[@kathleenflick6041]

He also had extra harmonics and a unique vibrato. Absolutely unique.

[@louremington6975]

They actually did have autotune. His voice was so powerful that autotune was used to keep the speakers from making that high pitched squeal. Different use of autotune. thats actually why it was invented. Not like the shit they use it for today

[@photoscottsb]

@@louremington6975 , um, no. Autotune is a digital audio plug-in that was introduced in 1997. I think what you might be thinking of is the use of audio compressors, which have been around for a long time. Compression helps tame wild fluctuations in loudness, but does not affect pitch in any way.

[@TheRealHaloLover]

Also the reason it sounds so good is because back then especially they had to record the audio separately so they'd just go from the PA's basically getting individual tracks they could later mix and master to give us this 🤌🏼 it's timeless

[@davidkriner3799]

Four instruments, Five microphones, Four brilliant musicians. No autotune. Welcome to 1981✌

[@HankD13]

Interviewer once asked Freddie 'what instrument do you play? - the answer was, 'the audience, dear boy, the audience'. And he did - watching thousands of people singing his song back to him, choregraphed by the greatest front man ever - Freddie Mercury. Lucky enough to have Queen and Freddie as the soundtrack to my youth... RIP Freddie, you are missed by millions.

[@terrimobley6067]

I have to say it. I'm an old lady but you are what they call a natural beauty. Whoo! Stay kind and it will always shine no matter how old you are.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

Queen is a once-in-history collection of four authentic musical geniuses gathered into one place. All of them were ultra-talented when it came to what they did. Dr. Brian May's (PhD, astrophysics... he's done work with NASA) guitar style was unique. Roger Taylor's drum and rhythm sense was second to none. John Deacon was a master of the bass guitar, and they *all* were some of the greatest songwriters ever to walk the earth. But when discussing Queen, you have to deal with Freddie Mercury first and foremost. Freddie Mercury was a force of nature. There have been damned few performers with his absolute raw charisma and ability to command a crowd. He's been called "the greatest front-man in the history of music" for a reason. He and his band created what is considered the greatest live performance -- also in the history of music. And its true. The world can be divided into "before Freddie Mercury" and "after Freddie Mercury." And I weep at the thought of the music we never got to hear when he died so young. He was only 45 when he died of AIDS in 1991, a mere ten years after this performance. He was one of a kind. And as Shakespeare said in Hamlet, we shall not see his like again.

[@Frostrazor]

John Deacon was Queen's secret weapon. His bass riffs in many of the songs was epic - and songs would not have sounded anywhere near as fantastic without his driving bass lines. Ask Vanilla Ice how good his bass lines were. 🙂

[@bobbelanger6426]

Very well said grumpyoldguy. And to think this was my prom theme song ‘82 . Rock the house!

[@humphr1d]

Brian May was recently knighted so he is now Sir Dr Brian May.

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

Perfectly put you Fabulous Grumpy Old Guy!!! Gracias!

[@ohauss]

Notably, May had interrupted his graduate studies for his music career and then, at an age when other people think of retiring, he thought "Hm, guitar legend, rock star, there's still something missing in my life... oh yeah, that PhD I started half a life ago!" I mean, picking up a topic like astrophysics decades later and then indeed finishing that PhD is beyond amazing.

[@TexasMagnolia]

To introduce….Bohemian Rhapsody is a must BUT, the official video is a must.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Yes!

[@robertprice9052]

He wasn't a dancer, by a true showman. Every member of Queen could have fronted their own band. I grew up with them, i remember their first album - I'm still blown away

[@ukbusman]

If you ever want to see an 80,000 crowd pumped up to Freddie like you just got, then please please do a reaction to Queen at Live Aid. (The whole of it, not just the intro Bohemian Rhapsody) I promise you wont regret it. The most fabulous display of crowd emotion, vibe and a goose bumping moment in musical history....Ever!

[@rickbateman2401]

Lets not forget the GreenDay concert where 65000 teenagers and 20 somethings sang Bohemian Rhapsody as it was being played over the loud speaker. A song released before some of their parents were born, by an artist who died before they were born.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Each member of Queen sang, each played at least one instrument, and each wrote songs, and each wrote at least one number one song. That's how talented they were, and how well they gelled together.

Your reactions to Mr. Mercury and Queen are spot on. Queen was a musical force of 4 men who came together and produced music that sustains thru time.

[@laurenraubaugh9542]

I loved this! No, Freddie Mercury wasn't a dancer, but he loved ballet and the finer things in life! He also did an opera album with Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballe later in his life (just, you know, because he could 😂). He was an incredibly talented, kind, and wonderful man - best frontman of all time, and one of the best singers ever (which is mind-blowing, as he never took a vocal lesson). He died exactly ten years after this performance, when he was only 45. Gone much too soon. I'd love to see what you think of Queen's 20-minute set at Live Aid in 1985! It was a huge, internationally broadcasted fundraising concert with some of the biggest artists of all time (Elton John, Madonna, U2, Led Zepellin)... but Queen stole the show. It's consistently been voted the best rock concert of all time, despite it being so short and without all the bells and whistles of lighting and stage effects they'd normally have.

This is the best ever live footage of Queen. It was filmed in Montreal in 1981. Moblevision developed technology to create a traveling IMAX show with a 5 story movie image. They approached Queen about filming them and eventually Freddy agreed. They wanted to shoot all band members so they used 8 cameras. They had to rotate 3-4 of 8 cameras each filled with with a 10 minute roll of 35 mm Kodak film. They also had people running back and forth to the cameras and a guy next to each cameraman to load the film and pull the focus. The cameras used double anamorphic lenses to squeeze as much detail onto the film as possible. There was no way to say take 1, take 2, etc. when filming so automatic slating was used to create an ID tag for every shot of film. It was the first time automatic slating was ever used. Many years later 700 Apple Mac G5’s spent one MONTH processing the film. A computation compared each frame with the ones before it and the ones after it to remove dirt, scratches and some of the defects of the original filming.

[@mrtim5363]

Was, going to say something about it being shot on 35mm film, but you said it far better. Thank you. Because Freddie didn't follow the trend, he lead the field. Being the part of something bigger & bolder, is right up his alley. & Being 1st to do so. - Even Better.

[@AnaReginaNica]

Funny enough, there is a rumor the band (in special Freddie, it kind of explains his death glare at the first seconds of this song) wasn't happy about the way they did it, bothering them, entering their way, invading their space, leaving a mess of cables, rolls and cameras, and basically disrupting their performance. But indeed, like you very elloquently explained why, it was the best ever live footage of Queen.

[@vansting]

Spot on!

[@janpetra81]

really nice info. thanks

[@funlovincop]

The best part, no matter how good resolution our screens become, if they still have the original, this will always look HD. The original should be preserved and kept for all time

[@goldenruletv7301]

The ONLY reason I watched Live Aid was to see Queen. Even though it only on television, I felt that Freddie had the whole world in the palm of his hand, and it was a beautiful thing to witness.

[@LoganS-gf3zl]

The lead guitarist and backup singer, Brian May, was not only a brilliant musician he’s also a published ASTROPHYSICIST, and he was only the second most impressively talented person in Queen. There will never be another Freddie Mercury.

[@morpheusnotes]

I don't know what to say about Freddie, but you, Britt, has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my entire life. Came here to listen to Freddie, stayed to listen to you.

[@RayRosher]

If you have never heard this guy before. freddy was one of the greatest rock Stars of our time and his vocal range was astonishing. I met him once when I was a young security Guy and he was amazingly nice

[@aimlessbauer9082]

Do tell. Was he as shy as everyone said he was?

[@MarcusAgricola]

The only band I will always be sad to not have had the chance to see live! It must have been the ultimate experience!

[@roberthudson1959]

It was. I saw them in November, 1978, at the Richfield Coliseum outside Cleveland, OH.

[@trigger2225]

Never seen a BETTER reaction to Queen than this one ❤ Freddie was and probably will always be the greatest live performer/ entertainer ever. God bless you Freddie ❤

[@davidkriner3799]

Freddie has a degree in graphic design. Everything he does on stage is a gift from God

[@craigsoudelier2689]

It great to see somebody getting into this highly talent band in their first time listening to them. Everybody in the band killed it vocally while still doing their part playing an instrument and then Freddie is hands down one of the best if not the best all around vocalist of all time. It’s nice seeing some appreciation and new fans of my all time favorite band

[@carriemilito2851]

Freddy Mercury was one of the all time greats. So many songs that are still being played today. If you've been to a sports event, you've probably heard Another One Bites the Dust and We are the Champions.

[@christophersmith2793]

Great reaction Britt welcome to the legendary Uk 🇬🇧 band Queen , I attended many Queen live concerts in the 1980s,they are famous for their flamboyant live performances, all the members of Queen have Written No 1 hits and they have a vast catalog of amazing songs and anthems, Freddie Mercury the lead vocals,their greatest hits album is still today the best selling album of all time in the United Kingdom, they have sold over 300 million records, and they were all amazing musicians,all the members of Queen had universally degrees and bachelor credits to their names, please react to Queen at Live Aid in 1985 they had a 22 minute slot on stage and out of 20 bands and artists that performed for charity that day Queen were the best and stole the show, Freddie Mercury always played to the crowds and had the crowds in the palm of his hand, thanks 🙏

[@mannyj8805]

Sensory overload! Love your reaction. Been a Queen fan since Bohemian Rhapsody was released back in 1975. I always felt that their music was timeless and would be around past my lifetime, and here I am today watching a new generation discovering their greatness. You are right that they never do their performances the same way twice. You can check out another live version of this song from their concert release On Fire At The Bowl. Live at Milton Keyne. I think you will enjoy his energy and interaction with the audience. As far as dancing, I don’t know if he ever took lessons, but I do know he had a love for ballet, and he was a huge fan of Liza Minnelli hence his movements on stage. Also he was a big fan of Aretha Franklin whom i believe was his inspiration when he wrote Somebody To Love.

[@bmarrello1]

That my dear lady. is a man born in Zanzibar Africa Whose family fled to England Only to become the greatest frontman EVER!

[@danielkarlsson258]

Great reaction! The whole Queen performance on "Live Aid" next, please. You will not regret it. 😊

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

Welcome to the genius of Queen! Please keep going with them.

[@thefluffinator65]

It was so incredible to see your reactions and I teared up on many occasions watching you. As a 58-year-old in 2024 I have been listening to Queen since I was a young boy, and yes you'll never hear music like this ever again. Freddie Mercury truly was one of a kind and his music will NEVER be forgotten.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Freddie's microphone stand became part of his and the bands iconic look. Like his own personal icon or symbol. I heard a story where one day he went to lean over his mic stand, in a very Elvis-esque way and it snapped off from the feet, but he just kept using it rather than having it replaced. And he found it was easier to use and offered the ability at concerts to stick the microphone out away from his body to capture some of the audience sounds and increase his interaction with them, as well as use as a technique to add to his singing - so he ordered a custom one made at just the right length of "stand" part and no feet. The rest is history.

[@zerolsr2228]

Queen has probably the most talented band members to have ever lived. Each member has written several timeless number hits for the band. Each member has an insane amount of talent at what they do and more. The members can play an instrument and sing. The drummer is 100% so talented if he had been a part of any other band he would have been the front man but he is a part of the queen and their talent as a frontman is still unchallenged today. Off the stage, several members have respectable college degrees that if they would not have been in Queen they would have had successful lives.

[@stefanschneider3681]

As I got into astrophotography and of course being Queen-fan I was fascinated by that story. Their guitarist Brian May not only had a master in astrophysics but even finished his theses (is that what the next step is called?) and turned it in a few years ago. He had built his own aparatus for measuring something that's way above my understanding and personally put it up on some mountain, did the measurements, the math, the writing ...

[@JakobBerry]

This concert was recorded on 35mm film. That's why it looks so good. The band actually hated doing the concert, but I think it's a blessing having such high quality recordings of them in their prime.

[@nyima04011]

The filming company tried to restrict the audience participation and noise which really went against the grain for the band

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Freddie killed it on stage. The drummer is Roger Taylor and if you want to hear him, check out ‘I’m in love with my car’ song. He’s a great vocalist as well as drummer.

[@alisonboydell7143]

He was just amazing . They all wrote songs . You need to see live aid 1985.

[@sunset17]

This is the music of my childhood. My parents say that Queen concerts were the best they’ve been to. Queen are still very loved here in the UK even 30 + years on.

[@CJ-Fischer]

Greatest singer and Greatest Frontman EVER! R.I.P. Freddie still so sadly missed 😢

[@erichartman5348]

One of the most talented and flamboyant front man ever . Loved him . Rip

[@rickthreebears184]

EVERY ONE of Freddie Mercury's moves on stage was designed to elicit a physically reasonable response to the "Big Picture", the sexuality of it. Well done, Queen!

[@emme4296]

Freddie is just phenomenal. Love your reactions, I really should be studying. 😂

[@tomkelly8774]

As someone who Grew up with Queen it's really nice to see Someone's 1st time reaction There was a decade when Queen was the Most beloved band in the world, Freddie Mercury to this day is considered one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time, There is a movie called Bohemian Rhapsody, That movie will enlighten you to the greatness of Queen.. Congrats on 50K it's been fun watching your channel grow...✌️

[@AnaReginaNica]

That was a great reaction! Some funny stories about some of your questions: - Freddie Mercury never (NEVER) drank anything alchoolic before or during a performance. The only time he did, he forgot all lyrics, and the band promised to murder him if he did that again. Since he wasn't murdered and only made these amazing performances since that, we can guess he kept his promise. He only drank tea and water. Brian May and Roger Taylor drank beer (never got drunk on stage as well). The only one who would get real drunk on stage was John Deacon. Different from the others, he was a hightly funtional drunk, and never missed a single beat on his bass, even when he couldn't walk a straigh line. He's also crippling shy otherwise (if you meet him at the streets of London, he will be very kind to you, but prefer a million times over to not be recognized, so, we kind of try to be aware of it and give him space), so, the alchool helped him to perform. - Brian May's curls are iconic, since he maintains it like that since the 70ths. Everyone changed at some point, but his hair stayed exactly the same. Now, he's 76yo, and his hair STILL looks like that, just white. It's kind of funny in a way, because everyone get curious of how he would look with any other hairstyle, but we all love his hair at this point. He confessed once he got tired of "taming" it (on his teenage years, he used to try to straigh it), and instead, just leaves it alone to do what it wants. - Roger Taylor, the drummer, is the responsible for the super high voice you hear, acted like the second voice in most Queen songs, and first voice in many as well, alongside playing drums like crazy, and occasionally guitar. In I'm In Love With My Car, he sang and played everything. Talk about multitasking. - Freddie got some classes once at the Royal Ballet, and claimed they tried to murder him there, stretching muscles he didn't even knew he had. Poor guy ended in a lot of pain, but made a presentation with the group (Roger was on the audience and had some good laughs). - John Deacon was the dancer of the group, actually. No one could outdance him. He has some wicked moves, and it's amazing he could still play bass like that (like I said, never lost a single beat).
