If you really want to see Freddie's stage presence on it's full glory, you need to do the Live Aid concert! It's only 20 minutes but it really showcases Queen and Freddie's live performance on their full potential. It is considered one of the greatest performances of all time by any band.
@@Bandanko Em, no, it was not his last concert by any means, they did minimum 26 more concerts ( The Magic tour), being the final concert in Knebworth.
Live Aid will show you the incredible influence of Freddie with crowds, that audience was there for Live Aid, many bands playing for twenty minutes each on two continents, 10 satellites, 1 billion people watching, this in 1985!! Queen stole the show, Ay-Oh (a big hint for performance greatness) is known as the sound heard around the world!! Don't miss this, it's iconic!! ❤ Love you guys, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John!!! ❤
George and Ryan, You want to see Freddie in full stage presence watch the 18 video of Queen from Live Aid in 1985. One of the greatest live performances ever in rock history.
So sad he passed so young. What a talent. The whole band was brilliant, but Freddie was something really special. Like Ella, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and Karen Carpenter, these "voices" come along only once in a long, long time. There are many great singers, but these artists were in their own league.
there will only ever be one freddie. there may be others with similar ability... but freddie was, as george said, one in a lifetime. a star. the fact that him and david bowie were on planet earth at the same time... what a blessing to humanity.
Queen is my favorite band, and I don't say that lightly. Queen is my favorite band. One of the things that made them so incredible was that every band member wrote songs for Queen, which is why you get so many different kinds of songs from them.
Friend of mine said he saw Queen in a small venue in Washington State while they were on their rise. He said it was the best live performance he’d ever seen, said Freddie was incredible to see in person.
Cool, each member had they're own unique 'engine', they were the first band to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame, all members had hit songs. Seen them live in 84 RDS Dublin, man oh man, something to behold.
Love Queen! As others have suggested, Somebody to Love (live in Montreal, 1981) and Queen's set from the Live Aid concert from 1985. Incredible performances! 💖😎
Bob Marley and the wailers, Queen, and Daft punk are performers that I know would give me chills up and down my spine if I had an opportunity to watch them live.
For people who dont know of queen all that well.. or didnt realize that queen did this song or that(i was one) and then you start going down the rabbit hole and seeing this band in all its glory .. they have been an influence.. and will continue to do so!! HER MAJESTY…. QUEEN!!
One of those bands respected more retroactively than when they were actually together. Not that they weren't popular in their prime, but there were plenty of naysayers back then. Like John Travolta, they had a resurgence. For _Queen_ thanks to their _'Live Aid'_ performance!
So fun fact all four members write and have written #1 hits for the band. For instance the bassist John Deacon wrote Another One Bites The Dust. The guitarist Brian May who is also a rocket scientist and astrophysicist wrote We Will Rock You. His voice his actually my favorite. Listen to the Queen song All Dead All Dead or Sail Away Sweet Sister. Brian sings on those. Also Freddie was bisexual. The Queen song Love Of My Life is about his true love Mary Austin. Give them a listen.
Just want to share that my brother and I, along with a cousin and a good buddy got to see Queen live in Oakland, CA, with Freddie. We were blown away by his stage presence and the bands amazing show. We were fans from their early beginnings, before they went pop. We didn't care for the pop songs very much, but it helped bring them to the masses. This song "Don't Stop me now" was not a big pop hit here in the US, but man I remember thinking, one day, people will actually listen to this song, and it will inspire a lot of people. Funny almost 40 years later it's more popular now than it was when it came out. My young nieces and nephews have adopted this song as one of their favorite Queen songs. Last year 2 of them performed the song via Karaoke during a Christmas Gathering. I love hearing young kids listening and appreciating great music of yesterday. Thanks to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie that for me finally gave Freddie the world wide acclaim that was due to him.
This is my all time favorite Queen song, just because everything about it is so much fun! Listening to it always puts a smile on my face, no matter what else may be going on.
Simply the vocal Goat of all time. RJ Dio is in the same ballpark along with Michael but Freddie could go from Operatic to Heavy Rock without blinking.
Saw them live in 1978. One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen many. I was on the floor in the sixth row and for the encore we all walked up to the stage. I was 10 ft away from that man! High energy is what he was. And pure talent.
Also their lead guitarist Brian May is a very interesting unique character himself. PhD in astronomy among other accolades, and he and his dad actually built his first guitar.
My R&B a la Queen is a ballad from "Highlander" called ONE YEAR OF LOVE. Soars! For fun I love COOL CATS. You want a sampler shot of Queen LIVE, there's always LIVE AID 1985 (Global benefit concert for faminine in Ethiopia). Queen wasn't announced till late, but that didn't stop them from commanding right out of the gate.
I’ve been listening to Queen since the 1970’s and they just got better and better. Apart from Bohemian Rapsody, the Live Aid concert absolutely showcased their talent and Freddie’s vocal brilliance
FYI - Freddie had an intriguing physical phenomenon called subharmonics that he used to drive his vocals to the limit. Subharmonic is a form of singing where the vocal folds vibrate along with a pair of tissue structures called ventricular folds. This form of singing is only used by Tuvan throat singers of Mongolia, except in a more extreme way. Also, Freddie’s vocal cords vibrated at 7.04 Hz - higher than a typical vibrato range of 5.4 Hz to 6.0 Hz. To put it more scientifically, the famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti produced a perfect sine wave for vibrato when he sang - a value of 1. Freddie, on the other hand, averaged a value of 0.57 - which means he was vibrating something in his throat even Pavarotti couldn’t move.
I second any and all comments on doing a Queen live aid reaction. You will have never seen any performance where the frontman has absolute control over a whole stadium. He's without doubt the greatest frontman there's ever been. Even when he met the band as they were looking for a singer he told them "I'm going to be a legend."
It's great seeing you guys smiling throughout that video. I'm pretty sure that's exactly how Freddie Mercury and Queen would want you to respond to this song. Just a good fun rock n roll pop song. Good pick for a reaction.
Live aid ‘85. Queen owned the stage. I was there and there were many excellent performances at Wembley on that boiling hot day,the who,status quo etc but Freddie and the boys nailed it.
All of Queen's Live Aid performance was soooo gooood!!! Queen apparently was not scheduled to appear at Live Aid but they were called at the last minute to fill a vacant spot, may have been a group that no-showed. Freddie apparently also had a high fever during the whole performance but you couldn't tell! What a legendary band and Live Aid performance!!!
That Gap Band reference just cracked me up! You guys are the best man...us rock music fans, and I'm sure a lot of us appreciate you guys. It sparks new interest in the music that we grew up with in the 70s and 80s...Keep the faith!
I absolutely LOVE Queen .. and I used to love this song ... till I heard Brian May saying he didn't want to release it because of what it was actually about .. It has a darker meaning ..
You are just scratching the surface. Brian May is one of the best rock guitarists of all time. Many guitarists including those in later heavy metal bands were influenced by May whose heavier sound soars throughout their Live at the Rainbow set. Roger Taylor's vocal range (the drummer) matches that of Mercury and really supported Freddie's voice during Live Concerts. Taylor and John Deacon on drums and bass glued everything together. Obviously, you are not deep into their catalogue, but they are all amazing musicians and songwriters. Only band that all 4 members wrote number 1 hits. Take a listen to some of the Live at the Rainbow set and you will get a deeper appreciation of how each member makes the others better. They always said the sum of the band was greater than each member alone (solo projects, etc.).
"I won't be a rock star. I'll be a legend." ~ Freddie Mercury ~ I saw Queen and Freddie in all his glory Nov 24, 1981 in Montreal. An unforgettable concert.
This is my fave Queen song ... just love it, reminds me of my teens, when we were all having such a good time! We miss you so much, Fred, you were never boring xxx
Freddie loved everybody and shared his love of life with everybody. He was an awesome person with a wonderful heart. That is a goal we should all strive for! Rock on!!!!
100% with you. I'm surprised actually that it was held in such high regard by the patreon community. It's not my favorite Queen song, it's not even in my top 10. But it's fine, and one of my buddies really likes it so, there's worse songs out there I suppose lol.
You guys should explore some of Freddie’s “vocals only” tracks. His voice takes your breath away. There’s a version of this song that’s his vocals only, also Somebody to Love is a great one.
Trust…live was MAGIC! Five concerts with Freddie on lead. All at Oakland Coliseum. Had our Union Jack out (general seating in the day). Bunch of fellow Brits told us to come to their section (we did). Had closer seats. When the encores were happening and they played God Save The Queen, the band saw our section and our HUUUUGE British flag, they all pointed and came over to our side and bowed to us. Awesome.
Absolutely one of the best bands ever, Queens legendary live performances were absolutely amazing and Freddie’s flamboyant performances were outstanding he always played to the crowds and had them in the palm of his hand , All the members of Queen have written No 1 hits , and Queens greatest hits is still the best selling album of all time in 🇬🇧 Uk , Queen have sold over 300 million albums worldwide,Michael Jackson was a Queen fan and it wasn’t unusual to see him attending a Queen concert, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson did a couple of duets together in Michaels studio, but one day Freddie said I cannot work with Michael again, asked why Freddie replied Jackson insisted on bringing his pet Lama into the studio, check out Queens Live Aid performance, classed as the greatest live performance of a band , were they stole the show from 20 other famous artists who also played that day at Wembley Stadium 1985 , great reaction thanks !
I've been to so many concerts and Queen was undoubtedly the best stage show. Freddie was unmatched and probably always will be. Nothing made me sadder than his death, and I can only imagine what he would have been had we not lost him so soon.
I LOVE watching people experience Queen, ESPECIALLY “Don’t Stop Me Now!” This, “Somebody To Love,” and “Under Pressure” always bring me to happy tears 🥹 Much love, guys!
I would've thought the absolute groove of not only the bass, but also the piano would've had this make both of your playlists. This song is absolutely in my top 5 Queen songs of all time, along with Seven Seas of Rhye (again, amazing piano work in that one.) I don't think either of these are in their "mainstream top 10 hits" though. Definitely not Seven Seas, *maybe* Don't Stop Me Now might hit #10, but it's generally not in their top 5 radio hits. I don't care so much about "top playlists" anymore at my age (mid 40's) - I love Queen for who they are and I've been listening to their music since I was a little kid. My first song of theirs that I remember loving was "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." I didn't hear Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time until the mid-late 80's, then I saw it became HUGE when it was on the soundtrack for Wayne's World, and everyone in school was saying "Look at this amazing new Queen song!" ... that came out in the mid 70's. Awesome reaction as always guys, even if I love it more than you do :)
Queen is a very talented and diversified band. It is not surprising that they have influenced people across genres. Another one Bites the Dust was the first record l ever bought, Queen will always hold a special place in my heart. The best live performance by them is the 1985 live aid show. The best live performance by any band.
Based on a scientific study, this song was named the Happiest song on earth. I agree with this, as you cannot listen to this song without smiling and moving. Certainly a great song to start the day. Enjoyed your reaction! For an early Queen song,please consider Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.
You two are, without question, the most articulate reaction duo. I’ve seen hundreds, but when you feature a song/artist I’m interested in I look forward to clicking play.
Queen was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen and I didn’t even get to see Freddie. I can’t imagine how it would’ve felt to see them in their prime with Freddie.
Freddie's fashion sense comes from his education. Freddie had a degree in Graphic Design, Fashion and Advertising. He felt that Queen needed to have an image that would make people interested in them, even before they saw the show. This is my feel good song. If I am having a bad day or I wake up grumpy, I play this song and my mood changes. This is an absolute mood elevator. Thank you for your reaction. If you want to see a completely different side of Freddie but one that shows his outstanding vocal abilities and piano skills, along with Dr. Brian May's (PhD in Astrophysics) unbelievable guitar skills and flat out just lets you see the talent of all four members of this group, you need to react to Queen: White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith, Dec. 24, 1975. It is so hard to believe it is live and no auto tune back then either. It is perfect! In my opinion, it is one of the most incredible live performances ever, by any band.
They had a Queen musical in Vegas for a while. It was called "We Will Rock You". I saw it years ago and it featured tons of Queen's music and was written by guys in the band.
Just a heads up. This is an older early access Patreon video from 3 YEARS AGO guys. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
Gotta do early queen. Fantastic stuff over shadowed by there radio hits. Fairy King and March Of The Black Queen.
3 years ago and ya'll still looking fly! Been on this channel for years, thanks for all the content guys!
Early Access means EARLY ACCESS, huh? 😅
Please reaction on sidhu Moosewala song Calaboose ❤️🔥👑❤️🔥👑👑👑
You seen the queen movie. Great film
Freddie was always in his prime
That's a FACT!
🙌 Amen!
FACT
No doubt!
Freddie was prime
The University of Missouri in 2016 did a study and declared this to be the happiest song ever written.....for real.
I believe it. I challenge anyone to be unhappy around Freddie.
Scientifically proven to be the happiest song ever written.
Released in 1978 ..
If you really want to see Freddie's stage presence on it's full glory, you need to do the Live Aid concert! It's only 20 minutes but it really showcases Queen and Freddie's live performance on their full potential.
It is considered one of the greatest performances of all time by any band.
the best live performance of all time.
@@terrydavis7389 Not even Queen´s best peformance.
@@celtasnake I agree, I like the show in Montreal better, longer set
its considered the best because it was his last... it's good but it's not that good - MASSIVE Queen fan here... :)
@@Bandanko Em, no, it was not his last concert by any means, they did minimum 26 more concerts ( The Magic tour), being the final concert in Knebworth.
Live Aid will show you the incredible influence of Freddie with crowds, that audience was there for Live Aid, many bands playing for twenty minutes each on two continents, 10 satellites, 1 billion people watching, this in 1985!! Queen stole the show,
Ay-Oh (a big hint for performance greatness) is known as the sound heard around the world!! Don't miss this, it's iconic!! ❤ Love you guys, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John!!! ❤
"Don't Stop Me Now" was voted the happiest song of all time.
It’s my ringtone ❤️
There's not many bands that put a smile on your face like Queen does. They appeal to all walks of life.
Why does your comment say 3 years ago?
@@spiritual9574 Time travel.
🧐
Except for homophobic, hateful people
He's the greatest front man in the history of rock and roll!
A definite tie in my opinion baba
It’s so hard to pick my favorite, but Freddy is in the top 3. Fantastic.
This song is legit an anti-depression therapy for me. Blast it and force myself to sing along. It never fails to lift my mood.
This is one of the most motivational songs in human history. I've heard it hundreds of times and get goosebumps every single time I hear it.
Agree 100 %. Gotta be careful when you go for a run. I always tend to overpace when listening to that song lol
George and Ryan,
You want to see Freddie in full stage presence watch the 18 video of Queen from Live Aid in 1985. One of the greatest live performances ever in rock history.
Guys, LIVE AID '85!
20 Minutes of pure Magic! The highpoint of their career and one of the best performances ever.
Freddie was always in his prime..his prime never left...
You should really do the live aid concert :)
YESSS! The greatest performance ever!!
Agree here!!! Freddy Mercury at his best!
Please please please watch it his total best
That performance was so amazing
Yess! And watch the movie!!!
Watch the Live Aid performance! It’s 18 minutes long, and they cover a range of their catalog and showcase their diversity!
So sad he passed so young. What a talent. The whole band was brilliant, but Freddie was something really special. Like Ella, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and Karen Carpenter, these "voices" come along only once in a long, long time. There are many great singers, but these artists were in their own league.
Freddie had the most amazing voice,gives me chills.
there will only ever be one freddie. there may be others with similar ability... but freddie was, as george said, one in a lifetime. a star. the fact that him and david bowie were on planet earth at the same time... what a blessing to humanity.
Please do the whole Queen portion of Live Aid! It is the most amazing live performance ever!
Freddie was the best! Could sing any style from opera to metal.
Queen is my favorite band, and I don't say that lightly. Queen is my favorite band. One of the things that made them so incredible was that every band member wrote songs for Queen, which is why you get so many different kinds of songs from them.
Also, the Prince comparison is dead-on.
The two best examples of his spectacular stage presence were their show in Montreal, and at Live Aid.
and live at wembley 86 and rock in rio 85 crowd of 250k
Friend of mine said he saw Queen in a small venue in Washington State while they were on their rise. He said it was the best live performance he’d ever seen, said Freddie was incredible to see in person.
The use of this song in the movie “Shaun Of The Dead” is absolutely perfect & completely hilarious 👍
Kill The Queen! What? The JUKEBOX!!
Such an amazing movie and such a great song choice for the scene!
I believe this song is also currently being used in a Toyota commercial.
"Kill the Queen!"
"What!?"
@@petercolson2990 "who put this on"
Have to do “Somebody to Love” live in Montreal. I swear it is one of the greatest live performances EVER! It is a MUST see.
Absolutely!! It showcases Freddie’s brilliance
Cool, each member had they're own unique 'engine', they were the first band to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame, all members had hit songs.
Seen them live in 84 RDS Dublin, man oh man, something to behold.
I was blessed to have seen Queen twice in concert. Incredibly amazing shows. Mr. Mercury was phenomenal and we’ll never have another prize like him!
Love Queen! As others have suggested, Somebody to Love (live in Montreal, 1981) and Queen's set from the Live Aid concert from 1985. Incredible performances! 💖😎
Queen IS a crown jewel in music. Doesn't have to be playlist. It's still damn good.
Freddie owned any stage he stood on! Heck, he owned any space he stood in. One of a kind, that's for sure.
Queen at Live Aid 1985, 20 minutes of pure fire 🔥 , one you simply have to watch.
Bob Marley and the wailers, Queen, and Daft punk are performers that I know would give me chills up and down my spine if I had an opportunity to watch them live.
Somebody To Love has to be next on your Queen list. Many people like the live version but I prefer the studio.
Most of QUEENS BIGGEST SONGs are from the 70s Dont stop me now Came out in 1978
For people who dont know of queen all that well.. or didnt realize that queen did this song or that(i was one) and then you start going down the rabbit hole and seeing this band in all its glory .. they have been an influence.. and will continue to do so!! HER MAJESTY…. QUEEN!!

So fun fact all four members write and have written #1 hits for the band. For instance the bassist John Deacon wrote Another One Bites The Dust.

Listen to the Queen song All Dead All Dead or Sail Away Sweet Sister. Brian sings on those. Also Freddie was bisexual. The Queen song Love Of My Life is about his true love Mary Austin.

Queen’s “Somebody to Love” video live in Montreal ‘81 is incredible. That is a must watch. Long runs, y’all would really enjoy it!!
Also their lead guitarist Brian May is a very interesting unique character himself. PhD in astronomy among other accolades, and he and his dad actually built his first guitar.

Dragon Attack is one of John Deacons best bass lines.

That Jazz album cover to cover is by far my fave. So good
Freddie is and always will be the most amazing front man ever. He was a showman and had the most amazing voice.
Live aid ‘85.
Queen owned the stage.
I was there and there were many excellent performances at Wembley on that boiling hot day,the who,status quo etc but Freddie and the boys nailed it.

Would love to see them react to Queen's "Innuendo" since it has such a different vibe but is still an awesome song.
thanks guys -check out Queen live at Wembley - over 80,000 in attendance from 1986. You won't be disappointed.
Seen this and it was an automatic thumbs up
That shit live WAS incredible! I saw Queen in concert in the 80’s in West Germany.
"I won't be a rock star. I'll be a legend." ~ Freddie Mercury ~ I saw Queen and Freddie in all his glory Nov 24, 1981 in Montreal. An unforgettable concert.

Yup, its the Live Aid concert you should watch. Its Unbelievable.
I don't think I ever clicked on one of your videos this quickly. This is one of my favorite songs ever. :)
Freddie loved everybody and shared his love of life with everybody. He was an awesome person with a wonderful heart. That is a goal we should all strive for! Rock on!!!!
I enjoy Queen, but I prefer the Queen songs that rock harder than this one. But, they were all talented and made such great music.
100% with you. I'm surprised actually that it was held in such high regard by the patreon community. It's not my favorite Queen song, it's not even in my top 10. But it's fine, and one of my buddies really likes it so, there's worse songs out there I suppose lol.
I think this goes on like a - mopping the kitchen - type playlist, singing and goofing while doing chores
I enjoyed your reactions. And yes, you definitely need to check them out live because it's a whole new level.
Queen did/still have a musical based on them called We Will Rock You
I’m new to your channel. I love that you did more research about Freddie. That tells me that you are honest about liking/loving their music.
Extremely versatile no song sounds the same

My first song of theirs that I remember loving was "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." I didn't hear Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time until the mid-late 80's, then I saw it became HUGE when it was on the soundtrack for Wayne's World, and everyone in school was saying "Look at this amazing new Queen song!" ... that came out in the mid 70's.
Awesome reaction as always guys, even if I love it more than you do :)
My first concert ever. Nobody comes close!! It was an amazing show!!!
Queen is a very talented and diversified band. It is not surprising that they have influenced people across genres. Another one Bites the Dust was the first record l ever bought, Queen will always hold a special place in my heart. The best live performance by them is the 1985 live aid show. The best live performance by any band.
Freddie Mercury - The ultimate GOAT of frontmen and as a lead vocalist, you can disagree, but you'd be wrong, simple as !!! Goodnight
Based on a scientific study, this song was named the Happiest song on earth. I agree with this, as you cannot listen to this song without smiling and moving. Certainly a great song to start the day. Enjoyed your reaction! For an early Queen song,please consider Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.
I heard it was Mr. Blue Sky by ELO that was named happiest song ever
I’m sure many comments about live aid performance but it is a must watch
You two are, without question, the most articulate reaction duo. I’ve seen hundreds, but when you feature a song/artist I’m interested in I look forward to clicking play.
This will pop in your head when you least expect it, especially when driving!
Your reactions to Queen has become our new obsession!
Live Aid....Live Aid
1985
Best Live PERFORMANCE EVER!!!!
Love Queen, this is a fantastic song and performance.
Simply the best live performer ever. Freddie will never be repeated again ever.
you should check him out singing Barcelona that is when you see him not in his natural environment.... but he still kills it
Queen was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen and I didn’t even get to see Freddie. I can’t imagine how it would’ve felt to see them in their prime with Freddie.
Absolutely AWESOME reaction, guys! Y'all hit the nail on the head with your assessment of Freddie. He had pure showmanship and was full of life!
Freddie's fashion sense comes from his education. Freddie had a degree in Graphic Design, Fashion and Advertising. He felt that Queen needed to have an image that would make people interested in them, even before they saw the show. This is my feel good song. If I am having a bad day or I wake up grumpy, I play this song and my mood changes. This is an absolute mood elevator. Thank you for your reaction. If you want to see a completely different side of Freddie but one that shows his outstanding vocal abilities and piano skills, along with Dr. Brian May's (PhD in Astrophysics) unbelievable guitar skills and flat out just lets you see the talent of all four members of this group, you need to react to Queen: White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith, Dec. 24, 1975. It is so hard to believe it is live and no auto tune back then either. It is perfect! In my opinion, it is one of the most incredible live performances ever, by any band.
They had a Queen musical in Vegas for a while. It was called "We Will Rock You".
I saw it years ago and it featured tons of Queen's music and was written by guys in the band.
