    It is very smart to put these 2 performances up side by side. In ‘86 at Wembley in England you expect the crowd to know this song. In ‘85 in Rio, where English is not their first or primary language, they knew every word. Plus, remember, this was NOT the age of the internet, that wouldn’t come for at least 7 more years and then only to universities and to government. I remember sending my first email in 1993, and it was only to people IN MY WORK building, we didn’t get into networking to the outside for about 3 to 5 more years. The internet as you see it today, or even a version of it, did not exist in 1985. So the people of Rio had to get their hands on this music in the form of a record or a cassette OR be exposed to it in some way on television. I think that is what is so striking about it, they knew every word, and it really drove home the fact that Queen was big on the International stage. Even the USA started appreciating them more after Live Aid. 💗

    Freddie said he had a lump in his throat when the crowd took over in the beginning. His fans loved him to the end, and long after.

    If you want to hear Freddie singing it all the way through, Montreal 1981. In Rio, I think Freddie and Brian were taken by surprise by the crowd singing it; it was the very first Rock in Rio, a huge huge audience (a couple hundred thousand I believe), and not an English speaking crowd. Freddie looks like he had a very emotional reaction to the love shown by the crowd.

    Keep in mind, the crowd at Rio was not an English speaking audience, most spoke Portuguese as a native language, yet they had memorized the lyrics of this song and Brian's name to chant. If you're new to Queen, check out their performance at Live Aid 1985. You won't be disappointed.

    RIO: The Works Tour in 1984/1985 was one of Queen's largest tours and included the Brazil Rock in Rio festival-in which they appeared on stage at two o'clock in the morning in front of 470,000 people during the first night and 250,000 on the second night. The Boston Globe described it as a "mesmerising performance".

    I think the average person may not fully understand the significance of the technical difficulty and skill required of one who plays a 12 string, but I do think the average person can easily find the beauty of a 12 string guitar and emotionally and musically recognize "something" extraordinary about it, especially when played with the kind of sensitivity and beauty Brian did in this performance of an already tender and sweet song as "Love of My Life." Brian's performance is stunning. I could listen to just him playing that guitar in this song all day long.

    You get a “thatta boy” for doing both versions of Love Of My Life 💗 Freddie wrote it about his former fiancé & life-long friend, Mary Austin. IMO - I believe Freddie wrote the lyrics from Mary’s perspective!! That’s the only way the lyrics make sense to me. Anyway, this song touches all the fans .. as you can see!!💞

    I’ve missed you! I haven’t seen you nor have I been able to find any of your previous Queen reactions. Hope all is ok, but I’m glad you’re back. Freddie had such charisma he could have asked the audience to walk over hot coals and they would have. I love the crowd chanting Brian’s name in the Rio version. This was a music festival and there were over 200,000 people who couldn’t speak English but the knew all the words. What must that have felt like for Freddie? It must be the ultimate accolade. Loved seeing both those versions in one reaction, thanks

    Great reaction, thanks! Nice to see you compare the two. The Rio one blows me away because of the size of the crowd and because they sang it in English. I can't speak or sing in another language so that is impressive to me. It seems to take a while for you to pop up in my feed but know that I do love your reactions and will try to keep an eye out. Have you seen the Green Day crowd that spontaneously started singing Bohemian Rhapsody in 2017 in Hyde park? Truly amazing. It was before the concert started. They even sang the background vocals and guitar solos. You should check that out if you haven't seen it.

      And since it's so short, I'd say do the official lyric video and then the live version. Live version doesn't have as much guitar (although it's very very fast) and it's hard to make out the words. But it's got energy galore.

    It was one of a few songs that always remained a staple of live shows. Always different, yet all fabulous. The Rio performance is crazy good wrt to the audience, all 250,000+ of them.
    If on your own you want to hear pure Freddie & Brian try Montreal or late 70s versions.

    @MisterSandmanAU Před 2 lety +1

    I think you should listen to some of the earlier shows, like Houston '77, Milton Keynes '82, Tokyo '85, Earls' Court '77, San Diego '80 (audio only but it's great quality), Hammersmith 1979, maybe even some of the South American shows like Sao Paulo '81, Caracas '81 or Buenos Aires '81. If you're looking for Freddie in a rougher state I'd recommend checking out the circulating Tokyo 1979 footage. Freddie's in very bad shape there (partially a cold, partially nodules, partially exhaustion) but the band still pulls through relatively well (minus a couple of flubs from Brian).
    Good reactions, I like your content.
