Live Aid was billed as a Global Jukebox! 🤩 Simply put the planets, galaxy, & universe lined up for these “Princes of the Universe” on that hot summer day in July 1985. Brian revealed that Queen thought their performance was “kind of okay”. Elton John said “Freddie, nobody should go on after you - you were magnificent.” 😃Freddie replied “You’re absolutely right , darling, we were - we killed them.” NOTE: Elton once commented that Rod Stewart once discussed the possibility of forming a supergroup and calling it Nose, Teeth, & Hair (Elton, Fred, Rod).
Some days this concert makes me insanely happy and other times I ball my eyes out knowing he is gone. He brings out the best in everyone. RIP Freddie. ❤
Every but every single time I hear his voice I am close to tears. The world that day lost a once in a lifetime voice. A legend 💓 You should listen to a song called in my defense . That brought me to tears 😭
For my 80th birthday, my daughter made a cake with Freddie Mercury, drawn in icing on top, in a pose from Live Aid! My family knows I love him. Great reaction!
I rarely see this pointed out, but if you look at the end of the set, the yellow light in front of Freddie gives way to a red light that indicates when the power was to be cut and Queen end their set exactly when that light changes. I also read somewhere that Freddie's "Ayoo" interaction with the crowd was unrehearsed and had to be compensated for by cutting short another song (i am guessing "We will rock you") so that just shows how tight the band was in meeting unexpected changes on the fly. Truly the greatest ever!
I'm a 44 year old man and I've been a queen fan since I was a little kid. Every day I watch Queen videos and I have tears in my eyes... R.I.P Freddie Mercury 🙏 Greetings from Germany.
One of the all time greatest live performances. Summer 1985 I was 11 years old and Queen had the whole world under their spell. Mr Mercury is one of the all time greats. Flawless performance and the only bad thing was it had to end. Champions.
Was there and was not even a fan til we heard Freddie. We also saw them at Wembley in 86 (both shows!!). Freddie and band so energetic. Thought for sure they’d be touring for more years. So glad they’ve kept Freddie and Queen memory alive. Such a talented intelligent band. RIP Freddie….
I was lucky enough to attend Live Aid absolutely amazing performance not only Freddie but let’s pay tribute to the amazing rest of the band who always gel together they are amazing musicians! Best band ever., I’ve seen Queen concerts many times throughout the 70s and 80s !
Arguably THE best live rock performance EVER ! He had the Mic' in one hand and the audience the the palm of his other. There'll never be another front man to equal Freddie. R.I.P mate !
Fantastic performance, Freddie really goes all out and considering he had a throat infection and his doctor told him not to sing, he really stepped up his game. He later said that singing on that day felt like he was gargling with shattered glass. I love this show, I always feel like I am right there in the crowd. Thank you for your reaction.
Hi Psyche, yes started with a bang and never let up. My favourite Queen concert, always brings a tear with that outstanding performance and Freddie's passing. Just had my birthday, turned 65 and never get tired of watching. Each song stands alone but all together...speechless. Fantastic to see you finally experiencing this performance and I get to watch with you. Hope you get well soon Psyche, cheers Rich
@@psycheinc-theSLC Wow!!, I commented on that beautiful, thoughtful video you gifted to me. This is why I am subscribed to your channel. You care about people and you show it. When I get in a more positive financial situation, I will be buying you a coffee, the first of many. Much love, Rich
What an excellent choice this was, Psyche. I had seen bits and pieces but never watched all of that in one shot until now. And it seems to give even more goosebumps now because at the time, no one understood what was going on behind the scenes and that he would be leaving this world so soon.
Thanks so much for this! What a lovely treat to see this here today! Feeling a bit down today but this performance always perks me up! You're right, this was Freddie's day in the sun. Not only did Queen fans know he was the greatest performer ever but after this millions around the world knew. I'm glad he had this opportunity! He and the guys really deserved it! Hoping you're feeling better as well! Thanks again!
Good morning (it is here in the UK) - first Pamela- here is a 'virtual' bouquet of flowers from me to you to cheer you up and start your week full of positivity and love 💐x. I also say to people when they say what you have said to me "Even the longest day has to end" - so whatever it is my dear, just hang on tight and you will get through. Maybe that's why you are here, part of the SLC - as there will always be someone to reply, including myself as it is important for 'everyone' to be heard as long as it's respectful. Queen are indeed magical and that is why music is so important - because that is how we were brought together here - Thanks my dear Freddie in heaven 🙏🏽😘 - he and Queen brought you here, so you see, a bit of positivity there. Go forth into this week and know that you are 'liked' and 'loved' very much though we are humans are not too great in conveying our 'true' feelings. Well I'm pretty different....My fews weeks have been awful - I've just picked up Loulou my cat from the hospital as she had surgery last week on her back leg as she fell from a fence as a cat was chasing her and landed badly thus rupturing her knee - my heart is broken into pieces, but I'm holding on and sticking it all back together now (my heart) as she is back home now. It's just me and her and she is a rescue cat and already disabled. This is actually the first time I have written this, so I guess we are each other's Angels right now. Speak soon Pamela - all my love Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹❤️😘 x
I don't know if you will see this. My phone does not work very well and I never saw your message but went back to this reaction again because I enjoy your reactions so and just saw it! I must thank you for your uplifting words and thoughts and I'm sorry I never responded. I hope you and LuLu are doing well. I can understand how upset you must have been because I have my own rescue cats and I know it makes me so upset when something is wrong with them. My best wishes to you and little LuLu.
Your reaction was ABSOLUTELY REFRESHING! I think probably like 20 of these, to this show, and most of them are absolutely, to quote Simon Cowell... DREADFUL! It's great to see that you know the band and their songs, and how you were holding back your tears watching Freddie!!! Thank you!
Thank you John, I really appreciate that very much. Have a wonderful Thursday/Weekend. I've attached Queen's Playlist for you to enjoy in your own time! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Hope you get well. This is just an amazing concert session, love how you react. God it looks like the best time ever !!!! I have seen it a number of times...and half way thru was thinking...gee yer up for a great experience !!!
This was far and away the BEST Queen reaction I have ever seen. It was obvious you had an emotional response to it from the beginning. You were watching every movement and listening to every note intensely. And you didn't pause it 200 times. Well done! 😄
Thank you very much David - much appreciated. They are one of the most engaging Bands ever - never to be repeated! Have a wonderful weekend, keep safe, healthy and happy! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
The best live band full stop. It is obvious how well they rehearsed this. Bang on to the minute they worked that setlist out. So clever to start with Borap and Cray Little thing called love is so global, love how they made it live set favorate with the extra guitar work to get the crowd in the dancing mood. Pure professionals.
Oh less you Karl - thank you so much - I really do appreciate that very much. Here is Queen's/Freddie's Playlist on my channel should you wish to check it out in your own time. Thanks for being here and see you again soon. Have a great week too! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Hi Sandra - it wasn't part of the main set so not everyone would be aware - the reaction has been done - copyright was tough on this one which people don't appreciate.

Tonight you may be in for another ride: It is the 30th anniversary of the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert held at Wembley - of cause - on April 20th 1992. You can see it livestreamed ?? for 48 hours - check UA-cam or QueenOfficial - .It is in 5 hours - 8 p.m. in Denmark. There is lots of megastars - all singing Queen songs - . Check it out.
@@fernandopessoa7077 I think they advised him because with laryngitis would have been aggravated with singing and he would have been in such incredible pain but the fact he went out and still performed for such a great cause is amazing, will never have another Freddie.
Thank you very much Ryan, I appreciate that very much. Here is Queen's Playlist for you to enjoy when you have time. Have a safe and peaceful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Hey Psyche I watched this too absolutely amazing Queen live Freddy Mercury was amazing and Brian may on the guitar so cool and I love the drummer amazing 😎😎
Good reaction :) Best entertainer ever (i'll put him close with MJ), but he went farther, he had the best voice (still has to me :P), but he learned the piano and the guitar, that shows how comitted he was :) Not without saying as a band they're probably one of if not the best groups of musicians ever
Here is Queen's/Freddie's Playlist on my channel for you to enjoy when you have time 🌹 Freddie Mercury / Queen: ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Great reaction! Geldof has said that when trying to sign up Queen, he called Freddie and said “it’s the perfect stage for you…it’s the world.” Brian & Freddie come out for an encore with a song Geldof asked them to perform specifically. Is this the world we created. Just Brian, a 12 string & Freddie. Sometimes they give a hard time, but you could probably do the audio if you had to.
Thank you Lisa - Here is Queen's Playlist on my channel - enjoy - and Queen is coming out again at 18.00hrs UK time.ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html - Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️
Yo voy cumpliendo 60 así que ya sabras ,viví toda la época de Queen y ( entonces estaba joben claro 😊) y me enamoré de Freedy y recuerdo que me hacían burla porque me decían que era feo y me enojaba con ellas . La cuestión era su voz y toda su música 🎶 y para terminar pronto mis hijos aprendieron sus canciones e incluso uno de ellos tiene lo que es toda la colección de música y conciertos ! Yo lo sigo amando 😢😢 gracias por reaccionar a él mejor grupo de rock del mundo ❤
Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, attended by about 72,000 people and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, US, attended by 89,484 people. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.
They said that they couldn't hear one another on the stage, the sound quality was awful. But unlike some of the other acts, they had rigorously rehearsed their act to the second and you can see them using visual cues amongst themselves. Incredibly professional as well as an incredible performance. Freddie's voice was giving out near the end (he had been advised by his doctor not to perform) and you can hear Roger singing louder and louder trying to support him. Such a tight band.
What an astonishing performance. There will never be anyone on Freddie Mercury’s level. That guy was in stratosphere of his own. And what’s even crazier is that he had already been suffering from HIV for 3-4 years at this point, and nobody knew it, not even Freddie himself.
I just subbed your channel, Psyche.. I like your style. I have discovered that the newer reactors have started competing with the performers by singing into their cameras/phones while the video is playing and they are missing a whole other part of the performance. As someone said below, just watching your expressions as the music played/Freddie sang told us exactly how you were feeling about the performance. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Take care and be well. Peace.
❤ - just stunning. Thank you 'so' much for your appreciation. I'm older than most doing this so not trying to compete or perform. Some have lost their way and make it about them when it should be about what we're viewing. Thank you for being part of the SLC. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️ x
No puedo evitar seguir comentando ,en la última canción creo te paso lo que a mi ,una tristeza por ese cantante tan completo y encantador que ya no está con nosotros y lo perdimos tan joben . Yo siempre hago una oración en esos momentos 😢 ❤❤❤
Gracias por tu sentido comentario 🌹. Adjunté una lista de reproducción de Freddie/Queens en mi canal para que la disfrutes. También lancé mi video de su última canción 'Face It All Alone' que también está en la lista de reproducción, así que disfruten. ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Interesting to know before Queen came on the telephones were very quiet after Queen left the stage the telephones went absolutely mad . Also remember this was not a Queen audience but we all knew the part . Also they were sound limiters the manager switched off which meant Queen we're louder than anyone else ,and Freddie was advised not to sing by his Doctors. Its just a masterclass by Queen I've seen it many , many times over the years and still just amazing to watch . We never see his like again and as long as people listen to music Queen will live forever.
I LOOoooved! Your reaction! This makes me emotional Every time I see it! Not for nothing but Knowing his Lyrics it’s worth a 2nd watch for people to actually hear and understand the lyrics they resonate with ALL PEOPLE so basic and pure and true. Unbelievable that they were performing last minute and Freddy against doctors advice with a walloping throat infection and they brought in over $1,000,000 pounds that day for live aid!! More than all the others combined for the 1st 6 hrs of that benefit show! His last concert was best before he had to stop performing live (bloody AIDS anyways💔 TRAGIC!) It was called SIMPLY Live At Wembley I’d like to close with this…. Before Micheal Jackson (who was just as brilliant) there was Freddy Mercury and Queen!!
I don't usually do this, but I have been drawn to say this for a while now : I definitely love your hair like this. I know it is completely off topic and irrelevant, but it had to go out for some reason. Oh, and it was really nice listening to some Queen by your side. Note that you cut yourself a bit short at the end. Anyhow, happy Easter, hoping you are doing fine these days 🥰
Hello mat dear M what a beautiful and kind comment - thank you so much. Yes, curly big hair, easier to manage so leaving it, less work 😂🤦🏽♀️. Queen was good and yes, it cut off. When I was trying to download it over from iMovie to YT it wouldn't take it - it took about 12 goes before it decided to accept it. I understand that there as glitches sometimes as YT are trying to support millions of people, so it's ok - the main content was there! I'm much better but other things to sort 😞, but I keep shuffling! Hope you had a lovely Easter M and that it was lovely, peaceful and just how you would wish it to be and more! 🙋🏽♀️❤️x
Psyche Honey, I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been well.... I HOPE you're getting better now? And I hope being under the weather didn't spoil your Easter! Just so you know, Hon: At the end of that day during the closing numbers, Freddie & Brian had been asked ahead of time to take part and do an ENCORE; they performed: "IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED?" You NEED to see it to make your Live Aid experience complete! (I don't mean having to do a reaction - unless you chose to do so, of course... just watch it for your own enjoyment: ua-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/v-deo.html I know everryyyone is going to tell you: Freddie had a throat infection and his Dr. didn't want him to perform, because it might injure his throat. When Fred got done with this set, he said his throat felt like he'd been "gargling with shards of glass" (his words). Every time I watch this performance (which is about once a week!) ...I always think about this: Freddie had begun a relationship with Jim Hutton earlier that year... (Next time you see pictures of Fred at Live Aid or anytime after, you'll notice he's wearing what resembles a wedding band on his RIGHT ring finger... because at this time, Gay Marriage was illegal.) But when they first met and first dated, Jim had NO IDEA who Freddie was. (I think that's why Fred was initially drawn to Jim, because he didn't need to worry if Jim's interest in him was just for his fame and money.) And, up until the day of Live Aid... Jim had still NEVER EVER seen Freddie and the band perform. So... Freddie invited Jim to come along with him on this day to see the band play, but ALL that cad Fred told Jim was that the band was going to perform at a charity show. THAT'S IT. (Naughty Freddie!) Poor Jim said he was "GOBSMACKED... I just followed him around all day like a puppy." (He also said that while Queen were onstage performing, he was watching on one of the screens backstage and thinking proudly "That's my guy!") I really hope you're feeling better, Psyche... You're looking BEAUTIFUL. (And I still LOVE those natural curls!) -Marcella
Hello my dear Marcella - goodness I so love reading your comments - I just follow everything in my mind - it's a like a glorious book that you don't want to put down! Thank you for all of it. Live Aid is real tough to show copyright wise - the song is beautiful! Thank you for the back story - oooh can you imagine - "like gargling with shards of glass" geez that must have had a pain level off the planet - and having a sore throat and being a vocalist is beyond dreadful - but with all the adrenaline running and his sheer determination he performed the Masterpiece of the who event! And when you look at his demeanour and how he carried himself through his tough illness, he held himself like a true Queen/King - DIGNIFIED all the way to the end. An absolute credit to the human race - pity more don't follow in his footsteps! I better now, thank goodness - it was quite a journey, but other things have taken over to sort - I will let you know in due course. Anyhow I hope you had a marvellous Easter - keep safe, happy, healthy and never change - you are one of the nicest people to have come across my path - for that I am truly grateful Marcella. All my love - Psyche ❤️xx
After Queen's set David Bowie had the unenviable task of following Queen and he exclaimed to Freddie How the f#$k am I supposed to follow that Freddie replied I Fu#$ing killed it
@@Ati-MarcusS Have a great, safe and productive Thursday/weekend Marcus. Also attached is Freddie 's/Queen's Playlist on my channel so check it out when you have time. Enjoy. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️ 🤗 🌹 Freddie Mercury / Queen: ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
The introduction to this is great. Too bad you didn’t open with it! I wonder how many of the Queen Live Aid react videos have seen the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” before watching this!
...and if you bothered to look at the videos/playlists on my channel you would have seen that I did it. People are so quick to criticise without looking first especially when they're not the ones doing the work. Also anyone could miss it as it was on at a different time especially if one isn't a Queen fan.
To give people some idea just now good queen was that day, the legendary David Bowie who was on next after queen was heard by a reporter to exclaim "how the fuck am I supposed to follow that?"
Forgive me but I'm confused. At 00:30 you say that the only person you actually saw, 'because you were really busy that day' was Madonna. To have had any appreciation of what went on on that day, almost 37 years ago, you would have to have been at least 10 years old and I'm sure you don't look a day over 35, let alone 47! People would pay to go along and do all the singing themselves - as long as Freddie was there to conduct them! Only a band like Queen could get away with performing a self-penned song called 'We Are The Champions'!
Hello Ray - I love your comments 😂🤦🏽♀️. And yes, you are absolutely correct in fact I'm a little older, not much but proud of it! I'm up against the younger You Tubers and people like us are not catered for, so I'm changing that, plus my SLC family is growing with younger viewers who have intelligence, taste and a sense of wanting to learn about things years ago, thus sewing it into their lives, which can only create a better existence, rather than junk food for their brains which seems to be how life is going - such a shame. Talent like Queen will never be seen again, as everyone wants quick wins without the hard work so their sustainability is non-existent. 15 minutes then 'next'! Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC Good for you and your championing of the mid-lifers and it's good to see that you're attracting a younger audience too. Keep up the good work. My weekend is going well so far. Hope yours is too.
Thanks, Psyche! extraordinary performance as always.. don't know if anyone else sent you a link to the "encore" by Freddie & Brian, but it was awesome... (originally, there were technical problems, so this is the cleaned up version).. quite apropos... ua-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/v-deo.html

@@psycheinc-theSLC Thank you! Can I recommend a song that I'm also certain you have not seen? This is Brian May.. solo... song has been around for a bit, but the video is new, so that's why it's making "waves" now.. such an amazing man... "Another World" ua-cam.com/video/rJI_CkHJ9Z0/v-deo.html.. he also recorded it en espanol... just.....
@@GinMae I don't take requests I'm afraid as I don't get paid for that and give a lot of free time already. Also my playlist is already very very long. As you can imagine I get many recommendations which cannot be met as they run in the 1000s but thank you. I will try and watch in my free time, when I get it - and I did hear about it. How strange, I'm contacting Brian soon - weird timing. A bit like you, busy bouncing everywhere but still giving my time to this - which is a tremendous amount of work but it's good and I've learnt a lot, and met lot of niec people who are loyal and die-hard fans. My editing skill have increased too 🤦🏽♀️!. Just got word from YT that I've hit 2 million views, not bad for an older woman! Have a great weekend.

I must thank you for your uplifting words and thoughts and I'm sorry I never responded. I hope you and LuLu are doing well. I can understand how upset you must have been because I have my own rescue cats and I know it makes me so upset when something is wrong with them. My best wishes to you and little LuLu.
I'm so sorry I think I spelled her name wrong! LouLou!
Your reaction was ABSOLUTELY REFRESHING! I think probably like 20 of these, to this show, and most of them are absolutely, to quote Simon Cowell... DREADFUL! It's great to see that you know the band and their songs, and how you were holding back your tears watching Freddie!!! Thank you!
Freddie king of rock 🤘 alltime
music fantastic, his moves phenominal!!
Excellent reaction, my dear.
You really know what it's all about.
Thank you John, I really appreciate that very much. Have a wonderful Thursday/Weekend. I've attached Queen's Playlist for you to enjoy in your own time! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Both Freddie and the band are legendary rest in peace Freddie
Hope you get well. This is just an amazing concert session, love how you react. God it looks like the best time ever !!!! I have seen it a number of times...and half way thru was thinking...gee yer up for a great experience !!!
Nice comment Ken made me smile 🙋🏽♀️🤗🌹
This was far and away the BEST Queen reaction I have ever seen. It was obvious you had an emotional response to it from the beginning. You were watching every movement and listening to every note intensely. And you didn't pause it 200 times. Well done! 😄
Thank you very much David - much appreciated. They are one of the most engaging Bands ever - never to be repeated! Have a wonderful weekend, keep safe, healthy and happy! Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️✨
I love you mostly because Queen makes you cry.
☺️🌹
The best live band full stop. It is obvious how well they rehearsed this. Bang on to the minute they worked that setlist out. So clever to start with Borap and Cray Little thing called love is so global, love how they made it live set favorate with the extra guitar work to get the crowd in the dancing mood. Pure professionals.
100% 🌹
I disagree Zepellin are/were better than any band live.
Amazing reaction! You are amazing!
Oh less you Karl - thank you so much - I really do appreciate that very much. Here is Queen's/Freddie's Playlist on my channel should you wish to check it out in your own time. Thanks for being here and see you again soon. Have a great week too! Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Freddie had a bad throat and was told by the doctor not to perform. However, he did and the rest is history.
i hope this version includes them closing the show singing Is this the World we Created. So very apt.
Hi Sandra - it wasn't part of the main set so not everyone would be aware - the reaction has been done - copyright was tough on this one which people don't appreciate. Here is Queen's/Freddie's Playlist on my channel with the closing song you mention. 🌹ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html

Getting emotional there. I don't blame you! You hit the nail on the head. Absolutely a time to remember.
🌹
Freddie Mercury was a true showman and never got to reach his full potential
His potential was phenomenal and there from the first time they formed the band, he reached his potential every single time he sang live
God shows his grace to us in fleets big moments, but this was 20+ minutes of his talent on display.
I love this comment ❤
U guys were always a class act. U knew when a star must shine. 💖
100% Kimberley 🌹
True fact, Freddie was unwell with Laryngitis during this show, doctors told him not to perform but he rejected the advice and still performed
Bollocks to not performing, slam a few pints down your neck and get out there…
@@fernandopessoa7077 I think they advised him because with laryngitis would have been aggravated with singing and he would have been in such incredible pain but the fact he went out and still performed for such a great cause is amazing, will never have another Freddie.
Fantastic Queen ,I wish you an Easter of Love, concert this legendary Queen. 🏳️🌈🕊🏳️🌈☮️🇮🇹🌹🐣🐣🐣
🙋🏽♀️🌹✨x
Great reaction beautiful lady hope you feel better
Hi Dave yes Im good yo go now but my poor Loulou cat is poorly. She is a disabled cat that I adopted. She has surgery tomorrow. Heartbroken 😪🙈
Queen basically said, we have 20 minutes, how much can we shoehorn into that…. everyone else just turned up, queen put on a show…
I love this comment ❤
They rehearsed for two weeks to ensure they could get the max into that 20mins.
All the other performers pretty much winged it .
I love your honest and pure reaction! ❤
Thank you very much Ryan, I appreciate that very much. Here is Queen's Playlist for you to enjoy when you have time. Have a safe and peaceful Sunday. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html

Beautiful
And the reaction as well ☺️
Thank you on both counts Barry 🙋🏽♀️✨🌹
Hey Psyche I watched this too absolutely amazing Queen live Freddy Mercury was amazing and Brian may on the guitar so cool and I love the drummer amazing 😎😎
💃🕺🙋🏽♀️🤗🎸
Good reaction :) Best entertainer ever (i'll put him close with MJ), but he went farther, he had the best voice (still has to me :P), but he learned the piano and the guitar, that shows how comitted he was :) Not without saying as a band they're probably one of if not the best groups of musicians ever
He was sick at this point. it’s amazing how he performed and died 6 years later. RIP
🌹🙏🕊
Just two days after this concert, I was told he found out he had aids. Very sad, always in our hearts.
Freddy is so very missed 😢
Every time i watch this its just like Wow
Freedie a showman love him queen a true band xx

BLESS you and LOVE you
Great reaction! Geldof has said that when trying to sign up Queen, he called Freddie and said “it’s the perfect stage for you…it’s the world.”
Brian & Freddie come out for an encore with a song Geldof asked them to perform specifically. Is this the world we created. Just Brian, a 12 string & Freddie.
Sometimes they give a hard time, but you could probably do the audio if you had to.
Wow 🥰 loved your reaction liked already subscribed 😁 more queen reactions please 😍❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
Thank you Lisa - Here is Queen's Playlist on my channel - enjoy - and Queen is coming out again at 18.00hrs UK time.ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html - Psyche 🌹🙋🏽♀️
If freddie has said lets march on Downing Street, they would of done anything he said. Such was his gifts.
Yo voy cumpliendo 60 así que ya sabras ,viví toda la época de Queen y ( entonces estaba joben claro 😊) y me enamoré de Freedy y recuerdo que me hacían burla porque me decían que era feo y me enojaba con ellas . La cuestión era su voz y toda su música 🎶 y para terminar pronto mis hijos aprendieron sus canciones e incluso uno de ellos tiene lo que es toda la colección de música y conciertos ! Yo lo sigo amando 😢😢 gracias por reaccionar a él mejor grupo de rock del mundo ❤
At times it looked as if you didn't know whether to laugh or cry x
You're so right Greg 🙋🏽♀️🌹
FANTASTIC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, attended by about 72,000 people and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, US, attended by 89,484 people. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.
They said that they couldn't hear one another on the stage, the sound quality was awful. But unlike some of the other acts, they had rigorously rehearsed their act to the second and you can see them using visual cues amongst themselves. Incredibly professional as well as an incredible performance. Freddie's voice was giving out near the end (he had been advised by his doctor not to perform) and you can hear Roger singing louder and louder trying to support him. Such a tight band.
Much like running a few Olympic Games finals & each beating world record pace
The 100
The 200
The 400
The 800
All within 20 minutes

What an astonishing performance. There will never be anyone on Freddie Mercury’s level. That guy was in stratosphere of his own. And what’s even crazier is that he had already been suffering from HIV for 3-4 years at this point, and nobody knew it, not even Freddie himself.
I just subbed your channel, Psyche.. I like your style. I have discovered that the newer reactors have started competing with the performers by singing into their cameras/phones while the video is playing and they are missing a whole other part of the performance. As someone said below, just watching your expressions as the music played/Freddie sang told us exactly how you were feeling about the performance. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Take care and be well. Peace.
❤ - just stunning. Thank you 'so' much for your appreciation. I'm older than most doing this so not trying to compete or perform. Some have lost their way and make it about them when it should be about what we're viewing. Thank you for being part of the SLC. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️ x
Único, inolvidable.muchas gracias👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👩⚕️😷🇪🇦💜😘👑

No puedo evitar seguir comentando ,en la última canción creo te paso lo que a mi ,una tristeza por ese cantante tan completo y encantador que ya no está con nosotros y lo perdimos tan joben . Yo siempre hago una oración en esos momentos 😢 ❤❤❤
Gracias por tu sentido comentario 🌹. Adjunté una lista de reproducción de Freddie/Queens en mi canal para que la disfrutes. También lancé mi video de su última canción 'Face It All Alone' que también está en la lista de reproducción, así que disfruten. ua-cam.com/play/PLWQGjnqwg9JLVovxyC-qaaoPZbgatHvD6.html
Hi you to listen to love of my life by Queen live you will enjoy
It's already been done Kevin. Check out Queen's Playlist on my channel
Hi ok thanks will do. Have a great day
In the first song he sang, the audience sang with him.
Interesting to know before Queen came on the telephones were very quiet after Queen left the stage the telephones went absolutely mad . Also remember this was not a Queen audience but we all knew the part . Also they were sound limiters the manager switched off which meant Queen we're louder than anyone else ,and Freddie was advised not to sing by his Doctors. Its just a masterclass by Queen I've seen it many , many times over the years and still just amazing to watch . We never see his like again and as long as people listen to music Queen will live forever.
This is 100% correct 🌹
Gosto muito de ouvir está música que dá muita saudade de ouvir é pena que não esteja connosco lido
Queen is the bomb u would've know that freddie was advised by his dr not to sing cause of a throat infection and they still crushed it
performing Bohemian Rhapsody must’ve hit differently for the band at that moment
I like this comment - insightful ♥️
I LOOoooved! Your reaction! This makes me emotional Every time I see it! Not for nothing but Knowing his Lyrics it’s worth a 2nd watch for people to actually hear and understand the lyrics they resonate with ALL PEOPLE so basic and pure and true. Unbelievable that they were performing last minute and Freddy against doctors advice with a walloping throat infection and they brought in over $1,000,000 pounds that day for live aid!! More than all the others combined for the 1st 6 hrs of that benefit show! His last concert was best before he had to stop performing live (bloody AIDS anyways💔 TRAGIC!) It was called SIMPLY Live At Wembley I’d like to close with this…. Before Micheal Jackson (who was just as brilliant) there was Freddy Mercury and Queen!!
♥️
Freddy you left us way too soon!!
I don't usually do this, but I have been drawn to say this for a while now : I definitely love your hair like this. I know it is completely off topic and irrelevant, but it had to go out for some reason.
Oh, and it was really nice listening to some Queen by your side. Note that you cut yourself a bit short at the end. Anyhow, happy Easter, hoping you are doing fine these days 🥰
Hello mat dear M what a beautiful and kind comment - thank you so much. Yes, curly big hair, easier to manage so leaving it, less work 😂🤦🏽♀️. Queen was good and yes, it cut off. When I was trying to download it over from iMovie to YT it wouldn't take it - it took about 12 goes before it decided to accept it. I understand that there as glitches sometimes as YT are trying to support millions of people, so it's ok - the main content was there! I'm much better but other things to sort 😞, but I keep shuffling! Hope you had a lovely Easter M and that it was lovely, peaceful and just how you would wish it to be and more! 🙋🏽♀️❤️x
Psyche Honey,
I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been well.... I HOPE you're getting better now? And I hope being under the weather didn't spoil your Easter!
Just so you know, Hon:
At the end of that day during the closing numbers, Freddie & Brian had been asked ahead of time to take part and do an ENCORE; they performed:
"IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED?"
You NEED to see it to make your Live Aid experience complete! (I don't mean having to do a reaction - unless you chose to do so, of course... just watch it for your own enjoyment:
ua-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/v-deo.html
I know everryyyone is going to tell you: Freddie had a throat infection and his Dr. didn't want him to perform, because it might injure his throat. When Fred got done with this set, he said his throat felt like he'd been "gargling with shards of glass" (his words).
Every time I watch this performance (which is about once a week!) ...I always think about this:
Freddie had begun a relationship with Jim Hutton earlier that year... (Next time you see pictures of Fred at Live Aid or anytime after, you'll notice he's wearing what resembles a wedding band on his RIGHT ring finger... because at this time, Gay Marriage was illegal.) But when they first met and first dated, Jim had NO IDEA who Freddie was. (I think that's why Fred was initially drawn to Jim, because he didn't need to worry if Jim's interest in him was just for his fame and money.) And, up until the day of Live Aid... Jim had still NEVER EVER seen Freddie and the band perform. So... Freddie invited Jim to come along with him on this day to see the band play, but ALL that cad Fred told Jim was that the band was going to perform at a charity show. THAT'S IT. (Naughty Freddie!) Poor Jim said he was "GOBSMACKED... I just followed him around all day like a puppy." (He also said that while Queen were onstage performing, he was watching on one of the screens backstage and thinking proudly "That's my guy!")
I really hope you're feeling better, Psyche... You're looking BEAUTIFUL. (And I still LOVE those natural curls!)
-Marcella
Hello my dear Marcella - goodness I so love reading your comments - I just follow everything in my mind - it's a like a glorious book that you don't want to put down! Thank you for all of it. Live Aid is real tough to show copyright wise - the song is beautiful! Thank you for the back story - oooh can you imagine - "like gargling with shards of glass" geez that must have had a pain level off the planet - and having a sore throat and being a vocalist is beyond dreadful - but with all the adrenaline running and his sheer determination he performed the Masterpiece of the who event! And when you look at his demeanour and how he carried himself through his tough illness, he held himself like a true Queen/King - DIGNIFIED all the way to the end. An absolute credit to the human race - pity more don't follow in his footsteps!
I better now, thank goodness - it was quite a journey, but other things have taken over to sort - I will let you know in due course. Anyhow I hope you had a marvellous Easter - keep safe, happy, healthy and never change - you are one of the nicest people to have come across my path - for that I am truly grateful Marcella. All my love - Psyche ❤️xx
After Queen's set David Bowie had the unenviable task of following Queen and he exclaimed to Freddie How the f#$k am I supposed to follow that Freddie replied I Fu#$ing killed it

He commanded that crowd.
The introduction to this is great. Too bad you didn’t open with it! I wonder how many of the Queen Live Aid react videos have seen the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” before watching this!
Freddie and Brian came back on later if you watched a bit more.
...and if you bothered to look at the videos/playlists on my channel you would have seen that I did it. People are so quick to criticise without looking first especially when they're not the ones doing the work. Also anyone could miss it as it was on at a different time especially if one isn't a Queen fan.
Thanks - enjoyed the vid. Next Queen song you should check out is Somebody to Love - Montreal 1981. In my mind, even better than this. Cheers!
to think he performed this with a throat infection and told by drs not to go on......the measure of the man!!
I heard that - amazing 🌹
To give people some idea just now good queen was that day, the legendary David Bowie who was on next after queen was heard by a reporter to exclaim "how the fuck am I supposed to follow that?"
👌👑🌠

Check out lead guitarist Brian May. Astrophysist and great musician and singer songwriter in his own right.
Fasts 20 min of your life.

david bowie was on next and he said how the fck do i follow that
Oh darn 😂🤦🏽♀️ - I guess he was absolutely right Derek!
Forgive me but I'm confused. At 00:30 you say that the only person you actually saw, 'because you were really busy that day' was Madonna. To have had any appreciation of what went on on that day, almost 37 years ago, you would have to have been at least 10 years old and I'm sure you don't look a day over 35, let alone 47!
People would pay to go along and do all the singing themselves - as long as Freddie was there to conduct them!
Only a band like Queen could get away with performing a self-penned song called 'We Are The Champions'!
Hello Ray - I love your comments 😂🤦🏽♀️. And yes, you are absolutely correct in fact I'm a little older, not much but proud of it! I'm up against the younger You Tubers and people like us are not catered for, so I'm changing that, plus my SLC family is growing with younger viewers who have intelligence, taste and a sense of wanting to learn about things years ago, thus sewing it into their lives, which can only create a better existence, rather than junk food for their brains which seems to be how life is going - such a shame. Talent like Queen will never be seen again, as everyone wants quick wins without the hard work so their sustainability is non-existent. 15 minutes then 'next'! Have a wonderful weekend. Psyche 🙋🏽♀️🌹✨
@@psycheinc-theSLC Good for you and your championing of the mid-lifers and it's good to see that you're attracting a younger audience too. Keep up the good work. My weekend is going well so far. Hope yours is too.
Curious as to why you didn't watch Live Aid. You said you heard a bit of Madonnas set. Were you not into rock/pop in the 80s?
I was working on the Saturday
Thanks, Psyche! extraordinary performance as always.. don't know if anyone else sent you a link to the "encore" by Freddie & Brian, but it was awesome... (originally, there were technical problems, so this is the cleaned up version).. quite apropos... ua-cam.com/video/riwDo7_GxjM/v-deo.html

@@psycheinc-theSLC Thank you! Can I recommend a song that I'm also certain you have not seen? This is Brian May.. solo... song has been around for a bit, but the video is new, so that's why it's making "waves" now.. such an amazing man... "Another World" ua-cam.com/video/rJI_CkHJ9Z0/v-deo.html.. he also recorded it en espanol... just.....
@@GinMae I don't take requests I'm afraid as I don't get paid for that and give a lot of free time already. Also my playlist is already very very long. As you can imagine I get many recommendations which cannot be met as they run in the 1000s but thank you. I will try and watch in my free time, when I get it - and I did hear about it. How strange, I'm contacting Brian soon - weird timing. A bit like you, busy bouncing everywhere but still giving my time to this - which is a tremendous amount of work but it's good and I've learnt a lot, and met lot of niec people who are loyal and die-hard fans.
