The Live in Rio is also great!!!
I have always loved this particular performance. The expression on the face of the girl in the audience at the end of the song is priceless..
This song became a love affair between Freddie and the fans. In South America in 1981, over 125,000 fans sang the song flawlessly even though English was not their first language. The band were blown away. The tradition continued over the years. Freddie always tells the fans..."I still love you." In Montreal, you hear Freddie say to Brian.."They don't know it." They had just come back from the Rio gigs and Freddie wasn't used to singing all of it! That's Brian's explanation as he recalls it (during the Montreal commentary provided by Brian and Roger...DVD..Rock in Montreal). It is nice however, when Freddie sings more on his own, as in this Montreal version...we get to hear more of his phenomenal voice. To be fair, you can actually hear the audience in Mtl singing quite well....LOL...Thanks for your continuing Queen reactions.....so many fantastic gems to enjoy. I can't wait!!
Everything you said is what I was going to say. We Queenies all think alike don’t we?
@@leonarae8496 ...we sure do! :) It's great to be a part of such a long standing devoted group of Queen fans.
@@alexandrary4390 👑❤️🎶🎵❤️
For me......THE BEST PERFORMANCE 👑👑👑👑 Just Freddie singing and Brian playing the guitar. Nothing else
Seven Seas of Rye at Wembley, Under Pressure has a riff stolen by vanilla ice, he got himself sued by Queen and David Bowie lol
The Rock In Rio of this is amazing! The audience takes over the song.
Great reaction. I love this one because you can hear Freddie actually sing it all. But there i something quite beautiful about the way the audience engaged with Freddie in either the Rio one in 1981 or wembley 1986. Please react to one of those also. Thanks. For early Queen, try In the Lap of the Gods and In the Lap of the Gods Revisited - almost same titles but different songs.
WELCOME TO THE OBSESSIVE CLUB, Honey💕
DO YOU KNOW: In current-day Queen's (+ Adam Lambert) concerts, Brian May always performs "Love Of My Life" as a tribute to Freddie... and thru the magic of video technology, a LARGER than Life Freddie appears next to Brian, to sing the last part... It is practically IMPOSSIBLE to have dry eyes! (Brian often weeps a bit himself and has a handkerchief handy to wipe his face.)
There are LOTS of audience-filmed versions from different shows on YT. (I prefer the earlier ones from 2015, because the video set-up next to Brian feels more intimate.)
I think Freddie has always managed to change his tone to convey the emotion of a song, regardless of who wrote it. Great to see you back on Queen....thank you! As others have said the Wembley performance of this song is fantastic with the audience participation.
Another two beautiful love songs from Queen are You Take My Breath Away and One Year Of Love, which I like a lot. Is This The World We Created is also great song - only Freddie and Brian with guitar. Thank you
I prefer the one from Wembley Stadium 1986 or even the one from Rio in front of 250,000 people
Okay. I will check that out. Maybe the whole concert??
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 The Wembley 1986 concert is an awesome concert all the way through, probably my favorite outside of Live Aid 1985, but for Love of My Life specifically, Rio is pretty darn impressive due to the size of the crowd and the fact they don't speak English yet they can sing the song perfectly.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 they did two concerts in July 1986 Friday and Saturday and again same songs sung differently,they never wanted to sound the same two nights in a row,and you'll find Dr Brian May and Roger Taylor dropping videos for the 50th Anniversary of the group which makes me feel very old as I remember when they started,and I've no doubt they'll do something for Freddie in November as it'll be 30 years since he passed away
I love so much of their music, but this is my favorite of their entire playlist.
IN THE LAP OF THE GODS...live 86 at Wembley.....great performance
YESSSS - The medley with Seven Seas of Rhye & Tear It Up!! Amazing.
Please react to In the Lap of the Gods, 1974 Live at the Rainbow. Freddie’s voice is indescribable - so beautiful in this song. Nice reaction.
The studio version is basically a classical song with piano, harp, complexer vocal arrangements and Brian's guitar emulating orchestra instruments.
The live version is the stripped down "unplugged" version. 😀
Love studio version! Brian learned to play the harp!! Of course, he’s an Angel!
Patrick, I am also obsessed with Freddie's voice (and everything else about him!!!). He puts his heart and soul into every song whether he wrote it or not. As mentioned by others, you must watch Freddie sing this song at other concerts - each one was special, perfect and different. Did you see that young lady with stars in her eyes in the front row when the song ended? That's how I feel every time I listen to Freddie!!!!! 💖👑🎶🥂
To understand the full effect, you'd must do the Argentina or Rio concerts where hundreds of thousands of fans are singing the song TO Freddie and Bri in English. These ppl speak/spoke Spanish as their naive tongue. But the one in Rio Freddie is washed with the voices of the audience and to see HIS response to them is astonishing!
YESSS... The Rio performance is the MOST HEARTWARMING💕
Yes, Rio is truly amazing!
This is a much better live version of the song than the Rio version.
@@LarsPallesen No way is this version better than the Rio version! Firstly, there's the language factor! The ppl there don't speak English as their native language BUT they're ALL singing the songs (THIS ONE particularly) that touches Freddie's heart ANNNND soul that far surpass any other live performance of the song. The audience interaction with Freddie touched him the MOST which why the Rio version outshines any other one IMO!
Rio made me cry .. best one!!
You need to see the Rio concert, for a full effect of this song, sung to Freddie by 250,000 people.
Absolutely! Rio or Wembley are the best introduction to this song. Rio is AMAZING. Both show the audience giving the love right back to him.
Sounds good to me. 😊
Thank you!
Are you ready for more awesomeness? Are you? Do you feel courageous?
Then go and watch this song performed live in Rio 1985, and you'll see about 300,000 people (maybe more, just look at the crowd size), non-English speakers (Brazilian Portuguese speakers) all singing along Freddie, the whole song in English, in perfect English. The amount of love the crowd shows and gives to the band, and to Freddie, is out of this universe!!!
And we can understand why, just look at any of the live performances, from the beginning (the 1970s) to the 80s, they knew how to make the crowd feel welcome, feel like they, we were all part of Queen too. That's the kind of emotion I get every time I see a video of Queen or of Freddie doing his solo work.
The love is immense, we feel loved, and we love them back.
Love this song. Try the Wembley version it is epic. If you ever have a choice Wembley is outstanding. This song is for his first love Mary Austin. She stayed in his life until he passed and he left her pretty much everything.
Hey Aletha!
You know. I’ve heard so much about the Wembley version. Well. Honestly, all of the performances from Wembley. Probably just react to the whole concert. Is there one? A full concert in Wembley??
Aww. How nice. I love it even more now that I know the story !
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 yes it's like a 2-hour concert so you may want to break it down into 20 minute parts I've seen a lot of CZcamsrs do it. I've watched this entire concert so many times I actually have the DVD Blu-ray LOL. Do you have a PO box I would love to send you a Freddie POP
There are several live versions of this. I really like this one because Freddie has to sing the whole thing, and it was beautiful
There is pain, pathos and just depth of feeling in his voice.
The fans at this concert were told to be quiet and still Freddie was mad. Do any other version for the full effect💛
Tammy...yes... I love Freddie joking with Brian about the fans not knowing the song (they knew every word😁)...the production company seemed to be a nightmare...they wanted Queen to wear the same clothes on the two nights they were in Montreal...the company’s idea was to combine the two shows for a video....and in true Queen fashion they said “no way”...that’s why Freddie wore the shorts for “Another One Bites the Dust”..as one one commenter said “my guy’s a lifeguard and he might go swimming later”😂..Freddie Mercury..one of a kind🤩
His voice is and always be the incredible voices of my generation 💗 He wrote this beautiful so g for the love of his life Mary. 💕
Fyi if you're a huge fan you are considered a Queenie so welcome aboard we love that you're joining the queen Army always love your reactions
I love how expressive your face is while you're listening to the music. You're really taking it all in. Love it.
Great reaction. All versions of this song are great. I suggest to watch the Wembley 1986.
Melted...Just beautiful.
Brian & Freddie would perform a few of these at each show, & they were always magical.
ETA: now you’ll have to watch Wembley or Rio to understand the contrast. 😎
Tears An I have heard this many times god you teased us we love ur Angle FREDDIE MERCURY an Queen 👑👑👑👑💞 Legends All Of Them 🌹🥰💞💫🔥💯🥇
The Wembley version is terrific, but also give a listen to the album version - it is on the piano, and Freddie is amazing on it.
And Bri on harp
I loved it. I’m not sure which version is the best since this is my first listen. But, I loved this song and both Freddie and Brian DELIVERED! There are so many Wembley reactions to do. 😊🙏🏾💯
Enjoyed your reaction video. First time to see one of yours. Btw, Brian May is playing a 12 string acoustic, which is harder to play than a standard 6 string, especially using a mixed technique of strumming and finger picking like he's doing. It's a great performance.
Loving your reactions to Queen. This is a beautiful song. Freddie's voice and Brian's guitar are a match made in Heaven. Check out the Wembley version and the one from Rio. They're awesome too. Much love. 💙💙💙💜💜💜🌞🌞🌞
Amazing !!! Great reaction.
We still love you Freddie.
That's what every fan feels about Freddie's voice is outstanding and obsessed to him you cannot feel this because he is singing from his heart great reaction ♥️
Yes as others have said you need to see Wembley or Rio to see the full effect xx maybe you could also have a listen to the album version it’s absolutely beautiful Brian plays the harp different again x
Loved your reaction. I can totally relate to what you are saying about Freddie, as can most Queen fans. He puts so much emotion into his performance. He gives it everything he's got every single time. I think it is this passion that connects me as well. I am a newer Queen fan but I am completely obsessed with them. Also, you have an awesome voice, so deep and soothing. You were born to be on the microphone!
Beautiful! The official video (A Day At The Races Album) is much different and not just Freddie and Brian, but it has Brian playing harp and would not be able to be done in that way on stage. Rather than not do the song, they made it this beautiful duet.
Hello There Patrick!! Beautiful Beautiful ballad!! Song written for his love Mary Austin. Freddie’s one true friend & someone he explicitly trusted! 💕 They were once engaged for several years but they broke up!! Freddie & Mary remained life long friends until he passed away! She still lives in Garden Lodge (Freddie’s home) & still is involved with the Queen business is some manner! Mary is the only one who knows where his ashes are! A promise was made!! Love Of My Life is a fan favorite!! Check it out at Rock n Rio 1985. 🌸💗🌸💗
Written for the audience...do your research🤩
@@josephinemonahan915 I have done my research including from the book called Queen - All The Songs, The Story Behind Every Track, Love Of My Life pages 136-137, written by Benoit Clerc. In addition to that book I also researched Wiki & Google. 🙃
Beautiful performance, beautiful reaction. So glad you mentioned that run down that he did at the end, spectacular but he didn't call attention to it at all.
I know exactly what you are saying. Depth and pain that Freddie can give us the feels. Freddie will always- always be my favorite- forevermore- since 1970’s
Welcome back to Queen. You always give great reviews, thank you. I am looking forward to your 70's reviews.
Love of My Life in Rock in Rio is my favorite of this song
This version of Love of my life is beautiful.
Brian May sang it solo when live in prague, its beautiful and so much emotion in it, Freddie is missed by all, but especially his friends.
I got you, the feelings are just thr same, me too obsessed, I love them all, especially Freddie, miss him so much, I'm granny, avid fan
What a beautiful performance
Ilove your reaction you are 👍 great and your appreciation to queen and freddie makes me happy ifeel the same for many years 💖 ❤️
One of my favorite songs is, Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona, live at La Nit. It is amazing
Freddie sang five octaves which is rare. He was special. RIP freddie.
Hey you gorgeous man! What a beautiful song sang by a beautiful soul . (Even my 83 yr. old Dad said "what a talented man taken too soon"!! RIP kind soul and God bless to Brian and Anita.
Great reaction!
You need to check out other live versions, because of the audience! the audience in this concert was told to sit down and to shut up, because: Well, how to explain!? The whole concert-show is actually a concert-movie which was played in the cinemas/movie-theatres back then. That's why the quality is so good. It was recorded with cinema-cameras and in dolby-surround-sound. Fun fact: It's avaible in HD with 5.1 surround sound and THX as well. They made it because they were at the peak of their carrier. They played almost 300 concerts a year, but half of the world couldn't attent to the sold out show - so they dropped this movie which was played around the world! It was even in the top 10 movie-list back in 1982.
Would luv to see yur reaction to this song on rock in rio. The audience sings it to freddie. He said he was so moved by them singing. 95% of the audience doesn't speak English but they sang it for Freddie.
I can recommend "Is this the world we created" also with Freddie and Brian. You can find it as the closure of the "Live Aid" concert - but also elsewhere - check it out. It's worth it.
I hope you have watched The bands performance of "Somebody to Love" from the same concert.
If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you wear your seatbelt when you watch it.👍🎸🎶
Ballads? Who Wants to Live Forever love at Wembley which you’ve already done is fantastic, but Budapest is even better! Love of my Life in Rio or Wembley, You Take My Breath Away live in Hyde Park. And White Queen which you’ve already done at Hammersmith, there’s another great version at The Rainbow if you’re up for it
What a wonderful Song and a good reaction!
Very good reaction. It´s very interesting what you said about pain in Freddie´s voice.
GREAT reaction (and I have to echo the comments about Webley Stadium. I think he loved his audience most of all!)
I love your reactions - it brings tears to my eyes - as well as the performances - - thank you
but your videos are not in the right format - they are too slim and tall- can you do something about it?? You forget it because the music is so good - as well as the reactions - but maybe you could correct it?? Only the videos - not you, you look fine.
I just found you. What a lovely reaction, and even though I am obsessed with Queen, too, I will watch you react to other artists. You know music, your smart, and articulate!
Brian May also did a beautiful version of this song as a tribute to Freddie.
Really? Can I find it online?
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 yes, at least two different performances.
love your queen reaction
More Queen 👸🏻 please
there is also a brian may song with is fantastic called Too Much Love can Kill You.
Awesome
Believe me.. I GET it..... Freddie Mercury was unbelievable...
And I truly appreciate you mentioning Brian....
Must have tough when you're under SUCH A BRIGHT STAR....AS
FREDDIE... ALSO Roger Taylor and John Deacon....
Please watch....if you Truly Love Queen.... Somebody to Love
Montreal...
And there Simply is No Better Performance than Queen at
LIVE AID...✌️
It's a beautiful song and a fan fav at concerts
maybe it doesn't get requested as much is because its not the whole band playing
Freddie plays the piano on the album but it works well like this
Most places they sing with him or its back and forth
Its possible they weren't familiar with it but I think it was more of cross wires
Freddie said they don't know it after singing you don't know it,it's not as loud as a lot of concerts but you can hear them singing
but they do sing louder afterwards
in the commentary Roger and brian explain that the audience was generally quieter in some places but they had got used to the crowd joining in
also the security was tighter than usual,and the director was telling the crowd to be quieter...
I also noticed that hhe just sat there and sang
normally he pauses for them to join in or actually indicates to them
he didn't do this,so dispite Brian saying to join in they may have been confused if they should?
nevertheless a beautiful performance
Freddie composed this on piano and guitar,Brian played harp on the album
Brian then transcribed?the song to suit the 12 string guitar
You should react to the official video next of this song it was in the 70s it’s really good but all of the versions of this song are phenomenal
And also maybe react to play the game
Love of my life one of Freddies off the night of the opera album 1975 but not a single
and not performed on the tour
first live performance
77/78 tour news of the world
again on the Jazz tour 78/79
the Game 80/81
they went to montreal twice August 1980 for the first time then again for this Nov 81
And you realize that Queen have more than 200 songs, right? (some say about 350/370)...so you see you still have a lotttttttttttt of ground to cover in the Queen realm 😁😁😁
I have faith in you, so, speed ahead my friend 😁💯
Brian makes playing the 12 string look so easy
You would really enjoy, You Take My Breath Away.
Love this song but I like the version from Wembley in 1986 better. This is a beautiful song from Mary Austin's perspective when her and Freddie broke their engagement.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Brian May spielt auf einer 12 Seiten Gitarre 😊
The one in wembley is not even top 50, his voice was shot in that concert, he's range was decent but not great like this concert, compare his tone here and his range to that concert, this is 100 times better.
I highly recommend White Queen (live Odeon-Hammersmith 1975) czcams.com/video/f8usNj4x9NA/video.html It is breathtakingly fabulous. Also, You Take My Breath Away (live Hyde Park 1976) czcams.com/video/UBBne8R66xo/video.html. The most beautiful love song ever.
He wrote it for Mary
Yeah, try Wembley version, night and day
Freddie wrote this song for his girlfriend in the early days.
i get it, there is a dark side to Freddie and im not sure if he was ever 100% happy in his personal life.
5:37 What can be added to that girl eyes?
Wembley version is THE ONE ......
Nope...only if you’re a Brit would that one be the one. For many, the Rio one is THE ONE as the entire masses of ppl sing the entire song TO Freddie ANNNND Bri. The shear emotions that Freddie had as he’d stood there ‘n allow their voices wash him that way WAS magical. Especially when the audiance weren’t English speaking fans!
The Wembley 1986 version is sooo much better.
Nah, he's much better here vocally, he gets every high note here, and he's emotion and his expression is better here aswell.
Naw...you’re both mad! The Argentina or Rock in Rio versions are way better ‘cos of the audiance participation! I personally luv Freddie’s reaction at the Rio one...how he is washed with the voices of all the ppl there! THAT’s amazing!
