Britt I would love you to react to the whole Queen Live Aid performance as it’s around 22 minutes long and absolutely legendary!
THIS!!
What they said
Siiiiii por favor 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Totally agree but no constant pausing, it’s too good.
Agree 100%
Freddie wrote this song Britt. And originally it was actually three songs. He didn't know how to end each song, so he added the three songs together.
You should listen to the studio version also. And surprisingly the highest voice was not sung by Freddie, but by the drummer Roger Taylor.
At your service. :)
Didn’t know that!! Wow! Interesting😊
Yeah, definitely listen to the studio version and listen to the live version of Somebody to Love from Montreal 1981 concert, you can really see and hear Roger singing while playing the drums...
Freddie wrote album in a wkend I think
⚡RIP Farrokh Bulsara AKA Freddie Mercury⚡
exactly what I wanted to say
This is Freddie singing with a bad throat infection and performing against his doctor's advice. It's also just a snippet of the song. Freddie would not explain the meaning of the song and said it was actually a combination of three different songs he had written and made transitions for. The original video is actually the first music video and is a must see as others have mentioned.
There were music videos before this song. I've seen some from the 60s.
@@lesterine77 How and where were they filmed? Where did you see them? Got an example?
NO no, no. You do not just react to a small piece of the Live Aid concert. Its an event that should be seen in its entirety.
Each band had a really limited time slot for Live Aid. Queen managed to compress their songs into each other in such a way that it felt like an entire gig in something like 10 or 15 minutes. It's worth seeing their whole set, they stole the whole show to the point other bands that half assed their slot were actually mad about it
Then why half assed their slot in the first place? Maybe they don’t want to be there…
@@ToxicKadea because they were raising money for charity and not being paid I suppose. Who knows, but it happened and only served to highlight the level of effort that Queen put into their own slot.
@@pixlhound It's because other bands showcased their latest material rather than a 'greatest hits' set, Queen understood the term 'Global Jukebox' that Bob Geldof explained to everyone. No fillers.
@@JosephHuntelvisnspiders that is true, but doesn't change that a lot of the bands put very little effort into their performances. Either way, it resulted in a Queen masterclass that we are blessed to be able to enjoy on repeat
@@pixlhound True, and in fairness most of the acts didn't have the back catalogue to preform one. I was a big Queen fan then and had seen them live the year b4, I knew what to expect, but I didn't expect the global reaction they got, they were on a downward slope then and this one performance saw all their albums been bought up again. Truly amazing.
Britt, you have to experience the WHOLE performance from Queen during Live Aid. This was just a teaser. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee-oh!!" You will understand that when you see the whole performance!
Freddie always reminds me of gymnasts in these clothes: He's basically an Olympian in his field. :)
I was told that Freddie wrote the song, his producers refused to give him the go ahead saying it was confusing. He was going to leave the band until his producers said he could do the song. Now if not their biggest its in top 3
U should react to the whole 21 minutes 6 songs live Aid 1985 plus Freddie Mercury & Brian May Lead guitarist wrote it.
Just imagine that’s his live voice no lip syncing or worthless auto tune, that’s Freddie’s raw talented voice and it was written by Freddy. It’s sad Freddie was struggling at the end of his life and said it had to be his greatest
You have no idea how important this man is ! Freddie Mercury is an icon in rock music! He’s amazing 💕
The greatest song ever by the best performer and showman. Who doesn't know all the words to this song.
He knew his time was coming. He will forever be Legendary ♥️
Freddie was the best. We will never see his like again.
You mentioned how he's singing this with a little more grit and you are correct cause the song is very personal to him since it's about the moment he made up his mind as a young man who he is and how he's going to deal with it including the hard/emotional coming out to his mom.
Freddy Mercury was simply amazing, what a showman
I was just a 16-year-old watching this live on TV when this concert was televised. I was a huge fan of Queen and expected a great show from them. At that time, I wasn't aware that this performance would have been such a milestone in music history. Even today, every time I see this video, I have to stop and watch it. It never gets tiring. It's a shame how music has deteriorated to the point in which we will never have artists like Queen performing events in musical history. At least the music and videos remain for the younger generation to learn and appreciate.
I Was 15!! It Was Awesome!
You need to watch their full set
See the freakin movie Britt. There are stadiums that have all the fans singing this still to this day 30 years after Freddie's death.
check out the studio version for the whole song
You should check out the Green Day concert where the audience sings this before the band comes out.
Freddie wrote all of of it with his band! 😅
you should listen to the full song. Greatest song ever written!
Freddie sang in four-octave vocal range, which is unheard of!
crowd singing along with him...... everyone knows the words
And to add the song Bohemian Rhapsody was originally Freddie's project
Oh, Britt...covers of this song are sacrilege! No one else in the world should ever touch this. So, so happy you finally listened to Queen perform their iconic masterpiece. Just sad this video didn't include the entire song.
My son went to see Queen with Adam Lambert. I couldn’t do it, especially since I saw them with Freddie in 1982.
Axl Rose and Elton John performance is a good one
I was in the audience at Wembley Stadium that day. I didn’t think so many folks would still be talking about it nearly 40 years later, but it was a great day. Queen’s performance was iconic and is rightly singled out for praise, but so much of it was memorable.
Ditto.
Love I reacted to This Greatest band of All time Greatest song ever written
Definitely need to see entire live aid performance from Queen. Freddie wrote this
Freddie has a very unique voice
The Live Aid concert was phenominal, especially the Wembley sets - groundbreaking in so many ways, and a tribute to Bob Geldof and Midge Ure for being the inspiration and driving force behind it. But you absolutely, absolutely need to watch Queen's whole 22 minute set in one go. A landmark in music history.
And David Bowie's set is a definite must, too.
Oh, and U2 (an up and coming band at the time) were noteworthy too for Bono's audience interaction.
The movie Bohemian Rhapsody is a fantastic movie, and If you'd like to understand the significance of this song and set, the movie explains it pretty well.
You really owe it to yourself to see the whole Queen set at Live Aid. It will blow you away and show you what controling a crowd looks like.
None of that movies time line is true so don't base queens history on that. Freddie was unaware at this time he had contracted HIV
Whilst the movie was very well made, especially the Live Aid set, it played fast and loose with the timeline. Record releases in the wrong order etc and also included things tha just. never. happened!
@@garethmilford-scott1789 yeah .. I loved the movie, but it was pretty obvious they shuffled things around and added a few things for entertainment value. I am not even that knowledgeable about Queen and I could tell. But it WAS entertaining.
You still have not heard the original! The video is a must to see, there is so much compiled into it, Freddie’s masterpiece
What a great reaction. So glad you mentioned the crowd singing. Considering this was not a Queen gig and the audience were there to hear many artists, their response was incredible.
Thanks again for a fabulous reaction. I love your videos ❤
You should watch the hole Queen live ad concert, it much better that way.
Freddie didn't drink anything carbonated before or during a performance. He didn't want to risk burping into the mic, he said it would be disrespectful to the audience. He did keep tea with honey on the piano to keep his throat from drying out during a performance, and I'm sure other people performing that day had drinks for the same reason - and what better place to put them than on the piano?
Bohemian Rhapsody was all Freddie's baby. The only thing he did not really write was the guitar solo, but he had confidence in Brian May that he would play something that would complement the song.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from the whole band, Live Aid a live concert in 1985 twinned with a live concert in Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 92 thousand crowd in Philadelphia and 72 thousand crowd at Live Aid UK both concerts the were to raise money for a terrible famine in Africa, the concert was a first of a kind televised to around 2 billion people worldwide, and the concerts raised the equivalent in today’s money around 350 million dollars or near that figure,all the best artists of the time performed and they had a 20 minute slot to perform, Queen came on stage and there flamboyant performance stole the show from any other artist that performed on the day, Freddie had the crowds in the palm of his hand,the performance from Queen is legendary, Live Aid is special to me as I Actually attended the concert and have so many fantastic memories that time , Freddie is surely missed ! Great reaction thanks 🙏
Freddie knew how to entertain an audience.
You need to see the video of the Green Day concert audience singing this song in unison in it's entirety during a time when Green Day wasn't on stage. It is a testament to the popularity and lasting importance of this band .
The video: czcams.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/video.html
Thank you for pointing this out to me. It was Amazing!!!
I watched that video, after someone like yourself mentioned it, and I didn't really know what to expect and didn't think it would be that big of a deal but it nearly brought me to tears for some reason. So powerful to hear all those people just singing along without any prompting!!
Hi Britt I've followed Queen from their first album check out a song called One Vision. Bohemian Rhapsody was originally called the cowboy song by the members of the band. They would work on it back and forth put it on the shelf and come back to it till they decided on Bohemian Rhapsody.
there is a movie about Queen that came out a couple years ago called Bohemian Rhapsody...its a good watch
You should watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It can answer a lot of your questions, and give you some insight into why this performance was so special
Queen film, bohemian rhapsody this will give you all answers you need
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend watching Queen's entire set from Live Aid, all in one run. He is absolutely a powerhouse. To that point, most of the artists had 'phoned it in', basically, yeah, this is for charity and all that, whatever. Freddie ROCKED IT! Freddie knew he had AIDS at that time, but didn't tell anyone, including the other bandmates, that he was ill until much later.
Freddie MAY have suspected that he could have been experiencing the beginning symptoms of Aids at this time. However, he was diagnosed until 1987.
If you are going by what was in the movie, they played fast and loose with the timeline of actual events.
I heard somewhere that this song was Freddie's way of expressing his coming out as gay. The man he killed was himself, the old self. And IMO that's why emphasized the word truth. He was such an amazing talent, and coupled with that fantastic band, they will always be number one. p.s. I watched this concert when it first aired, and when Freddie walked out in wife beater t shirt and the faded jeans that fit just right, I fell in love!
I’ve read about lots of theories about the meaning of this song-including the one you mentioned @cindyrwagner6930. Considering that Freddie wrote most of this song long before he was a member of Queen and long before he came out as gay or bi, it could be about the fact that he had created a new identity for himself when he changed his name legally from Farrokh Bulsara to Freddie Mercury, and the man he ‘killed’ was the name or identity he was given at birth by his parents. Freddie always refused to explain the song and said that he wanted the listeners to enjoy trying to figure out what it might mean. Freddie sang every song with such emotion and conviction, it always seemed like the words of each song meant something very personal to him-even when they didn’t! He was the ultimate showman and never gave anything but 100% to the audience. So it’s possible this song might just be an interesting story he made up and doesn’t have anything to do with him at all!
freddie wrote it and it was much longer
Best version of the song. I heard an Elton John interview that he jokingly told Freddie "eff you" because how am I supposed to follow right after that!!
Just love the old Wembley stadium
He was an amazing showman
You need to see the rest of Queens performance from that day (live aid 1985)
You really need to listen to the studio version to get the full version of the song. It was an amazing concert though. Freddie wrote the song himself.
Also the producer's said the song was to long and wanted to cut it down for radio but, Freddie and the boys said it either goes as it is or it doesn't go
Freddie was a prolific writer.
This is how music icons do it!! 👏😊
All queen songs were written by all the members of the bend
Look the crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the Green Day - Concert, then you understand why this song is the greatest ever, ´cause everyone knows the lyrics.
Mercury referred to "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a "mock opera" that resulted from the combination of three songs he had written. It was recorded by Queen and co-producer Roy Thomas Baker at five studios between August and September 1975. Due to recording logistics of the era, the band had to bounce the tracks across eight generations of 24-track tape, meaning that they required nearly 200 tracks for overdubs. The song parodies elements of opera with bombastic choruses, sarcastic recitative, and distorted Italian operatic phrases. Lyrical references include Scaramouche, the fandango, Galileo Galilei, Figaro, and Beelzebub, with cries of "Bismillah!" Although critical reaction was initially mixed, retrospective reviews have acclaimed "Bohemian Rhapsody" as one of the greatest songs of all time and is often regarded as the band's signature song.
Freddie wrote this song. He had contracted AIDS and was not well for this performance. I think some of the lyrics are his farewell and this performance was pretty much his swan song and gave the audience everything he had. But really his performances were not just about the performance, but the relationship he had with the audience. He wasn’t just giving a farewell performance, but sharing a special time with 80k people that he had a bond with.
Queen wrote all of thier own music
You have to do the official video. There’s so much more to it. It’s a full 6 minutes.
His life story movie called “bohemian rhapsody” answers all your questions. Must watch movie
Please dont forget this was a crowd who were there to see lots of different acts as their favourites not just queen fans. Queen were actually in the run up to live aid heavily criticised for playing gigs in South Africa which was still operating apartheid!
They have a song called "life is real" they made it after John Lennon was shot. It's a very beautiful. I think you're gonna like the message
Freddie was in his mid twenties when he wrote this- he also made a video back in 1974 that set the high standards of MTV- before there really was an MTV-. Astounding!
Truly legendary
Clicked the first time , because of your gorgeous good looks . Finished the first video , because of your melodious voice. Subscribed because of your awesome content.
Please please please do the whole concert. Love your reactions!
You need to do the whole set.
When this concert happened, Freddie was dying from Aids and only the band and management knew. He hadn't released the news to the public.
i was 13 when this came out, we were blessed with so much music those days
A class act, brilliant
You need to see the whole song live with Freddy. Wembley or Montreal 1981 are both excellent examples. You haven’t heard the song until you’ve heard the entire original by its creators. They switched labels over this song as the head of their original label thought it was too weird and no one would like it or “bang their heads” to it. This is especially funny in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie (historically incredibly inaccurate & unfair to Freddie but the actor playing him was amazing) Mike Myers plays that record exec. If you don’t know this is hysterical because Mike Myers made it a No. 1 smash hit for the second time with its head banging inclusion in his hit movie Wayne’s World (he created the characters on SNL, wrote the movie, stars as Wayne Campbell a character & film based on his childhood in Scarborough, Ont, a suburb of Toronto. He’s also a diehard Queen fan and proud Canadian).
Freddie wrote it and was even afraid to allow the band to hear it at first, because it was such a departure from what they usually did,
Song was written by Freddie. Read a past review that lyrics are telling Freddies story of how he had to deal with his homosexuality and a world that did not accept it.
Freddie could sing the phone book (white pages), which they still had back then and it would be incredible.
Written by Freddie!
This was recorded at Live Aid. a HUGE concert televised world wide on Saturday July 13 1985 a charity benefit to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia. With 1.9 billion people watching. Over 70 bands and artists preformed over the course of 12 hours. with each act getting about 20 -25 min. All those Soda and beer cups on the piano were from the previous acts. Queen hit the stage after 7 hours of previous acts.
if you are a Queen fan, you should definitely see Bohemian Rhapsody (the movie). there's probably a lot of dramatic license but it's a great movie.
Awww, I love your queen reactions. I highly recommend watching the whole live aid set together. This song continues beautiful into Radio Ga Ga (which you really need to see). His crowd control in this live aid. Concert is absolutely amazing. You don’t get the whole Bohemian Rhapsody when you watch from Live Aid.
Freddie was advised by his Doctor not to perform at Live Aid due to him having a severe throat infection but he said no way he was missing performing
Queen writes all their songs. They don’t do covers. Freddie wrote this but I believe they always credited the whole band with the writing. This wasn’t even half the song!!
That's not beer on his piano. It's a special green tea with honey and lemon for his voice. To answer your question, Freddie wrote this one although different members wrote different songs that were hits. The incredible lead guitar player is Sir Brian May (Knight Of The Realm and Doctor Of Astrophysics) playing the guitar that he and his father made out of the mantlepiece from his childhood home because they couldn't afford to buy him a guitar and he refused to ever play another his whole career
Brian May wrote the BohRhap guitar solo
If you played the longer version he goes into radio GAGA & HAS COMMAND OF THE CROWD ITS SOMETHING TO SEE & NOT BE MISSED 😊❤
Here the crowd. Great they all sang that song and remember it isn't a Queen-concert.
You need to hear the studio version which includes an intro not included here. It is an amazing thing like all Queen songs
Freddie wrote this its a mixture of three songs that he had in his head so I uave read
This is actually only a very small part of the song 'Bohemian Rhapsody', Britt .... if you'd like to hear the entire song, check out the video, pleeeease!!
The Live versions are just so fantastic
You need to watch the whole set 😏
I am 55 years old and I was a Senior in High School when LIVE AID was kicking off.... I remember 2 things distinctly from the gig - Status Quo kicked it off with 'Rockin' All Over the World' which I guess was appropriate - and the other was the 22 minutes of the best live gig of all time.... when Queen held the audience at the venue and around the world captive and awe struck. In all my years of travelling around the sun, I have still seen nothing that has come close to their portion of the live gig. Simply brilliant - from a band that could work an audience.... one of my favourite memories from my youth
Brit, you should check out "Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park 2017]" - brings a tear to the eye... RIP Freddy!!!
like 15 seconds into the song and im crying. I was never a big queen fan cause im not old enough. But man queen was one of the greatest live bands of all time.
It is a much shortened version of the song Bohemian Rhapsody has they only had 20 minutes and they managed to fit 6 songs in. The full version of Bo Rap is around 8 minutes so they just did a abridged first part. The opera part they couldn't do live anyway, so even when they did do the full version live the band used to go off stage and there would be a backing track play. I suggest you watch the full set as it was an amazing experience and as I say there are 6 songs and only 2 are shortened. Also if you do do the full set, there is an extra song with just Freddie and Brian later in the evening that isn't normally added but can be found at the link I will try to give you. Edit couldn't leave links but look for Queen Live Aid 1985 full set and then Queen Live Aid 1985 Is This The World We Created?.
Queen, generally individually, wrote all their songs. They didn't have hired songwriters.
You should watch greenday crowd sing this song the whole song on their own, absolutely mind blowing👍
I can’t emphasize this enough, you MUST listen to the original studio recording with the official video. This is not even half the song! I know many young reactors like to go straight for live recordings. Queen was a great live band but the 70s was all about the studio recordings first. They put a lot of time and effort into creating these masterpieces and you really need to hear studio first. Thanks Brit!
you need to watch the movie he's played by Ramy malek great movie great performance great story
