Yes, have been trying to figure patreon out. But I'm a boomer watching on Xbox. When I do, you'll be the first to know. Keep up the good work 👍

[@CelcaReact]

@@coreywilliams923 dont worry we are also new to all these extra sites connected to youtube and so.

[@janetschulman8998]

John is keeping that wonderful riff going. It keeps it hopping

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

I'm glad they showed every band member here, it takes all of them to be Queen.

[@blastingweevil2968]

i would give everything i own to be able to go back and watch queen live in concert again....been to 100's of music concerts and festivals but nothing ever compared to a queen concert... you could feel the electricity in the air......

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Great song, great live performance and I also love the official video, that's very funny.

[@theresarandall7448]

❤❤❤❤❤😊😊John's bassline is great

[@sherryheim5504]

I love this performance of this song. This is a Roger Taylor composition for the Queen soundtrack for the movie Highlander, I believe.

[@bluebell3720]

His version is in the film Freddie changed it for the single/ album But they usually change most songs again for concert

[@coreywilliams923]

Welcome back to the Queen train, we have missed you. This is one of their best performances. I would love to see you do Brighton Rock from Live Killers. IMO the best live track from anyone ever. Audio only tho.

[@CelcaReact]

Ty. We already have done Brighton rock, just on Wembley. Ty for watching 👍

[@coreywilliams923]

​@@CelcaReact re: Brighton Rock, they don't do the whole track at Wembley, nor does it include Roger on kettle drums. Believe me, the Live Killers version is an entirely different experience.

[@HaraldOliwen]

Ihr solltet euch von Queen: Cool Cat anschauen! Da sind nur Freddie Mercury & John Deacon der alle Instrumente spielte!

[@peggyh8937]

So nice to see you back to Queen! Great reaction as usual! Take care.

This song is an example of how Queen can change the arrangement of a song and make it totally different. "A Kind Of Magic", composed by Roger, is part of the score that Queen wrote for the film "Highlander". The phrase “a kind of magic” is used in the "Highlander" film by the Connor MacLeod character (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: “one prize, one goal”; “no mortal man”; and “there can be only one”. The single’s cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the film’s villain, The Kurgan. Roger wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian described as “quite lugubrious and heavy”. But Freddie became a bit obsessed with the song. He really liked it but heard it differently in his head. So while Roger was on holiday, Freddie changed the song. He composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song’s order to make it more chart-friendly. Then he produced this new version. Though the song is still credited solely to Roger, he was still annoyed when he returned from holiday and found that Freddie had changed his song. In the end, he admitted it sounded better and more rock and roll, Roger's original version can be heard in the movie but Freddie's arrangement of the song is the one that Queen released and is the version that they performed live. Here is the Roger Taylor arrangement of "A Kind Of Magic" (Highlander Version) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWnQoJWYgNF1iq8.

[@topmandog1]

actually, roger wrote a song that was converted into 2 by freddie, so the writing credits go to both, there is a demo song called its a kind of vision that shows a demo of it, freddie helped spilt it into kind of magic and one vision, as you can see in the one vision documentary he did alot of lyrics in one vision

[@Sassypaws4927]

@@topmandog1 Sorry but you are confused. Freddie rearranged the song "A Kind Of Magic" but the band collectively rewrote the song that became "One Vision:. You should watch the video about the making of "One Vision" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqTWgZyqp9aCjq8

[@topmandog1]

@@Sassypaws4927 the band collectively works on every song technically but Freddie did most the lyric rework for one Vision as seen in the video

Good to see you both, hoping family life is going great! I love this song live, Wembley shows were 🔥

[@GinMae]

Thanks, kids! When the album came out with this song, I was not that impressed, but then when I saw it LIVE, I "got it".. Queen has been my love for decades (cuz I'm old).. but I really love seeing younger people begin to appreciate them.. I love your reaction.. and look forward to more..

I listened to this song relentlessly so I could play it on drums as Roger Taylor was my inspiration for learning.

[@bettybaby63]

Hello, happy new year🎉🎉 Great request.

[@CelcaReact]

Happy new year. Ty so much!

[@Matt-lg1te]

A great reaction, welcome back. The 4 members of Queen done a great tight set here but I thought Brian's guitar was on fire.. Cheers.

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

Talking about advertising, Queen recently sold their catalog of music to Sony for $1.2 billion. That's the power Queen still has.

[@LMTino]

What fun to see you back at the board! Wembley here was the beginning of their last live concerts. By chance did you see the global release late January in IMAX of Queen Rock Montreal 1981? Digitally remastered and gorgeous - when you see the line up, song after song, it is WILD. Keep an eye out as it may return or be out in some form. Hello to the baby!

[@juliannetomlinson]

Deacy on bass just great.

[@CelcaReact]

Always!

Missed your Queen reactions.

Por lo que se ve en el video, quizás el poner los platillos esos al revés era precisamente para lo que hace con ellos, y eso quizás no se puede hacer con el mismo resultado de sonido si estuviesen al revés. Quizás por el balanceo que tendrían cuando se tocan "como una campana", y si están puestos al revés pues ya no se moverían igual aun golpeándolos parecido, porque siempre sería un movimiento resultante de equilibrio entre el golpe recibido y la gravedad. De mientras, el balanceo hasta volver a quedarse en el punto de equilibrio. Creo que en realidad todo es cuestión de frecuencias (como no puede ser siempre al menos) si hablamos sobre sonido audible. Luego, creo que hay cosas que pueden estar en otras explicaciones. Por ejemplo, lo que le hace sentir cierta música a algunos. Pues eso no creo que sea tanto sobre "frecuencias" solamente. Es algo mucho más complicado. Es como si quisieras explicar con palabras o ponerle números matemáticos a la explicación de "enamorarse de alguien". No se pudo nunca ni se esperaría por nadie... pero son cosas que van unas unidas a las otras, como siempre... La música creo que es algo un tanto curioso. Se pueden usar las matemáticas para explicarla, expresarla o escribirla? Supongo que técnicamente si, pero sólo se podría sobre las frecuencias, tonos sus tiempos relativos entre sí. Y no por eso sentiría alguien algo distinto al quienes ya lo sienten "como por instinto". Porque lo sienten y más o menos, reconocen a los que también. Pues como siempre ha sido en todas partes desde siempre, a su manera... nada nueeeeeevo

[@hkynuts11]

This was written for Highlander movie. Part of the trilogy with Who Wants to Live Forever and Love of My Life.

[@markpalmer7215]

Sorry if I misinterpreted your comment but Love of my life wasnt written for Highlander, that was composed for A night at the opera 11 years earlier

[@hkynuts11]

Somebody to Love, live in Milton Keynes is completely different from Montreal. Freddie sings a blues version.

Is this Wembley? I know they played there the day before Live Aid

[@CelcaReact]

yes it is Wembley :)

[@topmandog1]

this is from the 1986 magic tour

[@markpalmer7215]

They didn’t play Wembley before live aid. Live aid was 1985, this was one year later 2 gigs there as part of magic tour
