Don't pay attention to those who say Trey didn't react enough. I seen him comment,smile,get lost in the music...great reaction..genuine. I don't like fake screaming and overblown reaction..Have Trey on again.
Exactly he smiled said he enjoyed it and wants to buy a queen shirt I keep explaining not everyone analyzes music the same. We are related but. Not the same person . The funny thing is many people told me to bring my brother in videos and when I do they talk about him like that I don’t even want him to see some of the comments because they were so cruel. It sucks to see this because he really enjoyed it and he likes making videos with me but the way people talk about him makes me not want to introduce anymore of my family.
@@Isleofskye David Bowie was next on and asked Freddie 'how the f*ck are we supposed to follow that?'..... still remember watching this like it was yesterday.... was great to see how much fun Freddie was having ❤
The person who followed Queen was the legendary David Bowie who actually wrote Under Pressure with Freddie and Queen. Probably nobody BUT David Bowie could have followed this performance. It has been said that as Queen was on their way backstage and David was coming on to the stage. He turned to the Queen band members and said "You Bastards!" All in fun, though, David Bowie did a killer set as well and kept the crowd going. Bowie was a huge talent in his own right.
Micah Rogers actually what Elton John said was I said (Elton), “Freddie, nobody should go on after you - you were magnificent.” He said: “You’re absolutely right, darling, we were - we killed them.””
Everyone in that crowd knew they were at the centre of the world's attention. It was being televised all over the world live, it was a huge deal on the day. The buzz in the crowd that day was crazy.
I don't know if anyone told you but after Queen performed, no band wanted to go on stage behind them bcuz Queen had just stole the whole show and no band could match their performance. Freddy could capture and hold an audience in the palm of his hand.
Freddie will NEVER DIE. It is amazing how Queen has integrated into every generation and every aspect of our culture. To think Brian and John and Roger are still here it is amazing. The legends live!! So many legends have passed before their time! I am so grateful that they are still here and showing the next generation , real MUSIC!!!!
@@nancyblumberg4612 We still know about the names and works of musicians from centuries ago, and some we still even know by name! I believe Mercury will forever be up there with the greats, as long as we're listening to music. How nice to think about, no? If we make it another few hundred years, we'll still have these recordings and videos of him to inspire people to love.
@@missbelled6700 I think they are true genius. I am grateful everyday that I have their music. Sometimes it is the only bright spot in my day.. or week or year.
Seeing someone introduce Queen to someone is awesome. I never heard anyone NOT like them. Freddy was the man. If he was around today god only knows we would’ve had amazing things over the years!
Your Brother gets it - Freddie proposed the name Queen because it was strong and regal sounding [too many people think they were gay - even Freddie was bi not gay] and the others liked it then Freddie designed the Royal looking Crest which is their trademark. The main issue with Freddie's voice on the day was that it cracked a little on some of the more difficult notes and he couldn't hold some notes as long as usual - but with other performers sounding the same or worse when live you don't notice until you see Queen in concert when Freddie wasn't sick! That is the mark of a true champion right there.
@@nanner3200 Wrong. The movie was BS in that he didn't know he had the virus before Live Aid but he WAS starting to get the first signs of HIV around this time. More throat infections and other symptoms. At that time, those symptoms didn't show themselves until around 5 years after originally contracting HIV. Meaning Freddie caught it around 1979-81. He started having symptoms in the mid 80s and had a test but the tests were new and unreliable so it could have been a false positive so he still had some hope that he was negative. But by 1987 it was confirmed that the HIV had developed into full blown AIDS. So although he didn't know for sure he had HIV during Live Aid, he sure as hell knew he could have been infected as he's already lost some previous lovers to it, therefore he stood a high chance of having it too. The movie completely F'ed the timeline up though.
@@youneverseeanoldmaneatinga7416 Wait. What? I get the long lecture but the person who said he for sure had HIV does not? Either way we'll never know for sure and I'm not wrong. He did not know he had HIV during Live Aid and was not diagnosed until years later.
Oh honey, your brother needs “Another One Bites the Dust “... ! THAT is the one Michael Jackson urged them to put out as a single. (It was written by bassist, John Deacon)
@@THEJAYYSHOW it’s all cool ! Show him both “Another One Bites the Dust” and “One Vision” , Live at Wembley 1986 - the crowd enthusiasm is off the charts!
Front row. For the Bohemisn Rhapsody/ Night at the Opera tour. I was 15. And I got to meet Freddie and the band before the show. They signed my album & he said he liked my outfit. (" I love your ensemble ") magical moment. 🦄
He was a pioneer. The only evidence we need is the fact that he is now regarded as to greatest legend in rock music ever, more than Lennon, Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, etc, etc...I put this down to his talent with singing and playing piano + writing + charism that reaches across the decades. Freddie was nothing but love and positivity.
@@tatethompson1234 no, didn't go over my head, his legacy does that anyway. I'm a trans lesbian, I was 15 when Freddie died and he was my childhood hero, I am fully aware of the icon he is to the LGBT community. Someone doesn't have to still be alive to be a pioneer in the present day. - I do wish people would stop being arogant enough to tell me I'm missing the point.
@@tatethompson1234 what no comeback yet, it's been longer than it took you to respond to my first comment to you. I take it you understand know that I understand. Debate over, I suppose.
Freddie Mercury had charisma in spades and an ability to sing so many different styles. The whole band worked together into an amazingly united way - musical geniuses every one.
Freddie came up with the name. According to Brian, he & Roger weren’t too keen, but they kept hashing it out & he realized that If we’re all debating it, there must be something to it. Freddie liked all the different connotations that the name conjures up. Freddie also created their crest. A Phoenix rising above the 4 astrological signs of each band member. Of course it’s all topped off with a crown. Also not sure if you realize Brian & Freddie came back later fir an encore. “Is this the world we created”. Simply amazing. Freddie, Brian & a 12 string.
This is the best performance ever!!! And did you know that Freddie said in a later interview that singing at Live Aid, because of his throat infection, was like swallow very sharp pieces of broken glass. And he knew that, his doctor told him not to sing, but he didn't listen, he went on and gave the fans and the non-fans the best performance he could give. This band did everything to keep their fans happy. How many artists today do you think would do that? For real??? Only the King Freddie Mercury 👑👑👑👑
One of the newspapers the following day was talking about how Queen dominated the show and they said, "Freddie Mercury commanded the stage, holding his funny microphone in one hand, the world in the other." Trey is 100% correct. From the moment they came out Freddie was all over that stage. Queen was used to playing to even bigger audiences than that. The other bands did not use much of the stage at all. That just showed the difference between the caliber of acts.
They were all college level graduates but not in music and played multiple instruments and all wrote #1 songs and are in the hall of fame. Freddie Mercury has passed in 1991. Brian May is Dr. Brian May and an astrophysicist and plays lead guitar and keyboard and piano.. Roger Taylor is the drummer but also graduated with a degree in biology and plays guitar. John Deacon plays Bass and keyboard and drums. He has retired but has a degree in electronics.
Brian had a no 1 in 2000 with five,rock you He didn't have a no 1 while Freddie was alive Roger hasnt had an independent no 1 Innuendo was written with Freddie We have no idea if days of our lives would have reached no 1,it was released in Sept,no chart info It was then released after Freddie death with bo rap the both at no 1 together uk John had a no 1 in the us ABTD Freddie had uk no 1 with bo rap Innuendo with Roger And us no 1 with crazy little thing Edit Queen and bowie no 1 under pressure
Still hearing We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, 1978! 43 years later! next one show him Another One Bites the Dust, studio! he'll know that one!
Additionally, they were not all Queen fans as they were fans from a range of bands and artists due to the nature of the concert. Freddie still was able to play his favourite instrument - the crowd.
I was backstage at that concert in 1985. I was working for a great singer songwriter, called Cat Stevens [aka Yusuf Islam] and he was supposed to go on between Elton John and Wham but Elton overran by 15 minutes, so Cat Stevens agreed to drop his section from the set and Wham was cut, with Elton and George Michael doing a duet instead. It was a great concert and, personally, I'm glad I was backstage in comfort with Bowie, Bono and others, rather than being in that crowd.
I just recently discovered your channel........ what a thoughtful, deep and beautiful young woman you are. I love your content. I am a 73 yr old white woman and I am blessed to come across such a healing place on UA-cam. Music is the universal language that can make people drop their barriers and share joy, smiles and movement in the joy of music, and your eclectic choices of music starts genuine communication. You go girl !!❤️ And your brother is very cute and listens with an open mind. You must have good genetics in your family.
You can tell towards the end that he was struggling with the throat infection. On the last line of we are the champions he drops out for a few words and Roger carries the song. Then he and Brian came back later in the evening and sang "Is This the World We Created", just Freddie and Brian's guitar.

This makes me overjoyed. The feeling you get when you open Tray's eyes to something he didn't know existed, that's the feeling we have when we can say "welcome! This is the understanding!"
Who doesn't.... Seeing Freddie like he's still with us. And that magnificent voice. One wants to ask..... Wonder what he thinks of the fact that fans still love watching what he did. And how much we still celebrate the music. I'd like to think he'd be over the moon.
Freddie Mercury wrote Queens hit song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - as his tribute to Elvis Presley- wrote it in 10 minutes in his bathtub... and Queen put it on their Album, made it a single without any MJ involvement. "Another One Bites The Dust" is the song Queen's Bassist John Deacon wrote, which MJ insisted, Queen should make a single. To this day, both songs are in Queen's list of big hits.
I was 26 when live aid happened and i missed out on tickets i wish i had been there. that stadium is Wembley Football (soccer) stadium our National Stadium in London. really enjoyed the review.
Michael Jackson was a big fan of Freddie and visit him in the locker room before his concert… he probably took some Freddie outfit when he did thriller video… the two bigger than life performer of their generation
Jayy. Girl! Sending love your way! Love that you are watching this with your brother. Queen for sure is awesome! My cat is sitting here with me. He likes your voice, whenever I play your stuff he comes over and stares at my screen.
This was such an epic performance in front of a phenomenal audience. Where does an artist go after a high like this? Nearly 40 years later and I still get chills whenever I see this set. Freddie Mercury was at his apex as a performer. I would very much like to see your reaction to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Keep up the great work!
I am lucky enough and old enough to have seen Queen live and no matter how much high energy you think they brought to the stage you should really times that by a thousand. If you've not done it yet you should listen/react to "Another One Bites the Dust" which will throw you and you will have definitely heard their soundtrack to the film Highlander especially "Who Wants to Live Forever". Also not sure if you've done "Barcelona" yet. Which is a duet with Montserrat Caballe as that will make you love Freddie even more.
@@marggie4129 Remember? It was the seventies.. LOL I kinda remember Another one bites the dust. I do remember wondering why they were an opening band. Mott was big at the time. All the way to Memphis was a great song then.
@@markoneil2055 LOL! Yes. I saw many many many bands in the 70's that are a little fuzzy :) I too was fortunate enough to see Queen but it was later when they were the only band playing. What year? I don't remember :P
There was one other song at night time. Freddy and Brian May came back out and sang a song they wrote called, Is This The World We Created. Look it up from live aide. Very much worth watching.
Yep... It's one of if the most beautiful moments ever!! Freddie and Brian had the whole world in their hands and brought us all together, even if just for that brief moment...
When queen performed live you were in for a real treat, Freddie had full control of a crowd of 100.000+,he once played in front of a crowd of 250.000 people in Brazil a true showman, glad you shared it with your brother 👍 RIP Freddie ❤️
I love seeing someone experiencing this for the first time. It makes it new, again, even though I grew up listening to these guys. So thrilled that you appreciate this music.
I rented a VCR from Rent-A-Center just so I could tape Live Aid off air. It took place in the UK and the US and lasted all day. Someday you should watch the whole thing. It was awesome. U2's set was pretty amazing also. And Phil Collins performed in London, then took the Concorde to the USA and played there on the same day. And Live Aid wasn't just a concert: It raised more than $125 million to fight famine in Etheopia.
Great reaction! Some important context. There was a major famine in Africa that hit Ethiopia particularly hard during the early and mid-80s. Mass amounts of people (children) were literally starving to death. The music industry responded in a big way. First, in 1984 European musicians formed a huge supergroup under the name Bandaid and recorded Do they Know its Christmas to raise money for the famine relief effort. You probably know it. It’s still played at Christmas every year. Then, the following year in 1985, all of the major American stars recorded We are the World as USA for Africa. These two songs raised a tremendous amount of money. An Irish musician named Bob Geldof followed this by putting together a simultaneous concert in London and Philadelphia with dozens of major music stars which was broadcast around the world live. That is what Live Aid was all about. It was a massive event treated as a telethon so you could call in to donate as the concerts went on all day and into the night. I was 12 years old and I will never forget watching this and knowing how important it was. There were so many good performances (a few not so good) but there is a reason why we all remember Queen’s performance so we’ll and why it has breathed new life all these years later. Simply, they stole the show. I don’t know if it’s true, but in the movie about Freddie’s life, they show the phone lines lighting up with donations during Queen’s performance. I hope it’s true and wouldn’t doubt it. The point is, their performance had a greater importance beyond just putting on a good show and they absolutely came through.
Did you know that this stage performance was only part of an all day two nation worldwide Rock concert ALL the mega groups broadcast to the world. This was to raise money for the massive and deadly famine in Ethiopia. Look it up, this was in the Wembley Football stadium just a few thousand people there. We heard in our back garden with bar-b-as going all over. The US show was inLA I think
This is awesome. My self-appointed job in my family is to show Queen to my nieces and nephews when I think they are old enough to appreciate them. You now need to show Trey a performance of the full Bohemian Rhapsody as well as Under Pressure.
Legendary is when your song gets 60,000+ people spontaneously singing to an empty stage while waiting for a Greenday concert to start. 50 years after it first became a hit. Most of them probably weren’t even born went it first hit the charts. I would love to see you react to that video if you haven’t done it already.
@@richieb7692 I found other videos last year but completely forgot about. I think one was in the U.S. and one was from Argentina. Classic. Thanks for reminding me about it!
Best part of that show is when he thanks the fans for his fame and fortune and they acknowledge it. I love the few seconds of complete intimacy with the crowd. He has the attention of every single last person there from the second he steps on stage
Yeah, so sadly, he died in 1991 when I was in high school. People took it sooo hard, so many of us and our parents grew up on Queen. BUT, it's awesome folks like Jayy and Tray keeping Queen and Freddy's music and legacy around!!
The morning of 25th November 1991 was devastating for me, ironically I got my first subscription to the "International Queen fan club" half an hour through the post after I heard the news, cruel twist but I am still a member 30 years later.
I remember that day. I was on my way to SF in a ride-share work van, and it came on a local radio station we were listening to. The whole van just went so silent and normally we were all a talkative but it was still and somber for the rest of the ride.
I remember watching this live, I was 19. Getting old doesn't feel as bad if you witnessed things like this when you were young. It wasn't to long before this concert that Freddie found out he was HIV positive. Rest in peace brother.
Thank you :) Great reaction with your brother. U2 was also in this concert, I believe only 2 songs. Queen and Freddie just amazing as always and what a voice, when you hear it, you know its the one and only Freddie.
Yes dear, Thankyou!!! 😁😁 Great to see that you reacted with your Brother, you 2 have good energy! I love the younger generation who are open to any kind of older music. Queen 4ever, they were one of a kind. Keep up the good work! Much bless and love.
David Bowie said 'How do i follow that?' The best 20 mins in music history. EVER. There is still only 1 Queen. Its Freddie. Miss you Freddie. Much love from England. Xxxxx
All four could sing! Freddie played both piano and guitar. All 4 added to the vocals. Freddie wrote and arranged most of their hits. They were incredible.
I came from NYC to see Freddie n Roger n Brian and Queen at Live Aid I was 17. I cannot tell you what it was like but Amazing to have been there. I had seen Queen on their first US Tour at MSG in NYC and in also in Canada. That was the best show I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen Some of the best musician ever, this was hands down the best I have ever seen live in my life. But this was EPIC RIP Freddie
Your bro was acting like"She going to make me listen to this sh*t" and then his face changed to DAMN this is GOOD! Freddie Mercury lives on through his music 🎶 and is touching this current generation's mind's and soul. RIP Freddie Mercury 1991 💗❤
72,0000 people at Wembley, another 100,000 in Philadelphia, and 1,2 billion watching on TV globally. The Olympics have 3 satellites...Live Aid had 13. I wasn't a Queen fan at all, but after that day..I was lol! The world for Africa! I remember it was very hot that day in Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985 but it was worth it, best day in my life! 👏👏🇳🇱
Love the fact that you picked up on the energy level they were know for wanting audience participation ......it was the reason they wrote we will rock you.
Will never forget July 13, 1985. Still have my VHS tapes of Live Aid, got my new contact lens that day, and went down to JFK Stadium (RIP) to see the Philadelphia side of Live Aid. What a great day!
That stadium was full of ppl waiting for other bands. The audience wasn't filled with Queen fans. But they all knew the lyrics AND physical reactions for like Radio Gaga or We Will Rock You. THAT IS WHY QUEEN IS LEGEND! If you get the chance to go see QUEEN + Adam Lambert after Covid, DO IT!!! I saw them 5 times so far and Brian and Roger still rock. If you still have doubts, watch the docu The Show Must Go On on Netflix!!!!
I never get tired of watching this. It always puts a smile on my face and fills me with so much joy - the most incredible 20 minutes of music you will ever see. Freddie what is there left to say Legend Genius How we all miss your magic but what you have left us with to enjoy Love ❤ forever
Thank you two as young as you are, for appreciating Queen, they are one of my favorite bands. They had an endless amount of hits, and Freddy Mercury had one of the best voices ever. GOD bless him. R.I.P. Freddie.
Live aid in Freddie’s mind in my opinion, was he knew he didn’t have much tome left but he wanted to touch every persons heart on earth, and he sure did, even now long after he passed. His music gave people hope. There was way too much hate back then, kind of how it’s getting to be again, but their music and message will live on through All of us forever. Thank you for your reaction.
Congrats, Tray, on being introduced to the genius and greatness of Queen! An amazing, amazing performance. Nobody could compete with Queen that day -- heck, people can't compete today. That was LIVE, that's now incredible Queen was. Jayy, you need to show Tray Somebody to Love live from '81 and then a whole bunch of their Wembley '86 performances, including Under Pressure (Tray will surely recognize that infamous riff). Also - Fat Bottomed Girls and Don't Stop Me Now, my go-to happy song.
This was great...it wasn't 2 minutes in and his head was bobbing. I think he appreciated what he saw and your enthusiasm ...we all do.. And thanks for sharing this with family and friends Keep the classics alive!!
What a great brother and sister video. Such a wonderful compliment to share this special love. Shared memories and experiences make us solid. Thanks for making us a part of this moment. 👩🏽🤝👨🏾
For this concert most bands came out and played a few songs. Freddie’s idea was let’s give them a mini concert in the short time we have on stage. They packed in as much as they could. He owned that crowd. Most amazing performance in the history of music. The greatest front man in the history of music. He always made sure the audience was involved as much as possible
Great Reaction. The interaction with the crowd was even more immense considering this was not a Queen crowd. They were just one of over 20 Artists who performed that day and they were only allowed 20+ Minutes so had to give long samples of their songs only. :) The "official" crowd was 72,000 which was nonsense as that "old" Wembley Stadium held 100,000 NOT including all those endless thousands on the pitch. lol The joke about noise complaints from the 2 Comedians dressed as Police Officers was the complaint was from "Belgium" over 200 Miles away :)
Don't pay attention to those who say Trey didn't react enough. I seen him comment,smile,get lost in the music...great reaction..genuine. I don't like fake screaming and overblown reaction..Have Trey on again.

Someone doesn't have to still be alive to be a pioneer in the present day. - I do wish people would stop being arogant enough to tell me I'm missing the point.
@@tatethompson1234 what no comeback yet, it's been longer than it took you to respond to my first comment to you. I take it you understand know that I understand. Debate over, I suppose.
I watched it live when I was 15 years old. And Freddie shined as well as Roger and Brian. They changed my world.
Freddie Mercury had charisma in spades and an ability to sing so many different styles. The whole band worked together into an amazingly united way - musical geniuses every one.
Freddie came up with the name. According to Brian, he & Roger weren’t too keen, but they kept hashing it out & he realized that If we’re all debating it, there must be something to it. Freddie liked all the different connotations that the name conjures up. Freddie also created their crest. A Phoenix rising above the 4 astrological signs of each band member. Of course it’s all topped off with a crown.
Also not sure if you realize Brian & Freddie came back later fir an encore. “Is this the world we created”. Simply amazing. Freddie, Brian & a 12 string.
This is the best performance ever!!! And did you know that Freddie said in a later interview that singing at Live Aid, because of his throat infection, was like swallow very sharp pieces of broken glass. And he knew that, his doctor told him not to sing, but he didn't listen, he went on and gave the fans and the non-fans the best performance he could give. This band did everything to keep their fans happy.
How many artists today do you think would do that? For real???
Only the King Freddie Mercury 👑👑👑👑
One of the newspapers the following day was talking about how Queen dominated the show and they said, "Freddie Mercury commanded the stage, holding his funny microphone in one hand, the world in the other." Trey is 100% correct. From the moment they came out Freddie was all over that stage. Queen was used to playing to even bigger audiences than that. The other bands did not use much of the stage at all. That just showed the difference between the caliber of acts.
no smoke.. no fire. no lights , no autotune , no ear monerters no, reading the words on a tellapromters ,, just pure rock n roll
They were all college level graduates but not in music and played multiple instruments and all wrote #1 songs and are in the hall of fame. Freddie Mercury has passed in 1991. Brian May is Dr. Brian May and an astrophysicist and plays lead guitar and keyboard and piano.. Roger Taylor is the drummer but also graduated with a degree in biology and plays guitar. John Deacon plays Bass and keyboard and drums. He has retired but has a degree in electronics.
Brian had a no 1 in 2000 with five,rock you
He didn't have a no 1 while Freddie was alive
Roger hasnt had an independent no 1
Innuendo was written with Freddie
We have no idea if days of our lives would have reached no 1,it was released in Sept,no chart info
It was then released after Freddie death with bo rap the both at no 1 together uk
John had a no 1 in the us ABTD
Freddie had uk no 1 with bo rap
Innuendo with Roger
And us no 1 with crazy little thing
Edit
Queen and bowie no 1 under pressure

Queen is awesome watch Wembley 86 you see how amazing Queen is. Early Queen is also great. All albums have totally awesome songs.
I saw them at Wembley that year.
Still hearing We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, 1978! 43 years later! next one show him Another One Bites the Dust, studio! he'll know that one!
Yes, agreed!!!
its considered the best live ever in the history of music
Amen to that i remember it well
Watched it on TV live in 85 and was blown away. Still has the same effect on me now 35 yrs later.
One of!
One of... Monterey, Woodstock, Slane Castle, some unplugged sets... But definitely up there.
@@MrGlastar1 *the best
That was great! Your brother played it off like "it's all cool. I'll humor her". Then his eyes bug out when he sees the size of the crowd. :D
The crowd is actually only 72,000. It being an old style stadium layout makes it look like more, though many modern day stadiums hold far more.
Then you add the crowd in Philly plus on TV and you have over 1.6 billion. (yes. With a B)
Additionally, they were not all Queen fans as they were fans from a range of bands and artists due to the nature of the concert. Freddie still was able to play his favourite instrument - the crowd.
@@paulj7736 .. they may not have all been queen fans when they turned up. But I bet more than a few went home fans.
Everyone loves true talent. Freddie is just beautiful.
I was backstage at that concert in 1985. I was working for a great singer songwriter, called Cat Stevens [aka Yusuf Islam] and he was supposed to go on between Elton John and Wham but Elton overran by 15 minutes, so Cat Stevens agreed to drop his section from the set and Wham was cut, with Elton and George Michael doing a duet instead. It was a great concert and, personally, I'm glad I was backstage in comfort with Bowie, Bono and others, rather than being in that crowd.
Should have him check out "somebody to love" live in Montreal.
Omg thats the best
Im so grateful to be born in the 60’s grew up on such awesome legendary music🙏🏻 Freddie best front man ever and im a huge Layne and Chris fan
Me too!
I just recently discovered your channel........ what a thoughtful, deep and beautiful young woman you are. I love your content. I am a 73 yr old white woman and I am blessed to come across such a healing place on UA-cam. Music is the universal language that can make people drop their barriers and share joy, smiles and movement in the joy of music, and your eclectic choices of music starts genuine communication. You go girl !!❤️
And your brother is very cute
and listens with an open mind. You must have good genetics in your family.
You can tell towards the end that he was struggling with the throat infection. On the last line of we are the champions he drops out for a few words and Roger carries the song. Then he and Brian came back later in the evening and sang "Is This the World We Created", just Freddie and Brian's guitar.

P.S:
I’m so sorry about some parts that may be muted I muted our audio so you can hear the video audio since it was a major complaint in other videos involving my brother so I missed some parts when we were talking
This makes me overjoyed. The feeling you get when you open Tray's eyes to something he didn't know existed, that's the feeling we have when we can say "welcome! This is the understanding!"
Queen stole the show at Live Aid. Freddie was amazing but he had been told to to sing by his throat doctor. As gain, they were fantastic.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I still get chills when Freddie is live 😢
I get goosebumps. There will never be another like him.
Who doesn't.... Seeing Freddie like he's still with us. And that magnificent voice.
One wants to ask..... Wonder what he thinks of the fact that fans still love watching what he did. And how much we still celebrate the music.
I'd like to think he'd be over the moon.
I am glad tray gets to watch videos with you and comments with you great group
Freddie Mercury wrote Queens hit song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - as his tribute to Elvis Presley- wrote it in 10 minutes in his bathtub... and Queen put it on their Album, made it a single without any MJ involvement. "Another One Bites The Dust" is the song Queen's Bassist John Deacon wrote, which MJ insisted, Queen should make a single. To this day, both songs are in Queen's list of big hits.
I remember watching this live. It was broadcast around the world raising money for the African famine. It was a whole day event.
I was 26 when live aid happened and i missed out on tickets i wish i had been there. that stadium is Wembley Football (soccer) stadium our National Stadium in London. really enjoyed the review.
Michael Jackson was a big fan of Freddie and visit him in the locker room before his concert… he probably took some Freddie outfit when he did thriller video… the two bigger than life performer of their generation
Jayy. Girl! Sending love your way! Love that you are watching this with your brother. Queen for sure is awesome! My cat is sitting here with me. He likes your voice, whenever I play your stuff he comes over and stares at my screen.
Awwww
This was such an epic performance in front of a phenomenal audience. Where does an artist go after a high like this? Nearly 40 years later and I still get chills whenever I see this set. Freddie Mercury was at his apex as a performer. I would very much like to see your reaction to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.
Keep up the great work!
Can you imagine trying to find a bathroom in that crowd?😆😳
Imagine having to take a dump 🤣🤣😭😭 and your dead in the front
@@MrGrifter123
Just hope it’s not too smelly and stay put? 😳
I am lucky enough and old enough to have seen Queen live and no matter how much high energy you think they brought to the stage you should really times that by a thousand. If you've not done it yet you should listen/react to "Another One Bites the Dust" which will throw you and you will have definitely heard their soundtrack to the film Highlander especially "Who Wants to Live Forever". Also not sure if you've done "Barcelona" yet. Which is a duet with Montserrat Caballe as that will make you love Freddie even more.
would be great to see them both react to Barcelona at the same time, and see both of them react at once
I envy you.
@@destinidelmonico8854 don't I just got lucky.
I saw Queen as a opening act to Mott the Hoople in the 70's and left realizing I as looking at greatness.
First person I heard that seen them with Mott..how wonderful!
Can you remember what was played...so jealous here!
@@marggie4129 Remember? It was the seventies.. LOL I kinda remember Another one bites the dust. I do remember wondering why they were an opening band. Mott was big at the time. All the way to Memphis was a great song then.
Lol ok..
@@markoneil2055 LOL! Yes. I saw many many many bands in the 70's that are a little fuzzy :) I too was fortunate enough to see Queen but it was later when they were the only band playing. What year? I don't remember :P
There was one other song at night time. Freddy and Brian May came back out and sang a song they wrote called, Is This The World We Created. Look it up from live aide. Very much worth watching.
Yep... It's one of if the most beautiful moments ever!! Freddie and Brian had the whole world in their hands and brought us all together, even if just for that brief moment...
When queen performed live you were in for a real treat, Freddie had full control of a crowd of 100.000+,he once played in front of a crowd of 250.000 people in Brazil a true showman, glad you shared it with your brother 👍 RIP Freddie ❤️
I love seeing someone experiencing this for the first time. It makes it new, again, even though I grew up listening to these guys. So thrilled that you appreciate this music.
Was great to see you share Queen with your brother... he seems like a real sweetie...2 for 2...your momma got it right...lovely family 🇨🇦🖖🏻💥🥰
I rented a VCR from Rent-A-Center just so I could tape Live Aid off air. It took place in the UK and the US and lasted all day. Someday you should watch the whole thing. It was awesome. U2's set was pretty amazing also. And Phil Collins performed in London, then took the Concorde to the USA and played there on the same day. And Live Aid wasn't just a concert: It raised more than $125 million to fight famine in Etheopia.
Somebody to love Montreal and video for another one bites the dust and he will be hooked.
Great reaction! Some important context. There was a major famine in Africa that hit Ethiopia particularly hard during the early and mid-80s. Mass amounts of people (children) were literally starving to death. The music industry responded in a big way. First, in 1984 European musicians formed a huge supergroup under the name Bandaid and recorded Do they Know its Christmas to raise money for the famine relief effort. You probably know it. It’s still played at Christmas every year. Then, the following year in 1985, all of the major American stars recorded We are the World as USA for Africa. These two songs raised a tremendous amount of money. An Irish musician named Bob Geldof followed this by putting together a simultaneous concert in London and Philadelphia with dozens of major music stars which was broadcast around the world live. That is what Live Aid was all about. It was a massive event treated as a telethon so you could call in to donate as the concerts went on all day and into the night. I was 12 years old and I will never forget watching this and knowing how important it was. There were so many good performances (a few not so good) but there is a reason why we all remember Queen’s performance so we’ll and why it has breathed new life all these years later. Simply, they stole the show. I don’t know if it’s true, but in the movie about Freddie’s life, they show the phone lines lighting up with donations during Queen’s performance. I hope it’s true and wouldn’t doubt it. The point is, their performance had a greater importance beyond just putting on a good show and they absolutely came through.
Did you know that this stage performance was only part of an all day two nation worldwide Rock concert ALL the mega groups broadcast to the world. This was to raise money for the massive and deadly famine in Ethiopia. Look it up, this was in the Wembley Football stadium just a few thousand people there. We heard in our back garden with bar-b-as going all over. The US show was inLA I think
I love how your brother went from looking not interested at all and after a while he's smiling. The magic of Queen and Freddie Mercury 🤩🥰❤
Lucky enough to see these cats about 5 years before this. I was 18. To this day, one of the best concert I've ever been to.
This is awesome. My self-appointed job in my family is to show Queen to my nieces and nephews when I think they are old enough to appreciate them. You now need to show Trey a performance of the full Bohemian Rhapsody as well as Under Pressure.
Legendary is when your song gets 60,000+ people spontaneously singing to an empty stage while waiting for a Greenday concert to start. 50 years after it first became a hit. Most of them probably weren’t even born went it first hit the charts. I would love to see you react to that video if you haven’t done it already.
It has now become a regular feature of their live gigs.
Everyone loves joining in the fun.
@@richieb7692 I found other videos last year but completely forgot about. I think one was in the U.S. and one was from Argentina. Classic. Thanks for reminding me about it!
Best part of that show is when he thanks the fans for his fame and fortune and they acknowledge it. I love the few seconds of complete intimacy with the crowd. He has the attention of every single last person there from the second he steps on stage
Yeah, so sadly, he died in 1991 when I was in high school. People took it sooo hard, so many of us and our parents grew up on Queen. BUT, it's awesome folks like Jayy and Tray keeping Queen and Freddy's music and legacy around!!
Yeah, he died when I was in college. :(
The morning of 25th November 1991 was devastating for me, ironically I got my first subscription to the "International Queen fan club" half an hour through the post after I heard the news, cruel twist but I am still a member 30 years later.
I remember that day. I was on my way to SF in a ride-share work van, and it came on a local radio station we were listening to. The whole van just went so silent and normally we were all a talkative but it was still and somber for the rest of the ride.
@@The1queencollector 24 November my birthday, not 25
@@shirleycowell1514 read my comment, I found out on the morning of the 25th, he died 7pm on the 24th
I remember watching this live, I was 19. Getting old doesn't feel as bad if you witnessed things like this when you were young. It wasn't to long before this concert that Freddie found out he was HIV positive. Rest in peace brother.
Trey thinks he is at the concert love it.Queen the best ever GORGEOUS Freddie.
This was the best concert I've ever seen in my life, I'm in the crowd, so many people, so much fun...
Best ever.....so many memories.
Your so lucky. I couldnt be more envious. I was only 16. But i watched it at home. It was such a huge night. Much love to you. Xx
Thank you :) Great reaction with your brother. U2 was also in this concert, I believe only 2 songs. Queen and Freddie just amazing as always and what a voice, when you hear it, you know its the one and only Freddie.
Yes dear, Thankyou!!! 😁😁 Great to see that you reacted with your Brother, you 2 have good energy! I love the younger generation who are open to any kind of older music. Queen 4ever, they were one of a kind. Keep up the good work! Much bless and love.
David Bowie said 'How do i follow that?' The best 20 mins in music history. EVER. There is still only 1 Queen. Its Freddie. Miss you Freddie. Much love from England. Xxxxx
All four could sing! Freddie played both piano and guitar. All 4 added to the vocals. Freddie wrote and arranged most of their hits. They were incredible.
The greatest 20 minutes in rock and roll history! For one afternoon, England had a new Queen!
Nah. This isn't pure RocknRoll.
I absolutely love how genuine your reactions are and I can tell when u truly appreciate an artist, and your brother is like that too.. so cool
Ya you did! The Legend! No person has EVER been able to capture an audience like Freddie and never will.
I came from NYC to see Freddie n Roger n Brian and Queen at Live Aid I was 17. I cannot tell you what it was like but Amazing to have been there. I had seen Queen on their first US Tour at MSG in NYC and in also in Canada. That was the best show I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen Some of the best musician ever, this was hands down the best I have ever seen live in my life. But this was EPIC RIP Freddie
When We Will Rock You was played on the radio it was almost always followed by We Are the Champions because it was the next track on the album.
They were also the a and b sides on the same single.
Your bro was acting like"She going to make me listen to this sh*t" and then his face changed to DAMN this is GOOD! Freddie Mercury lives on through his music 🎶 and is touching this current generation's mind's and soul. RIP Freddie Mercury 1991 💗❤
72,0000 people at Wembley, another 100,000 in Philadelphia, and 1,2 billion watching on TV globally. The Olympics have 3 satellites...Live Aid had 13. I wasn't a Queen fan at all, but after that day..I was lol! The world for Africa!
I remember it was very hot that day in Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985 but it was worth it, best day in my life! 👏👏🇳🇱
Love the fact that you picked up on the energy level they were know for wanting audience participation ......it was the reason they wrote we will rock you.
Your brother loves Queen! That’s awesome! He appreciates good music!
Freddy played several instruments but his favorite one to play was the audience.
He did a fantastic of playing the crowd. Mic in one hand and the world in the other.
Will never forget July 13, 1985. Still have my VHS tapes of Live Aid, got my new contact lens that day, and went down to JFK Stadium (RIP) to see the Philadelphia side of Live Aid. What a great day!
Awesome reaction 👏👏👏👏👏
Very much enjoyed seeing your brothers reaction. After all this is a reaction channel. It's like getting a two for one. So thanks.
That stadium was full of ppl waiting for other bands. The audience wasn't filled with Queen fans. But they all knew the lyrics AND physical reactions for like Radio Gaga or We Will Rock You. THAT IS WHY QUEEN IS LEGEND!
If you get the chance to go see QUEEN + Adam Lambert after Covid, DO IT!!! I saw them 5 times so far and Brian and Roger still rock.
If you still have doubts, watch the docu The Show Must Go On on Netflix!!!!
I love how you can tell she genuinely appreciates the masterfulness of Freddie Mercury.
Watch the movie..Bohemian Rhapsody.
VERY slowly, as the songs play, one after the other, that smile slowly creeps across Tray's face! Queen can win EVERYONE over.
Doctor: I recommend you not perform due to the seriousness of your throat infection.
Freddie Mercury: Hold my beer!
I'm given to understand it was a screwdriver that afternoon....
Throat infection is putting it mildly, dude had full on aids at this point
I never get tired of watching this. It always puts a smile on my face and fills me with so much joy - the most incredible 20 minutes of music you will ever see. Freddie what is there left to say Legend Genius How we all miss your magic but what you have left us with to enjoy Love ❤ forever
Thank you two as young as you are, for appreciating Queen, they are one of my favorite bands. They had an endless amount of hits, and Freddy Mercury had one of the best voices ever. GOD bless him. R.I.P. Freddie.
Hey Jayy i see the love in your eyes Freddie did that to all of us men and women
It was an epic concert
Live aid in Freddie’s mind in my opinion, was he knew he didn’t have much tome left but he wanted to touch every persons heart on earth, and he sure did, even now long after he passed. His music gave people hope. There was way too much hate back then, kind of how it’s getting to be again, but their music and message will live on through All of us forever.
Thank you for your reaction.
No better frontman. Ever. He is so engaging. I wish I could have lived through this to enjoy it personally
Aw man - never laughed so much when your brother said he wouldn't be surprised if they did the star spangled banner next, Magic.............
Congrats, Tray, on being introduced to the genius and greatness of Queen! An amazing, amazing performance. Nobody could compete with Queen that day -- heck, people can't compete today. That was LIVE, that's now incredible Queen was.
Jayy, you need to show Tray Somebody to Love live from '81 and then a whole bunch of their Wembley '86 performances, including Under Pressure (Tray will surely recognize that infamous riff). Also - Fat Bottomed Girls and Don't Stop Me Now, my go-to happy song.
No stage was too big for Freddie. This may be the greatest performance of all time, any time, any place.
This was great...it wasn't 2 minutes in and his head was bobbing. I think he appreciated what he saw and your enthusiasm ...we all do.. And thanks for sharing this with family and friends Keep the classics alive!!
PS haters gonna hate.
Back then when we used to buy the vinyl single, we are the champions and we will rock you were what we called a double A side.x
The 'policemen' at the beginning are Mel Smith and Griff Rhys-Jones, two very popular comedians in the UK at the time.
What a great brother and sister video. Such a wonderful compliment to share this special love. Shared memories and experiences make us solid. Thanks for making us a part of this moment. 👩🏽🤝👨🏾
For this concert most bands came out and played a few songs. Freddie’s idea was let’s give them a mini concert in the short time we have on stage. They packed in as much as they could. He owned that crowd. Most amazing performance in the history of music. The greatest front man in the history of music. He always made sure the audience was involved as much as possible
I watched this video so many times too. And I’m always amazed. He was also sick with AIDS. RIP Freddy. No one will compare.
I love it more every time I see it. His voice just made it. Bless him...it's heart breaking that he left us so soon. R.I.P. Freddie xxxxx
Great Reaction. The interaction with the crowd was even more immense considering this was not a Queen crowd. They were just one of over 20 Artists who performed that day and they were only allowed 20+ Minutes so had to give long samples of their songs only. :)
The "official" crowd was 72,000 which was nonsense as that "old" Wembley Stadium held 100,000 NOT including all those endless thousands on the pitch. lol
The joke about noise complaints from the 2 Comedians dressed as Police Officers was the complaint was from "Belgium" over 200 Miles away :)
