I learned English because of Freddie and Queen. Their beautiful lyrics made me curious about what the words meant, the clear enunciation made it really easy for me to follow along. I was 6 years old when I started, dictionary in hand. I could sing the songs (absolutely terribly mind you) in perfect English before I knew all the meaning of the words. I started learning other songs too, started reading English. Queen opened up a beautiful world to me. They are my favourites forever.
It's very impressive for the crowd to sing all the words in perfect English when you understand that it's not their native language. You know you're a special kind of musician when audiences can sing every single word of your songs. Great reactions
Queen were a huge hit in Brazil and their performances at the Rock in Rio festival cemented their appeal. The shows on 12th and 18th of January attracted the biggest crowd Queen ever played to, with an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 people in attendance each night.
I've been told that the greatest honor of a singer/songwriter is to have a crowd sing your song back to you! Queen really loves the fans to be part of the show and they are. Queen and Freddie Mercury are my favorite of all time! Thanks for reacting to the greatest frontman to ever grace the stage IMHO 👏
So true freddie's voice is touched by an angel takes you to another place I have chills when I listen to this one and others performances by queen they are the best of all time thanks for your reaction 👌
Actually, May hated it. He said he felt the audience should appreciate that they were on stage working their arses off and should listen. That's why he wrote We will rock you.
My guy performs in a tank or even shirtless and still commands a crowd of hundreds of thousands. If I come on stage and start yelling, people would assume I need help LMAO
And people were surprised when they killed it at live aid…only a few months after this concert. The chants for Brian are all kinds of awesome. Can’t help but smile.
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.
While I wasn't at this show, I can personally attest to the power of Queen live in the eighties. I saw them at Madison Square Garden in September 1980 and July 1982. Check out any of the videos from "Live in Montreal 1981" that was recorded during their tour for "The Game" album. That went from early 1980 into late 1981.
I saw them live at Wembley Stadium, London, in 1986. Freddy was one of the greatest performers in the history of music . The memory of that day will stay with me all my life.❤❤❤
There is a video of Bohemian Rhapsody playing on the intercom before a Green day concert and the entire Stadium is singing along. 40 years after that song was released, entire stadiums are singing along to it at some other bands concert.... think about that for a minute.
This song he said was for Mary Austin whom he was engaged to at the time. He wrote it because he was going to come out to her as being bisexual and he knew she was going to leave him for it. She did but remained friends until he died.
May you have seen a Viedeo of Greenday. The crowds si😢ng Bohemian Rapsaody. The group play it always in so long the audition have to wait for the group. It's awesome.
I saw U2 twice after 12 hour waits and ended up in rows 3 and 5 to the stage in a crowd of 100K. And yeah, next time I'm definitely wearing a diaper, no joke! I had to pee before U2 even took the stage. Thankfully I survived.
You actually don't know the story lol. No one knows who he actually wrote that to. I love the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, but they were not right about alot of stuff. Like he never pined for Mary in real life like he does in the movie. When they ended things they stayed very close friends til the end of his life but he moved on romantically. He even had a boyfriend when they broke up. Personally I thunk he might have written that song to Mary, but more from her perspective. Again, I love the movie, but if you wanna know facts and stuff, watch a documenntary. There's a few great out ones on youtube Anyway, aboutt this perfomance, it's even more amazing when you realize the audience didn't know English that well, but they knew every word to the song ❤️
This is wonderful and terrible at the same time...can you see the black spots on his upper chest? His AIDS infection started to break out and he had only 6 more years to live...! He is missed so much!
What next should we react to from Queen?

Queen came to Brazil to be crowned by the crowd

Not only did they sing to him, they sang in English.....and Portuguese is spoken in Rio. Nothing like it before or since.
I was there!!! I was in every rock in rio because i live here.
And i was there whit adam lambert too
Freddie had a very special gift. Even with thousands of people,he had the gift of making it so personal and intimate. A true legend💜
There was no better..he was the greatest showman..He loved the crowd and they loved him back..10 fold..GOAT.......
I was there singing too. January 1985. Rock in Rio 1. I saw 10 days of shows. A lovely memory of my life.
Big hugs from Brazil ❤
Lucky you........ I'm sure those memories will always be with you. I wish I could of been there

@@josie3028 Freddie wanted to make us feel like he was singing to each of us personally and we felt that!
@Deborah Allen so true thanks for your comment❤️👍

Nós brasileiros somos os melhores fãs do mundoooo!!!!!🇧🇷🌍
His Voice Does take You to a Place Yup!!!! Amen
Queen was the best band EVER, and Freddie was a magical being.
he was like an angel
My guy performs in a tank or even shirtless and still commands a crowd of hundreds of thousands. If I come on stage and start yelling, people would assume I need help LMAO
Chanting Brian’s name like they’re at a football ⚽️ match. Priceless
Brasil sempre apaixonado por todos os artistas 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
And people were surprised when they killed it at live aid…only a few months after this concert.
The chants for Brian are all kinds of awesome. Can’t help but smile.
Oh.. Freddie's "Obrigado" ... He is so aware that English is not their language...yet they know every word!
❤🇧🇷
Beautiful Freddie, beautiful song, I wasn’t at Rio but I saw them live at Knebworth in ‘86, it was awesome.
Queen doesn't made songs they made anthems. Best bend in Universe. You are great. Thank you 😊

"Brian, Brian, Brian"
I hear this respect to Brian 🎸 👍
Some underrated gems from Queen, for your consideration:
• Spread Your Wings
• '39
• Meloncholy Blues
• Hammer To Fall
This concert is historical!
I wasn't even born yet, but this is one of my favorite concerts to watch online.

You have successfully arrived, as an artist, when the audience sings your song to you when you are onstage.
There is a video of Bohemian Rhapsody playing on the intercom before a Green day concert and the entire Stadium is singing along. 40 years after that song was released, entire stadiums are singing along to it at some other bands concert.... think about that for a minute.
Eu tinha 15 anos e foi um dos melhores dias da minha vida ❤
Eu tinha 13, Carla. Fui a 6 dos 10 dias.
E lembro como se fosse fim de semana passado. Essa eu vou levar comigo pela eternidade.
Thank you for the great reaction . Queen is my life . Thank you from germany
He was the greatest!!
This is what greatness is
ROCK IN RIO IO festival de música de 1985 foi o maior evento de rock realizado na América Latina, reunindo 1,6 milhão de pessoas.
I wasn't at rio but I was in Auckland New Zealand and got the works tour 1985. So grateful so good.
Esse show deles aqui no Brasil foi épico, até hoje as pessoas comentam.
He was special.
The magnetism of the man.
When music 🎶 travels across the world 🌎
Ola 🇧🇷 respeto 🤜💙🤛
I was there , it had rained a bit before but we were waiting to sing with Freddie.
4:30 Brian Brian Brian...
This song he said was for Mary Austin whom he was engaged to at the time. He wrote it because he was going to come out to her as being bisexual and he knew she was going to leave him for it. She did but remained friends until he died.
Isso é Brasil !!!
Tô amando os vídeos de vocês ❤❤❤🇧🇷
May you have seen a Viedeo of Greenday. The crowds si😢ng Bohemian Rapsaody. The group play it always in so long the audition have to wait for the group. It's awesome.

yea I always liked the theory that he wrote it from Mary's perspective. Makes the song more emotional for me.
This is wonderful and terrible at the same time...can you see the black spots on his upper chest? His AIDS infection started to break out and he had only 6 more years to live...! He is missed so much!
Plz dont ban me, but XI is that You ;}
