Keep in mind that there are around 250000 people here. They aren’t native English speakers, either and yet they belted this entire song out.
Check out Queen and Paul Rodgers Live in Kharkiv in front of 300,000+ singing along to Queen, Free and Bad Company songs.
Nós brasileiros temos muito amor no coração, especialmente com todos os nossos heróis das bandas: cantores, guitarristas, baixistas, bateristas e tecladistas. Quando vamos a um Show, nos sentimos pertencentes à uma comunhão de almas. Obrigado, por esse vídeo sobre o Queen aqui no Brasil. Um grande abraço. 🙏✨🫂 🇧🇷
The most incredible thing about this video is that most people don't realize how incredible it is that all the people in the stadium are singing in English. In Brazil, only 5% of people have some level of understanding of the English language, and only 1% are fluent, and Portuguese is spoken massively throughout the country. But even so, everyone sang the song in English correctly, making it clear how loved the band Queen has always been in Brazil.
"Brian! Brian!" So nice to see him getting some love too!
Freddy was a genius, but Brazilian crowds are something else
Queen was the first full band to tour South America.
This is why Queen made Live Aid look so easy 6 months later performing to this crowd in Rio of over 250,000 compared to the 72,000 at Wembley. Going to South America, especially Argentina & Brazil as a big name rock band you pull in six figure crowds easily. To think the people in this crowd speak Portuguese but sing in perfect English just shows how special Queen were to them.
Yes, have seen AC/DC from River Plate in Argentina and the crowd is unreal.
Sim amamos o Queen ❤❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
The thing is, Freddie and Brian were used to the audience joining in with the chorus part of this song (except when they performed it in Montreal, where either the audience didn't know it, or the bouncers had intimidated them into silence, leading Freddie to comment audibly to Brian in his disappointment), but here, they simply took off and started singing before Freddie managed to get out a single note. Brian said that they were both a little choked up, which was why Freddie went across to Brian so they could take a moment to gather their wits before continuing.
A crowd of between 300,000 and 500,000 people, of whom probably at least 80% spoke no English whatsoever, in the wee small hours of the morning, sang the entire song faultlessly, in tune, and in perfect harmony.
That's the power of Queen.
I love it when Brian plays the 12 string acoustic. It's such a different sound from the electric guitar, but he is just as skilled, and I love how the crowd really appreciated him!
Great comment. We can only imagine as an artist how that must feel to have your art so appreciated.
It is beautiful to hear the crowd singing to Brian and Freddie.
Watch the same song in Montreal 1981, when the crowd provides the ultimate backup to the most beautiful love song ever.
My parents were at this show, they still remember the good energy
That's awesome!
Super concert, from queen, in rio.....❤
Queen performed over 2 nights at Rock in Rio in 1985, and the concert was a massive production, with an estimated 300,000 people in attendance each night.
Yes, the crowd was chanting, "Brian, Brian...".
That wasn't just an acoustic guitar, it was a 12-string acoustic guitar.
BTW - It was Brian who said to the audience, "You did great!" and "You sing very nice".
Little Known Fact about Freddie: He battled hard to cope with vocal cord problems - and found that rehearsing without clothes helped.
Freddie confessed: “I have to go easy on the red wine because of my throat nodules. To warm up, I do what I call ‘mock operatics.’ I do it naked, though, because there’s a certain piquancy about that. With clothes on, it doesn’t work, so I sing in the complete raw. I went to throat specialists - I think I saw them all - but they always tell you to just rest and not do the tour… or have an operation. I came very near to having an operation but I didn’t like the look of the doctor and I was a bit perturbed about having strange instruments forced down my throat.”
That's quite an interesting comment. Thanks for taking time to share!
@@CoachCastTVI wouldn’t listen to anything the above commenter has to say, because they clearly can’t read properly. Half of that comment is bullshit and the rest about the docs and operations, that had nothing to do with his throat, Freddie was actually talking about his teeth in response to being asked why he never had them fixed
This huge crowd is not from an English speaking country but they sang beautifully to Freddie. So wonderful to see the fan love for this band. I love when they acknowledge Brian by chanting out his name. When I saw the song selection I knew this would be one for Mrs. Coach. Thank you.
❤🇧🇷
When asked what instrument he played Freddie said 'the audience darling '
They were chanting BRIAN MAY. This is in a country that didn't know English yet learned and sang all QUEEN songs in English ❤ AMAZING. FREDDIE said he was overwhelmed by the people singing to him cause in England he didn't get this robust of an audience. It is also said that if the Government of Rio knew Freddie had that much power over their people, they probably would have denied QUEENS request to play there.
If you haven't played it yet, please do WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER (OFFICIAL VIDEO). Mrs Coach will really love it. It's from the movie HIGHLANDER ❤
O Brasil ama o Queen ❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
At 3:58 Freddie says "obrigado", which means "thank you" in Portuguese. Freddie loved to interact with the fans and made sure to learn some words from the local language of the country.
In Budapest 1986 he sung a little song in Hungarian.
That's fantastic!
He sang i. Jspanese in tokio( teo toreate
@@andreklok6694Teo Torriatte
Yes, a 12 string acoustic guitar. Brian is an absolute master of the instrument.
Not just any acoustic guitar...an Ovation acoustic/electric 12-string guitar...made for stage playing.
This amazes me because they speak Portuguese ❤❤❤❤ the Brian chant gives me chills❤❤❤❤
It was a very cool moment.
❤❤me too
Search for Green Day Bohemian Rhapsody. You will be amazed. While they were setting the stage for Green Day, they had music coming over the sound system. Bohemian Rhapsody & see what the crowd did. This wasn’t even a a Queen concert.
Guys, its time to Queen - I Want It All (official video)
Beautiful reaction guys, thanks... The amazing part of this event was the crowd. The concert was several bands from around the world playing an entire weekend in this huge park cordoned off for the event. When they sold 200K+ tickets, the crowd pushed their way in and stormed the gates, so it was estimated that 300K-500K people attended, mind you these were Portugese speaking people in Brazil singing perfect English... AND it was 2AM when Queen was scheduled to play... needless to say it was a very eventful weekend for music history... thanks again... blessings.
Wow, that's a big crowd!
To Mrs. Coach, listen to the studio version and you will love the song even more! (Brian plays harp and Freddie sings lead and all the backing harmonies plus his beautiful piano.)
Please do this! Most people only know of this live
They had already grown a huge fan base in Argentina after they played there in 1981, negotiating with the Army General for their first stadium sized event. It had never been allowed before under that countries dictatorship because they were afraid of how they could control 50,000 young people without them rioting. The event was a real culture shock for the band but hugely successful. They opened the Rock in Rio festival in 1985 with estimates of up to 600,000 people (2 nights) in and outside the festival and broadcast to nearly 200 million people on a Brazilian national television network. What a thrilling career they had built for themselves. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for them to hear that massive crowd singing to them. 👑
Yes, it has to immensely gratifying as an artist to hear a crowd like that sing your song back to you. Amazing!
When Mrs. Coach said she could listen to Brian play forever, here is a 1 hour of Brian playing "Love of My Life" with some gentle rain in the background. On a loop, it is soothing sleep music for me. I never tire of it. *"Brian May playing 'Love of My Life' while it Storms"* is here in CZcams.
I read in a comment somewhere that there was a one hour version of Brian May playing Love of My Life on his acoustic guitar for an hour while it's storming. I just listened to it for a while and it is very soothing. I remember Mrs. Coach saying that she could listen to Brian playing his acoustic guitar for hours. She would absolutely love this. No need for a reaction, but if she could listen to it and let me know how she liked it I would appreciate it. It's called Brian May playing "Love of My Life" while it's storming (1 hour version)
Thank you for the info!
Check out them in Japan with the crowd singing along.
Freddie even wrote a song, on A Day at the Races, that included verses in Japanese because the crowd loved them over there.
The song is called "Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together).
This gives me chills! By the way, The entire Montreal 1981 concert is being shown in I MAX theaters across the U.S January 18 - 21st. The same concert that Freddie got so mad at the videographers and decided to thwart them by wearing short shorts so they couldn't splice the two nights together. These were (Star Wars) quality HD videographers. I have my tickets here in Houston!!
That's great that you already got tickets. The Montreal clips we have seen are great.
It's great that Queen now own the footage of both nights in Montreal 81 and they've been able to untangle that footage and they made an amazing job. Brian and Roger said that although it was filmed on a top quality film, the filming was extremely bad because that crew didn't know Queen and how their concert has to be filmed.
PLEASE OH PLEASE, do the studio version of this song!!??!! The world (yes even the non-English speaking) knew this song for a reason!!!! The harmonies/background vocals are JUST AMAZING!!!!!
Thanks for your nice reaction ! Please listen to another beautiful crowd reaction to this song. It was in Japan Tokyo 1985 Yoyogi National Stadium. Freddie seems so happy with the way the Japanese crowd interacts. He even told them their singing was absolutely perfect !
Hey Coach and Mrs.Coach....Freddie thanks the audience in Portuguese “Obrigado”.....his first language was Parsi....then English and Portuguese when he was in boarding school in India...India had been colonized by Portugal...Freddie was fluent in it...Bob Geldof said that he spent the evening with Freddie speaking Gaeilge (Irish)...amazing...yes, the crowd was chanting Brian’s name🤩
Impressive that he could speak that many languages. That always impresses us.
a little corection , India was colonized by UK except for Goa which was correctly colonized by Portugal.
Queen performed two nights in Rio with over 250K in the crowds each night!! Considered the largest crowd ever at that time!! Queen took to the stage at 2a.m. 🥱 Really remarkable!! The headliners at Rock n Rio were Queen, Rod Stewart, AC/DC, YES, Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, George Benson, & the Scorpions!
Yes they’re cheering g for Brian. It’s nice to see him get some love.
If Mrs Coach would like to fangirl over this song I highly recommend their performance in Montreal.
Freddie was teary
Everyone loves the this version of the song due to the MASSIVE crowd. Absolutely outstanding. I prefer Montreal - you can hear so much better and Brian's playing of the 12 string guitar is out of this world. Just my humble opinion.
Happy new year to you both from an original Queen fan from the old days, here in the UK.
Really enjoy all your Queen reactions, and take on board what you've said about people getting offended. Even die hard Queen fans would sometimes wonder what the hell they were doing!
Please don't stop doing Queen stuff, there's so much more to discover, and your videos are so entertaining and have made me kind of fall in love with them all over again, and made me feel young!!!
Cheers to you both, and I wish you and your channel all the success it deserves.
Pete x
You are so kind to say that. We truly appreciate you! 🙏
There's a great suggestion Don't Stop Me Now
I am so glad that Mr. Coach watched and liked the Rock In Rio performance of the song that was suggested, I knew Mrs. Coach would. Happy New Year to you both! One I think Coach will like
is I Want It All and Dead On Time. Yes they were chanting Brian's name.
Thank you. It was a really cool moment with the crowd.
Yes, the crowd was calling “Brian”.
Thanks, Coachies! it's impressive how the South American crowd knows the song.. and Freddie lets them sing it! lol (p.s. Ms. Coach.. Brian has been the "love of my life" since I was a teenager.. he is an amazing talent.. to this day.. and on this.. the 12-string guitar! = and they are chanting "Brian".. what a great audience!)
Iconic Queen song… It is Freddie’s song as mentioned below. He got the inspiration for it while he was taking a shower. He asked somebody to bring him a guitar in the shower to compose it. Rogers says that he still doesn’t understands how Freddie was able to fit an acoustic guitar in the bathtub and compose it. It took him 10 mins. It is dedicated to Mary Austin - his GF. A very controversial figure in his life we the Queen Army are on the fence about due to her actions and her recent auction of Freddie belongings. The group especially Brian and the Freddie’s family were very hurt by them. But let’s not go there because we don’t want to bring the ongoing war over to this beautiful channel which keeps delivering beautiful reviews. Although the views might explode if we do …
😆 Yeah, controversy seems to bring views sometimes. We do appreciate your kind words and sharing that story. A guitar in the shower. 😆 🤣
It just shows Freddies cspacity to control a crowd.Best front man ever❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
He was incredible!
Crowd control at it's finest!!
Crazy little thing called love-queen live Montreal or now I’m here live Montreal
That guitar in the back was soothing, closed my eyes and listened to it.
Yes, Brian plays a 12-string beautifully ❤
Thanks a lot for this reaction🤍 please, do live at the Rainbow 1974 “In The Lap Of The Gods” the next one🙏🏻
There are actually around 350,000, I think (that’s what I’ve read from someone who was there, anyway; there may have been even more, because there was an “open gate” for folks who had purchased tickets for the week-long festival to come-and-go anytime.)
…And, yes, during Brian’s guitar solo, all those (NON-English-speaking) folks are chanting “BRIAN”.
you should react to, Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody, its just the crowd singing, it will blow your mind
Can't help it,,, 2nd time to watched the video. Missed Freddie 💔💔💔The one and only greatest front man of all time. Thank you very much Coach and Mrs. Coach. #LoveQueenForever
Glad you enjoyed it
Simple music done expertly. Queen is just phenomenal.
Meu país ❤🇧🇷
Great reaction guys! There were 200,000+ people in the audience. For Mrs Coach you can see another version of this at the Montreal concert 1981. Where the audience doesn’t sing it’s just Freddie on a stool and Brian on acoustic guitar!
Thanks for that info!
Hello Coach & Mrs Coach.
Firstly thank you for reacting to this song. I was one of the many Queen fans that suggested it to you.
Secondly yes Brian May is playing an acoustic guitar but it's a 12 string.
Again thank yiy for allowing us to see your reaction look forward to seeing future reactions
Great suggestion! Thank you!
Thank you Mr & Mrs Coach for another amazing reaction! Love this son, written by Freddie for his one true love Mary Austin. Although their romance didn’t last they remained lifelong friends, Freddie trusted her more than anyone else . Freddie left most of his estate to her & she still lives in his London mansion to this day! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
That's amazing that he did that for her. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this. One of my favorite songs. One year of Love is another great song for Mrs. Coach. Written for Highlander movie with Its a Kind of Magic and Who Wants to Live Forever.
They were chanting Brian, and it was he who said they sound great, Fred had left the stage by then, it's around a quarter of a million people at this concert alone and I think they had three there in total with roughly the same amount each time, of none speaking English as the first language which is why they let them sing more of this and other songs than normal. Sir Brian still has this song is the Queen concerts and sings it with Fred
Very cool to know. Thanks for sharing!
Hi folks! The first time I saw them (Jan '77) they had taken a part of their show and brought everybody in the band up to the front of the stage and did an acoustic medley of three or four songs and finished with this. (Among all the other things Queen invented singularly and collectively, they invented Unplugged 11 years before MTV put it on.) By this time, this was a highlight of every show and still is. Now Brian performs it with a video of Freddie, and it's almost like the real thing. Always brings a tear. And Mrs. Coach, if you're enamored of the acoustic guitar, I think you'll like the acoustic-centric "'39". And on the same record, you can enjoy his epic ukelele on "Good Company". As for this performance; Us: "Freddie, you're performing for a quarter of a million people tonight!" Freddie: "So, a Monday." Love you guys!
This is great! Thank you for taking time to tell us this. We always appreciate the good stories you share!
@@CoachCastTV You're very kind to indulge this lonely widow. See you next time!
@@cainealexander-mccord2805 You're very important to us. See you soon!❤
when the audience becomes the performer! Their fans carried a lot of it with Freddie quietly guiding them along. I didn't realize you had not reacted to this yet. Here, Brian plays an acoustic 12 string, but in the studio version he starts out playing a HARP before the guitar work! Freddie wanted that sound, so Brian self-taught enough to do what Freddie wanted. Plus there is a ton of Freddie's piano in the original. Very classical sounding. I think Mrs Coach would like to hear it.
That is quite interesting and impressive regarding the harp.
Only Freddie and Queen
Hello, this song is dedicated to your love Mary. But I think the best way to appreciate this beautiful song is in the studio. In studio it is impressive. Live, it goes down a lot. thank you.
Makes sense that a lot was missed in this version but the crowd was fantastic, of course.
For Mr coach- headlong
For mrs coach-my melancholy blues
2 great queen songs spanning 3 decades
For both of you -the millionaire waltz
The crowds in Rio will sing to anything. I have seen the concert featuring Rush in Rio. The crowd sung to the track called La Villa Strangiato and it doesn't have any lyrics.
This gig was the Works Tour. The Works is one of the better albums from the 80s.
there are a few versions of this song to experience , this particular version really highlights the crowd participation
but there is a lot to this song that you dont get to experience , for that i would suggest the studio version as it is beyond extraordinary i know you guys get a ton of requests so not getting my hopes up but surely would be a treat if you do so
have a great day guys
Thank you so much. Yes, we definitely realize we missed a lot of lyrics in this version but the crowd was great to see.
O mais impressionante é que o inglês não é nossa língua oficial, mais a música rompe fronteiras. Sou Brasileiro e poço lhes garantir que esse show marcou pra sempre o Queen
Yes, music definitely brings people together and we've said that on several videos we've done. Agree 100%.
Hi Coach and Mrs Coach, this song was written for Mary freddie's girlfriend, it was a hort relationship on that part, as freddie was gay, but they stayed great friends, throught out freddies life, and was freddies's only true love, he also left his estate to Mary when he passed, there is one of is houses in London you can still see from the outside
Good info. We didn't know that.
300,000 people in a country where English is not the primary language. All the big name acts go to South America today.
I prefer the Wembley 86 version, but I'm biased because I was there then!
Oh, wow, well that is understandable. LOL
4th like 👍, now that's a perfect concert both the artist and the fans singing, his smile when the fans sang tell everything, truly magical, I have never been to a concert but I would want to experience it someday.
Agreed...great moment!
Hi Mr. and Mrs. C, i’m a massive Queen fan and i’m really enjoying your reactions.
I wanted to reccomend to give a listen to a belgian artist Jacques Brel.
He is considered a master of modern chanson and he has inspired some massive names like David Bowie and Scott Walker and his songs were covered by Nina Simone, Bowie, Frank Sinatra and many others.
I would highly suggest Amsterdam and Ces gens la (both live with english subtitles)
Love from Serbia❤
Thank you so much for the suggestion. We really appreciate you watching. Amazing how many Queen fans there are from all over the world.
@@CoachCastTV It is amazing that there are literally MILLIONS of Queen fans from just about everywhere on this planet. I think it's a testament to their creativity, diversity, musicianship and showmanship. Queen is one of a just a few bands who are relevant even now - even so many years after their immensely successful world-wide career. Love your reactions. Congrats on your ever-growing channel. Happy 2024!
@@lindamaclellan4899 Well said. And thank you so much!
Much respect on the Callaway stuff you’re always rocking.
LOL, thanks. Didn't think anyone would even notice.
@@CoachCastTV Consider it noticed and appreciated.
Vou até falar em português, estava doida por essa reação, essa foi a abertura da primeira edição do Rock in Rio, que hoje é o maior festival de rock do mundo, e todos conseguem harmonizar perfeitamente pois saber essa música é quase cultural para nós, era uma das mais pedidas na rádio, principalmente a versão ao vivo, e essa apresentação ficou marcada na nossa memória por gerações. A primeira banda estrangeira a vir a América do Sul ❤
That's fantastic. Such an amazing connection between the crowd and the band.
A different set of this song from 1981 Canada is wonderful.
Actually, we're all kind of split in middle about the different performances of this song. I'm personally on Team Wembley, but either one of them brings a tear to the eye.
BEST SONG EVER ❤❤
I recommend watching BIBI Vengeance
Great reaction once again,like you coach, ballads aren't really my thing but you have to admire quality when you hear it , one instrument and one voice is all it took .
The wembley 86 version is my personal favourire, again with great but more controlled crowd interaction.
Moving on how about " dont stop me now " or " i want it all "
Keep up the great work and congratulations on the 10k subscibers, well deserved.
Thank you so much. We'll keep going down the Queen rabbit hole.
❤
Wonderful ❤❤❤
Of course that should have read “love this song”🤣
Remember they speak Portuguese
A melhor vós que já existiu na musica. Tem coisas que só nasce um.
.
Try "Starfleet" by Brian May and Eddie Van Halen, thier tribute release to the TV kids show
We told you it was beautiful and amazing.
Yes it was!
This my absolute fave .. esp this vid!
You prob won’t see this.. because I’m late to your party and going thru your playlist..
But u should do Seas of the 7 Rhye
We try to keep an eye on the comments. Appreciate you watching our vids.
💕
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You really need to do "Slow Down" by Brian. It's one you'll like Coach! Rock and roll and plenty of guitar, from 1998.😅
Thank you for this suggestion!
As good as it gets
I am one of your viewers who exclusively watches your k-pop girl group reactions, but I am making an effort to support you guys by watching one of your reaction to a different genre of music. I will however probably only keep watching your k-pop reactions and here is my reasoning. As many viewers have expressed, I follow many reactors and have a certain amount of time to dedicate to everyone, so choices have to be made. However, it is not my main reason for only watching your k-pop reactions. You see, I am a fan of rock, pop, metal, rap, and many of my friends and family are also. Therefore I can share my love of this genre with people close to me. I do not have anyone in my life to share my love of k-pop with. Therefore, I seek out a community of people who also love k-pop online to share my enthusiasm with. It is not close-mindedness or an unwillingness to listen to other genres, but k-pop is the only genre which creates a need to watch reactors for me. That is the only way I can explain it. But I truly hope you have success with all of your reactions, because you deserve it!
That is a very well-spoken reason for not watching certain videos, as well as the fact we know due to our own lives that not everyone has time. Clearly we appreciate every view and thank you for watching the K-pop reactions very much. Those viewers who watch everything obviously are very special to us, but we understand and cannot fault your logic. Thanks so much for hanging out with us when you do!
@@CoachCastTV You can be certain that when I do hang out with you, I'm having an excellent time!
@@RudeMekanicals We truly appreciate that! Thank you again!
Hey my Friends, react to JOURNEY "who's crying now" live in Houston 1981. Great song with Amazing vocals & very good good guitare solo. Thanks 🎉
I say it on every Queen video you do but please watch Lap Of The Gods live at The Rainbow in 1974 🙏🏻
We will certainly get to that one.
@@CoachCastTV Can't wait 🙂
Brian May spielt auf einer 12 Seiten Gitarre!
I see youve done a few Queen reactions . . Mite i sugest Queens first ever top ten hit . . . Seven Seas of Rhye it was thier 3rd single . . . The first 2 . Keep Yourself Alive . . And . . Liar . . Both it seems failed to chart . . 👍🙏🇳🇿
Thanks for the suggestions. Liar is on the channel now.
I just wanted to let Coach know that Guitar World, at least I think that's the name, has named Brian May was listed as being 38 on the list of top guitarists. I think that's way too low.
100% agree. Rolling Stone also rated him down in the upper 20's I think.
Have you actually listened to the original studio recording? Everyone on reaction channels goes for the live version simply because there are videos, however the original is very different and far, far, better. It has beautiful harp and piano throughout. Music is for the ears, not the eyes.
We are following the viewer suggestions. The music is for the ears. The experience is for all the senses. We love live performances.
Helo im new here,i love to subscribe u,im filipino,i hve recommendation male singer,his name is marcelito pomoy,pls react to his cover THE POWER OF LOVE by celine dion,it has 2.2 million views,he is very amazing imitate celine dion voice
