MUSICIAN REACTS to Queen - "You Take My Breath Away" (Live at Hyde Park - 1976)

[@valerielansford565]

I love that the crowd was so noisy at the beginning he tells them they have to listen. By the end you could hear a pin drop, then loud applause. Truly a master at work!!

[@carolyndanielson9584]

Absolutely, Valerie. There were 200,000 people in that crowd which makes it all the more mind-blowing. 'Anything you ask, I'll do for you' comes to mind.

[@teteu1511]

Most beautiful Queen song in my opinion

[@afficionada1103]

My favorite

[@johnniekilgore9413]

I agree 1000%. Freddy was so phenomenal. This song was absolutely beautiful as was Freddy.

[@johngibsonmusic]

Yes!!

[@michaelgombkoto6941]

I will love this guy until i die... Freddie was divine; a God.

[@karenj3611]

And now, on to the studio version. Freddie does all the vocals on it himself, beautiful harmonies.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

[@Sarvasaha]

...and some beautiful harmonised guitar and bass orchestra.

[@janetschulman7649]

What guts to sing this ballad in front of a crowd from a free concert in Hyde Park

[@irinichotou470]

Amazing performance!!!!!! Full of emotions!!!!! Freddie at his best!!!!!

[@user-tl6cy4ln4f]

How could he have sung like this ? This is really amazing !!!

[@monicaa.6641]

WHAT A VOICE, TONES, VIVRATIONS, I CAN SEE HIS SOUL AND, AS HE TOUCH MINE... HI'S EXTRAORDINARY, EVEN FERTHER AWAY .. HE HAD A DONE. EVER...

[@kendallneason3645]

I adore this live version of this beautiful song. Freddie just hypnotizes us all with his voice and piano playing. 😢❤

[@anamarquez4939]

A a very strong and, at the same time, delicate voice, amazing

[@melissacurtis7216]

Freddie was a phenomenal pianist

[@Anisabell2]

Freddie was a truly unique musician/singer/songwriter/frontman/human being/friend/LEGEND!!!

[@karenj3611]

Undeniably Freddie's greatest individual performance. Stunning

[@lollinelson5549]

Thank you, thank you! I think this is one of Freddie's most powerful yet vulnerable performances ever recorded. I could listen to Freddie sing this all day. I appreciate you reacting to it!!

[@jeanmceowen711]

I listen to it all the time

[@28sunshine218]

He expresses his soul in this masterpiece 👑💞🇬🇷

[@alphaandomegaministry2718]

Along with Love of my life Wembley 86 this has to be Freddie at his most beautiful and his most vulnerable with a live audience. People will be in tears over this for centuries as indeed I was.

[@juliannetomlinson]

Just a beautiful performance by Freddie 💛💛

[@giovannaferraiuolo252]

Great Freddie Mercury.. Legend inimitable

[@jancarey4036]

I'm English and it's the first time i've heard that song also. Freddy had a voice that touched the soul somehow. He's greatly missed. He loved opera too. He did a duet with the opera singer, Montserrat Cabelle. "How can I go on". You should check out the video. Amazing.

[@johngibsonmusic]

I will check it out!

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

Voice of an angel. Time has only made his death all the more tragic, yet we are blessed to have been born in a time that enables us to experience such other worldly talent. My God it just sends chills down your spine. It's almost hard to listen to, it just hits you right in the soul.

[@bettybaby63]

Simply the best. The studio cut will really blow you away!

[@merseybabe2707]

😇 breathtaking song what rawness , Freddie you are solely missed 😢🤩🤧

[@stephanieclare2457]

Oh that was so beautiful. When Freddie asked the fans to listen you could hear a pin drop sent chills up my spine. Thank you another amazing performance from Queen. ❤

[@johngibsonmusic]

Thank you very much 🙏😊❤️

[@alicefarr3927]

So beautiful

[@jeffyoung9341]

I keep coming back to this reaction… one of the most beautiful love songs… and watching your reactions as you comprehend the lyrics… his love for Mary was immense!

[@johngibsonmusic]

Thank you very much!

[@leslieporter9228]

A man and his piano! Perfect! Freddie was one of a kind!

[@sherryheim5504]

You are going to love this one. I am excited to watch your reaction. Thank you. This song takes MY breath away.

[@marvalstith2749]

So beautiful. Not easily did my mind and heart register what' this man gave us - what was happening to my senses - tears and comforts from deep inside.... all so very good. Quite a blessing.

[@pinkey943]

They are actually amazing and their body of work is timeless. Freddie's voice is beyond beauty. Brian's guitar work is superb. Roger's drums are solid. John carries it with the bass. Still sounds fresh today. With a powerful voice and charismatic presence, stands out as the greatest frontman in Rock and Roll history. Once he stepped on the stage, the audience knew that they were a part of something special. Having over a four-octave vocal range coupled with a flamboyant personality, Mercury kept his concerts alive every second.

[@dimitrasotirakoglou2553]

My favorite song He is all emotion on the piano Thank you

[@debramoore7513]

Hello John!! Love your reaction!! Gorgeous Gorgeous!! The back story is that Freddie wrote this for his special someone! Invited them to the concert so he could sing it to them! OMG!! The world’s population wishes Freddie had sung this song to them. The studio version is filled with beautiful harmonies! Like Freddie said in this performance “it hadn’t been recorded yet …”.🌿💗🌿🌸🌿💗

[@johngibsonmusic]

Thank you very much!! ❤️

[@sigridschulz3201]

Wonderful song from queen, I love it! Freddie's voice is so fantastic

[@sebacastillos]

Una pena que Freddie no haya hecho más a menudo esto en vivo. Su piano y su voz. Seguro Love Of My Life sería genial de esta manera.

[@truhunk1]

I've never heard this version, awesome.

[@ellenmyers971]

You have to watch EARLY QUEEN they are mind blowing 💞 have you watched White Queen 👑💕

[@johngibsonmusic]

I will check early Queen out! I've already reacted to White Queen 😊👍

[@debracormack8944]

A truely beautiful song creation of Freddie's. Such great vocal skills and beautiful lyrics. A noisy audience at the beginning and you could hear a pin drop at the end of the song. Truely captivating. Loved ❤️ it.

[@djfantastic8843]

what a beautiful song! I’ve never heard it before…. Amazing 🤩

[@Sarvasaha]

Go find the studio version. Different and beautiful in its own way.

[@DirectDemocrat]

It's was Saturday 18th September 1976 in Hyde Park and I was there. It was free.

[@johngibsonmusic]

Amazing!!

[@GinMae]

Thanks for this reaction! you also should listen to the studio version -- it truly represents his vision/intention for this song -

[@uk130belfor2]

He is amazing John

[@SCHHHa]

Hyde Park..it was their first grosse concert of their history

[@susanechevarria4320]

Thank you the higher volume !

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

THANK YOU John, for another GREAT music reaction! I'm always excited when I see a new posting from you... Your genuine appreciation for what you're listening to, shows on your expressive face. I JUST WISH... that there were MUCH MUCH MORE video footage available of Freddie's piano playing... His musical contemporaries said that they had never seen anyone else play the piano in the same manner that he did, except for Liberace.

[@clintholland9443]

i was at that concert and the whole concert blew me away, it was a free day with other artists

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

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

[@elenicecastro9276]

[@barrysiewert7386]

Another beautiful Queen song is White Queen with absolutely amazing piano skills. (Hammersmith) however don’t upload from Eagle Rock, they block.

[@jeanmceowen711]

I love your review.

[@johngibsonmusic]

Thank you!

[@susanengland3919]

I'm anxious to listen to your new release, but you really must check out Queen at Live Aid 1985. I see you've reacted to a couple of the songs, but you don't get the full impact without watching one of the finest live concerts in history.

[@johngibsonmusic]

I will definitely check out the full concert!

[@highjim7778]

200k ppl in that crowd lads.

[@c.p.6987]

Tolles Video! Freddie hat hier einen Soloauftritt😍! Die Studioversion ist ebenfalls hörenswert! Ich würde mich sehr über ein Video von Liar - live 1974 freuen. Roger, Brian und auch John haben dort geniale Solos!

[@johngibsonmusic]

Ich höre mir den Song an 😊👍 Liebe Grüße!

Thank you!!

[@The1queencollector]

The album version is wonderful but they could have just used this version if they wanted

[@molokoko786]

You should give the studio version a listen - it’s a rare case of the studio album version being 10x better than the live one - it’s amazing!

[@samloveslfc]

I have to disagree with you on this, imo as amazing as the harmonies are on the studio version, they detract from the pure emotion of the live version. I much prefer the Live over the studio on this one.

[@bluebell3720]

As much as I love how Freddie does the harmonies on the album I have to agree it looses it's emotion,at least it doesn't come close to the live for me

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

@@samloveslfc I agree with you. The touching lyrics and the beautiful music all performed by Freddie don't need more harmonies. This performance is simple and pure, in one word: stunning.

[@LMTino]

For me the live version has the passion and the focus...the studio version has all the vocal gymnastics - lovely but missing that live vibe, especially with the backstory connection. High drama that night!
