1st time reaction - Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody (2017)

[@JPVLDRodrigues]

You know a band is legendary when this happens

[@thunderfoot5167]

Freddie was conducting from Heaven!!!!

[@vn8897]

The only band that can steal someone else's show without even being there. "QUEEN FOREVER"

[@Christine-ry1qq]

Freddie ahhh Freddie Audience in the palm of his hand most of whom weren’t even born when he first sang this !!! Freaking amazing 😻

[@4721lynn]

Omg .. They even sang the operatic part. Yea, I don't know where the instruments and other voices came from, but .. WOW!!!!

[@angelaedgington-pk8si]

The band were on a break and this music was played 66.000 people all in unison what a tribute to queen and the lyrics of freddie

[@JonsTunes]

60 thousand people, no animosity, no stressing, no class structure, money's no object. The only thing important is a good sing song, love, togetherness, being happy and having fun. On another day you could walk past 60 thousand people and not even say hello 🤯

[@rebecca28]

Freddie still has a full control of the crowd from Heaven. How influential do you have to be to have the audience from 65.000 people in the palm of your hand and not even be there?! Ik kan see this video hundreds of times and always makes me cry tears of joy.

[@christelsegbars1630]

This is when immortality has been reached.... 😍

[@Miobambino]

Freddie is definitely tipping his hat. 65,000 people singing every word perfectly and in tune. RIP Freddie. Hope you’re proud 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@carmemdejesus7415]

Simply beautiful!!! Only Freddie could have his fans do this 25 years after his passing!!!! Spine chilling & goose bumps!!!

[@richardjchapman2261]

Try 30 years in November

[@ThatDawnOne]

I was there, we had all had a few drinks, then our other National Anthem came on over the PA and we went for it. No lyrics or anything, just 65k people loving the song

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

The world still loves you Freddie, no one but you, darling 😍

[@Issy-fz9pp]

Greenday love Queen and Freddie. They often play his before the show to warm/hype up the crowd. They played the actual song in the background, but the crowd is so loud you can barely make it out. There is another video with a different angle of this same crowd. To think Freddie can still control a crowd 27 years after his passing. I don't think I've ever seen another artist have this effect on people. Love and miss you Freddie

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Miss you too Freddie. Ah thank you I thought I could here a few cues but guess that was from the actual song in the background. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@ben1ben]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ yep.

[@Dani.B33]

I have experienced this at a warped tour in Massachusetts. I was in the crowd singing this with everyone. It was exhilarating and it felt powerful

[@brigidsingleton1596]

65,000 Green Day fans truly sang that day (01/07/2017) & my eldest daughter was there singing all the words of this wonderful song, Bohemian Rhapsody.. Green Day had the speakers on stage facing the crown, so in a way, Freddie & the guys truly were there urging & encouraging each person. Beautiful example of love for Queen & dear Freddie. Sing your hearts out... (& The instrumental pieces inbetween too !!):True Love indeed 💞💞💞💞

[@bigjohnnascar]

Could you just imagine being Green Day and hearing this going on from their dressing room? It must have been amazing to experience.

[@naominagler7290]

There is a video somewhere on youtube that someone in this crowd took with their phone of this.

[@classicrockguy7]

They probably are wondering how to follow that haha

[@joosyjulie]

The crowd know the song so well that they even self split into high and low parts as needed. If you listen carefully in the guitar solo they are singing that too. Straight after that they are bouncing in time too.

[@deebonvillian1185]

I’m 62 and grew up with Queen. It’s so good to hear people their age singing this song. I have goosebumps hearing it.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

I have heard someone say that this is the second anthem in Britain - and brits - in my opinion are good singers - just think of the many choirs - and the Last Night of the Proms in Royal Albert Hall - which is broadcasted to the whole world - and I see it every year I Denmark - and I sing along and has done since we got a televisionset in the late fifties. Nowadays they also have outdoor crowds singing along to a big screen - and loudspeakers. Goosebumps.

[@richardjchapman2261]

Queen have earned their place to sit in the lap of the Gods.

[@tanaforet8684]

Absolutely perfect comment♥️♥️♥️

[@justingerak9731]

Or rather the throne of gods.

[@classicrockguy7]

Woooooaaaahhhh wooooooaaaaahhhh lalalaaaaaa woaaaaaahhhh...

[@tanialake6994]

The clouds just parted and oor Freddie is taking it all in.

[@shadmanhasan4205]

Valhalla needed to get music to compliment the "milk" + "honey".

[@naominagler7290]

I don't care what your music preference is. This is beautiful and everyone needs to see this. This is when humanity, when they don't care about who you are or what color you are, at its best.

[@Hermit-63]

Freddy was there in all all of us

[@ilovecatweazle]

One of the best posthumous examples of respect to a Rock musical God.

[@Sandy-dt2mp]

Beautiful and perfectly said

[@nielsinelange765]

Freddie said "I'm not going to be Rock star, I'm going to be LEGEND!" 👏❤️ Great reaction 👏

[@heavin6586]

Makes me cry every time i watch it.. Its been 4 year's since you reacted to this and were wondering what this would be like in 4 years..... i wish we could get the world congregated together to do this...

[@jameshardy2220]

I was lucky enough to be in that crowd, the song came on the PA just before Grenn Day came on and that happened spontaneously. It was magical to be among 65,000 people completely united in that way.

[@JoSedunary]

This always makes me tear up - how loved must Freddie and Queen must be to have crowds doing this before another bands show....and not just once, Greenday did/do this all the time. Magical

[@angelrr9838]

Freddie Mercury was ,is and will always be the Master. The Leonardo davinci of rock music

[@betseyclark2832]

I think Queen were one of the earliest rock bands to include the crowd deliberately in their performances. It was genius and they perfected it. It keeps people involved in the performance, helps to avoid trouble if fans get bored, and sends people home felling like they've had great time. It's impossible to go to Queen tribute band and not sing along.

[@vivianwar2271]

100% agree with this analysis

[@alisoncauser2955]

It was just some music to warm the crowd up before gren day came on. The singing started spontaneously. For the love of Freddie rip.

[@Aristoprat]

Surely this has to go into the Guinness Book of Records as the largest ever choir.

[@cnatview]

I have watched this video so many times and recently I saw something that really, really gave me goosebumps. If you look at the sky in the very beginning of the video, the center of the sky is all white with the sun shining behind it. At 2 minutes in your reaction video, you see a darker spot starting to show up in those white clouds. By 3:32 where you pause the video, I think that area of clouds looks like an angel's body with long flowing hair, holding flowers as it look down on the crowd as they sing. By 10:09 in your video, the clouds have kind of taken on the look of a piano player sitting at a keyboard... then it gets distorted as the song fades.... Indeed, Freddie was there. Thanks for your reaction, Hap.... take care and be well. Peace.

[@Ghostrider-yw4oo]

They let Bohemian Rhapsody play in the background. As incredible as it was, no crowd in the world would be able to Sing Freddies or Rogers high parts as Perfect as it sounded

[@ohsure07]

I love the symbol on the left moving @14.43. It makes me feel that Freddie was watching even the light from the sky is magical.

[@fredneckteddy]

Just think, this was 42 years after the song was initially released! This year marks 45 years of Bohemian Rhapsody LOL

[@Chrissy-pf5pd]

They play music while the band sets up. This song came on and the crowd went with it. Love this video, it never gets old haha. Wish I was part of the musical mob too! Freddie would be proud. 💕

[@metteg.1898]

A whole year before the movie in 2018. That’s impressive !

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Dammn was it? cor-blimey - that is something. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@metteg.1898]

HAP3SPEAKZ Oh yes! It’s insane. ALL these people actually know and love Queen. Not just from a Hollywood movie in 2018.

[@metteg.1898]

Imagine being the one in the crowd who doesn't know the song. 😱😂

[@mommahope5844]

I cry every time I hear it❤️❤️❤️❤️Still so much love for Freddie and Queen 👑 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@leoniegroot9018]

The moment you said ‘it is like Freddie is watching from the sky’ at that point the cloud on the left in the sky always looks like Freddie to me. Just like he is really watching.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks Leonie, sometimes words can`t explain it. You to see it to believe it.(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@adrianhughes8143]

Its us Queen fans that have got our children into Queen and Freddie. Then our Children will get there children into Queen etc etc. Queen and Freddie will never die. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mmaloneym]

What a tribute to such a legend so long after his death. I just love it!!!! Have you ever known any more dedicated fans? Queen fans are the BEST!! 42 years after the song was released!!!!! Your reactions are fantastic, by the way. I appreciate your knowledge of the music and ability to pick up on all the subtle nuances. My favorite reaction channel ever.

[@redstateforever]

They’re even singing in harmony. Unreal.

[@debra7105]

Thanks Hap! "Look up to the sky and see"....when they sang that part, how could you not. You will find Freddie, conducting. LEGEND Also, I love how they sing Brian's riff

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yeah I have to agree with you :) when I re-watched it. Good observation Debra. Thank you. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@louiselane806]

Freddie could control a crowd, and he did it here beyond the grave

[@jew-wheelsvanderburg]

I was lucky enough to be there among 65,000 others who started to sing without any person leading or conducting this epic moment in history There were no instruments it was an instrumental backing track playing along which was only played after the crowd started to sing as this was not anything the band or their crew knew was going to happen

[@stormy081464]

One of my favorite videos, gives me goosebumps everytime. Proof that Freddie will live forever. Absolutely timeless. I'll not get a chance to see Freddie, but would love to have a chance to at least experience this. It is like he's conducting from the sky! Great way to start my day thanks Hap!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks for the comment and support And you`re welcome. It is a good way to start the day hehe. I got more content coming :) so hopefully fingers crossed no drama. lol (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@deborahallen3318]

The words and the tempo are happily burned in our brains forever! Who needs instructions or a band? 😅👍

[@ian00001]

This is a brilliant crowd, but play this song anywhere in the world and people will join in.

[@deborahallen3318]

Exactly! Anywhere! 😉

[@christinejohnson9540]

OMG I F@cken love these kids, most not even born when this song was released, bless their Queen loving mum’s & dad’s rocking out with their kids, well done. Bloody beautiful, love from Australia.🇦🇺

[@andreamoffitt2257]

People walking down the street 2 kilometers away could hear this; must try to understand that Queen and all their songs are a part of the average Brits national identity.

[@janettesinclair6279]

There is another recording of this performance filmed from the crowd beside the central path and you can see everyone singing their hearts out and enjoying it!

[@barbaraaschwingelswihart572]

Thanking Freddie for this song!

[@its.just.connie_3]

I literally cry EVERYTIME I watch them sing it

[@barefootanimist]

Freddie Mercury has left an impact on the world that will never be forgotten. (There's a recording of the song playing under the singing.)

[@chaos-fk6fs]

Some songs are bigger than just music, they become folklore, like the soundtrack of mankind. And Queen have a lot of songs in that category, to my knowledge more than any other band.

[@hippiejane2683]

Really impressive. A song for the ages. Before the movie which revived the younger generations’s interest in Queen. Seemed like it made you kind of speechless. 😊

[@maryhuhnke8496]

I believe that the rectangular screen that looked upon Queen's loyal audience, became the attraction. It was a tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen! Thank You Green Day!!

[@nyima04011]

They play music to the crowd before each concert, always include Bo Rhap and there are more videos of crowds singing. Pretty SWEET! BEST #queenreaction is HERE. THANKS

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Ok thanks Deborah, did not know that. :) keep enjoying the content. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@cathymartinez7683]

Love your reaction! I've heard this multiple times but your reaction is very genuine....

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thank you very much Cathy :) very glad you enjoyed it. So kind. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@Arandomperson_online]

I felt that way Freddie is above in the heavens smiling down 🥰

[@codybuilam6086]

I 100% agree that "ooooo yeah" is the best part of the song

[@davidvornsand6054]

Your reaction was perfect! Articulate and insightful, this is a brilliant example of humanity! 65 thousand people singing and styli singing this song nearly 30 years after Freddy passed! Brilliant!

[@davidvornsand6054]

;)

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

I totally agree HAP, it was absolutely astonishing!! I wish I had been there also. I think it would have felt like such a tremendous moment. Glad they got it on video!!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yeah but I had 2nd thoughts about it. I do like some freedom of space lol! That musical mob is tight but great vocals. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@lindastodola133]

This popped up on the google home page yesterday. I thought of your reaction! Isn’t this an incredible show of love and respect for Freddie. The beautiful young man in the deep turmoil of his young life. Chills- right? Unbelievably beautiful!

[@jonbyrne2380]

It just happened spontaneously. It was fantastic. I ain't Young but saw plenty of younger folk all singing....We'd already had The Damned, The Hives and Gogol bordello during the day. One of the best days I've had.

[@alicefarr3927]

Never seen a man so loved and missed ❤️

[@luciefowler5627]

Don't care how many times I see this -I was in that crowd and it still gives me goosebumps!!

[@iangraham46]

I’ve seen many versions of this,but without a doubt,this is my favourite reaction to the crowd 👍 The song was played to the crowd while a band change took place,then the crowd took over. Well done my friend.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks Ian!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 appreciate that sincerely.

[@jca111]

And at the start of the video in the top left, Freddie's face in the clouds

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

OMG!!!!! You are right!!! WOW.... I`m going to time stamp that now. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@juliannetomlinson]

Glad someone else saw that.

[@maximebriochain5567]

In my comment for the video you made with one vision I wanted to propose this video. It's a real beautiful video. But what makes me feel really emotional it's that the scene stay empty.. In a comment of someone who sauv this video he sait : Wherever Freddie was, he was smiling. Well, generation and generation of fans.....

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

have to agree with you Freddie must be smiling! (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@joycelynnrobinson2145]

It’s just like the Live aid concert.....Freddie and Queen ruled! Amazing👑✌🏾🙋🏽‍♀️

[@lonelywolf4559]

Can you imagin this will happen to an actual song after 40 years ? I can't.

[@iris67si]

I can. The crowd will be singing Bohemian Rhapsody again ❤

[@jonathanrea9021]

I was there it wasn't rehearsed we just got the vibe.

[@emelty729]

Seems dear beloved Freddie had a vision that someday his song will be sung by everyone regardless of age, race, beliefs, religion even by people like me who can’t sing 😅. Seems he did want us to sing to his song like a unifying thing. He only had love and unity in mind ❤❤❤❤, who cared what the experts or critics thought negatively of this magical song, it’s the rest of the population only mattered to him. What do these critics know anyway!🤨🤨

[@itsonlysound]

Bohemian Rhapsody has been part of Green Day's pre-stage music mix since at least 1997. Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones usually follows this one. Nothing like a singalong to prepare you:D

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

oh I never knew that. Thank you very much. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@NovaMenno]

The only person conducting the crowd was Freddie, all the way from heaven

[@lexymish990]

Chills chills chills. That cloud at the beginning on the right looks like a person hanging over the crowd little.

[@carrielaliberte3255]

From heaven! 💞💞

[@trudywolfe2795]

Freddie lives in all of us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-eh8eg4hp5t]

7:17 the drum set is shimmering in golden light. Awesome Once again, Queen steals another show.

[@janetschulman7649]

They are even humming the guitar riff. 60,000 people

[@peggyjackson3710]

Look at the sky you can see a face with a mustache looking down

[@janicekersting5329]

THEY ARE LITERALLY JUST PLAYING THE MUSIC, NO WORDS, OF THIS SONG BETWEEN BANDS!!!

[@barbaraaschwingelswihart572]

Look at the sky opening up as song goes on

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

It’s a Masterpiece

[@jkthegoldeneagle]

This was all crowd. Maybe with a bit of help from Freddie up above. As Green Day was setting up the drums, sound checks, etc. Props to GD for not stopping the crowd before their concert started.

[@tonyhaynes9080]

It's set at the start of the Green Day concert, and they were playing music to keep the crowd entertained. This spontaneous outburst, it just happened. But it is fantastic that Green Day let this be aired and played so many times, says a lot about them. But I would love to hear what they thought when they heard this. If this was released as a single, what are the odds that it would get to number one?

[@susanengland3919]

Queen's recording of Bo Rhap is playing as a tribute to Freddie, that was what the concert intended. The audience participation was an unexpected bonus.

[@Roggen45]

Its like Freddy was watching, because as soon as the crowd starting singing this song the clouds are clearing up above the crowd....so yeah he was defenitly watching!!!

[@christinestromberg4057]

Before Green Day came on stage probably some background track played, the crowd started singing and the band waitied until they'd finished out of respect, then later uploaded the video.That's respect. big time.

[@adrianhughes8143]

65,000 Queen fans at Hyde Park, that is us Queen fans for you. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@anilkuldip]

Freddie will always be with us in spirit!

[@CC-sr2ec]

Makes me so happy... wish i was there. Next Greenday concert i will. 🥰

[@sergiodiazaranda2955]

to answer your question; while at an interlude in the presentation of the band the played the recording on the loudspeakers an the crowd just started to sing along.

[@carolbaker597]

Am I the only one who noticed the cymbal waving when Freddie sings "goodbye everybody"?

[@MsAyu15]

That’s how big the song is. I remember in the nineties their music video kept appearing on MTV it was a huge hit again because of the movie Wayne’s world and again became a permanent household song. Very popular pick for kareokes. That’s why I’m already aware of them even in kinder.

[@joyridgway6398]

I've seen many reactions to this , how I wish I had been there.

[@philipporter3288]

Both queen and Freddie are legends respect and rest in peace Freddie. Freddie would be proud

[@paulinesoares3594]

Watch the sky. It opens up and then closes when they finish. It's like Freddie watched then took a bow

[@pennioltheten6018]

Freddie was directing this from up above.

[@jillmcilwain2633]

This was the Revolution Radio Tour, that concluded in San Diego, April 8, 2017. It is listed as song #1 on the setlist. We sang our hearts out, when Bohemian Rhapsody came on. Goosebumps. Green Day loves the energy that comes from the crowd. We were the opening act 😊
