IM ALL IN FREDDY!! | Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal REACTION!!

[@Chris-kj7de]

Lead guitar, Doctor Brian May --astrophysicist. Freddie-degree in graphic art. Drummer, Roger Taylor - degree in biology. Bass guitarist, John Deakon - degree in engineering. All of these guys are successful songwriters, top musicians, and great singers. Brilliant band.

[@larryronkq586]

Led zeppelin And Queen WERE ON Fire in the 1970s

[@TheDirtyBum900]

Also (I believe) the only band to have every individual be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame as individual song writers and the band as a whole These guys were no joke beyond talented

[@momokomiyafuji396]

Like, I knew about their educational backgrounds. But seeing it written out like that, I suddenly thought "They're like a talented version of the Hong Kong Cavaliers" from Buckeroo Banzai 😏

[@RK-zf1jm]

Also Deacon hated the limelight so its rare you ll find the camera focused on him you ll see him in the background and thats just the way he liked it. Also when Freddie died he was the only band member to say fuck it no i am not carrying on without him.Brian and Roger both continued the queen band on with various quest singers as recently as 2019 they did a world tour with Lambert from Americas got talent. I prefer to remember them as they were instead of what they became.

What's incredible is that this was like the third song in their show that night. They played everything like it was the encore.

[@vernacohen6988]

Great comment and you're so right. They did play everything like an encore. I'll think of that now when I listen.

[@jhamler1]

Is that really true? Because I just assumed this was the concert closer...

[@mookie7688]

@@jhamler1 Just checked. It was actually fourth of 27 tracks they did that night, including five encore songs. So yeah. www.setlist.fm/setlist/queen/1981/forum-de-montreal-montreal-qc-canada-3bd5ac64.html

[@mookie7688]

You can see videos of the encores on youtube too. Freddie is wearing shorts, a red bandana, and a Montreal Canadiens hat.

[@jhamler1]

Good God! That means, I mean... I dunno. If Queen could keep up that kind of intensity all shownite? Well, I can't even imagine. I've been a live performer myself (as a drummer in various cover bands) and we would always save showstoppers for... Well, the stopping of a show. If you know what I mean. Of course, we were never on the level of Queen, but... From the regards of Freddie's piano, I just assumed he'd been singing and drinking all night long. Pure magic, at any rate. And, just for fun, check out how supercool Roger Taylor is.

[@larrybarrjr.6720]

Freddie was the ultimate showman until the end! A.I.D.S. took him WAY to soon. He did finally find someone who loved him for himself and was as happy as he could be for his last few years.

[@spamvicious]

lovely Jim Hutton often gets overlooked because of Mary. But Freddie and Mary had a completely different kind of love to Freddie and Jim.

It’s also sad that the doctors figured out the right med combo soon after he passed.

Roger Taylor the drummer would "carry" Freddie's voice when he was tired or sick (live aid). Roger's voice is pretty high. He's the one singing back and forth with Freddie in Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

[@queenremix1353]

Expect Roger didn't sing much in live aid, it was pretty much all Freddie singing the high notes.

[@eith44]

@@queenremix1353 He did plenty of back up vocals on We are the Champions, Crazy Little Thing and Radio Gaga. Camera wasn't on him but you can hear him.

[@tigerback62]

Somebody to Love and You're My Best Friend are two some of my all-time favorite songs 😘

[@roxannemoser]

Deacon's bass line just accents Freddie perfectly Freddie: yes dahling

[@mortmortmort8908]

But Freddy's best vocal performance is also one of his last ones. The Show Must Go On. Recorded when he was basically dying. Bryan May was quoted as saying "Fred, I don't know if you can do this one." and Freddie downed a glass of vodka and said "I'll fucking do it, darling" and absolutely *crushed* it in one take. Legendary.

[@vernacohen6988]

It is amazing. I don't think Freddie set foot on the stage without believing that he could "fucking do it, darling." It's so sad to watch though knowing we were losing him.

Freddie actually did box when he was in high school.

[@JennRighter]

Thankfully for Freddie, he had two people that loved him for a very long time, until the day he died. The woman that was once his fiancé and the guy that was his partner for many years. It was still a sad ending for him. But he had TWO people who devoted their entire lives to him, and that's about the only comfort in his untimely passing.

[@brunoescher5212]

Hey man, Freddy was the best rock Singer of all time. Maybe the best singer of all times

[@adammckee3496]

Since Freddy was so overpowering here, you didn't comment on the drummer's backing vocals, so I'd like you to react to "I'm in Love with My Car", which is sung by the drummer, who sings well enough to be the lead singer on most bands. The video to use is named: "Queen (Roger Taylor) I'm In Love With My Car Live In Montreal 1981 HD"

[@nihlify]

He did say something like "damn drummer" at the end, but it was kinda drowned out by the music.

[@mb-ti3wn]

That song was mentioned in the movie, lol. This is performance a worth watching. No light show, no backup singers, no dancing, no trapeze, just pure entertainment by an incredible band. "is a performance worth"....ops

[@lynnhoffmann247]

@@nihlify He said, “I hear you, drummer!” 😂

This performance made me re-evaluate Roger Taylor as a drummer. It's pretty unique that a drummer is a key vocalist in a band usually reserved for the role of lead guitarist.

I wish I could sing like that! This is one of my favorite performances of his--I have watched it numerous times. Never gets old for me. Love the whole band!

This is the one I was waiting for you to see.....it gets everyone as it was quite exceptional. It must have been insane to have been there......

[@pinkey943]

In 2016, a group of Austrian, Czech, and Swedish researchers conducted research about Freddie's voice, and while they couldn’t confirm the long-held belief that his range spanned four full octaves, they did discover that despite being known as a tenor, he was more likely a baritone. They also found that Freddie's vocal cords moved faster than most people’s. While a typical vibrato will fluctuate between 5.4 Hz and 6.9 Hz, Mercury’s was a massive 7.04 Hz. All in all, Freddie Mercury had one of the most powerful voices ever known.

[@snakelite61]

I love it when someone throws him that broken mic stand when he gets up from the piano.

[@foxmulder8139]

Freddie was something special, the greatest frontman of all time. He could hold his own against anyone and knew how to get the crowd in the palm of his hand and hang on every word, a master of his craft. What an amazing band!

The 11/24/81 concert was 10 years to the day before Freddie died. The Blu Ray is about $15 on Amazon, with the CD being roughly $20. The Blu Ray also comes with Queen's Live Aid performance. The first time I saw the entire concert, I needed a cigarette, and I (at the time), hadn't had a smoke in 5 years. It's that damn good. BTW: I'll be 7 years smoke-free on January 11th. :)

The studio version came across as a gospel styled take on Bohemian Rhapsody, but live it always sounded more powerful and soulful. I've probably watched this live Montreal version 100 times and I'm always blown away by it. All four guys bring their A-game as usual, but Roger Taylor's drumming and support vocals are next level on this and Freddie takes no prisoners with his astounding vocals. Hope that you & those close to you have a wonderful Christmas.
