In my eyes, Freddie Mercury is the best singer and performer in rock n roll history
Agreed 👑
Agree!
not just a singer bro, he was way more talented he played guitar, wrote songs, beats, played Piano and bass , he did it fucking all xD
I'd agree but add music history
is the best singer... stop.
There was no one that can control a crowd like freddie!!
The funny thing is NO ONE in that concert bought a ticket to see Queen...The Live Aid concert was sold out already when Queen was added to the bill, and they went on to steal the show!!!
Not even close
But the crowd is singing their songs
I wonder what would have happened at Wembley if Slade had performed.
Oh he LED them mot controlled. They needed that blast of fun and freedom bless them!!
I just saw it on TV can’t say I was there (I WISH) but MTV hooked me up✨😎
A microphone in one hand..the crowd in the other hand...absolute legend 👍
Brian may also plays in blue n black with five finger death punch. Looks the same but gray hair and still rocks
It's not just you I swear, any Queen fan has to admit that their live performances were just on a completely different level. Yes we're glad there's studio versions and albums to listen to now but, they were a force on stage.
Facts
Absolutely correct! There is no better live band IMO and Freddie is on a different level when he's on stage. No one can touch him.
This was considered the greatest concert ever. What queen did at wembley
The funny thing is NO ONE in that concert bought a ticket to see Queen...The Live Aid concert was sold out already when Queen was added to the bill, and they went on to steal the show!!!
The concert was a lineup of the Who's Who of the music industry at the time. And people ONLY remember Queen.
@@allanjones1680 im not sure about that lol Queen had millions of the fans right there also you can see the crowd singing their songs
It was good, not the greatest, because that puts others into a competition they probably don't want to be a part of. And yeah, people were there for Queen. And Bowie. And Status Quo. They weren't there for U2, who were virtual unknowns when they started their set and world famous when they finished it.
At the time, Queen weren't doing so well, partly due to the I Want To Break Free video that the Americans and NTV didn't like at all. So they knew this was their chance to get back in the US. And boy, did they ever!
Queen were a good, tight band with a world class singer at the front.
And Freddy took the 5pm spot cause he knew that’s when everyone was coming home from work eating dinner while watching tv
If you watch the movie bohemian rhapsody, it’s about Queen and Freddie’s life, he blew the kiss to his mom who was home watching. Someone once asked what instruments he played. He replied “the audience darling”.
Freddie never thought his piano playing was good enough. He was the greatest Front Man ever. Period.
It breaks my heart to think he didn't see or hear what we did.
Freddie Mercury wasn't just a singer or a performer, he was a SHOWMAN in every sense of the word.
Queen is iconic. There will never be another Freddy. He could work a crowd
Oh Freddie!!!!! The world truly lost a great one when he died 💕
❣
No autotune... no pre-recorded vocals... all live band w/ some programmed background synths. That was what made this performance beyond amazing...
The stadium is Wembley in London. There were around 72 000 there.
Brian May on the guitar, John Deacon on bass and Roger Taylor on drums.
72k at Wembley and an estimated 1.9 billion world wide via satellite.
@@egk2584 True story, in some large cities, this was being watched by so many people who were singing/clapping along, there were high rises where people could hear it reverberating through the entire buildings at the time. 'The concert heard round the world' literally.
There were thousands in the crowd and Freddie had that moment of control over every single one of them 🔥🤘😍
And most of the crowd wasn't even queen fans as queen didn't know they was going to play till all the list had already gone out. Amazing band 👍
The concert was at Wembley in London there were around 72,000 at Wembley & simultaneously around 89,000 in Philadelphia & an estimated 1.9 billion watched on TV more than 75 acts performed to raise money for the famine in Africa x Freddie Mercury vocals & piano, Dr Brian May lead guitar & vocals, Roger Taylor drummer & vocals & John Deacon bass guitar x
folk story 1.9 billion watched on TV
in reality 400 mil was the estimation made by the broadcasters BBC
@@roverwaters3875 According to USAToday: Live Aid was a benefit concert watched by nearly 2 billion people worldwide when it was broadcast on July 13, 1985. The fundraising event was held simultaneously at Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy Stadium and London's Wembley Stadium. NYTimes: An estimated 1.5 billion viewers tuned in. AND BBC: Wembley was packed with a crowd of 72,000, and TV pictures, co-ordinated at BBC Television Centre, have been beamed to over 1.5 bn people in 160 countries in the biggest broadcast ever known.
@@nanner3200 " beamed" is not the same thing with "watched"
BBC quote: . It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time with an estimated 400 million viewers, across 60 countries, watching the live broadcast
@@roverwaters3875 USAToday = 2 billion. NYT = 1.5 billion. You choose to pick apart the BBC use of one word? WHY is this so important to you? To be right? When decades of info say the opposite.
@@nanner3200
BBC were the broadcaster world wide
ABC broadcasted 3 hours only in US.
BBC knows best
Plus you must be really stupid to believe 1.5 billion watched a pop music festival.
The extraordinary guitar player is Brian May. If his achievements with Queen aren't enough, after Freddie Mercury's death there was a lull where Queen was not performing. In that time Brian May completed his PhD in astrophysics.
I love his Instagram. Such a sweet and gentle man. 💕
An interesting point to note is that Freddie Mercury was the only "artist" in the band (he went to uni for art and design) - Brian May is an astrophysicist (put his PhD on hold when Queen took off), Roger Taylor was studying to be a dentist until he got bored and changed his degree to BSc Biology and John Deacon was an electrical engineer (studied electronics at uni and they say this was one of the reasons he got into the band).
At the time of Live Aid I was serving in the British Royal Marine Commandos in a refugee camp in Ethiopia. We listened to it on the radio. We were surrounded by the full horror of the Famine, but when Queen came on the radio those poor soles who were there even reacted in a very positive way. I remember that a lot of us Royal Marine Commandos were crying watching some of the children dancing along, I'm teary eyed just remembering. I looked around at men I had fought alongside, who were tough, hardened Royal Marine Commandos who had fought a life and death war against Argentinian's in 82. By the end of Queen's set we were dancing with the children. It went along way to help build their trust in us. The famine is only one of many terrible memories I have from 34 years of active service, and over 2 years hospitalisation. But when I remember the smiles on the children's faces, and their laughter at the terrible way we danced always reminds me that humanity will always find it's way through even the worst of times. I only watched it for the first time last year, my son put it on the TV. A lot of memories came back and a lot of tears.
My amazing Wife took me to see Queen at Wembley, U.K., in 1986 two weeks after I got back from Ethiopia as a surprise. I saw Queen live 6 times in all, they were incredible live. And yes, I am an old fart.
You're going to need to give Queen their own Playlist
Absolutely ridiculous quite possibly the greatest live vocal performance absolute perfection God bless and rest your soul Freddy
ULTIMATE CROWD CONTROL BABY!!! They'll never be another Freddie!! RIP🎶💜🎵💜 This was at Wembley Stadium in London, I think it was around 72,000 people there!!💜
He was diagnosed with laryngitis a week before this concert throat issue and doctor advised he rest his voice instead of doing this concert but he gave it all he got. What a legend.
Freddie was voted the greatest front man of all time.
I agree with you about Radio Gaga. It's actually sped up quite a bit from the studio version. Same with the followup song, Hammer To Fall. Every performer only had about 20 minutes and Queen were the ones who used the time the best by shortening some songs and speeding up others.
I like them both this way a bit sped up. This was btw the first time they played Radio Gaga for a live audience.
My girl when she was a baby LOVED “Radio Gaga”
BLASTED that in the preschool parking lot😂😂😂 Mama was proud LOL!!!
Also she been answering to “ready Freddie?” ForEVER
Bless!!👏✨👏✨
Freddy owned the world that day. Probably the best front man ever. That concert was seen world wide!
This is why i think Queen was the worlds best band ever.
Rest in Peace, Freddie. :(
The day the world stood still and watch Queen and beloved Freddie
One of the best live performances ever
I have always loved the way the security guys are looking at Freddie instead of the crowd.CHARISMA
Wow, I was 3 when this took place.. 🤦🏾 I'm actually beginning to have a bigger appreciation and love for Queen through watching your reaction videos. I'd heard of them but never actually paid attention to their music. They're incredibly awesome😎🤘🏾🖤🎸
And Freddie Mercury is Tha Man😎❗
Well with this event, it was broadcasted across the planet. So millions upon millions of people watched
Great Reaction. The biggest thing to remember about this concert is when all those people bought their tickets queen was not even one of The bands that were supposed to be playing that day.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Artists take notes! Freddy is the Stage God! The best part is that his stage presence was him, not an act. He lived his life the same way on stage that he did off stage. A True Showmen! The center of every room. RIP to the Stage God
Freddie had a throat infection during this concert, his doctor advised him not to sing. He blew the kiss to his Mum 💐
YAAAAY... You made my day!!
LEAD SINGER=FREDDIE MERCURY
LEAD GUITAR=BRIAN MAY
DRUMS=ROGER TAYLOR
BASS GUITAR=JOHN DEACON
There... Now QUEEN can be your favorite band cuz you KNOW THEIR NAMES😅
Freddie had a degree in Art/Graphic Design; he designed Queen's logo/was an AMAZING artist.
He had zero formal voice training/was totally self-taught except for piano lessons. (He quit taking the lessons after four years cuz - in his words - "I can't really read sheet music!")🤯 Offstage, Fred was actually quite shy & called himself "really quite boring!" Fred was born in Zanzibar as Farouk Bulsara/was raised in the Zoroastrian religion; NO ONE knows where Freddie's ashes are interred except for his life-long best friend Mary Austen.
DR. Brian May is an ASTRO PHYSICIST & has done work w NASA. He's a vegetarian/HUGE animal rights activist & says he's Agnostic.
Roger Taylor has a degree in Dentistry; he sings like Rod Stewart & has a GIGANTIC statue of Freddie in his garden.
John Deacon has a degree in Electrical Engineering & designed/built Queen's unique amp system. (No one else has been able to figure out how to replicate it.)
John/his wife are Catholic; they've been married 40+ yrs w 6 kids!. He retired after Freddie died (he was heartbroken) & lives very reclusively. To-this-day tho, John still oversees Queen's finances & Brian/Roger involve him in all their "Queen decision-making".
Now you know them a little better.💕
Tysvm ❤ QUEEN FOREVER ❤
LEGEND!!!!!!
Possibly the finest vocalist in the history of music.
It’s not just you. Everyone loves live Queen. Their concerts were legendary & this 20 minute set is a great example of how good they were.
As far as Freddie knowing where Brian was…they were a very good working unit. They knew each other so well, and could anticipate each other’s moves. They also always came prepared. They rehearsed this set for a week, while most of the other performers went out their and just winged it.
Ill sit thru a 2 hr queen concert reaction 👑❤💛
WTH??? I assumed you already did Queen's Live Aid performance!! Sorry, my bad.... I'll be sure to search your reactions in the future! YESSSS!! Keep going with Queen..... "Fat Bottomed Girls" (if you haven't already) .... be back to suggest others after I've checked your Queen reactions!! Gonna watch now!! Thanks for this one!! ;)
EDIT: Freddie blew that kiss to his Mother!! what a sweetheart!!
Freddie Mercury was a bad man amazing performer the scatting was so awesome great reaction van
Walked in my dads yesterday and he was watching this 🔥🤘❤️
Freddy was told not to perform due to a throat infection but he did anyway.
Don't laugh through such an amazing song. It's legendary, show respect. ✌
Got to give so much respect to Freddie. Just sat down casually flexed fixing his own mixtures and went straight into the performance without any whining to the roadies or stage management. Just nope not quite, ok that's good.
Besides Elvis Freddy probably most beloved male artist ever!! NO one cared he was gay they embraced him for he was.
Elvis, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury.
1 he was not gay, but bisexual
2 Freddie > Elvis
In Radio GaGa you can't help but to do that clap clap part it was staple on that song! Freddie still catches me ! What more chills when i watch the Live Aid Documentary, as Bob Geldof(organizer of LiveAid) stating: when he receive a telCall from the Ruling Family of Dubai that they will Donate a Massive Amount of Money it was Queen Playing, and you can hear from background when Bob Geldof Receive that call Queen was performing Radio GaGa!
Thanks to Freddie and Queen for this Immortal Performance !👑🤟💛
Live Aid was a fund raiser for famine in Ethiopia and Sudan. This was at Wembley in London. Also a live audience in Philadelphia and a couple of billion on TV.
Do his song The Show Must Go On; knowing he was terminally ill. It is amazing....he was so sick he couldn't stand so he took a shot of vodka and leaned up against something and I believe it to be his best performance EVER!
Of course he knew where the guitar player was - they are an established band
This was one of Queen's BEST performances ever (if not THE best). People have been talking about it for 30 years... It was also one of (if not THE) last live performances... Freddie put his all into it because it was sort of his goodbye to his fans.
The stadium is Wembly Stadium in England. And this was a part of Live Aid - which is where a bunch of different groups/artists performed as a fundraiser for world hunger - specifically in Africa. It was televised globally and people could call in and pledge donations. I believe all of the actual concerts were completely sold out.
Actually, Queen did an extensive tour -- The Magic Tour -- the following year.
I love the way Freddie makes everyone smile.
You sing it!!!!! 🤣❤️..... so awesome 👍!
Damn Freddy is so missed. Freddy and Dr. Brian May (fantastic guitar player) make a beautiful pairing, then add in machine drummer Roger
Taylor and John Deacon rounds out the sound with the Bass. I am glad they are touring again with Adam Lambert but there will never
be another Freddy and everyone knows that, so I give Adam his dues with impossible shoes to fill. Love your channel by the way, and I don't
think you can go wrong with any Queen song. To be there in person in front of Freddy, when he's singing right at you...wow an unexplainable
feeling, honestly. Freddy was a priceless gift! 🤘
That voice. That voice. The whole band is outstanding, the best musicians ever. But that Freddie Mercury's voice!
You had the biggest bands of the time back to back to back. Queen stole the show. It was a concert in and of itself. Never been and never will be a greater showman than Freddie!
Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums & John Deacon on bass. Thank you for all your reactions. Love your channel.
This is a very solid performance! Thanks for reacting to this Van, if you haven't yet I hope you get a chance to see the movie "Queen" its quite good!
Yay! Thank you 🙏 So glad you've taken the time to react to this. Queen we're on point for this performance at Live Aid (it was at the old Wembley stadium in London). Would be great if you did 'One Vision' sometime. I remember taping it off the charts on the radio (pause, play, rec 🤣) and would listen to it on my Walkman on the way to school back in the day. The last line will always amuse me 😂
Freddie was the best ever, the man knew how to put on a show! Kudos to the rest of the LFRmy
Master class crowd control. This is a clinic on frontman greatness on a level reached by maybe a hand full of people ever. Freddie was remarkable. There's a great story oit there about Freddie imposing his will on sid vicious from the sexpistols. Owned him verbally and physically removed him from thr room. Freddie> punk rock
Brian May deserves his own recognition as an amazing guitarist. Also, the way Freddie interacts with the audience on the "Ayo" I always found to be amazing.
That’s Brian May! He’s a genius. Radio Gaga is my all time favorite live performance.
Nice reaction. Do some earlier queen. Stone cold crazy live at the rainbow 74. White queen live at the odeon hammersmith 75. Can't ever go wrong with Queen
White Queen is beautiful,,,,but don’t upload from Eagle Rock (they block)
Epic performance!!!
They all ( singers and groups ) had only 20 min and on Live Aid were not only Queen fans but they ALL sing and clap with Queen.
I have never been able to watch this without crying. Freddie touches my soul every single time I see or hear him. Especially live. RIP Sir.
Just really look at the crowd This was one of their greatest performances and he is known for not having a microphone stand as you see Great reaction Thank you ❤️
We told you so!!!! Brian May lead guitar. John Deacon bass. Roger Taylor drums. They all sing but I think Roger is the most prominent and has the most texture to his voice. All amazingly talented.
Freddie is a legend! He is the best there ever was when it came to performing. He loved what he did and strived to make it better for us. Queen was still is and will always be one of the greatest bands that ever existed. When we lost Freddie we lost an icon.
History in the making...RIP FREDDY
This performance was in Wembley Stadium in London in 1985... it had about 72,000 fans at the Live Aid show. A year later in 1986, Queen HEADLINED 2 nights at Wembley Stadium w/ 72K fans per night! 😲
This was performed in extreme heat and everyone said there wasn't enough water and by the time Queen got on everyone was I won't say bored but locking Energy and Queen came on and killed and brought everybody alive all the band members were going away behind the stage keep in mind this was not a queen crowd the joint last minute they were on the bill to play but at the last minute and Freddie was sick and advise not to sing that day that he did anyway and still killed it
?
This was at Wembley Stadium in London, which had a capacity of 72,000 at the time. It was completely sold out. The other main Live Aid concert was at RFK stadium in Philadelphia, and 100,000 were there for that
Freddie one of best open Mic singer's I've heard
Queen: Freddie Mercury-lead singer, piano, song writer, artist; Dr. Brian May- guitarist, backup singer, songwriter, astrophysicist! John Deacon- bass guitarist, songwriter, electrical engineer (designed Brian’s amp); Roger Taylor- drums, back up singer, songwriter, biologist. These guys were serious musical artists. Try songs: You take my breath away( live 1976 Hyde park) also Save Me, In the Lap of the Gods, Love of my life, Another one bites the dust, Under pressure (live Wembley), Cool Cat, Get down make love, It’s a kind of magic. Thanks!
There will never be another band like Queen, or another front man like Freddie Mercury. Ever
YAY!!! I've been waiting for you to dothis, absolutely the best and Freddie is so great at engaging the crowd
Such a showman with one of the best voices we will ever know. I agree with you about Radio; to me Radio and We are the Champions we’re the two best songs from this performance but the entire set was just iconic.
Wembley Stadium held about 70,000 people. The group is Brian May guitarist, Roger Taylor drummer and John Deacon bass with Freddie Bulsara, lead singer. On the day of Live Aid,, I had 6 friends crammed into my bachelor apt. to watch Live Aid. I had just bought my first decent sized colour tv. Queen blew us away that day, they were amazing.
That first kiss that he blew was to his mother
In the movie Bohemian Rhapsody before they went to the concert ,he promised his mother that he will blow her a kiss on camera if you ever get a chance to watch the film it’s awesome
great video to watch and listen at the same time. I love Freddy so much, a friend of his was told a dentist gave him aids, when he was getting a filling fixed. He was too powerful as a performer and wanted to change the way he did his concerts, so they killed him in plain sight. sad. But friend thanks for this time to share this fantastic man and his band, music so wonderful, he was sick that day a flu. and grew up in Europe that is where he got all his piano magic.love you LFR Family . t.
You are very talented. The very small glimpses you show us are enough to tell.
The BEST rendition of Hammer to Falls, hands down!!! Wembley Stadium and about 80,000 at each stadium location.
You earned a sub my man. I needed this.
Lead Guitar- Brian May. Drums- Roger Taylor. Bass John Deacon
I love waking up to reactions. Your smile is everything & I love how you truly enjoy the music. 🧡
This made me smile so wide. Thank you. 💕
Brian May-guitar, John Deacon-bass, Roger Taylor-drums
One of the best reactions I've watched! Cheers! I'll keep watching you!
It's such a joy to see you embracing this concert! Stay you, stay safe, happy June!
Great reaction to one of the most astonishing moments in popular music history
Finally!!! Thanks for reacting to this bruh 🔥🔥🔥
I love the smile you get while listening. It's exactly how hearing him sing makes me feel.
Freddie had a throat infection he went against Dr's orders to be there he said his throat felt like he was gargling with crushed glass while singing and he still crushed it they are epic
This isn’t necessarily the most easy track but the March of the black queen is a song even more complicated than bohemian rhapsody and is a beautiful layered song that I would say is one of their most underrated. Also ITS LATE is a phenomenal song that I would also say is a slightly deeper cut that could have been a massive hit.
Thanks I'll check that one out..
The way you look at the screen, nothing but love
There is a simple reason why people call him the "greatest front man of any band in music history". That simple reason is, he was.
Looking forward to your part 2 reaction. Watched Live Aid live on TV when I was 19. Many moons ago. Queen was my favorite band there at that event.
My boys!! Freddie Mercury, Brian May lead guitar, John Decon Bass and Roger Taylor Drums. I have loved Queen for over 40+ years. They were and still are the most unique band ever. No song was ever the same. This was the most legendary performance and no pledges were coming in until this band took the stage. Lol 1 million in under a minute. I could go on but we'd be here all day. Plus who can top that voice and crowd control? No one. I could talk about Freddie and the guys all day 😁 that kiss he blew was to his mom. Freddie said it best, " I won't be a rock star, I'll be a legend " and that you are ❤
So glad I got to see these guys play live.
