INSANE!! My FIRST time REACTION to Queen - Flash - The Hero (Live at Milton Keynes Bowl 1982)

[@scospi]

For this concert, they entered to the pre-recorded version of "Flash", and then performed an abbreviated version of "The Hero". If you would have continued the video, they go right into a fast version of "We Will Rock You", which they played as their concert opener on many of their tours. It was a great "hit em hard" opening to the show.

Brian said that from the early years 👑 strategy was: Def 'em, blind 'em and leave 'em wanting more 😮😂 😜 and to this day we WANT IT ALL AND WANT IT NOW!!!

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

This actually wasn’t “his fault” that the video ended right there…. Queen Official just uploaded this new video over the weekend and - even though the video quality is so much BETTER - it’s FRUSTRATING that it cuts off right at the end of “Hero”… I just really HOPE that Queen Official uploads the next part SOON.

The entire concert is fire!

[@debramoore7513]

“FLASH .. AAAAHHHH”⚡️⚡️ My favorite concert opener!! Fire, Fire, & more fire! 🔥🔥 Queen was responsible for the soundtrack in the 1980 movie Flash Gordon!! Very cheesy but oh so much fun, starring Sam Jones & Max Von Sydow (starred in the Exorcist). You gotta watch SOMEBODY TO LOVE from this concert, too. More Fire! Oh, add PLAY THE GAME to that list! Thanks Prada!! 🔥🔥

[@irenedownie6559]

My favourite opener too! I saw them in Edinburgh 2nd and 3rd of June 1982. The Pope was in Edinburgh that weekend and friends thought we were going to see him! I told them no, not the Pope, but Queen ! ❤

[@irenedownie6559]

@@debramoore7513 It was out of this world fantastic!!! There was only one person in front of me so we really close to them (on Brian’s side) and Freddie actually looked eyes with me for a couple of seconds! ❤️❤️❤️ xx

[@lindastodola691]

I forgot- there is a video of the ‘Flash’ song- Freddie hits incredibly high notes-

[@sherryheim5504]

It looks like Flash was just used to pump up the crowd before the band came on and they did Hero once they were actually on stage.

[@Hot_n_Spicy4ever]

I just love how they’re able to just get a crowd up like that I mean, electricity when they walk in or when they’re on a stage, it’s just amazing and Freddie Mercury. He just can light up a stage. I love this. You know this is just incredible. This is magic. This is just wow this is just amazing. I really wish I was able to go see one of their concerts, but just seeing this, just really just shows the electricity magic just how they could light up the stage and the crowd would go wild then this is just beautiful

[@colliefalke4]

Greetings from the north of germany . Flash is not my favorite song , but its Queen . Thanks Prada West

[@catieburnside3751]

I was there! We took my 14 year old cousin to his one and only Queen concert. It wasmagical and he us a Queen ie to this day just like us.

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

in the uk back in the 1970s and 1980s , was queen as big as led zeppelin, pink flyod, the rolling stones??

[@lindamaclellan4899]

What a way to start a gig! I love seeing how focussed Freddie is just before the concert as if he's gearing up to give the audience everything he has. You should do the song right after this, "We Will Rock You" - fast version. That song, together with what you just showed, is actually the complete opening of the concert. You can really the see the energy of this band in the complete opening. I love this concert...one of their BEST in my opinion.

[@CynthiaSwain-nd3vn]

WoW!!!! That crowd is crazey ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@scottclark7309]

Queen thought very hard about their opening song at concerts and their opening songs were unforgettable and whipped their fans into a frezy while queen took them on a journey R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

Became a fan in 81 with flash gordon remember this on the tube history!

Let’s go freedom and unity family worldwide keep the love wave going and let’s rock this world together keep rocking the free world family

[@pollynicklas5220]

I saw this tour in 1982, they started it off with this!

[@gregsmith5586]

This was my first time seeing them live ...the day after leaving school...you should give "its late" a listen not live but the Queen official version

[@lindastodola691]

Crazy! You have to- have to react to the video of the band in the studio while making their song- ‘ One Vision’ there are two different videos! Watch both please- so great and relaxed- Freddie adds some cheeky lyrics😂. The boys are hanging out and making music_

[@RockinMamaT]

Love of my life live is amazing too. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️

[@leonsimpson2230]

Top man! This is my favorite opening to a Queen concert. As stated in another comment, check the fast version of We will rock you that follows this

[@Stewart.fryers]

Do Now I’m Here/Dragon Attack from this show. Absolutely amazing

Please react to "I Want to Break Free" Live Concert at Rock in Río Brasil 1985!!!! Pleaseeeeee

[@irenedownie6559]

If you had kept on watching, they go straight into the fast version of We Will Rock You, and that rounds off the opener perfectly! I saw them on that tour in Edinburgh and it was a FANTASTIC show! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

HEYYYY HON!!! My FAVORITE concert!! I saw this weekend, that Queen Official just uploaded this segment from the concert opening… but, AAAAAGH!!! I WISH they had uploaded the next part, too (because, I’m sure you could tell, this was just a SHORT song intro)… The next part is: “WE WILL ROCK YOU” FAST VERSION …If Queen Official DOESN’T upload it SOON, there is an EXCELLENT quality copy of the song on this channel: Chief Mouse For that matter: Chief Mouse has a PLAY LIST FOR EACH SONG FROM THE MILTON KEYNES CONCERT, IN EXCELLENT QUALITY.

[@coreywilliams923]

The dude standing behind Freddie when they're waiting to go on stage (long hair, sunglasses) is Ratty, Freddie's mic tech. He's the guy who hands Freddie his mic on stage.

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

Hi that wasn’t Ratty at all it was Roger Taylor’s roadie Chris “Crystal” Taylor who had looked after him for years !!! Peter “Ratty” Hince hardly ever wore sunglasses !!

[@coreywilliams923]

@@jo_jolambrini6775 yeah, looks like your right. They look pretty similar in a lot of pix, but that's Crystal.

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

That was the best Queen Show in my honest Opinion. Like Live Aid you need to watch the complete Concert. Live Aid Bohemian Rhapsody was also cut short for example.

[@SandraGrabinski-ob8ql]

Hi All

[@CynthiaSwain-nd3vn]

Cool❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leonsimpson2230]

Also this concert has the best live version of Somebody to Love ive ever seen. Better than the Montreal show

[@enriquevilches5686]

It was for a tv opening theme why it was so short ...flash gordon

[@tammyjackson3113]

You should watch the movie Flash Gordon its hilarious, this song is played all through it😊

Amazing! As always! Do you think you will do any Pink Floyd reactions?Dark side of the moon and the wall will blow your mind but you need to listen to the whole albums.worth every minute tho i promise! 😊

REQUEST (cuz it’s AWFUL how this cut off so short!)😜 “WE WILL ROCK YOU” FAST VERSION At Milton Keynes (The video is on: Chief Mouse channel)

[@johng.8517]

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

[@John-et9yl]

I saw them five times including this Milton Keynes concert, which was my least favourite mainly because it contained too much material from their worst album Hot Space. Heart, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and Teardrop Explodes supported.

[@rodolfovargas3504]

You only see the intro jejeje concert total 2 hours so so....
