Your right when you say Freddie looks so comfortable on stage. It is the one place where he felt he was exactly where he was meant to be. He loved performing, and he adored his fans.
If Freddie had remained silent longer. The audience would have sung the entire song TO HIM ! This power and connection with an audience is on an entirely different level.
My son and I used to listen to this version of this song, after I got him out of the tub every night. He passed away in December of '21 after an ultra rare neurological disorder. The lyrics hit me in the heart before my son, Levi left, but I have fond memories of my little 6 year old boy, on my lap, in his towel, and taking a bow, like Freddie does at the end. I hope you enjoyed it ♥️
Not many on earth have been loved enough to enjoy 80000 people singing their own song back to them perfectly. Simply the best lead vocalist. He will never be bettered.
In the studio version, because Freddie asked him to, Brian May taught himself to play an actual Harp just enough for some of this song's melody. It's very lovely. Reminds me of when once Brian teased John that he wanted a double bass for another one of his own songs, so John goes home & learns to play the danged thing. Those guys, I tell you!
it was the same on deac's song 'best friend, he could'nt play the fender rose keyboard but they bought one and john took it home to work on his song, perfected it then came back and recorded it! watch the 'live at the bowl' dvd, during staying power john is'nt playing bass, he's on rythm guitar
Freddie always loved his fans. In this recording he says to everyone, "I still love you". Forward to March 1991 and Freddie's last video recording ever before he died that same year in November. The song, "These are the days of our lives". His last words as he looks straight at the camera, "I still love you". That was how he farewelled all his fans.Rest in eternal love Freddie ❤️
it was recorded on may 30th 1991 at studio's in london, freddie, john and roger were present that day but brian was out of the country on promotional duties and filmed his sequencies later then they were added digitally at a later date 👑✊🇬🇧
Freddie wrote that song for Mary, his first love that he was engaged to. Eventually he came out, but they remained friends and she really was the love of his life. He left the bulk of his entire estate to her.
@@Bibiana862he doesn’t have to. He’s bisexual, but that doesn’t mean he feels the same way about both genders. My attraction and feelings toward women are much more intense than mine towards men, but I’m still bisexual.
This song (written by Freddie for Mary Austin) was frequently used as an audience participation song, here he only had about a 72,000 strong choir, at the "Rock in Rio 1985" concert he had at least a quarter of a million, most with English as at best a second language, they still did a good job. Let us not forget Brian had to sit on a stool playing a 12 string acoustic guitar, with no accompaniment (major confidence required).
according to Brian May Freddie Mercury had much improved his voice & singing skills after he sang in the studio for the first time as we know Freddie was a perfectionist in what he did
New to UA-cam. I'm an "older" lady, and I have loved Queen (and of course, specifically FM) since they came on the scene, and now all these years later I get to see younger people react to their greatness. You two are so full of joy and happiness. I just love watching you two. Please react to more Live Queen performances, and Freddie Mercury performances. Check out Barcelona, How can I go On, and the Golden Boy Live at La Nit. Fantastic performances by FM and Montserrat Caballe.
Queen is the only group in which each member composed more that one number 1 hit. Freddie Mercury - Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are The Champions John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free, You're My Best Friend. Roger Taylor - Radio Ga Ga, A Kind Of Magic, These Are The Days Of Our Lives. Brian May - Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, and Who Wants To Live Forever Each of them was wonderfully talented and creative artist. No autotune needed, just pure talent and hard work.
He actually was asked something in an interview along the lines of how is it being the leader of the band? Freddie said I'm not the leader I'm the lead singer I'm not a general we are all four equal people.
Deacon also wrote Your my Best Friend. Freddie also wrote ten total hits. Their song Friends will be Friends was played at Freddie’s funeral after they played Aretha Franklin hymn and his opera diva friend Monserrat Caballe he did an album with sang his favorite Verdi classical opera song. Legend.
You 2 really have become my favorites. How is it possible that you have not reacted to Queen at Live Aid? The greatest 20 minutes in Rock and Roll history
These lyrics although written for Mary at the time, all these years later can apply to Freddie also. Bring it back, bring it back don't take it away from me, because you don't know what it means to me !!! ♥️♥️♥️
The way Freddie sang to every corner of the audience is why this gig was iconic, he went to the very edge of both sides of the stage & sang to those people too, he involved everyone.. Thats an artist.. He is the benchmark on how to be a frontman.. RIP Freddie..
When Queen plays live now, Brian sings this song and plays acoustic guitar. But for the last verse they play this video on the big screen with Freddie singing, and the crowd loses it. There are even some tears. I was a teenager when this song came out, and the lyrics pierced my heart.
I am 63 years old and first saw queen on television in 1974 as a very young 15 year old. I have loved them since that day. All very accomplished musicians with, in my humble opinion, the greatest front man ever to take the stage. After their performance at Live Aid Brian and Freddie came back on stage and performed "Is this the world we created". Given your reactions to queen I think you would love it. Thank you for your brilliant reactions. Take care. Best wishes from the UK.
Freddie did have some weak notes at times as he had trouble with nodules Roger Queen’s drummer was always there to back him up with the singing the whole band were so tight they all could play off each other go off in all sorts of directions absolutely amazing band ❤️ One Vision, Kind of Magic, Now I’m Here, Who Wants to Live Forever just a few suggestions from this concert pick any song & you won’t be disappointed x
I had the good fortune to see Queen and Freddie live two times in the 80's (1984 and 1986, the same year and tour as this video). The best showman on stage ever.
Did you know that Brian May, who is the guitarist here (and the composer of many of Queen’s big hits) is now Dr Brian May, Astrophysicist and at some time head of university in Britain (Liverpool if I recall correctly). He is highly regarded.
I was there, right underneath the spotlight you can see in shots from behind Freddie, what a night. The best gig I've ever been to, Freddie was the GOAT, he was put on this planet to do exactly what he did.
Freddie had ZERO formal voice training; he was in school choir while in boarding school, but that's it... Otherwise, completely self-taught. SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER "STRIPPED-DOWN" ACOUSTIC BALLADS: "YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY" LIVE AT HYDE PARK, 1976 "IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED?" ENCORE, AT LIVE AID'S EVENING CLOSING
Freddie did not really have professional voice training - he had childhood piano lessons, and he did sing in chorus at the boarding school back in India, but again only as a kid. A few different bands he was in before and immediately after he first met Roger and Brian - none of which had real success, just an occasional gig. Things only started to click when he joined Roger and Brian’s band Smile, after their original singer/bassist Tim Staffell left (Tim was a friend of Freddie’s from Ealing Art College) - and they changed the name to Queen in 1970. - bassist John Deacon joined in 71 after several other bassists didn’t work out. For the most part, Freddie’s voice was sheer talent as well as a lot of hard work to gain more control over his natural rapid vibrato.
Yeah, one 12 string acoustic guitar, one powerful pure voice, and some-hundred thousands of souls hypnotized! You're right, this is what Freddie was born to do. God give us another one like him, we need it bad. 😇
I never thought I would see another Icon in my era such as Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, but to draw & engage an Audience like Freddie did puts him in this category.
Freddie Mercury was awesome! Watch the whole concert,he was amazing! I cried when he died. He was truly one of the greats! We still love you Freddie and I hope you are singing your heart out still. Much love and prayers to everyone reading this from London U.K. xx.
I saw Queen live a few years back, Brian May performs this song and had Freddie on the big screen next to him. It was very beautiful and emotional. I bawled my eyes out. So touching.
Time flies.....I was at that concert. A staff member pulled us up over a wall at the stadium. When he grabbed each of our arms we had to give him 3 Pounds (like 5 Bucks) and then he pulled us up. The last of my mates who had lifted us up to the staffers reach had to go back a ways and run at the wall and the staffer pulled him up by his hair. Haha What gig. Prime Freddie.
He was a superstar I was a teenager when this was released he was un believable and he was not bashful he would get up there and just sing his heart out
By far the greatest performance of anyone at Live Aid Wembley the whole set, to think they weren't originally invited to perform and Queen wasnt even together before hand, amazing group and talent.and driving force of Freddie not only to bring the band back together as he knew this concert was there legacy or legacies not to be missed, they knocked it out of the ball park. This song was for Mary... But Freddie had the gift as if he was singing performing for everyone, UK crowds can't be beaten either when to comes to crowd singing it's special thang and that was a special era!
This song is so beautiful - and Queen are an amazing band with very diverse members .... all of them had glittering careers awaiting them before devoting themselves to music: Freddy was a graphic artist, John Deacon is an expert in Electronics, Roger Taylor has a Science Degree & Brian May is an Astrophysicist ..... collectively they are just wonderful :)
Freddie was also an opera singer, just a true icon and I love the way he interacted with his audience and in the largest venues they sang right along with him RIP the king of Queen 👑
I love this song! Queen as you know @Asia and BJ is my favorite band ever! Great reaction yall! He wrote this about his ex- fiancee and friend Mary Austin. RIP Freddie Mercury 5:46 if you didn't know his name that Is Brian May . One of the greatest guitarist produced in the 20th century in my opinion
He had no training...he wrote this song for the audience not for Mary Austen......he truly loved his fans.the band loved their fans...you can see that in their rock and roll medleys where they thank the fans....and wish them goodnight and sweet dreams ...check the facts about that...don’t go by hearsay....he turned his arse to the audience, this was a reminder to their manager from the early days...Norman Sheffield who swindled them...you’ve got to love Freddie❤️🤩
Freddy was quite shy in everyday life, just on stage his true inner self seem to come out so free, what a voice… another one of the greats gone way too soon
You have only skimmed the surface of Queen! The best Rock n Rollband ever!! "Somebody to Love" live from Montreal 1981 Their BEST performace of this song!! Live Aid performace they knocked every band out of the park!! They killed it!! RIP Freddy Mercury! There will be no other!!
Freddie stated that he wrote this for the audience...you see how he tells them “I still love you”...people like to construct fables around Freddie..wherever he is, I’m sure he’s having a good giggle at all the notions people have😂
Great reaction! Freddie did not have any vocal training outside of a school choir class. He is self made. He has a very strong voice in his natural range but if you watch him closely during performances or any behind the scenes recording videos, he knows exactly how to position his mouth/neck and his distance from the microphone to get the pitch/volume that he wants. And, he can change the timbre of his voice to suit the song style and emotion which, in addition to his range and stage presence, is what I think really sets him apart from other singers. Try some early Queen like Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.
Freddie was the ultimate showman. Hold thousands in the palm of his hand so naturally. Like a duck in water. You should listen to the studio version. Queen, "All Dead, All Dead." ✌️
Freddie loved his audience and they loved him.
Your right when you say Freddie looks so comfortable on stage. It is the one place where he felt he was exactly where he was meant to be. He loved performing, and he adored his fans.
If Freddie had remained silent longer. The audience would have sung the entire song TO HIM ! This power and connection with an audience is on an entirely different level.

Freddie wrote that song for Mary, his first love that he was engaged to. Eventually he came out, but they remained friends and she really was the love of his life. He left the bulk of his entire estate to her.
That's because he was bisexual. He loved both sexes and yeah Mary was always his heart as well as Jim Hutton

OOOOOO that 12 string guitar sounds soooo crisp i love it
Freddie never had his teeth fixed as he believed it might change his voice. What a legend!!! Never be another!
One of my favourite Queen songs ever!

Take a look at "Is this the world we created" on live aid. Its very short and can bring a tear to the eye.
Simply gorgeous performance. Freddie once referred to this song as "A limpid ballad." Thank you.
Freddie said “I don’t want to be a rockstar, I want to be a legend!” He achieved that for sure!! ❤

You cannot teach what Freddie had!

freddy is my elixir of life and will remain so until the end of my life
Baddest front man of all time! (Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good) Lol
It always gets me when the crowd sings to the performer.😂

Freddie was the ultimate showman. Hold thousands in the palm of his hand so naturally. Like a duck in water.
You should listen to the studio version.
Queen, "All Dead, All Dead." ✌️
I would love to see y'all react to "One Vision" from this same concert ... it was their opening song and it's fire.
Brian May the guitarist built his OWN electric guitar AND HE HAS A PHD in phisiscs AND HE is A GREAT guitarist 🎸
he said he won’t be a rock star he’ll be a legend and he was 100% right
Thankyou darlings, Queen again 👑 🔥
