RIP Freddie Mercury ❤ who passed away in 1991 at the age of 45 from AIDS. The best vocalist and frontman ever, all 4 members were the best, and together, oomph. THE BEST BAND ever. Intelligent, diversified, musical wonders, together for 21 years of awesome music and the best LIVE performers ever. Masters of music in every way.
I was at this concert as a young 24 year old ,now as a 63 year old I still listen to queen daily thet really are the greatest band ever in my eyes and in Freddie they had the greatest showman ever. It was said many years later that for 22 minutes in 1985 the uk was ruled by another queen. Please keep the queen reactions coming, literally anything from their 1986 Wembley concert 0r their 1981 montreal concert will blow your mind , the best live band ever.
1.5 billion people watched this live,you need to watch all their live shows.No auto tune all his voice,I love watching the young hear them for the first time!
I was there that day in 1985 as a 15yr old pop music lover... I left that day as a convert to rock music, thanks mainly to Freddie & Co... You need to remember that this was NOT a Queen concert or even a Queen audience, in fact they were a last minute addition to the line up. That said for 22 minutes that afternoon Freddie had close to 73,000 people in Wembley and almost 1.9 billion watching on TV globally eating out of the palm of his hand. David Bowie followed Queen that day and was in the wings when they came off stage and apparently said to Freddie something along the lines of "thanks you b'stard, how am I supposed to follow that?"😂😂 I was lucky enough to see them again the following year on their "Magic" tour, Status Quo opened for them (BONUS) and Queen certainly didn't disappoint. I'm now a 55yr old woman who's been to 300ish live rock concerts over the years, everyone from Guns n Roses to ACDC to Uriah Heep, Meatloaf, Status Quo, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi (48 times 😂), The Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry) to H.I.M and the 69 Eyes.. but that 22 minutes right there is still by far the best 22 minutes of live greatness EVER! And one show that has never left my memory! God bless you Freddie and Thank you for the music.. RIP you legend 👑👑👑
@Taylorswiftfan13308 what can I say... I just love music and especially Bon Jovi.. I've travelled all over the UK and a couple of shows in Europe... Bearing in mind that 48 shows is over a 40 year period xx
72,000 people in attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world, which was 0:030:03 1/4 of the world at that time. Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection. Live Aid made 140, million dollars for famine in Africa. When the boys left the stage, a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million
When the tickets went on sale...Queen was not signed up to be in this concert. They were signed up after the tickets sold out! The crowd were not all Queen fans...till they took the stage!!!! You might like "Another one bites the dust!"
Thanks so much for your fantastic Queen reaction! You must to react Under pressure (Wembley 86) Somebody to love (Montreal 81) Another one bites the dust (Wembley or Montreal) Fat bottom girls (Milton Keynes 82) Don't stop me now (official video)... just for start..lol Big hug from this huge Queen fan! 🎉
The music of Queen will be heard and loved forever! 💙👑🫶🕊 Edit: I've been a Queen for almost 50 yrs and you know more Queen songs than you think.......A lot more. 😅
This is such a great set. I love this and have seen it so many times but each time I feel like I am right there in the crowd. Thank you for your reaction. Lead Singer: Freddie Mercury Guitar: Sir Dr. Brian May, Bass:John Decon, Drums: Roger Taylor. Freddie was backing out the cameraman. Freddie liked to use the whole stage and the cameras were crowding him. The crowd for this show was sold out at 72,000, not Queen's largest crowd by a long shot but as much as this stadium would hold. Set List: Bohemian Rhapsody (Mercury), Radio Ga-Ga (Taylor), Hammer To Fall (May), Crazy LIttle Thing Called Love (Mercury), We Will Rock You (May), We Are The Champions (Mercury)
Crowd size: one of their biggest was in S. America, which multi country tour they finished just 6 weeks before this, with estimated well over 200,000 people.
@@sharonhalliday3180 Yes. Roger said that each night at Rock In Rio they had around 300,000 people in attendance. They had around 150,000 at their Hyde Park show and that was years before.
72,000 people at Wembley. No sound check before going on, and the crowd were not all Queen fans (lots of other acts performing on the day) yet Freddie Mercury commanded them all! Freddie had a throat infection that day and was advised by doctors not to perform...and he STILL nailed it!! Queen stole the entire show!! And as for the guitarist...not bad for a home made instrument!!
Young people today say they don’t know Queen but every one does know them , because of there songs they are true legends . Glad you enjoyed it keep listening to Queen .
This was Live Aide. It was world wide for that short amount of time Freddie held about 3.2 billion people in the palm of his hand. They were all extremely intelligent.
'Somebody to love' live is a must, Don't stop me now' and of course Bohemian Rhapsody goes without saying enjoy going down the Queen rabbit hole so so much to discover.
If you can find it, watch "Queen live at Wembley 1986". It's way too long for a reaction, but it will give you an idea of how audiences reacted to the band. Wembley (the same stadium as the "Live Aid" concert which you just watched) was just as packed. After that, you might like to hunt down a copy of "Queen - The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert 20th April 1992". It will likely be a 2DVD set. Thank you for reacting to these legends.
This wasn't Queen's largest audience. When they played at Rock N Rio they had between three hundred and six hundred thousand each night. Freddie is already a legend. They wrote all of the songs they peformed.
Love your fabulous reaction! All their live performances are brilliant but a standout is Somebody to Love, live in Montreal, 1981. Just to let you know the guitar you hear is all Brian May. He produces so much richness and volume that you could easily think there are two guitarists playing. John Deacon plays bass.
There are three verses to We Will Rock You. Queen played an abbreviated version so as stay within the 20 minute allotment given to each band.. Check out the official video from Queen’s UA-cam channel. David Bowie was the next performer. He said (something to the effect) How the fck am I to follow that!?” Freddie died in 1991.
Rock You and Champions were the opening songs on the 1977 News of the World album and released (flip-side) as a single. Radio played them together upon their release. They were blasting from all the car windows!
Great reaction! I highly suggest reacting to somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. And another one bites the dust live in Montreal 1981. I think you would like those music videos as well. There’s so many other great songs to react to.
Greatest 20min set in rock history. Queen left their imprint on the world and will continue to do so for generations to come. Keep going down the queen rabbit hole there catalog is huge and there live performances are incredible We truly miss you freddie God bless you
RIP Freddie Mercury. I was a kid when this was broadcast around the world for free on TV and I almost felt sorry for David Bowie since he was the next artist on stage after Queen. Honestly, how to you follow a performance like that.
Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 68 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: FUN FACTS FIRST: The kisses are for his Mom who was watching him on Television. MATTER OF FACTS: They had just completed a Tour a month b4. So, they went & rented a Stadium to practice the performance. He ended up with a Throat Infection & the Doctor highly recommended he not do it bc he might lose his musical ability. He said no! Can you tell he had a severe throat infection? Most people think he was drinking booze from the cups bc on the piano. He’s drinking Honey & Tea. His command of the Audience was more than coincidence it was miraculous. Considering there were so many people there the sound was getting absorbed through them. So the people @ the back we’re following his hand gestures bc the actual sound hadn’t even reached them b4 the next sound was coming @ them. Go back & watch what his hands are doing & what the Audience is doing. NEXT: Radio Gaga is celebrating Radio bc M-TV is just getting started. LADY GAGA was a huge Freddie Fam growing up, so That was where she came up with HER STAGE NAME! You have to listen to the words to really understand the meaning. Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person! NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience. NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THIS THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”! (Can’t you just see that!?). NEXT FREDDIE’s VOICE. HE HAD 4 extra teeth so that’s the reason he had such an overbite. He had the ability to naturally flow from Octave to Octave. It was a natural progression, for him. SCIENTIFICALLY: Test were done on his Voice. He was able to use his Throat muscles on either side of his vocal cords. Which is normally seen in some Opera Singers. His Vocal Range was from Low Bass F, to High Soprano F! They were extremely surprised to find out that he could go from about 92Hz to 784Hz, effortlessly! See ACTUAL REPORT BELOW: nyone who has listened to a Queen track knows that Freddie has a unique ability that still has not been truly replicated since. His ability to blend highs, lows and mid range notes cohesively and with immense precision. This skill was due to the fact that Freddie was able to create faster vibrato and harmonics than any other singer at the time. Not only this, he was able to shift through registers effortlessly. Although he naturally held a baritone voice, he primarily sang as a tenor and of course had no problem then shifting into soprano parts. One study on Freddie’s vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves! LEAD GUITARIST: Brian May, is playing on a Guitar he & his Father made. When he first starting to learn they were too poor to afford a high end guitar. So, they just made one! They made out of an old cabinet his mother was going to throw awayThe included some “extras” that would normally have to be separate instruments to get all those features (think Concerts when you see guitarist changing Guitars depending on the Song….that’s why he didn’t)! I’m sorry to take up your Valuable Time, and I thank you. You need anymore Trivia I’m your G’Ma go to. My Brain is full, especially with music! LAST INTERESTING INFO: When he is waving his arm it is to tell the cameramen which way he is going bc he’s moving around so much. When he kicks his legs backwards that is getting over all the cables, that are on the Stage. TV Cameras were not cordless back in the day!! And, “We Will Rock You”, is actually a Prelude to “We Are The Champions”. (It is really all 1 Song!) You just, truly, saw “ The Greatest Show On Earth!” Brian May said Freddy was a hard taskmaster in rehearsals. But, that he always was right about what the Audience wanted…would say that worked out pretty well..wouldn’t you agree? Freddy turned the whole Audience in to his backup singers!
Loved yr reaction. Brian May wrote We Will Rock You and Freddie Mercury wrote We Are The Champions. Another song you might know is Another One Bites The Dust which was written by the bass player John Deacon. A fun version of AOBTD is @Montreal 1981. Queen were phenomenal in the studio and amazing live. Lady GaGa named herself after the Radio GaGa song you heard. ❤
“Everyone looks like a bowl of cereal/like a frosted flake”. 😹😹😹 FACT: You know, when you’re looking at a picture online, there’s the “Find similar images” icon that you can click/tap on? I was looking at a picture of the crowd at Queen’s 1986 Wembley concert (So, this same stadium, but a year after this Live Aid event)…. I used that “Find similar images” feature, and… the RESULTS WERE: A PICTURE OF… A “GUHZILLION” KERNELS OF GRAIN! (Like, grains of wheat or something) NOT. KIDDING.🤣
They have all wrote number one hits as well. The guitarist Brian May made his first guitar when he was young with his dad as he couldn't afford a Fender o Gibson it's called the red special and it has its own unique sound which is amazing because it's made out of an old fireplace. Please listen to Somebody to Love Montreal live HD at the same concert dragon attack and save me I'll be following you on your queen journey enjoy x
The show was similicast all over the world so i guess this was his way of including the audience sitting at home. In all i think i remember there was 1.4 Billion watching. 70,000.in the stadium.
Freddie had a bad throat (which he said was like gargling with broken glass) and the doctor told him not to perform. However Queen did and they smashed it. Each act was given 20 minutes and if they ran over they were cut. Queen did the most songs and finished exactly on time. All four of Queen have University Degrees which are not in music.
Great reaction…… loved how shocked you were…… Queen has almost 300 songs spread out over 20 years of hits….. you will definitely recognize more iconic songs that you never knew were by Queen. Most of their songs are better when performed live than the studio releases……. Please, please you must react to “Somebody to Love” live in Montreal 1981….. then “Another One Bites the Dust” from the same live concert. Thank you.
Here are a bunch of great queen live performances We are the champions and god save the queen live wembley Tie your mother down live wembley One vision live wembley It's a kind of magic live wembley Now I'm here live wembley Under pressure live wembley Three song medley Lap of the gods, seven seas of rythe and tear it up live wembley Love of my life live Rio It's a hard life live japan Liar live London Stone cold crazy live at the rainbow Dragon attack live montreal 1981 Another one bites the dust live Montreal 1981 Play the game live Montreal 1981 Save me live montreal 1981 Who wants to live forever live Budapest Fat bottomed girl live milton Keynes I want to break free live japan Somebody to love live montreal 1981. These are just a few there are tons more R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Four brilliant musicians at the top of their game. This performance is all the more remarkable because this was not a Queen audience (they were a last minute addition) and they stole the show. Brian May said the sound was so bad on stage that they couldn't even hear one another. That's where their professionalism shows. Freddie was having a problem with his throat and had been advised not to sing. Thank heavens he didn't take that advice.
Nice reaction...2 things...please don't pause so often and concentrate on the video and don't keep looking over to whatever is going on your right. It's important to watch everything going on just as we are. Thank You...
Great reaction but have to say you picked a really really bad version as the quality was horrific !!! There are much better versions to pick, even your face was kinda fuzzy, the sound quality when you speak too !! You really need to amp up your quality if you're gonna continue with Queen, even your Bho Rhap did not give the panning/overlay effects in my headphones. Also every movement you made your microphone picked it up/fuzziness, not good at all, also you we're very distracting which took it away from the music as your concentration was either on the side of your screen and then dancing etc etc, just felt that you missed so much of Freddie's stage presence, I only just managed to stick it to the end of this reaction (just in my honest opinion - just some friendly advice)!!! However, keep up the good work on Queen, you're platform will rocket. I was in that crowd and was just 16 years old and the first time I saw Queen, I was hooked. Saw them twice the following year and am now 55 and have been a fan ever since. RIP you beautifu Persian Poppinjay, Freddie Mercury, you were and still are a LEGEND ....
RIP Freddie Mercury ❤ who passed away in 1991 at the age of 45 from AIDS. The best vocalist and frontman ever, all 4 members were the best, and together, oomph. THE BEST BAND ever.

I always laugh my butt off when I see someone realize that actually have heard Queen. 😂
1.5 billion people watched this live,you need to watch all their live shows.No auto tune all his voice,I love watching the young hear them for the first time!
Queen is the best band EVER. Their versatility is unmatched, and Freddie was a magical being.
AGREED!
This was a relatively small crowd,in south America their crowds were at a minimum 150,000 each night.
Absolutely 💯❤️❤️
Queen...the best band ever!!!!!!!
Freddie Mercury . Freddie Mercury . Freddie Mercury . Please never forget his name 🙏👑👑❤️❤️
I was there that day in 1985 as a 15yr old pop music lover... I left that day as a convert to rock music, thanks mainly to Freddie & Co...

David Bowie followed Queen that day and was in the wings when they came off stage and apparently said to Freddie something along the lines of "thanks you b'stard, how am I supposed to follow that?"😂😂
I was lucky enough to see them again the following year on their "Magic" tour, Status Quo opened for them (BONUS) and Queen certainly didn't disappoint.
I'm now a 55yr old woman who's been to 300ish live rock concerts over the years, everyone from Guns n Roses to ACDC to Uriah Heep, Meatloaf, Status Quo, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi (48 times 😂), The Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry) to H.I.M and the 69 Eyes.. but that 22 minutes right there is still by far the best 22 minutes of live greatness EVER! And one show that has never left my memory!
God bless you Freddie and Thank you for the music.. RIP you legend 👑👑👑
That is an impressive roster of concerts and I have to ask, more in awe than disbelief,
Bon Jovi×48?! Wow
@Taylorswiftfan13308 what can I say... I just love music and especially Bon Jovi.. I've travelled all over the UK and a couple of shows in Europe... Bearing in mind that 48 shows is over a 40 year period xx
72,000 people in attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world, which was 0:03 0:03
1/4 of the world at that time.
Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection.
Live Aid made 140, million dollars for famine in Africa.
When the boys left the stage, a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million

R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Freddie wrote We Are The Champions just for you 🥰👑 He knew generations after he was gone people would love his music ✌🏼
What is amazing is to see the young people, like our host here, fall in love, appreciate and be amazed by the great Freddie Mercury
He died of AIDs in 91
Let me introduce to Queen. Lead singer Freddie Mercury, lead guitarist, Sir Brian May, bass John Deacon. Drummer is Roger Taylor.
When the tickets went on sale...Queen was not signed up to be in this concert. They were signed up after the tickets sold out! The crowd were not all Queen fans...till they took the stage!!!! You might like "Another one bites the dust!"

Freddie said his favorite instrument was the audience 😂
Fantastic energy, times! Be blessed all...
And Freddie was sick and his doctor told him not to perform. But he did anyway.
The music of Queen will be heard and loved forever! 💙👑🫶🕊 Edit: I've been a Queen for almost 50 yrs and you know more Queen songs than you think.......A lot more. 😅

Names
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor (drums), John Deacon ( bass guitarist) Brian was knighted so he is
Sir Dr Brian May (also a professor)
Suggestions: It'sa Kind of Magic, live at awembley stadium a year later
If you can find it, watch "Queen live at Wembley 1986". It's way too long for a reaction, but it will give you an idea of how audiences reacted to the band. Wembley (the same stadium as the "Live Aid" concert which you just watched) was just as packed.
After that, you might like to hunt down a copy of "Queen - The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert 20th April 1992". It will likely be a 2DVD set.
Thank you for reacting to these legends.
More Queen songs. I Want It All, Under Pressure, Don't Stop Me Now, The Show Must Go On. Will do for a start.
This wasn't Queen's largest audience. When they played at Rock N Rio they had between three hundred and six hundred thousand each night. Freddie is already a legend. They wrote all of the songs they peformed.

You’re going to flip when you find they also sang Another One Bites The Dust 😊

Great reaction! I highly suggest reacting to somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. And another one bites the dust live in Montreal 1981. I think you would like those music videos as well. There’s so many other great songs to react to.
Yes, that performance is sensational!!!
Back then the biggest bands used to sell out stadiums, sometimes more than one night.
Greatest 20min set in rock history. Queen left their imprint on the world and will continue to do so for generations to come. Keep going down the queen rabbit hole there catalog is huge and there live performances are incredible
We truly miss you freddie
God bless you
The video Bohemian Rapsody. A must review.
You should react to Love of My Life from the ‘85 Rock in Rio tour… estimated over 250,000… you can never go wrong with a live Queen performance!
RIP Freddie Mercury. I was a kid when this was broadcast around the world for free on TV and I almost felt sorry for David Bowie since he was the next artist on stage after Queen. Honestly, how to you follow a performance like that.
Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 68 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: FUN FACTS FIRST: The kisses are for his Mom who was watching him on Television.

Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person!
NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience.
NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THIS THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”!

LAST INTERESTING INFO: When he is waving his arm it is to tell the cameramen which way he is going bc he’s moving around so much. When he kicks his legs backwards that is getting over all the cables, that are on the Stage. TV Cameras were not cordless back in the day!! And, “We Will Rock You”, is actually a Prelude to “We Are The Champions”. (It is really all 1 Song!)
You just, truly, saw “ The Greatest Show On Earth!”
Brian May said Freddy was a hard taskmaster in rehearsals. But, that he always was right about what the Audience wanted…would say that worked out pretty well..wouldn’t you agree? Freddy turned the whole Audience in to his backup singers!
73,000+ in attendance. Queen was a last minute addition. They weren’t even printed on the tickets!
Cool Shirt! Steph Curry now and Freddie Mercury forever, legends in their own time . . . and forever I'm certain.
Loved yr reaction. Brian May wrote We Will Rock You and Freddie Mercury wrote We Are The Champions. Another song you might know is Another One Bites The Dust which was written by the bass player John Deacon. A fun version of AOBTD is @Montreal 1981.
Queen were phenomenal in the studio and amazing live. Lady GaGa named herself after the Radio GaGa song you heard. ❤
Radio GaGa was written by Roger Taylor, the drummer. All four members have written No 1 world-wide hits. So much talent in one band! ❤❤ ❤

You know, when you’re looking at a picture online, there’s the “Find similar images” icon that you can click/tap on? I was looking at a picture of the crowd at Queen’s 1986 Wembley concert (So, this same stadium, but a year after this Live Aid event)…. I used that “Find similar images” feature, and… the RESULTS WERE:
A PICTURE OF… A “GUHZILLION” KERNELS OF GRAIN! (Like, grains of wheat or something)
NOT. KIDDING.🤣
They have all wrote number one hits as well. The guitarist Brian May made his first guitar when he was young with his dad as he couldn't afford a Fender o Gibson it's called the red special and it has its own unique sound which is amazing because it's made out of an old fireplace. Please listen to Somebody to Love Montreal live HD at the same concert dragon attack and save me I'll be following you on your queen journey enjoy x
Must say I’ve never heard anyone ask who FREDDIE MERCURY is before 😂😂😂Shows how we QUEENIES are getting old ✌🏼🌷
Guitarist in brian may. The bass player is John decon and the drummer is rodger
The show was similicast all over the world so i guess this was his way of including the audience sitting at home. In all i think i remember there was 1.4 Billion watching. 70,000.in the stadium.
Freddie had a bad throat (which he said was like gargling with broken glass) and the doctor told him not to perform. However Queen did and they smashed it. Each act was given 20 minutes and if they ran over they were cut. Queen did the most songs and finished exactly on time. All four of Queen have University Degrees which are not in music.
The constables joke about the noise in the beginning; You have to realize that Belgium is 275 mi away from Wembley stadium!
Here are a few queen record cuts

Great reaction…… loved how shocked you were…… Queen has almost 300 songs spread out over 20 years of hits….. you will definitely recognize more iconic songs that you never knew were by Queen. Most of their songs are better when performed live than the studio releases……. Please, please you must react to “Somebody to Love” live in Montreal 1981….. then “Another One Bites the Dust” from the same live concert. Thank you.

R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
That is not a back up chorus you are hearing in the first song. It is the audience.
Four brilliant musicians at the top of their game. This performance is all the more remarkable because this was not a Queen audience (they were a last minute addition) and they stole the show. Brian May said the sound was so bad on stage that they couldn't even hear one another. That's where their professionalism shows. Freddie was having a problem with his throat and had been advised not to sing. Thank heavens he didn't take that advice.
Sorry the drummers name is Roger Taylor
Nice reaction...2 things...please don't pause so often and concentrate on the video and don't keep looking over to whatever is going on your right. It's important to watch everything going on just as we are. Thank You...
React to kalogeras sisters rollerblading
KEVIN YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE KALOGERA SISTERS ROLLER BLADING
@5:11 Kevin attempted to sing with a deep voice ( MaMa ) had me dead 😭😭
One who ?
you miss a lot looking out the window? What's out there?
Great reaction
They only wrote & sang only their original songs
Not so. My favorite is The Great Pretender. Give it a listen.
great reaction!
Great reaction but have to say you picked a really really bad version as the quality was horrific !!! There are much better versions to pick, even your face was kinda fuzzy, the sound quality when you speak too !! You really need to amp up your quality if you're gonna continue with Queen, even your Bho Rhap did not give the panning/overlay effects in my headphones. Also every movement you made your microphone picked it up/fuzziness, not good at all, also you we're very distracting which took it away from the music as your concentration was either on the side of your screen and then dancing etc etc, just felt that you missed so much of Freddie's stage presence, I only just managed to stick it to the end of this reaction (just in my honest opinion - just some friendly advice)!!! However, keep up the good work on Queen, you're platform will rocket. I was in that crowd and was just 16 years old and the first time I saw Queen, I was hooked. Saw them twice the following year and am now 55 and have been a fan ever since. RIP you beautifu Persian Poppinjay, Freddie Mercury, you were and still are a LEGEND ....
This is what happens when people live in bubbles ..They miss out on great music ..when they have closed minds ...
