I think the members respect John's decision to have retired. Have you ever seen the documentary "The show must go on"? They didn't just inject a "younger singer" to bring the songs "back to life". Brian nd Roger pretty much thought they were done as a band but then their keyboard players wife saw Adam on American Idol, who ironically enough auditioned with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and she said you have to see this kid perform. He did and ended up showing Roger who then showed Brian and they loved him. They then by chance or perhaps fate performed on the finale of American Idol, where Adam was one of the two finalists. It is evident that Brian preferred playing to Adam that night because essentially they were auditioning him and he did not even know. He ended up "winning" by losing that competition because now he is a part of the biggest rock band ever. Freddy paved the way for someone like Adam to not only be able to perform whilst being openly gay but Adam quite literally gets to stand on a stage and carry on this amazing band and bringing it to a new audience. It is sad that people keep comparing them and that Adam quite literally has to say at every concert that he is not replacing Freddy. It is not a tribute band but it is a tribute to Freddy still. I would have like to have seen Adam perform "Who wants to live forever" due to everything that is happening in the world right now. I know this was a celebration for the Queen and though I don't think she would have minded, perhaps it would have come across a bit sad due to the passing of Prince Philip. Roger and Brian seems to be so happy when we see them on stage now and Adam is the reason they get to do that now, so perhaps it's time we give him the credit that is due to him.
Freddie can never be replaced, but Adam Lambert is a decent stand in and doesn't deserve the criticism from certain quarters.
I chuckle when reading all the ‘I miss Freddie’ comments. Adam has been with Queen for 10 yrs now… Brian and Roger adore him. He doesn’t try to copy Freddie - he does the songs his way. And.. more importantly.. Brian and Roger WOULDN’T BE THERE IF NOT FOR ADAM. PERIOD. Get over it folks.. be happy for them.. ALL of them.. bc they’re still out there having fun and singing their songs!!! BTW.. for those thinking Adam isn’t reverent enough - just watch some of the interviews and their concerts… he ALWAYS honors Freddie, Roger and Brian. ALWAYS!!!
Exactly. As Roger has already said numerous times 'Fred's dead and John's not coming back, move on'
Thank you!
Thanks to Adam Lambert Freddie's Music Lives On and On. He always shows Respect and Love for
Freddie Mercury ❤❤❤
Best performance of the evening! Queen excelled and rocked!
My favorite was Diana Ross at the end.
Adam is the only person who has the voice to cover all the Queen songs. Listen to Adam in a stadium. Plenty of videos of youtube.
Did you see all these happy faces? That alone was worth watching.
--Looking at your eyes I think you heard Freddie singing in the back of your mind . So did I.
--Got tears again, when the crest, that Freddie had designed showed up behind Roger.
-- And shout out to Spike on the piano, who has been with them for so many years.
Thank you ☮
With ALL due respect to Freddie (love(ed)) him so much & without a doubt irreplaceable, Adam can do it all as far as vocal range goes. Bri & Roger have stated that numerous times. 🖤
No he canmt. He can’t sing rock, he can’t sing a cappella, he can’t build harmonies, he can’t stay away from overusing rubati and fermatas. Lambert is a very overhyped mediocre singer pimped out on the musically challenged audience by Maylor who need to sell tickets. It’s a travesty.
That crowd made me remember of live aid
LOL! I thought the opposite: "This is nothing like Live Aid". In fact, I turned it off and watched "Champions" at Live Aid.
Isn't it just so incredible how their music has transcended time and brought forth to celebrate this special occasion and as the opening? What a testament to the lasting power of their music and the legend that has been created! I think Freddie is smiling. Especially at the Queen and Padddington tapping in time! Time goes forward and I'm just so glad that this music is kept alive! Thank you!
They are such showman they understand their audience. I am so proud that Queen has a yankee singing because he has been successfully been singing with the Brit band for years
This was so much fun to watch. You can see how much the band loves Adam and at the end of their show if you notice the smoke that went up were the Pride colors.
Thanks for that observation, it had escaped my notice. Brilliant for everyone but especially for both Freddie and Adam.
I had seen this when it happened. I was floored, there on tour now. I didn’t expect them to be there. Bri going up like it was the last jubilee where he played on the roof of the palace. 🤘🏼❤️🔥
I agree Queen + Adam Lambert were the best act on the night! Wish they had finished the night off as well!❤️🎸❤️🥢❤️🎤
I can't help it...The whole time I was only wishing Freddie was there, with his powerful voice. And, of course, John :-) Whatever someone may think, Freddie was bringing the best out of the band, pushing their limits as far as possible with each new performance (because "You're as good as your last show, that 's what people remember" - Freddie's words).
Yes, there was power missing to the Red Special, and there was no Freddie to challenge them, but we should take into consideration Dr.Brian's and Roger's age too..:-)
And, the crowd was able to enjoy the iconic songs played live again, that was nice to see.
Only We (you included) die hard fans, who have watched Queen with Freddie so many times (live or on YT :-) that we recognize every note, every small detail, even their moods or secret signes, only we can see the difference between then and now. But that's why Freddie still lives in our hearts.
Brian and Roger have all my respect - I'm glad they found a way to get out there and live the dream again - but I found this particular appearance unwatchable (but I did watch it all the way through with the family). Very glad others could enjoy. I'll leave it at that.
@ snjezana You & I both have some same thoughts in our brains & you said this better than I did on my comment. Thanks for your comment. Adam is good but the 2 Queen LEGENDS on that stage are cemented in our memories. When AL sings I organically tune out & hear Freddie's legendary voice. & recognize every note & every signal to each other as you explained so well. The younger fans love Adam but perhaps will never understand what the 4 Queen members gave to us over those 1970s & 1980s years. Q+Paul Rodgers & Q+AL are enjoyable but not even close to not just Freddie's voice but Freddie's charisma, charm, musical passion & legendary love for his fans. I actually think the " Q+Paul Rodgers in Ukraine concert " & their other live shows are the best "Q+" concerts ever done after they lost Freddie, everybody should play them & you'll be astounded how great, GREAT Paul is with Queen. Anyway, loved your comment. I hope the AL fans will understand one day. As John Deacon announced when he left Queen upon Freddie's passing, "There is no Queen without Freddie Mercury "... I think it should now be realized that there is no Queen without Freddie AND without JOHN DEACON as well.
@@lcbcreative 100% agree
@@susancooper3111Thank you, Susan, 🙏 You also said it very well with your own words...I think Queen fans understand each other telepathically 😊 The power of Music! 🎶
In Rogers own words ‘ ….
Love your honest reaction, and so nice to see Queen kicking of the party in style, they did a great job, so I got to see Queen twice within a week I was at their concert 6 days earlier, and boy they can still put on a show, I do miss Freddie and John but at least they are still getting their music out there eith Adam for the younger generation to experience and enjoy x
I LOVED that, and Adam is SUCH a find. Wonderful, joyful performance. I'm so glad we can watch and listen to that fantastic inclusive music, wonderful. We can be wistful about Freddie, but he's gone and Adam is here and he's a brilliant singer with camp charisma. And through him we can see brilliant performances of FREDDIE'S songs, alive and evolving and wrapped in the original band. We are lucky.
Thanks Hap! IMO, it wouldn’t have been the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee without our favorite band Queen! I too think Brian struggled with sound after We will Rock you? It seemed to finally came through in the last of We are the Champions. But in true Queen fashion, they continued like the professionals we know them to be, they delivered and delivered BIG!! It was great to hear Freddie, they never leave him out, and Adam Lambert sounds fantastic. The thing about Adam is he can consistently sing these songs, hard songs, and he very much looks and sounds the part. Not many in the world has those qualifications AND was selected by Brian and Roger? We cannot forget that fact.
Roger on those drums was a beautiful thing. And Spike on the piano. Just a great 3 song set and perfect for this moment in time! Miss Freddie and miss John and always will. But we still have Roger and Brian and that is a big deal! ❤️
Yes we still have Roger And Brian 👑👑👑👑
I, too, missed Freddie for this performance. I miss Freddie....period. This is the first time hearing Adam Lambert sing with the boys. Previously, I just couldn't bring myself to listen without Freddie. Adam is OK but anyone singing Freddie is just OK. In the footsteps of Mr. Freddie Metrcury, being OK is a complement. I could not help becoming emotional when hearing this and in it's context. Playing at such an occasion is one of the highest forms of respect to the boys, too. I am anxious to hear the names, Sir Brian May and Sir Roger Taylor and, posthumously, Sir Freddie Mercury. Maybe John would come to his knighting ceremony. 😉 I respect your decision, John. Thanks for sharing this with us. I wasn't aware that this performance existed. Without subscriping to "our" channel and chosing to be notified of new reactions I would have missed this one.
Knighthood cannot be bestowed posthumously, which sucks. Off topic a bit but I thought Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees (one of the top 5 acts of all time) deserved one as well for his philanthropic and historic work. He was long time President of the British Heritage Society, driving force behind the Bomber command Memorial dedicated by the Queen a month after he died, patron of Outreach for underprivileged children, a spokesman for refugees and veterans, president of the Composer's Union that stopped songwriters from being ripped off AND for his singing and composing. Unlike his brother Barry who was knighted, he never took US citizenship and stayed in the UK. Neither John Lennon nor George Harrison were knighted either. There are a lot of people who deserved knighthood more than some who have received it. 😒 GAWD, the pervert pedophile Jimmy Savile was knighted!!!!!!

@@lcbcreative @susieQ I am glad to hear the explaination! Thanks for sharing. Being from Austin,

@@johnfarmer7119 - Coincidentally, since you're from Austin you are actually living in the same city as Robin Gibb's son Spencer. Small world. All the best John. 😜
Check out some of the concert videos to see Adams range. His voice is very powerful and he has covered so much of the bands catalog over the years that Brian and Roger have said he can sing any of the songs and in Freddie's original key! Not many can do that!
I was so THRILLED that they telecasted this in the USA. What a real thrill it was to see QUEEN opening for THE QUEEN! The whole concert was EXCELLENT! I think Adam did Freddie PROUD! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN and QUEEN FOREVER❤ RIP FREDDIE 11/24/1991 ❤🌹
a queen singing with queen for the Queen
@@julicooke4266 no need for that! We really don't care!
Adam has an amazing voice and can sing anything queen are fantastic💖💖💖
Thankyou dear! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the Queen love, your reactions are a pleasure to watch, as always. Much bless and love to you, and keep up the good work.
Queen is loud👑👑👑👑💕💋❤️🔥turn it all the way up🎶Best Rock Band forever
I searched this out on YT a few hours after it took place so this was my 2nd time seeing it. My first thought was Brian wasn't as high up as he was the last time I saw him play at the palace 😉 I wonder if because it wasn't a Queen (the band) concert, but instead FOR the Queen, if maybe they tamed it down a bit? But like you said it was still very good. I've never searched out Queen with Adam before. Maybe something to do and see how that song is played outside of a more formal event.
What songs would I choose besides these? So many! But of course some might not be a good fit for the occasion.
Sometimes it's easy and sometimes very hard to read you when you do reactions. This one was easy. I could feel you being proud of your country and especially with a favorite band playing a tribute to your Queen. Long may she reign.
After your reaction, I went back to my ABC channel recording & there they do sound clearer, louder & sharper. Their medley of songs was not as dynamic as you want the Red Special to sound. (perhaps there were limits set by the producer of the event)? I was happy they chose two of Freddie's songs out of the three! I just caught you wondering how Freddie's voice would be today. Well, we know Roger & Brian still both sing. Roger's vocals have aged a bit. He's got a pleasing, if more raspy (is that possible?), tone. Brian's voice today is actually quite young sounding. Very lovely. I'd like to think today Freddie's would be just fine. Powerful when required. Sweet and smooth as silk when not. Freddie performed for our hearts, not just our ears.
I honestly think Freddie would have been done with big tours by this time, although his voice would have remained magnificent. There were so many other artistic avenues he seemed to want to explore. I can imagine him continuing to write songs in many, many genres. His creativity seemed endless. From My Fairy King to A Winter's Tale. He would have been an excellent music producer also. Or maybe a composer of scandalous Broadway musicals. (a girl can dream!) I can definitely imagine him still singing - I just think the rock concert circuit would have gotten old for him. Wouldn't be like him to just stand at a microphone for two hours.
It’s a Queen Jubilee at all levels 👑 Love Love 🥹👏👏🥰 OMG!!
Why am I crying, Hap??? I MISS FREDDIE!!!
Absolutely Fantastic!! Fantastic Reaction HAP! 🔥🥰🔥
This is the first time I've heard Adam and he wasn't as bad as I'd imagined although I'm still not sure what I think of this version of Queen. I haven't followed the Jubilee celebrations so I enjoyed this. Thanks for a great reaction, Hap! 💕
So did you know that Brian played on the rooftop of the palace at the last jubilee just wondering.
Hi Teresa, I knew but I still haven't seen it.
Give a listen to Adam and Queen doing Who Wants toLive Forever at the Isle of Wight Festival. Iconic.
Chris, find Marc Martel and One Vision of Queen. THAT is Queen. This is a hyped up pantomime with May and Taylor trying to stay relevant.
Saw them live last week, I love Adam, they all were phenomenal. Blew me away!
I loved it when I saw you were doing the reaction to this. Your reaction was so honest and real. That is what I like about watching your videos. In his performance I missed Freddie even more.. he would have been so proud watching them performing for Queen's platinum Jubilee celebrations. What an honour for Queen. Great reaction as always! Thank you for sharing the moment.
Great commentaries congratulations¡¡¡ viva queen forever
Another celebratory performance that will go down in history!! QUEEN & Adam L. Performing at THE QUEENS jubilee!! How awesome was that!! I do agree the red special didn't have that powerful sound that it usually has but maybe it was requested that the performance be more subdued a bitwith the choice of songs and the time frame allotted. Or even those were the QUEENS personal favorites!!! IT'S difficult not to envision FREDDIE not being there and John too! For this special occasion!! FANTASTIC REACTION, HAP!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!! 💜🎵👑
The Queen is 96. She was born in 1926 so she'd be almost 50 when Bo-Rhap was released and over 50 when all the songs played at the pageant were released. I doubt they're her personal favourites. They could be Charles's but I never had him down as a rocker. I think it's more to do with the songs being well-known sing-a-longs and apt for the occasion.
Was there Adam did a fab job Fred. Would approve. Clapping was done before as warm up no one kñow not even. Family
yes INDEEDY that was THE QUEEN
I totally agree it could all have been louder. - - This was the only day off at their tour - 2 concerts before - and 2 concerts after - so 5 days in a row!! The two elderly gentlemen turned 73 (Roger) and 75 (Brian) in July. Well done . They were there 20 years ago - more majestic - with orchestra on the ground and Brian with his Red Special on the roof of Buckingham Palace - - playing God save the Queen. That was loud. Find it if you haven't seen it.
Paddington and the Queen can actually rock, LOL! That WAS definitely Elizabeth. The whole bit with her and Paddington is very funny. You should have a look at it. Remember when she "parachuted" out of the helicopter with Daniel Craig at the last London Olympics? Of course it wasn't her but, followed by a herd of corgis, she went into the copter with Craig and she "parachuted" out with him. Then she entered the stadium wearing the same dress. Even the family had no clue she was going to do that or this bit. She does have a great sense of humour beneath that dignified demeanor. Queen Victoria's statue is looking down on them from behind thinking...WTF!!!!!
I never really cared for Adam before but he acquitted himself admirably (royally?) here. His performance seems more staged while Freddie's was more spontaneous. Will always miss Deaky.
As for the Queen, whether one approves or disapproves of a monarchy, she respected the tradition and did her job with dignity and devotion for SEVENTY years and dozens of PMs and Presidents and even prior to that in WW2 as a truck mechanic. Good for her. 👑👑
That was shit hot 🔥, I think the “The Red Special” was drowned out by the crowed 😂….overall EPIC
Best of the whole concert, love the fact that you actually called him Doctor Brian May
Did you notice the drum line making mustaches with the sticks?
If the band was The Royal Marines, it's common practice and not a reference to Freddie (sorry!). I've just checked and yes - it was the Marines. From one of their community sites: "it imitates the arm swinging of the foot soldiers. As we have to drum whilst marching it is a bit like swinging our arms. In the drum statics it is for visual effect only". So - in this case - a convenient visual coincidence. :D
There’s been a lot of hate on UA-cam for Adam and Queen since the performance.. I’m sick of it, if people don’t like Adam that’s fine.. just don’t watch them anymore.. watch old recordings of them and Freddy instead.
Keith, his name is Freddie not Freddy. Believe me most of us listen to the original band, and watch original concerts. If I want to watch karaoke I'll go to a local bar. But if fans of the original band and their opinions bother you, just scroll past. No big deal.
Roger and Brian CHOSE Adam because of his unmatched vocal abilities. How is it “karaoke” when the band literally chose him? It’s like everyone wants Queen to retire because Freddie died. This is madness. Both Roger and Brian know that Freddie would have loved and admired Adam as they do. The puritanical criticism of him irritates me immensely.
We all LOVE Freddie but seriously, the guy died. You either want to see the Surviving members rock the house down or not. I think it’s insanely bold and brave of Adam to get up there and face this constant scrutiny. He is a legend in his own right and he’s got the green light from me.
I do I'm addicted
What an epic performance! Adam and Queen looked and sounded amazing! I loved Queen with Freddie and I love them with Adam. You have to admit Adam can sing!❤️
I’ve been a Queen fan for many many years , I was lucky enough to see them live with Freddie . I have also seen them with Adam live and he was brilliant , I thank God them finding him to front the band so that younger generations can appreciate Queens music . It’s not a competition, Freddie isn’t here ( R.I.P) and Adam is an AMAZING vocalist. As Rodger said on a documentary, if you don’t like it f*ck off ! Freddie wasn’t the only band member , Brian wrote We Will rock you , and We are the champions. . Along with lots of their hits , Radio GaGa , Fat Bottomed Girls , Flash , I want it all, Hammer , show must go on , Who wants to live forever to name a few . Queen wasn’t just Freddie Mercury they shouldn’t have to die with him. Anyone complaining isn’t a true Queen fan they are just a Freddie Mercury fan. And if they think Adam is karaoke they haven’t seen him live or they have no ear for music . He doesn’t try to be Freddie at all , he puts him own twist on there songs .
I believe that Adam has a good voice and as he always says he's not imitating Freddie and he can't replace Freddie. They have different style. I can't help it but missed Freddie. I must say NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL. Thank you for your nice reaction Hap!
I was there loved Fred Adam did s fab job. Clapping r ecord ed as couple of hour no one know what was about to happen
Louder! 😂
Wonderful performance by Queen for The Queen!!! What a massive event!! Great reaction HAP!🌻🌻
Other songs played for this event? Not certain whether any others would be appropriate, Hap. What I do know is that QAL had finished a 2.5-hour concert in Glasgow, not 15 1/2 hours prior to *this* performance in London. Remarkable! Especially for Brian, who turns 75 yrs/of age in a month, and Roger who is @72/3 yrs of age. Adam (a young 40-year-old) I've grown to truly appreciate what he contributes and the opportunity he provides for Queen and all their fans! Thank you for such a good reaction, Hap 🙂
Imagine that!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You are correct about the previous evening’s performance. It was brilliant, thank you for your comments.
Dear haps! you're right about guitar, but the main thing is Freddie s absence! Imagine Freddie was there!! It would be incredible. The royal performance with magical Freddie, s voice! Oh I wished 😕
Adam Lambert is the best vocalist-entertainer! Thank you for reacting!
They reach out to John for everything. They seldom even get a reply.
In my opinion, it's not just the guitar mix. I think it's a bad mix all around. I don't like the way the vocals, drums, EQ, etc. are mixed either. It could be just the video. Hard to say. I would think they would have brought their own sound engineer but maybe they were not allowed? Who knows? That said, I still enjoyed it but while Adam had some outstanding vocal moments, I really, really missed Freddie. I think Freddie's vocals would have been fine but it doesn't matter what Freddie's voice would have sounded like, in my opinion, because the energy he brings to the band and the crowd sends everyone over the top to a level I've seen no one else achieve. Thanks for the reaction!
The royals are familiar with Queen. Charles and Diana sat with Brian and Roger at Live Aid. And Diana was friends with Freddie. Don't know if the bar story is true or not though.
Not according to Peter Freestone (from The Daily Expess): "No, not at all. Maybe Diana went with Kenny but Freddie wasn’t there. He never met her." He went on to tell us that even at Live Aid Freddie declined a chance to hang out with the princess: "You see Brian May and Roger Taylor in the royal box. Freddie didn’t go. He was more interested in being with friends backstage, talking with Elton John, hanging out with his people. His friends were always the most important to him." The "photo" of Freddie and Diana that exists is a photoshop. Diana's replaced Barbara Valentin.
RE red special sound….Apparently there were some sound issues, the rehearsals sounded far better according to those there.
As far as Freddie’s voice, that’s difficult to say. His voice wasn’t at its best by 1986 & it had changed significantly by 1989 due to the smoking….but of course changed again by 1990 due to his illness….
Set list was very limited due to time & also wanting to do uplifting stuff.
You should check out AL signing who wants to live forever at Isle of Wight festival….superb vocals
I agree it was not the greatest choice of songs for the occasion. "I'm a sex machine ready to reload-" at the Queen's 70th Jubilee, really?? Maybe In the Lap of the Gods Revisited would have been nice with the sing-along section that is so beautiful and uplifting? A lovely Queen rendition of God Save the Queen? Some of Innuendo?
Lap of the Gods is actually one of my favorite songs that Adam sings at their shows. It really fits his voice well.
i think the loudness depends on the accoustics. Its outside. They performed brilliantly as usual.
The Queen was so cool, guess she's a Queen fan which is how it should be! Whenever I see members of the band honored this way, and Brian and Roger certainly deserved to be there, it's a little bittersweet because I think if only things had been different Freddie would have been there too, but I guess that's life. I try to look at it as this performance made Freddie's music live on!
Thanks, Hap - I agree - you can never get enough Red Special!! It took me a while to bring myself to listen to Adam... and then I loved him.. he is awesome.. but still, in this performance.. IDK.. wish he had been a bit more forward(?).. he was "good".. but I suppose I'm holding him to an impossible standard.. lol
OK Brian's guitar was a bit more subdued than usual but I really loved that coat, in Brian's favourite black and white featuring almost, if not all of the UK's wild animals he has campaigned to protect over the years.
And yes that really is the Queen doing the intro for Queen and Adam Lambert, only Paddington is CG'ed in.
What do you think to bri and rog still killing it it their mid 70's!?
There's a few old songs Adam has done live over the past 10 years touring with them that test him on you tube.
He's no Freddie, but I absolutely get why they chose him
I haven't watched a full set im not taking to Adam
But I looked up their set apparently they've added take my breath away I dont think it was on previous tours
But it's a tape of Freddie
He had already said he wasnt interested in being in the music industry any more after Freddie passed.
I saw bits of performances and all seemed to have very bad sound. Queen, of course, was better! In fact, very good though it just makes me think of Freddie. I was imagining what it feels like for Brian and Roger to want Freddie and John to be there. I did see a short video clip recently where Brian said they had asked John a couple of times to perform with them and he always says he doesn't do that anymore. Makes me sad. Could they just invite him for tea and see if he'd go? I'd like to think of an offstage reunion, at least.
The last time they saw Deacon or spoke to him personally was in 1997. Deacon cant handle the stress of being in public, so he has been a reclusive in his home for decades. They only comunicate via email.
Well, yes, we know about this as part of us knowing Queen's story. I suppose though that there could be times where they might email him and ask him and not talk about it to the fans. Maybe not. I do just wish they'd get together privately with none of us being told and just share some time together. Freddie, could you make that happen? ;)
The Queen 👑 shot the sequence with Paddington Bear 🐻 back in March. It had been in the works quite some time. When featurimg Queen I Iwish they would say Queen, with Adam Lambert rather than the assumption Queen is now Brian, Roger and Adam. It seems presumptuous to me. With that said, It wouldn't be a party/Jubilee without Queen. I, too was waiting for the red spevial🎸 guitar sequence, it was greatly missed. I love the music of, Queen, but am not a big fan of Adam Lambert, he goes at it so hard, that he misses nuances of the songs. Adam seems to try too hard to compete with Freddie and no one will EVER, be able to do that. Adam needs to make it his own and maybe show a bit more reverence. The crowd seemed to have a great time! 🎶 Hap, I can see the wheels turning in your head. I respect your reactions so much, as they are so honest and spot on, love your POV!!! Peace J ✌ ☮💕
Adam has said numerous times he is not trying to imitate or replace Freddie. He is just honoring Freddie by singing the songs with Queen. Oh by the way, they are Queen+Adam Lambert not just Queen. Just saying.
Adam has been touring with Queen since 2014. He loves/honors Freddie just as much as all Queen fans. Please check out His performance of Who Wants to live Forever at the Isle of Wight Festival 2016. ua-cam.com/video/eHPv80jNoQU/v-deo.html
Touring since 2012
I have been a Glambert since Adam auditioned for American Idol in 2009. Of course I have heard Queen’s original music with Freddie on vocals but I have attended 5 QAL concerts and have watched thousands of QAL performances on UA-cam. I prefer Adam’s voice to Freddie’s. He can hit all the notes live that Freddie struggled with. You would be hard pressed to find bum notes coming out of Adam’s golden vocal chords. Adam has reinvigorated Brian and Roger’s passion in performing these iconic rock songs and they are introducing Queen’s music to many younger generations that were not familiar with them. Keep rocking, Queen + Adam Lambert!
Prince Charles and Princess Diana were at the Live aid concert in 1985.
I am so glad that you said that you heard Freddie’s voice as I did too and wondered if it was wishful thinking!
I heard it, too! Maybe it was everybody’s wishful thinking!

Brian May is magnificent ❤️ Roger I love you so much!🥁 Rest In Paradise beautiful Freddie! ❤️❤️❤️He would have loved this!!
I completely agree with you on Brian should be much louder!❤️
I watched them live on the 30 May I recommend you go see them live if they tour again, tickets might seem a bit steep, but it’s well worth your money, you’ll not regret it and know where your moneys gone.
You're right. It sounded to me also like the mix was off. I'm not sure if it was the mix at the venue, the mix to the recording or the mix on this particular video (I've noticed that with other live videos, where the mix on various videos differs even though the video is actually the same one). if it was the mix at the venue, there could have been multiple reasons. Since the stage was being used for multiple artists, it could be they weren't able to use their own sound engineer & the sound engineer working the show was unfamiliar with their music or just screwed up. It also could be the sound changed drastically from sound check when you got the tens of thousands of people gathered & the sound engineer wasn't able to compensate (I've worked shows where when the crowd shows up the entire sound in the venue changes & then the sound engineer spends the first 2 or 3 songs adjusting for the change).
There are multiple reasons and points for it to go wrong. I'm just very pleased they got to participate and were able to share their energy & joy with all those people & the world.
Would the crowd affect it as well. I read Adam said they were so loud he couldn't understand the words they were singing.
@@valogden It absolutely could, but crowd noise would probably affect their timing with each other & pitches of the notes they were singing as opposed to the loudness of each instrument & the mix of those instruments together. Where the crowd noise could affect the mix is that the sound engineer couldn't hear well enough to compensate for any discrepancies from sound check and the set was so short there really wasn't a lot of time to make noticeable improvements.
That makes sense with Adam because I noticed he was pitchy at times where he never when I have seen him. My sons were all in bands and you could tell when they had a good sound person or not.
Брайян Мэй, браво! Экстрим. Настоящему таланту возраст не помеха! Грандиозно. Но песни должны звучать быстрее. Нет темперамента и скорости, хотя действо впечатляет.
Check out Diana Ross at the end, she was epic!
But there are some exiting news revealed in the press on Monday🥰.
„Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor have revealed that a 'lost' song, featuring the band's late singer Freddie Mercury, will be released in September.“
Maybe they’ve heard your request not to hide anything that has to do with Freddie? 🥰🙋🏻♀️
This should make me happy but it doesn't all i can see is Freddie singing this.
How like a ghost?
I have finally accepted Adam as the vocalist for this rendition of post Freddie Queen , Brian and Roger sound great and the rest of the band also sounds great , Spike has been playing with Brian and Roger longer than than Freddie , Spike was the keyboard player for the final tours with Freddie 😉
All of it should have been louder
Hap, you should review 'who wants to live forever' and 'The show must go on' live performances. Adam is rather good.
Freddie died a year before my son was born, but thanks to Adam keeping their music alive with Brian and Roger I can go to London next week and watch them with him, mum and son, I can show him why I love them so much and have done most of my life.
Judith, their music is in every commercial, every movie and at every game. QProds keeps the music alive, not Adam.
I've seen a lot of Queen and Adam Lambert performances and I don't know why I was left feeling disappointed, might just be me though.
Yes just you, because 6 million people has attended their 256 sold out concerts in 42 countries.
Adam Lambert is a fantastic vocalist, so there is no disrespect. You just can't replace Freddie imo. I imagine if Freddie was there, it would have been louder. John Deacon made it clear he was done. He loved Freddie, and Queen was not Queen without him (small snippet I saw him saying) he also said it was time to devote to his family.
Caught a tear hearing Freddie himself at around 3:20
Great performance and fun to watch the Queen herself get involved with percussion.
Amazing opening to the celebrations - can't think of anyone better! Seeing them tomorrow at Birmingham after a 2 year delay, and I REALLY can't wait.
I thought the sound was better here than when I saw it the first time. I like Adam - he seems a really, personable guy but I'm not a huge fan of his voice or his interpretation, particularly when he channels musical theatre. I didn't like the dramatic tremolo and hand waving in DSMN and there were moments in WWRY when he reminded me of Jessie J singing the same song at the London Olympics. It all felt a bit OTT (more Broadway than Rock Concert). And yes - the situation demanded it but I've seen other videos and felt the same. The exception was WWTLF after Orlando, which I thought was sublime. My ideal would be Adam singing ballads and Paul Rodgers doing the rocking. As for Fred being there. IDK - Rod Stewart and Elton were pretty shite at this event but Leonard Cohen improved with age.
i recommend you check out, marc martel! he is freddie reborn. I mean adam can sing but hes more of an actor! but i love watching you.my family are british! so PLEASE watch marc martel ok.
Martel is a huge Adam fan, he declared Adam the best singer on the planet.
@@erikagolcher1353
No he is not. Martel is so busy touring the world with his Queen tribute band he doesn’t have a minute to think about Adam. LOL
@@papabearM3 This video is about QAL nothing to do with MM so what's your excuse for being on here?
Brian May was very loud, it was the sound interruptions on the video. All the other acts were amazing as well.
The Red Special can never be too loud IMO !
Sound technicians were shit all night, sounded like Diana Ross had her microphone turned down, had to turn the TV up to hear her 🎤
I’m sure it was Freddie’s voice yelling “Sing it!”. Without Freddie to challenge the Red Special it doesn’t have the same sound as it used to!
Freddie iconic Freddie is dead
Se não comentasse não se perdia nada.....já percebi não gosta do Adam mas também não precisa gostar ele tem os seus fãs em quantidade para o apoiar. Quanto ao John não toca porque não quer, prefere ganhar uns valentes trocos e não fazer nenhum. O Freddie com a idade que teria se fosse vivo não sei se ainda teria a mesma voz.....se ele ressuscitar veremos, deixem-se de fanatismos e ouçam ao vivo as lindas músicas que ele compôs
Question. For all the Adam Lambert haters out there, why are you here watching him perform? You know he is the frontman for over 10 years now so why not skip his performances? Could it be secretly you like him? It's simple, don't like him, don't watch
Brian always turns his amps up to full volume so it may just be that there is a sound limit at the palace or the recording is set to filter out the crowd noise so it didn't interfere with the music. I am sure that Queen will remaster and spruce up the recording in their own studios soon and we will have a video with great sound. The crowd was really engaged, moving and singing to every note so that is a joy to behold and well worth Queen stepping off of their tour for a day to do this little mini show. Also, depending upon the security factors, that might not be Brian's original Red Special but one of the ones he manufactures for sale. Even on stage, he has at least one other Red Special in case he breaks a string or something. The manufactured ones sound great but they are not exactly the same for many reasons. From what I have heard, the switches are in a different series because apparently Brian's guitar has a tiny bit of a buzz that he has always had to deal with that he designed out of the manufactured guitars for sale.
Thank you for sharing i watch it one tv here in Norway 🇸🇯 I like Adams voice but think meany thinkin of Freddie he is not there to replease Freddie but to sing. Adam do a good jobb my greatings from norway 🇸🇯yeah it shood be louder i agree with you
Adam wasn’t feeling good that day
I think Queen were magnificent (as always) as evidenced by the ecstatic audience singing along jubilantly. But the sound quality of the video was poor. Even with Adam Lambert's fantastic singing, his voice sounded far away, as did everyone in the band. I'd love to hear a much better recording of this event. But thanks for a great reaction and thanks for doing more Queen reactions lately. I hope you'll continue reacting to Brian's and Roger's reactions to their Montreal 81 concert - it was recorded so beautifully and Queen was on fire all the way through the concert. 🤩
Then you must see the short video of Brian on the roof of the palace in 2002 ua-cam.com/video/1KNWdhVJq9k/v-deo.html and imagine how this must has sound if you were there. I don't think you've seen or reacted to it yet.
Good show but made me sad missing Freddie an John!!! But Adam does have some pipes an he loves Freddie an is showing him respect by singing his songs !
No Freddie was there in spirit I'm sure - but not vocally - That's all Adam & Queen!
This was the BBC techs and they screw it up big time. Roger was furious for the bad sound. Not Queen or Adam fault. And I dont agree with you I think is Freddie was alive he would be an old man who problaby lost his voice due to the chain smoking.
Your comment on the maturity of their voices... You do realize that Adam is almost 40, right?
it was a kind way of not saying "OLD"
Lol
@@HAP3SPEAKZ But he isn't in the grand scope of things.
Adam is as good as Freddie was.
It seemed like there was some audio cutting out for the guitar solo but maybe he was playing different? I haven't watched any full performances of Adam with Queen just because I don't feel "ready". It was ok this time though because I had help lol Maybe he just plays it differently than he used to but it did seem quiet or interrupted in a way.
Edited to add: I think for some songs Adam should go back to his "Mad World" voice instead of the ... I don't want to call it screamo because it definitely isnt it's just sometimes not the right time for that "sound" When he did it during "Mad World" it was very well placed. I need more time and to watch other performances I think. 🤔
