If you look closely the multi talented Dr Brian May has his guitar sat on his lap while playing the piano ready to play his guitar solo. Freddie was my idol growing up because of his talent, fun and cheeky persona but all these band members are true geniuses in their own right which made Queen legendary
I've watched most of your Queen reactions now. The love you have for this band is for all to see.....welcome to the Queen family. They were and still are the greatest band to grace the earth!! Everything they do is beyond belief, may you enjoy their unique sound for many years to come. Thank you for responding to Queen ❤️ ❤️❤️
Freddie's voice is like honey in this song, Roger amazing, John just soooo good and Brian's transition from the piano to the guitar just like Freddie's from singing to the piano is a level of co-working that anyone would be jealous about. But we shouldn't forget the lyrics. Brian's lyrics are again sooooooo phenomenal.
linda have you seen the ratty interview called the roadcrew and me or something like that? it lasts 90 minutes and ratty tells some great stories and lets us in on a few insights, well worth searching out linda 👑✊🇬🇧
This is the perfect example of Rogers beautiful musical drumming technique. So restrained during the first part of the song but builds up in the second part. I love it, just love it .
I agree! Rogers drumming is not just the beat, it is musical. I’m surprised that is not commented on before. You can hear it well also on White Queen at the Odeon, Christmas Eve, 1975.
there is a story out about Peter, that Freddie just before he died he gave him the mic and pole, and Peter had it dipped in Gold and would never sell it.
First time learning this! And I'm so entranced with Peter's account of working with Queen, I've read Peter Hince' book at least 3 times and any blurb I see regarding his Queen association. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorites. Brian wrote this song about a friend breaking up. The song is kinda sad & of course Freddie sings his heart out. I love Brian’s transition from piano to guitar & Freddie heading back to the piano. Check out this song live in Milton Keynes 1982 it’s fantastic! I’ve seen Freddie in a full run on stage & still sings silky smooth & on pitch. My favorite lyric in this song “I love you until I die”.
One of those perfect transitions/collaborations... like in White Queen - so much "Freddie Love" - but so little appreciation for the rest of the band... (full disclosure: in love with Brian since the age of 15 -sadly, that never worked out... but love is love, even unrequited, amirite?) -
This is such an amazing song, an amazing performance by the entire band, and in this one especially by Freddie (as always!!!) and Brian. It gives me goosebumps every time...WoW!!! 😍😍😍
Brian is playing piano with his guitar in his lap ready to switch instruments for the 2nd chorus. Heard this the 1st time at Newcastle City Hall 3rd December 1979 as a new song ahead of its release in January 1980, it was absolutely amazing. You're bringing back so many happy memories
@@martinkulkarni3569 lucky that you got tickets for both nights. I was outside listening for the second night. Was beside the external mobile generators. When Queen burst back on stage after the operatic part I thought they were going to explode. Totally drowned out the noise coming from the stage,
@@allanriach I’ll always remember them coming out to get in the limo’s and Brian sat next to the window inside where I was standing. I tapped in the window, and the biggest bloke I have ever seen at the other side bellowed at the top of his voice “get away from the fucking car!” I nearly shit myself! Maybe the door wasn’t locked and it’s his arse in a sling if I had opened it! Always regretted not seeing them live in the flesh in the early days. Thee Golden’ period with the hair long and everything! Never quite had the bottle to paint my left hand fingernails black for school!
Allan Riach i was at the sat night show in the glasgow apollo on 1st dec, just amazing! that lighting rig was their best ever i always thought, it was spectacular and the whole band was at the top of their game for this tour, i still have my white nylon scarf from that night! 👑✊🇬🇧
@@RoverWaters What does opera have to do anything? I am simply implying that Freddie hits an incredible high note and what I said was true, he was using his voice to the full extent and showing his ability and what he can do with his voice.
At the time this was a new tune off the album "The Game", which this concert was part of the tour supporting the album, so it was probably the first time most of the audience saw it done live.
And @Linda Stodola Peter Hince' wrote about how wonderful Freddie handled himself all over the stage, in fact remarked about Brian's cords they were all conscious of and he, Peter, said Freddie was perfect in not getting tripped up by them.
The little interaction between Brian and Freddie at the start is them making sure they start together! Apparently, during a previous concert, they didn't start together because Brian has his back to Freddie. Freddie said "Well it didn't start off so f***king well that time!" 😂😂😂
All the tings are said about this best band ever... Freddie's incredible unique voice, Brian, Roger, John, the instruments, the voices and and and bla bla bla... but Freddie has the best guy ever to giving and taking a mic out from nowhere. Or? lol
Peter Hince (AKA Ratty) raised the job of mic handling to an art. He interacted with Freddie a lot from behind that piano. He used to wear a hat with hands on the top that would silently clap. Freddie chased him out once from behind the piano with the hands clapping lol.
ratty would sometimes stand off stage when freddie was on the piano making rude gestures trying to make freddie laugh! if you watch their live aid set look at the end of bo rhap just before the radio ga ga intro, ratty is on his knees putting tape round freddie's mic stand to get the height for crazy little thing, he is about 15 seconds away from handing the mic to freddie but he makes it! 👑✊🇬🇧
Queen is a business. Each of the 4 members gets 1/4 of the profits, even today. Anybody else involved is a paid employee of Queen. There are publishing rights on their earlier music so the writer of the song does get royalities on top of their Queen salary. Later on, the band decided to just list Queen as the writer of all of their songs which handled a huge portion of thier arguments that centered on egos.
Dezz when I commented on this reaction a year ago- I told you the guy who assisted Freddie was Ratty( Peter Hince). But I forgot that he also wrote a book about Queen- it’s a fab book/ funny as hell!
You can't go wrong reacting to any Queen live. Should react to the official video. A mix of Queen on stage with an animated story with some amazing transitions between the two.
You are so ADORABLE!.Sorry. The guy handing the mike to Freddie Is his Roadie Peter Hence and he takes care of Everything for Freddie on the road and then there's Peter Freestone His PA. and he takes care of Freddie 24 7.
Hey, JTB - I know you approve of this performance, and I've "liked" it -- but I wonder if you actually noticed that Brian is playing those keys with his guitar IN HIS LAP - which is why the transition is so smooth... lol
I don't know if anybody else has recommended it - but talking about witnesses to it all I can recommend the book " my life with the greatest rock band of the 20th. century: Queen unseen" by Peter Hince. It is extremely funny - and supposed to be honest - by Mack - Queen Record Producer - I know - I was there.
Well, my NEVault channel was based on general videos, not really a brand. I just wanted to start fresh and make a brand based channel, where I have a goal for one specific genre of video. So every sub I earn, every new viewer is from scratch if you understand? Haha

I’ve said it a million times... there will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury. He’s unique voice hooked us all
No one but me
Freddie's voice is like honey in this song, Roger amazing, John just soooo good and Brian's transition from the piano to the guitar just like Freddie's from singing to the piano is a level of co-working that anyone would be jealous about. But we shouldn't forget the lyrics. Brian's lyrics are again sooooooo phenomenal.
I’ve just watched your reaction again all these months later and I loved it. Thankyou
I don't listen to anybody else lately you are BLESSED , live you FREDDIE MERCURY an Queen Forever ♾️👑🌹💞
Same !!!!
That’s Ratty! Freddie’s mic guy!! He wrote a great book about Queen! His real name is Peter Hince-

This band works soo great together... hear how Roger with his drums gives Freddie the time to come to the piano at 06:53. Just for example ;)
there is a story out about Peter, that Freddie just before he died he gave him the mic and pole, and Peter had it dipped in Gold and would never sell it.

An amazing concert and this song is my favourite from that concert, so much emotion and passion, it gives me goosebumps every time.
Superman wears a Freddie shirt.
You know Queen all got the same pay. They said they were all equals. Just amazing men all around!
Freddie sings so great in this song too,. Very good song. Love it ❤️
This is such an amazing song, an amazing performance by the entire band, and in this one especially by Freddie (as always!!!) and Brian.
It gives me goosebumps every time...WoW!!! 😍😍😍

Was there myself in 3rd and 4th December 1979. In The Lap Of The Gods to finish. The atmosphere was incredible!

Love this song and this performance!
That VOICE!!
Freddie willed his mic and stand to Peter Hince who had it gold plated
Great THANKS!
I love the contrast too.
5.35 to 5.55 Freddie hits a fantastic high note with alot of power and fullness.
so?
this aint opera
@@RoverWaters What does opera have to do anything? I am simply implying that Freddie hits an incredible high note and what I said was true, he was using his voice to the full extent and showing his ability and what he can do with his voice.
Another gem only true queens know of.
One of my Queen favorites. I think I say that every time I hear a different one.😂
At the time this was a new tune off the album "The Game", which this concert was part of the tour supporting the album, so it was probably the first time most of the audience saw it done live.
So glad you are reuploading these great songs and reactions that I can listen to forever
Also, their overhead lighting display, the call the pizza oven, red, green, blue. It went everywhere they did
This is the soundtrack to my life
Love it!! So many great songs 🎵
And @Linda Stodola Peter Hince' wrote about how wonderful Freddie handled himself all over the stage, in fact remarked about Brian's cords they were all conscious of and he, Peter, said Freddie was perfect in not getting tripped up by them.
If you look closely you would see that Brian always raises hes feet higher while he walks on stage, as to not trip on wires.
One of my favorites. Enjoying your reloads
The little interaction between Brian and Freddie at the start is them making sure they start together! Apparently, during a previous concert, they didn't start together because Brian has his back to Freddie. Freddie said "Well it didn't start off so f***king well that time!" 😂😂😂

the Monteal patrons were told to remain seated by the venue management, much against the band's wishes. Mesmerized maybe, captivated certainly
Requesting 'Was it all worth it' from The Miracle album...a classic Queen transitional song, give it a go 👍
This perfomance is from the Second night by the way,the first night is on audience recording.
Great song, great reaction. Thanks!
Ótima não, maravilhosa!!!! ❤

Roger & Brian do a commentary on the Montreal concert you should do reactions to them they are hilarious 😆 & informative xx
Apparently there's an audio clip from a concert in Stockholm when they start this song. Dig it out. It'll make you smile! 😆
Stockholm 1982

Peter Hence and he takes care of Everything for Freddie on the road and then there's Peter Freestone
His PA. and he takes care of Freddie
24 7.
Hey Jack, loved your reactions. Miss you, hope you’re doing ok. (So sorry for your loss. 🥺) A little worried and hoping you’re feeling better.
Hey, JTB - I know you approve of this performance, and I've "liked" it -- but I wonder if you actually noticed that Brian is playing those keys with his guitar IN HIS LAP - which is why the transition is so smooth... lol
👏👏👏👏
Hi have you done Queen and MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN
Nice!!!!!!great!!!!!thanks!

Why has your channel changed? I enjoy your stuff👍

Wth I didn't like an save this lol an this is another of my favorites 💞 SAVE ME 💟
