Somebody to love Live in Montreal 1981 is a must!
This version but in Montreal
Subed for Queen. No they were not trained. Live at will shock u at Montreal. Please more Queen.
Or Milton Keynes bowl is also amazing
Their whole Live Aid concert, required listening.
Watch this live in Montreal
As a Queen fan of 35 years and having seen them live many times (including at Live Aid) you have to react to their live stuff as Queen were the only band that sounded BETTER live than in the studio. You have to check out the live version of "Somebody to Love" in Montreal 1981 MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE QUEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN please
MOOOOOORE QUEEEEEEEN
That's what I love about Queen... I don't agree that the live is 'better' than studio, not always. In fact they are one of the few bands where you can take your pick and massively enjoy both!
Live has lots of energy and ad-libs/variations and crowd participation, while studio has all the harmonies and guitar orchestrations that set Queen apart!
Best of both!
👍🥰❣️❣️❣️
@@toddmathers5075 hi thanks for your comment, and opinions do vary and I accept yours, it depends on personal preference, at least we can agree on one thing which is our mutual appreciation for great music/musicians that is simply Queen. Stay safe
jo jo i dont doubt you are a massive Queen fan, but how do the maths stack up? you say a year ago (2021) you have been a fan for 35 yrs? so that brings it back to 1986, you said you'd seen them live many times including live aid?? when did you manage to see them many times.....unless its a typo and you meant 45 years? 👑✊🇬🇧
Guys now you've watched the studio version trust me you need now to sit down and react to the live version from Montreal in 1981 check out how many views it has
None of them were trained.....just talented.
This was before frredy got disgusting
Queen...such talent...none of them had vocal training 🤩
Montreal 81. Best Live.
As good as the studio take is, the live versions at Montreal '81 and Milton Keynes '82 will astound you.
YESSSS
Version Live at Milton Keynes is good.
Truly fantastic version. Queen live is the best.
YESSSS YESSSS
I call Milton Keynes the wildcard concert. Montreal is that gift under the tree with a beautiful bow. You want both.
I"m sure you know about Freddie but the Guartist is Dr Brian May He Has A PHD in Astrophysics. He Also Made his own Guitar with parts around his house when he was a teenager. He made it with his dad and He calls it the red special and still uses it to this day. The Drummer Roger Taylor and He has a degree in Biiology as well. The Bass Player John Deacon has a degree in Electrical Enigneer And Built a Amp for the band called the Deaky Amp.
If you want to hear Freddie's falsetto in full force, listen to his demo Exercises in Free Love.
Falsetto also in "Cool Cat," and "See What A Fool I've Been," along with " Impromptu" 1986 Wembley
Or the flip side of that, Cool Cat. How fun.
Yes, they were all singing and playing muti instruments also all wrote nr 1 hit.
John didn't sing.
It's just a fact.
Many many interviews with the band tell us that the whole thing was done with three singers and multiple tracks.
Each would sing every backing vocal in each part (different keys) and the best mixdown to suit the style of the song was used.
Inspired by the Wall Of Sound created by Phil Spectre for the Beach Boys (who the boys in this video forgot when listing great vocal bands!).
The three guys just happened to have certain qualities (and abilities) to each of their voices that, when they merged, they sounded magical.
Not even the Beatles did that!
Okay guys, loved the reaction. So here's the formula for success. Queen = Subscribers. Guaranteed!
None of them are vocally trained, God given talent.
Thats what ppl say when they cant admit that rock is a talent they jump str8 to hating
What would you expect when only one guy knows queen and the others are not even giving that band a chance
Its funny because they will become fans
But at first its like redundancy
@@jessebrae1514 Many young people are just now finding Queen, it seems hard for them to understand, in this day of auto tune and computerized music, that there was once a people who could actually sing beautifully, and master a instrument.
Milton Keynes 1982, or Montreal 1981 live is much better
Better 1979 England Hammersmith odeon
...and Montreal even better!
Man you should have done the live version from Montreal 1981.
99.9% GREATER when live. 81 Montreal concert of this song will BLOW YOU THREE AWAY!!
The backup singing often sounded like a whole choir instead of just the four of them because they would layer the vocals during recording - the entire band was incredibly hands on with the recording process. This was back when they used actual tape reels instead of computers, so on their more complex songs it could take hours upon hours and the tape would be worn thin (according to Brian and Roger when discussing the making of “Black Queen”, for example). And nope, they weren’t vocally trained at all, not even Freddie! Some of the vocal layering was done with just Freddie’s voice over and over itself in different keys - the very beginning of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, for example, is just him, though the operatic section includes all of their voices. Check this song out live in Montreal! It’s one of Freddie’s best vocal performances ever.
Ahem, three of them.
I don't wanna sound like a killjoy, but John didn't sing.
It's even more remarkable that only three of them did all that amazing vocal work!
Right, John did very little singing.
@@grandtheftmanualv945 John didn't like his voice but he did sing the lower range, especially when doing live versions of their songs.
Freddie liked Aretha Franklin, more Queen, please, something live from Montreal 81 or Wembley 86, fe Love Of My Life, or Now I ´m Here
Have to listen to the Same song live Milton Keynes.
As stated below... You should do the live version in Montreal 1991 for comparison... A spectacular live performance!!
They all were in college with great professions. None were professionally trained. John did it like a hobby. He never dreamed they would be that big. Their passion for music took over.
Loved the reaction. If you have never heard it, please listen to the studio version of Take My Breath Away. The harmonies are amazing.
Multi-layered vocal tracks. Please do more Queen!
The Prophet's Song/Love Of My Life remastered
Time well spent!
Look up the CZcams video of a Green Day concert, the crowd is singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen while they wait for Green Day
Live at Montreal 1982. You have to see Queen live.
Queen is best, live!!!
Queen, the King of Rock!!!!!!
Thank you for the great reaction, queen forever 💖watching and listening their musics over and over again and I am still not tired of it, always awesome, full of surprises, thank you again😍
Fun fact: they were not really vocally trained, Roger (the drummer) knew the basics cause he used to be a choir boy at this school as a child, actually in the beginning of Queen he used to give Freddie some singing tips since he wasn't that good yet. Queen has some amazing songs like I'm In Love With My Car, Tenement Funster and Drowse with Roger singing and She Makes Me, '39 and Sleeping On The Sidewalk with Brian on the vocals. John (the bass player) is the only one who only sang backing vocals at concerts but never in studio since he claimed he wasn't as good as the others.
I’m off to Montreux next week for the celebrations of what would have been Freddie’s 75th birthday! I should have made the pilgrimage by now, but finally doing it. Can’t wait! It will be very, very emotional though!!!
Best feel good reaction goes to the guy in the middle. Freddy and Queen make me feel the songs too. 😍
Love your reaction. I had the privilege to see queen in concert in Slane Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1986 what a voice what a showman what a band was devastated when he died in 1991 broke my heart
Love your reaction. They were never vocally trained they're just awesome
They were huge here also.
Definitely do more Queen!!! This is my favorite Queen song in the universe!! Gotta do their live performances of Somebody To Love in Milton Keynes 1982 and Montreal 1981. Lots of Queenies out there so please do more Queen!! 👑DRAGON ATTACK & GET DOWN MAKE LOVE from the Montreal concert 1981. ONE VISION & NOW I’M HERE live at Wembley 1986. 🙏🙏 Queen voted best live rock band of all time in 2020! Brian May voted #1 guitarist by Guitar Magazine surpassing Jimi Hendrix! Queen is the second best selling artists of all time!! Queen is so talented & amazing!! LOVE YOUR REACTION BOYS! 👏👏
This the best version... shows the band's true range not just Freddie... Freddie's homage to Aretha Franklin. Their songs are multi-tracked... Brian May the guitarist is a PhD Astrophysicist, Roger Taylor, drummer, has a Biology degree, John Deacon, bassist is an Electrical engineer, and Freddie studied graphics and design in college. NONE were classically trained musicians.
By the way, none of them including Freddie were vocally trained; Freddie did learn classical piano as a child but did not continue for very long.
Queen never stuck to one genre like most bands. Freddie could sing songs that went back from 20s to 30s with Seaside Rendezvous and 50s with Crazy little thing called love. They were the first to do what was considered the first thrash metal of its kind with Stone Cold Crazy..Freddie spat some bars there!! Freddie could sing rock, pop, opera, blues and jazz....Dreamers ball is a bluesy jazz feel... cool cat is in the falsetto register. Freddie did opera with Montserrat Caballe too. Listen to Somebody to love live in Montreal 81. Roger in that same concert sang I'm in love with my car!... check them all out. Freddie had a 4 octave voice range f2-f5..possibly f6.
Great reaction.👍
Pls do Somebody To Love Live version.
It is different.You won't regret it.
You must watch the live version at Montreal in 81. One of the best live performances of all time.
Listen to the Milton Keynes version live - easily on par
Yes this song was in “Happy Feet” .... even the penguins got it right. DON’T STOP ME NOW was in “Shaun Of The Dead” !! UNDER PRESSURE was in the animated movie “SING”. YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND was in “The Break-Up” with Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughn. T-Mobile is using I WANT IT ALL by Queen & the Acura commercial is using Queen’s TEAR IT UP song!! Queen is timeless!!
You forgot 'Highlander'!
@@Georgestella100 Of course HIGHLANDER & FLASH GORDON!!
@@debramoore7513 I watched both those movies at the cinema when they first came out and was so happy when I realised they were using Queen songs throughout the films. It made my viewing so much more enjoyable!
@@Georgestella100 I had the same reaction! As campy as Flash was you can’t deny the Queen music!! Wore my Flash shirt yesterday! AAAAHHHH - saw Highlander with my mom cuz she loved Sean Connery & loved Queen’s music! For her it was 2 for 1 gift package!! RIP Mom - Freddie - Sean Connery 💗💗
I love to see you appreciating the wonder of Queen. There's so much more for you to see. Too many for me to list.
Yesssa, Queen!!!! Please more, i really hope for Queen live performance. I suggest Fatbottemed girls live at the Bowl or One Vision live at Wembley. Much bless guys, loved this!! ❤
I have 3 words “Fat Bottomed Girls!!”
@@debramoore7513 😁👍
This is wath alot of american rocks band lack style queen is legend
The 70's were the BEST age to grow up. I was blessed to be a teenager in that era,
Queen were a band that were (almost) always better live! Obviously they can’t replicate the multi layered harmonies of this song on stage, but they brought whole different level of energy to the live performance, to all their live performances. So you simply must watch this live at Montreal 1981. It is next level amazing. Please, please, please! DO MORE QUEEN! From Montreal, Dragon Attack, Save Me, Keep Yourself Alive. From Milton Keynes, Fat Bottomed Girls, Action This Day. And perhaps the best concert of them all in terms of energy and crowd interaction, Wembley 1986. One Vision, Tie Your Mother Down, Under Pressure, Another One Bites The Dust and Now I’m Here. Loved your reaction guys, and I love Queen.
No. They were equally great in the studio. Just different.
The guy in pink blurted out Jesus Christ...as one moment ago as i looked at John Deacon' s face on screen I thought he looked like Jesus Christ!!..😊😊
Love u guys for that wonderful reaction. Bet you were not even born
yet when Queen dominated the music industry. It is with so profound delight seeing you doing reactions on them! Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart❤❤
More power to all of you!!!👍👍👍
Great Valentine’s Day reaction pick 👍. The concert footage is from their famed Hyde Park concert with 120,000 + audience. This song in particular is amazing live. Live, Roger & Freddie essentially duet in this song.
Queen theme week 🤞🏼
Queen theme month!!
You will absolutely marvel at this band doing this song live. Please react to Somebody to Love either at Montreal 1981 or Milton Keynes Bowl 1982. Both are superb for vocals instrumentals and crowd interaction,
...I Loved Your Reaction To This &Liking What You Had To Say .. I'm In Complete Agreement... "Queen" Is My All Time Favourite Group EVER..."Freddie Mercury Is The Ultimate Singer/Performer/Showman Of This Century In My Opinion... Gone Far Too Soon But NEVER Forgotten 😥 He Is The Ultimate Legend Of Legends... You Really Should React To Their Performance Live At Montreal 81...My All Time Favourite Live Act Ever... Collectively All Members Are Untouchable...It Makes Me So Proud That Their Music Reaches Different Generations& Loved By The Masses... Keep Up With Your Own Queen Journey/Reactions.. Respect Rach UK x
Roger Taylor had a bit of vocal training when he was in the Truro Cathedral School Choir but nothing more than that. They are all multi instrumentalists too.
MORE QUEEN PLS. New subscriber here🤗
Queen is the best bend because of Freddie but I gotta give love to Roger Taylor's great back up voice . His voice is so great AND he is drumming at the same time!! I do enjoy still going to their concerts with Adam Lambert (he still tours with them and are dropping a new album with Adam) but Freddie was a one of a kind! Great review. More Queen, Twenty One Pilots and Panic! at the Disco please.
What a great song !!!
I was totally amazed !!!
You should react to Queen montreal
1981 live version ' somebody to love.
Freddy and Montserrat Caballe: "Barcelona", live at the Nit - truly awesome!
This video is is the studio version, showing the Hyde Park concert in 1975. They overdubbed the 3 singers voices, Brian, Roger and Freddie. John didn't sing. They layered them over and over to sound like and huge choir. Roger had the very unusually high voice. As great as this is you HAVE to watch this song Live in Montreal 1981. Queen was almost always better live! None had vocal training. No one had instrument training except Freddie and Brian took up to grade 4 piano. They just had talent overload!
All Queen songs will leave you in Awe! Especially the live versions. Wait till you see Freddie singing opera duets with Spanish opera singer Monsterrat Cabballet. You won't believe it.
Barcelona
The Golden boy
Ensueno
How can I go on
Four men singing like four hundred. The TALENT is off the charts 🤯
Good reaction. If you like their studio songs you will likely be blown away by their live performances. They cover many genres, some of their best songs are not necessarily their biggest hits. Some may really shock you.
Fantastic song
Live is so different! (Not better, just...more.) If you don’t react to it, just watch it & be amazed!
None of them were trained vocally or on their instruments (besides Freddie taking piano lessons as a youngster & being in the choir at school in India). All self taught on multiple instruments and All in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, too.
Roger & Brian have great voices, too, you’re right. You should listen to some of the songs they sang lead on - “39” (Brian) “Drowse” (Roger) plus more!
Yes not better, just different. Every one was different yet special. I still love the studio cut.
@@bettybaby63 Hey Betty - Happy Valentines Day 🥰
Hi Ladies!!
Every Queen song is amazing!
To get the full effect of what these guys can do, watch their performance at Live Aid 1985.
Oh my favourite song by Queen love these vocals
4 amazing musicians
I loved you guys reactions 😍 MORE QUEEN PLEASE ❤️ Don’t Stop me know!
It's so nice to see you honestly enjoying and appreciating all the subtle nuances that made my generation such HUGE fans of these groups. As silly as it sounds. instead of just watching for your reaction, I find myself watching the music video itself even though I've seen them tons of times before. What makes your channel stand out though is the true appreciation you all show, It reawakens in me why I loved the band in the first place! Thank you!
I saw them in concert in Dallas Reunion Arena. The concert in this video looks just like the one I went to. Freddie was wearing the liaitards, he would have a white one on, then it would change color to yellow, then black, I'm not sure how they did it, every song he looked different, and the guitarist had that same outfit on too. I loved the concert.
There was a band in Cleveland (MSB...Michael Stanley Band) in the 80's and you should check them out. They were popular in the Midwest and Florida. They have quite a few songs on CZcams, Anyway their song "Someone Like You" is sung by their second lead singer. Michael Stanley just passed away recently.
So I just searched your whole page for Queen songs, and sadly I only found this one (studio version), (excellent), and the live in Montreal ‘81, (excellent). So where are the others?! 🤣 Waiting patiently... Save Me, Radio Gaga, Under Pressure, Who Wants to Live Forever, Tie Your Mother Down, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Love of my Life, White Queen and the full LIVE AID SET (20ish mins., no it’s not too long) PLEASE. I’ll wait til they pop up!!!! XO
Exercises in free love will shock you . Shows Freddie’s. Real range
One band where every member has pretty good vocals is Green Day. You should check out their song Homecoming. It's a long track with a bunch of movements that highlight each member. It's fantastic.
The harmonies on this are just fire. John Deacon sang back ups sometimes and played piano occasionally, but if you want to hear Roger, he sings I’m in Love with My Car. For Brian, try the official video of 39. It’s a bit of a deeper cut, but a great folk song with a great story.
Love your reactions to Queen. X
I stumbled on the Montreal live version you did and then found this. You all seemed to love Queen, so it hard to believe I can find no more Queen reactions!! Yes, they are the Best Band of All Time. Please do more, especially the Live Aid concert.
So beautiful, so relatable. 💞 #ViewsFromThe502 #SomebodyToLove #Queen
Queen is as talented off the stage as on! They had no vocal training, nevertheless, they had brains, beauty and amazing talent! Can't say just how much I love Freddie Mercury and Queen! ❤ YOU MUST LISTEN TO QUEENS SONG" UNDER PRESSURE " with DAVID BOWIE! It will blow your mind, especially when you hear the bass riff!
that was the actual studio they were singing and recording as u saw them all the other live stage stuff was just added to the video but u were hearing the original studio version. the applause was just added as extra
Try listening to 39, from the A Night At the Opera album. The guitarist, Brian May, sings. Also, from their debut album "Keep Yourself Alive" and from News of the World "Spread Your Wings".
Freddie was a PERFECTIONIST 🤩
Apart from the bassist, they all sang. Their previous band Smile already had some pretty good vocal harmonies made by Brian May, Roger Taylor and their previous singer Tim Staffell. By the way, Tim Staffell also had a band after Smile, called Morgan. Awesome keyboards-based progressive rock. They released two albums, "Nova Solis" (1972) and "The Sleeper Wakes" (recorded in 1973, but only released in 1977).
Rather than take you guys in the direction of this song live, I'd like to request another song. My Fairy King, which is the song where Freddie created his stage name, referring to his mom as Mother Mercury. It's beautiful and has a fantasy theme. Really early and really underrated.
He's right! Brittany Murphy sang it in Happy Feet.
More Queen 👑 👑👑
Exercises in free love. Freddie’s ultimate range
On some albums theres a lot of overdubbs to create a choir effect
Freddie was so good at double tracking it would faze,unless they wanted that effect he had to conciously do the tracks differently to stop that happening
I would love for you guys to react to a band called DMA's. They're a fairly new band and their songs are fantastic. Songs like "Delete", "In the End", "Silver" just to name 3. There's so many more worth looking at though!
Live performances are the best! Watch again live though
Me: new to this channel (first ever vid i seen)
Them: hit the bell *GONG*
Me: UNDERTAKER VIDEO???
No one better than Freddie but George Michael was close. And he performed this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert shortly after his death. George's performance was electric and I have no doubt Freddie was there that night. You should watch even if you don't review it on the channel. But you should!
Have you reacted too one of the live versions of this? I like the one from Milton Keynes ( pronounced keens) from I think 84
Milton Keynes 1982 (my favorite version)
Roger and Brian are both lead singers in their own right but not they nor Mercury were professionally trained musicians or singers. They were just crazy good and really perfectionists with every aspect of their music. They took a long time to produce albums because good just wasn't good enough, it had to be perfect. I love Queen, still, after all these years and I have been following them since the very beginning, as soon as they hit the US with their first single.
If you want to hear a man with a high voice check out In the Lap of the Gods ( not the revisited one ) from the Rainbow 1974 Roger will surprise you x
A Queen theme! Hey, it's only 50 years to react to ;-)
Listen to The Prophet’s Song, from the twin album A Day at the Races, and remember they produced Races and A Night At the Opera within months of each other.
Most beautiful and "intentional" version (with the gospel-style "call-backs" - that's Aretha's influence - takin' us to church) - however, one of the most moving is the Montreal 1981 live- with video! thanks, guys - (better singers than Freddie? I suppose "best" singer is very subjective....) BTW - Freddie, Brian and Roger were the singers... John, not so much -- but he did fill in a bit in live shows...Roger was the high-vocal star in the live shows... all while playing incredible drums...
