Incredible performance by all of the band on this one. Freddie totally nailed it. Thank you for your reaction.

[@StaxReacts]

So good!

[@lollinelson5549]

Best reaction ever. Thanks for sharing. This song means so much to Freddie Mercury and Queen fans. Freddie said it was his most favorite song he had written. It was heavily influenced by Aretha Franklin and church gospel sounds. To see it still affects people almost 50 years later is a testament to Freddie and Queen. Thanks for reacting.

[@StaxReacts]

Thank you so much

[@crazeered71]

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you knock a live performance out of the ball park

[@StaxReacts]

🔥🔥🔥

[@TenCapQuesada]

If you look closely at 5:08 you will see Freddie look back to where Brian has gone to the rear of the stage to fix a problem with his guitar, which is why Freddie keeps up the audience connection until at 5:40 he looks back to check on Brian again, sees he's coming forward to resume his place and continues with the main song. So seamlessly done you'd hardly notice. That's professionalism!

[@Wrkill22]

Yep, he broke a string and went to the side of the stage to fix it - and you would *never* know, it all flows so well.

[@LesleyHarford]

What a beautiful reaction ❤ You are a sensitive beautiful person. ❤ Queen are legends

[@StaxReacts]

Thank you ❤️

[@cindydegraaff5083]

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that the second time Freddy jumps up from the piano and he and Roger ( the drummer) interact a bit with the audience, Brian May walks to the back of the stage. He had broken a guitar string, and the other band members just improvised until he had replaced it and returned to the stage. True professionals!

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

👏👏👏 Thanks for this emotional reaction, you made my day. Freddie was a huge fan of Aretha Franklin, and he wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha. Queen was a uniqe rock band, because they wrote their songs in very different genres from metal to jazz, to pop, etc. music (cca. 200 songs) and Freddie Mercury could sing all of them effortless, though he was an untrained singer, never took singing lessons.

[@StaxReacts]

Thank you so much

This is from Queen rocks Montreal 1981 it's an entire full concert film available on KZbin and the whole show kicks ass. They were in their absolute prime. You should check it out if you liked that.

[@StaxReacts]

Amazing

[@dramaqueen6G]

I saw the IMAX version of this that came to movie theaters a month or two ago. It lifted the performance to a whole new level.

[@gailgreet-wheeler933]

[@StaxReacts]

I’m so happy you enjoyed

[@melissakozusko9244]

Ahhhhh I’m so glad you did this one. It’s perfection. I’m sure it’s already on your list but in case not, do their full performance at Live Aid. It’s another great performance.

[@StaxReacts]

Great suggestion!

I said this in your last Queen reaction, but doubling down here - I'm looking forward to you discovering how many Queen songs you know...like Another One Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You, We are the Champions, Crazy Little Thing Called Love..to start.

[@StaxReacts]

[@trinasp]

By far, this is the best live performance. The only thing that comes close is all the other live performances by Queen. Thanks for going down the Queen rabbit hole. You will not regret it. Thank you also for such a great reaction. Don’t fret about the tears. I’m 61, and have loved Queen since my teen years, and a few songs get me teary-eyed too. Can you do my favorite Queen song…”Don’t Stop Me Now”?

[@kendallneason3645]

As Dave Grohl said, “ If you want to know how to be a rock star study Freddie Mercury.” Also Queen was made up of four highly educated guys that all were multi-talented and could play multiple instruments, write songs, perform songs differently to keep them fresh at concerts and experiment with all kinds of music in their albums. This made them one of the great rock groups of all time. I feel so lucky to have been able to see these guys live. It was a transformative experience. The energy and connection is unmatched.

Another great reaction Stax. There is nothing like the power of music to get the emotions flowing. You should check out Queen's performance at Live Aid. You should also check out George Michael's tribute to Freddie singing this same song with the remaining members of Queen.

[@StaxReacts]

I know that’s right!!!!!

[@catherinedudley-fr3re]

Awwwww, I loved your reaction and I totally agree. I gotta say, Freddie has made me cry many times with that voice. I’d love to see you react to more songs of theirs. I highly suggest reacting to the official music video for this song. It’s incredible, and it shows how well the group harmonizes together. I would also suggest the song “save me” Montreal, 1981, white queen, live at Hammersmith, 1975, and react to Queen live aid 1985. They have so many incredible songs and videos, but these are some of my favorites. Another one is you Queen, you take my breath away, live at Hyde Park.

[@StaxReacts]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽‼️‼️‼️

[@stephenfrasure9351]

you gotta check out "its late" one of Queens most underrated songs. Full of emotion.

[@kellyjane6938]

Amazing that you are so moved by Freddy's amazing passion (and of course the whole band- especially Roger Taylor on drums and vocals). This was a lovely reaction and you have excellent insight into these exceptional artists. I have loved your Beastie odyssey! Keep your standards high!!! I think you would really like Janis Joplin and one of her best is the live version of Ball and Chain (Monterey Festival). Another one is the live version of Cry Baby. You might also like Amy Winehouse - maybe start with Back to Black (the official music video) and then the acoustic live version of Valerie. 💘

When you're ready for something new check out any one of Angelina Jordan's over 200 videos. Recoring since she was 6, she's now 18 and still killing it. Maybe start with her arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" performed on AGT Champions. Queen gave her the copyright to her version!

Freddie Mercury was absolutely the greatest frontman in rock history. The other three members of Queen were equally talented in their own ways. Google them they are all college graduates. Sir Dr. Brian, May… Yes, sir, as in being Knighted by the queen of England. Doctor, as in receiving his PhD in astrophysics. He assists on various projects with NASA. He even built that famous red guitar he plays when he was 17 with the help of his father. They are without four of the most amazing humans that God ever created. Queen definitely has blessed us with their magic.

[@DrVLT918]

So glad you did this reaction! It’s probably my favorite Queen song and this live version is really amazing! In my opinion your genuine emotional reaction to this one made it even better - I have to say that I’ve seen this live version many times so I didn’t expect any surprises but I definitely started to tear up a bit when I saw that you were. If you liked this one you really need to check out their Live Aid performance from 1985 (Wembley Stadium, London). Do yourself a favor and react to their FULL SET - I’ve included a link below because there are a bunch of videos from this performance floating around KZbin but a lot of them are just of a single song. The full set is about 22 minutes long but totally worth it because you’ll get to experience the show in the way it was actually performed and witness one of the best live performers of all time doing his thing and engaging the crowd between songs. You miss out on that by watching each song separately. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-YeX6rqb6kr6Msi=TY-B3Fizf-C7rxbD
