m.ua-cam.com/play/PLrqzRCWzD75WUTNd9kI9PwxJwJ8LaxOKw.html
Every!single!time! i watch reactions i forget people are younger than me and don't know about Queen
For 21 minutes in 1985, Britain was ruled by an entirely different queen.
milano 1984 emozione unica indescrivibile
The comment we wanted to see
What a great comment
@Halloween111
I positively agree , ha ha 35 years ago my music was not that great but...when I seen the concert ... I mean... Queen my my I’m socially converted then and now
My go to group always 😀😀😀😀
Whe love freddy mercury
"The Greatest 20 minutes in Rock and Roll History"
Indeed 100%
The quote I have heard was "20 minutes, that change the music industry"
Man my fav performance ever Hands down.
I watched on TV live as a 4year old and I still remember it and the emotion and how everybody lost their shit and were mesmerised..........it was the greatest live performance ever and what every stadium concert will forever be held up to and compared to and be found lacking.
The Greatest 20 minutes in Rock and Roll History"
how about The Greatest 90 minutes in Rock and Roll History"
1 Queen UK
2 Simple Minds USA
3 David Bowie UK
What you are seeing is a man walking out on stage and taking control of about 20% of the world population for his time on stage. Even his band was amazed at his performance, other bands went on after Queen but they knew they had been overshadowed and couldnt live up to what he just did. HE OWNED THE WORLD FOR THIS SHOW
40% of the world watched Queen during Live Aid. Though Fred had laryngitis it’s considered the best rock performance of all time.
He certainly stole the show that day.
They unknowingly lied when singing: "History won't care at all" during this rendition of "Hammer to Fall". Oh boy, how history cared and still cares, Freddie.
I get the sentiment but I don't think you can unknowingly lie. Lying infers knowing a thing is not true.
@@RichardStrong86 you're right, i should've said that they didn't tell the truth
It was cool of Queen to let all them bands play at their concert
😂 right?!
Right, you just have to support some hopeful talents like David Bowie, U2, Phil Collins, etc. That's just the right thing to do, isn't it?! 😂
I felt sorry for the poor buggers that had to follow that.
@@davidmooney5158 yes, David Bowie asked Freddie how the F was he supposed to follow that ...
🤘🤘🤘
He was once asked what was his favourite instrument to play? He replied “The audience darling”
And he played that instrument beautifully.
Why did I read that in his voice lol
@@KramerY2J Ha, it wasn't just you
and that still holds up to this day
And we loved being played. He was a God. Capital G.
No matter how many times I’ve watch this video of them. I always get chills
same! I still cry a little
Same! Every single times a d I always cry at the end
Me too!
Those moments when she's realizing "Oh crap, they sing that one too?!?!" are gold! Had no idea she'd been a Queen fan all along!
Everyone is a Queen fan, some just don’t know it yet.
Theres no such thing as not knowing Queen, you just dont *know* that you know Queen.
Agreed!
Agreed everyone heard at least one queen sing frfr
Agreed! We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You have been so popular at sporting events, it would be hard to not have heard them.
Word.
Truth! I was a Queen fan for years before I realized I was!
No autotune, no prerecorded music, no fancy crap to distract you, just 4 guys, their instruments and bloody brilliant TALENT. The greatest live band in history and forever. John laying down a brilliant baseline, Roger on drums and vocals, Dr May with his homemade Red Special guitar and vocals, then, of course, the greatest front man ever, Freddy!
Mark Brindle, and apparently he had a throat infection and was advised not to go on by his doctor.
Robert Bakker I know, makes the whole show even more special. Especially when a lot of the other artists thought they were all washed up.
Not only that; no bloody cell phones in the crowd! Everyone was paying attention.
"No Synthesisers" was a mantra on their early albums too ;) peace
100% with you John Roger and Brian we’re also at the top their game as well.
Every time I see this performance, I just think how there was never really been a showman quite like Freddie, and if I'm being honest, there'll never be one like him again. People have and will come close, but he set the bar so high, he took it with him when he got his wings.
It kills me that I never got the chance to see Freddie the genius live. Love him. Best frontman ever!!
I remember sitting watching this with my mum and dad. I was only 5 at the time. When I asked my dad who that man with the vest on was he said, that's Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest musicians alive.
"For 21 minutes the real queen was Freddie Mercury, as he held a microphone in one hand, and the world in the other."
For 21 minutes 2 queens ruled England, but one of them also ruled the world.
Tijuana and he had a throat infection and was told not to preform
@@creamnwhiskers6657 I didn't know that. But he had other, bigger issues that day, right? Wasn't he already dying from AIDS?
@@Tijuanabill i do think so but still the worlds best live
One of the best quotes about the band and Freddie as the lead singer.
It is such a joy for me, at 66, to see people nowadays loving my generation’s music. The best!!
totally agree. I found reaction channels due to lockdowns and boredom - the only good thing for me to come out of all this. Watching younger persons discover and fall in love with all the music i grew up on is so endearing and leaves me just a little bit of hope for humanity.
Hell I'm 46 and remember this like yesterday. It is nice to see people like JAYY giving this ol stuff a listen.
@@Frostrazor Same here! These reaction channels are helping me stay sane in these crazy times!
@@SuperKanna777 Me too... I was 15 when this happened.... I'll NEVER forget it AND Queen!!
I may only be 19. But I grew up on this stuff. And rest assured I’m gonna raise my kids on this too. Long live queen Freddie and his memory
I just love it when Queen and Freddie still touches the lives of people over 29 years after his death. He's still got it! There will only be one Freddie. Ever. Xx
I’m a mom and every single time I listen to Freddy Mercury sing those first verses and I know he died of AIDS I cry. I can’t imagine how his mom must have felt. He’s angelic & brave & beautiful soul
My feelings exactly.
Same.
They didn't just sing We Will Rock You and We are the Champions, they WROTE them!
Most bands get one or two truly career defining songs, Queen have (in my mind) ELEVEN, Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, Don't Stop Me Now, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Another One Bites The Dust, Under Pressure, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, Show Must Go On. Then you've got every thing else they did as well!!!
So true man! So true
@@wm9355 You forgot the Miracle! That one is also amazing and is considered a hit.
@@ilyamiskov yes definitly...."in the lap of the gods ",love of My Life..
That's what she meant. She just said it differently that's all.
Justin Bieber: "I can sing better than ANYONE"......Freddie Mercury: "Hold my crowd darling"
Justin Bieber had a decent voice as a kid. Freddie Mercury is the definition of talent. No contest here.
@@PositivelyKush yes. That's the point of the comment.
Even as a ghost
Wish l could write like that.
Succinct and side splitting.
JUSTINCASE HE SHITS HIS PANTS
Freddie Mercury: You can do whatever you want with my music but never make me boring.
Freddie will never be boring 😁
When you're sick, and dying of AIDS, and you come out and give probably THE greatest performance of all time!!!
R.I.P. Freddie Mercury 😢
OF ALL TIME
yes it was,lemmy kilminster was another,lived to perform
yeah - thats a great comment - love it
This was in 1985 Freddie Mercury was diagnosed in 1987 after becoming ill in late 1986, and only made is known 24hours before his death in 1991. He told the rest of Queen in 1989. So in this performance none of them knew what was about to unfold. Its a misconception that he has dying of Aids here. However, there is a theory that Freddie Mercury contracted HIV early 80s but the tests were not reliable at all and he was not displaying any of the symptoms to make anyone worried or concerned at that time.
Yeah, that was constructed for the movie.
That face you make when you realize you have been a Queen fan all your life.... it never gets old
"I've never heard this song"
It's amazing how many people today have never heard the very song that Lady Gaga named herself after.
Yes! Was thinking the same. But so wonderful to have music grow like this so easily by generations.
The song was originally called radio caca! Could of been very different for lady gaga haha. Lucky they changed it
@@bloodyhellism Her music would still have been caca though.
@@TheRodentSama don't mind some gaga pretty talented . Wasn't a fan of her gimmicky stuff but. She's very different now
Freddie Mercury is one of the best front men ever. His charisma and attention to detail made him legendary 👏🙌
Agree, but Not just that, magnificent voice ( could reach 4 octaves) wrote historical songs like bohemian rhapsody ,
great performer, that entire band was genius
I read once
After watching this performance Paul McCartney turned and said
"How do you follow that?"
It was actually David Bowie
I watched the entire Live Aid show as an 18 year old girl. Both the USA and UK concerts. It was an all day/ night concert with the biggest musical stars in the entire world. However the UK part, as wonderful as they all were? It became known as The Queen Show. Best twenty minutes of musical rock n roll history. Queen wasn’t considered the huge draw by the producers as they weren’t as big then as the newer hotter stars like Phil Collins and U2. More nostalgic. However the producers underestimated the magic of Freddie and Queen. Timeless and hits like a punch today just as it did when I was a kid. I’m a 55 year old woman now, but will never forget that day.
Diane Sterns That is AMAZING that you got to witness that and be apart of that. Very happy for you! ☺️
Diane Sterns I'm 61 living in Australia. I watched it live here, queen came on early morning if I remember. I will never forget the concert.
I watched live aid in a horrible rented room on a borrowed t.v on a rainy Manchester, England Saturday, All I can remember from that day is how Amazing Queen were. I’m now 56 years old . Freddie is so missed but never forgotten.
Saturday 13th July 1985. What a day. A hot, sunny day (unusual for Scotland). 16 yrs old and watched the entire concert from start till end. Opened with Status Quo, Rocking all over the world. Walked to my mates house for an evening Live Aid party and every house had the windows open and concert blaring out. What a day. Once saw an interview with Bob Geldof, he said the concert had gone a bit flat and the donations had started to slow. He had just done a piece to camera backstage asking for more money to be donated when he heard the crowd erupt. WTF has happened he thought. Freddie had just arrived on stage and was doing what he does better than anyone before or since. Had the audience in his hands. Reinvigorated the entire audience of 72,000. The donations started pouring in again.
59 and Australian. It was a great day.
Freddie's last note was called "the note that was heard around the world." There were 1.5 billion people watching either live or on TV.
Which one in
There weren't 1.5 billion watching, thats an outright lie
@@davidevans6384 Wrong. The official number was around 1.5 to 1.9 billion people. 40% of the world's population. That number has never been disputed. The concert was broadcast to 150 nations. Those in attendance at Wembley was around 70,000.
@@Liam-ly8rv flat out wrong. Thats why Wikipedia isn't allowed as a source for school papers. Wikipedia says 1.9 billion. The History Channels website says 1.0 billion. I think I know which one I believe more.
@@Liam-ly8rv not to mention in 1985 only 50% of u.s. homes had televisions... and there were many many parts of the world with a much smaller percentage of homes that had a television set.
The moment he stepped on stage you could tell this was going to be epic. He didn’t waste anything; he and the band jumped right into it and never came back down. They just kept ascending. That’s hard to do. I’m a true Prince fan at my core and nothing can ever replace him but this guy has my utmost admiration and respect. It’s 2023 and I’ve been around since Purple Rain and now I’m living history by watching a legend pour out his essence.
I watched Live Aid just to get a chance to watch Freddie Mercury live (R.I.P.) and have forever been thankful to have witnessed it live even though it was on television. At that moment Freddie held the whole world in the palm of his hand and it was incredible.
Absolutely not....top 40 garbage....Neil Young destroys him
The moment that Queen captivated the World, including all the other artists waiting to go on the stage, one of whom famously complained to Bob Geldof "How the F are we supposed to follow that?"
And that artist who complained was an icon himself....David Bowie!
They aren't even half way through the first half of the first verse of the first song and she is tearing up! 💖💖
It was Bowie who was the next artist on. If you can find the full concert it's well worth a watch as you can see Bowie mouth 'You Bastards'
If david Bowie asks how he can follow you because he thinks your that amazing you know your on some next level to the rest of the world entirely.
@@Lord_Shouty it was all in good fun though I am sure he had a healthy respect for Queen and apparently Freddie was a huge Bowie fan.
I saw Queen on their first American tour, a long time ago. Now I'm sitting here during covid crisis, I'm 62 years old with tears of joy running down my cheeks!
I love this because Freddy got to show off his charisma with the crowd. He was just pure talent plain and simple and a very class act. The crowd just loved him. He had/has a huge following.
freddie not freddy
@@user-rg1lk6fq8o I know you are right it just typed in that way.
Jayy
Your reaction to this is priceless. The emotion and joy that sweeps across your face as the concert went on shows how much Freddie touched your soul, as he does us all.
Keep on keeping on girl.❤
They knew they only had about twenty minutes, and they made every damn second count. GOAT.
One of the greatest sets in Rock history
Agreed
Wrong, THE Greatest set of all time!
Most critics consider it the greatest live performance of all time.
PROBABLY THE GREATEST HANDS DOWN.
one of? You are kidding, right?
Freddie enters and she starts smiling ❤
THE greatest performer to ever live. They absolutely stole the show that day.
There is not a peacock in the world that has anything on Freddie. I love the way he struts around the stage!!
The words "crowd control" have never been more literal.
If you think that was impressive, check out Queen at London 2012 closing ceremony. The man had been dead for 20 years and the crowd still did what he wanted them to do.
Freddie wrote the song ‘Crazy Little Called Love’ while in the bath tub. He wrote it in 10 minutes ❤️
They weren't even on the original lineup for Live Aid, and were a last-minute add on. And they stole the show.
Not true at all, the queen movie exaggerated that. They were actually pressured because the organizer of live aid said they were coming without asking the band first so they decided to do it. They definitely were not last minute.
@@frostycanuck1711 and they were the only band to rehearse to the time.
When Freddie stepped on stage, he owned it. He owned the crowd too.
It was good up til queen started then i was stopped in my tracks.
It was mesmerising.
The greatest voice there ever will be.
As as die hard metal head and a past touring death/speed metal musician.....I can confidently say that the loss of Freddy Mercury was a true tragedy. Not only to music but to the human race. RIP my brother.
Brian May, the lead guitarist, is one of the best guitarists of all time. (and an astrophysicist to boot)
somehow Brian May looks like Isaac Newton
@@acadepedia he styles his hair with science!
PhD!
Roger Taylor qualified dentist , John Deacon Qualified electrical engineer , Brian may scientist , Freddie graphic designer who designed Queens album covers
He's crazy underrated
I love your “Oh shit, they sing THAT, too!!” look.
She didn’t even have to say anything when they started “We Are the Champions” lol
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED that reaction!!!
@@YankeeBlues21 I KNOW!! I love that so much
I was like "Hell yeah I know!! I KNOW RIGHT!!!"
that´s the begin of a legend. i watch that live on tv. when queen finish that amazing performance the guy doing the comments could only say "OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD". then started the phone calls. reporters all around the world saying people in front of tv shops, in bars, coffeshops, anywhere with a tv toned in queen live aid show dancing and singing. in japan, australia, india, africa, south america... definitely the biggest sing a long the world has ever seen
I remember having my living room full of friends as we gathered together to watch the entire Live Aid for Africa concert as it was happening. It was a very special day for the entire world, and everyone we knew watched it as well. We all felt like we were Brothers and Sisters, regardless of race, color, or country of origin. We were just humans trying to make a difference in our world and combine our efforts to help other humans who desperately needed help. Music brought us all together that day and it was powerful. Queen's performance at the end of the concert was the icing on the cake. It was like magic, and one of the best days of my life. I became a teenager in the late 70's and a young adult in the 80's, and the music during that time was incredible. I'm so glad to see the multitude of 'reaction' videos made by younger generations who are discovering how amazing the music was in those days. Keep listening, and keep discovering, there is much, much more to be uncovered. Peace. ✌
The song they did called radio Ga Ga, Lady Ga Ga named herself from that song.
Also Abba named their song mama mia
@@freddysantin1822 Mamma Mia was released 1 month before Bohemian Rhapsody. Two great songs though.
I've listened to Queen all my life, and Radio Gaga is top 3 easily, for me.
@ bro.. boheiman rapshody.. created by taken a years..that song is very difficult..got 5 genre inside that song...tq
Thank Roger Taylor for writing "Radio Ga Ga"
Ever since discovering queen a couple months ago I’ve listened to their songs every day and have literally re watched live aid about 20 times lmao 😂
And you'll agree that they are awesome, right?
Huw Bass I can’t wait to see my Spotify summary at the end of the year, I’ll let u know how many hours of queen I’ve listened to since July 😂
And yes their awesome!
Fuckin A!
Queens live aid performance is widely considered the BEST live performance by ANY band of all time.
I agree and I was there that day and they were the best I have seen live and that includes,Floyd,Genesis,The Police, Dire Straits,Tina Turner,Status Quo
Absolutely not don't even say that....wimpy top 40....Santana at Woodstock doing Soul Sacrifice or Who doing Won't Get Fooled Again blows this garbage away...4 Way Street with Crosby Stills Nash and Young doing Southern Man or Carry On kills this....Lynard Skynard doing Free Bird Live way better
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN I thought Queen were great but i thought they gave better shows in '81 but anyway still best band at Live Aid.
AMAZING IS THE LEAST I COULD SAY. THESE GUYS ARE PHENOMENAL- WHAT TALENT. RIP FREDDIE! THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU‼‼‼👍
Sounds GREAT!! No auto tune, just pure genius.R.I.P. Freddie, you ARE MISSED!!
It's funny watching you realise you've been listening to queen your whole life.
Everyone once in their life heard a queen song without knowing. That is how it is xD
The look on your face each time you realize they are behind another classic you've already heard many times is priceless 😁😍💗
Crazy little thing called love was a tribute to Elvis Pressley.
Written in 10 mins while in the bathtub,
I will never ever forget Freddie Mercury!!!!
mary weiss me eighter
When he did the eeeh oh thing... man... that crowd was in his palms.
Not just that crowd. This was Live Aid, all over the world we were watching and we were all in the palm of his hand.
Freddie’s doctor advised him not to sing at Live Aid. He had a couple of vodkas before performing to help his voice. Brilliant showman.
They're on my list when the Time Machine gets invented
And mine
And Mine!
Luckily, I got to see them live in the 70s (yeah, I'm old)...but I wouldn't mind at all going back and seeing them again!
Hell yeah. Me too.
See you there
Realize just how difficult Queen songs are to sing. Then know that Freddie’s doctors advised him not to sing because of polyps on his vocal cords. He went on anyway and performed the best 20 minutes of music EVER. So , Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio GaGa ( where Lady GaGa took her name) , Ehhoooh , Hammer to Fall ( the biggest hit from their album just released at the time) , Crazy Little Thing Called Love( Freddie wrote it in tribute to Elvis after he died) , We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions. These last two were written to encourage audience participation. They sure did ‼️‼️‼️
We Will Rock You and We are the Champions are two completely separate songs. Somewhere after the album was released, some radio DJ had decided both were too short to play individually, so he did a bit of mixing and created the ‘song’ we all know; even if many no longer know who it’s by. But you hear that “ThumpThump CLAP!” And you instinctively understand it.
It wasn't polyps, it was the early stages of HIV/AIDS, but he hadn't been diagnosed. He was very unwell, and running a fever but still came out and delivered a performance for the ages.
freddie wrote crazy thing in the bath in 20 minutes.
Also it is well known that Freddie wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, no one knows why he wrote it. He did say he had 6 incomplete songs and that he took those songs and choreography them into one. No one asked him why he did what he did. A lot of his songs where like that. I think that there is only one song that he mentioned a true meaning behind and that is "Love of My Life" which was for Mary Austin is best friend and former fiance.
@@dbradx I totally agree with you, he performed the best, even though you can hear the cracking in his song in We are the Champions.
The crowd speaks volumes..... I remember that whole concert like it was yesterday... And Queens performance was the icing on the cake... Shivers 😊❤️
I love watching the young people find Queen, ... particularly Live Aid. Unfortunately, music doesn’t get any better than that. It really is the greatest live performance of all time.
The greatest love fest between an artist and an audience ever filmed! Brilliant!
Watching the joy on your face is why we view these reactions. Congratulations you have just now seen what is considered to be the greatest live performance of all time! ❤️
A defining moment in music history. One of, if not, the greatest live performances of all time. No rehearsal, no pay check, just 25 mins, but all from the heart and for a wonderful cause. I remember the day like it was yesterday but now nearly 36 years ago. RIP Freddie and thank you, Queen, for the memories. ❤️
@Pietrasantino, they actually rehearsed for several days before the concert, and I believe that they were the only band that did so.
Never not even close top 40 wimpy garbage....The Who or Crosby Stills Nashand Young would slay them in their sleep
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN except they didn’t. Although, the Who are excellent live and have inspired generations after them.
Freddie appears, I start to smile. Magic. The whole band were absolutely talented too, must add that.
Youll not get a live performance like that ever again i can assure you,there will be nobody like him again,he was that good
Them
@@ShannonRous no he said it correctly. Brian May is one of the most amazing guitarists of all time but please make no mistake that Queen would have been nothing without Freddie Mercury. There has not nor will there ever be another front man like him EVER again.
@@jenniferpettigrew1674 I loved her reaction at 21:20 when she drifts off recalling where she heard this tune and then at 21:26 she sees that the entire stadium is alive.
@@jenniferpettigrew1674 never say never
Floor Jansen
KZ Tandigan
Jessie J
Lara Fabian
interesting there's more women than men in this elite class now of riveting vocal beasts who can seize the stage with body and voice and soul all at once.
RIP Gord Downie too. His final concert was just as powerful.
Maybe not in the west. But Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Alam lohar, Kuldeep manak, Sukhwinder Singh, and various other Indian/Pakistani singers are at that level, or better. Part of the reason for this is genetics (incidentally, Freddie was born a Parsi Indian) and part of it is a culture in which singers take pride in practicing for hours each day.
I recommend you listen to some of those singers before you say there will never be such a live performance.
I love your reaction! It’s fun to see the lights go on when a newcomer discovers the originator of these songs.
I can watch this 21 minutes of music history over and over again!!! Best performance ever!!!
That he gets, no insists! the crowd to sing with him. All those people together. This was beautiful. You were beautiful Faruk, you made life around you better.
TY! I was trying to remember his real name!
@@53mandevilla You are welcome. Farrokh Bulsara, from Zanzabar. His family were Zorarastrians, a religion which says that petty disputes over lifestyle choices are distractions. A truly Godly person contributes to the life of everyone around him.
His connection with the audience was magical.
No disrespect, but I always find it kind of funny when people realize that "We will rock you" and "We are the champions" are actual original Queen (with Freddie) songs. Queen wrote that shit.
I mean, those two pieces can be heard everywhere, but it seems nobody actually knows their origin.
It’s not disrespectful I totally get it
Brian May wrote we will rock you, all 4 members of the band wrote hits and worldwide number ones even had a number one in the black music charts with another one bites the dust!
Roger - Radio Gaga
Brian - We will Rock You
Freddie - We are the champions
John wrote the big hits, him and Freddie were the big timers.
@@mrexists5400 they are two separate songs.
@@mrexists5400 They are two separate songs. They run back-to-back (like a medley) on the album, and generally get played together on the radio. Queen would perform them live back-to-back in almost every concert performance.
Freddie Mercury was THE Showman! He could command the crowd like no other ❤
The second song, "Radio Gaga", was where Lady Gaga got her stage name.
I don't remember who said this quote. They said, "Freddie Mercury had the mic in one hand and billions of people in the other hand." How true that statement was.
For 21 minutes in 85 the world stood still
I was lucky enough to have attended one of their concerts in Montreal. Event of a lifetime, i would've loved to been at live aid. More than 70,000 people and Freddie was the master of crowd control. It is fantastic to see a new generation falling in love with the music of my generation.
When you are performing in London and achieved audience participation in Philadelphia, you have officially.stolen the show.
70,000 at live aid in Wembley??? TRY 200,000
@@paulpenketh9435 yes, counting all remote stadiums, Around 72,000 in Wembly stadium where they played. For 20 minutes he held the world's attention, so maybe millions.
It was beamed via 13 satellites to 110 countries the total audience was 1 billion. My family was rocking out in our living room 🤘
I'd love to see you reaction to - '' LONDON, ENGLAND Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody - Hyde Park July 1st - ''. where there is no one on stage
It's incredible to see 65.000 young people singing in sync Bohemian Rhapsody the whole song nearly 30 years after his death (and more than 40 years from the releasing of the song).
The way that the crowd gets involved is one of the coolest thing ever.
Freddie still has a full control of the crowd from Heaven
Makes you very emotional
Truth

That is fantastic!
@@flodjod ive seen it before and will never get tired of it. that is literally the best tribute Freddie could have gotten
@@flodjod That give me goosebumps every time I watch it.
I love seeing your face and realizing who's actually the ones you've been hearing all your life, very cute!!
Watched it live - remember it like yesterday. The best music set I’ve ever seen.
Your face ... such a picture as you realise we will rock you is Queen 😂... waiting for the next song hehehe... LOL!!!!! That was hysterical ... yes Queen ... I loved the reaction and yes it was a short set... and you experienced the real Queen ... it’s hard to see others cos the talent is amazing. Fab fab fab ✨✨✨👑🎸🎹🎼🌺👏👏👏
I’ve grown up with the sound Queen for a long time now, in my twenty age years and till now. I’m now sixty eight and still they are fabulous. Never heard any band to beat them. It still makes an old man cry😢😢 will always love Queen
Absolute quality from start to finish. Brilliant 20 minutes from the Greatest Band Ever !!
Love her cute reactions :) I was waiting for WE WILL ROCK YOU, I knew you would know that one, all queen songs and all legendary songs. :) No artist today can compare.
You've Just watched one of the most epic live performances ever given.
By the way, this wasn't even one of "their" concerts - when the tickets were sold, they weren't even on the list of performers, so many in the crowd weren't Queen fans... until after this performance, lol. They were known to fill stadiums in various parts of the world, sometimes playing for 300,000 in one concert. That kind of explains how they were so comfortable playing for the 72,000 at Wembly. Still a lot, but nothing for Queen, who almost invented the stadium concert.
Yeah, Freddie was about the only one to use that stage to its fullest extent and then some.
Before Queen took the stage, Live Aid was pretty much a flop when it came to why it existed; a massive concert televised to raise awareness, and money, for famines in Africa. Viewership was low, donations were few and Bob Geldoff, creator of Live Aid was furious at the lackluster coverage and was on his way behind the scenes to give the BBC a piece of his mind. Then, not originally on the billing, the lead singer ill and advised by his doctor to take the stage, one of their biggest hits hampered because staging and performance considerations wouldn’t permit them to use necessary background recordings, Queen took to the stage. HearingFreddie sing,Bob turned around, knowing things were going to be just fine.
And they make the cuot for the live aid just queen
@KevAng039 Rewatch what happened during the U2 performance. Bono going AWOL and the rest of the band not knowing if he'd ever make it back to the stage 🤣 Put U2 on the World Map for good.
@@redbandita020 lol very true.
I can’t ever control the smile after every one of Rog’s “Ready Freddie”s!!!
this set came just at the right time at live aid, it had been a long long day and up steps freddie mercury and queen, he took the stage and showed the world what a live performance should look like, he strutted, flirted and raised the bar forever , the genius of the man lives on
The greatest front man in music history, and the best live performance in history.
Best 20 minutes ever in music 😎
Freddie was the consummate leader and worked that audience. He was a unique talent that may never be seen again in this world.
Yes honey, there was no auto tune in ‘85, it didn’t exist and Freddie’s voice was unique, period. He famously could sing four octaves above any other person on the planet. He and his band Queen were one the biggest bands on the planet then and sadly we lost Freddie just 6 years later to HIV Aids, awful, awful disease, he was 45 😕 Thank you so much for featuring this on your channel, much love from the UK 🇬🇧
The greatest musical performance in history, OF THE WORLD!
We ALL know Freddy was damn royalty but people forget how much of a king Brian May is 🎸👑
And a Dr of Astrophysics, and an environmental campaigner - amazing !
God yes. Beyond talented guitarist, singer and songwriter.
We all found out that day that we all knew every word of every Queen song.
My God what command of the audience.
Forget p t barnum, Freddie was the greatest showman who ever lived
Showman and had the greatest voice. Nobody will ever match it.
100 agree. He was not just an entertainer, he was THE entertainer
Agree
If you think Freddie was impressive here keep in mind he had a throat infection proving Freddie at 50 percent was better than many frontmen at 100 percent! Your reaction to “ We Will Rock You” was priceless! 😃
you are right his doctor advised him not to do it....
Hearing radio gaga gives me chills, especially with his crowd participation insaneeee.
I was there! I was crying my eyes out,one of the most amazing experiences of my life!!,the greatest showman,you had liberace,we had freddie,!
