Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever - LIVE at Wembley 1986 REACTION (This is incredible)

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Saw an article today on Yahoo that listed the best 30 singers of all time...our guy Freddie was #1 💖🤗

[@queenmaryamfm4ever361]

As he should be darling, as he should be!! God how I miss him, but how incredibly blessed we all were & are that he shared his beautiful gift with us!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ RIP dear Freddie, I miss u & will love u forever!!

[@yerviniansamvel]

There is his place

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

I was in the crowd when they sung this in 1986 at Wembley (and at Knebworth too) and we all stayed silent as we just wanted to hear the song and Freddie completely blew it out of the park. I was 16 and am now 50 and he's my hero, always has been, always will be RIP Freddie my love

[@BradSteele]

Jo_Jo Lambrini must have been amazing to be there!

[@jaidenobrien]

You're incredibly lucky to have seen them live! I'm envious! Lol

[@dezperez1998]

Oh my lucky you darling...

[@yerviniansamvel]

Wow,you are so lucky

[@denisepallin5316]

You are so lucky! I was 16 at the time but in the USA and not in the cards. Would’ve loved to be there 💛

[@joannedarley1893]

Nobody can tug my heart strings like Freddie, there are quite a few Queen songs that make me cry and this particular version is one of them. It's a little strange because the recorded version doesn't, I think it's because of what Freddie brings to a live version, he makes you feel the emotion and passion in the song.

[@BradSteele]

Joanne Darley I can definitely see what you mean!

[@dianefowler8779]

Yes, Joanne, the emotion and passion come through from all of them, but especially Freddy. Nothing like it.

[@joannedarley1893]

@@dianefowler8779 You are so right, there is nothing like it.

[@SirWusk]

Would you look at that

[@dianefowler8779]

This is a song where you could hear a pin drop in the background, everyone is mesmerized by Freddie. By the way, Brian May is a fabulous guitar player, others can sound louder or noisier or faster, but Brian's guitar sings and cries for us, so full of emotion that travels from his heart, through his fingers, to the strings!

[@BradSteele]

Diane Fowler yes! Brian May is an American treasure!

[@MargotRecabarren]

There’re so many magic moment with Queen and Freddie..! What a voice..! He captured my feelings with the force of his interpretation......... he stole all the hearts of the audience... he stole my heart too 💔

[@melissacurtis7216]

This is one of my favorite live performance by Queen. His vocals on this song gives me chills.

[@delainepep22]

They all wrote great songs

[@eileenanderson2016]

What can i say this was an absolute dream to watch and hear.nobody does it better😘

[@queenmiriam3058]

Beautiful! No words

seen queen back in the day love how u younger folks feel what i felt yrs ago!!!

[@dianefowler8779]

If the thousands and thousands of fans here had known Freddie would be gone so soon, the field would have been filled with tears!

[@bettybaby63]

This song is fabulous. Brian’s song writing is often taken for granted, but he’s soooo good. And add Freddie to the mix and the performance enters the zone. Friday night show has some of The best performances. I also love crazy little thing from that night. This observation sums it up well. “The other members of Queen wrote songs-often great songs-but it was Freddie who sold them.”

[@BradSteele]

bettybaby63 couldn’t have said it any better myself!

[@bettybaby63]

Roger & Freddie’s vocals really complimented each other so well. They would decide before the show how much roger would support Freddie.

[@simonfarrimond3664]

dont know if its been mentioned before but when brian is playing the piano he already has his guitar on his lap and strap so when he gets up from the piano he can play straight away hence in the video one minute hes sitting then a few seconds later he is playing guitar

[@golddalekwho5944]

I was at the Saturday concert in 86 at Wembley. Yep. The Magic Tour. Yes it was brilliant but at the time I took it for granted , thinking FM would be around for much longer. Oh for a time machine to go back to that Saturday in July in 1986.

[@terrilabeth7366]

Freddie Mercury is THE person I would bring back for 24 hours and spend time with him. So he could experience life as it is today and his reaction to social media and so everybody could hear him one more time. Please watch the One Vision documentary, it has it all. An insight to how they created music together, it is funny, the message to the song is special. It is wonderful!! Oh and it was very common for Freddie to sing the lower parts while on tour and so many parts in his range when they were in studio. If you consider it they would go in studio, produce an album, and then go on these long tours. Over and over again. Grueling schedule, so Freddie taking the lower parts makes sense to save his voice. Especially when you have Roger Taylor to take those higher parts so well!! ❤️ ❤️ 🔥 🔥 ❤️ ❤️

[@lollinelson5549]

Absolutely Epic!

[@barbaraanne5258]

In my opinion, this is the best version.....so beautiful!!

[@jenniferguerra9441]

Omg I so love Freddie Mercury ❤️ I was just a lil girl at the time but so wish I was old enough to have enjoyed a concert,, truly the best !

[@rogeriogrande8181]

THANKS for all those brillant reactions...

[@lbca81]

This looks like the Saturday concert. The Friday concert, same set list, done completely in the rain. Freddie is sick both nights. The Friday concert is my fav, it is so loose, they look like they are having a blast.

[@florenciasilviaparis]

He was a force of nature

[@delainepep22]

Last year they performed live. Still did studio work almost till he passed. Mother love was the last vocals of Freddies Brian had to finish the song as Freddie passed away. His vocals were fine till the end.

[@MargotRecabarren]

Thanks for your beautiful reaction!

[@Ein_Schachdude]

I really liked your reaction. You asked for more vocal life performances. I think you picked already the best one by watching to somebody to love live at Montreal '81. But from this concert you really should check out save me and I'm in love with my car (Roger on drums and singing this song - a fantastic performance). Dragon attack from this concert is an amazing instrument performance of the whole band. And now I go and check out if you liked somebody to love...

[@marilyngrayson3285]

Starting to CRY NOW MG can't help it

[@GoldAndDangerous]

This was from the Friday concert. At the Saturday concert he hit some of the higher notes in this song. I can recommend listening to the whole concert (the Saturday concert was the best, if you ask me).

[@dianefowler8779]

Today I played a CD and heard Sarah Brightman sing this song, and she did it full justice!

[@queenremix1353]

Another awesome reaction, can you also react to , Dragon Attack/Now I'm Here (Reprise) (Queen In Buenos Aires 1981, another excellent performance by them, instruments are on fire 🔥 and Freddie's voice in his peak, he does some of his best runs.

[@BradSteele]

provenwrong I’ll see what I can do!

[@patgallagher6762]

Love this song ,can you react to queen ,in my defence ,and innuendo ,love innuendo for the changes in tempo and instrumentation ,thank you ,stay safe ,from Liverpool UK x

[@csabycsaby7631]

Like You Brad!!!

[@patriciakent6728]

Whitney was the woman and Freddie Mercury was the man. You can play nothing but clean for me. Thank you😍😊

[@patriciakent6728]

I think the audience pause at the last part of the song was because they were listening😊😊😊

[@shagster2555]

You just got a new subscriber! React to some more live performances like another one bites the dust wembley 1986(Saturday night) One Vision from wembley(I would suggest friday night) Under pressure (Saturday night) These are some good performances to start with Will suggest more throughout. Good luck

[@BradSteele]

I am DONE thanks so much!!!

[@patriciaweatherspoon1262]

The song was written for the movie Highlander.

[@nickwall2497]

There are loads of examples of Freddie going lower and Rog taking the high note. There is a gig with freds voice busted and rog singing alot. But the band just play harder and better at times

[@sannaolsson9106]

I absolutely love this performance. One of my favorited. bout the notes thing, this is how he always sang this live. I don't think it mattered if his voice was in great shape or not, that's how he sang it live. Same with Bohemian Rhapsody when he sang "so you think you can live me and leave me to die" In the recording he went up on the word die, which he basically never did live. Speaking of that song, please react to the live version also from Wembley ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/paDde3tsn7ilaLc

[@queenremix1353]

He did the c5 Phrasing on Bohemian Rhapsody several times. Newcastle 1979, Glasgow 1979, a few other shows as well.

[@sannaolsson9106]

@@queenremix1353 Ok but it wasn't a normal ocurrence

[@queenremix1353]

@@sannaolsson9106 No I agree, he didn't attempt as much as he could have done. According to sources the c5 on die has only been done 6 times.

[@BradSteele]

Sanna Olsson yes I’ve noticed that on live versions of Bohemian Rhapsody!

[@Ghostgirl99x]

It is haunting. "There can be only one..."

[@Ghostgirl99x]

For those who don't know. The Highlander.

[@Janetjrfan]

This song was written for the soundtrack of the movie Highlander which was about a man who was immortal, couldn't die and yet the woman he fell in love with lived and died a normal life. Very poignant.

[@BradSteele]

Janetjrfan yes indeed. The perfect song for Freddie

[@nickwall2497]

This is from the 11th July show, the next day is better and what is part of the Wembley 86 dvd

[@lauriemcmillan9920]

Have you seen the video by The Tenors the song who wants to live forever it is really good you should check it out! It's really good

[@mattroxursoul]

Did you know Brian May has never missed a note? Amazing I know

[@EatonRon]

Another great is of course Stevie Wonder and for some unfathomable reason youtube has almost no reactions to him. ??? Could you please? Really enjoying your reactions dude!

[@queenremix1353]

Honestly the note Roger hit was only a4, not that high to be honest, and he's only using the same chest voice as Freddie is.

[@shagster2555]

Yes it is not high for roger.... And not for freddie as well But still considering his voice has gone deeper compared to the early 80s and constant touring It is necessary to save the voice so that he can go through the whole set and not worn out his voice.

[@queenremix1353]

@@shagster2555 Actually in some parts Freddie's voice seems higher in this performance than the studio, in 1.50 mark he even lifts his feet up and the sound and power he creates is earthly.

Can you react to KZ Tandingan (Rolling in the Deep) on the singer. By the way i love your reaction..

[@nyima04011]

This performance is epic indeed. What about Freddie wasn't? Adam Lambert will never have the personality Freddie had, but challenges him on the voice. Everyone should check out Adam's performance the day after the Orlando club shooting in '16. Brian said he's never heard it sung so well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJSQcqCmfrt9ja8
