    Freddie had laryngitis the week before this concert and was advised by his doctor to cancel his appearance. He ignored the advice an went on to make rock history. He had far too much class to destroy his guitar, he didn't need to do things like that to keep his audience happy - he entertained with talent, not gimmicks.

    You must keep in mind that the crowd (Live Aid) even didn't know they were coming, because Queen were added to the list when all the tickets were sold out. THIS WAS NOT A QUEEN CROWD BUT STILL THEY STOLE THE SHOW.
    Freddie commanded the crowd at 2 stadiums simultaneously(Wembley and Philadelphia) and HAD THEM IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. Queen's performance at Live Aid is voted MOST ICONIC festiwal moment in music history.

      That is not true. Watch the documentary "Against All Odds," about Live Aid, and you will see that when Geldof announced which bands would be performing -- BEFORE the tickets went on sale -- he included Queen in that list of bands. It was not a Queen audience in the sense that it was not simply a Queen concert and people would have been buying tickets to see other bands on the bill, and/or because it was such a huge event.

    Queen members : Freddie Mercury- lead singer, composer, writer, art degree; Dr. Brian May guitarist who built his guitar, wrote songs,also an astrophysicist; Bassist John Deacon who also wrote songs and has an electrical engineering degree; Drummer is Roger Taylor a song writer with an incredible voice and backed Freddie’s vocals, wrote songs and has a dental degree. These guys were professional musicians who took their job seriously. They made such eclectic music that they are legends since there is something for everyone in their song catalog. Each member wrote a number 1 hit - only band to do so. Try Queen live 1976 Hyde park the song You Take My Breath Away.

    The guitarist is PhD Brian May (no honorary doctorate, he is an astrophysicist and wrote his doctoral thesis there) He built his guitar, the "Red Special", together with his father at the age of 17, using wood from an old fireplace, parts of a moped and a butter knife. He is also an excellent singer with his own songs and has written a lot of Queen's songs as well as the other band members. All 4 have had number one hits.
    If you look closely you can see that Brian uses 3 different guitars in the song Crazy Little Things Called Love.

      There's an interesting vid titled "Queen Guitarist Brian May talks about building the Red Special guitar." He doesn't say anything about a moped or butter knife, but does say; It was built without power tools. The back is from an old table, the neck from a then 100 year old fireplace, dot markers are from his mother's button box & he also used 1 of her old, large knitting needles.

      @@kendallneason3645 Some extra on the Deacy Amp. At 20, John got his 1st class degree in electronics at Chelsea College, London. 1972, he built the amp, which included parts he found in a dumpster. Brian loved the amp & heavily used it from the 70s-90s. It never failed, nor needed repair. In 1998, Brian agreed to having a replica made & it was opened for the 1st time, but multiple experts couldn’t figure out how it worked. Early 2000s, they even posted pics on the net, hoping another expert could help. Finally, in 2008, Brian gave permission to completely tear it down, after which they were able to build a “close enough” replica to call it a Deacy Amp (I don’t think they ever got it exact). Pretty impressive work, for something built 36 years earlier, by a 21 year old. There are some interesting (though sometime, very technical), articles about it, on the net.

    Listening to a Queen song and recognizing it is normal. Queen's music is used in Movies, TV shows, Adverts (commercials), and at sporting events.
    "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was written by Freddie as an homage to Elvis Presley shortly after his death.
    "We Will Rock You" was written by Brian May as a song intended for crowd participation.
    "We are the Champions" was written by Freddie.
    the other song you will possibly recognize is "Another One Bites The Dust" written by John Deacon (Queen's biggest selling single)

    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 35 years of active service, and over 3 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 2 year's ago, 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.

Such a LONNG time ago but Freddie was sensationally superb, also lead guitarist, Brian May, John Deacon, bass guitarist & the amazing drummer, Roger Taylor!! 💝💝💝💝💝

    Queen never disappoints, there's something for everyone because their music spans every genre. They were innovative and influential, ahead of their time and timeless all rolled into one. Check out Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow and you'll see how they influenced speed metal and rap music all in one short song. Another really great song that shows his incredible crowd interaction is Under Pressure live at Wembley 86. Enjoy your journey into Queen.

    "They got some hits!" - they really did. This was them cramming huge songs from a decade of awesome hits, between 1975 and 1984, into a single 20minute set to prove that they really were the champions. They rehearsed the show to perfection and stole the show completely.
    They were also incredible in the studio, pushing the technology of the 70s to the absolute limit to create some of their hits. Also, their albums at the start of their career all said "No synthesisers" to prove they were live instruments.

    Great music transcends time.. Queen is timeless.. I’m so very blessed to have been born in early 70’s and lived thru all this great music.. I am happy people like yourself are seeking it out, enjoying it and keeping it alive:)

    And note Freddie was sick that day, he had a sore throat and his doctor advised him not to perform. Freddie later said singing felt like gargling with a glass.
    And the audience wasn't pure Queen fans, Queen was only announced as an act when all the tickets were already sold.

    Queen was the best part of my childhood music. We grew up in the best era the 70’s through the 80’s. if Freddie Mercury was still alive they’d still be pumping out the hits.

    Don’t apologize for not knowing that some of the songs are theirs. Just keep their music alive with your generation. Freddie died of AIDS in 1991. I still listen to them everyday. Listen to their first 2+albums before they were famous.

    One unique and amazing thing about Freddie is HOW MUCH he loved his fans. He had so much love for the people. And lord knows the feeling was mutual.
    Freddie is the ONLY ARTIST who can get a crowd going decades after he left this earth. Check out the GreenDay concert where they played Rhapsody over the speakers while the crowd was waiting for the band. It’ll make you cry.

    Freddie was asked what his favorite instrument to play was. His answer….the audience!🤣🤣🤣 I love watching the younger generations when they realize that we will rock you and we are the champions are queen. Bohemian rhapsody is the movie your looking for if you haven’t seen it yet. Great reaction my man!!! Great reaction! Oh, I forgot to mention that long “aaaahhhhhooooo!” Is known as the note heard around the world.

    When they came out with A Night At The Opera in 1975, we were blown away. I also remember one day it was announced he was ill and next day Freddie was gone. That was in 1991. I tried to watch the movie they did of Bohemian Rhapsody but almost immediately turned off as I saw it was Hollyweird’s version. RIP Freddie

  • @nanaking9560

    Doug, I was in that crowd ,6 rows back from the stage. I can see my 32 year old self, just behind the girl on the guys shoulders. I've been to loads of live concerts over the years, but this was definitely the best I ever saw. Still gives me goosebumps when I watch it.

    Love your reaction.
    I get so excited and laugh very hard when these kids get to the final two songs of the LIFE AID CONCERT and realize that they know those songs.
    Their faces, when finally realize that the band they were hearing in the video is the band that created maybe the most famous anthems of the modern world - We Will Rock You and We Are the Champion-
    I see their young faces lit in disbelief because finally, they can put faces and names two those songs.
    And are mesmerized by the discovery. I enjoy that moment so much.
    Yes. Queen is the legend.

  • @Dugwal24

    Queen has several greatest hits albums which are must own. One of the greatest bands of all time! What you probably didn’t know Doug is that this was live cast to a 2nd stadium in New York at the same time for Live Aid. Awesome, AWESOME set. The 20 minutes that changed rock and roll!!!! 😎👏

    I was feeling a little down today, so I do the thing that always cheers me up-watch young folks watch Queen at Live Aid. It’s always a wonderful thing to see the next generation discover Queen and why this particular set was so magical. I was not disappointed! Rip Freddie darling. Your absence is noticeable.

  • @marianclough8577

    I never went to a Queen concert but did see the Beatles in their 1st Hollywood Bowl concert and also a few years later, Elton John at the Hollywood Bowl. Also have seen Bob Dylan several times, Rod Stewart in concert, Gordon Lightfoot, Joanie Mitchell and a lot of others over the years. I'd give all up to have seen Queen in just one concert. I did watch Live Aid on TV that day. It was live in the UK and also in the US. Also, be sure to watch not only their official songs but also concerts. Queen in the 70s was amazing. Great songs.

    Watched this in a documentary where it was said that Queen rehearsed (a lot) before their gig on Live Aid while some other acts more or less winged it. After seeing their performance, one of the other bands member simply said something like "When we saw that, we said to ourselves, we should have rehearsed too".

    Queen - best rock band ever. Freddie Mercury - best vocalist and best entertainer .... ever. RIP dear Freddy. You will always be remembered. Welcome to the wonderful world of the band Queen. All 4 were master muscians and all 4 were amazing songwriters and each wrote a #1 hit song. Freddy Mercury - lead vocalist and master showman, Brian May - lead guitar, John Deacon - bass and Roger Taylor - drums. It will take you a very long time to work your way through their 20 years of music. Just remember - they are always best when you watch them live. Best concerts ever !!!!

  • @hertelantje

    This is their song? 😯
    Yep, and the next one too.🙂
    No worries, it seem that many young Americans know this song from sport events and don’t know it’s from Queen.
    That’s why you’re doing this, right? To discover great music and learn something new. I myself discovered great songs, singers and musicians on CZcams and reaction channels.
    A movie covering Queen ( with artistic license) is Bohemian Rhapsody. Some people didn’t like it, and I read there are other movies/ docus made about them, but I think it’s worth watching.
    Like your reaction. Cheers!

    Not only a singer, he was an accomplished pianist too. Not well known for his guitar work, but he could play rhythm chords.

  • @GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames

    I went to this one. Granted I was in Philadelphia watching the other half of the show lives, but I witnessed this one the jumbotron. That bit where Freddie got the crowd to clap in time with the song, we did that too on the other side of the ocean. That's how charismatic Freddie Mercury.
