I’m a Queenie. I adore this band! Thanks for reacting to them. I saw them in the 1980’s and was mesmerized! Try 1976 Hyde Park as Freddie hypnotizes a riotous crowd by singing his latest: You Take My Breath Away. The beauty he conveys is otherworldly!❤ This band always gave 100%!
Queen were perfectionists who always wanted to give the fans 110% and they were great musicians. I think it is sometimes overlooked how well they could play. When they started touring North America the tour was so long it would take it's toll on Freddie's vocal cords. As Peter "Ratty" Hince (their head roadie)said the booking agent would get out a map, a blindfold and a set of darts and make sure the tour is in the winter. Freddie got vocal cord nodules during the 1975 Night At the Opera tour so occasionally he would have to count on Roger to hit the high notes. Chief Mouse has a host of bootleg Queen concerts on his UA-cam channel. Japan 1979, I think, Freddie's voice was hoarse. I don't know what concert is was but Roger started singing the wrong verse in "I'm In Love With My Car" and stopped singing so Freddie jumped in and sang until Roger picked it up again. It's hilarious. Freddie got drunk with Tony Hadley before the only show they did in Auckland but it wasn't recorded. On the Day At the Races tour Freddie had to cancel a couple of dates just before I saw them. He had 5 days off so his voice was excellent again. Love your reactions! The encore at the Rainbow is great. Big Spender and Modern Times Rock and Roll.
Best band ever!! Greetings from Greece The day Freddie died i learnt about Queen because of my brother reacting to the news. I was ten,my brother gave me some bootlegs to hear. Since then i bought everything they released and i have some of them in different formats. I always think that Freddie's death was like a supernova explosion that made a lot of people learn about them like me. The only thing i can say is that their music and character made my life better,more beautiful and myself as a person better also. Thanks for the reaction
Spread Your Wings official video was recorded the same day as We Will Rock You in the backyard of Roger’s newly purchased house. He didn’t even have full ownership yet. It was winter and they were cold and cranky. Freddie was trying to keep warm with a bottle of Brandy and got drunk. He had to throw up in Roger’s bushes lol. Freddie couldn’t play the piano so John had to with his Bass around his neck. It’s funny watching Freddie try to drag the mic around. Brian wouldn’t subject the Red Special to the elements so he is playing a different guitar. Toward the end Freddie starts swinging his mic around. Amazing he didn’t hit John haha! I believe this is the same day they signed a new contract in their manager’s car in the driveway and got quite hefty checks so they were also celebrating that.
This is one of Freddie's amazing qualities, no matter how fast or slow the song is you can understand the words he is saying😊 You are right, his pronunciation of words is good. This band is so talented. Can you please feature 1. Love of my Life at Wembley or Rock in Rio and 2. You take my Breath away at Hyde Park. You will not be disappointed. Freddie is a very talented person that is difficult to describe in just one word❤ Thanks for featuring Queen again. I also like that you give comments after the video. Great job!👏👏👏
You're doing great. If you want warly Queen you have to react to Liar the Rainbow 1974. Everyone gets a chance to shine. I think this will give you a few surprises xx
Queen is such an amazing band with four brilliant musicians, three of whom are great singers. With this in mind, whenever Freddie struggled vocally (sometimes they were booked for more shows than Freddie’s voice could sustain) you will see Roger Taylor jump in seamlessly and take on lead vocals. I cannot remember the exact date but there is a video from one of the shows in Japan where Freddie was struggling with “Don’t Stop Me Now”.
Well, and on that note, Freddie having vocal difficulties is, to me, a different topic... not lackluster performance or "not feeling it". They ALWAYS pushed for an "A game" performance, they were known for it, so it's hard to find dull Queen performances. But perhaps the 1982 Hot Space tour when some of the band didn't enjoy the material as much as others? Though don't count on me to cite specific examples, I can't quite get my rose colored glasses to come off... ;-)
Oh, I love this live performance! 😍 Thanks for doing it. Liar from the same concert is amazing too! Your videos are so great. It’s really fun listening to your comments. 😊
Hanover 1984 Freddie fell down some stairs in Hammer To Fall 🙃 and busted his knee. He finished the song but had to be helped off stage. He returned to the piano and the band played all the numbers that could be performed with him seated. Only poor audio exists of this concert. Love you Freddie.❤️ GOAT
If you've been liking this kind of songs you totally have to listen to 'Liar' Live at the Rainbow 1974. It has one of the best live guitar solos ever! Also, John Deacon the bass player has a solo too. It would be interesting seeing you react to that!
I can't think of a bad Queen performance. There are performances with a little voice crack or messing up the words but Freddie is so damn charismatic and the band plays so well that it's still a great performance. They mess with each other too. On the Saturday performance of Another One Bites The Dust live at Wembley 1986, Freddie goes to the piano to get a drink and towel before the song but Roger wouldn't let him and went right into the song, catching Freddie off guard. That is all caught on camera if you want to watch that one. Freddie's reaction is hilarious. I'm sure it's payback for something Freddie did to Roger. Cracked me up. It's a great performance too so even if you know the song, it's worth checking out. Great reaction, guys, thanks!
I saw Queen about a dozen times - from the 1970s to the last time at Wembley in 1986. They were incredibly consistent, totally professional and just fantastic. Not a bad show amongst them!
Enunciate is the word you're looking for x. I saw them in March 1974 at Manchester University only a few months before the Rainbow gig. They were brilliant x
Thank you for continuing with early Queen. I enjoy your discussion after the music; very enthusiastic and spontaneous. I can't think of a poor performance.
Sat in my local With a pints of bitter and watching I'm listening to this headphones on looking like a nutter absolutely brilliant and and thank you 👍🏻
Great reaction! Thank you. I'm even more impressed with his pure, clear vocals when you consider his overbite. Before I get attacked here, an overbite can affect speech patterns and clarity. (s's and z's for instance). But not for Freddie. He is all about precision in regard to diction & pronunciation.
Thank you, great reaction...you need to react to “Liar” live at the Rainbow...amazing performance...in 1974, Freddie was 28.... Brian was 27......Roger was 25.....and John Deacon was a mere 23 ...such an excellent bass player🤩since you are musicians you may be interested in: One Vision Documentary ( the 20 mins version is the best).....the making of We are the Champions (about 10mins)....a rehearsal for Live Aid and an interview with the four of them before Live Aid....enjoy the journey!🤩
As you are reacting to the Rainbow concert please react to In The Lap of the Gods & In The Lap of the Gods revisited (same title two completely different songs) which comes at the end before the encore ❤ keep up the good work with Queen xx
Can you please do Get Down Make Love in Milton Keynes and Another One Bites The Dust also in Milton Keynes not the version you’ve heard it’s a different version❣️ Keep doing Queen and you'll have all of us Queenies with you and there are millions of us😁
Great song! Here are a few. Now I’m Here, live at Wembley 1986. There are also multicam videos for this same performance for Roger Taylor and for John Deacon. This is Roger’s toughest song to perform. Also, Dragon Attack, live at Montreal. You will love all of these.
The problem with looking for “not the best” performances with Queen, as with most performers I would imagine, is that the recordings have had their ok and/or have been remastered. They must have had off nights, but because nobody had phones to record them they are lost. You might be interested in watching the whole Montreal ‘81 concert with the running commentary by Brian and Roger, or some of the “making of” videos that are out there.
I feel bad for Freddie during Love of my Life when the audience isn’t participating much because they were told not to so not many were singing. You hear Freddie say “they don’t know it” and Brian replies “that’s alright”.
Love your reactions. I did find a video of Now I'm Here, live at Wembly that you should like. Freddie gives a shout out to John. It's a fun video and shows how much energy they put into the show
The only non A game performances that I am aware of are March 29, 1970 Freddie performed while drunk and forgot some words to Bo Rhap. and also in 1979 in Japan he had lost his voice and struggled a lot.
Yea because they missed the significance of that particular song to the audience which was political. He misjudged it completely because he wouldn't know that. Was just having fun with it, which backfired big style.
If you're looking for an of performance, you'll have to dip into the bootleg stuff. There's plenty on You Tube. Himeji Japan in 1976,Freddie has a really off night
Speed metal before there WAS such a thing!
I’m a Queenie. I adore this band! Thanks for reacting to them. I saw them in the 1980’s and was mesmerized! Try 1976 Hyde Park as Freddie hypnotizes a riotous crowd by singing his latest: You Take My Breath Away. The beauty he conveys is otherworldly!❤ This band always gave 100%!
youve got to watch the entire rainbow concert

GOAT. I’ve said everything I can about QUEEN and my darling FREDDIE. 💛👑💛👑💛
Oh, I love this live performance! 😍 Thanks for doing it. Liar from the same concert is amazing too! Your videos are so great. It’s really fun listening to your comments. 😊
if you liked this then you must listen to "sheer heart attack" its where Queen out punk Punk

Poor Freddie, thank you for letting us know!
Yes another great performance : Dragon Attack Live Montreal 1981, another exemple that prouves how good they are such a great combination…
Wow that’s Queen they sound like a metal band
They were a metal band!

Only thing wrong with this song i wish it was longer.Queen forever.
One of my all time favorites. Metallica covered this years later and won a Grammy. Queen should have won many Grammys but never did. Great reaction.
We reacted to James Hetfield covering this at Freddie memorial, that'll be out soon 👀

So jealous!
There's a recording of Freddie performed while drunk
Enunciate is the word you're looking for x.

Absolutely love that! Hope you had a great time a the pub!
Thank you for watching ❤️

Been requested loads! It'll come 😁
@@MoreMeetArthur brilliant thank you x
for a bit of fun have a look at there rock n roll melody at wembley 86
Do 'father to son' from the same show
Can you please do
Get Down Make Love in Milton Keynes and Another One Bites The Dust also in Milton Keynes not the version you’ve heard it’s a different version❣️
Keep doing Queen and you'll have all of us Queenies with you and there are millions of us😁

Wounderful review lads, it's lovely to see live music appreciated,, bands today just can not do that, that's why quenn are so special
Absolutely not! They're one of a kind
Thanks, guys! as said before, early "thrash"... lol... this was, I believe, "remade" by some 80's band... duh..
The Houston 1977 live version blows this rainbow 1974 out of the water, believe it or not! way faster than this one.
😂Please reaction Queen - Liar Live at the rainbow 🥺🥺😅🥰🙏
Queen fan here!!
FYI: Metallica covers this song, they do it really good , check it out:
Metallica Stone Cold Crazy ( Live Nimes 2009)
Australia 85 when their stage gear broke down for Machines and Radio Gaga
The only non A game performances that I am aware of are March 29, 1970 Freddie performed while drunk and forgot some words to Bo Rhap. and also in 1979 in Japan he had lost his voice and struggled a lot.
3/29/1976
Well just goes to show even the great Freddie could have an off night. He was human after all.
Queen in RIO misjudged the audience and Freddie started I want to break free in drag. The crowd booed him and he quickly defrocked.
Yea because they missed the significance of that particular song to the audience which was political. He misjudged it completely because he wouldn't know that. Was just having fun with it, which backfired big style.
There's completion videos of live bloopers out there, wrong notes, wrong words, slightly off tempo, Fred's voice cracking etc
I never subscribe anymore when there are more than one pause with Queen … pausing kills a QUEENIES soul 😔
If you're looking for an of performance, you'll have to dip into the bootleg stuff. There's plenty on You Tube. Himeji Japan in 1976,Freddie has a really off night
Stone cold crazy? Is that similar to a stoned hot drunk that thinks nickelback is good? Anyways no idea but I’ll watch the vid anyways
