No Freddie WAS not Queen and Queen WAS not Freddie. They were Queen and that is that, they were a band as a whole, it wasn't Freddie Mercury & Queen, he wasn't the leader, he was just the lead singer of Queen, like he said numerous times, the were together a band, Queen

There's not much you can say after watching a performance like this. Words are hard to come by. I would recommend you watch the whole concert. I hesitate to say that it captures the band at their peak because I'm sure we all have different views but it does not get much better than this.

This is such an emotional song it gets me every time. When it was first released, I nearly wore out the vinyl copy of it being a teenager at the time and it was one of the singles I bought. Still have it

[@terryroper5860]

Freddie was so amazing!

[@GinMae]

Thanks, JG - this is an awesome song - as noted below - written by Brian - not everyone could see, but while Brian was on keys, he had his guitar in his lap - which allowed him to jump up and make that smooth transition -- this entire band was amazing... and I appreciate your appreciation!

It’s hard not to to think that they saw Freddie as their muse. Another gem from Brian & their interaction on stage is fun to watch.

Freddie never disappoints. Love queen

Brian’s song about a friend going through a divorce. “Don’t Try So Hard” is a beautiful song…no live version, though.

[@Danielik25]

Yes, one of my favorite It ´s a Hard Life live from Rio love too

[@LMTino]

Yes - Don't Try So Hard is a gem you wonder why not better known. Freddie always maintained he is rooted to emotion through song - as with "Jealousy." A delicate and melodic song from 1978/Jazz that is a beauty to hear on an emotion that isn't.

There is an audio clip where Brian doesn't come in on time..Freddie laughs and says" WELL THAT DIDNT START OUT SO F***ING WELL...the first line of the song..lol. I think thats why Freddie gets close to Brian with a grin. To make sure they start together

Thanks for posting this. It's fun to see your first view reaction. Their ability to capture love, loss and hope in such a dramatic, human (not to mention rockin'!) fashion is unrivaled, in my opinion. For me, with Queen, they always deliver moments where I'm wondering if I should sing and play, forever...or maybe just stop right now. Powerful.

[@johngibsonmusic]

I totally agree with you James!!

[@michaelvincent3139]

Really enjoyed your reactions to save me, and the live aid performance, which I attended, absolutely brilliant, your obviously blown away by them, and rightly so, I have been fortunate to have seen many live performances from different band of that era, but queen tops them all, could you check out the prophets song by them, I dont belief there is any live recordings, but its worth checking out

That's amazing! I will check it out 😊👍

Stunning bass playing underneath that. Lots of lovely little runs and still solid. Good that you mentioned that. He's invisible to most reviewers.

[@sherryheim5504]

This is such a beautiful and sad song. Thank you for reacting to it. Freddie is so good on this and Brian has the sweetest sound with his guitar. The whole band showed up with their "A" game for this one.

Ok... i'm a Queen since the late 70's. I'm sure Brian never plays a wrong note in a concert. lol

Brian wrote this - it's his song. He gets a big part in it's presentation. Notice while he's playing piano, his guitar is strapped around behind his back. Quick transition for him on this one back to guitar.

I saw them on this tour, for the Game album, at Madison Square Garden, September 1980. As Freddie said it's off the Game, the last one in fact, a song that really didn't get a lot of airplay back then. An amazing show!

[@johngibsonmusic]

Amazing!

[@Lotse7]

„Rock Montreal“ ist für mich das beste Live Concert von Queen, entstanden exakt zehn Jahre vor Freddies Tod (24./25.11.81), nie war Freddies Stimme ausdrucksvoller. Dieser Titel und die Kraft im Ganzen ist unglaublich. Wenn man das Konzert schaut, merkt man schnell dass Freddie nach kurzer Zeit nur noch für sich und die Band spielt, nicht mehr für das Publikum…denn jenes ist einfach unterirdisch. John, bitte „Another one bites the dust“ aus diesem Konzert. Gruß von der Ostsee, Marco.

I feel that I can sing very well. I think I can sing most songs better than the original artists. Sometimes I hear a song and say I cannot sing it that well but almost. In this case I can honestly say say that I am not capable of singing like Freddie Mercury. His talent was special, to bad he didn't have more common sense in life, he would be with us today.
