Sandra Rhodes an iconic British designer back in our day designed their costumes.
It’s the seventies Anything goes!!! and nobody cared and nobody shouted about it No social media thank god !
We just all did our own thing and respected each others differences
Glad you’ve discovered one of the last century’s greatest voices , frontman and band x
Freddie was music. His whole being. It's the reason he wrote and recorded music up to a few months before his death. He sang until he hadn't the strength to go on. He could barely walk and had to be propped up to sing songs that he knew he would never hear completed. He left as much vocal tracks as he could for the rest of the band to complete after his death. His final song "Mother Love" had Brian singing the last verse because Freddie sang until he couldn't, said he'd come back to finish the song but never did and passed away. There is no video of him singing, of course, but I recommend watching the Queen Official video with the lyrics. It will break your heart to hear just how beautiful Freddie's voice was even when he was at the end of his life. I had been waiting to see your reaction to this White Queen and am so glad you did it!
he is great! glad you enjoyed the video!
Now turn around and do "March of the Black Queen" by Queen
Yes, definitely do “March of the Black Queen” but you have to do the studio version since the song was complex and they were only able to do a tiny portion of the song during live performances.
I was gonna say the same thing, but it has to be as it appears on the album. Meaning with "Funny How Love Is" included, or you kinda lose the flow.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
My favorite live performance by Queen. This performance was on Christmas Eve, 1975. The champagne glass was in his hand because he had just toasted the audience and wished them all a Merry Christmas. Live Aid was 1985, so 10 years later. Brian wrote this song about a girl in one of his classes that he had a crush on but never could get up the nerve to ask her out. The instrumental portion of this song gives me goosebumps every time. Oh that guitar!!! and Freddie filling it in with the piano. Fantastic performance, thank you for your reaction.
Ha I’ve just been looking at my photos from that night
Where did those years go eh???
One of the best nights of my little life Ever …. Apart from live aid obviously 🙄 xx
I wasn’t old enough to have gone to a Queen concert before Freddie died. I’m always a little jealous of the audience when I see a live performance. All 4 of them could have had very successful careers in music individually but they are magical together ❤❤❤
they are magical together !
This is such a great performance by QUEEN, so glad you are reacting to it 😄. This is very early QUEEN, early 1970's and a full decade before LIVE AID! QUEEN wrote a lot of "fantasy" based songs back in their earlier days and the meanings a bit hard to get a handle on. I generally just sat back and enjoyed it ! 😊 Another must see performance with Freddie at the piano is, "You Take My Breath Away", from Hyde Park. The video quality is not terrific but the performance is well worth the watch. Your description of their instruments being in a marriage was so good!
glad you enjoyed it! I will keep your suggestions in mind, thanks!
Absolutely, the Hyde Park show was the first time I saw Queen as a teenager. I lived is West London at the time and, of course, it was free. I would say it's also worth checking out the studio version of You Take My Breath Away from A Day at the Races which is a work of art, as is Love of My Life from A Night at the Opera.
Freddie is the greatest singer I have ever heard,no flaws in his voice at all,totally in a league of his own....miss him so much
This song was written by Brian May the guitarist. It's about a girl he had a crush on, but he never had the courage to speak to her.
This is typical styling for early Queen. I was lucky enough to see them in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Many of their later hits were bigger, but this is my favourite period.
it is great!
@@brittreacts I also was very fortunate to see Queen live three times in the 1970. This was the best band in the world at this time. Not only was Freddie completely untouchable at this stage of the band's development, but they were so tight together - especially live. Most bands would take the easy route and just play their normal hits, but Queen would always dig deeper and the performance was always spectacular.
You can really hear the Led Zeppelin influence in this song - it would be impossible to be on the scene in the early 70s and not be influenced by Zeppelin at least a little.
Live Aid was in 1985. This performance was 10 years earlier.
White Queen (As It Began) is the third track from Queen’s second studio album, Queen II, and was recorded in August 1973 at Trident Studios, London. It was written by guitarist Brian May for his previous band “Smile” in 1968, several years before the band “Queen” would be created.
The song details the story of the speaker’s lost love, (The White Queen) for whom he continues to wait for in agony. This song and “The March Of The Black Queen” is said to have influenced frontman, Freddie Mercury’s decision to name the band “Queen”.
Queen II is called the White and Black album as one side is white where the tracks of "White Queen" where and the other side is black where the tracks of "The March of the Black Queen" are.
This concert is 10 years before Live Aid. The song, White Queen: As It Began, is from their 1974 album, Queen II, my personal favorite. It is their second album.
White Queen lyrics written by the lead guitarist Brian May in 1968 it’s was a popular live performances for the band in the 1970s, Brian mentions the song has a medieval theme, he had the inspiration to write the song about blind girl he took a liking to in his youth, this is evident in the lyrics about her sad dark smiling eyes/ so sad my eyes she cannot see, a great ballad and Freddie’s vocals are outstanding, and the band absolutely one of the best bands ever, they were all phenomenal musicians and songwriters, great reaction thanks 🙏
I've never seen a mention by Brian that the inspiration girl was blind... she was a fellow student at university.
The lyric reference "...she cannot see" I always took as that she was wrapped up in her own thoughts and therefore couldn't/ didn't notice her fervent admirer who was too shy to speak.
Brian May never gets enough love, for most modern reactors, Freddy is the focus and often deservedly so, but Brian is one of the greatest and most unique Guitarists and songwriters, the man is brilliant! 🎸
thanks for the info!
The song was written by Brian May,it was about a girl he liked in college but he didn't have the courage to ask her out.
I believe this performance is from the concert at the Odeon Theatre in Hammersmith, in 1975. Live Aid was in 1981.
Yes, this is younger Freddie in his mercury-wings costume when he wore long hair, makeup, high-heals, and black nail polish on the fingers of his left hand (Brian wore white nail polish on the fingers of his left hand).
White Queen (As It Began) is the third track from Queen’s second studio album (also known as the Black and White album), Queen II, and was recorded in August 1973 at Trident Studios, London. It was written by guitarist Brian May for his previous band “Smile” in 1968, several years before the band “Queen” would be created.
The song details the story of the speaker’s lost love, (The White Queen) for whom he continues to wait for in agony. This song and “The March Of The Black Queen” is said to have influenced Freddie's decision to name the band “Queen”.
Some say that the two songs are said to be a part of the same story but I am not sure that I agree. The White Queen represents everything that’s good and pure about love, while the Black Queen represents the darker side of lust and forbidden desire. This song can either be the ending of “The March Of The Black Queen” or the beginning of the story.
FYI - The March of the Black Queen is said to be Freddie's rhapsodic march that is the precursor to a certain 6-minute lead single two albums later, 1975’s ambitious and surprisingly radio-friendly “Bohemian Rhapsody”- czcams.com/video/SoBMhx_ap_g/video.html.
It goes without saying that White Queen was from the white side of that album and The March of The Black Queen is from the black side of the album Queen II. Queen II is not a concept album but a collection of songs with a loose theme running throughout. The two sides of the original LP were labeled "Side White" and "Side Black" (instead of the conventional sides "A" and "B"), with corresponding photos of the band dressed in white or in black on either side of the record's label face.
Written by Brian inspired by a crush he had on a girl in his Biology class. So cute & adorable, right? Anyway, he talks of loving her from afar but lacked the courage to approach until it was too late! 🧝🏻♀️ Very Tolkien 🌿🍃 But alas, Brian commented that they did become friends later!! “So sad it ends .. as it began.”
White Queen is my favourite Queen song. This song was written by Brian May about a girl he secretly had a crush on at college. Thats the story.
You don't have to distort the picture with Queen. Queen don't mind people reacting to their music.
Freddie is wearing the white "winged Mercury" outfit he wore in the official video of "Bohemian Rhapsody." So yes this is 1975 - the early years.
This was 10 years before Live Aid. No mustach is the 70's, mustache started in 81. Then no mustache in later 80's during Barcelona era with Montserrat Caballe and for his cover of The Great Pretender, and beard for the Miracle album videos
There seem to be two camps of Queen fans: 1970s Prog/Glam Rock and 1980s Arena BIG sound. I love both because one would not have happened without the other. Queen went from complex compositions & layered vocals to a streamlined approach to their sound. When you hear either one, you know it is Queen. You may not know the song, or the style will surprise you, but the sound...unmistakable. COLD STONE CRAZY live at the Rainbow 1974- another Queen facet you have yet to see.
The song was written by the guitarist, Brian May. It is about a girl he was infatuated with in his youth.
this whole album is like a story, march of the black Queen, going into Orge battle...dang memories, been listening to this since first discovered back in 75, Queen, a staple of my life
Queen's The Prophet's Song is the most amazing thing I've ever heard.
A virtuoso group. Everybody has tons of talent and ability. But Freddie made them something extraordinary.
Hauntingly Beautiful Sir Dr Brian May wrote this in college about a girl he liked but was too shy to tell her.
I believe she was blind.
love that!
Live Aid was ten years later 1985-This performance, White Queen Live at The Hammersmith 1975, was my favorite
Those outfits as well as several others are in the Queen museum that is in the casino in Montreux, Switzerland. I was lucky enough to get to visit there in 2019. Freddie's statue overlooks Lake Geneva. It's beautiful as was he.
The costume in this video was, I think, designed to represent Mercury, the Greek Mythological Messenger of the Gods who had wings on his arms and feet, hence Fred's winged wrists and ankles. This is the costume he wore in the Bohemian Rhapsody video.
Freddie with long hair, black nail varnish is from the 70s...this is from 1975, in fact it was filmed on Christmas night in 1975 at Hammersmith Odeon...
This song is one of the reasons I bought my ticket to see them live for the first time in the 70s. Almost everyone else my age (high school) had picked seeing KISS the following weekend.
Such agreat performance freddie's voice is stunning the best performer ever you can't find the exact word to describe his grestness and of course the all members are great talents no dought when it comes to queen perfection is the world keep going loved it ❤️ ❤❤
This song is from their second studio album Queen II, which has a kind of rock/medieval/renaissance feel throughout. The original vinyl release, instead of “side 1” and “side 2,” had “Side White” and “Side Black.” All the songs on Side Black were written by Freddie. Side White had Brian’s song “White Queen,” and Side Black had Freddie’s song “March of the Black Queen,” which is an epic song and in some ways a precursor to “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I definitely recommend checking out the Queen II album!
I really enjoyed your reaction - subscribed!
Here a anthem from the 70’s that we would stand and salute by the Godz, “Gotta Keep a Runnin”
few people know Freddie was a trully gifted pianist, probably the best frontman playing piano on stage and doing it in front of a big audience.. such a shame he left this world at only 46 years old
Live aid was 1985, this is 1975
thanks for letting me know!
Live Aid was in 1985, 10 years after this.
Queen's second album Queen II could be considered by some to be a concept album in that it plays very well on the turntable a whole side at a time. One thing unique about this album was instead of side 1 and 2, it has Side White and Side Black. Side White has 4 songs written by Brian beginning with Procession which is a well layered guitar only "solo" by Brian that goes into Father to Son which blends into White Queen both sung by Freddie. Someday One Day is sung by Brian, and Loser in the End is sun by drummer Roger with his very unique voice. It's a tribute to his mother.
Side Black is all written by and lead singing by Freddie except for a couple of lines by Brian an Roger. It has March of the Black Queen which shows Freddie's writing style for Bohemian Rhapsody had this come first. Doing a reaction to either album side would be difficult, but consider checking it out.
The last song of Side Black has a carnival sounding recording that is an introducing their third album, Sheer Heart Attack with its first song Brighton Rock. A long live version of that song has Brian playing a very long solo with very interesting guitar sounds.
The beginning of a LEGEND..
There is a biopic that the band members were involved with about Freddy Mercury's life called Bohemian Rhapsody.. Watch it.. It will be one of your favorite movies...Ever!
This is a wonderful album. I played it over and over when I first got it back in the mid-seventies before their real fame and hits came along. There is some absolutely incredible incredible music on this album. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_II
It is a great song i bet the album is amazing!
Guitarist Brian Mat wrote that about a girl that he was love with in college but was too shy to approach her.
One Year of Love, written by John for Highlander move is a beautiful song. Freddie sings the blues. Also, Who Wants to Live Forever, written bu Brian for the same movieis amazing. Listen to the live in Budapest version of it.
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Back in those days, Freddie the fashion graduate, dressed them all!
And I thought I knew old Queen. Never heard this song. Cool. It’s nice to react first time on this end as well ❤
Boom .. 🎼🔥🎼
Britt you are amazing and you brought (another) smile to my face! I was one of the many people who recommended you check out this live performance and I am so pleased you did! Others have already made the follow up suggestion I was going to, and so I will too! The companion song from side Black of their second album contains a masterpiece called "March of the Black Queen" and it is the precursor to "Bohemian Rhapsody"! There are no concert versions of it, however, so you will need to just listen to the studio LP on this one. For another early Queen live performance I will add to your list "Liar" from The Rainbow 1974! Thanks again, you made my week!!
It is truly awesome On the queen II album. The album smacks of lord of the rings.
I just requested this. I missed it on your list. Isn't this just amazing? SQUEEEEEE! It is hard to believe it's live.
They are all so extremely talented. They loved each other like brothers. I think, for me, you can hear and feel it in their music. I can only imagine how hard it was for them to go on without him. He's missed by millions ❤☮️
"Queen - Father to son (live rainbow 1974)" - power vocal🔥
It's cool that you say that Freddie means what he's singing because this was Brians song, the guitarrist. He continuously took to heart what his band wrote and made his own to sing so it always feel so genuine as if he was a spokesperson to the rest of his band.
Freddie loved Ballet and took classes for a time
Don't think he had any ballet lessons as such. He did perform with The Royal Ballet for charity in 1979 but, by his own admission, could not dance for toffee. He was a decent boxer as a young lad so that may have helped his movement.
@reggiestan okays thanks..
Thought for sure I'd heard He had , watching numerous Docs. Plus the clips in " I want to break free & 1, other, where he's in the black and white Leotards
doing all the moves Similar to Ballet, Planted that as True, and yes the boxing, I'd forgot, anyway thank you for being so gracious
Nothing like early era Queen, I was fortunate to see them twice during the Seventies and they were Amazing.. R.I.P. Freddie Mercury…
Hello. I love the way you react. I recommend you listen to these queen songs written by Freddie: Killer queen, you take my breath away; 39 written by guitarist Brian May, and rock it (prime jive) written by drummer Roger Taylor. It will surprise you.
I will keep those in mind, thanks!
Part of your problem understanding the meaning of the song is that it is from Queen II which was a concept album. The White Queen was from Side White which were mostly Brian's songs. Then there was Side Black which were mostly Freddie's songs. Check out The Black Queen, which is considered to be a legitimate predecessor to Bohemian Rhapsody.
Nice! And for some more great rocking Queen from their early years, try Liar from the first album, Ogre Battle from Queen 2 and Brighton Rock from their third album, Killer Queen, which is also a famous tune. They made some of their best music in the mid 70s, well worth checking out. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Now you should do March of the Black Queen. Both are from the Album Queen 2 which had instead of sides 1 and 2, it had sides White and Black
This is 1975. Live Aid was 1985.
I've always been a huge Queen fan but there are a few songs that never grabbed me. This is one of them.
This was 10 YEARS BEFORE live aid.
The longer their hair the earlier the time-. I miss long hair Freddie clean shaven- this was 10 years before Live Aid-. You stay with Queen and you will cover about 20 years of brilliance! Over 200 songs-
Stunning as always
You have to remember that your parents were probably just little kids back then..yeh..haha..i was 4yrs old back then..wow...
Very different from Somebody to Love live in Montreal from 1981 that I watched you react to. Queen are just amazing. You feel every song. White Queen is very theatrical but also very powerful and the delivery of the sounds are incredible. Can I say without any agenda, I love your hair. Looking as beautiful as Queen sound. Thanks for the reaction keep doing Queen.
This is from their 2nd Album called Queen II (wonder how they picked that name?😊). While there were known some charting at 49 in the US it was before they blew up with the Album A Night at the Opera in late 75. Freddie was never confident in his piano playing and near the end of his life rarely played.
thanks for the info!
I don't think he had any lack of confidence in any element of his performance but he just felt he wasn't an exceptional player, although Bri disagreed.
@@reggiestan same thing said differently. I play piano and can assure you Freddie was a. Exceptional pianist.
you probably know this, but your hair is amazing
Good reaction, perhaps too many paused but great none the less... loving your smile too
Freddie was an excellent pianist, though he always underrated his play. Pls, check out the Dragon Attack at Montreal 81.
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Welcome to early Queen!!!… incredible music, and Freddie sang like an angel meets the devil. None of that silly yelling he would do in his later short hair years. I personally appreciated his performance and stage persona much more back in the glam days!
I've never heard this
What made this performance even more mind-blowing...?
Freddie and Brian both had the flu !
(And it wouldn't surprise me if John and Roger were starting to feel symptoms too, or came down sick a few days later)
Its 74 I believe. Live Aid was 85
Not a dancer just a great artist
This was early on in their career.
Nobody can touch Freddy's vocals
Freddie's not a dancer, he's a prancer
The quality of this version is bad- maybe you could watch another which is crisp and excellent-
This is the second time I've been on your channel. For the second time, I am convinced that you are not a very attentive listener.
You only perceive the work of the frontman, but not the band. You pause in inappropriate places to say something rather banal.
Sadly.
Too many interruptions which spoiled the reaction for me.
....so sad it ends...as it BEGAN. ( Not " begins " ).
And you pause videos more than any reactor on CZcams. Please STOP.
