      REQUEST:
      Someday, could you also please react to one more live performance of:
      “Somebody To Love”
      Live at MILTON KEYNES BOWL in 1982
      …The Milton Keynes rendition is actually the version that Queen included in their compilation of BEST live performances!

    Freedy always said that he is not Queen in interviews. He is the lead singer of the Queen band. That there are 4 guys equal. Queen is 4 guys who wrote nr 1 songs, they all sing, play multi instruments, and write songs. Queen is in 2 Hall of Fame as a writer and as a band.

      Yes good point. I hate when reactors ask a question and invite people to reply with the answer when they could easily Google the answer themselves. In fact it drives me mad when they do that. I’m getting agitated just thinking about it.

    Actually, it was totally, IN CONTROL! Those guys rehearsed to within an inch of their lives. They employed glances, hand gestures, nods, facial expressions to project what would happen next. They each knew every nuance, every subtle gesture. Every live performance you see is ALWAYS perfection. Queen was always in sync. And, that drummer, Roger Taylor, could vocally hit notes that Freddie called his dog whistle. Implying that some notes were so high they could only be heard by dogs. All while shredding his kit.

    Cant go wrong with Queen! The Live Aid Concert is a must watch with Queen. A lot of people say it’s the best 22 minutes of live music. Freddie Mercury had the audience in the palm of his hands. Amazing.

But every time I see Freddie I cry because I and others knew he was performing wih AIDS and it's many complications and there was and still is "No Cure." So, I am always Happy and sad at the same time. Great reaction!!!

    QUEEN! I was there...1981...believe me, the place was going crazy!! Never tire of re-living this fantastic concert! The entire band was on on point. The backup vocals by Roger - hitting those high notes - and Brian, too - are pure harmony! With rare exceptions, QUEEN is meant to be heard LIVE. The band always adds something different and very special to their concerts...their energy is amazing. Thanks for your great reaction! Hope you get a chance to see "Who Wants to Live Forever" LIVE in Budapest, 1986. I think you would enjoy it.

    The emotions that cross your face as you progress thru the song are priceless. Half way you picked up a bottle to take a drink and put it down again (I imagine you subconsciously realized it would distract you from what you were experiencing.) Those feelings are what we feel each time we listen too. This performance never gets old no matter how many times I listen/watch. Mind blowing performance by Queen. 🤯

    I was lucky enough to see them live in 76 for the Night at the Opera tour. We were in the orchestra pit close enough to touch them. Brian May spoke to us during the show and asked us what song we wanted to hear. I chose Keep Yourself Alive. Freddie gave me long stem rose during the encore and people were wildly trying to rip it out of my hands. He called me darling. My best friend dared me to touch his bare foot and of course I did. Roger Taylor gave her his drumsticks. One of the best concerts of my life besides of course Led Zeppelin. ✌️♥️🎶

    You may already know this, but just in case...
    Sir Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, songwriter, singer, astrophysicist and animal rights activist. He achieved worldwide fame as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the rock band Queen, which he co-founded with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor.
    The legendary guitarist recently put his doctorate in astrophysics to use to help NASA return its first-ever asteroid sample to Earth. The sample was taken from the asteroid Bennu. When he's not rocking out on stage as a founding member of Queen, Brian May enjoys a healthy scientific interest in outer space.

  • @MizCriz46
    @MizCriz46 Рік тому +1

    A couple little things about this performance: Something went wrong with Brian's guitar. When Freddie swivels on the piano bench toward Brian, you hear only 1 note. Then, just before the camera cuts away, you see Brian unplug. Roger starts drumming & Freddie starts toward the front of the stage but he's turned & watching Brian go backstage to the guitar technician. Freddie works the audience & Brian is back very quickly. You see Freddie turn to see him coming back. They're such pros, it's nearly seamless. 2nd thing is that Freddie is said to have been put off that the audience wasn't as responsive as Queen audiences usually were. He seemed to have to work a lot more than usual to get them into the chant. Apparently they had been told by security to stay seated during the concert so that's what all those polite Canadians were doing!
