- The Amount of talent on that stage is absolutely mind blowing! I hope you guys enjoy my reaction of Queen Save Me Live in Montreal.
Also, I have videos to upload but Im waiting for a few to get cleared as I don't react to anything twice and I don't fake reactions. We want to keep things as authentic as possible so you guys know the raw version of me.

#Queen #LiiteReacts - Розваги
The older I get, the more I appreciate the brilliance that was Freddie Mercury.
Amen, to you Sister Sally. I’m 64. I enjoyed Queen when I was younger, but sadly I took them for granted. Today I absolutely LOVE Queen. It’s not a nostalgia trip. I enjoy music of all types and eras. It’s just taken me a long time to realize Queen is the greatest band ever.
Agreed!
@@katehaynes5735 yup my freind from schools' brother used to listen to them and i wasn't even into music then ,... it passed me by ... even when i did get in it was mostly jazz and pop so i was late to find rock and even later to really appreciate freds' work
as you said ... truly "brilliant" , also visionary , inspiring , innovative and emotionally present
will be sorely missed , if only he were cherished whilst alive to the same degreee he is now , maybe , like a fine wine , the true measure of greatness only comes with time ...after you've been bottled
This foursome oozed talent. Pure genius. Their music still stands today.
They are also top graduates! Check their bio...
Freddie is a gift from God 💕
Yes
Taken from us much too soon.
That amount of talent on the stage......
Best description of queen ever!
They are all multi instrumentalists such an amazing band xx
Thanks, Liite! You may not have noticed that Brian had the guitar in his lap the entire time he was playing piano... he also wrote this song -- that transition from Brian on keys to guitar and Freddie back to keys is one of the smoothest ever -- I love this version of the song!
Several cups of beer, and other beverages, on the piano with only a couple of sips taken from them during a concert are kinda one of Freddie’s trademarks. Pretty sure he used beer just to wet his whistle cuz he also wanted tea with honey and water on the piano during concerts too. Sometimes he had glasses of champagne on the piano. I only saw Queen in concert a few times but I don’t remember Freddie ever emptying a cup of anything by drinking it, although he sometimes would toss water into the crowd or all over his own head when it got really hot. But especially given the amount of energy Freddie used in concert, I don’t think there’s any way he would get drunk from drinking a bunch of sips of beer while performing. And he certainly did not show any signs of being drunk in that concert. Thanks for doing Queen reactions!
It is tea with honey.
Thank You for clearing that up!
The only thing I DON'T like about the reactions to the live performances is that almost ALL youngsters refer to Freddy being drunk, when clearly he's not.
@@leeannsheridannicolai1806 It is does amazing how many people comment on ‘all the beer’ on the piano and until someone corrects them, they think Freddie was really boozing it up during concerts. I’ve read that when Queen first started, Freddie didn’t drink alcohol, smoke, or do any drugs due to his strict upbringing. But that gradually changed and eventually Freddie smoked and had vodka shots before, and sometimes during, concerts, along with the occasional beer. I’ve also read that cocaine was often involved too. And he liked to have champagne while in the studio, especially to celebrate when they were about to finish recording a song. And they say that the very shy bass player, John Deacon, drank the most alcohol of the 4 of them for concerts, and that he had a rather well-equipped traveling bar just off stage that he regularly frequented to calm his nerves. But out of the hundreds and hundreds of live performances, Freddie was visibly under the influence only a couple of times, which truly amazes me, all things considered. Compared to what many other bands were doing during the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, what Freddie consumed was close to nothing, but younger people don’t realize that cuz, I guess, tv and movies make them think that if a rock star drank or did drugs, they were useless and could not function as a live act musician, when the truth is that many of them did that (or do that) stuff just so they could (or can) function as a live performer, on stage, in front of tens of thousands of people. Freddie put a lot of pressure on himself to be as close to perfect as possible. I am not advocating drug use, but I can understand why he used them, under the circumstances. As Freddie’s career developed, and he learned more about how to keep his voice ready for the hours and hours of intense use while rehearsing and performing, especially while on tour, Freddie increased the amount of water he consumed and he always had tea with honey available on his piano. I think younger people simply see all of the somewhat random looking cups on the piano and they jump to the mistaken conclusion that Freddie performed drunk. They don’t realize what life was like before bottled water was available everywhere. Plus, the easy-to-take anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds in wide use today were not even available back then, either. And many also don’t realize that the concert or arena sponsors wanted lots of their cups with logos on stage as product placement/advertising (for example, Heineken at the ‘81 Montreal concert and Pepsi at Live Aid in ‘85.) As a baby boomer, I was at concerts where performers were occasionally too messed up from drugs to perform the entire set list. But I saw Freddie in concert a couple of times in SRO Queen concerts in the late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s, and each band member performed incredibly well and did not seem under the influence at all. In the presence of Queen, it never even occurred to me to wonder whether they were sober or what was in the cups on the piano. In fact, I don’t think I even noticed the cups on the piano-I was too caught up in their music and how incredible the performance was. I’m simply grateful that Freddie existed and that he shared his musical gifts with the world in my lifetime!
There is one performance in 1976 i think or 79 where he was drunk and he absolutely nailed Bohemian Rhapsody with alternate phrasings, proving that even when drunk he knew the limits of his voice in any situation.
When I watch a Queen reaction I notice the big smile that comes across the reactors face, it happens every time
You are such a sweet man and your happiness listening to Queen shines thru. Thanks for this lovely reaction.
Love your reactions to Queen....you said “this man is from another galaxy, he has his own planet”...that made me laugh out loud...would that planet be Mercury, by any chance?🤩
Zanzibar lost a young boy but the u.k and rest of the world gained 4 legends. I was 8 years old when I heard queen for very 1st time I could hear this music and screaming and cheering from my bedroom it was 1982 in my home town the bowl, Milton Keynes in the UK and queen was the very 1st music band to play at the bowl in Milton Keynes, uk and never heard the music before I didn't even know the band was until I went to school the following Monday and some of the kids was talking that there parents went to the concert. From that weekend I came a huge fan and 40 years on I never get bored with listening to there music I have to get my queen fix everyday queen is my drug. I even have a shrine as my kids call it I have a cockateil who I named Freddie I even have a replica of he's famous yellow jacket which I payed a lot of money for. My biggest regret in life I never got a chance to see the band in concert as was only 15 years old and just started my exams when Freddie passed away. Few weeks ago on the queen official yt they uploaded a video of unboxing a platinum vinyl for the first time of 6 beautiful colours disks on vinyl with a beautiful glossy book of photos and my son shocked me buy purchasing it for my birthday. My birthday was 11th June and was being released on 17th june and the first 2000 people who purchased the album set get a beautiful large image of there queen crest and my son was the 1175 person out of the 2000 to buy it for me. I absolutely love queen I can't listen to any other types of music and extremely hate hearing anyone else's trying to sing any of there music if not Freddie singing I never listen to it. Freddie lives on and always have a place in my heart ❤
With show time approaching, towels and drinks for the band’s refreshment on stage would now be strategically placed: water and beer for Fred, beer for Brian and Roger and the Backstage Bar for John, comprising water, beer, soft drinks, wine and whatever spirit or cocktail he fancied at the time: Southern Comfort, vodka or tequila.
- Peter Hince (aka Ratty), Fred’s and John’s roadie and head of Queen’s crew.
Music flows in his bloodstream and his heart pumps it through his body and out his mouth. No other way to explain how he moves and sings.
I love this Song so much, Dr. Brian May wrote this but Freddie gave another meaning when he's singing it, and he sings it beautifully💛 bless him🌹.
yes Queen is just simply Talented, they were so clever in that stage you can see from the very beginning while Dr.Bri playing the piano, he's guitar was just on his lap ready for his guitar solo and Freddie's singing and Hitting those high notes while running down on stairs. Just clever and smoothly flows together. Pure talent! Pure 4 genius in one stage!🤟👑
The song 'play the game' from the same concert is another great tune.
Thank you beautiful reaction love to see your face when Freddie let’s loose I’m so jealous you have so many amazing queen songs to look forward to try The prophet song and innuendo you will be blown away thanks take care x x
I love this song and I love Brian's touch on the piano. So sweet and gentle. Brian wrote this one, he was wearing his guitar while playing the piano. Thank you for your reaction.
Yes!
“Brian’s gonna play the piano in a minute, when he gets to it”
@@bettybaby63 Love that line!! So very Freddie.
Great reaction. Amazing song by Queen, as usual. Freddie's vocals, well, are breathtaking. Thank you, love your reactions.
Freddie can take any song written by anybody and make it his own. But please let's not forget the brilliance of the band as a whole. They were exquisite.
save me Freddie you beautiful human being, even Superman wears your t shirt love you Freddie
I have adored your reactions from the first one. You react the way I always expect people to react when they hear Queen for the first time. ❤️😍🤪😁😱 🔥🔥🎡🎈🎇🎊🎆🧨 👏👏Bravo, sir. 😁
Nice reaction... As always... Thanks a lot... Please react to "you take my breath away" live at Hyde Park... In my opinion it is Freddie's best vocal performance...
Love your reaction you know to value the Freddie's talent he is out if this world another galaxy so right keep going with queen amazing reaction 👏
I didn ´t know no one rock band which performed without alcohol in this era, many of them were far wilder then Queen. But Queen afterparties were legendary, grandiose, opulent and unique
Whenever you see Freddie pick up a cup from the piano it is always the one you can’t see what’s in it . Water 😂
I’ve missed your Queen reaction videos! As always, your smile and love for Queen are fantastic! Save Me is one of my favorites from the band.
It makes me so happy that you see what influence has freddie's voice and performance on people because his talent sometimes makes feel that he is not human God music like your reaction
You cannot help but love the original Queen-- God bless Freddie- I miss him so--
If you love Freddie’s soft tone, love of my life from this show is amazing!
My melancholy blues is another great one in Freddie’s repertoire.
Freddie says a moment earlier, Brian’s gonna play the piano…”
Love how they start.
dude you're watching Queen live on stage we're gonna be buzzing off you loving the vocals, don't worry
I get chills every time I hear this song.
Takes me back over 40 years to when I got to hear this live, in person, at Madison Square Garden in September 1980.
Great song that didn't get a lot of airplay, there were a few others on this album that did.
It's fitting this was the last cut on the record.
For future reference Queen was a group who every member, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, each wrote at least one number 1 hit song.
Because the studio version was too soft. Freddie didn't use his voice to its full.
Opening tight Brian on keys… w Red special on his back, ready for solo! Freddie jumps back to keys! It’s all magical ❤
This is definitely a favorite, this song is amazing.
Queen! The best band ever. Legends each one. Queen, Legendary Band!
I love his ballads. You must hear "Time"
Freddie was a massive talent, and it’s true the good die young, 45, would have been 76 this year, what a legacy, has lived on in spirit
Thanks for this "deep dive" from QUEEN! I really love the enthusiasm you show during your reactions. Others just kind of "mail it in". P.S. "YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY", from Hyde Park concert is a real jaw dropper! ☮
No. He’s not drunk. Lol. There’s always one beer on the piano but it’s lucky if he takes one sip. His assistant said he always prepared 4 cups of warm water with honey and lemon. Freddie had chronic vocal cord issues and it helped him during the 2 hour concerts when they were on tour.
Please react to the full live Bohemian Rhapsody live in Montreal 1981. You didn’t do the live entire song.
Also Play the Game live in Montreal 1981 was awesome. Working you up to the best concert ever which was Live at Wembley 1986-Saturday 7/12(they did 2 nights there because of sell out)
So glad you’re back! I was just wondering today when I would see another Queen reaction. Love it!!!
I have that whole concert on DVD and Live Aid. Both are incredible. Well of course they are everything Queen did with Freddie was amazing 🤩 😍. He should react to the whole Montreal Concert.
@@bethy82_bookworm47 yes and the Wembley 1986
Good to see You back, & Your
Love of Queen,... & Your Lovely
Smile❤🙏
You really need to react to the two best vocal performances of all time: the show must go on and in my defense
They make it look so easy true professionals.
Now please react to The Show Must Go On. Talk about vocal performance, he was too sick to stand up when he recorded it. Brian told him he didn't need to go through with it and he just knocked back a vodka and said let's fucking do it.
I love Freddie so much
He's the most incredible beautiful showman to ever walk this earth our Freddie the legend there will never be another ❤
You did it! Thank you! I knew you would love it. An amazing vocal and that trade off between Brian and Freddie is crazy good (Brian is playing the piano with his guitar on his lap)! Ok, I'm excited to think what I'll recommend next. I do think you'd like Under Pressure live at Wembley with an extended ay-oh segment with the crowd before the song. Love the hat :)
I would love to see your reactions to DRAGON ATTACK live and COOL CAT lyric video
One of my FAVORITE Freddie performances. Check out “In My Defence”. It will blow u away
Yes, yes, yes, please do. It gives me chills every single time. 🔥
The second best vocal performance ever not only by Freddie just of all time
Great reaction again ! Love when you do Queen ! thx
Loved your reaction, thanks!
Wow 🥰 loved it 😍 love Freddie Mercury's ballads ❤️ please more queen reactions 🤩
You will see Brian's guitar slung over his shoulder whilst he plays the piano !! Talent x
And a new Queen fan is born. Love It. ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Please take a look at Freddie’s “In My Defence”. It will blow you away!
You're back, that's great, I love your reactions. I recommend You take my breath away, but the official video, so you can appreciate Freddie's skill. All the choirs are done by the solo and the lyrics of the song are beautiful.
Live, (since it came first) then Official. Double whammy!!!! We love 2 for 1 reactions 😉 I love both versions SO much. Great suggestion. 👍
I love your smile watching Freddie! We all get it!
I love watching these reaction videos and seeing the joy and smiles queen puts on people's faces
Thank you Liite, love watching you enjoy Queen. Good to see you smile. Peace.
You can find only one video on the UA-cam where Freddie was really drunk live. It happened in Japan in their early years that they were playing the Bohemian Rhapsody, but Freddie totally forgot a part of his own lyrics 😁 and he mumbled some meaningless words while he was playing the piano flawlessly. 🤣 I hope you will be back soon with another Queen reaction.
Muito...Muito bom....o melhor banda de todos os tempos...👏👏❤❤❤❤🙏🇧🇷
Gracias por la reccion, excelente!!👌👑💫✨
They are wonderful all of them. I've never heard a better band.
I love your reactions! You know your ⌚ ng a great band when you realize you aren't breathing. Your holding your breath so you don't miss anything! It was truly an experience when you went to one of their concerts. Amazing!!! Freddie wasn't with us very long, but them impact was tremendous! 💖
Freddie was very professional and so committed to giving the fans the best show every time they hit the stage that he only ever did one show drunk and it was an accident lol a friend came to visit when they were touring in Australia and he got day drunk by mistake lol he would just have a few beers, vodka & tonics, and early grey tea & honey on his piano to sooth his throat during shows. He used to even quit partying and smoking on tours to preserve his voice. He was just that committed to making sure his fans got a good show and had a good time! He loved his fans as much as they loved him!
I've been following your channel since you heard Queen the first time.
Freddie is my generation. One of a kind, never to be repeated. I am glad they did the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It just brought in another generation to this man. Yes, in my generation Alchol on the stage was normal.
Wow the greatest live performer ever 😢 great vid sir. Love from the UK. Subscribed
If you rewatch the video, Brian has his guitar on his knee as he plays the piano.
Hay there your s right about Freddie'ssoft tone it just makes my heart fill with emotion truly a legend
Please do Dragon Attack live Montreal 🇮🇪
have you ever just closed your eyes, and let this music fill you up?
Loved your reaction to the piano switch..Brilliant..haha..it was good yeah..
I know you say that you don't read comments on UA-cam but this is all that I do as a 77 year old great grandmother. It is a pleasure to watch you react to Queen and Pentatonix. You obviously love music. I do too. FYI Queen's members were equally talented in their contributions. Each of the four members all wrote at least one #1 hit. If you Google Queen's hits--look at the writer. Their portfolio is awesome and many of these songs are used in commercials today. "Who Wants to Live Forever?" was written for the movie "The Immortal". Queen also wrote the score for "Flash Gordon" movie. Exquisite talent. Be well. I hope you see this.
Performances like these are why Queen is my favourite band, all four of them have unmeasurable talent
I think you're great, just wanted you to know that you are a lovely human being. Love your shows. Love from Scotland x
I think Freddie is the #1 frontman of all time…yes he’s the GOAT for stagecraft! 🥰❤️ RIP Freddie.
I love watching you watch Queen! Your love for music is infectious! I only follow you on UA-cam, because that is all I have. I'm old. Please review as many of their songs as you can. I will be watching. PS Whatever was going on in your life, I hope it is all resolved. You seem like a beautiful person and I hope life is good to you. *peace*
We were so spoilt guys.
My 2 year grandson now singing every queen song I can teach him He absolutely loves them
He’s now shouting at Alexa to play Freddie mercury
Just doing my bit to keep the legend alive
Happy 2023 everyone xxx 😗
QUEEN ROCKS ❤
And this at a time when there were no computers, no auto-tune, and no in ear monitors just to name a few. The bands from that era like Queen and Journey, Styx ext. we will never see the like again.
I enjoyed your reaction as much as I love this band
He's doing this drunk, you said, probably not drunk, just oiling the vocal chords. It's a well known fact that before the Live Aid concert, Freddie had a sore throat, but several large vodkas back stage before he went on, sustained him through the 20 min set. Although there is alcohol on the piano, there is also lemon water, again for the vocal chords, this is what he throws over the crowd at the beginning of Under Pressure live at Wembley. Great reaction as always my friend, just wish you'd put more content on YT.
Great reaction to the talent ☺️☺️☺️
This is what musicians should do; pour their heart out which makes the crowd in turn pour theirs out. Yeah me of my favorites
Listen to "You’re my best friend ". The riff is the bass. John Deacon was also FANTASTIC. All of them were.
Please react to The Show Must Go On!
Queen-You Take My Breath Away (Official Lyric Video)
I subscribed to you because of your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody. Well commented and pure happy emotion. Freddy M. and Queen, the music world is richer because of you.
yessss!!! love ur queen reactions! please do more of them, been waiting for months! keep it up!
You have a great smile and you enjoy these performances just like I do, it's great!
Give me that adorable smile
"It's a beautiful day" should be coming up on your list, yeah
You should react to another one bites the dust from the same concert, where Freddie has also had a costume change: ua-cam.com/video/NVIbCvfkO3E/v-deo.html , it will also be another very famous song that you wouldn’t of realised was a queen song!!
It's all about the costume change ;)
my fave queen song
Freddie never was drunk on stage. He was a professional to the core. He did have some beer, but mostly tea with Lemon and Honey for his voice and suchlike. He' d never risk burping. Deaky otoh did have a fully stocked Cocktailbar nearby, lol. They are a Rockband, after all.
well, there was that time in Osaka 3/29/79 & maybe the one in Auckland 1985
You want your mind blown then watch Queen live aid. Best and famous 20min concert ever.
Brian and Rodger said it’s tea and honey for his voice
Tea on piano. Beer makes him burp so he doesn’t drink it or just takes a sip. The guitar is on Brian’s lap while he plays the piano
Freddie was genius..he had a God given gift..Together with Brian, Roger and John they were the greatest most talented band ever.. Freddie is still missed ...
Little, you’ve got to react to Freddie singing “love of my life”. Only Brian on acoustic while Freddie & crowd sing. Very touching.
Its been said that Freddie ALWAYS kept tea and honey on the piano
For his voice
Brian admitted after Freddie passed that he wrote this song about Freddie Mercury when his relationship with Joe Fanelli ended
hi i love that u found and love queen i was at a green day concert at hyde park in london in 2017 and before the band came on they made the mistake of putting bohemian rhapsody on as background music as they were backstage, to a uk crowd lol, and the whole crowd sung the whole song in unison it was amazing there is an excellent video of it u need to check it out its amazing.
This is my favorite.
A wonderful reaction from you, never a band I aspired to, being more of the Prog Rock genre, but a Band we Brits were proud of. The guys in this band were amazing with their complexity and style, and Freddie's voice will never be matched in my lifetime. To know that Brian May has a P.hd in Astrophysics only compounds their enigma. Try listening to some Prog Rock....especially YES (Close to the Edge) I think you will like it.
