- In this video, I react for the first time to Queen performing ‘Somebody To Love’ live in Montreal. In this video, I analyse their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate Freddie Mercury’s vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Queen are one of the biggest bands of all time and they have a special place in my heart!

Hola preciosa! Llevo varios meses enganchada a tu maravilloso canal y pese a no entender bien del todo el inglés me parece increíble! Me encantaría que escucharás a una cantante española llamada DIANA NAVARRO y su canción contra el maltrato a la mujer EL PERDÓN. Me aria tanta ilusión!! Gracias
I think THIS version of this song is the best R&R live video ever made.
Without a doubt the greatest front man ever!!
I have Minded my Ps and Qs for 50 years , Pink Floyd and Queen
Please next reaction Putri Ariani again in Boheiman Rhapsody Queen FULL VERSION
In this song MAGICAL ua-cam.com/video/sYVUdmsOC0Y/v-deo.htmlsi=sg_Nl8nck78R2t3-
❤❤😊😊🎉🎉
My cousin saw Queen in 82 and sat 2 rows from the front. At the end of the concert Freedie brought out a bouquet of roses, pulled out one at a time, kissed the rose then tossed it into the audience. She caught one, preserved it and still has it today.
Rainbow concert😊
It's great that John Deacon gets some love. Some of his fills in that performance are awesome.
His intro on Keep Yourself Alive in this same concert is so funky & iconic ❤
the fact that these 4 found each other is nothing short of a miracle
Was that a joke?
I'm a metalhead normally, but there is simply no denying that Queen is the greatest band of all time, and Freddie is the greatest singer/frontman. There is not even a slight competition in the frontman part. There are loads of fantastic bands, but Queen is just the complete package of perfection, and unbeatable live.
Well said.
I remember an account of when an interviewer asked each of them what their favourite instrument was. When it came to Freddie, all he said was, "The audience, darling!"
@@temperatechimp yep, and he wasnt kidding.
Lol
Couldn't have said it better.
Freddie Mercury was born to be the ultimate rockstar. A combination of talent, training and sheer musical genious that cannot be replicated.
Also, the fact that the rest of the band, Roger, Brian and John are also legendary tier with their instruments AND singing is amazing. These exceptional people happened to find each other and combine their talent to give mankind a gift.
In 100 years and beyond people will still listen to Queen.
I saw Queen in 1979 in Buffalo, NY. My university roommate was a huge Queen fan. No warm up act. Just Queen at their finest. A show I will never forget.
I want to marry this woman...AND Freddie...and all of Queen! That's the power of Freddie and Queen!
That was brightest musical tear ever...
Thank you for recognizing Roger and John. When you have a talent and personality as larger than Life as Freddie's, it takes some effort to really appreciate the still amazing talents of the rest of the band. Sir Brian, of course, receives plenty of deserved attention, but I've always felt Roger and John don't get near enough respect. They are a super group, through and through.
put the best 50 singer from nowadays in a mixer and you get a half freddie...
@@seelenwinter6662Damn Straight on that!👑❤️👍
To be fair, John was pretty consistantly eager to skip the limelight.
An amazing musician and writer who has entered the pantheon of music greats on the sly.
❤
It's not even just their musical talent either. Brian and his father made the Red Special guitar with its signature sound and feed back and then John made the Deacy Amp to go with it and it's all part of their unique sound.
I saw 3 different Queen concerts in the late 70s and early 80s. And they were all fabulous. They're showman ship is unmatched. You would actually get chills listening and watching them
yes, Freddie's walk isn't a strut, it's a dance. His whole body channels the music and punctuates it.
He was so magnificent at that moment, and the band members so in sync that you never notice Brian running back to fix a broken guitar string.
The world definitely got robbed losing Freddie and that awesome voice.
What pure joy. That performance is so complex and intense and beautiful that life is just too short to take it all in. Freddie: you live!
I've never understood how Roger can have such a raspy voice but a crystal clear falsetto. You've probably seen In The Lap Of The Gods live in 1974 but if not, he does some incredible high notes 😊
He was better live than in studio amazing showman
The man earned the right to wear that S.
My Favourite Band/Singer Ever. I will admit that I’m a Freddie Mercury Fanatic and Proud to say it as well.
I feel happy knowing I'm not the only one crying and getting goosebumps when listening to this song. Thank you for your video.
I'm not crying... You're crying. Lol
Hey beautiful I saw Queen in 1985 in New Zealand 😀😀😀😀😀
Three months before Live Aid
Freddie was having throat problems and his doctor told him not to sing or risk damaging his vocal cords. Being Freddie Mercury he went out and gave one of his best most powerful performances ever. There will never be another like him. The closest i have ever heard to Freddie is Marc Martel. Roger Taylor said the first time he heard Marc sing he cried because Marc sounded so like Freddie. Cheers
I've watched many other vocal coaches reacting to & analysing vocal performances on UA-cam, but no one I've seen so far is capable of doing such detailed and complete analyses like you do. With your powers of observation you're able to bring up and focus on small details and nuances most people would simply overlook. Your wit, musical sensibility, humour and enthusiasm make for a treat of a package. And no matter how much you may geek over some aspect of a performance, you never do so in a superficial, annoying or boring way. You're a joy to watch and listen. Keep up the amazing work! Cheers and hugs! //Rick
I wanted to say that but could never have said it quite as eloquently as you🎉🎉⁰
@@luciasantiagotaylor8817 Thank you for the kind words, Lucia!
Man, live, Freddy played the audience just as much as the piano, guitar, or his voice. Live-Aid is probably the best example of that.
First concert I attended was January 1978 in Kansas City, MO, for their Queen Live Killer's Tour. Best concert I ever attended, never saw or heard a better front man. The whole crowd was into the music and Freddie us all to join in for multiple songs.
Life long fan ..honored to have seen them at Elland Road, Leeds FC Stadium in 1981 , after my dear Dad drove me from Stockport to get there then waited outside the stadium for me , thanks Dad, we all miss you , it was life changing experience
A note to watch when you review this... the second time Freddie moves to the audience and Roger is playing the drums hard, watch as Freddie sees Brian walking to the back to tend to his guitar. It is so seamless, most miss it. Freddie works the audience until he looks back again to see Brian coming back to the front of the stage and then moves forward with the song. All, without any fuss, do their parts. John rocks the bass during that time and Roger keeps them going and shifts when Brian steps back up to the mic. It is this peek into their professionalism that moves me to tears. Regarding Roger Taylor doing solo projects, he did! His latest Live album is gorgeous: _The Outsider Tour Live_ - do check it out! And yes, I saw Queen live in 1978... the Jazz Tour. It was incredible. I am sure the stadium (that doesn't exist anymore) is still resonating with a _stomp stomp clap_ that started 30 minutes before the show even began.
Whoa... I never would have seen that if not for your comment, so thank you. That is extremely cool.
She talks too much. To many interruptions. Sorry.
I was 3 in 1978. never seen queen live. you bastard. sorry. just envy tslking.
@@kathyfarrell7283 It’s an analysis video by a subject matter expert, what did you expect? A video of a person watching a video?
I do believe I've seen this remarked on before but yours is by far the best description of it, and points out something which, even though I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this, made me look again and see how right you are. Just goes to show how deeply Queen fans analyse every move our boys make! Thank you for pointing it out!
I feel like I'm in a dream every time I watch Freddie perform live. He was undeniably one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
I saw Queen in 1982 in Detroit, MI. Arguably the best concert I ever attended. Most concerts you go to observe, but with Queen, they draw you in to the emotion of the show and you are really participating!
Agreed. I saw them in 1978 when they were touring the News of the World Album and started to add new songs from Jazz which was released later that year. They were all great. Freddie was such a showman, and had the vocals to match.
you lucky lucky dog!
Omg 1982 i was born in 80.
Its So crazy that it was live aid to define them to everyone.
When the real fans knew them from the start.
Lol at least what my mum says.
Every time queen gets spoken about on the tv.
They were up and coming in the 70s!!!!
WE KNOW MUM!!!!!
Lol we wont let the new generations forget them xxx
I’ve only experienced this two twice, with a mosh pit at ‘Los Redonditos de Ricota, Cemento, Bs As’ and ‘Radiohead, Osheaga Festival, Quebec”
So jealous!!
Saw them in Omaha in 1980. The best experience.
the most iconic reaction ever :)
I love your appreciation for John Deacon too
Man i miss Freddie so much... 😢
While I'm not fluent in the British vernacular, I would have to concur with your summation of, "BLOODY HELL!!!".
😊😊😊
A beautiful breakdown and analysis, by a beautiful and intelligent young lady!!! ❤❤
Love from California...
Freddie king of rock 🤘 please do live aid queen 85 reaction
I saw Queen here in Los Angeles multiple times. There was magic in the air for every performance. Miss Freddie so much. Thank you for the lovely and insightful reactions.
Love love love that you mentioned Roger Taylor's BV. This song wouldn't have been the same without him. Bohemian Rhapsody wouldn't have been... There are so many queen songs where if he'd just been drumming the song would have been less.
All 4 queen members were amazing!
Queen were SO much more than the sum of the parts. All 4 members wrote hit songs (OK it took John till their 3rd album to start contributing his songwriting). It's so refreshing to see/hear a reaction that picks up on this.
Liverpool 1979 ...From the moment they walked on stage...it was an all guns blazing rock n roll show..Fab band.
Kudos for not just concentrating on Freddie. Queen were so much more than just a backing band.
This performance is amazing! 😱🤩
Hey geourgeous!!! Me again. Love your reactions. I'm from Argentina. Queen was my first live show. That was in 1981. I was 16 years old. Here in my city, Mar del Plata, Argentina. Also the first vinyl I bought was Queen 1. Amazing band. Amazing singer. Many years after I saw Brian May. Thanks. You brougth me lots of good memories!!!
Yes, I Love your comments... and your smile.. Beautiful
There are Rock Stars, Rock Legends, Rock Gods, and then there's Freddie Mercury
A journalist once asked Freddy what his favorite instrument to play was. He responded, "The audience, darling."
❤we want more Queen
Hello gorgeous, thank you for the fantastic analysis and for the new words "sectionception" and " shredisfaction" I love it.
11-12-1977 Houton Texas - Yes, that album and by far the best concert I have ever attended. I recently found it here on youtube and have been able to relive that slice of heaven again.
I love your infectious enthusiasm for this performance. Roger Taylor could easily be the lead singer in any band, but with Queen the embarrassment of riches is such that he doesn't need to be, he can drum and do backing vocals. For me this is one of their best live performances, so good it puts many other groups to shame, because they all do it from the heart. Thank you so much for reacting to this. 😊
Roger Taylor has an incredible voice, without a doubt. When you have someone who can match Freddie's vocals an octave higher as backing, and with the same precision, that's an incredible feat.
@@johndeeregreen4592Yes, I agree 100% and all whilst drumming, Roger is really talented as all the band were.
All could be lead singers of other bands
@@hman2912Yes, that's so true.
This is on my shortlist for best reaction I've ever seen. And I've watched a shit tonne of reactions!!
Freddie is THE Rock Star. No one will ever hold a candle to him
It has been been said that a band is only as good as its weakest link,QUEEN did not have any weakness ,the bassn drives every melody ,kudos to John for holding it all together.
Once you 'Get' Queen...They become part of your soul and mental wallpaper. Although now in this 21st century there is so much mystique surrounding Queen, and particularly Freddie's legendary status...We who were privileged to see Queen perform live, knew instinctively that we were witnessing inimitable greatness. I was so very fortunate to attend several of their concerts in different parts of the world in the mid 80's...This band were the perfect storm, and Freddie was the God with pockets full of fairy dust, who ensured each and every ticket holder experienced the absolute time of their lives. Dear Freddie showed us inside his heart...and we will love him forever for it.❤
Queen really is the perfect band. Every member is ridiculously talented and intelligent, and each contributes so much to the overall final product. They were all perfectionists but with a humanity that you can feel. And... Freddie is just beyond compare. I truly believe he was the best front man in music history.
NO ONE can sing like Freddie.
Freddie's voice is unmatched.
Did you know that even scientific study confirms Freddie Mercury had an unparalleled singing voice. That what makes his voice so special was extremely fast vibrato 7.04 Hz and subharmonics. He was able to create several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie was using a subharmonics by vibrating his ventricular folds, a technique usually found only in Tuvan throat singers. One of the conclusions from the studies was that "Mercury was vibrating something in his throat that even Pavarotti couldn't move and that kind of creates a very typical vocal fingerprint"
Check out White queen live at the Odeon 75
Freddie's solo Exercises in free love
Thank you for this obvious professional opinion . Queen (Freddy ) is my life . Warm greetings from germany
I just love watching your videos....queen is the best
Crying at you crying at this video! The most charismatic front man in history! The band always sounds so amazing live and I am convinced Roger Taylor could have been a lead singer in his own right Thank you for reacting to this! It's always nice to see people loving the same musicians you do
Roger is actually the most prolific member of Queen; having released not only more solo albums (6 and counting) but also 3 albums as lead singer with "The Cross".
Brian mays guitar had technical difficulties during the middle set. Freddie knew something was wrong and prolonged the outro. Freddie was smart to play with the crowd to give Brian time to fix it.
This is hands down the best reaction ever
Bloody love you Lolli. Your enthusiasm is as contagious as laughter. Never change.
I saw the Night at the Opera tour in 1977 in Madison Square Garden, New York City.
The energy in that stadium was immense and electric. And then Freddie brought us down to tears with Love of My Life.
Saw them the following year, Fat Bottom Girls tour. Same venue.
They sang Bicycle, then seamlessly transitioned to Fat Bottom Girls. While they sang, about 8 very voluptuous ladies wearing thongs and pasties road their 10-speed bicycles around the stage.
Both tours were epic!
He really was the best ever. Still missed even over 3 decades gone.
MORE QUEEN 😊👑🔥
While Live Aid was their best set ever, I think this is their best performance of just one song. When you talked about connecting with the audience that was Freddy's best talent, he was a showman. Roger is great in this, Brian is always great, John is steady and gives them the bass lines they need, but the starting point is always Freddy and his talent and presence. Great reaction, everyone should hear this version of the song at least once in their life, this is about a perfect as you can get.
So true freddie is unreal sometimes his skils are outstanding blowing our minds
This performance is fantastic of course and the most-well-known… There is also the 1982 performance at Milton Keynes Bowl, which is actually the one that Queen has put in their official compilation of Best Live Performances.🖖
I totally agree! I think that I've seen this performance at least a hundred times which has been a pleasure every time. I'll never get tired of it! ❤🌈👑
I was at Live Aid and don't think that in musical terms it was their best. However, what Freddie & Co did was to somehow turn a huge general audience into THEIR audience in twenty minutes with a direct and totally charismatic performance. Their professionalism is unsurpassed.
Your smile says it all ❤
If Roger hadn't been the drummer for Queen, I don't know where this whole project would have ended up. Freddy drove Roger to be his best. He became the best with his voice while being a bloody great drummer added into the mix! Thanks Roger. You're a bloody legend!
Freddie was such a performer and what an amazing voice, amazing.
It's super cute to see you being all giddy Lolli, it's awesome.
Loved the reaction
Led Zeppelin-Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973 )
New favorite word:
SHREDISFACTION
❤😍😛🙃
Freddie is the BEST!!! My first concert as a kid. Queen was AMAZING!!!
I saw Queen in 1976 at Cardiff Castle, it poured down all day but they were magnificent, I was 13 and went on my own. I also saw them in Milton Keynes bowl in 1982, a much bigger venue but still magnificent. I've seen them post Freddie with Adam Lambert and they were very good but it wasn't the same.
I was fortunate to see Queen in concert during this tour at the Baltimore Civic Center in August of 1980. I was 18 years old at the time, and I still vividly remember the show. Freddie owned the crowd from the moment he stepped on the stage. It was definitely "one of those shows".
You want to see the band in the recording studio messing around while reinhold mac is trying to record one vision absolutely hilarious
A true artist doesn't want to perform, they have to. The beauty within demands a release. Modern pop music seems to have forgotten that this divine inspiration is the heart of true art. Not money or fame. I miss the music of my youth. When the radio was filled with artists like Queen who knew better.
A long time ago. In a gala... No wait minute.
Just a long time ago.
As an early teenager, our class went to London. We did it the real Scandinavian way and sailed, clearly.
I still have a towel from the ship, I think.
And apart from being escorted away by armed police at one point because of a massive angry protest against the Iraq war I think it was.
We also went to see a musical of Queen, We Will Rock You. Was the first time I really saw such a thing.
And it was pretty amazing.
Clearly I am to young. ( Imagine I can still say those words ) to have seen them live.
But seeing this show, is something that still feels important to me.
Also, about Roger. I remember seeing different things from him. And as a drummer myself ( Well compared to legends like him, I guess it should be called aspiring drummer )
I remember back when I was young and played in bands, trying to play and sing at the same time, partly because of Roger. And it's really not easy.
You are doing multiple different rhythms at once, with both hands and both feet. So the singing part is completely different from that, you need to be able to cut the two things of completely.
Like using a different computer, because if you use the same it blurs together.
I really have extreme respect for drummers who play and sing.
It can be a reason I fall for bands. The first sort of unknown band I got in fan mode over was because of a drummer playing and singing called Haste the Day.
Music is emotions, it's a journey of memories.
Music can take different people on different journeys, because it depends on the emotions and memories of that person.
And that is why music is so powerful. It's a connection to things you forgot, or lost. Or a hope to something you wish you had.
The right music can touch things you know are there, right inside you. But often just out of reach.
I need music every day.
And that is why I really enjoy your reactions, because it's easy to see what music means for you to.
Thanks for another reaction.
one of the greatest live performances ever! 🙌🏼
Im really pleased you spoke about all the members of the group, particularly with regards to John Deacon because without all the members of the group queen may never have been as great as they became. All members of the group were outstanding. Real masters of music.
So, while I was too young to go see Queen in 1981 at the forum, this year I got about as close as possible.
There is an IMAX movie of the entire concert from 1981 playing at IMAX theatres around Canada and the US. The Montreal Forum was closed down in 1996 and has since been repurposed as an entertainment complex. Part of this is having an IMAX theatre basically where center ice was located. I went and watched this movie at that very theatre with my son. So basically Freddy was being projected exactly where he was standing in 1981. Even through the video screen so manybyears after his death he was still able to control the audience and the whole theatre was singing along with him. It was truly magical.
I'm lucky in that I managed to see them 6 times. I've seen a thousand gigs, played a hundred, and nothing compares. Roger's vocals are incredible
The love and excitement in her face….music does something to all of us.
"shredisfaction" is a word I didn't know I needed in my life, thank you XD
I love how you're absolutely fangirling over him😅... See myself in it, everytime I listen to them❤.. Best band in history and future❤️🙌🏽❤️
I can't even imagine how wonderful it must have been to be in that show that night in 1981. This performance was incredible in so many ways. I'm blown away
Its a shame we had to lose him such talent and the purest love and devotion to his skill and how much he loved doing what he did you could see it in all of them on stage
You must watch Queen at Wembley 1986 “Now I’m here”. Both Freddie and Brian ruling the Stadium with Roger and John filling in the background. All the Wembley show is a huge rabbit hole to go down.
l was at that concert in Montréal, 10th Row in front of Freddie's piano. IT was an amazing performance
How good he is at feeding the audience really shows when you watch the Live Aid performance. It was a hot day with a lot of performers, and Queen was on the downslide as a "has-been" group at the time, but as soon as they took the stage he took control and within minutes they were quite literally eating from the palm of his hand. Created the most memorable performance of the entire concert, and made everyone remember just how good Queen was.
Love to enjoy queen's music with you
great reaction and very informative, Freddie was truly a once in a lifetime singer/performer as really was all of Queen, have a great day!
I have to say that I think the people who seem to be discovering Queen now (meaning the virtual multitude of UA-cam reactors) focus on Freddie. This may be partly due to the movie.
However, old people like me who grew up with Queen have always seen them as a band. They were each amazingly talented musicians and songwriters, but together, they equaled greatest.
You are an absolutely joy! I'm a huge Queen fan for 49 years now, saw them many times and met the band in 1982. Thank you for your articulate and enthusiastic analysis of the greatest group AND singer of all time ❤
Excellent reaction. Everyone comments on the incredible Freddie, Brian, Roger and Queen as a band. It takes John's talent added to the mix make them all the very best. Thank you for recognizing John.
Beutifull soulful heavenly smooth wonderful beutifull voice's from my time I'm glad they made real music real instruments wow ❤❤😊
Reporter: What instrument do you play? Freddy: "The audience darling, the audience." All 4 have degrees & All 4 have written #1 songs. Freddy: "Most bands rehearse until they can, get it right. We rehearse until we can't, get it wrong." Brian May built his guitar at age 16, his friend John Deacon wired it, before getting his degree in electronics.
Queen!!!! amazing band!! Great artists!!! Unique... Thank you for bring this on!!!....love your channel.
As a massive Queen fan myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Freddie absolutely commanded the stage when he performed. And Roger's voice absolutely makes this song even more magical. This performance is musical perfection.
Greatest entertainer in human history
I've tried to imagine how he carried on at the end knowing death was coming. He was a true inspiration.
Had the good fortune to see these music gods at Wembley in 1986 as a raw 17 year old (do the math 😂).You ask about the experience, the great thing is ,the concert was recorded for vhs,then available on dvd and now youtube,yes I did search for me and found me in the audience, so alot of my memories were captured on film. The emotion of the day was electric, Status Quo played as did INXS and The Alarm but when Queen entered on stage my word if the stadium had a roof it would have been blown off such was the roar. I do remember when the crowd started clapping for We Will Rock You towards the end of the concert I couldn't lift my arms anymore I was that knackered because of the emotion and exhilaration of seeing my idols live. Great reaction Lolly check out their early stuff it's all about fairies and mystical and magical tales I think you will enjoy them.
Terrific reaction to an incredible performance. Thanks for sharing!
I read that each member of the band wrote at least one number one song. Freddie is magic, but Queen is four remarkable musicians.
I saw Queen at MSG in the early 80s. They opened with "Let me entertain you"
Hello Lolli. Brand new subscriber here. You are an exciting blend of educational and entertaining. You’re also one of a very few vocal coaches who actually demonstrates what they’re talking about, which is tremendously appreciated. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you’re just lovely. Thanks for this and excuse me whilst I take a trip back through your catalogue. I may be a while.
