Just came across this video and didn't know how I missed it before. Yes, Queen.
Best live set ever.
Best 20 minute live set ever.
Best crowd interaction ever.
Best.
Ever.
People who had been watching Queen's live shows for over a decade saw their show develop. I would argue that nobody who was an experienced Queen watcher, was even remotely surprised when they blew the opposition off the stage at Live Aid. Frankly, I expected nothing else and would have been stunned had they not done so.
The staggering power of Freddie's ability with a crowd was evident at Hyde Park some 9 years earlier, when the police, pointlessly, were demanding that everyone sit down. Eventually, Freddie says, "Ok darlings. The police want everyone to sit down......so sit!" and 100,000 people immediately sat down. That was recorded so there may be video of it. We were quite literally under his spell. I have no idea how he did it....he just did.
I was lucky enough to watch Freddie playing 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' and all sorts of stuff at one time or another, on the piano.
Go watch the Live in Montreal and the Milton Keynes Bowl gigs from a few years earlier and you can see how good the were. Listen to Live Killers which I believe was recorded and distributed untouched by the studios. It is dynamite playing by four guys who were at the very top of the game.
I have seen hundreds of bands over the years from The police to Bruce Springsteen and I can say in all honesty....as musician myself....I have never seen any unit that can equal them.....good as many of them are. The could play pop, ballads, thrash metal and hard rock and do it better than anyone else
Amen! They were a real rarity.
Tony, I agree. I saw them live twice, and, aside from everything else, what stood out was that just four men were able to have such a huge, full, sound. The first time I saw them, Freddie's voice was a little shot, and Roger just seamlessly moved in for the high notes. I am certain they had a signal, but we certainly couldn't see it. Freddie was still playing piano quite a bit the first time I saw them, also. It seems like, maybe, they dropped some of the piano heavy songs from their set list the last time I saw them, but Freddie was in far better voice then, and had much more confidence. Another thing I noticed was that, even when his voice was shot, Freddie was never off key. Hoarse, sometimes, dropping high notes, sometimes, but never flat, except for, ironically...Live Aid. As someone who grew up in the seventies, when there weren't even ear pieces...I've heard some amazing singers going flat live, and have, many times, been disappointed in bands, in general, live. You hear the records...you love the band, you see them live...and they sound nothing like the record you heard on the radio. Not so with Queen.
Being my all time favorite band, I saw them, twice with Freddie and once with Paul Rodgers. Always looked forward to their performances and was never disappointed.
After approximately 200 concerts under my belt, it didn't get much better Queen.
Also love your channel Fil.
The dynamics between band members is unlike I’ve seen before -Freddie just puts me in a hypnotic state when he sings
Every band should aspire to a higher standard and that higher standard is Queen.
Amen!
Absolutely. And they were starting out in the wake of Hendrix, The Who and Zeppelin. Sadly that chain of inspiration and live bands was broken a long time ago.. Fortunately we do have the footage to see how it should be done!
According to Peter Freestone's biography of Freddie Mercury, who was his PA and friend, said Queen rehearsed for a solid week for this 20 minute performance. They were perfectionists to the very end.
Yeah it shows, even in rehearsals they were on it!
Freddie Mercury was the greatest frontman ......Ever ....hands down
Amen!
I have to agree. No one can touch Freddie.
Yep..........
IS the greatest. He's been dead nearly three decades and still nobody has come even close. When you consider the band essentially died when Freddie died. Bands typically don't cease to be just because they lose a vocalist. Freddie was so special however and the four guys were so amazing together that it just can't be Queen with him gone. Adam Lambert is an insanely good vocalist but lets face it. It's nothing more than the greatest tribute to a band that died with Freddie.
Very well said.
Love how the eyes of the commentator light up when Brian May plays the solo
Haha thanks! It's impossible not too!
Gave this a 'like' when I watched it years ago. Today, "Thank You" now for realising how neat it would be for us to look in on and study each/all of them in preparation. Rehearsal they nailed the process then during the performance all were significantly more animated.
The very most stunning thing about it is the way Brian May plays. All these picking notes here and there, in between during the verses mostly - sometimes contradicting the vocal melody together with this absolutely stunning and brilliant sound of his guitar, the VOXes and his effects. Genius!
Amen!
Listen to Brians playing in the chorus (from 2:54 your video time) in the background. So easy but so nice!
And that is why their performance is still vividly remembered today, they did all the work they normally would have done prior to a full show, they knew they had a name to uphold, and boy did they do that.
👍
Queen was so good in live aid because aside from what you said : entertainment, technical abilities, songs, . THER ARE FOUR MEMBERS WHO WRITE THEIR MATERIALS, EACH A GENIUS IN THEIR OWN WAY.. Variety of styles in the songs..your analysis is perfect
I remember reading an interview with James Hetfield of Metallica (who played Stone Cold Crazy with the remaining members of Queen at the Freddie tribute concert) and he said that during the rehearsals for that, he kept demanding another run through because "it didn't quite feel right". In truth, he just wanted to keep jamming with Brian, Roger, John and Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath) who played rhythm guitar.
Haha yeah I'd be the same!
All the musicians that participated in the Tribute Concert that day had to meet a challenge straight on, knowing this was a big one for the rock world. The chance to do right by Freddie was a bigger grab than any one of them could have made alone. It took them all to higher ground. Gotta know Freddie must have loved it.
Queen rehearsed the hell out of their Live Aid set. They knew they only had about 20 minutes and didn't want to waste it. They carefully picked their set list, which someone once pointed out was basically the climax of their standard live set. But the key was that as big as they were and as experienced, they didn't take it for granted that they'd go over well. That's a real professional state of mind. They wanted to live up to the event, so worked hard preparing well in advance. And it paid off, big time.
Yeah putting the effort in pays off!
That is the open secret why Queen played all the other bands and musicians on the wall during her Live Aid gig that day! They prepared and rehearsed better than anyone else for their 25 minute performance!
Queen were huge, but they gave back to the people. According to Molly Meldrum's autobiography, INXS played the prima donna and almost refused to perform at Live Aid. Now, their performance is just a footnote. Queen is the example for how bands should perform offstage as well as onstage.
I saw Tim Farris of INXS say in an interview that Queen showed them how to treat support bands - with respect .
The voice is just so pristine.
I remember back in the day, we used to get to shows HOURS early and stand out in the freezing cold if we had to. Many times, they'd let us in early because we were freezing to death and I can't even tell you how many sound checks we heard that way. Since there was no one there, we could run right up front in these huge stadiums to get our "spot." It didn't hurt that we were cute little 15-year-olds. lol The guys in the band would talk and joke with us--to the 25 of us or so who were there. It was heaven!
I don't want to bother you with so many comments, but I want to point out to you the comment I made to a very good answer you gave someone. You showed grace and class.
First concert I ever went to! I was all of 14 and they were not really known! Was a damn good concert! Paramount theater in Seattle, quite small compared to most places! Became a Queen fan back then and still am!
The more rehearsals, the more the perfect show on the day, that’s what queen believed
Yess... That's what I read too... they were perfectionist! and it always showed in their excellent shows!
Their roadie, Peter Hince aka “Ratty” went out and purchased large clocks that they could watch during the Live Aid practice. This allowed the band to plan their set to the last minute.
Imagine watching this. "Oh that was good!" Then watching them take the stage and absolutely rock the world. Do you think any of them had an idea they were watching the storyboard for the greatest live performance of all time?
Hi Fil. Crazy how Freddie is singing BoRhap full out in their rehearsal !! They truly are the GOAT and my favorite band of all time! Still miss Freddie🌹 You made this video years ago and I bet people still watch it ( like me 😂) Thanks ✌🏼 Rock !!
I can never get enough Queen. What can I say? They amazing! I was so sad when Freddie passed away. He was the greatest front man!
Amen.
One thing that struck me is that the more laid back they seem, the more it feels so in-the-pocket. Total authentic.
Isn't it awesome when your drummer can do such great vocal harmonies as well?!
I know! I'm always listening out to those bo rhap backing vocals... 'for meeeee... for meeeee... for MEEEEEEEEE!!!' That last part is insane!
Roger wrote this song (and many others).
Gnostic Mom whaaatt??? Are you joking??? Freddie wrote the entire Bohemian Rhapsody!!!!
I was referring to Radio Gaga. Which is the first song in this clip. Yeah, Roger did some crazy back-up vocals, including the "MEEEEE!" in Bohemian Rhapsody. Which was written by Freddie. In case you didn't know.... ;)
Gnostic Mom oh sorry!!
Millions have probably said this but I'll say it anyway. Whenever Live Aid is mentioned, Queen's performance is the one that I picture. Wonderful commentary Fil. Thank you!
Hey Wingsof ! I'm sitting here looking at my ticket stub...QUEEN...Wed. Feb. 5, 1975...The Agora 1722 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio...$3.50 ticket 507/1000! Freddie said it was the first public performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! The show was mostly tunes from the first 2 albums with Shear Heart Attack thrown in. There was an encore...the band came out in black bath robes...and did "Hey, Big Spender" and "Jail House Rock"! The sound was amazing ! PEACE !
Haha cool!
I’ve read that Freddie smiles at the beginning of that rehearsal because Brian May came in late (to Radio Ga Ga).
Didn't know about this video, thanks for sharing. I watched your video of the actual performance as well. Your points are the key to their greatness. They all play and sing well, they can cover up mistakes and Freddie is just awesome overall. So sad he got sick so young.
Yeah he went way too soon.
What a freakin voice.
Amen!
What is great about Freddie's performance here is that all his flamboyance is still there. Even when no-one is watching, he can't seem to help himself express physically through his mannerisms Queen's music. Subdued, certainly but everyone can still see it there... :o)
what helped make them so great is that they worked together, they were all highly professional
👍
When the first Queen album was released over here ( US), the band went on tour to support it. Along with my good friend Lee, I drove up to see them in Houston, Tx. When we arrived we noticed all these people milling around ( it was close to the concerts start) asking a security guard as to why he replied that the band's management had called from New York City and canceled the show due to " lack of interest".
LOL.
Watching your video reminded me again of what might have been, I know it would've been a hell of a show.
Peace, from Texas.
Haha wow!
Im amazed that you react to this! Thanks!!!! Freddie, we miss you.
Amen.
There's no words they were totally good and profesional
There will never be another lead singer like Freddie. He sounds like he took care of his voice - like an opera singer would. The chills I get when I hear Freddie on Bohemian takes me back to hearing it when it first broke out as a hit on the radio. I was just a kid, but I'd never heard anyone on the radio sing like that.
Yeah his vocals were awesome live AND in the studio! A real rarity.
E R He was actually having a lot of trouble with his voice during Live Aid - was advised not to go on actually by his doctor, but he did it anyway & who could tell? He developed noduals in his throat - from not doing everything technic-wise perfectly & from singing do much in a tenor range when his natural range was baritone. He never had any formal voice training where he would have had some training about how to minimize those effects I’ve read anyway. Freddie Mercury was an absolute phenomena the likes of which we may never see again!
Beverly Stephens Trouble with his voice? My god, you'd never know it! He was flawless. I have worked with singers (rock, theater, and opera) and it's a real challenge for them to stay healthy and avoid damage/nodules...the smart ones spend time doing vocal warm-ups, exercises, get vocal coaching (don't smoke) Not sure how Freddy did it for so long. Edit: Mercury had NO vocal training? He sings like an opera singer! Usually takes a long time to develop a voice that rich. Totally mind boggling he did it on his own.
@@ElliotRose God given talent!
That bold and daring voice, miss these guys! Sure miss the songs that Freddie never had the chance to write, same with every great artist!
RIP Freddie!
Amen to that.
The voice of God! and he wanted it back
@@jaymcd8577 Perhaps you are right!!...;.(
This is fascinating footage of a truly great live act crafting a set for an important gig. As we can see, Queen did not "busk it" on the day, but put in the hard work beforehand. It was good they did, because their legendary performance provided a fillip to their popularity, which was on the wane in the early eighties, especially after the Hot Space album. You are bang on about what an extraordinarily full sound the band could achieve live (although Spike Edney did provide auxiliary keyboards and the odd rhythm guitar during this period, and still does with the current touring incarnation of Queen). Your viewers should check out the live footage of the band in the 1970s to see what a glorious noise just four extremely talented blokes could achieve on stage.
Yeah they did get a little help for the big shows, but considering Freddie was very much a front man with occasional keys it's allowed!
Fair call! They needed an auxiliary keyboard player by the eighties, as they had started using synthesizers on their records. Who wants to see the greatest front man in rock sitting behind a keyboard for most of the show?
As long as I don't cry. 😐😑😐😎I love that dance.They wanted to make the people happy😊Singing his heart out during rehearsal .😞
You are my favorite new music commentator on UA-cam! So good to watch Queen with friends! :-)
Thanks!
Yes, definitely pays attention and offers thoughtful and knowledgeable commentary
Mine too!
The most flamboyant charismatic showman ever on stage, and the Greatest live singer ever, with an incredible 4-Octave vocal range, he could smash anything he sang ,from rock and roll, to soft rock, from pop to opera , no genre or style of singing was out of the reach of his incredible talents..........sadly missed
👍
Love this! Freddie just pulls me in instantly rehearsal or live. He's simply captivating.
👍
Queen were such a tight unit but John Deacon never gets any props, it's always Mercury, May & Taylor and the bassist. Such an underrated player its criminal.
And song writer too!
Fans know it. Also judging by his reaction to meeting people in London asking for his autograph, you can tell he is quite alright with being in the shadow.
JD was always the quiet unassuming one. The fans love him and he is respected within the industry. His contribution to Queen was equal to that of Freddie, Brian & Roger.
He also wrote some of the biggest hits, "You're My Best Friend", "Another One Bites The Dust", "Spread Your Wings" …..
Listen to his playing on millionaires waltz on A Day at the Races
One of the greatest rock bands ever, there is such a huge backstory to the making and evolution of this iconic band.It's been stated many times before but Freddie Mercury was the greatest frontman in Rock and Roll history♡
👍
Too late my time has come send Shivers up my spine body's aching all the time goodbye everybody . . . GREAT!
*Hello , Fil :) «Freddie Mercury 4 Ever The Best Around» ....And Those Are My Favs Queen Songs !!!!
° Thanks & ROCK !! X3 =D
And! Appreciate you very astute observations Fil! Rock!
That's the reason why their performance is always spectacular. Even in rehearsals they are so serious that you are awed on how much more they will do for the actual show.
👍
You can't fault their showmanship and quality.
Amen!
Brilliant...John Deacon plays some tasty bass fills in this one too..yes not often you hear silence at music being played at this level..lol
Great video, Queen have always been superlative live performers as far back as I can remember, check out live at The Rainbow in '74.
Thanks! That's true!
Even in they rehearsals they gave it all
I have seen the band at that time ! Wahooww ! When Freddie jump on the stage something magical appears ! he invested the place, catched the crowd and i have seen just himself , not the band, for more than one hour of pure magical entertainement and music ! this great artist miss cruelly to this world ! i appreciate greatly your videos ! thank you !
Thanks for watching!
Freddie could make a shitty band sound good, what made Queen so amazing is that the band was awesome as well!!!
That's true!
There’s a documentary where a few years ago, Brian and Roger go to an old studio where they had recorded, just decided to play kind of randomly, and they just jammed, a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody and whatever. Just screwing around, but it could have been from a concert 40 years ago as good as it sounded. Seriously good musicians.
I think the thing that made them magical was the combo of the three points you mention, technical skill, songs, and entertainment but wrapped up in bow of genuinely liking each other & enjoying playing together. I think that camaraderie is palpable and we the audience feel a part of that.
Yeah even watching the video you feel it too!
Pros - that's how they got were they are. They didn't need to toot their own horn at Wembly...I think Queen helped developed the handbook. Freddie center stage always seemed to emit a certain JOY that distinguished him from other lead vocalists...it cascaded over the audience t all the way to the back row. Other groups of the era had their own style as well -- but with the level of musicianship they had plus the smarts to gift wrap and deliver entertainment in a crisp show made fans remember.
My guess is that they were mainly getting the timing down to the second since they were only allotted a 20 minute set. Needless to say they nailed it.
You always find interesting videos. Hadn’t seen this before. Thanks again Fil.
Thanks!
The balance between Brian and Freddie -he needed volume and echo, but in the concert it was very good! Thanks for your videos, I’m enjoying them and learning a lot.
Nowadays bands cant play like this ... there are no anymore stage professionists as queen were ... all fits simply perfect
They were perfectly suited to one another.
wingsofpegasus yes that's true ... I saw just few bands fitting then perfectly ... Great videos btw . keep on posting them ... If you can do one even with van halen ;)
they probably could but they're surfing the Web or playing video games instead
Me gusta mucho tu banda y viva QUEEN! saludos grandes desde Uruguay!
Gracias!
Thank you. This was such an interesting watch!! Love your channel.
Thanks!
I saw them in Melbourne months before this. I knew they'd own the stadium as I'd experienced it so recently to then but it was wonderful to see when I watched it live.
Aha! I see you watched the link I posted :p
This video would make anyone pleased it was their "live set" not just a rehersal. However, knowing that the rehersal was THAT good, and thy still managed to turn the levels up to "Holy shit!" on the day..... yeah right time, right place, planets aligned etc....
Of course we have the benefit of hindsight - I did not think I'd be the only one who watches this, and sees the "on the day" footage ;)
Let's not forget who they were 'up against' :
The Who
U2
Dire Straits
Style Council
Quo
Paul McCartney
and so on......
As Elton John said to them as they came off "Bastards, You've stolen it!"
They also got asked to go back on later - Brian and Freddie did "Is this the world we created?...."
Not bad, for supposedly being "Past it" ahem!
Haha yeah if that's past it, I can't wait to be past it!
Awesome footage, not seen this before. I was living and working in London when Freddie sadly passed away. Remember it like yesterday. Very sad day.
Yeah thank God we have so many recordings of his brilliance! A true legend.
A nice little analysis of Queen. To really understand how good Queen was on that day, you really have to sit down and watch Live Aid from the start. Don't forget, there's some fantastic artists on that line-up, but Queen just blew them all out of the water. Queen took the day extremely seriously, after some controversy performing in South Africa, and a slight dip in popularity in the UK - even though they had performed to massive crowds at Rock in Rio.
That dedication really won through for them in the end. This, coupled with their ability to tick the three boxes you mentioned in your other video on the Live Aid performance, and their ability to transition between songs (Bohemian-Radio) without missing a beat, combined for a truly magical performance.
If you're interested in Queen rehearsals, here's one of them preparing for the iconic nights at Wembley: ua-cam.com/video/C336a2XS84k/v-deo.html
Thanks Richard! The link doesn't work unfortunately!
No worries - that's a shame, try it now!
Spoiler alert: They won.
:)
they owned Live Aid 1985. became Queen Day.
4:33 whew.... glad he got THAT note out of the way before the show. hahahha Rarely hear him miss a note that badly. Kind of weird watching this, tho. I mean... it's like being a peeping Tom. hehehe Yeah, they rocked that live aid show.
He was reportedly suffering from a cold/sore throat before the show. But yes, he nailed it on the performance, as the professional that he was.
So much talent - Three band members can sound like an orchestra. Hello Phil hope all is well!
All good thanks! Yeah such a great sound!
What can I say.? Perfect music! By perfect musicians. !
I have this on DVD. It's so subdued this rehearsal. If only they had known how it was gonna go down. Bless you Freddie.
It's very interesting to watch.
Great channel. Some really interesting anaylsis on tracks and you are a very talented musician after watching some of your videos. Can't believe you.ran through a city with your shirt off though for one of your videos, that took some balls! You seem very level headed, modest and genuine. Nice to see!
Thanks! Yeah that was a fun day out haha!
Queen, just so incredible!
Amen!
The unique thing better on the rehearsal is Freddie's haircut! Ahahah. Love to see this footage!
Haha I saw some very early footage the other day where he has long hair. It looked cool!
Subscribed a few days ago Fil. Really enjoying the videos mate.
Thanks!
Even at a rehearsal,Freddie looked like he just showered and had a haircut.
That interview before the show, man. I LOVED when they asked Brian if Queen felt odd about the sparsity of the stage at Live Aid, compared with their normal theatrics. Brian said “people don’t think a band like us can play without all that, but we’ll see, won’t we.” Yes! And they won the day, hands down! Have you reacted to the latest “Bohemian Rhapsody” trailer? More dialogue than the teaser. Please do! Thanks! 🤘🏼👑👨🏻🎸
Yes I have ☺
Wings of Pegasus Yeah? I don’t know how I missed it *starts searching* 😉
This is so cool. A musician, analyzing Freddie and Queen rehearsing! LOL. Rest In Peace, Farrokh Bulsara! (Freddie!) :.D
Thanks Josh!
Yay!Fellow Queen fan!!I LOVED QUEEN SINCE MY CRIB.
Amen!
Powerful.. Love your analysis..
Roger Taylor has an amazing voice.
Remember. They took this very seriously and even had a large clock there so they timed everything for 20 minutes and had it DOWN... also, apparently, Freddie's doctors told him not to sing because of severe vocal chord damage - he refused and did the show anyway. Powerhouse group.
Yeah that's true, worst advice ever!
No, the doctor gave a good advice.
It's up to Mercury what he did with it. At least he was warned to look out.
I meant from a professional musical standpoint. Of course the doctor was giving good advice!
Freddie was a person if someone advised him not to do something, he was going to do it. Couldn't tell Freddie what to do, he did what he wanted. He was even quoted,' I dont give a shit. I do what I want.'
Hu? How the hell do you explain vocal chord damage for a got who had nodules since 1981? What the hell are you talking about? Makes no sense. Vocal cords don't just get damaged from singing one gig.
To comment on what you said in one of your videos, yes I absolutely agree, Queen had all the three most important things that make a band the top band in the world. they had the songs, the entertainment and the technicality. Most important though was that Freddie had a way to connect and truly love his fans that no one ever had, at least not back 8n those years. That is what made Freddie Mercury one of the most beloved singer and frontman of all time and up to this date fun all over the world still love and remember Freddie Mercury, still buy his music and listen to his songs. Queen plus lambert has up to know been one of the bands from the past whose shows have been a sold out in America and in Europe. Why is that? Because some how even though Lambert is not Freddie, and I have seen Freddie back in the seventieth, we fans still can listen to the same songs, guitar and drums of our beloved band Queen, an exceptional band that I must admit, would not have become world famous, had Freddie not been around. I love them all nonetheless, but with a special place in my heart for Freddie Mercury.
Yeah he was a very big cherry on the top of an already awesome cake!
That is a perfect way to put it, indeed. You could have not thought of a better image.
Epic! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks man. Excellent!
No problem!
I could listen to hours of Freddie. As a matter of fact I often do. 😊
Amen!
Wow! That guitar is massive!
😂
Discovered this channel yesterday. Loving the analysis of some amazing footage and exceptional talent
Thanks Andi!
Thank you for the video. I love the behind the scenes and lead up stuff. Queen is my most favorite band of all time.
My heart broke the day Freddie died. I remember it like it was yesterday. Can you imagine what music we all missed out on?
Amen.
Another brilliant video Fil! And thanks for adding the link \m/
No problem! Thanks for the heads up!
That shirt made his arms look so toned & muscular here!
It is strange to hear Brian actually miss a note. But better here than at the real event. As far as I could tell Brain was perfect at Live Aid - the mark of a true professional under pressure (song reference intended).
Yeah even in rehearsals you can tell he is pretty much on the button ready for the show. He strikes me as the kind of guy who rehearsed and practised whenever he physically could!
awesome
👍
Great video but don't forget about Spike, who played keyboards and guitar as a side man. 😎
Yeah hidden in the wings! They got a little bit of help for the big shows, but as Freddie is a designated front man for the majority I think that's ok!
you cant have queen without their first hit "killer queen" - greatest solo ever
Another classic!
Fantastic!!! Thank you for this!! ♡♡
No problem!
I love Rog
Apparently Freddie always did that... every take he gave it his all.
So, Zeppelin, Queen, Stevie and B.B........ those guys were great for a reason. They had zero interest in playing the song as they did on record. They weren't afraid to go off " script". It's like they were always reaching for something live. The feedback from the crowd and EVERYTHING played into it. They weren't afraid to not be "perfect". Personally, I don't go to live shows to hear it sound like the CD. If I wanted that, I would just listen to the CD. Music lives and breathes. That's what makes it great. Music IS the universal language.
