Freddie had 70,000 people and all the world in the palm of his hands especially during Hammer to Fall when he played the audience at home. He was the only artist to acknowledge the camera..

[@jerseyporter]

Can I also say, good on you for calling out those who claim to have 'never heard Queen before' and fake reaction videos. Your reactions to Radio Gaga, Hammer to Fall (the best rocking song ever about the theme of 'we're all going to die', by the way!) and 'Crazy little thing called love' were so clearly genuine. Just wanted to say, when you watch this again, note how Dr Sir Brian May PhD plays 3 different guitars in 'Crazy little thing'! And Roger Taylor's vocals are amazing! He doesn't get enough recognition for his role in Queen's Live Aid performance. When you watch 'Somebody to love' from Montreal 1981, you'll see Roger in all his glory! And the way Freddie simply worships at the greatness that are Brian's solos (especially in 'Hammer to Fall') show the humility of the man. He knew Brian was one of the greats. Finally, don't take the film version of Queen's history as the truth - it isn't. It's more a 'representation' of the group's history in film form. Keep going down that Queen rabbit hole, especially live. You won't be disappointed. (My brother saw them at Knebworth in 1986, but I couldn't go - bitter, me? Hell yes! I would have given my right arm to have seen Queen live!). I was 18 when Live Aid happened. I feel 18 again every time I watch this footage. RIP Freddie.

[@sheenacolada1482]

What kind of instruments do you play? Freddie Mercury: "The crowd, darling."

[@zevongrie1402]

As I recall, this is when Queen’s popularity had dropped off a little bit. 2 minutes into this set Freddie had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Such a great front man and powerful voice. And Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor are brilliant musicians. Don’t forget to give them some love. So many great songs to choose from. Stone Cold Crazy, Death on Two Legs, Play the Game and Who Wants to Live Forever are some of my personal favorites.

[@nancyblumberg4612]

If you talk to the band they will say it was all Freddie but we all know that it takes four men to make this magic. They couldn't hear anything on stage, they were such professionals that all they needed was a look , a turn of the head, and they knew what to do.

Each band had 20 minutes to perform...Queen had it down to the second!

[@nortski78]

To answer your question. Freddie may have had in inkling that he wasn't well at this point but he didn't find out that he was HIV positive until 1987 (despite what the movie says, don't even get me started on that!). Also, Queen have always been a 4 piece band, it wasn't just Freddie then a band. They never officially split up but between 1982 and 1984 they had a little break and Freddie did indeed release a solo album, so did Roger. And again, despite what the movie says, Queen never "reformed" just for this gig. They had an album out the previous year, The Works, that had a full tour.

[@mightyV444]

[@mariannetuite7411]

@@mightyV444Movies are dramatisations, they don’t have to stick to fact per se. Or rather, they don’t have to stick to the correct timeline. Which was the case with Bohemian Rhapsody; it stuck for the most part, to fact, but re-jigged the timeline of events to fit the story they were telling. Only documentaries “have” to stick to fact. It’s just a shame that a lot of folks don’t often make the distinction between the two mediums

Long live Freddie and Queen. 2) From Journey and Boston and Queen in the 70s and 80s, to Rage, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Korn, and others in the 90s and 2000s, watching you react to the music I had the good fortune of living through its popularity reminds me every time I see one of your posts how powerful the music was that was essentially the soundtrack of my life.

A story I heard about Freddie's battle with AIDS came near the end. It was their last album and they were recording "The Show Must Go On". Supposedly Freddie was sitting, slumped in a corner drinking massive amounts of whisky , because it was the only thing that kept his body moving through all the pain. The time came for him to record his part and his bandmates told him he could wait and do it when he felt better. Freddy stood up straight and said "I'm going to fucking nail it Dahling.". And he did.... In one take. After which he slumped back into his corner. He died a few months later. I have no way to prove this story. But when it comes to Freddie Mercury, I believe it.

It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.” “It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world” Their impact was summed up by Geldof. “Queen were absolutely the best band of the day,” the Live Aid organizer said. “They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full. They understood the idea exactly, that it was a global jukebox. They just went and smashed one hit after another. It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world.”

Freddie hadn't even been diagnosed as HIV+ yet at this time. That he knew he was sick is what was said in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie but that was done for the sake of keeping the movie going and creating empathy for the audience. The movie is cramming 20 years into 2 hours so the time line really suffered in the movie. It was not a documentary so things like timeline really weren't all that important. Great concert, Freddie had the audience eating out of his hand from the very start. Live Aid was aid for famine in Ethiopia. Queen never split off until Freddie died. They did take a little time off because they were burnt out from constantly touring and producing albums year after year with no time off. The band had actually done some touring earlier in this same year so they were not broken up. Queen songs you probably haven't heard that are great I would suggest March Of The Black Queen (studio version), White Queen, live at Odeon, Hammersmith 1975, You Take My Breath Away live at Hyde Park, Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981 and Innuendo (studio version) for starters. There is so much great Queen music. There are over 200 songs in the Queen catalog and then there are all the live performances so buckle up! Thank you for your reaction.

Glad your are feeling better!! There will never be someone like Freddie again. He was a true showman!!! It's amazing how music that i listen to when I was a kid still holds up today, but I don't think that music being produced today will hold up in 30 years.

I was working that day, but finished in time to catch this on TV. But I was lucky enough to see them at Wembley Arena in 1984 on The Works tour, then again about 20 months later at Milton Keynes Bowl. I had a little personal interaction with Brian and Freddy. I'd broken my ankle and had crutches. I was using one to air guitar during Tie Your Mother Down, and as we were right by the stage on the wing, Brian saw me, gave Freddie a nudge and they both gave me the "thumbs up". It's still the best gig I ever went to, and I've been to hundreds.

Hi MollyBoy yet another great reaction vid, thanks mate. Oh man, what can I say, except this brings back so many incredible memories of what turned out to be one of the best days of my life. I was there in Wembley stadium 6 rows back from the stage, standing next to the girl in the black top on the guys shoulders. When I look at my 32 year old self rockin out with the rest of the crowd, I get goosebumps all over. I've witnessed many great live performances from top bands over the years, but this one by Queen has to be the best ever. Thank you so much for this reaction, now I'm going to sit and watch it all over again. Reply

This makes me feel like I have a fever. Literally shivering. The reason that happens is great music makes your brain release dopamine and makes you literally high, so does chocolate.
