    It was quite hard for Freddie to perform this song live because the original track features David Bowie on backing vocals and so Freddie had to sing all of the low octave vocals that Bowie did on the track which was quite tricky for Freddie, since he doesn't usually sing in that low octave. Great reaction tho man! Really like your vibe. :D React to 'Queen, Somebody to Love - live at Montreal 1981' please!

    • @spacemonkey4811
      @spacemonkey4811 4 роки тому

      The new Wembley can hold that many, not the old. I think the new one opened in 2009. When o was in my first flush of being a queen fan, whole Freddie was still alive I had a book about the Magic Tour, I remember it saying it was either 72 or 74, certainly not higher.
      Do you really want to continue arguing this stuff with me. I am obsessive about this stuff and don't forget these things (in quote specific terms - i.e 82 - 74). You cannot win this, plus 'standing room' is irrelevant as it was sold out. The 72 - 74 element depended upon how big the stage is/was.

There is an actual mashup UA-cam vid of Freddie and his mic!
    Thanks again and even if you don't do a review, I encourage you to check out the Live Aid performance by Queen. That, by itself, will earn your respect, if nothing else. They were true artists.

    Yes, Vanilla Ice did steal the riff from Queen, and yes, they stole it, they didn't ask permission to use the sample and just did it, they got sued but Vanilla Ice made so much money, he bought the rights to this song to avoid more legal issues. Also, to really hear his amazing vocals, you should react to The Show Must Go On, there are no live versions because he was very ill when he recorded it and died of AIDS about a year later, but he sang the entire song in 1 take while barely being able to stand due to his deteriorating condition, he took a shot of vodka and sang his heart out in 1 take and the result is breathtaking, perfectly healthy people can't even get close to his performance. Freddie was a trooper, he only cared about making music and that was his passion, he put his all into it at all times, even when he was rapidly dying from AIDS, he fought through and destroyed his vocal chords just to give some of his final vocals ever. Absolutely amazing and such an inspiration.

    • @USCanthony
      @USCanthony 5 років тому +24

      nL Prodigy Vanilla Ice didn't buy the rights to "Under Pressure". In 2017 he made a somewhat confussing claim while doing a radio interview that he bought the rights from Bowie and Queen. According to Brian May and Queens management, that isn't correct but they think he may just be stating what the out of court settlement does allow for in a convoluted and confussing way. He settled out of court with both Bowie and Queen for an undisclosed amount and he had to give both Bowie and Queen writting credit on "Ice Ice Baby". He did not have to give them a percentage of future royalties though and they agreed that he could contune to use the song under his name and he had the right to use it in future compilations and such without having to get permission from them so long as he continued to give them writting credits. So it is assumed that he was saying that he owned the right to continue to use the bass line in that one song in future released versioins or compilations (although I doubt there will be a demand for it) and that is why he said he owns the rights. He doesn't own the rights to "Under Pressure" though. The settlement gave him the right to continue to use the bass line in any possible future incarnations of "Ice Ice Baby" and only for "Ice Ice Baby".

    Queen's twenty minute performance, which commenced at 6.41pm, has been voted - by more than 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives - the greatest live performance in the history of rock.[18][19] Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury at times led the crowd in unison refrains,[20]and his sustained note during the a cappella section came to be known as "The Note Heard Round the World".[19] The band's six song set opened with a shortened version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and closed with "We Are the Champions".[2][21][22] Mercury and fellow band member Brian May later sang the first song of the three-part Wembley event finale, "Is This the World We Created...?"[22]
    the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people).[1]

    I grew up in the seventies with Queen. Nice to see you kids discover the best band ever. To understand Queen you have to know that Queen is a genre on it’s own. Al band members wrote number one hits. They all where/are highly educated. Roger the drummer is a dentist, Brian May the gitarist is a Master of Science in Astrofysics , John Deacon the bassist is a electro technician and invented the deacon amp which bands still use today. And Freddy, well he was somethong close to god. Freddy could reach 4 octaves which is verry rare for a man. This video is from their live at wembley show. There where about 80,000 people there. And yes, vanilla ice stole it. Check out, Radio Gaga from Queen at live aid 1985.

    Wembley stadium has a capacity of around 72,000. At this point in the bands history they generally sold out every night or day that they had a concert no matter how big the stadium was. They actually hold the world record for playing a concert in front of the largest paying crowd (some free music festivals had larger crowds, hence "paying") when they played to approximately 700,000 people in the space of just 13 concerts with the show at São Paulo in Brazil. One of those 13 days set the record with 131,000 setting the world record for the biggest paying audience at 131,000 people. Oh....and yes, Vanilla Ice sampled the opening bass line from "Under Pressure" without permission. I am not sure how he thought he could get away with sampling that iconic bass line without the bands permission and not get busted for it. In the end both Queen and David Bowie (who co-wrote the song with Queen) filed a law suit and Vanilla Ice stupidly tried to claim it was his own creation because he added an extra note in places. Anyone with functioning ears knew he ripped it off though and he ended settling with Bowie and Queen out of court for an undisclosed amount. I am sure it was an expensive mistake but "Ice, Ice Baby" is also the song that put him on the map so the end cost may still have been worth the idiot move.

    • @TheComicBookJoker
      @TheComicBookJoker 5 років тому +1

      Anthony Minier seeing as part of the settlement included permission to use the bass line for any and all live or remixed versions of “Ice Ice Baby” so long as he gave Queen and Bowie writing credit, I’d say his stupid move payed off handsomely.

    That's a Wembley Statium so about 65K people were there, I think. That is the Magic tour, Queen's last tour. He is using a half mic stand. - The crowd call and response from the first of this was used at the 2012 London Olympics, projected onto multiple screens to get the crowd going at the closing ceremonies - that's over 20 years after Freddie's death, he could still get a crowd into the palm of his hand. RIP Freddie and Happy Birthday on September 5! PASS!

      The old Wembley could hold over 100,000, as it did for Live Aid, and it looks as though it was the same for this performance.And, the call/response that Freddie does? He's actually using vocal warm up exercises as part of that. It happens to work very nicely for something like that.

    A couple of notes. Yes, Vanilla Ice sampled from Queen. This song was done in the studio with David Bowie on co-lead vocals during a single night of partying. Word around the campfire is Mercury and Bowie did not get along very well putting an end to a collaboration that could have produced some amazing music. Def check out the studio version with Bowie. Brings out an emotion that does not get captured live.
    I believe the crowd was around 72000 peeps. Queen broke the world record for largest crowd to see a single performer when they played in front of 132,000 people in Brazil. In fact they played in front of 700,000 people over 13 shows in Brazil. At the time it smashed attendance records. It has probably been broken by now but Queen were the pioneers of large stadium performances. Only Freddie had a big enough personality to pull that off. A true showman.
    To my recommends. Innuendo, March of the Black Queen (a personal favorite), Another One Bites the Dust, Fat Bottom Girls, The Prophet's Song and a list that could go on and on. In my humble opinion Queen has a catalog of great tunes that is unmatched. Rarely a weak song on an album.

    The old stadium which was where this concert took place, was demolished in about 2000 and now we have an even more fantastic new Wembley Stadium in its place.
    I say all this because it happens to be my local stadium here in London, only about 4 miles from my house. The arch above the stadium is visible from high points all across London.

    Man, this is my first time to watch your channel and you're great! This reaction trend is great because it's introducing music lovers to things they might not ever hear/listen to and it's bringing people together. Music has always done this and always will. I've listened to Queen since their first hit (yes, I'm old!) and still have one of their CDs on shuffle in my car. And always open to good new music, too. My son often shares his likes with me, including Prog Rock and metal. It's all good in it's own way!
    This is stadium rock, son!!! These bands brought in so many people. Back in the day there were huge stadium concerts and people for miles. I saw The Rolling Stones in a stadium and it was awesome. Concerts now are much smaller affairs than they used to be.
    If you haven't yet, listen to the version of "Under Pressue" with Freddie and David Bowie. For country songs, might I suggest Keith Whitley-When You Say Nothing At All and/or Brooks and Dunn-Maria.

    What's crazy is that was his vocal warmup in the beginning, he got the crowd up off their feet and hype for HIS VOCAL WARMUP. 100,000 people (most ever in a stadium). When I watched the performance I can only think about what he was feeling, the greatest front man ever, a man that was doubted by his own family, even his own band at times, people disliked him because he was gay all of that, imagine all of that flowing through you as you perform what would go on to be known as one of the greatest performances ever for the biggest crowd ever.

    The Magic Tour in 1986 was Queen's final ever tour with their lead singer Freddie Mercury and bass guitarist John Deacon. On this occasion the tour did not extend beyond Europe and included back-to-back shows at Wembley Stadium in London (where INXS and Status Quo were the supporting acts) as well as one concert at Budapest in Hungary. One striking image of Mercury from the Wembley show would be regularly used for promotional purposes (e.g. the Tribute Concert posters, the memorial statue at Montreux, the cover of the Greatest Hits III album, the Musical billboards). Throughout the tour, Mercury would regularly make an impromptu statement on stage that denounced the rumour that Queen were about to split up. As "God Save the Queen" played over the PA system at the end of each show, Mercury would come on stage wearing a cloak and a replica of the crown jewels. After this tour, Queen were credited as being one of the first rock bands to employ the oversized screen (or Jumbotron) at live concerts. Many of the shows were recorded and a heavily edited album, titled Live Magic, was released shortly afterwards. Similarly the Budapest concert was released as the Live In Budapest video (released on DVD, Blu-ray and CD as Queen Hungarian Rhapsody: Live In Budapest in November 2012) and one of the Wembley concerts would be released as the Live At Wembley album/CD and video/DVD many years later. The final show of the tour was held on 9 August 1986 at Knebworth Park in England (with Status Quo as support act) and drew an estimated 200,000 in attendance.

    Tnere were over 100,000people there that day. Freddie Mercury died in 1991 due to complication of aids. The reason he carries a half mic stand went way back when he first sang the first time on stage in a very small concert and he couldn't get the mic adjusted to his height and pulled it out of the stand and that was history! He had a custom mike made up just like that as his trademark! He was the Best Of The Best! I grew up listening to them backin the 70's .
