    I love recording and performing, but to me this is what music is for, it brings people together like friends even if they’re never even met before! I always thought and say that EVERYBODY can sing well. See? This proves it, no matter if you think you can or not, if it feels good...you can sing!

      As a musician myself I have to agree with everything you said. When people are singing together, they're not fighting, they're not hating, they're just having a good time, singing some kick ass songs together. That for me is the true beauty of music, it brings people of all backgrounds together and creates something beautiful in the process.
      There's no sound more precious to me than a crowd singing. That's true humanity right there.

Cars just parking anywhere - It's been a nightmare and today has been hell! Car park full by 10am - Feels like the whole of London is here...they just leave crap everywhere then back up to the Smoke at about 5pm....huge line of traffic right now. It's been awful honestly and during strict lockdown they still came - no masks - for us it was blizzard as my daughter works at Kent Hospital looking after Covid patients and we also lost close relative by Covid ! - sorry folks - rant over😱

    Green Day use this song as an intro, right before they start the actual show.
    It's a genius move that warms up the crowd with a song just about everyone knows, loves and can sing along to - get them to pay attention and prepare them to sing along to Green Day's own songs. It grabs attention, sets the mood, gets the people used to sing together and participate, makes them focus on the stage, and builds anticipation for the show itself. All with just one song.
    Brings back memories from when I saw them back in 2013 at Rock am Ring in Germany. It was the third and last day, and at that point I had been standing among the front rows of the festival's Center Stage for close to 10 hours and was slowly getting tired. Then the intermission music dropped - and after a few moments of silence and confused chatter from the crowd, the first few notes of Bohemian Rhapsody played. The fatigue was gone instantly, and we were all singing along to this great song - and didn't stop singing along until Green Day were done with their set. Awesome experience.

    My grandson will see this. As well as learn every word, you can trust me on that. I am a '70's kid and grew up on this. Freddie Mercury would have loved this, he was looking down saying, "wonderful darlings"

    Was there for the concert and YES sang along with everyone else, was told that people blocks away could hear and They started singing along. Must be part of the British psych to do that.

    Had to come back to this after today’s upload of Elton, Axl & Queen. The vast majority of this crowd would not have been born until after Freddie was gone. Queen music will live forever ❤️

    The mark of a great band- thirty years after the death of the lead singer, they can still get a crowd (at another bands concert) singing along to one of their songs

    There is another video of this made from the crowd. It's fun to see the people up close singing. They had a sign up showing the words for the song.

    Saw comment earlier I do think we in UK are programmed to know all lyrics of Queen songs....it's weird we all know em, all ages, the are National.Treasures...I went to Live Aid to see David Bowie (💖) I had liked Queen but they'd faded a bit...then after they came on ...omg! I became a complete addict. I remember Live Aid well.... I wanted a pee at 1pm and still wanted one at 10pm....😂😂 friend said "just wet yourself!" ....nope impossible just couldn't ....finally asked a security guy who took pity on a sweet young thing and took me...I then was out back in a totally different ares, lost my friend and finally found her at 1am..we slept on Waterloo Station....happy days😁😁😁😁

      Youre so right Rockin All Over The World ....got us all in the mood - i was waiting for Bowie who was amazing ....the only person there who could have followed Queens performance without fear 😂😂 abd even he said afterwards following them was daunting...he was genius as usual ...never forgotten it - only person i couldnt stand was Geldof ...he stole the limelight from Midge Ure big time! ....since then he was - still is - when hes here - my neighbour for years ...🤬🤬

      Hes a total arse. Has no respect for neighbours, tight like you wouldnt believe .....which is hilarious when you think how he created this iconic role as a charitable God...he virtually fought me over a jumper for £8 in the local Charity Shop - grabbed it from my hand ....slightly amusing as im 5'1" and hes over 6'...he won ! He gave them a tenner and waited for the change!!!! I always wondered who was actually going to wear it ..😂😂😳

    I love Queen and Freddie Mercury. The base player John Deacon was my fav, it is said he could go on after Freddie died and withdrew from the band and the celeb life. If you ever get change check out the official Breakthru video where they are performing in the open on a fast moving steam locomotive. Although it was said they were shit scared they don't show it. Thanks to Jimmy for recommending this and your reaction was great.

    If you have ever seen or heard of the show Riverdance you should watch the night the original was first shown to the world in 1994 at the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, Ireland with Jean Buttler and Michael Flathly as the lead dancer. It will give you goose bumps.

    have you seen Queen's performance at the Live Aid concert, 1985? they weren't supposed to be there. it wasn't a Queen's concert and Freddie had a throat infection [i think] he'd been advised, by his doctor not to sing. his performance was epic and the crowd was awesome. their part of the concert was 27 minutes long, but, if you haven't seen it, you should, even if you don't react to it

    Did you catch they even sang the guitar riffs? Think of the age of this crowd - probably 95% hadn't even been born when they song was released. 😲

    Some people were put on this earth for 1 soul purpose ,Freddie was 1 of them born with a talent that can't be taught , legends never die, he definitely heard this I'm sure
