Not all audiences are Queen Fans. The tickets were already sold when they found out that the Queen was performing. The doctor did not allow Freddie to perform but he did not follow it. He is very professional. They prepared for that occasion so they could give a good performance and make the most of the 20 mins allocation given to each band. Queen stole the show. Freddie is the greatest frontman of all time. I hope you can react to "somebody to Love" at Milton Keynes. Thank you for your great reaction. More Queen please!
I've never heard this bollocks about Freddie not being "allowed" to perform. Not sure that's true.
The doctor advised him not to perform because he had a throat infection, he didnt get ordered not to perform.@@ktwashere5637
@@ktwashere5637 doctor advised Freddie not to perform because of laryngitis and a threat of damaging his vocal cords but Freddie performed anyway. He said afterwards that he felt singing those 20 minutes was like gargling pieces of glass ...
Can you believe he sounded this good with laryngitis.
Someone else commented about this, was so surprised to hear it!
He's unreal
@@MoreMeetArthurFreddie said afterwards that singing that day felt like gargling pieces of glass ... 😮😢
Oh my gosh, you are so cheating yourselves. You absolutely have to watch this performance from start to finish it is so well put together. It is only 21 minutes long and so worth seeing in its original form. Elton John performed at this show and called Freddie a ba*tard for stealing the show. Bowie was the act that followed Queen at Wembley but I don't know who was the act immediately behind them in Philly. Bowie did great and kept the flow going. If yo do the whole concert make sure you get the one that starts with the comedians who are dressed as English Bobbies. Some of the other videos of this set cut off which is annoying. This is not my favorite song as are not some other of the Queen anthems but live they all are perfect.
Oh go on then, you pulled our arm!
Guess we'll react to the whole thing 😂
The Greatest Frontman Ever!!!❤❤❤
The greatest frontman ever, indeed!!
Freddie was born a rock god. Greatest frontman in rock history. Nobody can even come close to Freddie's greatness.
He really was unbelievable.
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. YOUR MUSIC IS TIMELESS
He is the epitome of Rock!
Too top it off as well he was self taught. Apart from a limited time in his school choir he had no formal vocal training.
No ear mics...no clicks and no autotune. Just great musicians and songwriters and singers.. They stood out, because Queen always practiced!! Bob Geldof said that Queen understood what he wanted! Don't just sing your newest hit....and Queen gave a full 17 minutes of all music...non stop...a mini concert. Others just sung around 3 songs. Its not to say others were not good. They were. But Queen’s performance outshone everyone because they performed from start to finishe, 6 songs. Queen were used to doing medleys too...well known in their concerts. And, they had huge stadiums down to a fine art, and Freddie utilised every single part of their huge stages! Running around everywhere. So he utilized the Live Aids stage to the Max!
They could come out singing anything and they still would of stolen the show because they are the greatest live band ever.
In 82 Dec. I sat front row for Queen in Dallas, 7 months pregnant. I was covering the show for the station I was on. After the show, Freddie touched my belly and said “Freddie works for boys or girls name”
Wow that's awesome.❤
It wasn't a Queen audience. All of the 72,0000 tickets were sold before Queen was announced as part of venue.
Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the star.
“Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said David Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time because they could connect with an audience.”
Right… They mentioned that it wasn’t a Queen audience, and that this fact made it so remarkable that everyone was clapping along during the song as Freddie instructed.😎
…I’ve also read from folks who were in the live audience over in Philadelphia, that the whole crowd there were ALSO following all of Freddie’s instructions as they watched the live simulcast during Queen’s entire set!
Sheesh chills everywhere
David Bowie, who was next, just said 'How the fuck do I follow that'! That comment showed just how marvellous they were. Btw, scientists have proved just how unique Freddie's voice was.❤
He's right, how the heck do you follow that!!!
Right, Paul? I also heard that Freddie visited David backstage.. and it was very hot, so there were fans going.. and Freddie asked David: "Oh, is that the only fan you've got??".. lol
@@MoreMeetArthur David was actually excellent. If you haven't seen it, watch his set at Live Aid as well. I would say he was second best of the night.
@@GinMaethat's not true. Freddie and David were friends. They talked afterwards but Freddie didn't say anything what you wrote.
Try Somebody to Love live in Montreal, mind blowing
Will add it to the list! Thank you
Freddie cannot be beat!!!!!!
It's out!!! - czcams.com/video/nhpx5xHGLO4/video.htmlsi=eJOvZAbWUrhufRBn
You should watch the part when he's doing voice exercises with the crowd. He had them in the palm of his hand. I remember watching it on TV it was unbelievable!
One of the most iconic moments in rock and roll history that!
1.8 billion watched world wide and 80K people in Wembley Stadium. Best live band performance in history and it hasnt diminished over the years. God Bless Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. I love them all.
He sang against Dr's orders, as you would when you have laryngitis! Bless him... & the rest of the band ❤❤❤❤
He made the right call, created a moment in history!
They never wore ear pieces they preferred to use looking for cues from each other and regular rehearsals xx
In ears monitors were not available in 1985 just wedges for monitors.
Their poor ears!
You need to watch their entire live aid set. Thi is just one song from it.
Absolutely!
You guy's need to watch the whole concert start to finish amazing.
Thank you for giving John his due. He usually gets unnoticed. I’m enjoying you guys a lot
I agree, hopefully everyone will realise how great he is soon!
❤ Thankyou for reacting to Queen. RIP Freddie
I saw them in Melbourne Australia not long before this concert. It was the most amazing musical experience of my life, and I’ve seen some great bands. He worked the crowd like the true showman he was, and we all floated out of there feeling so good and with our ears ringing from the volume. Best concert ever!!!! Miss him so much, the charisma just oozed out of him and we could all feel it in the crowd, what an amazing man.
Will forever be jealous of anyone who got to experience Freddie in person 🥲
Love hearing your reactions guys . Freddie was the best front man ever and no one could ever come close to him . RIP my beautiful Freddie ❤️❤️ I love John , Brian and Roger ❤️❤️
It's truly incredible how freddie interacted with his fans. They thrived on interacting with freddie and freddie thrived on their interaction. Freddie would never let his fans down and his fans would never let him down.
It really was something to behold. It was jaw dropping and hypnotic
FREDDIE WAS ONE OF A KIND AND WILL NEVER BE DUPLICATED.
QUEEN TRUELEY WAS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
White Queen Live at the Odeon 1975 would be great to see a reaction to. It's AMAZING!!
The people have spoken, we gotta make it happen!
Thanks for your Queen reaction, loved! And, yes, more Queen. ... please!!! ❤
Thank you! Will do!
The ‘86 Wembley concert is worth watching. An amazing 2 hours. I have watched it multiple times and wish I’d been able to be there!
Will definitely check it out!
Time to make a 2 hour reaction video? 👀
The whole point of a live concert is it's a joint artist/audience experience and this show epitomises that. I saw them five times and each show was an adrenalin rush.
Would love to see you do their whole live aid set.
Queen II cannot be beat!
They definitely can't!
You made me cry! I miss Freddie.
❤️❤️ sorry
@@MoreMeetArthur 🥰 Aww, it’s okay…I took my eldest son (37) to his first Queen concert recently in Boston. It was my 17th and first without Freddie. I cried there too! His favorite album, Sheer Heart attack. Lol. Brighton Rock is a fave. xx
Outstanding you're right the best frontman ever thanks❤
You have to remember that this was the 80s during the time of MTV when all teenagers would have watched religiously. YOu didn't have to be a Queen fan to know the music video and that people clap along with the chorus. That clapping along bit is in the music video itself.
The night my daughter was born queen was playing at Cardiff castle. The nurses opened the windows so the first of my four kids was brought into the world over 40 years ago to Queen
He sang this show with a severe sire throat. His doctor urged him not to perform , but if you know Freddie- the show must go on !
Unbelievable!! Thank you for putting this out there!
I love their first 2 albums.
They are both fantastic
The entire concert was broadcast around the world… millions were watching
Thank you for reacting to one of the greatest bands in the world; Queen. Freddie, Roger, Brian and John are the only band members. Anyone else who sings with Roger and Brian is considered tribute shows. Queen’s Frontman was/is and forever will be FREDDIE MERCURY.
Yes, definitely do react to Queen’s Live Aid whole 21min show, plus the last song: Is this the world we created. Also, Live at Rainbow 1974, Hammersmith 1975 & 1979, Hyde Park 1976, Montreal 1981.. Really too many great shows to mention. Looking forward to the next Queen reaction. 🙌 🧡🧡🔥🎹🎶
72K in UK and around 85K in US and billions and billions around the world. I watched it live on the TV in Long Beach, California. Queen sang in front of something like 250,000 people in Rio and they all sang to Freddie, his song Love of My Life. You've got to watch it. They sang it in English.
Thank you, that was a brilliant reaction....and double thanks for the special mention about John Deacon...a lot of the time he is overlooked....the absolute Ace of Bass...and I always say, Hi John, we hope you’re keeping well🌺
Thank you for watching!
John Deacon has been a massive influence on my bass playing (Dan) my first bass is just like his!
Massive fan here
Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 72,000 people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 89,484 people. one-third of the global population tuning into a TV broadcast at the same time. That's what happened on July 13, 1985, when 1.9 billion people watched musicians perform in London and Philadelphia to raise money for famine-stricken Ethiopians.
Loved your reaction to my favorite band of all time! Queen was truly amazing that day in 1985. Please react to Stone Cold Crazy and In the Lap of the Gods, live at the Rainbow 1974! Thanks for reacting to Queen!
Depending on where you get the number, the total audience globally was 1.5 or 1.9 BILLION.
Crazy numbers! Wonder if we’ll every see something this historical again!
And Freddie just OWNED that stage!!! ❤
Er ist der Beste.❤❤❤❤❤❤
72,000 at Wembley, 89,000 people watched Live Aid in Philadelphia on July 13, 1985 at John F. Kennedy Stadium. The concert was one of the biggest satellite link-ups of all time, with 1.9 BILLION (not millions) people watching the live broadcast in 150 countries. Phil Collins played both concerts thanks to the Concord jet. Over 70 artists and bands performed at the 1985 Live Aid Philadelphia concert, which took place on July 13, 1985. Some of the artists who performed at the Philadelphia concert include:
Joan Baez
The Hooters
Four Tops
Billy Ocean
Black Sabbath
Run - D.M.C.
Rick Springfield
REO Speedwagon
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Night at the opera 👌
I was there
Unbelievably jealous
@@MoreMeetArthur You need to watch the whole set.
I highly recommend you to react to 'somebody to love'
live Montréal by Queen
Couple people have requested this! Will defo get this filmed soon!
That was an amazing performance!!!! Freddie in full voice and Roger's high counterpoint. Such a tight performance from four fabulous musicians totally at their height and in the zone.
We did it! - czcams.com/video/nhpx5xHGLO4/video.htmlsi=eJOvZAbWUrhufRBn
72,000 at Wembley, 90,000 at Philadelphia, and 1.5 BILLION at home on their TVs (including me)
Everyone felt sorry for David Bowie who had to follow them on stage...
Subscribing for more Queen! 👑
More Queen in the way! Really appreciate it!
YES!! MORE QUEEN (You can never have too much of the master Freddie)! He's fronting a master band in Heaven, surely!
Try White Queen 1975 Hammersmith Odeon.... and of course anything from Montreal 1981 or Wembley 1986 for live performances.... Breakthru, Headlong or Innuendo for videos. You can never go wrong with Queen!
We've had loads of comments for Montreal 81 and 75 odeon, we will have to do them now!
I was at Live Aid (not a Queen fan) and I was clapping like a good un. I was also at Wembley in 86 but I didn’t clap because I was in the stand and elevated - I was looking at the crowd with my mouth open.
Loved it great pick
It was 70 thousand people
A lot of people!
Thanks, guys.. (btw, Freddie would probably tell some random fan that he DID remember them.. b/c in his way, he would have... ) appreciate your reactions...
I loved your reactiopns and subscribed. I encourage you to go back to visit some early live Queen, For instance Live at the Rainbow 1974, Or a Night at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975. If you've only been exposed to their 80's stuff, you'll be surprised. They were great right from the get-go.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate you subscribing and the suggestions 😃
Queen is the greatest band ever, Enjoy your reaction, please?React to killer Queen or white Queen queen, thank you so much.
Freddie forever❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤
These have been requested loads!
Will have to look
Brilliant reaction !!
Thank you!!
Okay I've watched 2 of your reactions now and you are so fun to watch I've gotta subscribe and see where you go next! My suggestions are One Vision and Tie your Mother Down live at Wembley 86 👑 forever
a interesting group with a great live show worth checking out is Heilung i would suggest their song Krigsgaldr live at castlefest 2017.
Interesting, shall have a look!
72,000 at wembly
You need to do Dead on time from the Jazz album.
I see many people are adding Somebody to Love from Montreal. The performance at Milton Keynes blows it away for me.
Watch One Vision (extended).
Reporter: "what's your favorite instrument?"
Freddie: "The audience, darling."
Considered the best 20 minutes of live video ever recorded.
Will defo check this out!! Really appreciate the suggestion!
Try Black Mtv unplugged will not regret for sure
HI GUYS!
I’m sure a LOT of folks will be asking you to react to Queen’s ENTIRE 20-minute Live Aid set all-in-one-piece (which - YES! You should!)
However…
IMPORTANT NOTE re the Live Aid videos:
FYI, there are SEVERAL great-quality copies of Queen’s Live Aid video posted on various YT channels (some are remastered/UPGRADED video quality)…
…Unfortunately, tho, the last couple of years there’s been a “corrupted” video on YT also that has part of the last song CHOPPED OUT.
AND… recently, another different “corrupted” video’s been posted, with part of a different song CUT OUT. What’s even WORSE about the most recent one, is that they’ve blatantly STOLEN the video from this channel: Mundo do Rock.
How to tell the difference:
The REAL Mundo do Rock vid has ONE logo in the upper corner. The FAKE/STOLEN version has TWO Mundo do Rock logos: The larger one in the upper corner/another tiny duplicate in the bottom corner.
…Which makes it quite EASY to avoid that one, but there’s still the first “corrupted” vid floating around.
EASIEST way to “play it safe” when picking a copy of the video:
Pick one that STARTS W TWO “COPS” introducing the band…
OR, just get a LINK from one of your Queen fan viewers.🖖
Thank you so much for giving us this information!
If you wanted to share a link, we'd be very grateful!
I am happy to hear reactors who mention the whole band. Roger and Brian are still touring - now with Adam Lambert as frontman. He is not Freddie and does not try to - has his. own style - but he Can sing the songs - try to find “Who wants to live forever” 2016 it will blow your
minds - it was the day after a mass shooting in Orlando - and is dedicated to the victims. The Music lives on . ❤️🎼🎶😉
Of course! We're fans of the whole band and the musicians themselves 😃
Adam lambert is doing incredible, well definitely check out that version!
Thank you for suggesting
Freddy was number one for sure, there will never be anyone like him again. For a very different but equally powerful audience interaction you should watch Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Stagger Lee live at Glastonbury in 2013, I can guarantee you have never seen or heard anything quite like it, parental advisory warning though
That is so strange you suggested this haha! A friend of mine showed me that exact performance about a week ago for the first time! Might have to do a reaction to it as it was a VERY good performance!
Why not react to the entire set?
It's coming!
Great reaction. But come on, you gotta react to the whole 22 minute performance.
Funny you say that 👀 new video coming soon
Robert Plant wasn't too bad either ...... :)
Definitely one of the greats
I saw it live on TV . Yes, they certainly stole the show, but people who grew up with the band in the 70s will say that Rainbow 1974, Hammersmith 1975 Earl's Court 1977 are better. Freddie was younger and had a clearer voice and they played better songs. No Queen fan actually likes Radio Ga Ga
In 1984 Queen played 3 shows in Sun City breaking the UN cultural boycott of apartheid South Africa. Great performance but what bloody hypocrites.
They were misinformed, they were told it was a mixed audience, they weren't the only band or artist. Elton John and rod Stewart also played there.
