First Time Reaction to Queen "Somebody to Love" Live in Montreal

[@irenedownie6559]

WOW!!!! This is by far THE best reaction for this song in all of KZbin! You didn’t make all the right noises in your comments to please the viewers, your total appreciation of this performance shone through and was genuine. What I’m most thrilled to hear is your recognition of the fabulous voice and drumming of Roger Taylor. Most reactors just concentrate on Freddie, who is wonderful, but you give credit where credit is due, so I’ve now subscribed to your channel and look forward to many more Queen videos. My suggestion for you to react to is “White Queen”, live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975. It’s mesmerising! ❤🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@CoachCastTV]

First of all, your comment about the reaction is humbling and much appreciated. I assure you the reaction was genuine, and even after watching this several times during editing, I can say that we're both still impressed by their performance here. We also appreciate you subscribing. The "White Queen" version you mention is on our list.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

There was a little beer there too as was said for John, but Freddie would take a sip of it in the long break for Bohemian Rhapsody (live they never tried to fake it, the middle section was a studio creation so the band would go off while the recording played and the lights and effects did the rest, then they'd come back on for the last section), and near the end of the show when the open beer had gone a little flat. And if you watch some of the interviews with Freddie, he's drinking beer. In recent years many have made him out to be this high class aloof type person who only drank champagne, and whilst he did enjoy the finer things in life, he always enjoyed some beer. Including a few sips onstage along with his honey tea.

[@Sassypaws4927]

This popped up in my timeline for reasons only understood by the designers of KZbin algorithms, so I decided to rewatch it. While doing so, I was reminded of a story about this performance you might find interesting. It is a clear example of what a tight, finely-tuned performing group Queen was.. Today, most performers wear earbuds from which they receive cues and messages while performing but that wasn't the case in 1981. Queen had to rely on visual cues from each other and trust between them. But that was no problem since they had played together so often that they could read each just by looking at each other. This incident occurred when Freddie got up from the piano the second time during "Somebody To Love". As Freddie glides to the center stage, he glances over towards left stage and sees Brian's back as he head upstage to the left back corner on the stage. Apparently, Brian had a problem he needed to take care of. I don't what the problem was except I know it wasn't as just a broken guitar string. As all guitar players know, guitar strings do break and usually as the most imopportune moment. But Brian ( and John) were prepared since they always had a backup guitar tuned and ready to go. If Brian had a broken sting he would have simple switched to the backup which would take less than a minute to do and he didn't. (The backup for Brian's Red Special was not red but blond in color in 1981). Freddie knew that he couldn't continue on with the song but would have to continue to entertain the audience until Brian could return to performing. After a few minutes of enteracting with the audience, Freddie looks over his left shoulder towards Brian for a couple of beats, When he turns back toward the audience, he immediately begins the chorus of the song, "Find me somebody to love, Find me somebody to love". Brian is then seen walking up to his microphone perfectly timed to reach his microphone just in time to sing.

[@CoachCastTV]

On our first watch we thought this was just how they always did it. We read in comments that this was impromptu due to some issue. That's impressive!

[@chriskazanas9941]

You can watch the whole concert from Montreal 1981 on line. I recently watched it with my son on an IMAX screen in the Montreal Forum( it's been converted to an entertainment complex). It was magical, Freddy was able to control the crowd 42 years later through that movie screen. Being projected on almost the very spot where he stood in 1981

[@CoachCastTV]

Very cool.

[@chriskazanas9941]

@CoachCastTV it was pretty awesome. I was 10 in 1981 and wasn't able to go but seeing it there now with my 18 year old son was truly magical. Helps that we are both massive Queen fans.

[@egk2584]

This song as performed is actually gospel. Queen transcended genres. They could and often did do just about everything under the sun. Freddie even sang with Opera singers. Freddie is often called the best front man ever with one of, if not the best, vocal ranges but Queen is one of the best bands ever too. All four of them.

"Gospel" for sure...we both loved this so much!

[@lynnhoffmann247]

@@CoachCastTVYou’d love “Let Me Live” if you like gospel. Freddie, Roger and Brian each sing a verse of the song while being backed by a gospel choir. Gives you a chance to hear each of their voices separately and together. 😊

[@angiepen]

I was going to mention this song's gospel roots. @CoachcastTV -- although their live performances are generally the best, it's absolutely worthwhile to watch the official video of this song (whether you react to it or not) for the strong gospel sound. In the studio they could do some looping and layering of voices, and although it doesn't have the vocal pyrotechnics this live performance does, the gospel choir feeling is its own kind of awesome. Freddie was a big fan of Aretha Franklin, and this song is his tribute to her.

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

Thank you for reacting so enthusiastically to my second-favourite live Queen performance of all time. My absolute favourite being their twenty minute set for Live Aid at Wembley, in London in 1985. I have loved Queen since I saw the official video of Bohemian Rhapsody broadcast on the BBC pop music programme 'Top of the Pops' in 1975. (You really should check that out too. It's phenomenal). In case you didn't spot it, if you look back at the second time Freddie jumps up from the piano, he sees Brian May (lead guitar - now Sir Brian May PhD, the author and astrophysicist) heading to the back of the stage with a broken string, and so he extends his interaction with the crowd - and tells Roger (drums) and John (bass) to "keep it going", until he sees Brian returning. Thank you for picking up on Roger's awesome ability to continue with the epic drumming, never missing a beat, while singing his heart out. Oh, and the beer bottle is a product placement. The brown liquid in Freddie's cup is tea with lemon and honey to lubricate and soothe his throat through a concert that might last up to two hours. ♥ New subscriber, hoping to follow you down the Queen rabbit hole as you discover more of my favourite band.

The only band in history where all four members wrote no 1's.

[@CoachCastTV]

They are pretty amazing.

[@RiverSong5683]

Songs: Loveof my life, You take my breath away, Too much love, The show must go on….Roger had a solo career also, great song: Old Friends, Say it’s not true. Brian had his own version of Too much love, he wrote it, so…they both take on different meanings. Soooo many songs, can’t decide.

[@CoachCastTV]

I think this will be a very big rabbit hole to go down. Thanks for watching!

[@indianboy72]

No matter who you are. It’s easy to see greatness. This man is a legend. I’ve been a musician my whole life. I couldn’t imagine working with such greatness.

[@adamyilmaz9531]

If you want more Roger, killer queen/im in love with my car medley montreal 1981 and in the lap of the gods 1974 live rainbow are a must! Cool reaction! ☺👍

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you!

I Love This Live Version Of This Great Song,A Great Performance

[@lindawallace3065]

You must become queenies… There is 300 more songs to go!!!woo hoo!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CoachCastTV]

Yes...lots more Queen on this channel for sure.

[@davidstuart2111]

If you want to experience Queen at their very best watch the Queen set at the Live Aid concert from 1985, this has been voted the very best rock performance of all time

[@CoachCastTV]

That is the #1 requested reaction on our channel right now, and we do plan to do it in the near future. Thanks for watching!

[@louremington6975]

You guys are so cute and love music. I saw Queen 3 times in the 70's and this was every concert

[@RiverSong5683]

They’re all very versatile, songs are versatile and of all genres, and Freddie has a 4-5 vocal range. Thebes’s.

[@Brisgma22]

Thank you! It's such a pleasure to see a reaction from someone who appreciates a singing drummer. If you want a deeper appreciation of RT watch the Roger Taylor cam at Wembley (about 19 minutes long and 4 songs) You will see what a beast he truly is.

[@CoachCastTV]

That takes true talent. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

[@kentnottingham9635]

So “Watching them” back then, we didn’t get to do that much unless you saw them live. We had albums and radio. All these great songs live is awesome to see but the whole other side of Queen is what monsters they were in the studio! All the harmonies, yes even the BALLADS are just phenomenal! What you may loose from their studio work, they make up for being monsters on stage!!!!

[@chicochi3]

Just thought I would mention this. Freddie's touring piano, which you see here, today lives at Brian May's house.

[@Seanadun]

A masterclass from Freddie.

[@LauraCahill-w2l]

What blows my mind every time I see it is that Roger Taylor is so good on the drums that he can sing along and play the drums perfectly without having to look at which drum he is hitting. He knows exactly where each drum is and hits it without missing a beat! Brian May is incredible on the guitar, and John Deacon rocks as the bass player! And of course no one can match Freddy vocally! They did everything without audio-tune, and they are the only band in history with each member of the band writing a number 1 hit song! Love Queen!!

[@BuddyNika]

I have been watching and listening to Queen my whole life, I have no idea what i would have done without them in my life, As far as i am concerned they are the best all around around rock group ever. You guys keep searching , you will be amazed.

[@CoachCastTV]

There's no doubt that they are incredible. We appreciate you watching!

[@peterjackson8950]

Fantastic Reaction guys.....a small time drummer and singer for 25 years, was fortunate to be technically trained....but switched totally to ear as I was told many Super Star Bands did just that, I followed and stole stuff from many Drummers, in Awe of them all.....Roger Taylor was my Favourite....The Beast.....Could not Emulate Mr Taylor to save my life....not ashamed to say. For a Super Star...he seemed quite Humble. Absolutley Lovechis voice and feel.....but also thought he was solid as A Mountain on the Drums....technically sound, beautiful feel and Roger Taylor Style. Bassist was a Monster as well.....Drummers and Bass are the Foundation I believe. Thanks You Guys, Loved Your Reaction....Your Cool. Peter 62 years of Age.....oh the 70's......A Friend of mine says, "......When Bands were Bands...." I must agree. Much Love .

[@CoachCastTV]

Nice comment. Yeah, it seems he'd be hard to imitate. He's quite special, and certainly John also does a great job on the bass. A band of superstars, no doubt.

[@Laura-rm6us]

Thanks for the Roger Taylor love. This is such a stellar performance by all

[@CoachCastTV]

Agreed!

[@paulsmith7062]

Freddie Mercury had such an incredible voice the world lost a true talent when he passed. I was very lucky to get to see him in concert in Boston in 1976

[@victoriamarx1886]

If you want more of Roger Taylor watch him at the same concert singing I'M IN LOVE WITH MY CAR. You'll love it.

[@CoachCastTV]

That one is on the list. Thank you!

[@flippinpages6550]

One of the greatest bands ever. All of the band members are genius.

[@thetomey]

George Michael performed this song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and he's for sure the second best singer in the world who sang this song, you'd like that performance too

[@kadielouhoo]

Go you guys! Your open-ness is wonderful! Welcome to the Queen machine! There's so much to listen to, get ready!

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you so much!!

[@vanessalore9942]

Oh this is the phenomenal video. I have no other words 😁

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Now that I know you're in love with Roger Taylor, please watch this same song in the Queen Official Video Studio version. Because you'll hear how the song was released with so many rich harmonies the band can't duplicate live on stage. Those Roger high vocals! Woo. Plus it's fun to see the lad, all young and everything, in what looks like their 'recording session' of this song. (It's really worth a peek)

[@deboraclark5791]

Queen were the best live band ever and Freddie's vocals live were so fantastic. Roger and Brian were wonderful vocalists too.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Roger Taylor in the top ten of singing drummers. I liked Queen when I saw them on TV in 1974 for Killer Queen. I finally got to see the boys live either side of this Montreal gig, in London in 1980, and in Leeds and Milton Keynes UK 1982. They did this song on those tours, and all their other classics. They were at the peak of their live shows in 1980, 1981, and 1982. I was lucky to see them again in 1984 and though they were still amazing (a Queen gig was always top quality), I thought this era was the best. They were also officially the biggest band in the world in this brief period, on sales alone, once they got really big in the US after The Game album 1980 with the songs Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites The Dust. Queen were special live, something about them, obviously all great musicians, with three singing voices. But it was the tightness and the chemistry. Plus they were loud! And at times heavy! They could rock out with the best of the heavy bands. But they also had all this subtlety and variation in their music. For years I was trying to get people to try out more Queen beyond the hit singles, and to go see them live, but in the 80s and on it was yeah yeah, they are old style, and history, we've heard it all. But they hadn't! Now, largely due to the movie (and reaction channels!), there's a new generation of fans who have come to appreciate them. Freddie would be amazed at how much bigger they've become over the decades since his passing. And I'm sure he would have loved it. He always said he hoped people would remember him for his music.

[@CoachCastTV]

Great comment. Yes, we heard their songs in the 80s but at the time it wasn't music that really appealed much to either of us, so we never sought out more. Now that we are older (and perhaps wiser) we realize that this music is special, and so is this band. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Hopefully we can bring this music to more people who don't know much, or anything, about this band.

[@lindawallace3065]

You should do Roger Taylor with Jeff beck singing say it’s not true….Roger wrote it for Freddie I think🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@russwells1825]

Awesome review. Queen is my favorite band, seen them almost a dozen times back in the day. " Killer Queen/Im in love with my Car" live. You get Roger singing lead. "Save Me" One Vision" "Love of my Life" " Who wants to Live Forever" and a couple of my favorites, " I want to Break Free" and "Break Thru" these guys are the real deal. Thanks and enjoy the Queen rabbit hole. Boomer Sooner...

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks...the medley for Roger is definitely on our to-do list.

[@kurtiklaas]

Queen had two fantastic vocalists - and Freddie Mercury. May and Taylor are great singers in their own right with tons of great stuff. Taylor is outstanding in this video.

[@CoachCastTV]

Cannot argue that at all. Thanks for watching!

[@loisvansciver9194]

The greatest band of all time ❤. They are all fantastic. The only band I know who is better live than in the studio! Keep them coming!

[@CoachCastTV]

They are great live! Thanks for watching!

[@philipevans1027]

The best take of queen 100% love this song boy was it good xx

[@CoachCastTV]

100% agreed, one of the best live performances we've ever seen from any band.
