Hope you all enjoyed the vid as well as enjoyed the Queen Wednesday journey! We’re now going to be going through Live Shows for all kinds of different bands every Wednesday, starting with A Kind of Magic Live at Wembley! 😁🔥 Thank you all so much for all the love and support through all these vids! Have a great day darlings! 😁❤️
We were standing at a street car stop in New Orleans just this past Friday and a car pulled up to the light with this song blasting and everyone waiting started singing along, it was such a great moment.
They often had mini concerts where they performed for their Fanclub members and filmed them to use footage for the video. Maybe this was from one of them.
And if you watch "I Want It All", you find out he could also rock in a sharp-pressed button-down and a tie. While dying of AIDS, and still making it sound great.
, Freddy was a great singer but you can't ignore the fact he was gay. Singing about a woman with a big ass and how much it gets him off just isn't a gay man's Forte. It is so pretentious it's complete fucking bullshit.
I mean, how could you not? This is one song where I actually kind of wish you guys had done a live version... they rock it harder and faster, and the live harmonies are killer. The Paris version that’s on the Bo Rhap soundtrack is my favorite... tuck that away for a future live Wednesday!
This song has special meaning to me on many levels. I was living and working in New Orleans in 1980. My older brother back in Illinois was in the final stages of a rare leukemia. During what would be his last remission he came down to visit and wanted to hit Canal ST and have some fun. At one point we found ourselves in what we thought was a strip joint. After a few drinks the lights go down and Fat bottom girls starts blaring out of the house PA. Suddenly this enormous black "lady" comes out on stage and starts dancing and swinging around the pole. After while we realized she was really a he in drag. As we were leaving we noticed the sign over the door called "The most beautiful boys in the world".....ANyway they always say you remember where you were the 1st time you hear a new song and that is a fact:)
Andy and Alex another great reaction 😊 I will suggest some Queen You take my breath away - Hyde Park 76 Stone cold crazy In the lap of the gods - Rainbow 74 ( the Rainbow show is one of my fav ) Now I am here - Wembley 1986 Save me - Montreal 1981 My Melancholy Blues - Houston 77 ....... Just to name a few. Thank you. Cheers friends ❤
The best live concert movie of all time - The Last Waltz by The Band and over a dozen guest stars, directed by Martin Scorsese. Check out the whole movie including the interview segments between songs!
When my husband and I first started going out in college, we bonded over the fact that we both have the same favorite Queen song--and this is it. He actually got to see Queen live in concert before Freddie died...I shall never forgive him for that (we've been married 31 years).
Yes. Yes. So much yes. I will be honest by saying I have never really been a fan of "Another One Bites The Dust" because it was so overplayed at every high school sports event I went to/played in but the version at that concert completely reformed me. That little strutt he does with the mic stand under his ass across the stage while looking at Roger gets me every damn time ❤❤❤ hands down, in my opinion, best live concert of them and the quality of the film is UNBELIEVEABLE!
Hey guys I'm 56 yrs old rockin lady I try to teach my grandkids to listen to good old rock music so I'm really glad to see you guys listening but... Guys you have got to check out AC DC LIVE AT RIVERFLATT
I have mentioned soooooo many times Andy and Alex, what incredible Queen full concerts to listen too. Live at Wembley Friday 12th of July 1986, Live in Budapest Hungary, and Live in Montreal 1981.
Queens my favorite band by far, any queen reaction video i get in my recommended i have to see it and fat bottom girls is one of their best in my opinion
@Matthew Lee Sorry bud, had to eventually, it’s not the end of Queen though, just won’t have it every week, gotta have a little more wiggle room for other groups too, lots of exploring to do! 😭😁
55 yr old Grandma here....having flashbacks. As a teenager in the 70's and early 80's, I used to watch The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on my 13 inch B & W TV late at night, which is how I'd see videos like this one. Then, when I'd get an extra dollar, I'd go to the record store and buy the 45 for 99¢. I still have my original 45 of Fat Bottomed Girls and Bicycle. This just made me reminisce about that. You guys make me feel like dusting off my record player and playing that 45 once again. 😉💖 Thanks, once again, for the reaction videos you guys. 👍 You have good taste in music.
Vote for Queen Live version: Stone Cold Crazy - live at rainbow’74 Tie Your Mother Down - live at Montreal’81 Now I’m Here - live at Wembley’86 or in any other 70s 80s concert (been on the set list most times) Rockin good! 🤘🏻🤟🏻 Video/Studio version: Princes of The Universe - A Kind fo Magic album Let Me Entertain You - Jazz album
Only Freddie could wear shiny pants without a shirt and pull it off so well! What a showman and a talented vocalist! The band was awesome in all aspects. This is a great song! "Ride 'em, cowboy!" lol
crazy how far ahead of his time he was talking about fat bottomed girls and look at the popularity of it now with J LO AND Iggy Azalea and others, wow Queen. ps i am 73 so i have listened to them for a long time and most of the pioneers of metal i guess ive heard most of the great ones. they are here as long as music is allowed.💚🎸🛠
This song, and Bicycle Races, came from the album Jazz which came with a poster with a photo of a load of naked girls with fat bottoms riding bicycles. Gotta love the 70s
I am loving you guys get into Queen. Fat Bottomed Girls Is ‘our song’-it’s just a great, funny song, with Freddie & the boys doing all the overdubs. I’m not gonna make any suggestions-I love all Queen songs. Watching you guys react makes my day-keep it up.
Finally this song has been listened too. Alex I love how you are passionate about Queen. Andy you are awesome for listening to this song. This song needs full volume, thank you so much guys for this video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes!After this version they made the edited/revised version...which is also very good in it’s own right. If you could listen to them back to back, even better. Still waiting for Stone Cold Crazy at the Rainbow too.
I had read this was filmed at a concert location, but maybe w/o an audience. A lot of their early 'studio videos" (and Radio Ga Ga, etc) were filmed in front of members of their Fan Club, which is still in existence.
I love that you mentioned Bicycle Race in this video. Bicycle Race is the B-side to this song and the songs reference each other the lyrics. There is a line in this songs that says get on your bikes and ride. Then there is a line in Bicycle Race that says Fat bottom girls they'll be riding today. Also fun fact, Freddie wrote Bicycle Race after watching the Tour de France go by his hotel.
Oh yes!!!! Freddie, Freddie !! just another of my favourites & the guys as always superb 😍😍 all queens live concerts are greats..always good to see & hear your comments guys 😘
Pat McNair remember it’s not like Queen is leaving forever we just only have so many days to explore music and we get asked to do so many live shows that we decided to try doing it instead but that being said we just need to make sure all the love stuff we watch is just as good 😏
One of my favorite Queen live performance is their cover of the songs "You're So Square Baby I Don't Care", "Hello Mary Lou Goodbye Heart" and "Tutti Frutti" at Wembley '86. The whole energy and the way all of Queen is up at the front together instead of being spread around the stage like they usually are is so amazing. That performance really captures all of their personalities which I love. (If you do decide to react to it there's a video with all three songs) 💛💛
Please, please the entire Concert of Queen at Wembley in 1986!!! You guys reacting to some songs from this concert is great, but there is so much 'in-between-stuff' you are missing.
So, I’m gonna throw two very different Queen performances at you cos I know you’ll enjoy them. Number 1 is Who Wants To Live Forever live at Wembley 1986 (preferably Saturday but doesn’t really matter), it’s one of Freddie’s most powerful and intense vocal showcases and it’s a must watch. Second, and one much more obscure, is Back Chat live at The Bowl 1985. Back Chat was one of their disco songs from the infamous Hot Space, and tbh I doubt you’d enjoy the studio version. But for this live performance they chuck in one of my favourite May guitar solos ever (no lie) and Freddie’s showmanship make it such a fun performance to watch. But of course, any Queen live show is a win!
1970's 'Bad Company' by Bad Company. The original. They call Paul Rogers 'The Voice' for a reason. This guy was known for laying down tracks in one take. Oh yeah, he also toured with Queen a few years ago doing vocals for them.
Best thing about Queen is that every song is completely different from every other. From Rockabilly to metal, even threw in a little disco. They could do it all and they rocked it. Freddie gets a ton of the attention, but there isn’t a slouch in that band. Every one of them was amazing. The only thing I don’t like about this song is that it can be one of those songs that gets in my head and won’t go away for days.
It's such a trip watching you youngins' discovering *real* music - ppl actually playing instruments, not autotune or soundboard wizardry, that took them *years* to perfect, pouring their hearts & souls into their creations. We just don't have it going on, anymore. Not many actual Artists left, the loss of Prince & Tom Petty were terrible blows. Dry times, indeed, but keep digging! There's a whole Universe still to discover!
Hahaa! I always thought that Freddie had something to do with the writing of this song and then I found out it was Brian May!!! this is my fun Queen song!!
Great reaction, I love Alex's long hair! You guys work so well together. Not live versions, but you guys have to see Princes of The Universe, it is one of Queen's best songs, in my opinion. It will show you guys that Queen rocked hard in the 80's as well. Gimme The Prize is another interesting 80's song, it is a heavy metal song, with a bagpipe guitar solo! How can you go wrong with that combination! One of my other favorite live performances is Nirvana Unplugged in New York, Where Did You Sleep Last Night.
@@alexfromandyandalex8032 Wow, that is awesome to hear! I can't wait! And a relieve as well, as I said it is one of my favorite Queen songs. I was afraid you guys might miss out on it. You should check out Gimme The Prize as well, it is actually from the same album and it was also written for the Highlander movie just like Princes of the Universe. Freddie wrote Princes of the Universe for the movie and Brian wrote Gimme The Prize, it is the theme song of the villain (apparently). It is very heavy metal (for that period). As a vocalist it might interest you, it was really a throat destroyer song. Even if you just check it out for yourself. Queen have a lot of interesting metal influences, you guys never really covered those types of songs.
By far and away, hands down, no holds barred.....and even Queen admits it themselves (humbly enough)........THE best live performance I've ever witnessed was Queen's Live Aid performance in 1985 at Wembley Stadium, simul-cast all over the world. At least two stadiums on opposite sides of the Atlantic with over 100,000 attendees singing, clapping along in unison. Freddie and Queen were SO on their game in that ~20 minute set it's unbelievable. I've seen interviews with other acts who performed at that same concert and they were in universal agreement.......Queen blew EVERYone else off the stage; couldn't touch that performance. Best live performance EVER, IMHO. If you've seen "Bohemian Rhapsody", that movie did a spot-on re-enactment of most of their performance (left out "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "We Will Rock You", sadly).....but the music you heard was the real recording, including the crowd reactions. Stunning. I can't think of any other live performance that is even in the same neighborhood of that one. The stars aligned for Queen that day.
Peter Gabriel, 1993 (or 1994) Secret World Concert, “In Your Eyes”. An amazing song and performance. You should watch the whole concert sometime. I wish I could have seen this in person. 💕
A REALLY GOOD LIVE PERFORMANCE is “I’m in love with my car “ Queen Rock Montreal 1981. You can hear the drums so much clearer in live performance and you get to see Roger sing in such a raw light. Check it out!!
I remember when they announced that he had died. One of the saddest days of my life. He was brilliant and and I so wish he knew that you guys were doing this! Still sad! So with that being said...Thank you so much for me being able to relive through your eyes!
Dianna Barbee well we arnt leaving Queen we are just not doing it weekly ❤️ we still very much plan on exploring new music and in fact like the video said we are doing Queen next week too
Live shows!! It is still gonna be Queen 👑 live shows preference for me💕 but I’m only one subscriber. I suggest the live Stone Cold Crazy @ the Rainbow ‘74. I hope one of these days, you boys will hear my plea😂. Fat Bottom Girls, Brian May’s song... I did not realize it was him in the beginning, I would associate him to White Queen type of song... but he’s versatile, so...😂 thanks for the nice Wednesday you’ve brought to us, Queenies!! 9.4 rate is quite high, Andy! Thanks!!! Glad you like it that much😊
@Andy & Alex A few days ago I highly recommended that you watch the Pink Floyd live concert at "Live 8" in London in 2005 - not only one of their greatest live performances ever, but all four members, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason were reunited there for the first time after their years long legal strife. Playing "Breathe", " Money", "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb", Pink Floyd played their hearts and souls out - it makes one literally emotional to watch. Sheer pleasure ! Another " Live" video you must watch is Queen playing "Headlong" in a recording studio somewhere. The video from Queen's official RUclips channel is maybe not a true live performance, more of an arranged music video, but it is not only iconic that it was one of Freddie Mercury's last songs he recorded, from the "Innuendo" album, but it shows the boys having a fantastic time together and one would never have thought that Fred was so desperately ill - he bounces around the setting like a young god, at least 20 years younger ! Combined with the fantastic heavy rock music of the song on top and one can witness Queen at their absolute best ! Watch the video, lads, you will never forget it ! So, there you have my two heartily felt recommendations for your "Wednesday Live" programs, both featuring fantastic bands playing for all intents and purposes at the end of their combined musical careers, united together in their friendship to one another and their love of playing wonderful music. Knowing your taste in music now, you both will definitely love these performances. 😘
Can't believe I forgot to mention David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" from "Ziggy Stardust - the motion picture". Still has my all-time favorite guitar solo. I will convert you to being a Mick Ronson fan yet! :p
Now your doing live shows and as a senior citizen that went to these concerts, this is gonna bring back some cool memories. The drugs were insane back then and the women were epic. Looking forward to Wednesday
Feels like '39 you say? Well they were both written by good ol' Bri! Will miss Queen Wednesdays! Looking forward to some live show viewings though :) I'll suggest again, Now I'm Here at Wembley 86, it's a treat! Not sure about Magic even for the live version, I'd have probably gone to the toilet during that song had I been at the show! 😂
I kinda get what he's going for. That jangly strumming feel is similar to '39. Especially where we hear the guitar by itself. One of Bri's specialties.
Looks like my last Queen Wednesday next week. Thanks Andy and Alex maybe catch you when I get a notification you have done something Queen. There is soo much material of this band that needs to be discovered. See ya on the flip side guys, love from Australia. ❤️🦘🇦🇺
Live At The Rainbow '74 Queen, Hammersmith '75 Queen, Hyde Park '76, Earls Court '77, Houston '77, Paris '78, Hammersmith '79, all great 70s Queen shows I suggest you guys check.
Staying Power live at Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982!! It is so much different than the studio version: Roger's powerful drumming take it to another level. And Deacy plays electric guitar instead of bass guitar!
Great suggestion; I was at that concert. The band flew in on a helicopter over the crowd and I remember Freddie hanging out the door waving to everyone.
Queen tried to regularly feature their stage act (aka their live set-up) as their promo videos, especially in the seventies, because they wanted people to know they were a working live band, touring regularly and all over the world. See, at the time, a lot of their contemporaries were "studio" bands, who focused their attention on studio albums and either didn't tour a lot or, in Queen's opinion, weren't very good onstage, even though their albums were great. Queen wanted people to know that the quality you got on the album was what you'd get in concert if you came to a show. Remember, this was all pre-internet, so word-of-mouth, magazines, newspapers, promo videos and radio stations were the only ways to get your name and reputation out there.
Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow! It's amazing! It's short, though, so maybe a double-whammy with Lap of the Gods from the same show (1974) featuring Roger's otherworldly falsetto. :)
@@barbhoffman4531 stone cold crazy and keep yourself alive are a good combo and both are "sorta" short (not really keep yourself a live but lets pretend it is!)
@Jasna Talking about wanting to break something, a lot of people say the same thing when they listen to Gimme The Prize! Another kick ass heavy metal tune from Queen.
"Queen - SAVE ME - Live from Hammersmith 1979" is very strong, or "Queen - Save Me (Live) High Definition Montreal" sounds and looks great. Basically any live version of Save Me is awesome!
Rush - Live in Toronto 1984 (Grace Under Pressure Tour) is a fantastic concert, as is their 1981 Live in Toronto (Moving Pictures Tour). I recommend the songs The Weapon from the 1984 show and Xanadu or Red Barchetta from the 1981 show.
YOU GUYS CAN'T STOP AT JUST LIVE QUEEN!!!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY BRILLIANT SONGS THAT THEY NEVER DID LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! ok I'll stop yelling now, I know you said you'd still do a couple, but still! Don't listen to people who say to only watch live stuff. Yes Queen live is one of the 7 wonders of the world, but they revolutionized so much in the studio, they basically picked up where the Beatles left off in utilizing the studio as an instrument and you will miss soooooo much if you don't hear it as well. Extra sounds and harmonies that they don't/ physically can't do live. Do both, both is good!!!!
Maya English hey there to reiterate we absolutely don’t plan on stopping studio Queen stuff, it’s just not going to be tied to a day, it could come up on Monday Wednesday or Friday ❤️ there’s plenty of Queen ahead
**Zenobia** he was in broadway for awhile i think. Brian and Roger said in a documentary that he was the best choice because he has stage presence like Freddie.
Janis Joplin “Ball and Chain” live at Monterey Pop is amazing. The video shows momma Cass (from the mamas and the papas) reaction and her jaw is literally on the floor.
The Hero/We Will Rock You (fast) opening ti Live at The Bowl, the energy is off the scale and the single best opening to one of their concerts I’ve ever heard.
Good morning guys!! So glad you chose the video. Freddie is just off the chain in this one! He's just so stinkin' hot. Sorry, has to be said. 10 out of 10 for hotness. I suggest Dragon Attack Live at Montreal. The whole concert at Montreal is amazing.
“Get on your bikes and ride”! I remember when “Jazz” came out, it had a poster of a bunch of naked girls riding bikes included. I’m pretty sure it was limited to the first pressing.
I’ve said it so many times but you guys owe it to yourselves to watch Save Me live at Montreal. If you are moving on a bit from Queen then this is definitely the one you want to sign off on.
We aren’t moving away from Queen it just is going to be less periodic so we can see some of the amazing live shows we’ve been suggested. Certainly not an end. It’s just difficult getting to all our suggestions with only 3 days available. We thought this change would still allow us to do Queen while being able to explore other bands and other live shows (Queen and otherwise) as well 😊
dana appleton don’t worry we are still doing them 😊 they just won’t be on a specific day

I remember, way back in the days of yore, when I attended a church-run disco back in the late 70's, (yes, I'm that old), the DJ made the, 'mistake', of playing this song, to which one rather indignant Victorian misery of a grandmother, (not mine!), complained because it have the words, 'fat bottomed', in the title, and they in their self-righteousness deemed it to be vulgar in the extreme! Even as a kid, back then, I found that totally incredulous! I can laugh about it now, but back then, I couldn't believe someone could be so uptight over such an innocuous song title! The song itself is a fantastic example of what Queen were doing in the latter part of the 70's. They were already flying high with their previous, 'News of the World', album, so when, 'Jazz', came along, any single off it was almost guaranteed to do well. And they did! 'Bicycle Race', is the other one, which compliments this song and are, usually, played together, being part of a double A-side single. Another fantastic song from this album, which is unusual, is, 'Mustapha.' Give it a whirl! Edit: You already did that one! DOH! Try, 'Dreamer's Ball.'
Hope you all enjoyed the vid as well as enjoyed the Queen Wednesday journey!
We’re now going to be going through Live Shows for all kinds of different bands every
Wednesday, starting with
A Kind of Magic Live at Wembley! 😁🔥
Thank you all so much for all the love and support through all these vids! Have a great day darlings! 😁❤️
Andy & Alex check out you take my breath away live by queen
@@Mitchis_Euphoria omg yes please
Andy & Alex when you say live shows do you mean the whole concert or just single songs?
@emmasadler1
Mostly single songs only because we don’t have too much free time sadly 😭
So does live shows mean you also watch the performance (if video available)?
We were standing at a street car stop in New Orleans just this past Friday and a car pulled up to the light with this song blasting and everyone waiting started singing along, it was such a great moment.
Jo B sooo good
Jo B that is so cool..if I had been there I would have rocked out too..lol. love this song....Freddie was the best!!
I live in New Orleans for 8 years...this is so amazingly, wonderfully typical. Thank you.
That story make me so happy and I wasn't even there.
What a great band Queen was . They had a great chemistry, harmonies and each of them had magic !
Great reaction guys. Keep in mind that this video was made BEFORE MTV. They made these things just because they wanted to.
They often had mini concerts where they performed for their Fanclub members and filmed them to use footage for the video. Maybe this was from one of them.
Most Videos made before MTV were made for band live or record promotional's. TV ads etc.
This video was for Top of the Pops, a weekly Brittish show
The song is shortened by about 47 seconds on this video.. I sing this one as a favorite on karaoke nights.."GET ON YOUR BIKES AN RIDE!!"
Amateurish, lip-synching hacks. Third tier group at best.
The flip side of this song is 'Bicycle'....therefore the 'get on your bike and ride' Whew! what a trip!
And the "fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today" line from Bicycle Race too, both songs allude to each other
The R rated with topless girls on bicycles?
MartelAndQueen the original vinyl single was a double a piece so they could be played together
Bicycle Race
Freddie Marcury, can perform in leather pants, or Betty Boop t-shirt or shorts and a Snoopy cap and make it work.
PipoZePoulp he also can perform with booty shorts and a hat and get away with it
Have you noticed Alex looks a bit like Freddie..
The man was 110% swag...
And if you watch "I Want It All", you find out he could also rock in a sharp-pressed button-down and a tie. While dying of AIDS, and still making it sound great.
, Freddy was a great singer but you can't ignore the fact he was gay. Singing about a woman with a big ass and how much it gets him off just isn't a gay man's Forte. It is so pretentious it's complete fucking bullshit.
I like how Alex knows the song and is still blown away by the opening notes.
Kathleen every time 😂😂
I mean, how could you not? This is one song where I actually kind of wish you guys had done a live version... they rock it harder and faster, and the live harmonies are killer. The Paris version that’s on the Bo Rhap soundtrack is my favorite... tuck that away for a future live Wednesday!
Who isn't...That chord is tight
This song has special meaning to me on many levels. I was living and working in New Orleans in 1980. My older brother back in Illinois was in the final stages of a rare leukemia. During what would be his last remission he came down to visit and wanted to hit Canal ST and have some fun. At one point we found ourselves in what we thought was a strip joint. After a few drinks the lights go down and Fat bottom girls starts blaring out of the house PA. Suddenly this enormous black "lady" comes out on stage and starts dancing and swinging around the pole.

As we were leaving we noticed the sign over the door called "The most beautiful boys in the world".....ANyway they always say you remember where you were the 1st time you hear a new song and that is a fact:)
😂
I just saw this and have to tell you the live version at the bowl...so much better.
Andy and Alex another great reaction 😊
I will suggest some Queen
You take my breath away - Hyde Park 76
Stone cold crazy
In the lap of the gods - Rainbow 74 ( the Rainbow show is one of my fav )
Now I am here - Wembley 1986
Save me - Montreal 1981
My Melancholy Blues - Houston 77 .......
Just to name a few.
Thank you. Cheers friends ❤
totally agree
"She was such a naughty nanny" ... Andy looks at Alex like "whaaaat"??
Musician, musician, musician, musician, and singer, singer ,singer. Now THAT is Queen. 4 super talented song wriiters.
The best live concert movie of all time - The Last Waltz by The Band and over a dozen guest stars, directed by Martin Scorsese. Check out the whole movie including the interview segments between songs!
When my husband and I first started going out in college, we bonded over the fact that we both have the same favorite Queen song--and this is it. He actually got to see Queen live in concert before Freddie died...I shall never forgive him for that (we've been married 31 years).
For me Live At Montreal 1981 is the best Queen live show ever
Yes. Yes. So much yes. I will be honest by saying I have never really been a fan of "Another One Bites The Dust" because it was so overplayed at every high school sports event I went to/played in but the version at that concert completely reformed me. That little strutt he does with the mic stand under his ass across the stage while looking at Roger gets me every damn time ❤❤❤ hands down, in my opinion, best live concert of them and the quality of the film is UNBELIEVEABLE!
Live in Houston 1977
Agree.
by far, bro.
jjmillenium blackshade yes & live aid!!
Hey guys I'm 56 yrs old rockin lady I try to teach my grandkids to listen to good old rock music so I'm really glad to see you guys listening but... Guys you have got to check out AC DC LIVE AT RIVERFLATT

Great video - will miss Queen Wednesdays, and you had SO MANY more great songs to hear (many never performed live) - but thanks for the fabulous ride.
Roger Utting don’t worry! We are still hitting Queen it just isn’t tied to a specific day 😏
Keep yourself alive & Another One Bites The Dust (Live Rock Montreal) 👍
This is one of my most favourite Queen songs EVER. It is just such FUN.
I knew you were going to drop the weekly Queen reactions 😭😭😭
@Matthew Lee
Sorry bud, had to eventually, it’s not the end of Queen though, just won’t have it every week, gotta have a little more wiggle room for other groups too, lots of exploring to do! 😭😁
Andy & Alex okay 🤣

crazy how far ahead of his time he was talking about fat bottomed girls and look at the popularity of it now with J LO AND Iggy Azalea and others, wow Queen. ps i am 73 so i have listened to them for a long time and most of the pioneers of metal i guess ive heard most of the great ones. they are here as long as music is allowed.💚🎸🛠

So excited for the live A kind of magic video. I reckon you guys will totally dig it. 😊
Liar is a fab Performance video, any Live concert from Queen is a must, at the moment I am watching Live at the Rainbow 1974 and Live at the Odeon.
Live at the Odeon is one of my favorites.
I am loving you guys get into Queen. Fat Bottomed Girls Is ‘our song’-it’s just a great, funny song, with Freddie & the boys doing all the overdubs. I’m not gonna make any suggestions-I love all Queen songs. Watching you guys react makes my day-keep it up.
ONE VISION (extended version)!!!!
SERIOUSLY
Knocking On Heaven's Door Live-Guns N Roses @ Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert 1992 is one of my favorite performances ever
this tune hit the radio like sledge hammer, boom it was was every where.
a great song to get a speeding ticket because of.
I was very fortunate to see them in the 80s. Phenomenal concert. No one comes close to Freddie
Finally this song has been listened too. Alex I love how you are passionate about Queen. Andy you are awesome for listening to this song. This song needs full volume, thank you so much guys for this video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lap of the gods live at Rainbow 74 is amazing especially with Roger’s falsettos!!! You should check it out
Giorgia Inaimo Pieber yes!
I have been saying this for MONTHS!
Yeeeessss
Yes!After this version they made the edited/revised version...which is also very good in it’s own right. If you could listen to them back to back, even better. Still waiting for Stone Cold Crazy at the Rainbow too.
Giorgia Inaimo Pieber Oh YES!!!
I had read this was filmed at a concert location, but maybe w/o an audience. A lot of their early 'studio videos" (and Radio Ga Ga, etc) were filmed in front of members of their Fan Club, which is still in existence.
I love that you mentioned Bicycle Race in this video. Bicycle Race is the B-side to this song and the songs reference each other the lyrics. There is a line in this songs that says get on your bikes and ride. Then there is a line in Bicycle Race that says Fat bottom girls they'll be riding today. Also fun fact, Freddie wrote Bicycle Race after watching the Tour de France go by his hotel.
Oh yes!!!! Freddie, Freddie !! just another of my favourites & the guys as always superb 😍😍 all queens live concerts are greats..always good to see & hear your comments guys 😘
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (live) Iron Maiden is modern day Opera at its best. Unquestionable musicianship, unequalled vocals.
Really sad to hear you're dropping Queen Wednesdays I looked forward to it! I'm going to miss this. Wembley '86 is an absolute must!
Pat McNair remember it’s not like Queen is leaving forever we just only have so many days to explore music and we get asked to do so many live shows that we decided to try doing it instead but that being said we just need to make sure all the love stuff we watch is just as good 😏
Wednesday has been a favorite far of the week!! Lots of Queen live to check out!They delivered, even just giving you a fake video!
I'm gonna miss that too...
July 12th Sat version !
The one vision tour you mean? Yeah a must must must... best live concert I have ever seen !!!
The song was written by Brian May Queens guitarist..
One of my favorite Queen live performance is their cover of the songs "You're So Square Baby I Don't Care", "Hello Mary Lou Goodbye Heart" and "Tutti Frutti" at Wembley '86. The whole energy and the way all of Queen is up at the front together instead of being spread around the stage like they usually are is so amazing. That performance really captures all of their personalities which I love. (If you do decide to react to it there's a video with all three songs) 💛💛
Yes! I love Queen performing old time Rock 'n Roll songs! They had so much fun with it!
Yes, their “the band at the front of the stage” routines in their concerts were great! They often did Love of my Life & 39 in these routines!
Please, please the entire Concert of Queen at Wembley in 1986!!!
You guys reacting to some songs from this concert is great, but there is so much 'in-between-stuff' you are missing.
So, I’m gonna throw two very different Queen performances at you cos I know you’ll enjoy them. Number 1 is Who Wants To Live Forever live at Wembley 1986 (preferably Saturday but doesn’t really matter), it’s one of Freddie’s most powerful and intense vocal showcases and it’s a must watch.
Second, and one much more obscure, is Back Chat live at The Bowl 1985. Back Chat was one of their disco songs from the infamous Hot Space, and tbh I doubt you’d enjoy the studio version. But for this live performance they chuck in one of my favourite May guitar solos ever (no lie) and Freddie’s showmanship make it such a fun performance to watch. But of course, any Queen live show is a win!
Thanks guys Love this song😊
One of the most fabulous things about Queen is that no two songs sound alike but all are unmistakably Queen...
1970's 'Bad Company' by Bad Company. The original. They call Paul Rogers 'The Voice' for a reason. This guy was known for laying down tracks in one take. Oh yeah, he also toured with Queen a few years ago doing vocals for them.
You guys need to check out "Dragon Attack" by Queen from the album "The Game". It's a rocking jam 🎸 shows their true musicianship! It thumps!! 👍
We actually already have! The reactions out
🔥🔥
Sweet, I'll check it out! 👍I've got to catch up, been busy! Keep rocking guys! 🎸 Great job! 👊
Love this song, the louder the better. Another good driving song.
The Jimi Hendrix Expierence - Wild Thing live at Monterey pop festival 1967 (The one where he lights his guitar on fire while performing)
Best thing about Queen is that every song is completely different from every other. From Rockabilly to metal, even threw in a little disco. They could do it all and they rocked it. Freddie gets a ton of the attention, but there isn’t a slouch in that band. Every one of them was amazing. The only thing I don’t like about this song is that it can be one of those songs that gets in my head and won’t go away for days.
It's such a trip watching you youngins' discovering *real* music - ppl actually playing instruments, not autotune or soundboard wizardry, that took them *years* to perfect, pouring their hearts & souls into their creations.
We just don't have it going on, anymore. Not many actual Artists left, the loss of Prince & Tom Petty were terrible blows.
Dry times, indeed, but keep digging! There's a whole Universe still to discover!
Hahaa! I always thought that Freddie had something to do with the writing of this song and then I found out it was Brian May!!! this is my fun Queen song!!
Great reaction, I love Alex's long hair! You guys work so well together. Not live versions, but you guys have to see Princes of The Universe, it is one of Queen's best songs, in my opinion. It will show you guys that Queen rocked hard in the 80's as well. Gimme The Prize is another interesting 80's song, it is a heavy metal song, with a bagpipe guitar solo! How can you go wrong with that combination! One of my other favorite live performances is Nirvana Unplugged in New York, Where Did You Sleep Last Night.
**Zenobia** I’ve actually heard princes of the universe and plan on a music share Monday for it soon
@@alexfromandyandalex8032 Wow, that is awesome to hear! I can't wait! And a relieve as well, as I said it is one of my favorite Queen songs. I was afraid you guys might miss out on it. You should check out Gimme The Prize as well, it is actually from the same album and it was also written for the Highlander movie just like Princes of the Universe. Freddie wrote Princes of the Universe for the movie and Brian wrote Gimme The Prize, it is the theme song of the villain (apparently). It is very heavy metal (for that period). As a vocalist it might interest you, it was really a throat destroyer song. Even if you just check it out for yourself. Queen have a lot of interesting metal influences, you guys never really covered those types of songs.
By far and away, hands down, no holds barred.....and even Queen admits it themselves (humbly enough)........THE best live performance I've ever witnessed was Queen's Live Aid performance in 1985 at Wembley Stadium, simul-cast all over the world. At least two stadiums on opposite sides of the Atlantic with over 100,000 attendees singing, clapping along in unison. Freddie and Queen were SO on their game in that ~20 minute set it's unbelievable. I've seen interviews with other acts who performed at that same concert and they were in universal agreement.......Queen blew EVERYone else off the stage; couldn't touch that performance. Best live performance EVER, IMHO. If you've seen "Bohemian Rhapsody", that movie did a spot-on re-enactment of most of their performance (left out "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "We Will Rock You", sadly).....but the music you heard was the real recording, including the crowd reactions. Stunning. I can't think of any other live performance that is even in the same neighborhood of that one. The stars aligned for Queen that day.
Peter Gabriel, 1993 (or 1994) Secret World Concert, “In Your Eyes”. An amazing song and performance. You should watch the whole concert sometime. I wish I could have seen this in person. 💕
I did and it was one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen. (and I have seen Rush 35 times!)
A REALLY GOOD LIVE PERFORMANCE is “I’m in love with my car “ Queen Rock Montreal 1981. You can hear the drums so much clearer in live performance and you get to see Roger sing in such a raw light. Check it out!!
@Katarina Hallerbach
We did a vid for that one! LOVED IT!!
I remember when they announced that he had died. One of the saddest days of my life. He was brilliant and and I so wish he knew that you guys were doing this! Still sad! So with that being said...Thank you so much for me being able to relive through your eyes!
Dianna Barbee well we arnt leaving Queen we are just not doing it weekly ❤️ we still very much plan on exploring new music and in fact like the video said we are doing Queen next week too
@@alexfromandyandalex8032 Now you need to figure out a way to react to AC/DC! Thunderstruck!
One of my favourites is I got to break free!
As far as live goes the concert live at Wembley is great any song from that show is amazing
Live shows!! It is still gonna be Queen 👑 live shows preference for me💕 but I’m only one subscriber. I suggest the live Stone Cold Crazy @ the Rainbow ‘74. I hope one of these days, you boys will hear my plea😂. Fat Bottom Girls, Brian May’s song... I did not realize it was him in the beginning, I would associate him to White Queen type of song... but he’s versatile, so...😂 thanks for the nice Wednesday you’ve brought to us, Queenies!! 9.4 rate is quite high, Andy! Thanks!!! Glad you like it that much😊
@Wing
Hey wing! And yes I’ll be sure to throw in Queen for the live mixes often! Glad you’ve enjoyed all the Wednesday’s friend! 😁
I read that Brian wrote the song for Freddie because he liked fat bottom girls...and boys.
Sheer Heart Attack is hair raising❤
@Andy & Alex
A few days ago I highly recommended that you watch the Pink Floyd live concert at "Live 8" in London in 2005 - not only one of their greatest live performances ever, but all four members, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason were reunited there for the first time after their years long legal strife. Playing "Breathe", " Money", "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb", Pink Floyd played their hearts and souls out - it makes one literally emotional to watch. Sheer pleasure !
Another " Live" video you must watch is Queen playing "Headlong" in a recording studio somewhere. The video from Queen's official RUclips channel is maybe not a true live performance, more of an arranged music video, but it is not only iconic that it was one of Freddie Mercury's last songs he recorded, from the "Innuendo" album, but it shows the boys having a fantastic time together and one would never have thought that Fred was so desperately ill - he bounces around the setting like a young god, at least 20 years younger ! Combined with the fantastic heavy rock music of the song on top and one can witness Queen at their absolute best ! Watch the video, lads, you will never forget it !
So, there you have my two heartily felt recommendations for your "Wednesday Live" programs, both featuring fantastic bands playing for all intents and purposes at the end of their combined musical careers, united together in their friendship to one another and their love of playing wonderful music. Knowing your taste in music now, you both will definitely love these performances. 😘
SNP1999 perfect suggestions 🔥🔥🔥
Hungarian Rhapsody (Budapest concert) - Who Wants to live forever. Top notch!
I'll drop it again. "Stevie ray vaughan voodoo child live in Tokyo".
Nick Rojas SRV coming soon he’s a big reason I wanted to do live shows next! 🔥🔥
@@alexfromandyandalex8032 great. I can't wait for the reaction video.
I just got done watching the live version at the bowl and so much more energy, but still a great song, none the less!
Can't believe I forgot to mention David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" from "Ziggy Stardust - the motion picture". Still has my all-time favorite guitar solo. I will convert you to being a Mick Ronson fan yet! :p
Ronnnooooooo
Now your doing live shows and as a senior citizen that went to these concerts, this is gonna bring back some cool memories. The drugs were insane back then and the women were epic. Looking forward to Wednesday
Feels like '39 you say? Well they were both written by good ol' Bri!
Will miss Queen Wednesdays! Looking forward to some live show viewings though :) I'll suggest again, Now I'm Here at Wembley 86, it's a treat!
Not sure about Magic even for the live version, I'd have probably gone to the toilet during that song had I been at the show! 😂
I kinda get what he's going for. That jangly strumming feel is similar to '39. Especially where we hear the guitar by itself. One of Bri's specialties.
Looks like my last Queen Wednesday next week. Thanks Andy and Alex maybe catch you when I get a notification you have done something Queen. There is soo much material of this band that needs to be discovered. See ya on the flip side guys, love from Australia. ❤️🦘🇦🇺
Totally gotta do “Save me” live in Montreal. Perfection
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick live is excellent.
Live At The Rainbow '74 Queen, Hammersmith '75 Queen, Hyde Park '76, Earls Court '77, Houston '77, Paris '78, Hammersmith '79, all great 70s Queen shows I suggest you guys check.
Staying Power live at Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982!! It is so much different than the studio version: Roger's powerful drumming take it to another level. And Deacy plays electric guitar instead of bass guitar!
Great suggestion; I was at that concert. The band flew in on a helicopter over the crowd and I remember Freddie hanging out the door waving to everyone.
The best concert I ever saw ... 13 Aug 1982 ... Billy Squier opened for Queen. I saw Freddie before he was dead Freddie :)
Queen tried to regularly feature their stage act (aka their live set-up) as their promo videos, especially in the seventies, because they wanted people to know they were a working live band, touring regularly and all over the world. See, at the time, a lot of their contemporaries were "studio" bands, who focused their attention on studio albums and either didn't tour a lot or, in Queen's opinion, weren't very good onstage, even though their albums were great. Queen wanted people to know that the quality you got on the album was what you'd get in concert if you came to a show. Remember, this was all pre-internet, so word-of-mouth, magazines, newspapers, promo videos and radio stations were the only ways to get your name and reputation out there.
LOL...so glad I grew up during this era. Queen played on the radio all the time!
As for A Kind Of Magic at Wembley, just make sure you watch the Saturday performance because Brian May was on fire.
John Deacons great bass sound drives this song from beginning to end. Such an underrated bassist
Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow! It's amazing! It's short, though, so maybe a double-whammy with Lap of the Gods from the same show (1974) featuring Roger's otherworldly falsetto. :)
I know every single word of stone cold crazy but i will be god damned if i can get them out as fast as freddie 😂
Yes! Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow please! It's only 2:20. Short but oh so sweet! Hold onto your hats!
@@barbhoffman4531 stone cold crazy and keep yourself alive are a good combo and both are "sorta" short (not really keep yourself a live but lets pretend it is!)
@Jasna Talking about wanting to break something, a lot of people say the same thing when they listen to Gimme The Prize! Another kick ass heavy metal tune from Queen.
Yes, yes, yes to doing both as they’re both shorter songs!,
As a 45 y/o parent, taken my son to many football camps. When this comes on the PA system, every kid out there knows it.
i think what i love most about this song is brian’s lead vocals during the chorus, i think it really perfects the song for me :,)
Do an image search for "queen jazz album insert" or similar to see the poster we received with the album back in the day!
It's Late! Best song on News of the World.
"Queen - SAVE ME - Live from Hammersmith 1979" is very strong, or "Queen - Save Me (Live) High Definition Montreal" sounds and looks great. Basically any live version of Save Me is awesome!
Rush - Live in Toronto 1984 (Grace Under Pressure Tour) is a fantastic concert, as is their 1981 Live in Toronto (Moving Pictures Tour). I recommend the songs The Weapon from the 1984 show and Xanadu or Red Barchetta from the 1981 show.
YOU GUYS CAN'T STOP AT JUST LIVE QUEEN!!!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY BRILLIANT SONGS THAT THEY NEVER DID LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! ok I'll stop yelling now, I know you said you'd still do a couple, but still! Don't listen to people who say to only watch live stuff. Yes Queen live is one of the 7 wonders of the world, but they revolutionized so much in the studio, they basically picked up where the Beatles left off in utilizing the studio as an instrument and you will miss soooooo much if you don't hear it as well. Extra sounds and harmonies that they don't/ physically can't do live. Do both, both is good!!!!
Maya English hey there to reiterate we absolutely don’t plan on stopping studio Queen stuff, it’s just not going to be tied to a day, it could come up on Monday Wednesday or Friday ❤️ there’s plenty of Queen ahead
Stone Cold Crazy (Live at the Rainbow 74)
THIS is the song that inspired Sweet Child of Mine. Axl Rose is a HUGE Queen fan
The live version of somebody to love where Adam Lambert sings is pretty great
Urggg, Adam is a good singer. But he looks like he is performing on broadway, not in a rock band. It is bland.
**Zenobia** he was in broadway for awhile i think. Brian and Roger said in a documentary that he was the best choice because he has stage presence like Freddie.
Janis Joplin “Ball and Chain” live at Monterey Pop is amazing. The video shows momma Cass (from the mamas and the papas) reaction and her jaw is literally on the floor.
This too: Janis Joplin - Work Me Lord (137,608+ views) Her ad libs at the end are so good.
The Hero/We Will Rock You (fast) opening ti Live at The Bowl, the energy is off the scale and the single best opening to one of their concerts I’ve ever heard.
Good morning guys!! So glad you chose the video. Freddie is just off the chain in this one! He's just so stinkin' hot. Sorry, has to be said. 10 out of 10 for hotness. I suggest Dragon Attack Live at Montreal. The whole concert at Montreal is amazing.
Super sexy, slinky, sultry Freddie strutting across the stage in Montreal....oh my!!!! Also the lead up into the song is incredible!!!
“Get on your bikes and ride”! I remember when “Jazz” came out, it had a poster of a bunch of naked girls riding bikes included. I’m pretty sure it was limited to the first pressing.
I’m going to keep bugging you to react to the One Vision docuvideo, watch them craft a wonderful song and see how they work together.
I second that and the live extended video too
Queen A Night at the Odeon - Hammersmith 1975 ... It's out of this world.. that whole concert. My favorites are In the lap of the gods and White queen
I’ve said it so many times but you guys owe it to yourselves to watch Save Me live at Montreal. If you are moving on a bit from Queen then this is definitely the one you want to sign off on.
We aren’t moving away from Queen it just is going to be less periodic so we can see some of the amazing live shows we’ve been suggested. Certainly not an end. It’s just difficult getting to all our suggestions with only 3 days available. We thought this change would still allow us to do Queen while being able to explore other bands and other live shows (Queen and otherwise) as well 😊
Great reaction guys! Miss your Queen reactions..... love your channel 😊
dana appleton don’t worry we are still doing them 😊 they just won’t be on a specific day
I remember, way back in the days of yore, when I attended a church-run disco back in the late 70's, (yes, I'm that old), the DJ made the, 'mistake', of playing this song, to which one rather indignant Victorian misery of a grandmother, (not mine!), complained because it have the words, 'fat bottomed', in the title, and they in their self-righteousness deemed it to be vulgar in the extreme! Even as a kid, back then, I found that totally incredulous! I can laugh about it now, but back then, I couldn't believe someone could be so uptight over such an innocuous song title!
The song itself is a fantastic example of what Queen were doing in the latter part of the 70's. They were already flying high with their previous, 'News of the World', album, so when, 'Jazz', came along, any single off it was almost guaranteed to do well. And they did! 'Bicycle Race', is the other one, which compliments this song and are, usually, played together, being part of a double A-side single. Another fantastic song from this album, which is unusual, is, 'Mustapha.' Give it a whirl! Edit: You already did that one! DOH! Try, 'Dreamer's Ball.'
