The album version is Freddie's voice multi layered it's so beautiful.
Freddy indeed was a huge star....may I suggest "Love of my Life"....simply beautiful!!
oh yes! Live at wembley!!!
The acoustic version is perfection.
Original version before Freddy turned into the biker from the village people
Rock in Rio version is jaw dropping, not only could the crowd fill about 5 Wembley stadiums but keep in mind that Portuguese is their first language.
Yes yes and yes
The studio version with multiple overdubs of Freddie's voice is a vocal overdose for the ears!
I am 38 years old, I am Greek, I live in Russia and Koroleva has been my favorite band since I was 12, I love very different music, but they are my favorite. their music is very different, and written with soul, plus their group is all talented playing as one organism.
Just Freddie and the piano, who needs more? It's so simple and pure, but beautiful.
I don’t need more 🥰
For a rocking Queen experience listen to I WANT IT ALL.. He was dying but rocking hard
I guess it’s hard if you’ve never heard Ogre Battle or Seven Seas or Rye
Was it all worth it as well is a good one
@@demonhoopa It's definitely harder than Seven seas of rhye.
@@jacobpaulson23 You’re high lol
@@demonhoopa Uhh listen to both of them lol. Rhye is good but it definitely isn't harder than I want it all, mix is too mellow on it, so are the vocals.
Love Of My Life!!!!!
Freddie wrote this song for that special someone then invited them to the concert so he can perform it for them!! Golly 🥰 I’m “woo’d” by Freddie every time I see him perform! 💖💫💞💫💕💫✨✨Checkout the studio version 👑
If you want to hear some solo Freddie one of his last projects was an opera album called Barcelona with the famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe. They did a song called Barcelona which is the epitome of theatrics. It was was one of the first ever rock Opera collabs out there.
YES!
They would love "How can I go on" as well.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
@@luizde-rossi643 yep, just totally how Queen and Freddie Evolved...nothing like them🙏☺
...and of course off the Barcelona album, Exercises in free love (which is a Freddie only vocal) which he did to show Montserrat Caballé the part he would like her to sing and the finished song, Ensueño (Dreaming) both are spectacular as is Barcelona, which Freddie wrote as an homage to Montserrat's home city especially for her!
Now listen to the album version. I always imagined this was how Freddie presented this song to the band. Then Queen recorded their version of it. Both are beautiful in their own way.
I personal prefer the live,the emotion comes accross more to me
the studio version was just freddie harmonising
he said in an interview the others weren't involved
Thank you my favorite Freddie performance. Makes me weep every time. 😢. Please watch Love of my life -live. He wrote it for Mary Austin the love of his life.
Queen never disappoints
This is simply a gorgeous song and the Way Freddie controls his voice throughout is absolutely stunning. Excellent performance of this song, Thank you for reaction to this live version. This was a new song so the band hadn't recorded it yet so they decided that Freddie would do it by himself with just the piano. This was a free concert at Hyde Park at the end of a tour to thank all of their home fans for all their support. There were at least 150,000 people at this concert. What a thrill it would have been to be there.
Another Japanese-themed love song Queen wrote around this time was "Teo Torriate (Let Us Cling Together)". Brian May wrote that one, but Freddie's a star, as usual.
And yes, "Love of My Life" is a must.
One of the most beautiful songs in the world of music and the world
Awww my favorite Freddie song
His voice, the way He sings
Thank you
One of my favorites. Such feeling in his voice.... just amazing. thank you for this one.
Next you need to listen to “White Queen” live at The Hammersmith Odeon 1975.
Yes definitely x
@@lindsaycrellin4588 It's Queens best Rock Opera song ever IMO. Even tops Boh... ok, maybe not but White Queen at the Odeon is epic beyond words.
My absolute favorite Queen performance
Or at the rainbow in 1974, my favorite live performance by them on UA-cam
@@conah9440 "White Queen" has nothing to do with opera.
The most astonishing voice Rock Music ever heard.
Check out Freddie in Opera mode - Barcelona dueted with Montserrat
Oh my gosh!
This is a fantastic piece. This piano ballad was written by Freddie Mercury and is based on the Japanese pentatonic scale. Freddie never said who he wrote it for, the two most likely subjects are his lover David Minns and his lover Mary Austin.
There will never be another Freddy.
Also.....
"All dead"
All Dead All Dead is one of my all time favorites…and one of only a few I like off of News of the World
@@demonhoopa same!
Freddie mercury is increible in this song and the reaction of this guy is "toxic", "intense".
Just an extraordinary performance.
Kudos to Brad, you really got emotional hearing this beutiful piece of art.
The studio version of this song is a masterpiece
Glad yall listened and enjoyed this one. Freddy was so very talented.
Only just come across this... How on earth did Roger get through it? An absolutely beautiful song, Freddie would luv it darling ❤
"Love of my life" please.💛💛💛
Takes a lot of talent to sing with such emotion and play the only instrument, never mind write it!
“You gotta listen to this one.” And they did all 120,000+ of them. Not too many could pull that off.
FREDDIE MERCURY es eterno y sublime!
Hermoso, increíble. The Legend Freddie
This is a queen song. The studio version is also beautiful.
Freddie is captivating
You should listen to the studio version too, The whole band gets involved. The harmonies will blow you away
I am an ardent Queen fan and I love the studio version of this song, but this live performance is one of my most favorite performances by anyone, ever. There is just something about just Freddie and the piano that makes this already haunting song even more intimate…it works its way into your soul somehow. I am just grateful that it was recorded for everyone to see.
it's just freddie on this one,it says on wiki
also an interview with freddie sying it himself that it's just his vocls and tthe band weren't involved
@@bluebell3720 Yup, all Freddie on the vocals, guitarist Brian May commented his multi layering was so precise he voice phased "truly remarkable"
This is a great example of how great Queen was. This is one of their lesser known songs but still amazing.
This was at a special free Queen concert in Hyde Park, London. About 400,000 people showed up, more than expected. Local authorities pulled the plug on the power early because they were afraid things would get out of hand. Our 4 boy geniuses were hustled into a van & whisked away, not too happy about it.💙
I literally listen to this version everyday 😭😍 love Freddie and Queen so much
best thing I've heard freddie do.
That was neither theatrical or Operaish! That was PURE EMOTIONAL PERSONAL FEELINGS OF INTENSE LOVE!!!!
Definitely check out "Love of my life". Gets me tearing every time. And I love live performances, but their recorded tracks usually have more emotions due to mastering in my opinion. Glad you enjoy these legends 👍 ❤️ from France 🇫🇷
The whole band at various times branched out and did their own thing, (Roger Taylor's The Cross, The Brian May Band, John Deacon's Immortals and of course Freddie's solo work) but they always returned to what they referred to as "The Mother Ship".
I DIDN'T know about John Deacon's Immortals?🤯
@@marciebulsaraorcutt They were very short lived, recorded only one single and worked on the soundtrack for the movie 'Biggles'.
SECOND VIDEO THAT I HEAR YOU SAY IS A VERY DIFFERENT SONG.....WELCOME TO QUEEN!
I agee love of my live
The story of Queen, with Freddie at the center, is without doubt compelling. Each band member has a story and there is a different color thread between each of them. This song that night was for a lover sitting in that crowd...imagine that hitting you and you can't let out a scream.
GOOSEBUMPS HOLYSMOKES!!🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH......I first heard queen at 12 years old on the radio playing bohemian rhapsody. Im 59 year old UK and have never heard this before. my wife and i are as blown away as you are. thank you for bringing this to our attention :-)
You will enjoy, Love of My Life, live in Rock in Rio. 250,000 in attendance sing the song to Freddy.
Freddie did have solo albums outside of Queen and they’re brilliant. After you’ve gone through Queen material which I hope continues, you should check out his solo work.
Especially, his work with Montserrat Cabellé
Brian & Roger also did solo work one AMAZING band love them ❤️
@@lindsaycrellin4588 I forgot to mention that but spot on. They’re all incredible!
mr bad guy didn't bang that big as it was anticipated back then but songs like made in heaven or i was born to love you are classics
That was beautiful !!!!!
Everbody just reacts to the live version of this gem ... the studio version is awesome and needs to be heard!
Anyone else just waiting for Brad to look into Lex's eyes and tell her she takes his breath away!?
Freddie was an intense person..
So beautiful. About a man he was in love with who was at the concert that night.
I am not sure how accurate the movie about him Bohemian Rhapsody is, but I absorbed it, ya'll should watch. like I said, how so much I did not know, that conert for Liive Aid was EPIC! I watched on tv at my Dads as it happened, no, is wasn't hd and the screen was far from 70 inches, but the impact was the same , I knew some things but back then there was no internet, and I am 66...and I loved their music and his voice and stage presence, he was born to be a performer..and he did it...the worst thing about gettin old is the longer you live the more people you lose....such is life! Ya'll really should watch that movie, the acting, to me was incredible and, like I said , I do not how accurate it is but it is Amazing
Deffinatly agree on this one
can you imagine there were more than 150 000 persons in that free concert in Hyde Park ?
Freddie, Brian and Roger did solo albums while in Queen during a break from touring and recording
I'm Going Slightly Mad is one of my favorite videos of Queen because it is different and quirky.
I saw this tour at Cole field house at the University of Maryland in 1976. With Thin Lizzy as the opening band. Absolutely incredible show
Brad and Lex. Check out Jim Croce, "Ive got a Name"
Thank you for this!!!
Love this song 💕
No, Freddie wasn't a star. Freddie was a Superstar.
Every time i hear this song i am crying...
TRIUMPH - "World Of Fantasy". Excellent musicianship. Canadian rock, 70s/80s. High, smooth vocals, positive vibes.
Funny that you mentioned THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW …… Did you know that Freddie was offered the part of Frankenfurter? He turned it down three times. Tim Curry took on the role & made pop cult history. Tim Curry & Freddie were good friends, too! 😁
Later, Freddy did go solo, but returned.They needed eachother.
Queen was such an incredible band. Back then it seemed they could do anything and the great thing was they often did! 😀
Thankyou darlings! Freddie was really something else. Queen indeed were very versatile, just amazing. Hope to see more! May I suggest Now I’m Here live at Wembley or Who wants to live forever live at Budapest. Much bless to you and keep up the good work
Miles away from Another One Bites the Dust heard at so many sports events. Singers with 4 octave range usually have high voices.
Wow! So beautiful!
The most beautiful and romantic peace written by freddie gives me chills every time ilusten to this song amazing atrue legend guys you have to listen to more solo Freddie's no one can sing like him ever love him
Queen songs can be so different from each other and you never know what to expect sometimes. If you want to listen to another one of their songs that you will have a hard time believing it’s them singing, please check out “Bring Back That Leroy Brown”. They could write/sing a song about watching paint dry and it would be amazing to listen to. 😆 Loving your reaction videos!!
Beautiful ❤️
All he Best and keep up the imaginative and highly articulate descriptions of these tracks you are right more then you are wrong
Long Live Brad The Ballad Boy & Lex The Rock Chick
I cant wait till you get to kind of magic and Lose your head & Live for ever will blow your mind
Freddy was Solo See Barcelona live in Barcelona your head will spin
To think, that was live!! So much Queen, such little time!! Genius. I like you guys!! great song selections….
Brad's reaction to Rocky Horror Picture Show would be amazin.
In 1978 Queen played their News Of The World concert at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood California. I was 19 and the concert was great. They opened with We Will Rock You.
YOU GUYS DO KNOW THAT FREDDIE DID AN ALBUM OF OPERA, RIGHT?
In 1987, Fred was the FIRST singer/musician to cross music genres/collaborate with someone in a different music field, when he made the operatic album Barcelona with Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe. It is FANTASTIC.
He also did a solo album titled Mr. Bad Guy in 1985. Brian May and Roger Taylor have both also had separate solo careers... There's no doubt that Queen would've ALWAYS stayed together with Freddie as front man. (Fred made a point of saying during every show of their 1986 tour: "We're going to stay together till we F____g well die!") Freddie would doubtless have had a prolific solo career on-the-side, as well.
....Freddie wrote this song "You take My Breath Away" for his would-be first boyfriend, David Mann. (It was during this time that Fred would confess his gay sexuality to his fiancée Mary Austen/breaking off their engagement.) Freddie had been wooing him... David had told Freddie "But, I don't fancy you?" Freddie just replied "Don't be silly, I'll make certain you fancy me!" David was in the audience at this show, and Freddie had told him he had a surprise/was going to sing something special for him.💕
they were together in 76
david said GOFLB off the same album was for him
david said they had known each other quite a while before they started dating and had bee together two months wen he told him to tell mary or he would leave
@@bluebell3720 Oh, I didn't know about "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" being for David as well! I did know that they had "gotten together"/were together before Freddie broke off his engagement with Mary, though. (Did Mary ever know about David? Because when Freddie ended the engagement, he/she just discussed his sexuality... but he didn't actually "come clean" about being with David, did he?)
@@marciebulsaraorcutt
we don't know, must be difficult for Mary to talk about it at all,she hasn't mentioned David but she must have known
but if it was part of the initial discussion I have no idea
David wasn't going to stay with him if he didn't tell mary and split up with her
David had gone to the flat and met Mary,according to him anyway
Freddie arranged a flat for Mary and moved into a flat with David so even if it wasn't said directly she would have realised
would have been difficult enough without saying oh by the way I'm seeing someone else and would have hurt her more
there is a picture of the three of them together when Freddie was with David properly
He wrote it about the love of his life Mary Austen
PLEASSE listen to the studio version, in your free time if not in a video. It has the most amazingly beautiful harmonies of any queen song. Brian has cited its intro in a few recent interviews as his most impressive harmonies. As much as I love the live version nothing can live up to the harmonies of the studio version.
I was there. But it was Saturday 18th Spetember 1976.
React to PLAY THE GAME, live at Milton Keynes...all i can say is FIRE
The problem with queen is you have a new favourite song everytime you listen to them. So happy I came across this from you guys
LEGEND
i never heard this one...haunting...i love how he did whatever he wanted...great.
Freddie is only in his early twenties here. He wrote this song. I think he wrote over 75 for Queen- the an entire album on his own ‘ Mr. Bad Guy’ and of course the fab ‘Barcelona’ album!
Hello can you to Queen live aid 1985 !
One of the best live performance ever !
This is one of the few live performances I’ve heard him hit all the high notes. He usually sang an alternative lower note ducking the “difficult” stuff.
This is really impressive. Glad I got to see it
It's a younger Freddie?
@@JosephHuntelvisnspiders That’s a good point, he was better in the early years, I mean the most impressive live queen stuff on UA-cam is mostly from 1974 imo. But even in the early days he used to cheat a little, not like at Live Aid where he literally didn’t sing one song like it is on the album unless it was an easy one from the 80s maybe.
But this performance proves he can do it. As a fan it always bothered me when he wouldn’t do it live. At least this proves he COULD…..at least in 1975
@@demonhoopa sure, I seen them twice in the 80s and as a singer I get what you're saying. But recording in a studio with as many breaks as you want and replicating we are the champions after a 2hr live set is impossible. All good singers know their limits and how much they can risk and push their voice over a long period before it tires and you start losing pitch. He was a master at it.
Listen to the album version. 😉
Brad's hilarious 😂
well I had to fly over here when I saw this one come up. MY Favorite Freddie song. so pure. so intense. wearing his heart on his sleeve. It's almost painful yet beautiful at the same time. Freddie never said who he wrote it for. If I hazard a guess, I would say Freddie wrote it about his first bf, David, because the lyrics sound to me like he's in a new relationship that he's unsure of how it will turn out. We'll never know. But whoever they were, he was certainly enamored of them.
I think it was for David Minns who was there that night.
You need to hear the full song, the album version
Masterful performance
He had such a powerful voice. I remember I saw them live for the News of The World tour (so 1977 or 78), he went off pitch at one point. But even though it was a mistake, the wrong pitch was done with such power it was impressive.
Legend
This is early Queen, very different to 80's Queen but still amazing. I love watching you discover the genius that is Freddie Mercury.
I was a huge Queen fan in the 1970s. Frankly, I never cared for their big hits that came after 1976. Songs like "You Take My Breath Away" are from what I consider their best period. But not everyone agrees.
With you. I lost interest with Flash Gordon.
Hell yes! The first 3 queen albums are my absolute favorites. The next two albums are good too. I’m lukewarm on the late 70s stuff and absolutely hated the 80s/synthesizer/mustache era.
Yes, in the mid seventies they were at their highest level and the most interesting rockband ever. Freddie is still praised for his charisma, showmanship and singing abilities,..........but as a songwriter he was really out of this world. His catalogue is absurd.
If you like variety and innovation don't be the last to react to Queen's 'Seaside Rendezvous', another classic, far off the beaten path.
Music to the movie Highlander done by Queen
He was the greatest rock singer of all time. Beautiful voice. AIDS is such a horrible disease.
