Interviewer: Freddie, you can play a lot of instruments, what's your favourite to play?
Freddie: The audience.
@@politicalscientist8880 He said the crowd Baby, the crowd ❤️
Interviewer: Do you want to be a rock star?
Freddie: No, I want to be a legend.
“Someone to Love” live in Montreal 1981. Even if you have heard the song, you haven’t heard it like this!! Incredible!!
💯👍
Totally agree! A must see.
One of the, if not THE greatest live performances of all time.
I’m not a crier but every time I watch this I 😢 😅
I agree this is most likely the greatest. For me number two would be the Hyde Park ELO concert. Just unbelievable.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Have you seen the somebody to love live at montreal 1981 video ? Fantastic my fave 100%
I fucking concur!! NOBODY get the crowd to do what he did. EVER.
This is THE best 20 minutes of live music ever EVER recorded. And this coming from a guy who loves Pink Floyd and Pulse 94. Freddie is the best frontman of any band....Ever.
@@danielkinn782 Definitely the GOAT
It becomes even more impressive when you think about the fact this wasn’t a Queen concert. It was Live Aid, which brought fans of all different kinds of artists. And yet, that whole entire stadium was rocking and captivated by Queen.
I think Elton John was on after them and said that he wasn't happy because he had to perform after that.
@@OutcastSpartan his exact words as they passed behind the stage was "you Basta*ds"
Another great Queen live performance is Somebody to love in Montreal 1981
My first concert - incredible!
@@maricepelletier2107 😍
Yes!!!
All of the Montreal concert is great!
Brian May is extremely rarely mentioned when speaking about the greatest rock guitarists ever. He’s AMAZING. A virtuoso by definition. It’s insane. Check out more!
His guitar tone is only matched by Santana and David Gilmour
Pinkkonk, do check out the Brian May interview on Rick Beato's channel. Really excellent.
I personally much prefer Gilmour as a guitarist. But you’re right, by definition, Sir Brian is a virtuoso
@@lisafayepranger8561Rick Beato’s channel is a treasure. His interview with Robert DeLeo is also fantastic
Freddie moved you- Freddie moved the world!!!
I was 15 when Live Aid was planned and I was determined to watch in all non stop and that's what I did 😂 Freddie had a throat infection and he performed against doctors orders saying 1.8 billion people around the world will be watching and Queen will be there darling. Freddie had 70,000 people and all the world in the palm of his hands especially during Hammer to Fall when he played the audience at home. He was the only artist to acknowledge the camera.. I was already a huge Queen fan and I watched they're performance with my Dad and him and many others became Queen fan Freddie at 70% is better than most at 100% . Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Fellow 15 year old here, same day, satellite Broadcast , into my little farmhouse in Oklahoma, watched all damn day, and night. Thanks Mom and Dad. ❤😂
I too was 15 then 😀 And my currently still 15-year-old Son will turn 16 on the 13th of July, Live Aid's 39th anniversary 😊
First live aid I watched on TV was 92, or 93
I watches on MTV and recorded it on vhs
@@christianwilliamson9752 my friend , to only know now what we had, ,and this generation will never know, ✌️🔥🤣
What kind of instruments do you play?
Freddie Mercury: "The crowd, darling."
One of the greatest experiences of my life! I had recently been stationed in Germany and jumped on a MAC flight to London for $10 and when we arrived at the stadium (in uniform) the officers running security at the stadium walked us inside for free and right next to the stage 🙏 Love to the King of Queen 🙏❤️
🫨🫨🫨😻🎸
😲😲😲
Wow!
What a dude
“About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar.” ~ Freddie
Live aid was to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia. I was 31 when I watched this concert never forgotten.
It raised over £50 million. A lot in those days.
When you consider it wasn’t a Queen gig it was a concert with many bands then it makes the audience participation even more impressive.
To answer your question. Freddie may have had in inkling that he wasn't well at this point but he didn't find out that he was HIV positive until 1987 (despite what the movie says, don't even get me started on that!). Also, Queen have always been a 4 piece band, it wasn't just Freddie then a band. They never officially split up but between 1982 and 1984 they had a little break and Freddie did indeed release a solo album, so did Roger. And again, despite what the movie says, Queen never "reformed" just for this gig. They had an album out the previous year, The Works, that had a full tour.
Yes, I've heard quite a few times that the movie isn't always sticking to the facts, so I decided to NOT watch it 😏
I didn’t like the movie very much. It wasn’t very accurate
@@mightyV444Movies are dramatisations, they don’t have to stick to fact per se. Or rather, they don’t have to stick to the correct timeline. Which was the case with Bohemian Rhapsody; it stuck for the most part, to fact, but re-jigged the timeline of events to fit the story they were telling.
Only documentaries “have” to stick to fact. It’s just a shame that a lot of folks don’t often make the distinction between the two mediums
@@mariannetuite7411 - Yeah, I definitely prefer actual documentaries. Movies like that one come across to me like the real story wasn't exciting enough to the producers and they felt the need to change it. It's fine with me if other people are okay with that, but I prefer authenticity myself 🙂
@@mightyV444oh, I 100% agree with you
Freddie hadn't been diagnosed with HIV at this stage, but his doctors had advised him not to do this concert as he had a throat infection. No way was he not going to do it though. He said after the concert that it had felt like he had glass in the back of his throat when he was singing. Definitely watch Somebody to Love at Montreal 1981- it is mesmerizing. Love your thoughtful and genuine reaction,
It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star.
“Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”
“It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world”
Their impact was summed up by Geldof. “Queen were absolutely the best band of the day,” the Live Aid organizer said. “They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full. They understood the idea exactly, that it was a global jukebox. They just went and smashed one hit after another. It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world.”
Freddie was the ultimate showman
Mesmerising - you just had to watch him.
Losing Freddie, was such a great loss to humanity. He will forever be missed by the world! RIP KIND MAN❤
I was 11 when he died, seeing my dad react as the news came across the radio will never leave me
I was there for Live Aid. It was an incredible day, but even at the time there was no doubt that Queen stole the show.
The guitarist (Dr Brian May) built that guitar with his dad using wood from an old fireplace.
Hes now a world renowned astrophysicist
Sir Brian May !!
SAW all The great ThrashDeathSpeed Metal Bands and Had The Chance too See Queen between 78-86 a few Times.QuadroSound in Hamburg '80 they Killing it
Yeah, and instead of a guitar pick he used and old sixpence, think he does to that day.
@@stephanx2384 he did... Now, I believe he has fake sixpences made with his face on cos the real ones are getting scarce.
Watch how Freddie "plays the crowd", they're eating out the palm of his hand! Fantastic performance.
Freddie (and Queen) were used to playing HUGE venues. They had just come off a world tour where they played in front of 115,000 people in South America. He knew he had to make huge, exaggerated gestures so everyone could see him.
Queen. Somebody to love. Live in montreal 1981. Just do it bruv!
On a side note, Lady Gaga loved Freddie Mercury so much, she named herself after the song Radio "Gaga"
Good job she didn't pick 'Fat Bottomed Girls'. I saw Live Aid when it was broadcast... amazing experience.
Queen Somebody To Love Live in Canada
Greatest frontman ever!
Freddie was a performer. He lived for the audience. What a showman. There will never be another like him.
When he has the microphone, he always seems like something magical between a ringmaster and a conductor, but an archetype, the original, timeless.
These are the days of our lives!!!!!! That will give you watery eyes bro
Hard to watch, but lovely.
Hands down the best performance ever!!! Queen and Freddie gave it everything they had that day, in 20+ mins😂 Freddie is still the goat
Each band had 20 minutes to perform...Queen had it down to the second!
You have a unique ability to just let these songs in.
Having such an open and curious mind combined with the ability to think critically about what you're seeing and hearing is quite a gift!
For me, it's what makes your channel so compelling.
Two more great Queen live performances:
Somebody to Love
and
Save Me
both live from Montreal 1981
And a third, since you enjoy massive audience participation
Love Of My Life [Rock In Rio '85]
☝️ this is a good recommendation
Love of My Life shows that Freddie does not always have to be his big. bombastic self. He just sits down and lets his voice carry one of the most beautiful songs he wrote, and Brian May's accompaniment brings me to tears every damn time. From one side of the spectrum to the other, pure brilliance....just another part of Queen's mastery.
Get your reactions to Queen out while you can. I'm sure you heard they sold their catalogue to Sony for $1.1 - $1.2 billion!!
Somebody To Love in Montreal, 1981 is a MUST if you haven't seen it yet.
I’m probably going to butcher this but an interviewer once asked Freddie “what is your favorite instrument to play?” And he replied:
“The crowd, baby”. Classic.
You have to give it to the whole band. Freddie had amazing band mates. All super talented and had great voices themselves! Brian May is one of a kind 😊
He was the greatest showman ever. Saw Queen in Wembley 1986.......❤
Can I also say, good on you for calling out those who claim to have 'never heard Queen before' and fake reaction videos. Your reactions to Radio Gaga, Hammer to Fall (the best rocking song ever about the theme of 'we're all going to die', by the way!) and 'Crazy little thing called love' were so clearly genuine.
Just wanted to say, when you watch this again, note how Dr Sir Brian May PhD plays 3 different guitars in 'Crazy little thing'!
And Roger Taylor's vocals are amazing! He doesn't get enough recognition for his role in Queen's Live Aid performance. When you watch 'Somebody to love' from Montreal 1981, you'll see Roger in all his glory!
And the way Freddie simply worships at the greatness that are Brian's solos (especially in 'Hammer to Fall') show the humility of the man. He knew Brian was one of the greats.
Finally, don't take the film version of Queen's history as the truth - it isn't. It's more a 'representation' of the group's history in film form.
Keep going down that Queen rabbit hole, especially live. You won't be disappointed. (My brother saw them at Knebworth in 1986, but I couldn't go - bitter, me? Hell yes! I would have given my right arm to have seen Queen live!). I was 18 when Live Aid happened. I feel 18 again every time I watch this footage. RIP Freddie.
This performance never gets old! It was either Bowie or Elton John who said to Freddie after this performance “geez Freddie how are any of us going to follow that!”
Freddie was not diagnosed with AIDS until April l987. He performed with this level of energy at all his concerts. I am excited for you to go down the Queen rabbithole. I've been watching your reactions for a while and am a fan. Suggestions: "Love of My Life at Rio", 1985 if you want to see 150,000 people singing a Queen song. Concerts: (so many available) Rock Montreal 1981, Milton Keynes, 1982, Wembley 1986. For early Queen: The Rainbow, 1974, The Odeon Hammersmith, 1975. Songs: Ogre Battle, White Queen, Liar, Father to Son, Son and Daughter.
Although he wasn’t diagnosed yet the throat infection was probably related. HIV/AIDS has a 10 yr incubation period
@@pattym444Not the point
Don’t question why a piece of music makes you emotional, ride it.
Music is meant to be evocative, to make us feel. It’s a blessing to find something that does that. That we connect to that deeply
I cry at some point during every live performance I’ve ever seen
Spot on! 👍
You ought to check out the video of the crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody before the Green Day concert. If you want to get chills, this will do it. Queens music will never die..
I saw Queen live in Hyde Park at your age 24. I lived in a flat share in Ennismore Gardens and my local pub was the George IVth in Montpelier Square. I was going there one evening after work when a black cab drew up outside John Reid's house (manager of Queen and Elton John at the time) and out leapt Freddie Mercury!
One of the BEST if not THE BEST live performances ever ❤️❤️
It’ll never get old, it spans decades and generations and you’d be hard pressed to find a single person who wouldn’t enjoy it.
Magic!
Nobody did it like Freddie! The most Unique Frontman in Rock history!! I love ❤️ Queen!! My regret was not going to see them! RIP Freddie 🙏 may you be pain free & rest. ❤❤️〽️
I was conceived at a Queen concert. A fact my father was oddly proud of 😅
@@mariannetuite7411That's beautiful 😍 ❤
Conceived to Freddie, named after Mick Jagger’s girlfriend.. my fate was sealed 🤘🏻
Not my favorite Singer but I agree, he was/is the GOAT 🫶🏻
@@mariannetuite7411😂😅
If you want to know more about Live Aid, watch the Africa Lives BBC 2 part documentary on you tube. 1st part looks at why the concert was put together and the 2nd part is the concert itself. Very, very interesting watch.
I was 10 at the time of Live Aid and it’s still the best day of music I can recall. It was a one of a kind and will never be repeated.
Queen were the outstanding! Always were. Really glad you got round to this vid.
Yes, the impact of this at the time was far greater than most people today can imagine. So many live concerts going on in so many countries & being broadcast globally. If I guessed 3/4 of the population of humanity on the planet was watching. I might be exaggerating. But if I'm off, it wouldn't be by much. & It's just as likely that I'm under counting as it is that I'm over counting. Truly, this was a global event. & Very important to music & history.
Go watch their Wembley 86 entire concert. You will love it if you love live aid. Thank you for the reaction video.😊
The greatest set in rock history no one can match this.
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
Freddie was and always will be the greatest Frontman of all time!
Dude, Freddie is regarded as the absolute #1 vocalist as judged by many
And the greatest frontman by miles. Absolutely magical being
As I recall, this is when Queen’s popularity had dropped off a little bit. 2 minutes into this set Freddie had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Such a great front man and powerful voice.
And Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor are brilliant musicians. Don’t forget to give them some love.
So many great songs to choose from. Stone Cold Crazy, Death on Two Legs, Play the Game and Who Wants to Live Forever are some of my personal favorites.
If you talk to the band they will say it was all Freddie but we all know that it takes four men to make this magic.
They couldn't hear anything on stage, they were such professionals that all they needed was a look , a turn of the head, and they knew what to do.
Simply Freddie was the greatest musical performer ever.
You should check out "somebody to love" live in Montreal!
With 300 million records sold I guarantee you have not heard them all 😂 Great reaction Thankyou.
Everyone knows at least one Queen song little brother, thats a measure of their cultural impact.
Good review.
Watched this Live as it happened, yes I am that old. Queen just wandered on and stole the show with an astounding performance.
Freddie hadn't even been diagnosed as HIV+ yet at this time. That he knew he was sick is what was said in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie but that was done for the sake of keeping the movie going and creating empathy for the audience. The movie is cramming 20 years into 2 hours so the time line really suffered in the movie. It was not a documentary so things like timeline really weren't all that important. Great concert, Freddie had the audience eating out of his hand from the very start. Live Aid was aid for famine in Ethiopia. Queen never split off until Freddie died. They did take a little time off because they were burnt out from constantly touring and producing albums year after year with no time off. The band had actually done some touring earlier in this same year so they were not broken up. Queen songs you probably haven't heard that are great I would suggest March Of The Black Queen (studio version), White Queen, live at Odeon, Hammersmith 1975, You Take My Breath Away live at Hyde Park, Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981 and Innuendo (studio version) for starters. There is so much great Queen music. There are over 200 songs in the Queen catalog and then there are all the live performances so buckle up! Thank you for your reaction.
Freddie was an amazing musician, singer and performer who could engage with his audience like no other. OMG my wife is the most fanatical Queen freak. She can quote you any facts about any member of the band. Don't get her started!
I am beyond blessed to have seen Queen live
‘’Radio Gaga” will forever be the MOST incredible live performance ever! They had the huge audience totally wrapped around their fingers, incredible❤️🤓
You know ... Lady GAGA ?
@@jamesbondbond8388yep! She took her name from this song.
Not only Radio Gaga but everything Queen does esp.wen Freddie does live n plays an audience...Once Freddie was interviewed
Interviewer: What is your favourite instrument to play???
Freddie: An Audience 😮😮😮
The smile on your face says it all !! Freddie was so talented no one like him 😢 🤧
My dad always said this band was the reason I have such a deep love for rock music. I was literally created at a Queen show 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At or after? 😅😅😅
During? In front of everyone?
Or backstage?
At a.k.a during.
I doubt they got up on stage and made a show of themselves in front of everyone 🤣 But the story I was told is that they were in the venue and the show was in full swing.
You have to listen to more live performances of Queen. They're the best!!!!
In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you have already heard the song, that doesn't mean you took the time to appreciate the artistry. Please do more Queen reactions. Be honest if you've already heard it, but take a deeper dive into the song. You're doing an awesome job, dude. Keep it up!! Much love from Mississippi.
The greatest single live performance ever
This is how queen was in all their concerts.
Freddie had a really bad sore throat when he gave this amazing performance before the entire worlds.
I was working that day, but finished in time to catch this on TV. But I was lucky enough to see them at Wembley Arena in 1984 on The Works tour, then again about 20 months later at Milton Keynes Bowl.
I had a little personal interaction with Brian and Freddy. I'd broken my ankle and had crutches. I was using one to air guitar during Tie Your Mother Down, and as we were right by the stage on the wing, Brian saw me, gave Freddie a nudge and they both gave me the "thumbs up".
It's still the best gig I ever went to, and I've been to hundreds.
I ❤️ this story
@@mariannetuite7411 Thank you.
Queen and Freddie Mercury are one of a kind . RIP FREDDIE ❤️❤️❤️
RIP Freddie! The world was blessed to have him here!
The man could barely walk at the time, and hit that stage and pulled every ounce energy from every cell in his body ,because this gathering meant that much to him. Fucking incredible 🤘
I was 16 when I watched live aid on TV ….a concert I’ll never forget it was massive,!! Thank you Freddie for this amazing performance ❤ RIP you beautiful soul Ax
Really great reaction! Live Aid was a global fundraiser to help fight famine in Ethiopia. 16 hours of music broadcast from Wembley and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia in 20 minute sets, you just watched the best 20 minutes of all the performances. 39 years later I still get goosebumps. There's a short song performed by Freddie and Brian on the acoustic guitar later that evening called Is this the World We Created. 👑
You’re actually doing the FULL SHOW!! 🎉 More power to you. Feel like you are really there.
Too bad the video cut off the last song performed by Brian and Freddie later that night.
I’ll keep on saying it. Kid! We had some incredible music. Written by musicians, played by musicians. Music today is a shallow excuse. I say that not because I’m old and dated. I say it as a music lover who still has his ears. Enjoy the ride.
I'll never forget seeing this for the first time. I had just arrived home from an Open University Summer School in 1985, switched on the TV and the Live Aid Coverage was just starting. Status Quo were the openers, followed by this Queen performance that stole the entire show, despite loads of bands and famous faces appearing during the rest of the day and night on both sides of the Atlantic. "Hammer to Fall" is one of my favourite Queen songs. It was featured among other Queen classics on the soundtrack of the movie "Highlander".
I really enjoy watching the crowd sing Bohemian Rhapsody at the Green Day show.
This makes me feel like I have a fever. Literally shivering. The reason that happens is great music makes your brain release dopamine and makes you literally high, so does chocolate.
Crowd participation is a spiritual experience. I've cried many times at gigs during mass singalongs and I've gone to see bands at festivals for the only reason that I knew there would be mass singalongs, even though I wasn't really a fan. The feeling of unity with thousands of people through music is indescribable :)
Queen live from Wembley 🎼🎸🎤 In the lap of the gods, One vison, It’s a kind of magic…. 🤘🏻
I was there on the day and Queen stole the show, considering who else shared the stage that day nobody came close. An epic performance and masterclass in showmanship. Freddie will never be beaten.
The second song Radio Gaga is where Lady Gaga took ger name so the story goes.
So pleased you have now seen this performance, everyone deserves to see it at least once. I was 6 when this happened and remember seeing it and although I knew the event was something important at the time i didn't realise just how special it would become for the legacy of Freddie. RIP
A story I heard about Freddie's battle with AIDS came near the end. It was their last album and they were recording "The Show Must Go On".
Supposedly Freddie was sitting, slumped in a corner drinking massive amounts of whisky , because it was the only thing that kept his body moving through all the pain.
The time came for him to record his part and his bandmates told him he could wait and do it when he felt better. Freddy stood up straight and said "I'm going to fucking nail it Dahling.". And he did.... In one take. After which he slumped back into his corner. He died a few months later.
I have no way to prove this story. But when it comes to Freddie Mercury, I believe it.
Freddie didn't drink whisky, he would down Vodka.
Famine in Ethiopia. Saw them live in 1976, in Portland Oregon. Delivered a pizza and espresso to their private plane too. Met everyone in the band except, Freddie.
This performance was 20 minutes that changed the world....amazing!!! And yes Fereddie had a fever and was told not to perform by his doctor that afternoon. Instead he took the stage and owned both crowds, in England and also in New York on the broadcast screens. The crowd followed his every move on Radio Gaga in both arenas. The man was amazing to watch, and hear. BTW Freddie and Brian came back out later that night to do an improptu performance of "is this the world we created?" because one of the acts were running late....
Great reaction it warms my heart to watch your generation grow to love this group and I'm an old lady who's been a fan since 1971 when they formed.
All the band are educated to degree and higher, all played multiple instruments all have written number one songs all are in American and British halls of rock fame.
There once was a new female singer who loved this group and used one of their songs as her stage name,she was lady Gaga. They influenced Micheal Jackson,boy George and George Michael and many others.
He didn't know he had Aids till 87 but your right he was sick here, he had an on going problem with his throat and was told by his doctor not to perform and the same by the doctor back stage at live aid,but he would never let an audience down. The gig was to raise money for a fammine in Africa.
They never forget that their fans made them remaining humble and grateful till the end. Freddie had to stop touring the last tour was in 86,but he continued to write as did the others and make videos until a few months before his death, despite pain, loosing half a foot and calf, being so thin and not able to sustain he body temperature. In fact he left vocals and music to the band so they could finish it even though he knew he would be dead by then.
All the band was deverstated when he died they had spent 4 years lying and protecting him from the press because of the hateful way the press and others dealt with him being ill. Only family and close friends knew it was AIDS and he announced it generally the day before he died. When he was blind and unable to sing he stopped all meds and slipped away. To be gay and sick with aids in the 80s was a death sentence and misunderstood by the public. Song to check.
Liar live at the rainbow 1974 watch them rock and it has some of the best solos.
Now I'm here live at Wembley one of the last performances and it was an electric show
I want it all studio video,made so close to his death he could no longer hold a mic or move around, but they never forget how to rock.
Somebody to love his favourite song and his mum's live at Milton Keynes 82. there is always something special when they perform in England
That's a few,they made 14 albums so there plenty to choose from you'll have such fun and you views will rocket.
I've subscribed,shared etc can't wait for the next one. There so much more to say,they never broke up although all but John had thriving solo albums. Right if your not asleep 😴 by now I'll leave it there. Good luck xx
Freddie was a True Icon and the Li e Aid performances were amazing. We set aside the entire weekend. ❤😊
Freddie Mercury & Rob Halford.
Two best frontmen and vocalists
Music that speaks to you will always make you emotional. That’s why we love it
Its amazing an almost 40 year old performance songs, stage presence etc still captures people...Freddy was the ultimate performer, and a voice for the ages.
The other reactions aren’t necessarily “faking”. I’ve seen plenty where they admit half way thru: “oooooh!!! This is a Queen song?! Everybody knows this!”
That’s why when someone says they’ve never heard Queen, I say: yes, you have. You just don’t know it.
Regardless, Freddie is the absolute greatest of all time. Keep in mind that this wasn’t even a Queen concert. They almost didn’t even play at all. But Freddie stole the show. It’s often referred to as the greatest live performance of all time. He looooooved the people. Truly adored his fans. That’s something that cannot be faked and every person felt it.
The whole world darkened the day he left this earth. That light will never be replaced. Ever.
Rest in Peace, Freddie. ♥️
So emotional to watch now, but still love this performance!! In Radio Gaga, I always lose it because I like to believe this was one of Freddie's finest hours❤
I’m 57 and my eyes tear up as he just hits you in your deepest emotions..
it brought down the house then, and still does. We can feel it. That magic that touches you. He was a special one.
Freddie was the king of stage presence
NOBODY Could command an Audience like Freddie could, he was simply an amazing performer. Before Queen he was in a Liverpool band called The Ibex and he actually lived for a short time in Penny Lane, made famous by The Beatles. Where he stayed is still there, that was in 1969. Queen were formed in 1970 and the rest is History 👍🎸
Hi MollyBoy yet another great reaction vid, thanks mate. Oh man, what can I say, except this brings back so many incredible memories of what turned out to be one of the best days of my life. I was there in Wembley stadium 6 rows back from the stage, standing next to the girl in the black top on the guys shoulders. When I look at my 32 year old self rockin out with the rest of the crowd, I get goosebumps all over. I've witnessed many great live performances from top bands over the years, but this one by Queen has to be the best ever. Thank you so much for this reaction, now I'm going to sit and watch it all over again.

I saw Queen several times beginning in 1975, fell in love. Still in love 50 years later. They were THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME. Nobody could come close to them, especially live, especially the charisma Freddie has on stage was out of this world.
Wish we still had Freddie in this world. Think of what we missed out on all these years.
Each band that day was given a period of time to perform. Queen got like 22 minutes, and they stole the show! I saw them twice in concert in the early 80s and they were unbelievable!!
First time an artist/vox intersects with a cameraman in "Hammers to Fall" n once Freddie was interviewed
Interviewer: What is your favourite instrument to play live???
Freddie: An Audience 😮😮😮
