full of extraordinary talent. Roger's voice is amazingly present throughout all of Queen's work . His solo vocal efforts for the band has given Queen fans some little gems not often heard by the general masses , e.g Tenement Funster. and here he is singing a song that I believe he penned. Really like this version. ...... Just give me an open car and some RMT tunes!
I wonder what memories this evokes in Roger when he's singing? Looking out across the stage, seeing the Freddie, and the tens of thousands of people watching Queen?! Things they've done as a band, the people, the places they've been.
Amazing ...So so so Great... I changed the lyrics for a cover song as Space Boy on YT.... just a bit of fun 'Shop at Wembury Stores' ... Queen fans have been so great! ... thanks.
Man, my tears are just accidentally droped when the guitarist start to fill in.. this song is so great... The chords,and the harmony in this song are amazing... feels so emotional everytime i hear this song... this is masterpiece, one of the greatest Queen's recording,, long live roger,, stay happy and stay healthy,
What a lovely feeling I'm left with after watching that. I first saw Roger Taylor on Swap Shop on Saturday morning TV in the 70s and he was as remarkably stunning then as he is now. He's never changed. All through my life that man has just bloody oozed talent and charisma. That voice, the songs he's written not to mention his drumming prowess. Roger Taylor is a Rock God and it's really great to see him and this great band kicking it out. I hope they tour.
Группа Queen - сокровище мировой музыкальной культуры. Нам невероятно повезло быть современниками этих великолепных музыкантов, и бесконечно жаль Фредди.
What a great performance. It brought me to tears. In Freddie's absence, Roger is the right person to sing it. In fact, he was the composer of this song.
Amazing ...So so so Great... I changed the lyrics for a cover song as Space Boy on YT.... just a bit of fun 'Shop at Wembury Stores' ... Queen fans have been so great! ... thanks.
Bless you Roger... forever putting an end to any old, stupid jokes about drummers writing songs. This is just a fantastic piece of music. And a fantastic performance. While seeing Spike Edney on keys is always an extra gift, I want tip my hat to the entire band. This did put a huge smile on my face. Thank you!
How many people actually realised that it was Roger who who originally wrote Radio Gaga? The story behind it was that he was playing with one of his children who at the time was still very young & just learning to talk and they kept saying Radio Ca-ca which was then Roger's inspiration to pen the song. Which was then recorded to their album The Works but of course the performance that really elevated it to what we know so well today was Live Aid.
Taylor siempre con su voz impecable, un timbre muy especial y un caudal increible, sin duda Queen era un bloque de diamante, perfecto y pulido. Mi admiracion de siempre a Roger.
Geeez I feel like age 16 again watching Roger belt out 1 of his #1worldwide smash hits,its thrilling to watch him and his team crank it out...Perfecto Mr Taylor thank you again and again 50 years going strong...hope to see you and everyone in the fall of 2022 in the USA...IM age 60 makes me feel young again no doubt.
I only ever saw them once,Hyde park London in 1976,with supercharge,Steve Hillage and Kiki Dee supporting,she had a cardboard cut out of Elton John on stage,as her guitarist covered Elton’s vocal parts on don’t go breaking my heart,,Queen were awesome,and their catalogue of hits continued,they are the band with more hits than any of my top favourite bands.
this is so fantastic! great to see such a diverse group having so much fun performing. I wasn’t alive to appreciate Queen at their peak but the timelessness of their music is extraordinary.
I’ve always loved Roger’s voice. This is amazing!. The first time I listened to his singing was in “The Loser in the End”. I love Queen II, that was the first album I ever bought from the band back in ‘86 when I was 12.
Seen Roger and the band in Cardiff Wednesday night and it was outstanding!!! Absolute pleasure to see them play and a huge thank you for a great night. ❤
God Rogers voice is great considering his age and this is a bastard of a song to sing , great tune , Long may you prosper Roger Taylor and thanks for writing this great song
❤ Cosmic rendition, what an energy!!! well done Roger n the band. :) Im sure Freddie would immidiately jump to your studio and sing with all of you.....😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I ve been listening to Queen since they hit the scene in the early 70's and I think Rogers Voice is better than ever!! Love you Roger! Solid Band too!!!
A Drummer with a better singing voice than most lead singers.

And Rog’s voice is still amazing. 72 years old. Phenomenal.
@@loretime I have been wondering the same thing. I'm like "Dudes! You have a singer right behind you, and you pick Adam Lambert? Really?!
@@gemini2012100 theoretically they have 2 singers, Brian and Roger so no need for Adam
@@einShawn I agree. I've heard Roger sing, but I don't know if I've heard Brian sing, not the lead anyway. I knew he sang backup on some songs.
@@gemini2012100 I‘m not sure either bit he sang the Bridge part from I want it all and nowadays love of my life etc
When Roger forgot to sing after the first chorus it got a bit emotional for me because it felt that he was waiting for Freddie to start singing.....
A similar situation happened to Brian May at the tribute concert to Freddie!! Greetings from Argentina!
It's like just muscular memory kicking in, can't help it even after so many years.
Me too😢
aww man he did 😭 i cant watch this no more thats too sad 😭😭😭😭😭
Roger’s voice is criminally underrated
I've heard so many people say that so I don't think it's true
He's similar to Rod Stewart, but Queen.
Do you actually believe that. Because Roger is one of the most famous vocalists of the 70s/80s 😂😭🥱
Its never been under-rated, its always been the heart of Queen
Stop using the word underrated incorrectly.
I have always found Roger's voice very similar to Rod Stewart's, wonderful perfomance
Sooo true!
indeed
Less annoying than Rod Stewart's though.
it's funny because if you google 'Rod Stewart and Roger Taylor' one of the photos is of those two in the same room with fairly similar hair and they're the only ones wearing sunglasses indoors.
It does now yes
I hope Roger is still in love with his car....
What a voice.
I love how Roger's voice doesn't age a single bit
he lost some high notes, but that does not take anything away from Roger his performance. Love it, although Freddie could take any song to another level. He does a great job here with his song.
Roger ages very well!

Roger still sounds good 👍
Great singer. Had first listen to his latest album today. Very impressed.
Singing such high notes at the age of, what, 72? is such a great feat. His voice stayed so similar through the ages that it's insane.
Everyone forgets what a great singer Roger is. It's hard to shine as a vocalist when the greatest rock vocalist of all time is the front man of your band.
Roger may be 300 years old, but he will always be the drummer with the best rock voice ever!
Love Roger but that would be Don Henley
I love Phil Collins :P
@@darrynhughes8526 thumbs-up for Don 👍
Dean Castronovo anyone?
Peter Criss.
Roger has a feel for his automobile.
Are you saying he's maybe, in love, with..his car..?
Yep
Accurate
@@mikecummings3149: What a clean machine!
😁😁
Well , I wasn't expecting to hear that same voice quality decades later! Thanks for the memory
@Roger Taylor I live in Falmouth, Cornwall, but lived for a short while in St. Agnes in 1965.
I watched The Reaction win in Truro!
Roger is like that secret weapon. His support vocals in conjunction with Brian just added that fullness to live performances. He has great intonation.
I have been fortunate enough to see Queen live six times with Freddie … Roger was always the backbone of the vocals for Freddie. I saw Roger many years ago when he toured the UK… His voice now is nowhere near as good as it used to be…but to me ..He is a GOD…
Вы везунчик!
Brilliant to see these fantastic young musicians playing this classic with the legend Roger Taylor!
I bet Spike would be delighted to be described as young 😀
Rather patronising comment I feel.
Rather patronising comment I feel. Such as when someone condescendingly says 'young man'.
Freddie would be laughing his head off at Roger reading the lyrics..
And Roger wrote the song.
he is in his 80s now
Especially as Freddie kept forgetting them on the video shoot.Amazing day.
@@Andy28548 he's 72
@@adams7405 funny enough Freddie also forgot the lyrics in Cologne and 1st Vienna during the Magic Tour

Rogers voice is amazing espeically during his prime he could easily be the lead singer in any other band
Tenement Funster and Sheer Heart Attack are two of his absolute masterpieces.
Roger has amazing vocal talent. Most people don’t know that because as I heard someone else say, “Freddie Mercury’s voice is just cheating”
@@zachlewis9751 Freddie Mercury was just god's way of showing off!
He did front a band for a few years the cross very underrated
Saw Roger and these awesome musicians in Cardiff last night - what a privilege it was. Great Gig!
I'm off to watch him next week in Nottingham :) can't wait! The setlists I've been seeing played are great!
You are so lucky!
Amazing, aren't they!!!!!
Was spike edney playing with them
@Richard Bennett Tina, and Chris?
I wonder what memories this evokes in Roger when he's singing?
Looking out across the stage, seeing the Freddie, and the tens of thousands of people watching Queen?!
Things they've done as a band, the people, the places they've been.
That same beautiful voice which helped Freddie for some many times during this wonderful song at the live shows...
Rog should've actually sang more lead during their time with Freddie...would've helped him tremendously with his vocal nodules for sure!
@@Motown-1966 Agreed, but I understand that should be difficult to ask for more space to sing when you have somebody like Freddie as your lead singer
This is freakin brilliant ❤️🏆
No it isnt, it’s like Karaoke
*wipes a tear* Could not agree more...
Sounds like an old man in a pub, without much puff.
Not good at all sorry.
Yeah Man!
Roger is still awesome. Underrated as a drummer, he’s a great song writer and singer.
Wrote more Queen songs than most people realise.
I always thought that in every other band Roger Taylor and Brian May would have been the lead singers! They're incredible singers!
Brian’s a really poor singer
Boo to you. Brian has a beautiful voice. He did solo tours on both of his own albums and drew in huge crowds, how about you?
Brian has sweet voice, not strong enough to sing Freddie's parts
Brilliant! Roger still has it! He is the one behind the incredibly high pitched backing vocals of many Queen hits 💪
Amazing ...So so so Great... I changed the lyrics for a cover song as Space Boy on YT.... just a bit of fun 'Shop at Wembury Stores' ... Queen fans have been so great! ... thanks.
Man, my tears are just accidentally droped when the guitarist start to fill in.. this song is so great...

Never skip the hand clapping of this song 👏🏻👏🏻 🙌🏻 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Hes touring the UK right now! Go look it up!
ROGER, THAT PHENOMENAL GUITARIST AND BAND ARE WHAT WE ALL NEED💦🌿❤️
That was truly great. Roger Taylor is still brining it despite his age.
I love brining. It keeps your food edible over a long time.
This was so much fun to watch! everyone's so happy so expressive. And Roger is Stunning!
🥰🥰🥰
Roger and Spike are always what makes this song what it is. Even when Freddie sang it, Rogers backing vox came through strong
Группа Queen - сокровище мировой музыкальной культуры. Нам невероятно повезло быть современниками этих великолепных музыкантов, и бесконечно жаль Фредди.
Clap!Clap!...Radio GaGa..One of Queen most iconic song.
Nur von Queen etwas besser, weil die Musik hier etwas zu laut, lauter als Gesang
Rock legend, at 72 Roger is still rocking it. And I love the new album too. The best since Happiness.
What a great performance. It brought me to tears. In Freddie's absence, Roger is the right person to sing it. In fact, he was the composer of this song.
Roger, delivering the goods.
Great musicians all the way
Love it
Delivering the goods...
...and protecting the crown jewels.
meanwhile Freddie screaming from the heaven “I like it darling” ♥️
I love Roger’s voice, still so strong.
Amazing ...So so so Great... I changed the lyrics for a cover song as Space Boy on YT.... just a bit of fun 'Shop at Wembury Stores' ... Queen fans have been so great! ... thanks.
Can really see and hear the emotion in Taylor during this, it's really moving to see. Wonderful
Saw this performance live last night - bloody brilliant. He’s still got it!
Still crushing on Roger after all these years!
I love how the band are allowed small improvisations in the song, great performance 👌
Roger is amazing! I love his energy and talent. Everlasting musician!
Bless you Roger... forever putting an end to any old, stupid jokes about drummers writing songs. This is just a fantastic piece of music. And a fantastic performance. While seeing Spike Edney on keys is always an extra gift, I want tip my hat to the entire band. This did put a huge smile on my face. Thank you!

so good to see Spike again, such a talented musician 😍
Spike is numero uno

As a first and second voice, Roger is extraordinary, as a drummer one of the best in the world. Please Roger, never die! Greetings from Paraguay.
Each Queen theme is a music master piece🤘🏻
I love Roger Taylor so much ❤❤❤❤
This is Queen. Great musicians, got the sound and Roger added the Queen magic. Reminded me of Wembley.
ロジャーの歌声素敵です。これをシングルで出して欲しいくらい💕
I'm wordless. Roger is simply amazing. His voice is beautiful and is good to know that he still keeps it with the pass of the time. Legend
RUclips popped this up for me so I had to see it (being Queen and all). What a surprise, awesome job all around.
Amazing

Wow. Roger can still rock it and his band is amazing as well. I wish I lived in the UK so I could attend one of his shows :).
Trish Capetown Me too
Still sounds like Donald Duck!😁
Dude..my smile got bigger when he brought out his tambourine
I still remember the first time seeing/hearing this on MTV in the mid 80’s. Queen once again reinvented themselves brilliantly!
Loved Roger in DROWSE song...still my best Roger Queen song
Spike there on keyboards. The fifth member of Queen 💜
He had great background vocals…harmonized with freddie amazingly!
this is so fantastic! great to see such a diverse group having so much fun performing. I wasn’t alive to appreciate Queen at their peak but the timelessness of their music is extraordinary.
Yes diverse musicians get together since the 60s
Radio Gaga is such and underrated song and It's one of my favourite
I’ve always loved Roger’s voice. This is amazing!. The first time I listened to his singing was in “The Loser in the End”. I love Queen II, that was the first album I ever bought from the band back in ‘86 when I was 12.

@Richard Bennett Tina Hizon, she’s a badass
名曲は何年経っても色褪せませんね。素敵です。
If I only had to chance to meet you in person Roger Taylor...I am your super fan up to this time.
Have to say hearing Roger belt this out is just amazing… but it Always makes me smile.. any version.. from any era!! Great song.

birth year 1984.
Even in his 70's his voice is still cute
How nice to see Queen member!!! I love Roger ❤️❤️❤️
I love this song, and I love hearing Roger sing it! Great performance by everyone!
Roger Taylor.. legend
Roger is legendary at this point. Amazing voice and great playing all of course.

I ve been listening to Queen since they hit the scene in the early 70's and I think Rogers Voice is better than ever!! Love you Roger! Solid Band too!!!

Mamma mia!! How great is this?
