This is a perfect example of contrast & compare. By any standard Brian is a very good singer. But Freddie just does things no one else can/could do. Range, power, versatility, subtlety, etc.. A true one of a kind master of his instrument.
Sorry for your loss, Lynn. I know how hard it is; I lost my dog Jasper Thanksgiving night. It leaves a space that can't be filled. I really enjoyed this reaction, Dave. Queen does love a spectacle..."if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing". Their music is so grand at times and we love it!
This is why doing the studio versions is a must, because there are harmonies and nuances that just can't be replicated in live performances. Thanks David, stay safe.
Thanks, Robert. He was a special guy I rescued from living in a 10x10 pen for years. He had his own sofa & was an inside dog the last 4 years of his life. Big coonhound/lab mix but a gentle giant. ❤️🤗🐾🐾
So sorry for the loss of your dog. I lost my dog 2 years ago, and it still hurts. They are "family", and so so hard to accept the loss. I'll never get over losing my dog.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. They are our fur children. I have lost several dogs and cats over the years and I've loved them as much as my 4 children because they were my other children. I hole that you will find peace over time so you can remember every sweet moment you had with him.
John Deacon on the white double bass. They asked him if he could play the double bass, the next day he brought one in and played it for them. Awesome musician.
Next please,I want your opinion: Laps of the gods,seven seas of Rhye and Tear it up ,all together in Wembley 86' ,I think it's one of the best moments of Queen and congratulations for your great work!
Another fabulous reaction! Thank you David, with anyone else I would get really pi**ed off with the interruptions but your passion & sheer joy make me love all the “Jack it backs!” More Queen pls, anything as long as it’s Queen! Condolences to the lady who lost her much loved pet, I know the heartache of this! ❤️
Did anyone notice Deaky playing the double bass in this one, Brian jokingly said John you should play the double bass in this, John went off and learned to play the instrument, they couldn't believe it when he turned up in the studio with it, now that's true professionalism...
A true story. On the day Freddie died, I was listening to night owls on the radio with Alan Robson. It was just before the musical break half way through in which they play a song. It had just been announced that Freddie had passed. Alan explained that the studio didn't have a library of music so they had to take the track in to play, they wanted to play this track for a while but had a few requests before hand and it was the only night they could play it....the track was 'Who wants to live forever'
An emotional song & comfort to a lot of people who have lost loved ones. With 1 week to go can you react to Queens Thank God Its Christmas and also if possible Tyler Warren's stripped back acoustic version from last year. Tyler played Roger in tribute band Queen Extravaganza but is now in Queen itself supporting Rogers drumming & vocals. I think you will like his style.
Great, and what about Deaky on double bass? This video is breathtaking. The song was writen by Brian for Higlander movie. Another , which I love, are The Princess Of The Universe written by Freddie and One Year Of Love written by Deaky
Thank you for confirming that it is Deaky on the double bass! The film doesn't linger on him for long enough, but I thought it was him. They are all so multi-talented.
This is actually part of the soundtrack to the film "Highlander" - Queen wrote it all. I recommend it!--Brian wrote it in his car after having seen a short cut of the movie and heard about the "story" - about being immortal - and watching his love grow old and die - while being immortal himself - .
So sorry Lynn I know it's hard to make that decision he will always be in your heart I had to do it with my cat he was my baby during the second lockdown it's heart breaking and was even worse because I couldn't stay with him or even say good bye to him because the vet took him in and I had wait outside in the car with my friend
IMO this is Queens BEST EVER SONG only 2nd by Mother Love - Brian wrote a stonking classic and both he and Freddie nail it - John on the double bass and Roger killing the drums, this is the only song by Queen which, will make a grown man cry.
¡Excelente reacción! Esta es la versión del video oficial. Pero la versión original oficial termina diferente, y es mucho mejor. No es repetitiva. ¡Y creo que te gustaría muchísimo más!
at the time of the opera stuff with montserrat caballé he‘s already been to weak to sing those songs at their live-performances. i think i remember she‘s stated that in an interview.
I'm so confused, this song ended before its real end...? You may want to revisit it, it doesn't fade out, the ending is one of the best parts and for some reason it's not happening here...? Great reaction, mate, you're awesome!
You like the moomins as I do - with family connections to Finland (I'm from Denmark)?? Did you see John in red jacket with the white double bass playing with a bow? His hair is odd as well. So now you have reacted to it live - and the studioversion - - now you must see the movie Highlander - Brian wrote it in 10 minutes on his way back from seeing a clip form the film .
he couldn‘t sing it live because at this point he was already very sick with aids. but there are sessions with the opera singer and freddie on youtube. also there are demos with him singing the opera parts to show the opera singer how he thought she should sing it. the opera singer was montserrat caballé and the songs are barcelona, how can i go on, and a few more i think. another great classical song with only freddie is „excercises in free love“. as there were no protools or autotune back then and till the end of his life you can always hear freddies real voice in any of his recordings.
Live, or lip syncing, you really, really have to check out Freddie singing opera duets with Spanish opera singer Monsterrat Cabballet. Barcelona How can I go on The Golden boy All of these are amazing
People will eat me... But I recommend you to react to Queen + Adam Lambert - Who wants to live forever (live at the isle of wight festival 2016). I love Freddie so much! But Adam's version blow me away. 🙏
Freddie was already sick by the time he did opera with Montserrat Caballe, which is the main reason he couldn’t perform at that level live anymore (he’d also stopped touring, as he no longer had the stamina). Imagine if he were at full health and could have done it live. We missed out on so much. 😢
Show Lynn Hoffman some support in the comment section you GREAT people! R.I.P Bhudda! ❤
Yes big love & hugs to Lynn ❤
Bhudda's over the rainbow 🌈 Bridge all the way to heaven ✨ RIP 🙏
So sorry Lynn. Big hugs ❤💕
Thanks everyone ❤️🐾🐾
My heart is breaking for you.
My dog I'is so very sick right now. Shes 15 so. Big hugs to you and Buda.
To , Lynn : your pup is with , Freddie now , and you'll see your pup again someday ❤ stay strong , my friend
This is a perfect example of contrast & compare. By any standard Brian is a very good singer. But Freddie just does things no one else can/could do.
Range, power, versatility, subtlety, etc.. A true one of a kind master of his instrument.
as is Brian on his :)
Love your appreciation for Freddie and Queen mate. There will never be another like him. Keep up the good work.
Yes yes yes this is a bad ass version of this song hell how about a triple JACK BACK !!!!!
A beautiful, powerful song, full of emotion. Needs to be seen in the context of the film to be fully appreciated
I am so sorry about your fur baby. I know the heartache. Bless you ✌️this is the best version he sang. ❤️
Did you notice John Deacon played on bass in his red suit? It was written by lead guitarist Brian for the soundtrack to the film 'Highlander'. 👌👌👌
Sorry for your loss, Lynn. I know how hard it is; I lost my dog Jasper Thanksgiving night. It leaves a space that can't be filled. I really enjoyed this reaction, Dave. Queen does love a spectacle..."if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing". Their music is so grand at times and we love it!
Thanks, Betsy. RIP Jasper 🙏🏻🐾🐾❤️
Thank you so much, David 🐕🦺❤️🐾🐾He’ll be in my heart forever. I thought of this song at the vet’s yesterday while we were waiting.
love ya, Lynn!
@@DonnaleaSpencer Love you, too! ❤️
This is why doing the studio versions is a must, because there are harmonies and nuances that just can't be replicated in live performances. Thanks David, stay safe.
Lynn, So sorry about your loss.May the love that you and your pet shared be a source of comfort to you.
Thanks, Robert. He was a special guy I rescued from living in a 10x10 pen for years. He had his own sofa & was an inside dog the last 4 years of his life. Big coonhound/lab mix but a gentle giant. ❤️🤗🐾🐾
So sorry for the loss of your dog. I lost my dog 2 years ago, and it still hurts. They are "family", and so so hard to accept the loss. I'll never get over losing my dog.
Thank you, Kelly. Yes, he was my baby - all 110 pounds of him! 🐾🐾❤️

Oh Lynn, very sorry for your loss...RIP Bhudda X
Thanks, John 🐾🐾❤️
My older brother, Tony, passed away unexpectedly this week on Thursday, too. So this song has been in my head, a LOT.
So sorry to hear that, Marcie. Prayers to you & your family 🙏🏻❤️
Sorry for your loss Mercie 🙏RIP Tony 🙏
@@lynnhoffman247 Thank you for your prayers💕🙏
@@michaelmalone3089 💕
Yay, great song, great reaction. Love and hugs to Lynn Hoffman, take care my friend. Peace
Thanks, Karen ❤️
My deepest sympathy to Lynn. I truly believe our fur babies will greet us on the other, with our other love ones. I hope I'll see mine again.🤗
Thanks 🙏🏻 🤗 I see you, too LOL
Next please,I want your opinion: Laps of the gods,seven seas of Rhye and Tear it up ,all together in Wembley 86' ,I think it's one of the best moments of Queen and congratulations for your great work!
This was written for the movie Highlander by Brian May... Queen actually wrote 5 songs for that movie. One of my favorite Queen songs.
Mother Love was Freddie’s last recording .He was dyeing and Brian had to finish it bc he had passed.🥵🥵🥵😭😭😭♥️
Another fabulous reaction! Thank you David, with anyone else I would get really pi**ed off with the interruptions but your passion & sheer joy make me love all the “Jack it backs!” More Queen pls, anything as long as it’s Queen! Condolences to the lady who lost her much loved pet, I know the heartache of this! ❤️
This one is my favorite with so much emotion ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry, Lynn. Pets just don't live long enough.
This song was written for the movie Highlander.
My Condolences on your loss Lynn Hoffman find comfort in this song and Freddie’s amazing voice
Thank you, Crystal...I do just that. 🎶❤️🐾🐾
This one has to be one of my biggest faves of Queen i was raised on this. Great reaction 👌👌
So sorry, Lynn. It's so hard losing our fur babies. I know your pain and wish you peace and comfort.
You Take My Breath Away & My Melancholy Blues please...
You Take My Breath Away: official version ( full harmonies) AND Hyde Park ( just Freddie at the piano). PLEASE?
You gotta love Brian in this. He starts his solo, then leans forward to turn the music over on the stand! 🤭
Did anyone notice Deaky playing the double bass in this one, Brian jokingly said John you should play the double bass in this, John went off and learned to play the instrument, they couldn't believe it when he turned up in the studio with it, now that's true professionalism...
Sorry for her loss prayers an good Choice
Lyn, so sorry for the loss. Many of us understand your pain and been where you are now. Sending you a heartfelt hug. 🥺
Thanks, Sandra. My younger dog helps me & I’m helping her. She keeps looking for him on our walks; I think she can smell his footsteps.
Lynn, I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Maria. He was a special guy 🐕🦺❤️🐾🐾

Alan Robson's Night Owls, the legend himself! Remember him on the radio when I was a kid! Great story, thank you for sharing!
@@call-me-dezz me too 😊
Yes. You're right, David.
Sorry for your lost, Lynn 😢.

Brilliant piece! Sorry for the loss of your pet, Lynn.

And Roger wrote “A Kind of Magic” for the movie.
@@lynnhoffman247 Yes, I know, but I wrote about my favorite
Thank you for confirming that it is Deaky on the double bass! The film doesn't linger on him for long enough, but I thought it was him. They are all so multi-talented.
Best version ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best one ever.
This one should be the classic everyone wants to hear❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I always like your queen reaction.
Please do queen & Floor Jasen
"Who want to live forever ".
Its also a nice one.
This is actually part of the soundtrack to the film "Highlander" - Queen wrote it all. I recommend it!--Brian wrote it in his car after having seen a short cut of the movie and heard about the "story" - about being immortal - and watching his love grow old and die - while being immortal himself - .
Condolences for your loss, Lynn.
You should also react to The Tenors' version of this song - it's quite a lovely twist.
Thank you.
You did great Jack. It is so powerful and I AM SORRY ABOUT YOUR FUR BABY ❤️
So sorry Lynn I know it's hard to make that decision he will always be in your heart I had to do it with my cat he was my baby during the second lockdown it's heart breaking and was even worse because I couldn't stay with him or even say good bye to him because the vet took him in and I had wait outside in the car with my friend
The greatest version. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Ty for this one✌️
Hi David would you react to Play the Game, live at the Milton Keynes Bowl, you will really feel this one too. ❤️Freddie❤️
This version leaves out the last phrase--"who waits forever anyway"
Yes it does I was waiting for it...awesome last lyric!
Interesting note, Roger was hanging out of his arse filming this video! He admitted he was feeling a little worse for wear that day!
Lynn Buddah will be in safe hands with Freddie may they both rip.
Thanks, Eileen. I rather like the thought of that. 🤗❤️🐾🐾
Keep up the good work mate 👍
One of queens greatest songs
Bhudda waits for you on the other side Lynn.
Yes, he’s there with my dad and my 4 other dogs & 3 cats. Thanks 🙏🏻❤️🐾🐾
IMO this is Queens BEST EVER SONG only 2nd by Mother Love - Brian wrote a stonking classic and both he and Freddie nail it - John on the double bass and Roger killing the drums, this is the only song by Queen which, will make a grown man cry.
More 70s Queen please
RIP BUDDHA
Thank you Laurie. He’s better off but I miss his goofy faces he made.
We live in the hearts we love so we never die
For Buddha 😢💕
Thank you, Diane. He was my heart 🐾🐾❤️
I want to propose to make a reaction to the Live version. But only from a concert in Budapest or Friday Wembley
Another masterpiece✌🏾
Yes you have react live in wembley 1986 there another performance in budabest 1986 you haven't react 😊👏🏻
¡Excelente reacción! Esta es la versión del video oficial. Pero la versión original oficial termina diferente, y es mucho mejor. No es repetitiva. ¡Y creo que te gustaría muchísimo más!
millionaire waltz plz
Freddie Hated lip sinking,💕💕💕
And he could sing Anything live .
On the orchestral rock theme, if you haven't heard it, I do recommend Freddie Mercury BARCELONA official video.
Great stuff David 👏
I am sorry about your fur baby, I know the pain, just remember you gave your baby the best life and your baby really is in animal heaven 🤗
I really like watching your videos. You come across as genuine and not just saying stuff to get more likes and views.
So sorry for the loss of your fur baby!!

Live, or lip syncing, you really, really have to check out Freddie singing opera duets with Spanish opera singer Monsterrat Cabballet.
Barcelona
How can I go on
The Golden boy
All of these are amazing
No one compares to Freddy
