They weren't applauding themselves. Us Brits don't do that. They were applauding the song and Freddie's memory.
"We", not "us".
@@dibaperfect where u from…?
Must be southern as us brits up north wouldn’t say “We”
"Us Brits" lmao shut up
@@biffabacon6019 kinda say both lad ngl
Only man in history who can control a crowd 30 years after his death. RIP Freddie
yes! You put it much better than i did.
Well, him and Jesus! One was sent from heaven for all mankind, and the other one was called Jesus.
Yes so true!
@@DukeOfChirk Fucking hell this made me audibly, genuinely laugh out loud.
The star than burns twice as bright goes out in half the time. RIP Freddie, genius.
This song is practically in our blood, and nobody owns the stage like Freddie did.
I feel like Robbie Williams would be up to par, if he's not there, he's pretty close
@@guifire9747I want whatever you're smoking.
@@hallson3437 I don't ^^ But Robbie have a great stage presence and share that weird natural charisma Freddie had (and of course, his vocals are great), his live performances are still great nowadays, and in his prime they were legendary (tho you have every right to disagree, but if you didn't already, check some of his Knebworth performances, if anything you'll have a good time)
Not applauding themselves just applauding the greatness that is Queen
You do not play Queen to a British crowd if you do not want us to simultaneously sing every word to it!!!!
It would be a great way to stop a civil war, both sides would stop fighting instantly.
100%
not just the british 😉
It works in any place in the world
you put up that song anywhere in the world...everybody will start singing
It's really about Freddie, a National Treasure and genius. No matter your age we all miss him and love him. BR is the greatest anthem pop song ever.
Proof that you can truly go on after death
Yesss!
Also invented the modern pop music video and to date has spent the most time at no 1 in the UK. Freddie remains the best rock vocalist of all time.
Slightly agree but Queen as a whole are feckin awesome.
@@PeterJPickles
"Don't Stop me now" is the most upbeat, not just tune but anything, in Human history.
Fun fact, you could hear the crowd over 1 mile away 👍
I was in London that day, what a day.
RIP Freddie, gone but never ever forgotten ❤️
Cool memory
Over a mile away, that is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing that.
Wow ❤️
Just shows how legendary Queen is, that really is insane though
I remember this day. I live in a open block apartment, near Regent’s Park (1.9 miles away) and we could hear this so clear as we are pretty high up and it’s a clear line to Hyde park. We was all out of our homes and singing along. It was brilliant. Long live Freddie 💙
I was at this concert!!!! i was here that day and It was the greatest day of my entire life and I remember when this come on. My dad and I put our arms around each other and random people we never met. We had our hands around other peoples shoulders and were swaying together and I loved it so much, it was the greatest day of my life. We all sang together and were cheering for Freddie although he wasnt there.
I've done the stevie wonder one, Lionel Richie, Florence and the machine, elton john. At times proud to be living in the country
Same! Was Awesome!!
I was in a London pub once when an elderly woman tottered up to the piano and started playing it. Right away everyone in the pub started singing along with the song. Then individuals started getting up to take their turns singing alone. Some of the songs they sang were hilarious cockney tunes, or funny British war songs, and the audience joined in to sing the verses. It was hilarious and heart warming, and it's one of my best travel memories.
Ah yes a good old ping pong round the old Joanna.
I had the same sort of experience in a pub in the scottish highlands, random karaoke night and a guy comes in with a newspaper rolled up in his back pocket and everyone cheers, he gets on the mic and gives the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, including wlaking out the door while singing "just gotta get right out of here" all of this while a random dude was doing a crazy Jig, at the end of the song he yelled, and I quote "Not bad for an old cunt eh?" fucking awesome random night!
We had a very similar experience after a football match in the west Midlands. It was a bit tense after the match but we ended up in a pub with some of th locals. Somebody started playing a Beatles song on a piano and it turned into a brilliant sing along with two rival sets of fans mostly in their early 20s in a empty pub at 6 pm! 🙂
Where are you from?
@@westham5047 who was that aimed at?
I'm 36 from the UK. This song isn't played on the radio much due it's legnth.I never owned it, nor did my parents. I grew up in a world before CZcams and music downloads yet I have always known every word.
I feel this is a shared experience for most British people.
Depends what radio station lol
Yeah me too... I'm not sure how I know all the words tbh. It is a great song though. Bet it was fun being in that crowd.
I'd never really thought of it like that. But you're right, it's a shared experience. 52 here and born way before youtube. But again I know every word.
Yep same!
I am in the US and I have known the lyrics since I was 15...in 1975....the song is genius.
A lot of non UK bands are left shell shocked by the reaction of UK crowds. We don’t go to gigs to stand there like lemmings…we go to have a good time. If the band forget the words - not a problem, we’ll sing it for you 🤷🏼♀️🙂😂😂
thisss😂👏
Truthhh 🙌
Every concert I've ever been to... it's the same all around the UK. We will support the artists and show love by singing every lyric together.
I've heard the theory that we're all used to singing hymns at school that we just 'go along with it' when we can..
I've been in a few big ones at festivals .. even sung the right words at some points...
Oh come all ye faithful! Genius x we just love a singalong
I was working one of the bars for this. Its one of the greatest moments I've ever experienced. People stopped buying drinks, customers and bar staff alike just stopped and sung the entiiire song. It was so beautiful.
Hi Sam, thanks for sharing that memory. BR has become part of British culture, as evidenced by the Live Aid reaction to Queen. That wasn't a Queen audience, but they all knew the songs, verbatim! That's how deep Queen's music has infected we British, their songs transcend time.
BR 'shouldn't' be remembered word for word by modern listeners, but 42 years after its initial release, this complicated song is remembered and loved by thousands at a Green Day concert! I wonder what will be remembered 50 years from now. I have a a feeling that children yet unborn will discover Queen and infect their grandchildren with their love of Queen's timeless music.
But I could of course be biased, I was born in 1956 :-)
That's so cringe
I was there too, and it really was one of those truly great moments in life.
@@joemacc7388 don't be a fun sponge
@@misspollysdolly lol yeah OK I take it back!
We didn't applaud ourselves, we applauded the folk next to us for their fantastic rendition of bohemian rhapsody.
Everyone doing it just shows how beautiful and humble we are 😁
❤❤
They're applauding Freddie.
@@CooroSnowFox Oh really?
And here I was being 'completely' literal,
I'm 'so' glad you corrected my glaring mistake!
Now now ladies…. Do I need to slappy 😂
@@RighAlban you are correct. The crowd applauded the crowd. Appreciation for a job well done.
The words to BoRap are in our DNA. This is Freddie playing his favourite instrument - his audience. Even at someone else’s gig and years after his death.
Continue to sleep well Freddie.🥰
You are so right. I was born the year before BoRap was and i dont remember it from then, but when I was about 11 or so I was taping off the christmas top 40 from the radio, and this was number one. My parents had been betting on it for ages and when it was declared and started playing, they both burst out in full song!
It was epic haha! I remember reaaally wanting to sing along but I didn't know the words haha! But I had it on tape and it's been in my life ever since, in one form or another (even mini disk for all of 5 minutes) And I so wanted to sing along with this clip but i wanted more to hear all of them. What a guy.
Sleep well???? Can you imagine the gig they're having up there? Freddie, Lennon, Hendrix, Bowie...
@@rde4017 you are so right. That is a great gig going on!😎🥂
Can confirm. I'm 17 and actually have no recollection of ever learning the lyrics, but I know the whole song word for word
@@tammysquire6992 I remember waiting for the ‘Top 40 ‘ to come on every Sunday evening and the number 1 being announced. The amount of weeks this was number one. My late brother and I in total awe that it was number 1 for another week, then singing along to it.
And that's what happens when you play Queen at any venue in the UK! 💜
This makes me proud to be British..Love this video! 🇬🇧
Green day were taking a break and this was played as interim music
I think this is the best reaction to this I've see. This is why we Brits are always surprised when someone says they've never heard Bohemian Rhapsody. It's part of the national conscience here.
From football stadiums to concerts, the UK crowds have a uncanny talent for such coordination. Amazing.
It’s the years of mandatory singing in school assembly’s that taught us well 😂😂
@@kizzia6564 🤣🤣🤣 very true 👍
@@kizzia6564 or singing god save the king/queen before our vast multitude of wars with just about everyone on the planet
Yeah, especially in football stadium you can teach a thing or two about hooliganism!!!
@@MissMariQueen 😅🤣😂 Compared to your BLM/Hockey rioting I doubt we can teach you a thing on disgusting behaviour. Your experts at it 😉
The British are BORN with the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody imprinted on the inside of our eyelids... it's genetic.
Truth
What makes it so amazing is that virtually no one in that crowd was alive when Freddie died. And the crowd are there to see a band that play very different music. I'm beginning to be believe that wonderful song has got into our DNA. When the song was released I was 14. I was 60 this year and I find it impossible to stop singing along now. Its powerful stuff
I was only 4 when he passed so didn't know until hearing after how big he was.
ah mate it seems a sacrilege that not everyone can appreciate a bit of Freddie in this epic song, Love Freddie, favourite album is Made In Heaven, personal choice, lol, 68 this year.
Most people in that crowd were alive when he died.
@@mildredhubble6848 green day are late 90s early 2000s so probably not they may have just been born but they wont be old enough to remember him being alive
How do you know? Were you going around in the crowd to check!?
The lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody is permanently encoded into the DNA of all British people since birth. Any defects found are usually taken out and shot. It's law that if you are in earshot of the song being played that you must start singing along to it, including mimicking the guitar solo and the piano from the opera section.
What are we gonna do about Kanye? He definitely broke some laws the night he attempted to perform it at Glastonbury.
Totally. Even my kids knew all the words before starting high school at 11.
And if you were in a car you had to do the Wayne's world head bang
I can remember in the 1990s my sister and I along with a couple of others sang this song without music from start to finish. We were doing summer work at a factory pushing tablets out of blister packets while sitting around a table. The 4 of us were singing this song while working.
Bohemian Rhapsody is Britain's second national anthem. It's part of the national education curriculum and all children are expected to know it word for word by the age of 5. For those of us old enough to remember it being released it brings enormous pleasure to see it being discovered through new eyes.
This is so much closer to reality than it comes across lol, If you don't know bohemian rhapsody word for word in your first decade, are you even British?
Stop exaggerating. It was never mentioned at school.
@@lauralishes1 I think its a joke...
Brilliant!🤣🤣🤣
@@lauralishes1 ffs get a life.
Kinda hard to explain the place Queen and Freddie Mercury play in the British psyche. Even decades after his death, his energy still spreads any time his music is heard. I guarantee you that even the people who weren't at the concert on the roads around the park joined in.
This just has to come on the radio in the car and we sing along 😁
Agreed!
Yeah ,I don’t think anyone could love him in the same way us Brits do..
This just make me proud to be British.🇬🇧. When it come to crowd participation we ROCK! 🤟🏻
A journalist once asked Freddie "What instrument do you play?"
He replied "The crowd, darling."
And he was right. Twenty-seven years after his death he was still doing it. Now that's a legend.
We in the UK are born, knowing the lyrics to Bo Rap. But in reality, Freddie was, is and always will be a legend. I remember, when I found he died, as a 16 year old lad, I was due to go to college, but instead I just went to my room and cried for the entire day. Freddie is the only celebrity I've done this for.
He'll always be missed, but he will never be forgotten
Love yer Freddie, you beautiful bastard
Love your respect, mate...
I feel this. It was my birthday yesterday. His anniversary. I turned 12 the day he died and I cried my heart out. Now I just turned 42 and I still get heartsore over it. Freddie was a true musician and showman. It makes me so happy that his legacy lives on and that Queen's music will be forever loved.
I was 17 and too I cried for 2 days and didn't go to school
I still have a cry when I watch a documentary about him, his death was a tragedy
The only other person whose celebrity death affected me was George Michael. So sad 😞
This is how a band steals a show without even being there. R.I.P Freddie LONG LIVE QUEEN!!!
It's a nod to Queen when you think how many people in that audience probably weren't even born when bohemian rhapsody came out, but they all know the lyrics. Greetings from Lancashire UK.
Most of that crowd is my age (I'm actually in the crowd, it was incredible) and were no more than 4 or 5 years old when Freddie died. Many were younger than that.
I’m a firm believer that kids will be singing along and rocking out to Bohemian Rhapsody in their bedroom on space stations 1000 years from now.
Freddie was asked what instrument he played other than piano and he replied “The audience darling.” He’s still doing it from heaven RIP Freddie. Why don’t you listen to Queen singing this song live, specifically at Montreal 1981. The concert was held 10 years to the day, before Freddie died
It wasn't an unusual reaction to Queen. If you go back to the Live Aid concert, there was an entire stadium doing the hand gestures to Radio Ga Ga in perfect unison as per the official video clip. Anyone would be excused for thinking it was a Queen concert as opposed to music fans of all walks of life, some who may have been there to see some other performer. Such was the power of the man.
I was there and wasn't particularly a Queen fan till that day. I was 16 at the time and it's still up there as one of the best days of my life.
Even we are as drunk as a skunk we can all sing this perfectly. It's in our DNA
one of the greatest rock/opera songs ever recorded, of course "us Brits" know all the the words, RIP Freddie
I was there in that crowd on that very day, and let me tell you it was something truly soul stirring, awesome, and freaking beautiful and unifying!
My eldest daughter was there too.
(She was 3.75 years old when Freddie died) It didn't take her long to learn the words to Queen's songs - as I had the records & CDs of course !!
I texted her when she was at that
Green Day concert and asked her how it was going...(because she had fainted at a different Green Day gig due to the heat) and she texted back about everyone singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" ...
That made me so (extra) proud of her and the British people - including me even though I wasn't there myself -
hope that doesn't sound too weird !! 😊❤🖖
It's kind of sad in a way to think that this is surprising to you. Do Americans not sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody? It's like an unavoidable kind of law of nature here that everyone sings along if it comes on, or if someone starts singing it anywhere in company.
On the late bus, in a pub, on a train, whatever. Someone starts singing, that's the next six minutes where no-one present is doing anything else! 😂
Wasn't there something in Wayne's World? No way! Yes way.
They do with Sweet Caroline.
Well, we sing along to Sweet Caroline in the UK, too. It's the song that's bound to get your aunties up and dancing at a family wedding :)
Yes, we do sing along. We just love hearing this. It shows the power of music and it is moving.
Start singing about putting a gun to someone's head and pulling the trigger in America and they'll take it seriously lol
It's the law, if you hear bohemian Rhapsody, you MUST sing along
Just found you guys and am thoroughly entertained. As a Brit I will say that this is in no way abnormal for us. We all know this song so well, that is the reason the diction is so good and that even as a choir of thousands you can so clearly hear the words. We're all coming in and signing off at the same time, giving that clarity. And yes, the applause is not us clapping for ourselves (reading below comments), but for all around us as a sign of unity and our enjoyment. We react the same whether its a pub of 20 people or 2000. Its also a song that is guaranteed to get the crowd psyched up and ready for the set. All concerts in the UK do have 'filler' music between bands and/or sets. :)
Only thing that even comes close to the Bohemian Rhapsody effect is the chorus of Rule Britainnia at Last Night of the Proms.
I was in that crowd with my husband seeing greenday was bucketlist item I was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 I been greenday and queen fan since I was 14 I am now 38 loved being among the crowd was one best experiences I have ever had
Aw bless , sending you loads of positive thoughts x
This gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
We miss you Freddie ❤
love this channel
We really do! 💔💔
every hackle, it's spooky
+1 on the goosebumps 🔊
The thing I love about this video is that by some magic people automatically sort themselves into singing different sections. It's like there was a meeting beforehand where it was decided who was going to go for the high notes and who the low notes.
Great comment
Absolutely beautiful 😂 the brits really know how to participate. They just instinctively knew who was singing what😂. Shiver went down my spine watching . I remember seeing the first showing of this on " top of the pops" us youngsters weekly Thursday fix of music. Miss Freddie so much , what a voice and what a performer.
And yes we all know the words, it's in our DNA.
Queen really turned it around at Live Aid ('85). As a teen at the time, everyone thought Queen were also-ran rock dinosaurs who were past their prime and just filling out the numbers compared to the more popular acts like Nik Kershaw, Style Council, etc. Then Freddie hit the stage and blew everyone away. After that, no-one cared what the Americans were doing (even though half the bands were British and they had some absolute legends).
Bohemian Rhapsody is a tradition at Green Day concerts. It is allways the last song before their own preshow starts. I'm pretty sure Green Day is backstage and enjoying every second of it.
I’m a huge Green Day fan - saw them 3x in 2017 during the U.K. tour - each time the entire stadium or arena sang our hearts out to this while waiting for Green Day to come on stage😊
I remember seeing them at Leeds festival which I think was around 2013/14 and I remember the exact same thing Bohemian Rhapsody came on whilst waiting for Green Day. I'm now wondering if this is something they do when performing in UK as they know full well it will lift the mood of the entire crowd. Everyone in UK enjoys a good Boh Rhap singalong
Green Day play it because they are huge Queen fans.
@@rchshrk It's something they allways do. It usually is played right before their preshow with the pink rabbit starts. And they do it everywhere. I think most people who are green day fans know the lyrics to bohemian rhapsody. At least here in Germany there is also always a sing along to it. It's just a Green Day tradition.
Never been a fan of crowds. Never wanted to go to concerts. However, that is one I deeply regret missing. The atmosphere is electric.
Freddie is a UK legend who could have the audience in the palm of his hand within minutes of being on stage. He is much loved and missed still.
Impressive how a song can be universally known. Uk people clap the brilliance of the song
Thank you, guys💕30 years ago today Freddie passed away at the age of 45, but he and his music is still with us
I doubt there are many Brits over a certain age group that could stop themselves singing along to this track. Many of us were around when it was first released in the UK (I was) so it's part of the fabric of UK music and culture. British music is bursting at the seems with gems like this and we're proud as hell about it.
This song was released 10 years before I was born but I have a dad that loves Queen so we grew up with their music. I knew bohemian rhapsody before I even understood who queen were.
I’m 25 and my brother is 14 and we both sing this song. And can’t help it 😂😂😂
That's exactly why bands love the UK 🇬🇧 we love decent music
A roadie put the music on to entertain the crowd while they were still setting up the stage. So it WAS totally spontaneous. Well done the parents of these kids, they bought 'em up well. This was brilliant. What a tribute to Freddie 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I walked past Freddies house - Garden Lodge in Kensington tonight as I live nearby, there was a guy with a guitar and about 50 people singing Queen hits. People walking past would stop and join in then go on their way. It was awesome. 30 years on and his star is just as bright. Bona-fide legend.
This is the UK the best f/ing country in the world.
I just love hearing a crowd singing together. It really gives you goosebumps.
I was there and it was magical
This was right before Green Day came on and Green Day couldn't match how loud we sang (they were still amazing)
Interesting thing due to Hyde Park being in the centre of London there's a noise cap and I was near the front and I struggled to hear the song playing so imagine how little the back heard of it
Yeah we was clapping Freddies memory
Wasnt at thst date but did Amsterdam, Manchester earlier that year then Sheffield a few days before this…all 3 the crowds sang along to Bohemian Rhapsody
You should watch Green Day perform Boulevard of Broken Dreams at Reading 2013. The crowd basically perform the song back to the band and Billie Joe just stands there in stunned silence, even bowing to the crowd at points.
And these people were there to see Green Day. Just shows how big Queen was as a band that so many new the words to be able to sing along like this.
The Tribute show has Guns n Roses and Metallica playing warm up... very few bands are as BIG as Queen were and still are.
new* knew
It's not just crowds at gigs, we sing in taxi queues, in the street, just randomly and it's brilliant.
This song is in the UK's DNA. They played the instrumental, I think, but everybody knew the words even though they were probably not born when Freddie was alive and this song was released. They were a Green Day crowd who would generally have been of the younger generation.
I was at Live Aid when Wembly became the centre of the Universe for a short time when Freddie came on and blew us all away and we blew him away back. Stayed with me all my life.🤩
That's a wonderful memory man
Thát was the most memorable concert in my lifetime 💙 Freddy & Queen took over 'the house' & rocked it!!
hello from Denmark
I was watching it live on the telly, would have loved to be there!
@@tillytoad804 You, me and literally a billion other people that day. GOD, what an amazing day!
i am so jealousy..... like genuinely jealous
I was there! Crazy day
Every Brit knows the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, sober or plastered. That’s 65,000 people having their moment and showing their love for one of our most iconic bands. I think more people know all the words to BoRap than the national anthem.
I was there for this and I was extremely drunk singing this as loud as I could (very badly may I add) but in the uk if a queen song comes on you have to sing along 🤷🏻♀️😂 also this was about 8/9pm just before green day and we’d all been there since midday as it was a day festival, so I assure the whole crowd was quite drunk 😂
No matter how drunk we Brits are we can always perfectly sing along to Queen
And Green Day are thinking "F*ck ! we have to follow that ! "
Queen and Freddie are national treasures in the UK. It’s beyond bad form to NOT sing along.
A British crowd at a music festival can’t be beaten
It can !! A WELSH crowd.....😜
@@ontherocks8712a place where everyone is Welsh? That’s just hell mate
@@ontherocks8712British you spoon
@@liamblack2574i think I’d have more fun watching paint dry than being in a room full of Welsh people
I was there, and the atmosphere was incredible, 65000 people came together to pay their respects to a legend, Billy Joe from Green Day said it best later in the concert music is the great uniter of man. The show went great for GD after, the crowd sang like this all night, Billy Joe let the crowd sing the first Boulevard of Broken dreams, he just sat down on the stage and laughed while it happened.
"If you think 6 minutes is a long time I pity your wife. "
Freddie Mercury.
RIP legend.
The Wembley Stadium concert in memory of Freddie Mercury in 1992 was just as moving - 72,000 people there and 500 million watching - a moving tribute to a marvellous entertainer and sweet human being.
This is like a second National Anthem for us Brits. We just love it.
I had goosebumps, every second they were singing. It's so raw, so from the heart. I hope Freddie heard it.
Even after 30 years people are still singing his songs goes to show he did something right just love him
Daniel best reaction. Not long after the song began, you quietly said Wow to yourself, and from that moment, the grin never left your face. You truly enjoyed every bit.
Unbelievable isn't it. 65,000 people singing in unison. Wwo. I love listening to this over and over.
I'm in this crowd, thankyou very much. Yes, it was awesome. This was right before Green Day came on. Still gives me the chills every time.
That song still gets to you even 30 years after Freddie passed away. Please checkout queen in the Live Aid concert at Wembley in 1985. Freddy's interaction with the crowd is nothing less than show-stopping perfection.
He controls a crowd, even when he's not there.
See the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony
Freddie was looking down and proud of his contribution to British history and the legacy he left behind.
This makes me so proud. It is because we sing together in school from nursery, age 4. Singing is a big part of weekly assemblies and every celebration.
I was 11 when I got the A Night at the Opera album and I wore that thing out. My grandson is 11 now and I explained to him that knowing how to sing Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish is a life skill everyone should have. I'm sure others have mentioned this, but you posted this on the 30th anniversary of Freddie's death. I miss him so much.
A fitting reaction. Freddie passed away 30 years ago today 😥 I'm a Brit who idolizes Queen and I also adore Green Day too. Thank you so much for this xxx
This demonstrates that good music and good musicians will always prevail. I don't see any modern "artist" being able to accomplish this in time.
You should check out some Twenty One Pilots - seriously, give them a look, I’ve seen many bands in concert in my time, but they are good live, talented musicians, write all their own stuff and top quality concerts that are all about the fans.
@@esselleanderic Umm..will try then...
This is a reflection of our love and appreciation for the best front man and band there ever was! ❤️ Freddie lives on here in the UK and around the world! 💓💓
This has boroughs a tear to my eye, I love our country, Freddy will be looking down with a smile on his face. 👌
For some reason this gets me to cry every now and then. Now was one of those times.
Of course it was Green Day's choice. They LOVE great music 🇬🇧
This is simply amazing. No words really. I heard people heard these folks singing from over a mile away.
Its such a special moment when thousands of people from dif backgrounds, races and ethnicities come together as one, even if only for a few mins. It's hard to see in the moment but so awesome when u experience it
Seen this over a dozen times, gives me the chills everytime.
Freddie looking down….smiles….and drops the Mic!
This shows how much love there is for Queen as a band and for the separate members of the band also, in addition to the music itself.
As a Brit i unfortunately wasn't there during this gig but all i can say is freddy and queen are such a big part of our musical and revolutionary identity for the time essence. U would be hard find to find someone in the UK that doesn't know this song word for word
No one beats Freddie, sending love from across the pond 💜🇬🇧
That was a testament to the size of Freddie Mercury's spirit, that he could fill all those people. This is the third time I've watched this clip and it gets me tearful every time
Well done Green day! They really knew how to get a home crowd hyped.
Queen were my cousin’s favorite band. Truly, she was the best of us. She died of leukemia aged 14.
I was too young to realise the enormity of it all.
I think now, listening to the words, of her poor mam, who’d always say about Jacqueline and Queen, listening to this years later.
Tears rolling down my face now.
That video always makes me proud to be British and it gives me goosebumps everytime 🤣🇬🇧
IT's the spontaneity of it that is amazing, everyone is hyped for Green Day, some start singing and frankly you have to join in, then suddenly you're part of something and it's euphoric, kinda how evangelical churches work but without a downside
65,000 people singing a song from 46 years ago (most of them probably werent even alive when this came out) what a legacy freddie left
The applause was definitely for Queen. The outdoor gigs I've been to usually have music playing over the loud speakers until the support acts come on. When you get into the stadium at midday and have to stand there for the next 7/8 hours waiting for the main act to come on they have to play something.
To think that 30 years on I am watching a reaction video to A Crowd singing one of his songs.......says it all for the genius he was and the gift he gave with his music. RIP
Trust me nobody is ever sober at any festival/concert in the UK at any time in the day 😂 most people don't eat for the full weekend. Just pills and whatever else there is 😂 UK festivals/concerts are absolutely crazy
Also if you want drugs, ask anybody. Literally...anybody. We're all packing 🤣
1: "Hey you got some Ket?"
2: "Nah bro, this one's MDMA. You wanna go three tents down on the left fam"
1: "Sound fam"
😂😂😂. They thought everyone was sober! Oh sweet summer children😂😂😂😂
Does cider for breakfast count 😀
@@donnabarnes540 No sorry 😂
@@westham5047 I’ve failed 😀
Can't imagine many could hear the music. This is shot from the middle of an empty stage. Impressed mostly by the song was released a long time before most of 'em were even born.
You can't really appreciate how mind blowing BR was back in '75 if you weren't around at the time. All done on analogue hardware.
Brings a tear to your eye and a smile to your face knowing even now Freddie still gets the crowd fired up gives me hope & shows we still have our humanity ☺
