    Love your reactions, I watched this on tv in 1985 and Queen really shone on the day, and to think this wasn't primarily a Queen audience because they were only added to the show when a lot of tickets had already been sold, but they all joined in in unison and knew the actions and the words, it was incredible to watch on the day, thanks

      ​@@galaxyjamsIntroducing a really good singer. They debuted this time, and they are a group that became popular in the US before Korea and charted on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.It's a group called Fifty Fifty, and their song 'Cupid' is really good, so please respond.

    White Queen by them live at the Odeon, Hammersmith 1975 is a must-reaction for y’all! Perfect vocals from Freddie, insane guitar work by Brian, all around a superb live performance by all four guys. Definitely a performance that deserves more recognition!

    Wanna hear something kinda geeky and cool? The part near the end where the crowd is clapping and only the drums are playing, there's a rather unique phenomenom happening that was only realised years later. If you watch the crowd carefully when they clap, you'll notice the people in the back clap a tiny bit later than those in the front. That's because they're hearing that part slightly later than those in the front. And it actually creates a wave of clapping through the crowd from front to back. It was discovered years later that if you measure the speed this clapping wave travels backwards, it's actually travelling at the speed of sound. This was the very first time this effect was captured on video, in good enough quality and high enough frame rate to actually _see_ and be able to _measure_ the speed of sound in this way. We knew soundwaves created waves in the air, even explosions do - but we'd never actually observed them through a medium before because cameras just didn't record at high enough frame rates or quality until this point in time. Not only does it show the speed of sound, because this speed changes based on altitude, temperature and humidity in the air it means we can tell exactly what the speed of sound was on _that particular day_ in _that particular location_ of Wembly Stadium AND also what the temperature and humidity was on that day too, which is a crazy level of scientific detail for that time!

    Great reaction. I love the analysis, meshed with the emotions. Rare to find in these reactions. The clapping gesture is taken right from the Music Video of this song. And the Song and Video were very popular. So it came natural for the audience to participate. It was programmed in their minds...... A bit ironic , considering the lyrics of the song...... It was the VIDEO of the song, that inspired the greatness of this performance.....

    GUYS...
    I can't tell you how much I ENJOYED this! I really appreciate hearing your perspectives/your conversations. And I actually learned some things on this one (about the radio industry)...
    DID YOU KNOW: When the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" was being released - and the band had been being pressured to make it shorter so it would get radio play... Freddie snuck a copy of the song to a radio DJ, Kenny Everett. Kenny played the song 24 TIMES over the course of a weekend, and is credited with helping with the song's initial success. (PERFECT example of what you guys were talking about!)
    And, FUN FACT about this Live Aid performance: So, there were 78.000 folks in this Wembley audience; there were ALSO 125,000 people in a live audience over in Philadelphia, watching at-the-same-time on their giant screen... and someone who was at Philadelphia, said that EVERYONE in that audience was ALSO following along with Freddie's lead on all of the songs!
    (The only disappointment with this video you guys reacted to - totally NOT your fault - is that it cuts off just before the BEST PART: Freddie's "AY-OH" improv sing-and-respond with the audience, dubbed "The note heard round the world!". Which - according to Brian May - was totally AD LIBBED; the band did NOT know Fred was going to do it.)😄
    SUGGESTIONS....
    "SOMEBODY TO LOVE" live at
    MILTON KEYNES BOWL, 1982
    (There are two popular performances of this song... THIS one is the rendition that Queen has included in their official compilation of Best Live Performances!)
    "UNDER PRESSURE" live at
    WEMBLEY STADIUM, 1986
    "LOVE OF MY LIFE" live at
    ROCK IN RIO, 1985
    (Between 250,000 to 400,000 NON-English-speaking people, singing ALLLLL the words w/o any prompting!)

      When Freddie starts to ad-lib, you can very faintly hear Roger (the unofficial time-keeper) tap lightly on his drum as if to tell Freddie to get back to the script! Roger, Brian and John were probably losing their minds! But that was Freddie...sooo unpredictable....Haha! The yellow warning light at the front of the stage was on during We Are The Champions....they were sooo close to not making it. But they did bring it to a close in 20 minutes/10 seconds. Whew!

      @@lindamaclellan4899 (haha) YES... Speaking of "losing their minds": Did you know that after "Radio GaGa" here when Fred launches into that Improv with the audience, that REALLY WAS an Improv... Brian said the other band members had NO IDEA Freddie was going to do that! So, when we see Freddie do that first "Ay-OH" and Brian happens to be standing with his back to the audience, Brian said he was standing back there thinking "Oh.... So we're doing THAT now, are we!?!" (Freddie had said that when he went onstage, "I never know what's going to happen!")
      ...I'll have to watch/listen for Roger's "tapping" from now on.

I can't remember what version I was viewing at the time...as you know, some have better audio than others.

    Bohemian Rhapsody was too long for radio but Freddie was friends with Kenny Everett, a top DJ of the time, and Kenny played it. The phone lines went mad asking for it again and again. Freddie on stage at live aid was so relaxed and so casual in front of the biggest tv audience of all time. He connected with everyone and everyone felt involved in the show.

    Freddie had a bad throat on the day and was told by a doctor not to perform. However, Queen did and smashed it. Each act had about 15 - 20 minutes and if they went over they were cut off. However, Queen did the most songs and finished exactly on time. You should have carried on watching as at the end of this song Freddie plays with the audience getting them to sing back scales. He was the greatest frontman ever and the band all wrote number 1 songs.

    It gets a mention in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody but when Queen presented the record BH to the record label and says they wanted it released as their lead single from the new album the record label went nuts saying no way, they couldn’t get their heads around what the song was about (can’t blame them though tbh) and there was such thing as a 7+ minute single and therefore no station would play it. Anyway Freddie had lunch with a DJ Kenny Everett who asked Freddie about the new album etc and Freddie told him they were in dispute with BH and played it for Kenny. Kenny subsequently took a copy and played it on his show more than a dozen times in 24 hours and rest as they say … is history! BH was huge!

    Written by Roger with a little help from his then very young son saying Radio Ca Ca when hearing something, then came the song don't forget Fred isn't the only person writing they all would write the songs and all play different instruments and even build their own in the case of Dr Sir Brian May who's both newly knighted by our new King and an Astrophysicist, he built The Red Special with his dad back in the early 1960's and knew how he wanted it to sound, and it's made from items from around the family home, John built the Amps they both used for the sounds and Fred Graphic Designer at the university he met Sir Brian and Roger who had been in a group he joined them, yes Fred is out front, but in his own words he's not the leader of the group he's the person singing the songs the way the person or people who wrote it wanted it too sound

    Great reaction as usual! Even though I was big Queen fan from the early 70s, I never liked this song until I saw Queen perform it @ Live Aid on my TV along with the other billion or so who were watching. There's just something about seeing them perform live that draws me in...such energy, such musicianship, the incredible vocals of Freddie who - in the split second it takes for him to bound on the stage - has everyone eating out of the palm of his hand (including the cameraman at Live Aid...LOL). I just can't help but sit and stare at them...they are simply mesmerizing. LIVE AID was stripped down Queen - no fancy lights, no costumes, no huge stage with all the rigging...just those 4 guys giving the performance of a lifetime in the 20 minutes that was allotted to them. Beginning in January, 1985 Queen undertook an extensive, sold out tour which brought them to Brazil (2 nights - 300,000 people each night), 4 or 5 enormous shows through Australia, a stop in New Zealand for one show and 4 or 5 immense shows in Japan. When they finally returned to the UK in May, they were more than ready for the Wembley venue used for Live Aid in July. Even so, they took time to rehearse for Live Aid for 3 or 4 days before the show - shortening some songs, speeding up others so they could fit 6 of their hit songs into the tight timeframe. They bought huge clocks, placed them all over the rehearsal stage and timed every single movement to the second. There's actually a video of one of the rehearsals - if you have some time, watch it - it's amazing. Even in the rehearsals, Freddie is singing as if he's in front of an audience and the rest are so in sync that I was thinking to myself that just perhaps they didn't have to spend all this time rehearsing. But that wasn't the way Queen rolled...of course they rehearsed....what a bunch of perfectionists...always tight, always in sync, always having each other's back. I just love this band.

      @@galaxyjams I love to watch the few rehearsal tapes that have made it to youtube - Queen taped EVERYTHING all the time so they could see if there were any issues that needed their attention. There's one tape (not the Live Aid rehearsal) where you see Freddie wildly gesturing to Brian to quickly move out of the way of the SMOKE BOMB which was due to go off at the exact spot where Brian had planted himself. (Yes, they even rehearsed the placement of their smoke bombs!) I'm sure it was scary at the time...but it's pretty funny to see. The rehearsal tapes are short - not suitable for an entire reaction from you - but, if you ever some down time, you might want to take a look at them.

    Clapping is not 'Choreographed.' Freddie always engaged the audience and the crowd are familiar with the song. Watch the next couple of minutes where he does a call/response with the audience. Brilliant! Worth noting that this audience are not actually Queen fans (or at least they weren't at the start.)
