Brian use 3 different guitars in a 3 mins song 😱
Jesus
Leonardo f a vio
Ok
Impressive!
Timestamps?
Freddie Mercury: Telecaster
Brian May: Acoustic
Telecaster
Red Special
John Deacon: Bass
Roger Taylor no. Bass is very vague unlike the original comment which listed the exact instruments (set aside from the acoustic guitar)
What John seemed to have been using though was a Fender Precision Bass
Acoustic is a STAGG 12 String Guitar.
Satisfaction Therapy I’m pretty sure both Freddie and Brian used Ovation acoustics in those days.
Brian May today: Uses Red Special for the whole song because he's to lazy / old for switching guitar two times in three minutes
35 years later, anyone watching this still feels the energy. RIP Freddie
RIP Freddie

Last winter my sister would listen to queen music during dinner, about a month after that I really got into their music.
And now I'm a fan.
RIP freddie
There were three reasons why this set by Queen was the most successful at Live Aid. First, they had rehearsed for weeks before, nailing down the songs and timing for the twenty minute set. Most other bands in the show didn't even bother to rehearse. Second, Queen was used to playing in massive stadiums and have been quoted as saying they felt more comfortable the bigger the crowd. Third, they had Freddie Mercury, the best front man in rock history, who loved to play with the crowd and make them feel part of the show.
it was also louder bc the sound guy made queens concert louder than the other performances
“Most other bands didn’t rehearse” it’s okay, you can say Led Zeppelin
@@flautist6247 lol came here to see this….poor Jimmy’s guitar wasn’t even in tune
@@flautist6247 I mean, John Bonham did die, so they were really crippled

Keep in mind, he head a throat infection at this, and still did an amazing performance, despite being told not to perform by a doctor
That’s our Freddie 😭
The great one's find a way
Doctor tells him not to sing, performs one of the best Queen lives
He still made music even though he was dying of AIDS in 1991
He didnt know that he got AIDS until 1986, so........
0:21 - Brian looking at Freddie playing guitar, like a eagle who travelled 500 miles watching a pigeon flying for the first time. His face is so cute.
Exactly ☺
YESSSSS
MAY: "Freddie used to pick up guitar and he had a great, frenetic energy. It was kind of like a very nervy animal playing guitar. He was a very impatient person, and he was impatient with his own technique. He didn’t have a great technical ability on the guitar. But he had it all in his head. You could feel this stuff bursting to get out.”
Just like a proud mom.
He looks so proud :D
I'm living for:
Freddie's "take it Brian"
Deacon's disco
Brian changing 3 guitars in one song
Roger's " READY FREDDIEEEE"
Reaadeaaahhh freedeaaaahhh 😂😂😂

Freddie: “This song is only dedicated to all you beautiful people”
Me: oh ok 😔
Freddie: “That means all of you”
Me: 🤠yay
Me too! I remember watching this live and hearing him say it.I was upset until he said "all of you"!! Miss him so much.
When I first saw that I thought "Ouch, that's controversial! That wouldn't go over well nowadays." and when you experience that for the first time, the pause before he said "That means all of you" seems infinitely longer than when you watch it again.
@@ronalddg9369 Freddie was savvy; he would never exclude anyone.
"Thank you for coming aLOnGg"
@@Nina-oi1qk Freddie was for the most part a very kind person, he wanted to love everyone, sometimes he would go about it in the wrong way, or have a strange way of showing it, but he didn't have ill intentions.
This is how many people miss Freddie Mercury
Wow only 29 people:-(
Simon Cousens more people miss freddie we just don’t like getting like bated
@@annetteespinoza842 ik just thought that more people would like the comment

@@fleddybug1215 Much better i was here earlier so thats why i said that it was 29 llike so yea
The only singer that sounds just like he's in the studio as he plays live.
Van Halen sounds good. Especially eruption.
Same with Luis Miguel.
Elvis
@Tim Rabei yes
so true
This Song would be empty if it weren't For John's amazing bass playing. You can hear to so clearly, it sounds epic
Period John is so underrated he’s like uhhh 🥺
Yeah its kinda funny like theres a piano too, but damn... that bass really fills in like 60% of this song
No Freddie no John no Queen 😥🫡
@@daveintheAMsi hay un piano
This song goes out to all the beautiful people, he said.
Well, darling, that includes all of us watching years later online!
Well he did say after a pause "It means all of you"
cool
ist it
Well I’m sorry to ruin the party but he actually said “this next song is only dedicated to beautiful people here tonight” so not us I’m afraid to say.
But at least it’s all of us!
Well fine the party’s been ruined but I’m not afraid for someone to ruin it further too :D
❤❤❤
1:10 Best Elvis imitation I've heard
True 😂
true
Joraja, you're right
Anyone else who was old enough to get a slap upside the head back in the 80s remember saying that to their parent and their parent's reaction?
Thought this was elvis for years
Roger's "Ready Freddie" was pure gold. No diamond.
Brian May, John Deacon, Roger taylor and Freddie Mercury made a really good music, it is a shame that Freddie passed away so young rest in peace Freddie we still miss you.
That slow zoom out to the whole stadium clapping in time at 3:10 is just pure perfection.
my favorite part dude
It's more perfect than those cringe vlogs
The woman on someone's shoulders leading that clap will remember this forever wherever she is now.
Hehgliche
Everyone there was under Mercury’s spell then
Freddie: ARE YOU READY!?
Roger: READY FREDDIE!
Freddie: CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE
Gotta Love Roger Taylor❤️
idk why but that part gives me chills lmao

let me thirst for him real quick and say 1970s-80s brian himself is so fine
2:37 "Take it Brian"
I like that for some reason. It is so refreshing for the audience when people on stage give out the cues out loud
Ready Freddie ?!!
I sing, play guitar, piano, write song

I remember he thought he sounded like Elvis on this song; he was a HUGE Elvis fan!!
Elvis was the King, Freddie was the Queen
La canción es original de Queen
Brian's solo will never cease to give me massive goosebumps!
Goosebumps to my scalp and my balls
Doesn’t matter what generation your from Queen is totally an awesome and epic band
Agree.
Agree
Agree
nah there is someone better singer than Freddie its Farrokh Bulsara
Lo mejor que he escuchado en mi vida✌️✌️✌️✌️
Ive watched this preformance so much i forgot there was other bands playing🤷♂️
Mick Jagger was good too!
Janet Gudino David Bowie’s performance was amazing,too.
Where is the ? Is freddie
This song is just pure class. Its a shame it's not mentioned enough or given the credit it deserves these days
Indeed. It’s a great song. It’s my favorite from Queen.
36 years after this amazing performance and people are still watching and listening. Now that's music at its best.
is it just me or this live stage version is actually better than the studio one
LeonX not just u
nope, not jus you. I actually think this Live Aid version might be the best version of the song.
honestly almost every queen live version is so much better than the studio one, which is saying something because the studio versions are absolutely amazing on their own
Same for Hammer to Fall
This is so much better then the original I prefer the live aid versions of these songs to the original counterparts the only thing that’s missing is the second part of bohemian rhapsody
That piano guy can say to his children he played with Queen at Live Aid, that must be an honor.
Spike Edney. He was in the band from 1984
Daniel Kroc he worked with them
He was in the band for The Works and Magic tour and he still tours with Queen today.
1:11 the greatest gibberish to ever be implemented in a song
who's making a marathon honoring this beautiful man?
This comment is only dedicated to beautiful people here today. That means all of you thank you for reading!
I'm ready Freddie! 🤘🌈
Freddie is still with us. Everytime we play his music, he is alive again. He lives inside all of us whom love him.
I can't believe that this concert is 6 years before his passing😔
34 years today!!! 👑 Happy Anniversary Live Aid! 😊
35 years old

My absolute favorite part is the “READY FRËDÎĒ

DEB X GAMING it is on a sign there
Out of everything that went down at live aid I think that sign is one of the most genius ideas to get recognized globally
In my opinion, Freddie Mercury is the greatest rock singer of all time. I'm deeply honoured to have witnessed this great talent in my lifetime. Hats off to you Mr. Mercury. Much love & respect.
'This next Song is only dedicated to beautiful people here tonight, It means all of you. Thank you for coming along and making this a great occasion
Freddie didn’t need to see what happened to the world, he did his thing and left. Love you man ❤️❤️❤️
Time Waits For No One - he knew it from early on and used his time most wisely. Love prevailed in his work and his living (and in no way do I mean to imply 'sex').
Happy birthday to Mr. Brian May. He turned 73 yesterday. Hopefully I'll be able to see this legend perform live next year.
_Dr Brian May_
How old would Freddie be??
@@ericcartman9042 I think Freddie would have turned 75 this year if I'm not mistaken.
Best song ever, best rock band ever, my idol freddie mercury
Queen!!!!!!
*freddie
The Beatles much? The charts don’t lie. But, yes, you are entitled to your opinion. I still love Queen, don’t get me wrong.
Rick Astley my overlord don’t be a dick
If you mean in your opinion then I’m happy that you like this kind of music. But if you mean in general then I’m sorry but Queen is not the best band ever. We have bands like rush, the beatles, Rolling Stones who are just in a league of their own. Not hating on queen cause they are incredible. Just not the best
captaindog yeah, I fucking love the Beatles as well
Hello, Freddie!!! Thanks so much, for everything!!! Your life is your own, but your music belonged to the world!!! We love you, and I’m glad you and Jim are finally back together, again!!! RIP, FREDDIE and JIM!!!!!!
Best live performance to date
Freddie Mercury had complete control of the audience there and at home.
Will always remember this performance

Saw Queen live two times in 80 and 82, I can still see FM flying around the stage…the greatest.
Yo también los disfrute en vivo en 1886 el Magic Tours.. Freddy llenaba el enorme escenario, y el sonido impecable... Los 4 componentes grandes profesionales.. Eterno Queen.. Reinas por excelencia ❤❤❤
2:10 is the best moment in this video when the camera pans to the crowd from behind Freddie and Roger screams "Ready Freddie".
That one moment sums up Queen and their legendary status.
It's timeless.
Only love can save us on this planet
Not little and crazy. It's
A message a " crazy little thing called love!"
This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready

Queen. - There will never be anyone to replace Freddie Mercury and this fantastic band. They just make you want to get up and dance forever. They’re just so full of enjoyment and love 💕 of their music and to please their audience. Very sad loss to the world 🌎
Can’t help it, he’s the man as long as I live I am so grateful for you tube keeping the true king of music alive
0:20 freddie looking at his members kinda saying "ya ready guys" | brian: *nods* *smiles*
Too bad I was only 7 months old when this once in a lifetime event happened. I'm so thankful that I can replay this anytime I please. Queen is the best of the best! I will always love you, Freddie ❤
This is the good side of UA-cam. Love your avatar by the way.
Is there anything Freddie couldn’t do?
Singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist, producer, performer, legend.
Survive from aids
Cantante y compositor SI pero pianista y guitarrista medio pelo
@@nareicuti4611 but he still can do it
freddie and bri playing guitar together has to be one of my favorite things, that or that “READY FREDDIE??”
. . . and at the end when Freddie thanks them for coming and John bows deeply in agreement. Each one of our Queen boys always played a role in the band's magnificence.
Queen, Paul McCartney, Elton John, The Who, REO Speedwagon. Damn, how the hell did that place not blew up?
THE BEST ELVIS IMITATION EVER! PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, FREDDIE MERCURY IS & WAS A SUPERSTAR 💙🎶🎵🥁🎤
Freddie nos demostró que dejó todo por su banda Queen y nosotros su público.... Gracias a nuestra estrella inmortal.....
It is impossible to hate this video when you enjoy Queen's music
Queen should be awarded title of greatest rock band of all times .long live freddie and rock music
Watching the other bands all of whom I enjoy, I almost felt bad for the singers attempting to get the audience to sing along, here in this magic, Mr. Mercury barely had to if at all "cue" anyone to sing along, LOL!! Truly one of if not the best front men in the 'biz...Rest in Power, Freddie Mercury.
He only knew three chords on the guitar and he played them like a master.
Yes he did
You know you’re raising your kids right when you say “Ready Freddie” and they start singing this song 😊
HAPPY ANIVERSARY!!!
The day the world tasted the best music ever made and performed !!!
Lots of love to everyone.
Live Aid is still unforgettable, Queen were amazing ❤
You will always go down in music history as the greatest song writer and musician and your lyrics will always touch the world forever, look how many people come to see you,you will truly be missed ❤❤
Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Elvis. Wonderful 💋.
O Freddie Mercury é uma lenda inesquecível!😍❤
O Freddie Mercury é o melhor cantor que já existiu!😍❤👏👏
Freddie was about to destroy that guitar at 3:30
*let's guitar fall*
God bless you Freddie for having thought of Elvis with that marvelous song
Greatest band in the world long live Freddie hes a god from Richard in Sheffield
Freddie's expressions at the end of the video..ah this thing called love
3:47 the face of true happiness. we love you freddie!
He plays piano guitar what a voice a total performer a legend
2024 and this song still feels lively!
This is what I called live performance. Freddie Mercury knows his lyrics so well. Nowsaday you see live performer has a earpiece on one side of their ears to help them sing along so they will not forget the lyrics.
Beautiful man beautiful crowd!!
This is exactly why Freddie is a true classic rock legend, he had aids and still came out to perform for a special charity ,this man has so much freaking class and character it's beyond amazing ❤❤
2023❤❤❤still here Freddie
Watching Freddie play guitar is just so Rock and Roll
Best Rock Band Ever made!
We old timers, now, were so lucky to hear & watch these mega events, these larger than life bands, not tech wiz.. pure raw sound....Gen Y & Z ..you guys.. missed out. World was a better place then
Man how he gaved props to every one in this crowd with his first words... man i love this love he was transmitted
Sorry for my bad english
Many greetz from Germany
Это что то, харизма,голос, внешность,о боже,как,я его обожаю,таких больше не будет....
When Freddie lifted that guitar up and put it behind his back, I legit thought he was going to pull off a Hendrix and smash it lol.
''This next song is only dedicated to beautiful people here tonight. That means all of you.''
What a beautiful human being. Gone too soon.
Freddie: Thank you for coming along~
John Deacon: *bows*
Me: 😍😭*cries in his politeness*
Roger: ready Freddie?
Freddie:I write songs, I sing, I dance, i play the piano, I play the guitar & I have singalongs with the crowd. I was born ready darling
dzsoni thank you I thought so
Take it Brian. That group where I had to pull my car over to listen to the first Queen song intently. Still a fan since that day.
This next song is only dedicated to beautiful people here tonight..it means all of you, thank you for coming along..we're making this a great occasion
Hoy Freddy hubiese cumplido 77 años. Pero aunque es invisible...sigo viéndole en sus vídeos❤ no ha desaparecido, SIGUE VIVO!!!!! Y siempre será así. Jóvenes que aprecian la buena música, la voz, la espectacularidad de sus puestas en escena. Su elegancia...su genialidad...su generosidad y el arte de conectar e interactivo con su público FANS...era algo que nunca jamás se ha dado en un grupo de rock. Tuvieron disco de Uranio x sus ventas. Sólo 6 en el mundo, lo tienen. Fue el Mozar del siglo XX. Adoro a éste hombre con MAYÚSCULAS!!! Porque nunca he escuchado tan bonita voz, con tantos registros que podía cantar lo que quisiera. Un buen diseñador, dibujante, innovador, adelantado a su tiempo. Una genialidad!!! Lo sigo escuchando y sintiendo su gran, GRAN sensibilidad e inteligencia UNICA!!! por eso es tan difícil e imposible olvidarlo...❤JAMAS!!! siempre vivo en nuestros corazones. AMADO INFINITAMENTE FREDDY...como decía May, el más atractivo del COSMOS. para mí lo fue y para millones de fans de todo el planeta. Fue realmente sorprendente. El verdadero significado de la palabra ÚNICO!!!!!!!!!! Te amo Freddy ❤
Just Unique. They have something no other group has.
I agree with you and this agree at the same time. I feel that every band has something unique about them. Take care.
That something was Freddie Mercury
@@strahinjagov and the guitar tone of Brian, the bass lines of Deacon and the power of Roger.
Is everything. How all of them were composers and contributed something different to the band. Just love it.

Has there ever been a greater ROCK STAR than Freddie Mercury.
I think what makes this better than the recorded version (or any other) is Skip Edney on piano. Tasteful, blends in and rocks like hell. I could listen to him all day.
Who is skip edney?
@@thomaskennedy5728 I'm assuming some pianist that I haven't heard of either
This is a song that one can't help but bop along to! It's absolutely infectious! I remember choosing to ice skate to this, and also to "Footloose", when I was skating freely after rather restrictive lessons, and letting lose on the ice rink. To this day, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and some other songs by Queen are my favourite to ice skate and to dance to!
