@@tsukigalleta nope, although he mostly played with fingers, it depended on the song, and actually used picks for lots of songs when it suited them, Under Pressure being a prime example.
@@MrUsermister Brian and Rogers egos would have you believe, it was their talents that made Queen..Your financials may say it, but without Freddie and John..Your just to guys cashing in on the only band named QUEEN, which ended with absence of John and Freddie..My God, what HUGE EGOS they have, and when you start making snide remarks about an original member, is beyond disgust, especially when you both have had your share of crap going on in your own life...Your NOT Queen....
@@mariaignagni2860 I agree. What they call Queen +AL isn't even half of Queen. It's 2 drummers, 4 guitars, back up singers, 2 piano players, a synth player etc. Brian is the one with the massive ego. As the decades have gone by his stories have all changed. I saw Queen live. It can't ever happen again without John and Freddie!!
he was the dancer with the sexy legs of the group. john legs has the best muscular tone because freddie was slender. jim said freddie was very slender & before freddie he liked beefy men..brian legs look like stilts.john looks great in shorts. i watch freddie & john with out them it just is not queen. i heard brian say they were not going to write any new songs. what? just keep playing the old songs? can they not write any new songs? i always had the feeling freddie teaked most of their songs & something i read in google said more or less that it is true.
I love the way they each just wore what they wanted at each concert, shorts, bare feet, no shirt (Roger), glammed up, royalty digs, whatever. It was all good.
Ever notice Deaky never smiles during a performance? During interviews, he has the gentlest smile - the kind that warms the heart and soul. Nice guy....
This is SOOO good for so many reasons! One reason being that when you take the focus off the "lead" guys - the singer and guitar player - you suddenly feel how "solid" the song is from the rhythm section's point of view. Any song can feel like there are so many parts all flurrying in different directions, but seeing this makes you realize how simple and structured a good song has to be at its base. No tooling around like assholes or gloryhunters - Taylor and Deacy just lay down a SOLID bedrock that makes it *possible* for the other two guys to flurry around and hog the stardom!
This is the best of Queen.. The fucking Balls out , ROCKING till your pants drop..The most underrated Bass player of all time.. He was the driving force behind every song they ever recorded..I love Freddie, but Deacon, May and Taylor were extremely talented musicians.The best live band ever..
@@Vinguy11 Yes😉. Best live band I've ever seen. Not arrogant all all. 4 beautiful men. Mind-blowing show. I can name several famous bands where I wanted my money back.... Queen were always sensational.
Jon Dunmore - The way I look at the bass and drums is that they are the canvas that allows the "lead" instruments to paint their picture. Without a great rhythm section any band stinks no matter how good the show offs are. Taylor was steady. Deacon was a master. They were always lock step. His most catchy riffs are often very simple but real ear worms! Others are complex as hell. The point is, the bass anchors the band and he knew exactly what to play to make each song shine. When I watch any of their videos, I look for Deaky to see what he is doing. He's all business and often in his own little world but can't keep still. He really FEELS the music. He wants to be good, not a show off.
Just imagine: on any normal-sized club stage, with another band of amateur dudes, Deacy would be regarded as a total mover and rocker - but in this band HE is the quiet one.
Juliet Lambert , very true. I would HAVE to be drinking to get in front of crowds that big. I would be surprised if they DIDN'T down a few before, during, and after. LOL
Han Drayss, oooooh ja, John has the most powerful, beautiful, expressive hands - I only saw Queen live one time and was just mesmerised watching him and Freddie... Check out the live concerts from the rainbow (1974) and Odeon (1975) if you haven't already seen them - at 'the rainbow' John gets a lot more camera time than in many other concerts (partly because he is so close to Freddie on piano, and maybe this particular camera-person/editor was a bit more balanced/intelligent!). The closing rock medley at the Odeon 1975 John is fking savage improvising and soloing on the bass, it is towards the end of jailhouse rock - the camera lingers on John's hands and it is just wild, so beautiful.
John Deacon is an AMAZING bass player....he makes it look so easy..John, I hope you’re keeping well🌺....Freddie shouting at John “Go Johnny go”...from the Chuck Berry song “Johnny B.Goode”..as an appreciation of John’s bass playing...and for good measure, Freddie singing “Down in the city just Hoople and me”...a reference to the time they supported Mott the Hoople on the bill in New York🤩
So great to have this visual perspective of John. 99% of Queen videos highlight Freddie with only quick cuts to the rest of the band so it's awesome to see John's complete contribution to a performance.
Phenomenal musician. Have the utmost respect for this guy. When FM died he knew that was it and so quietly slipped off. Never been tempted back. JD has an amense degree of dignity. Sadly missed but well deserved retirement
One of the reason Freddie liked johnny was that he didn't try to overshadow him, like other bassists did, during auditions and early gigs. He clearly understimated the power of disco deaky!!!
Ну наконец-то и я увидела Джона в работе от начала песни и до конца. А то секундными эпизодиками вставляли его в видео. Я уж думала, что никто так и не заснял Дикона для истории. Отличное видео! Люблю и уважаю этого скромнягу.
It’s so beautiful watching him like this. He was always the very quiet, shy, reserved one who didn’t say much in interviews and never really felt comfortable with the whole ‘fame’ weirdness that went with being part of Queen. So to see him in his element, so happy, just rocking out like this is wonderful. Although I do wonder if a cheeky ‘lemonade’ or two was involved here as well! 😁 (no criticism or disrespect to John intended, if anything that just makes it so much more precious. It shows the fun, happy John.
I always felt he's been a member of Queen who got kinda suprised how successful they've become. But look at him enjoying himself on stage. Deaky disco beast we all adore.
Wow just priceless to see Deaky and Roger and what they bring to this song and actually all of their songs. Because all four were great musicians is why they were and still are the greatest Rock band of all time . ❤
Aug. 19th 2019...Happy Birthday to everyone's favorite dancing Queen, John Deacon! Watching you dance around with your bass makes me happy and inspires me to open the video full screen on one of my monitors, crank up the volume, and get the heck out of my computer chair and dance along with you!! I hope you are doing well and are enjoying your retirement and time with your family. Thank you so much for helping to create all the wonderful music that millions of people all over the planet still enjoy today! Wishing you a happy and healthy year ahead! We love you and miss you, Deaky!
I love our John Deacon.. loved looking at at him bouncing around in his shorts.. There was time when he would look like he was going to fall but he kept in" Rockin"..,He was a little doll...
First of all Deaky can pull of short shorts better than me. Second of all Deaky has better legs than me. Lastly Deaky can dance better than me. I am jealous especially since I am a girl.
,Jhon Deacon para mi es un bajista con mucho gusto todos los adornos que mete en las canciones solo a él se los he oído que forma de tocar es único sin lugar a dudas.Muchas gracias y espero que todos estén de acuerdo.Willy J.C.G.
I'm so in love with this man...but honestly I'm madly in love with all of Queen! Four world class musicians coming together to bring such joy to the masses! I love you Deaky!!🥁🎸🎹🎤👑❤️🤩🤩
5:55
John - *breaks a pick*
*a new pick appears*
6:05 *breaks that one*
John *thinks* ‘I guess fingers can’t break’
Except they can oH GOD JOHN NO.
This was actually unusual, because Deaky used to play the bass with his fingers only
@@tsukigalleta nope, although he mostly played with fingers, it depended on the song, and actually used picks for lots of songs when it suited them, Under Pressure being a prime example.
I’m offended that there isn’t a melting emoji cuz I need it RIGHT NOW
Speaking of... Did he break another one at 4:32? He seemed so pissed off
People always talk about how shy he is but the way he pulls off those moves wearing those micro shorts tell me otherwise
Hahaha, I know right!
He's a cool cat who doesn't need to try.
Women really love John I wish he would read these
The sad thing us that he has no ass.. we were ALL thinking it.
Like the rest of the Band...he nails it. Queen is...all or nothing.
Its impossible Queen without Deacon
... go figure without Freddie

Hello there dear! I've found you 😂
Hello

not to be dramatic but i’m in love with him
LOL, I know how you feel.
true dat
Absolutely besotted with John, always will be. He is fking beautiful.
@@pluto488 what kind of a question is that?
@@theraven6843 a shitty meme
John: **enthusiastic bouncing**
John Deacon bopping away is a joy to behold. He was just completely into his music.
Por supuesto la joyita de queen y lo más grande Fredy lo sabía por eso lo tenía en su regazo y el no pudo seguir cuando faltó Fredy 😢❤❤❤❤
I love it.....when Freddie said: Go Johny ...go
That was adorable when Freddie said that
It's a reference to 'Johnny B. Goode' due to the obvious similarities. Nothing to do with John Deacon.
@@vapeymcvape5000 I would disagree in this instance as it came right at the start of a very intense rhythm/bass section for John
@@vapeymcvape5000 I can't make up my mind whether it's Johnny B Goode or Deaky. Doesn't matter really. He kicks arse 😊
@@joannagodfrey5111 - Sure it's a reference to "Johnny B Goode" but it is obviously directed at Deaky! I agree with you.
I love the way they each just wore what they wanted at each concert, shorts, bare feet, no shirt (Roger), glammed up, royalty digs, whatever. It was all good.
Brian was usually always just black pants a loose white button up and Adidas
@@kylebunnyboy619 Um, no. Sad you didn't get to see various his starman outfits in the 70s.
LesPest And And sweater vests(john)
I like that also
Beckys Berries omg the sweater vests 😂😂 they looked cute tho
2:00 Deacy was so cute 😂
Theresya P he tripped omg ❤️
ssunflowerpalacee Where?
He tripped which made me think if he was ok
I heard deaky was drunked during this performance because of the stress :((
Finally the spotlight is on John. About time he got some recognition!! Love you John, even though you hate the attention. ❤️❤️❤️
exactly what I was thinking!
He broke two picks within like 20 seconds at the end there damn
Ever notice Deaky never smiles during a performance? During interviews, he has the gentlest smile - the kind that warms the heart and soul. Nice guy....
Quite a genius...!His bass lines such as Under pressure and Another one bites the dust to name a few, are simply milestones in rock music history.
The Fairy Fellas Masterstroke and Flick of the Wrist are sublime
Queen's Succeses were Deacon
Millionaire Waltz and Dragon Attack!
@@patty364t6 so fun bassline! he is a genius on the darkness

5:55 - 6:09
this man broke two picks in the span of less than twenty seconds.
I'm gonna have to rewatch this, I didn't think Deacon used a pick.
@@brook900 he did occasionally, but not all the time
@@brook900 he had 2 blue picks on his guitar all the time and they were hos favorite brand because they had a thumb grip or soemthing
That one person who disliked it. *Fight me.*
We are gonna fight 33 peeps lol
can we talk about john deacon's shorts for a moment? they are awesome and I want them ^_^
they're so short and sdlaøshfwf
Xdxdxd
Haha!! He had the worst taste in clothes but I still love him. I had a T-shirt like John’s & I’m a girl...
What a great video tracking deacon shorts love the eighties
I notice Queen is the one band from this period where the members do not shy away from wearing shorts (Brian did too sometimes) lol.
We will forever be trying to figure that guy out.
And that's the truest thing I've heard about John Deacon.
How can someone be this funky
He is such a dancer
Just imagine: on any normal-sized club stage, with another band of amateur dudes, Deacy would be regarded as a total mover and rocker - but in this band HE is the quiet one.
Jon Dunmore he's is a blockingly (stage blocking) loud one haha
Fun fact: This man did actually have a complete coctail bar behind his amps, so he could take a couple of drinks during the show :P
They ALL drank during the shows!! It is rock and roll my darlings...
Juliet Lambert , very true. I would HAVE to be drinking to get in front of crowds that big. I would be surprised if they DIDN'T down a few before, during, and after. LOL
Troppo bello
And the fact that even drunk they were still so in time and on point, just proves what amazing musicians they are!
He looks pretty tanked up here.
I just realized that John has such beautiful and long fingers. How come I didn't notice it before
Han Drayss, oooooh ja, John has the most powerful, beautiful, expressive hands - I only saw Queen live one time and was just mesmerised watching him and Freddie...

6 minutes and 21 seconds of pure brilliance from the legend of Deacy
I don't know what it is, but something about this guy just touches my heart.
Phenomenal musician. Have the utmost respect for this guy. When FM died he knew that was it and so quietly slipped off. Never been tempted back. JD has an amense degree of dignity. Sadly missed but well deserved retirement
Mr. John Deacon is probably my favorite Queen member among the 4 .
I just love his light personality. :)
I LOVE HOW they all had their own style, was true to themselves and then together made MAGIC!!!!!!
His bops and jumps give me hope
this is the best video on the internet i watch it when im sad because the minute i see deacy dancing he immediately cheers me up
So do I! Deacy always made my day through every performance 😊 he nailed it.. I find him hot in shorts 😉
Deacon was a genius.....and so cute.......❤❤❤❤
Sid Freddie say Go Johnny Go 3:28
Yeah he did
@Kayleigh Natasha aww thats adorable
Jenny Piontek It certainly is
Freddie used to do that: take it Brian, pretty boy (Roger), and now, go Johny go :)
Jenny Piontek yes I heard that too!
I love how he always stands in front of roger or next to Freddie when he’s on piano
One of the reason Freddie liked johnny was that he didn't try to overshadow him, like other bassists did, during auditions and early gigs. He clearly understimated the power of disco deaky!!!
Johnny? Dont think he was ever called that, go johnny if I remember to another song that works well in the live performance
@@williamg209two well he says it in this song and he's clearly refering to John ❤
Madein Heaven, I love your UA-cam name! :)
Source?
Deacon definitely one of the great rock bass players of all time. Deserves to be on any list!
Jerry P, absolutely! John is on Entwhistle's list - that says a great deal!
Interesting
Freddie always got the spotlight.... this is actually the first time i can see the real John
Well freddie is the lead singer
John Deacon is in his own bassist world and be-bopping around
Deacy is like jaming in my backyard shorts... Love you deacon
His legs should be a religion or something
Yes!! I worship at this shrine daily.
john's outfits are always the best
I am so glad this is on my recommendation
John is masterful with bass, energy, talent and humility.
“GO JOHNY GO”
I LOVE YOU JOHN DEACON
So what- he plays and he is there just as we want him to be.Jump and dances and hip hop in his cute mini pants. Love it.
El mejor bajista del mundo 🙌🏻
Дааа... Ребята не халтурили!!!
Гениальная группа!... Неповторимая

@@jondunmore4268 let you off then lol
This is brilliant. You only ever get quick glimpses of John. Great to see his at work over a whole song.
This song is often overlooked, but it's one of the best straightforward rockers in their catalog.
Johnny can take it seriously with his hair and clothing in a performance.
Around 2:08 he broke his first pick, then pulled one from behind his left ear.
Then he broke two more lol
A part of Deaky died when Freddie passed away. So so sad 😭😭
😥😥😢😢
I love his eargasm face oh i love John Deacon.
John’s the best and my favorite (and Freddie).

4 genius. One of them was John Deacon : the SECRET WEAPON !
He seems so outgoing and rockin' here. Even though he was a Quiet, secluded, introverted, non attention seeking person.
Мне нравится когда Джон в шортиках!👍💥 Берет пример с Фреддика!♥️👌👏💋

🎉 Happy Birthday John 🎉
I never noticed John was so animated -or that he’d ever played with a pick.
Deacon is all about the music; totally caught up in the music being presented.
Did he just break two picks at the end
*he did oh my god*
He looked so pretty doing it too 😭
Indeed
I didn't even notice, I was too busy looking at his hair 😆
This man is jamming tf out and its absolutely amazing. Look at him go!!! WOOP!!
I love our John Deacon.. loved looking at at him bouncing around in his shorts.. There was time when he would look like he was going to fall but he kept in" Rockin"..,He was a little doll...
A lot of people agree w/me that this video coverage is the BEST angle to catch the concert. So good 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I like John Deacon, his so cute, neat n clean and seems a quiet guy and a A class! and of course terrific guitarist.
First of all Deaky can pull of short shorts better than me. Second of all Deaky has better legs than me. Lastly Deaky can dance better than me. I am jealous especially since I am a girl.
I love 💘 the song John wrote called One Year In Love & its one of my all time favorites. EVER!!!
Everyone waiting for Christmas and me waiting for John to come back 💔
Such an awesome video showcasing Deacy with his cute little shorty shorts! Nice legs, a damn fine bassist! ;)
Deacy is so adorable and precious. I can’t help falling in love with him. I like his vibe when he performed on stage, so I call him The Dancing Queen.
