Freddie's vocal is from Wembley 86 (the same you did Love of My Life), and Bowie's from the Freddy Mercury Tribute concert (the first time he performed this song live). And the audio is the orginal studio version (1982)
Original recording 1981, put on the album in 1982, but well said for pointing out the differences. I think this is a really well made fan video, with both live performances just 6 years apart - Queen 1986 and Bowie 1992 - both at Wembley - and it really does look like they are on stage together. Just a shame they didn't ever perform it live on stage together. Live Aid 1985 would have been an ideal opportunity!
John Decon came up with the bassline warming up backstage for a show. The others said "keep that, we'll make something with it." They sued Vanilla Ice over it and won.
Queens bass guitarist John Deacon was not amused that Ice had sampled his rift, so Queen decided to take Ice to court, but eventually Ice settled out of court for a estimated 4 million dollars,checkout Queen live at Wembley Stadium 1986 with the song Under Pressure, the live has a epic build up and Freddie has the crowd in the palm of his hand, great reaction thanks 🙏
"Is this vanilla ice" Lol. For my generation it was " is this Queen" when we first heard Vanilla Ice. He took a lot of heat for "borrowing" that iconic bassline .
He took heat because he denied sampling it and made an ass out of himself in his demonstration of how "it's not the same" (thank god he did that, cause I can still look up that clip for a laugh)
i heard Freddie was eating breakfast and listening to the radio. when the bassline started he of course assumed it was "Under Preasure" but when he heard "Ice Ice Baby"...he dropped what he was doing to call his lawyer
Under Pressure" was written and recorded by Queen and David Bowie. Originally released as a single in October 1981, it was later included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space. This is a video mashup of two different performances, but the studio version is recorded together.
The footage of Bowie is from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics sang Freddie’s part. I don’t think David and Freddie ever did this together live.
You're right. This was a mashup (very professionally done) using footage from Freddie when he was still alive, and Bowie with Annie at a tribute concert for Freddie after he died. The person who did this mashup did a great job combining the two, years apart.
You are correct. They never performed together live "Under Pressure". In hindsight, they COULD have arranged to do the song while at Live Aid in 1985, as Bowie immediately followed Queen in the play list. But Queen was a late addition to Live Aid and they had already worked out a precise song list to play in their 20 minutes allocated, all songs shortened, to maximise the number of songs they could present. Bowie, of course would probably have welcomed the collab but neither had a chance to include together. Cheers.
I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80s! I had both of their posters on my teenage bedroom walls! It is so sad that they are both gone 💔💔 Talent that will never be seen again. The 80s were the best! I'm so glad I was a teenager then!
BTW… This video is a GREAT example of how talented folks are in the Queen fan base, because the video is actually an “unofficial” mash-up of footage from Freddie’s performance at Wembley in 1986 and Bowie’s performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert - also at Wembley - in 1992. I think the person who edited the video did such a GREAT job!🥰
"Under Pressure" (from okt. 1981) was sampled by American rapper Vanilla Ice for his 1990 single "Ice Ice Baby". Vanilla Ice initially did not credit Bowie or Queen for the sample, resulting in a lawsuit that gave Bowie and Queen songwriting credit.
I believe this was Queen’s only collaboration. Check out “Barcelona” by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. That one will blow your mind; so beautiful you may need tissues.
@@GUARDSMAN97 One of which is titled "There Must Be More to Life than This" and was released on a newer compilation album several years ago. As expected of such musical greats, it's a pretty good song.
This song has a legend. Queen was working on an album and Bowie with in town and wanted to meet them. They were hanging out, doing...stuff and messing around with riffs in the studio. When they came too from their night of partying they found this recording. NO ONE REMEMBERED RECORDING IT.
Bowie and Freddie go way back before Queen was formed. Bowie was performing at the college where Freddie was a student. Bowie was unknown without an entourage. Freddie offered to help him set up. Later Bowie happened into a shop where Freddie worked. Wanted a pair of boots but didn't have enough cash. Freddie let him have them at a loss.
@michaelconnor1542...What a load of nonsense. Why would you make up such rot and post it in public? Are you that stupid or do you just crave attention?
No. They recorded the audio together. But this video is a compilation. Produced by and written by the late David Bowie, RIP, and Queen 👸. Recorded in 1981. One of the best duets. This is a bridge 🌉 for Queen, which would write and perform the soundtrack to Flash and for David Bowie, who would write ✍ Cat 🐈 People with Georgio Moroder for the movie 🎥 of the same name in the next year 1982. In the year thereafter 1983, Bowie would record the album Let's Dance 💃 with Nile Rodgers, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, RIP, and others. Suggested videos 📹: 1 David Bowie sings China 🇨🇳 Girl. 2 Queen performs Radio 📻 Gaga.
This was a big hit for Queen, only their second #1 hit in the UK. As far as I know David Bowie never performed this live with Freddie Mercury. Brian May recalled to Mojo magazine October 2008. "It was hard, because you had four very precocious boys and David, who was precocious enough for all of us. David took over the song lyrically. Looking back, it's a great song but it should have been mixed differently. Freddie and David had a fierce battle over that.
Every time I hear someone think this amazing song is vanilla ice, I die a little inside! But I’ve been a Queen fan since 1981 so there’s that. Love this collab
Initially, Vanilla Ice did not pay any songwriting royalties for Under Pressure. But the spokesperson from David Bowie and Queen’s camps filed a lawsuit of infringement of copyright laws, after which Vanilla Ice had to pay around $4 million. Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice) denied the accusations that he sampled the bassline and modified it.
Some fun facts about this song; John Deacon came up with the iconic bass line while they were in the studio, they went out to eat and when they came back he had forgotten it but Roger remembered it. It was Queen’s only actual collaboration ever, but they never performed it together, in the video montage both Freddie & David are performing with Brian, Roger & John but at 2 different concerts, with Freddie at Wembley 1986 and then David joined them for the tribute concert in 1992 to honor Freddie after he died, they never got to perform it all together. Vanilla Ice actually stole this bass line claiming to have come up with it but Queen took it to court and won and now they get royalties from the song Under Pressure live at Wembley 1986 is a must watch performance from Queen, even though it’s without David they are insanely good, Roger does his parts and sings it along with Freddie right after he does an incredible vocal warm up with the crowd, it’s be great if you guys could react to it! As always such a great video ❤
I still remember when this was first released loved it then and still love it, the Bowie footage here was taken at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert where Bowie performs this song with Queen and Annie Lennox and of course it is amazing, also at this concert Queen with Metallica doing Stone Cold Crazy and George Michael doing Somebody to Love with Queen is Legendary
5:43 "Yeah, But, I Don't Think That This Was Together" You're quite correct, Phil. David Bowie's performance footage is from "The Concert For Life," which was paying tribute to Freddie Mercury after he'd died from AIDS
Bowie is probably my favorite artist, and Queen is one of my favorite bands. This was a can't miss... it's a song I NEVER get tired of. Bowie is the constant pro and Mercury is one of the best front men EVER in rock-'n'-roll. Awesome reaction guys! Last few days have been some of the best! 😀 GO BOSTON BRUINS!!! 🍻👏🤟
1:42 "Is This Vanilla Ice?" In answer to your questions, Sam and Phil: Vanilla Ice did sample this track for "Ice, Ice Baby," but he did so without getting permission from Queen or David Bowie, and they'd sued him copyright infringement
Phil, you are spot on .... This video is a brilliant creation by some editor splicing Freddie's appearance with just Queen into the base footage where Bowie performed on stage (after Freddie's death) with Annie Lennox, who was snipped out to make it look like Freddie and Bowie are on stage together - but they are not.
The clips of Bowie in the light green suit are from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley Stadium. For Under Pressure it was Annie Lennox of Eurythmics fame standing in for Freddie and she straight killed it. Definitely worth a watch.
This is up there with Bohemian Rhapsody in my opinion. This song grabs you and sucks you into the message. Makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when Bowie sings that last section.
The footage of Bowie looks like the tribute performance he did with Annie Lennox. Nobody could replace Freddy, but she was really good. That one with Lennox and Bowie is worth a reaction video too.
In case no one mentions it, this 'video' is a compilation. Queen and David never performed it together. The Bowie section is taken from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert where he performed it with Annie Lennox.
Correct. The Bowie footage is from the tribute concert after Freddie's death. Annie Lennox sang the Mercury part. czcams.com/video/fCP2-Bfhy04/video.html
This was a fan video, they never performed it live together. The official video didn’t have either of them in and was just a series of pressure packed scenes (traffic jams, trains packed with passengers and then scenes from 1920’s era silent movies). But it was so good it was listed as the number 27 video of all time
I think the real give away was Roger Taylor. When he was playing drums behind Bowie, he was in white, when behind Mercury he was wearing a black and white hooped shirt. Small detail, but still brilliantly done. Another legendary duet you should try on for size is David Bowie and Mick Jagger’s cover of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas ‘Dancing In the Streets’, specially recorded video for I think the 1985 Live Aid concert. It was another highlight!
How can you not see both of them when they pan out on the stage? If they aren't on stage together, someone did great editing, as you can see them interacting with each other from time to time. During the tribute concert for Freddie, Bowie performed this song with Anne Lennox.
Looking for your next Queen song to react to? Look no further than the live performance of "White Queen" from the Odeon Hammersmith. I believe it was from 1975 but I may be off by a year or so! Great song and marvellous live performance from the early days of the band!!
Vanilla Ice stole the bass riff from John. They sued him and won. He should of just asked im sure it wouldnt have cost him millions to use it. The 1986 wembly version is a great one to react to. Davids bit was filmed at the mercury tribute that ia why you see queen in the background. Deacy looks so sad during the whole concert,very hard to watch
the baseline was the reason ice ice baby was popular even if they made a compensatory agreement beforehand they would have made millions , and it would have cost vanilla millions
Yep Ice was just stupid...he copied the riff, but if he asked Bowie and Freddie could he use it , it wouldn't of cost Ice losing the case and would of been far cheaper...
I don't remember many music videos from decades ago but the official video for this is unforgettable. Massive crowds, buildings and a bridge destroyed and an appearance of the original Nosferatu made it fit the music and really stand out.
Haven't searched your David Bowie list but I Highly Recommend The Lyric Video of the David Bowie song; CHANGES!! His writings are so freaking cool I recommend having the lyrics on hand. Also; DIAMOND DOGS, GOLDEN YEARS, YOUNG AMERICAN and JOHN I'M ONLY DANCING is a marvelous representation of the artist as all of these are!! Great job BARS! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
The Bowie vocal is taken from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert where he performed it with Annie Lennox and Queen. You should check that clip out, it’s great ❤
The video is a compilation. You will notice that the guitar players are young, and old in different clips. Bowie and Queen never performed on stage live. However, Bowie did sit in when the song was written, and he participated in the writing/performing, and was on the studio album.
they did perform this together...a studio version acapella you tube has the audio version two icons and you will never hear pure vocalists like these two collaborating together
The only other collaboration I know of is in the final Queen album, Innuendo from 1991. The epic title track has a Spanish guitar piece by Steve Howe from Yes. Brian May also recorded an EP in 1983 called Starfleet in which he collaborates with Eddie Van Halen.
2 of the greatest voices and personas of our times. Sadly missed. Another fantastic collaboration David Bowie, & Mick Jagger, "Dancing in the street" recorded for Live Aid and raised millions of pounds for the charity.

'He -sampled- *STOLE* this'.
👍✌️
Word to your motha.
🤣🤣🤣
Queen took that no-talent douche to court. "Vanilla" had to pay them.
Tangent, he "performed" for Trump's New Year's Eve party. #EnoughSaid
I'm 72 and I can't believe They're Both Gone!
Legend die young, or early.
They took Ice to court because he kept denying he sampled this song.
I believe Queen won in court?
The ironic thing was in the USA they were with the same record company at the time, that must've made for some interesting conversations 😂😂😂
It’s not the same song “DING DING DING DA DUH DING DING”
Not sampled, stolen.
Ice completely ripped this off. Glad Queen finally won the day.
Freddie's vocal is from Wembley 86 (the same you did Love of My Life), and Bowie's from the Freddy Mercury Tribute concert (the first time he performed this song live). And the audio is the orginal studio version (1982)
And the Tribute Concert was in 1992. Gotta get all the years in there.
Nearly, Freddie's video clips are from Wembley, the vocals are the studio recording from Montreux 😉👍
duet with annie lennox
@@gaztl1000s correct, I meant video and put vocals.

You "believe"? Brah, this is the fucking original beat.
John Decon came up with the bassline warming up backstage for a show. The others said "keep that, we'll make something with it." They sued Vanilla Ice over it and won.
He didn't.
@@Dr.Ian-PlectHe didn't what?
They was out having a meal and John came up with it but forgot it the next day and Roger remembered it
It was first used in this song then re-used for Under Pressure

David Bowie "Let's Dance" is an awesome one.
With Stevie ray Vaughan on guitar
Fantastic song!!!!
"Is this vanilla ice"
Lol.
For my generation it was " is this Queen" when we first heard Vanilla Ice. He took a lot of heat for "borrowing" that iconic bassline .
HE GOT SUED LOL!!!!!
He took heat because he denied sampling it and made an ass out of himself in his demonstration of how "it's not the same" (thank god he did that, cause I can still look up that clip for a laugh)
Stealing
It wasn't, "Is this Queen?", it was, "This is QUEEN!" The rip-off wasn't even subtle.
💯
That was John Deacon's iconic bass line which was recorded long before Vanilla Ice used it. Queen sued them and won.
i heard Freddie was eating breakfast and listening to the radio. when the bassline started he of course assumed it was "Under Preasure" but when he heard "Ice Ice Baby"...he dropped what he was doing to call his lawyer
Mostly true, it was Brian May eating breakfast.

It is a crime that this song did not reach number 1 on the American Billboard charts. Probably one of the top 5 greatest rock songs ever written.
This is a Mashup of Freddie at Wembley and Bowie at Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, it was never performed live with both.
MISS BOTH OF THESE-GUYS!!! SO TALENTED and such GREAT SOUND!!! RIP, FREDDIE & DAVID!!! You are SO MISSED!
The visuals are two separate performances but the audio is the original studio collaboration done in around 1982.

The whole album is amazing! I love the combination of Freddie's and Montserrat's voices!!!!
Freddie also did two songs with Michael Jackson.
Queen and Bowie did record another song but Bowie wasn't thrilled with his part so Queen agreed to not release it.

There's NO Chorus in this song. It has such a unique structure. Masterpiece. And that high note that Freddie hits is out of control.

Vanilla Ice stole the bass riff from John. They sued him and won. He should of just asked im sure it wouldnt have cost him millions to use it. The 1986 wembly version is a great one to react to.

The video is a compilation. You will notice that the guitar players are young, and old in different clips. Bowie and Queen never performed on stage live. However, Bowie did sit in when the song was written, and he participated in the writing/performing, and was on the studio album.
great reaction. enjoyed that :D cheers.
all time classic! ♥
Two Legends🥁💥👍
Five legends actually!
@@willswomble7274 Queen+Bowie is two !!
"Dancing In the Streets" David Bowie & Mick Jagger Duo 1985 is a must...........
Love this!!✌️❤️🎶
Such good guys. Trying to save the world through their lyrics. Rock on Freddy and David!
The bass is great.
Queen released Under Pressure in 1981. Vanilla Ice released Ice Ice baby in 1990
they did perform this together...a studio version acapella you tube has the audio version two icons and you will never hear pure vocalists like these two collaborating together
The only other collaboration I know of is in the final Queen album, Innuendo from 1991. The epic title track has a Spanish guitar piece by Steve Howe from Yes. Brian May also recorded an EP in 1983 called Starfleet in which he collaborates with Eddie Van Halen.
great song, great collab between legends so different in styles, bowie is a chameleon and freddies got great range
This was our finals song in college. Awesome!😁
?
Bowie The Thin White Duke!
Check Freddie and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona, epic.
2 of the greatest voices and personas of our times. Sadly missed.
Another fantastic collaboration David Bowie, & Mick Jagger, "Dancing in the street" recorded for Live Aid and raised millions of pounds for the charity.
I personally love “Dancing in the Street”, but critics then and now continue to shred it.
