I could listen to Queen every day, multiples times...oh, wait, I already do!!! And seeing Freddie running down those stairs, singing and never losing his tone, amazing!!!! The whole band is just out of this world, the best ever!!!
Did you notice Brian’s guitar slung around his shoulder while he was playing piano? Ready for his solo. And Freddie running down the steps, his voice never wavered
No Freddie WAS not Queen and Queen WAS not Freddie. They were Queen and that is that, they were a band as a whole, it wasn't Freddie Mercury & Queen, he wasn't the leader, he was just the lead singer of Queen, like he said numerous times, the were together a band, Queen
There's not much you can say after watching a performance like this. Words are hard to come by. I would recommend you watch the whole concert. I hesitate to say that it captures the band at their peak because I'm sure we all have different views but it does not get much better than this.
In fact "Save Me" was the first song which made me love Queen and the rest is history! Since then, I became obsessed with the band! John, also please react to "How can I go on" by Freddie Mercury!
Fantastic performance from Queen Freddie vocals are outstanding brian May playing the guitar 🎸 just brilliant another great fantastic classic song from the amazing Queen love there music 🎶 🎶 thanks John godbless much ♥️ from UK 🇬🇧 🎶🎸🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏👍
Yes - Don't Try So Hard is a gem you wonder why not better known. Freddie always maintained he is rooted to emotion through song - as with "Jealousy." A delicate and melodic song from 1978/Jazz that is a beauty to hear on an emotion that isn't.
This is such an emotional song it gets me every time. When it was first released, I nearly wore out the vinyl copy of it being a teenager at the time and it was one of the singles I bought. Still have it
Uwielbiam wracać do Twoich reakcji na muzykę Queen:) Cudownie jest widzieć w Twoich oczach ten błysk, kiedy Freddie,Brian,Roger, John czarują na scenie !
There is an audio clip where Brian doesn't come in on time..Freddie laughs and says" WELL THAT DIDNT START OUT SO F***ING WELL...the first line of the song..lol. I think thats why Freddie gets close to Brian with a grin. To make sure they start together
My gosh I have tried everything to find this...Others have heard it...maybe I'll find out later..sorry..Freddie wasn't mad..he laughed and said..Lets try that again...dont know if it was in studio or live...but my favorite blooper
This is such a beautiful and sad song. Thank you for reacting to it. Freddie is so good on this and Brian has the sweetest sound with his guitar. The whole band showed up with their "A" game for this one.
Thanks, JG - this is an awesome song - as noted below - written by Brian - not everyone could see, but while Brian was on keys, he had his guitar in his lap - which allowed him to jump up and make that smooth transition -- this entire band was amazing... and I appreciate your appreciation!
I was so excited to see you react to this performance. It will quickly become a favorite. They are all so perfect! I'd love to see you react to You Take My Breath Away live at Hyde Park.
Try Dragon Attack same concert and In The Lap of the Gods live at Wembley. Both incredible performances. Queen never misses. Freddie’s voice could make him calling his cats beautiful.❤
WOW!! Yep, all members of Queen play multiple instruments!! Amazing talent!! Thank you so much for your reaction. Really appreciate your expertise! And this song is one of my favorites!! Check out ONE YEAR OF LOVE by Queen, written by John for the Highlander movie soundtrack. Unbelievable vocals by Freddie!
This one gets me all worked up 😂 Always. When Freddie lopes across the stage and tosses the mic and plops down at the piano and Brian is crazy great on his guitar I almost always feel like crying . I’m just a female and my hormones are wired differently 🌹
Thanks for posting this. It's fun to see your first view reaction. Their ability to capture love, loss and hope in such a dramatic, human (not to mention rockin'!) fashion is unrivaled, in my opinion. For me, with Queen, they always deliver moments where I'm wondering if I should sing and play, forever...or maybe just stop right now. Powerful.
Brian wrote this - it's his song. He gets a big part in it's presentation. Notice while he's playing piano, his guitar is strapped around behind his back. Quick transition for him on this one back to guitar.
I saw them on this tour, for the Game album, at Madison Square Garden, September 1980. As Freddie said it's off the Game, the last one in fact, a song that really didn't get a lot of airplay back then. An amazing show!
„Rock Montreal“ ist für mich das beste Live Concert von Queen, entstanden exakt zehn Jahre vor Freddies Tod (24./25.11.81), nie war Freddies Stimme ausdrucksvoller. Dieser Titel und die Kraft im Ganzen ist unglaublich. Wenn man das Konzert schaut, merkt man schnell dass Freddie nach kurzer Zeit nur noch für sich und die Band spielt, nicht mehr für das Publikum…denn jenes ist einfach unterirdisch. John, bitte „Another one bites the dust“ aus diesem Konzert. Gruß von der Ostsee, Marco.
I love this song and you are one of the few people who mentioned Rogers wonderful drumming and backing vocals on this song. I love how he starts out softly on the drums then builds up as the song goes on. Amazing from all of them. Oh , Roger plays piano too.
Thanks for your really good reaction - you really don’t miss much! Such an amazing performance, by all of them! I am always amazed by how gifted they all are, and Freddie always puts in such passion in every performance!
Really enjoyed your reactions to save me, and the live aid performance, which I attended, absolutely brilliant, your obviously blown away by them, and rightly so, I have been fortunate to have seen many live performances from different band of that era, but queen tops them all, could you check out the prophets song by them, I dont belief there is any live recordings, but its worth checking out
@JONH GIBS...🥰🥰🥰 Parabéns pelo maravilhoso vídeo! Grande Cantor, Fred Mercury Grande SHOW Ameeei! Obrigada! querido John Gibs, você é um amor!!!!🥰🌺🥰🌺🥰🌺🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For nearly 40 years, I've thought their Live Aid concert was their best. Not so sure any more. This one might be it. And I never knew Brian played piano. Thanks for letting us know. WOW!
The whole Montreal concert is well worth watching, I notice that you are a big elvis fan, have you checked out Queens version of jail House Rock from this concert, I think you will enjoy it
@@johngibsonmusic hi John, like I said I think they do a very good version, have you managed to check out the prophet song yet, there isn't a decent live version, because I believe it would be virtually impossible to do, but that track is longer than bohemian rhapsody, and I believe underestimated
Great react, you now they was/are the greatest on earth.....have love them since -77...lol I will recomend to you to react to Dragon attac at the same consert, Freddie blow your mind.....Wel he does whatever he sings, but some songs are a little exstra. Dragon attac is an exstra. Stay safe, and take care..
You simply have to watch the official video to the single of Save Me. Not only will it mean you'll appreciate how good that live performance really was (it's so close) but the video is definitely one of the most beautiful music videos made before the 80s. This is the official Queen channel link to the Save Me official video: ua-cam.com/video/Iw3izcZd9zU/v-deo.html
Honestly never been a Queens fan; however I am always impressed to hear your musician perspective. I enjoyed this. You are authentic in your reaction which I appreciate. 👍Sehr gut Johnny! 😉
I feel that I can sing very well. I think I can sing most songs better than the original artists. Sometimes I hear a song and say I cannot sing it that well but almost. In this case I can honestly say say that I am not capable of singing like Freddie Mercury. His talent was special, to bad he didn't have more common sense in life, he would be with us today.
You should do a reaction to the documentary of Queen One Vision and then the actual song One Vision I'm curious to see your point of view and thoughts since you're a singer-songwriter
one of the few performers who with Elvis total control of the stage dont know if Brian supposed to follow freddie or visa versa but when he was playing didnt sound quite in synch like his guitar work still GREAT SONG/ PERFORMANCE
Freddie never disappoints. Love queen
unparalleled
I could listen to Queen every day, multiples times...oh, wait, I already do!!!
And seeing Freddie running down those stairs, singing and never losing his tone, amazing!!!!
The whole band is just out of this world, the best ever!!!
I do ♥️
Me too
This whole Montreal concert is amazing.
Thought the crowd was subdued. Saw them in New Haven on this Tour....
Queen concert in Montreal
We can enjoy it. It’s in Disney Channel plus
Did you notice Brian’s guitar slung around his shoulder while he was playing piano? Ready for his solo. And Freddie running down the steps, his voice never wavered
It’s perfect!!
I didn't! Awesome!
I'm always blown away by Freddie's vocal control as he runs down the stairs on his way to the piano! Great reaction!!
Always in awe of that.
RIGHT!
Notice the audience when he is belting out when he climbs the stairs , they seem paralysed or frozen...
better to say it is breath control
@@Mysterywhiteboy78 cuse they was not allowed to move
On the original song, Brian is playing the piano, acoustic & electric guitar, and synthesizer
And of course, he's doing backing vocals
my fav Queen
Probably their finest concert ever...
Brian wrote this song. This has been my favorite Queen song for a very, very long time. Thanks for the great reaction.
Thank you Sally!
You will love, Only the Good Die Young, by the three remaining members of Queen after Freddy’s death.
Queen was Freddie and Freddie was Queen . They are all four amazing Musicians. And together they are one

I could listen to Queen all day and never ever get bored. As Freddie said never make me boring.
One of their best ballads.
Best band ever ! Raw talented geniuses! 👑🥰
Its not my favourite queen song but freddy had a phenomenal voice its hard not to share a tear
I knew Brian played piano, but I hadn't seen a video with him playing before. So incredibly talented. All of them, of course.
Happy you loved it..there will.never be another Queen and Freddie..yes brilliant song!
☺️🙏
Cool and just brilliant
In fact "Save Me" was the first song which made me love Queen and the rest is history! Since then, I became obsessed with the band! John, also please react to "How can I go on" by Freddie Mercury!

Brian’s song about a friend going through a divorce.
“Don’t Try So Hard” is a beautiful song…no live version, though.
Yes, one of my favorite It ´s a Hard Life live from Rio love too

They were at the best!
They all play the piano x all play multiple instruments such an amazing band ❤️❤️❤️
I love how close this is to the album track. The way they performed this is great. I feel I can hear their different piano style of playing as well.
Always... Every day or night Queen is Always in my list.... Im addicted to Queen for Ever💞🇬🇷 I listen to Queen until i die👑
This is such an emotional song it gets me every time. When it was first released, I nearly wore out the vinyl copy of it being a teenager at the time and it was one of the singles I bought. Still have it
I love this song it show what a great voice freddy had
I think think this song is one of Freddie's best live.
We all know Freddie was the best ❤️

So funny. I have to try to find that.
I think I had to type what he said...Im on phone and don't know how to find address..I need to save it..will look for it

I will!
Brian May wrote this song about Freddie, actually
What orchestration. High drama!
Ok... i'm a Queen since the late 70's. I'm sure Brian never plays a wrong note in a concert. lol
You always know when Brian plays a bad note, he screws his face up and shakes his head, that's his thing
QUEEN who wants to live forever extended/album version reaction
Thanks, JG - this is an awesome song - as noted below - written by Brian - not everyone could see, but while Brian was on keys, he had his guitar in his lap - which allowed him to jump up and make that smooth transition -- this entire band was amazing... and I appreciate your appreciation!
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
No Autotune required. And that shit was live.
Thts coz auto tune didn't exist until 1997
Enchanting.
It’s hard not to to think that they saw Freddie as their muse. Another gem from Brian & their interaction on stage is fun to watch.
Great comments as always johnn. You sure know your music .
Loved ur guitar solo on your new song .
You are a damn fine guitar player
Thank you very much!!
I'm so amazed, I thought I'd heard all of their songs, I don't remember this one, the whole group is amazing

Yes!

Stunning bass playing underneath that. Lots of lovely little runs and still solid. Good that you mentioned that. He's invisible to most reviewers.
Yes, Queen is back!!! Thank you!!! 👑
same concert as "Somebody to love" - your reaction too. - And those two are some of my favorites.

Growing up I always thought they were saying Sammy 😂
😂
Sammy was low, just watching the show over and over again 🤣
Just thought they had a friend named Sammy that they wrote songs 2
Me too! Lol
Because of Sammy on Spread Your Wings.
Nobody will do like Freddie did 🎤👨🏻❤️
sehr cool John :-) Ich mag den Song auch, er hat eine tolle Dynamik
Auf jeden Fall ja 👍😊
A technical question: did they use some sort of filter or a special mic? You can‘t hear him breathe at all...
My guess is that they "gated" his voice record (which only lets louder signals through)
You need to pick up Queen greatest hits 1, 2 & 3 or just do them here lol
