You talk like Freddie was some underground indie artist. Whilst I agree Led Zeppelin is legendary, Queen are not some underground band either. Queen are a mainstream rock act, and, dare I say this, more popular than LZ. I love both bands equally, but saying things like 'Freddie would be proud of what he has achieved' is undermining how popular he really was.
Plant payed perfect homage to Freddie with this rendition. He didn't try to steal any spotlight and make it about himself. He sung it the way he normally would in his own voice. Very classy of him and the band.
I guess I may be totally alone here, but I happen to think that Freddie, Bob, and Jimmy were far above John and Paul. Yet, that’s just me and imho. However, I’m always the lone “not really a Beatles fan, more of an Elvis, B.B., Chuck, and JLL fan”. Again, just me, not to diminish anything The Beatles accomplished, but if given the choice, I’d much rather jam to Led Zep. 🤷🏻♀️
Keetonplace, Are you serious? Freddie said Robert Plant was his favourite singer, Roger said John Bonham was his favourite drummer and the best, and Brian is always praising Jimmy Page. In the early days the press thought Queen were just a Led Zeppelin wannabe band. Innuendo is a complete homage to Kashmir.
Freddie Mercury said Paul Rodgers was his favourite vocalist of all time in terms of Zeppelin and queen I don't see any comparison both totally different styles of Rock
I was there. A young 21 year old. When we got home in the early hours of the morning, instead of going to bed, we watched it all again as we set the video player to record it. We tried to pick ourselves out in the crowd, but the camera angles meant we were just out of shot ! However, we did see my girlfriend's hand in frame for about 2 seconds , she was on my shoulders holding a banner up.🤣
If the lead singer of a monstrous, legendary rock band called Led Zeppelin comes to pay tribute by singing one of your songs, then you've made an indelible mark in rock music. You'll never be forgotten, Mr. Mercury!
+Cindy Holmes +Serzh Doom But I was speaking from the standpoint of seniority. Led Zeppelin came before Queen (even though it was only by three or so years) and also Zeppelin was more hard rock, Queen was of a more operatic and progressive tone. Still they're legends in their own right, but when the most emulated rock vocalist of all time pays homage to Freddie Mercury who, in my book, is one of the most underrated vocalists of all time, I just think that speaks volumes. It's mad respect on Plant's part that he was a part of this concert.
3:04 EARGASM What I love about Plant, he still always maintain his original style, and he's singing Queen songs. He was able to sing it in his fashion. And I really love his version as well.
I agree and I don't mean Robert Plant any disrespect in the slightest but if you watch this whole show, all the guests did Queen songs that sounded like their own style. Crazy Little Thing could have been a Honey Drippers song if we are honest so it was a perfect choice for him to sing it. It really is a tribute to the people who matched it all up, and of course to Queen and ultimately Freddie who needed 20 or so musical masters to cover his repertoire. Plant did a fine job even if it wasn't a huge stylistic stretch. It wasn't meant to be. This was Freddie's day...the songs were meant to conjure his memory. And he did it perfectly.
Robert is clearly enjoying himself, but then who wouldn't in that atmosphere with those incredible musicians playing behind you? One of the real highlights of the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for me.
Well Robert said he had to sing the song in a different key because he wasn't capable of singing it live in the key Freddie would have he said that shows the vocal range Freddie possessed
Just plain, honest, handmade music! No autotune, no overdubs, no DJ, no light speed metal shredding, no fire fountains….just pure and joyful music! Great!
The only person I trust to sing Freddie's songs besides another member of Queen. Robert's voice is so smooth and clear whenevr he sings, he just has so much rythym and no matter how he puts a twist to something he makes it sound like it was meant to sound that way. He is a legend.
Why is everyone arguing? Obviously this is a Queen song so OBVIOUSLY the best version is with Mercury. If Mercury ever performed a Led Zeppelin song, it’s would not be NEAR as good as Plant singing it himself. What An amazing performance by Plant here!
Robert Plant and Freddie met one night and they both went to Freddie's home and talked for hours, about every thing they could think of. He really admired Freddie and wished he'd had time to get to know him better. Also, who is that IDIOT who keeps laughing at Robert Plant and saying he's gay. Obviously someone who knows nothing about Plant. He and his wife have been married since they were 20. They traveled all over together. When they started having children (they had 6) she stayed home with them. They lost a son, which devastated them both. But she understood his need to travel and learn other kinds of music. She kept the home-fires burning in the lovely home he provided for them and he goes home as often as he can. He loves his wife and adores his children, who are now all grown. He is not gay, and even if he was, what is your problem? Sounds to me like YOU are the one who's in the closet.
Those, "OOOhhhhhhh , yeaahhhh" at the end is soooo mind-blowing. A signature Robert Plant sound from Led Zep in a Queen song. Simply mind-blowing. Yes, you are "incomparable" Robert Plant. He's so humble that he didn't even linger on stage. He's so self-aware that this was for Freddie, Queen, and their charity.
I am a Filipina lives in the Philippines love to listen and viewed all the footage of queen i love it. To all the guys of Queen band who left you are not alone reminiscing the memories I salute you for an spectacularly renditions of the passed you made a memorable era at your TIMES as well today and forever .CONGRATULATIONS!
Very unpopular opinion, but this will forever be my favourite version of that song, especially since it begins with the incomperable "If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you" sung by one of the greatest voices in modern music history. Ps Robert Plant has a much richer vintage RNB - classic rock & roll tone to his voice, that revives the song to the place where it truly belongs.
I knew as soon as I saw the video title, this would be good. This song was Freddie channeling Elvis. Plant did that on a track from Zep's last studio album, _In Through The Out Door._ Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/QOLTwt-bqoU/v-deo.html
He was the youngest member of the band and extremely shy. Freddy took him under his wing and looked out for him. According to Brian and Roger, John was devastated when Freddy died.
Vern Hoke They all were! They loved Freddie regardless of any negative comments. Yes, Deacon was hit really bad but they all loved Freddie! I mean. Really! As Freddie would say...
With all due respect, i know Robert beats him at singing, but I think as a frontman I would put Mick Jagger up against anyone. Also (in his prime) Roger Daltrey.
My favorite part of this is after Plant sings "because" and Brian starts the beginning strums of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and the crowd breaks into applause, watch Roger's face. It absolutely LIGHTS UP in this ear splitting teeth showing grin. I love it every time I watch it.
May was just a good guitarist. There was no megastar In the group except Freddie . Unlike, say, Led Zeppelin, where three out of four were the best in their roles for all times and nations in rock history
John Deacon's Sad Face, Roger Taylor wearing the "Glasses" to hide his Tears and the Gloomy Shaking Guitar play by Brian May, showed the True Love they all had and "still have" for their Friend, Brother and the Greatest Front-Man - Freddie Mercury. Guess, that's ONE LOVE to be inspired with. Freddie - You are watching from above - "The Show (Must) Will Go On".
Wasn’t even 5 months since Freddie’s passing. This whole event would have taken an extraordinary amount of effort to pull off. Meaning... the guys hadn’t even begun to grieve. This must have been so hard!!! x
@@alanahclaire6494 I clearly hear both Roger and Brian, brian' voice was softer but I have listened to brian screaming in several songs, listen to brian singing tie your mother down in this same concert and you will see.
He's not dead just not currently in Queen - those 70s and 60s bands and even those 80s bands are all nearing the end of the road sadly, such is life I guess. They will never be topped.
Queen and Led Zeppelin are so similar in a way. Both legendary bands who's songs are as relevant today as when they were released. Bands that consisted of four extremely talented individuals, who lost an irreplaceable member and that ended the band. In fact, the four of both bands were so connected musically and even as friends (in Queen), that any other member wouldn't have done it. It was either those four or the band was over. Also in both bands their bassists were underappreciated, yet contributed as much as the rest three. Robert Plant singing live with Queen was something very special. It wasn't just another frontman star singing with them. Something happened, there was a strong chemistry there. Amazing rendition, loved it!
I thought it was amazing that Robert was singing like his own song. And it is impressive that Brian is playing the guitar with a very satisfied expression.
I think he'd have been absolutely proud of all of them, especially his bandmates. I can't imagine how hard this was to pull off...their biggest performance since losing him.
It's gonna be very difficult to see something like this again, I doubt it too much.. this was incredible and perfect, I'm really sure the Freddie tribute in 1992, maybe was one of the most important event all times, just talking about a massive rock concert.
Yes it was. The George Harrison tribute concert was pretty special to if you haven't seen it, I can recommend it. Can't understand why something on this scale couldn't have been done for Bowie.
Never have I seen better audience than there.... Wish I could be there. Wish even more that this never happened but Freddie was a 73-year rocking mustached queen destroying stadiums nowadays. Aaaah, dreams....
Yanslee Freddie would probably be bald with an eyebrow ring today 😂. He was starting to lose his hair in the mid 80’s. You could see a bald spot forming on the top of his head during live aid.
Always loved the way Robert sings on stage. He always takes his signature pose, maybe raise his hands a little. But always, ALWAYS, he feels the song to the maximum and gives his best. What a singer and frontman he is and Freddie was!
Robert Plant is so amazing I don't know what to say and Brian May one of the most underrated guitarists ever and it's so great that all these great rock stars came out and honored the great legendary Freddy Mercury
I've been a fan of Queen for the better part of my life. If Robert Plant is willing to appear on stage with your band and perform, then you know you did something right.
John Deacon is still very close with his ex- band mates. He is savvy with finances and is in charge of the bands accounting. Queen were ripped off in the past and they only trust Mr. Deacon now.
This is beautiful and genuine. Just enjoy it! I'm so grateful for being able to watch this. So emotional! All these people enjoying music together and honoring Freddie with so much love and respect. It leaves me speechless!
The way some people here talks about Robert plant is disgusts BTW Freddie Mercury was influenced by Robert Plant & in interview Freddie said R Plant his favorite singer I love both Led Zeppelin and Queen,
Anyway Robert is much better singer than Freeddie. Lz has great songs and was very influential in Rock music, Heavy metal forerunners and Queen was an average rock band, though influential in Heavy metal . His opera-rock music was a litte bored . The greatest band of all time was The Beatles without any discussion.
Paddy Zammit--Dammit Paddy, your WRONG! This was a good fit for Plant. I think he sounded good, & was very sexy W/ that Elvis hip thing. I saw LED ZEPPELIN when I was 14 yrs. old. Then Queen when I was 18 yrs old. Both were incredible!
what a fantastic live performance. legends of rock. imagine a show where all the best hangout and sing each other's songs. queen was pumped to play with Plant and vice versa.
Crazy Little Thing Called Whole Lotta Love
Yeah at the end there Queen did their own tribute to Robert's old band....

Robert Plant singing one of Queen’s best songs. How can anyone dislike this!
I mean even Robert didn’t like his own performance. I think he did okay tho.
I think it's from people who didn't know Robert plant
I mean, Robert Planr is Robert Plant, but Freddie Mercury WAS Freddie Mercury!!!
I remember watching this broadcast on Muchmusic that day!! What a massive event for music fans!
I think Plant did a decent job of this!👍
In this case is good. Probably the same people that are still más with his Innuendo performance. I don't know
If Freddie saw him sing for his tribute he would be proud of what he has achieved.

Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant are the two most iconic singers Great Britain has produced since John and Paul.
Yet Freddie is really in a class by himself as a singer/entertainer.
Steve Marriott
Freddie and Robert are so far ahead of Paul and John its like asking , who run second? , no one cares.
You have to put Mick Jagger in the same camp. Everybody knows Mick Jagger’s voice that’s a very , iconic voice.

The fact that Queen uses Led Zeppelin as their inspiration during their early years and then performing with Plant is just amazing to me
When did Queen use Zeppelin as an inspiration?

I had the honour of watching this live. I'll never forget.

Jagger can’t hold a candle to Mercury or Plant. Maybe in popularity, but their voices blow Jagger away
There aren't many people who could step into Freddie Mercury's shoes and pull this off. Robert Plant is one of those few. Great job!
I think they had the same vocal range, although used in different ways.

great!

OMG. Gods meeting! Robert honoring Freddie with the song Mercury wrote as a tribute to Elvis. Amazing and iconic moment. I kind of LOVE it
Robert is clearly enjoying himself, but then who wouldn't in that atmosphere with those incredible musicians playing behind you?
One of the real highlights of the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for me.
Thank you Robert for paying tribute to Freddie!!!
Thank you Queen for letting Robert play tribute to Freddie.
One great vocalist praising another one.
Well Robert said he had to sing the song in a different key because he wasn't capable of singing it live in the key Freddie would have he said that shows the vocal range Freddie possessed

Both Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury loved Elvis the original Rock 'N'Roll Superstar!!
Thank you Mr. Robert Plant for honoring Mr. Freddie Mercury !! Class acts Zep and Queen!!
Led Zeppelin and Queen, I will never get sic and tired of their music. Great rock legends.
Why is everyone arguing? Obviously this is a Queen song so OBVIOUSLY the best version is with Mercury. If Mercury ever performed a Led Zeppelin song, it’s would not be NEAR as good as Plant singing it himself. What An amazing performance by Plant here!
They did. Immigrant song at Wembley. It showed what an exceptional vocalist plant is
@@scottmcqueen2893 they played the immigrant Song in Berlin 86 and not in Wembley sorry for my bad englich.
Somebody gets it!!! No point in comparing. It's not comparable really. No other band has been really successful doing Led Zeppelin songs well.

Damn I'm just thinking about how lucky the audience is to be present there. Hell of a concert.
John Deacon's Sad Face, Roger Taylor wearing the "Glasses" to hide his Tears and the Gloomy Shaking Guitar play by Brian May, showed the True Love they all had and "still have" for their Friend, Brother and the Greatest Front-Man - Freddie Mercury. Guess, that's ONE LOVE to be inspired with. Freddie - You are watching from above - "The Show (Must) Will Go On".
I also noticed that Brian's solo sounds so gloomy
FreakyPH It’s noticeable in the bohemian rhapsody solo. He has less gain and less sustain, and more chorus, and it sounds almost shaky.

@@masterofpuppets6879 both made excellent music
Love both of them
so true
Saw them both 😉
@@masterofpuppets6879 Not really, especially not in Plant's younger days. He started losing it right toward the end of Zeppelin.
Queen and Led Zeppelin are so similar in a way. Both legendary bands who's songs are as relevant today as when they were released. Bands that consisted of four extremely talented individuals, who lost an irreplaceable member and that ended the band. In fact, the four of both bands were so connected musically and even as friends (in Queen), that any other member wouldn't have done it. It was either those four or the band was over. Also in both bands their bassists were underappreciated, yet contributed as much as the rest three. Robert Plant singing live with Queen was something very special. It wasn't just another frontman star singing with them. Something happened, there was a strong chemistry there. Amazing rendition, loved it!
The song was an Elvis Tribute...and Plant loves Elvis....so it was a perfect match..........
Ready Freddie?
Ready Freddie?
Ready Freddie?
Do you want me to cry...?
The intro is so Led Zeppelin, amazing
@@minosannino3955 extremely obvious. Great disc.
True friends
It's Thank You
@@solsol1624 at least somebody else besides me knows that. Thank You is the most beautiful song ever written. I’ll fight anybody on that
@@cjm-jr9xk agreed. Tangerine, going to califorina, rain song right up there too
A compliment from a god to another. Beautiful, just beautiful.
A perfect marriage between two of my all time favorite bands/singers. I love this soooo much.
I love how Plant had his arms up in the air like Freddie would. Awesome 5:12
Robert was doing that move before Freddie
He was doing that long before Freddie. Freddie made it iconic.
I thought it was amazing that Robert was singing like his own song. And it is impressive that Brian is playing the guitar with a very satisfied expression.
Freddie is smiling down on the great Robert Plant. well done brotha.
Fantastic performance.
3:21
Robert does with Brian the same thing he did with Jimmy, it’s so amazing, i’m crying-
I'm pretty sure Freddie's spirit was there, egging everybody on.
"Come on you lovelies, do me proud!"
Yes that's exactly how he would have said 😊
I think he'd have been absolutely proud of all of them, especially his bandmates. I can't imagine how hard this was to pull off...their biggest performance since losing him.
It's gonna be very difficult to see something like this again, I doubt it too much.. this was incredible and perfect, I'm really sure the Freddie tribute in 1992, maybe was one of the most important event all times, just talking about a massive rock concert.
it was a great event... an I was there
Oh man really?, you're a lucky guy!, I congratulate to you a lot.
Yes it was. The George Harrison tribute concert was pretty special to if you haven't seen it, I can recommend it. Can't understand why something on this scale couldn't have been done for Bowie.
Never have I seen better audience than there.... Wish I could be there. Wish even more that this never happened but Freddie was a 73-year rocking mustached queen destroying stadiums nowadays. Aaaah, dreams....
Yanslee Freddie would probably be bald with an eyebrow ring today 😂. He was starting to lose his hair in the mid 80’s. You could see a bald spot forming on the top of his head during live aid.
Always loved the way Robert sings on stage. He always takes his signature pose, maybe raise his hands a little. But always, ALWAYS, he feels the song to the maximum and gives his best. What a singer and frontman he is and Freddie was!
I believe that if Freddie saw this concert, he would have loved it. God Bless You Freddie, we still love you.
I love Robert's face in min 01:46, like saying: "I was just teasing you guys, let's do a song by Queen".
"Avengers is the most awesome crossover event ever"
Me:
Ryan Brown I fucking love this comment
I was thinking about the word "crossover" as well. Nothing is as mind-blowing as THIS. NOTHING else!!!
Oh yes
elton john and axl rose was even better
@@nicknickbon22 No.
Robert plant ,Freddie mercury , Steven tyler . Defination of true Rockstar Vocalists !
Robert Plant respected the history of Freddie and Queen beeing himself: Robert Plant. And he showed how Rock and Roll is. Bravo Robert.
Brian May said it all - "The incomparable Robert Plant"
He was the elite, VIP guest.
Terence Dempsey his voice is beautiful, both normal and his high pitch
Terence Dempsey Freddie fan who is unable to see the quality in anyone else’s voice. And also, did you watch the video??????
Idiot - was he "SCREAMING" then? No, and it's called "WAILING"...and millions love it...
Look at that crowd at 3:25!!!! Freddie was looking down smiling from ear to ear!
What an amazing tribute saying "thank you" to Freddie and then the interlude of "Ready Freddie " is just a home run. And Daltry on fire as always.
The two greatest bands of all time played together just blows your mind
Robert Plant is so amazing I don't know what to say and Brian May one of the most underrated guitarists ever and it's so great that all these great rock stars came out and honored the great legendary Freddy Mercury
Robert Plant: O legenda vie,te trec fiorii.O voce din alta galaxie.Numai Freddie l-a putut egală.Doi zei.❤
Just so fantastic! Plant's just one of a handful of singers who could sit in for Freddy. Fascinating!
I've been a fan of Queen for the better part of my life. If Robert Plant is willing to appear on stage with your band and perform, then you know you did something right.
john deacon the world misses you. come back
well john deacon was very shock by Freddy's dead and he said queen dies with freddy and he wouldn't play anymore
And he is right, roger & brian are earning money with freddie 's grave
I think that the show must go on :/
John Deacon is still very close with his ex- band mates. He is savvy with finances and is in charge of the bands accounting. Queen were ripped off in the past and they only trust Mr. Deacon now.
Gustavo....I imagine If Freddie could talk to the remaining Queen members he tell'em to play and make all the cash they can...why wouldn't he ??
Robert is perfect for this song.
Man I hope Freddie was up there somewhere watching this..he’d have been loving every minute of it!
For me, it always will be one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking moments in rock-n-roll history. Robert did so well. Makes me cry every time.
For me this was the absolute best part of this concert. Queen thrives on a killer frontman and Robert Plant provides.
John Deacon looked so sad and uncomfortable performing here. We miss you, Deacy 💕
Yeah :( like "Freddie's gone why I'm here playing?"
Vampire Luph why do you miss John deacon?
He always looked uncomfortable on stages.
@@ayhamshaheed7740 he left the band years ago
didnt know that this actually happend. WOW!!! Best rock vocalist covered by a rock GOD. Mindblowing!
This is beautiful and genuine. Just enjoy it! I'm so grateful for being able to watch this. So emotional! All these people enjoying music together and honoring Freddie with so much love and respect. It leaves me speechless!
The way some people here talks about Robert plant is disgusts
BTW Freddie Mercury was influenced by Robert Plant & in interview Freddie said R Plant his favorite singer
I love both Led Zeppelin and Queen,
He never said Robert was his favourite singer. He said that he admired him. He always said that Aretha Franklin was his favourite singer.
Anyway Robert is much better singer than Freeddie. Lz has great songs and was very influential in Rock music, Heavy metal forerunners and Queen was an average rock band, though influential in Heavy metal . His opera-rock music was a litte bored . The greatest band of all time was The Beatles without any discussion.
hwearrow are you saying that this performance was actually better than Freddie if so you are delusional this was terrible
@@hwearrow stfu queen an average band? Queen have swam through genres and mastered every one of it.
Paddy Zammit--Dammit Paddy, your WRONG! This was a good fit for Plant. I think he sounded good, & was very sexy W/ that Elvis hip thing. I saw LED ZEPPELIN when I was 14 yrs. old. Then Queen when I was 18 yrs old. Both were incredible!
The Best Rendition Ever sang by The Legend to a Legend...Hands down and Respect!!!!
Robert looks so happy at this concert look at that sea of fans no wonder he loves the stage~ Shine on Robert
i love that bass ❤️❤️ john deacon - bass legend
John Paul jones better
There's one in every crowd...it's not a competition and not betterPERIOD
Callum wood This is not a tribute to Led Zepplin. Stop comparing them to Queen. you scmuck.
John ❤❤❤❤
I Love you Robert Plant
what a fantastic live performance. legends of rock. imagine a show where all the best hangout and sing each other's songs. queen was pumped to play with Plant and vice versa.
A song written about a god (Elvis) Originally sang by a god (freddie) A Tribute from the greatest singer and frontman of all time (Plant) Wow
Elvis was dead as Freddie wrote this song! Freddie is an author!
@@zoerhineland5183 its about elvis
@@bigrhcpguy1958 it was Freddie's tribute to Elvis
@@zoerhineland5183 ik
A tribute from another God
Thank you Robert Plant for the most beautiful and epic opening into Freddie’s song you nailed
