    Lead singer is Freddie Mercury. He had a 4 octave range. Had a degree in graphic design. Guitarist is Sir Dr Brian May. Made his own guitar with his father that he uses to this day called the Red Special. He is an Astrophysicist. Drummer is Roger Taylor and has a degree in Biology. John Deacon is the Bassist and has a degree in electrical engineering. Queen is the only band that all members wrote a #1 hit and all of them wrote multiple #1 hits. You won’t find another band that accomplished what these four men did.

    The lead singer, Freddie Mercury, would actually pass away 10 years to the date from this performance. He died of AIDS in 1991. Tragic loss to the world of music. By all accounts, he was a wonderful person in addition to one of the best singers in history.

      He was indeed a wonderful person. It's fun to go on a deep dive into his personal life. He was pretty good in business as well. Like he made a lot of investments with his money, and his first earnings went to his family, random people who worked in his home. His former girlfriend, Mary Austin, who he said he still always loved, because love isn't determined by who you have sex with. The man just had a good heart.

      @@PradaWest It's irritating. And sometimes perfect pitch isn't the perfect moment in a song. Sometimes the right emotion is created with just a tad flat or sharp. Like with Aretha Franklin. I saw an analysis of her singing, and her voice was spot on every time, except in those just perfect moments, like in "Respect", when having it slide a tad to the left of perfect made you feel the song.

    This is one of the greatest live performances ever. Freddie Meryury was an untrained singer, never took singing lessons, bue was a huge fan of Aretha Franklin, loved her early gospel style singing, and he learned a lot by listening to her records. Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha. The most famous Queen song is the Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Queen is HUGE and Freddie Mercury was a phenomenon, the lead singer/piano, Roger Taylor on drums/great falsetto/, Sir Brian May on lead guitar/vocals/curly hair abounds, John Deacon on base/great at electronics. They all wrote the songs, quite a democracy among them, and a 21 year run before Freddie passed away so young, RIP, will love him forever, such a great performer, genius musically, a great person irl, the opposite of his on-stage persona, which surprises so many people.. The Live Aide set in 1985 is a must for anyone wanting to see them do the greatest live performance ever, even though Freddie performed with a throat infection and against doctors orders. 72,000 people there at Wembly, 1.4 billion people saw it on tv, shown worldwide. And the Bohemian Rhapsody official video from 1975 (remastered) is also a must, if nothing else. Groundbreaking, as they were with most if their songs over the years. Always experimenting, perfection.

    For a few years in the 80s, Queen was the most popular band on the planet. They are still one of the highest grossing bands -- if not the highest ever. Freddie Mercury is probably the greatest frontman to hit the stage. All four members are phenomenally talented but Freddie, he was touched by the gods. Queen concerts were more like parties than performances, and the audiences were the invited guests. Someone has probably already suggested you check out their set at the 1985 charity concert Live Aid. It is considered to be the greatest live rock performance ever.

This is a great example, but there are so many others you'd love. Four master musicians came together and it's truly lightning in a bottle. They were well-rehearsed, passionate and they performed with a conviction not seen before or since. Check out their 20 minute set from Live-Aid in 1985, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions from this Montreal show in 1981 and Who Wants to Live Forever from their 1986 show in Budapest.

    at 7:15 when Freddie is singing with the crowd, that was actually an improv as Brian May had just broke a guitar string and needed to sort it (you can see him walk off stage for a few seconds).
    Freddie was a very rare talent. Amazing singer, and a talented pianist, and more importantly, he could write amazing, catchy music! He lived life fast!! Completely sex-mad! liked to party and no stranger too a drink or a line! Loved people and was kind and funny. They say the brightest candles burn the fastest! Sad how he died.

    This is my favorite live performance of this song, the band is spot on and Freddie's voice is perfection. This was written by Freddie Mercury and is a homage to Aretha Franklin who he absolutely admired. He never got to sing with her, though he always had hoped to but their paths never crossed to do so. Thank you for your reaction. My other favorite live Queen performance is White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith 1975. In that video you will not only see Freddie's vocal talents shine, you will see what may be the perfect instrumental portion that lasts 1.75 minutes. It is screaming and crying heavy guitar and flashy piano that is nearly impossible to grasp as being live. If you appreciate good musicianship, this is a performance not to be missed. Again, thank you for reacting to this great performance by Queen at Montreal (Which is an incredible concert in total and was filmed in 8mm film so the video quality is excellent). This is all before autotune and earpieces so recognizing the quality of musicianship of this band becomes quite obvious.

    You might not think you know their music but, trust me, you know their music even if you don't know its Queen. The band recently sold its music catalog to Sony for $1.3 billion which is by far the biggest deal in the history of music anywhere. Queen were huge and extraordinarily talented. They attracted over a quarter of a million people to a single gig.

    This was your lucky day on discovering Queen officially! To me, this song live in this concert may have been their best ! Enjoy going down the Queen rabbit hole - for another live concert video, try “Sheer Heart Attack” from (Live at the Bowl, 1982). Or “Stone Cold Crazy”

    Queen fan here since more about 40 years. Freddie 's voice - one of best in the world. Another unbelievable voice " Dimash Kudaibergen" singing OGNI PIETRA aka known as OLYMPICO from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 7 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Plays multiple instruments and is also a very humble person. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra
