LIVE AID FULL CONCERT- QUEEN-GREATEST CONCERT OF ALL TIME

[@amycarcaterra8177]

Rest in Peace Freddie. His last concert tour date performing with Queen was August 9, 1986. The rest of the members gave the rights to their songs for the musical We Will Rock You.

[@trishc3099]

Freddie played little *rhythm* guitar on this song but almost always the piano. Brian played a little piano/keyboards on a few songs but almost always guitar. Pure, raw talent oozed from that band.

Queen “back chat “ 1982 live in Milton Keynes “ 🔥🔥🔥thanks boss

[@kathleenohare8770]

Doctors didn't want Freddie to perform due to his having a sore throat...and he still killed with the vocals

[@beachcomberbob3496]

Laryngitis is no mere sore throat though, and that was what he was suffering. As you say, he went against his doctor's recommendation and still pulled off a 20 minute set. He was breaking by the end of it though. Bless him.

[@karenmandeville7116]

i love how the whole crowd sings Bohemian Rhapsody with Freddie!

[@risbydacreator]

Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song ever

[@leebassa1545]

You should see if you can find the clip of the song that Freddie and Brian come back out to perform called “Is This The World We Created”

[@susanengland3919]

Brian does a nice solo, but it's really John's bass that carries this song.

[@loisvansciver9194]

Another great reaction! This performance is considered probably the greatest live performance of all time by ANYONE. Brian May is a master on that guitar! So glad you are enjoying your trip through Queen’s music because it is like no other! ❤

[@Michal1982Michal1982]

Freddie and Brian performed one more song in Live Aid Finale - "Is This The World We Created?"

[@lorioehlert2337]

The later time cuts this song off. In a different recording I guess. Worth listening to.

[@enuma7]

On the guitar is Dr. Brian May, Astrophysisist !

[@dianecourtney2724]

Trust me THAT is not how it ends !!! For some reason “ they” have taken THE NOTE that Freddie ends Champions on out of the video. ?? All Queenies have seen it and I have it so I can watch it when I want…… but 😢 …what in the world is going on 😱 THAT note is actually CATHARTIC !! seriously ! TY for your terrific reaction !!

[@ClassicWorld19]

I've literally just commented the same thing! It's such a crime! Why have "they" done that?!!

[@michaelt3308]

YT Aholes!

[@joandeluca6846]

Loved your genuine reaction! Queen’s Live Aid performance has been voted the best rock performance overall by ANY band by rock writers, editors, etc. You are exactly right as Queen was their own genre as they refused to be cornered, boxed or labeled. They were cutting edge. My favorite band of all time. Keep up the great work!

[@GilesMcRiker]

Keep in mind that this was a charity concert featuring a variety of artists, and So it wasn't like they were playing to their own fans exclusively. ( In fact, they were a late addition to the bill).

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Greatest concert ever.🥰

[@tomasbeltralopez4481]

Yes, the BEST BAND EVER !!! 💥🎵🤟🎸🔥😁

[@mickanderton4763]

This set saved live aid

[@bettybaby63]

Fun reaction. In their preshow interview they were asked how will you pull it off? Brian replied, you better be able to play. Anyone else wanna join me with a pitchfork? This cut video is everywhere?

[@juliannetomlinson]

Don't know why it's been cut damn annoying.

[@dianecourtney2724]

Have pitchfork… will travel…

[@kendallneason3645]

I’m with you!

[@patriciakent6728]

Like the reaction thank you

[@lourall5390]

Thank you for listening to your audience. Excellent reaction! This was the best set ever, for any band. Beautiful.

[@ClassicWorld19]

It always kills me that, for some reason, they've cut out his GRAND final notes "of the world" which is always stunning. Such a shame, as it makes it the complete mastery that it is!

[@trishc3099]

There's two different videos for this concert. The Queen official video is not cropped. The cropped one is posted by someone else and I have yet to figure out why it hasn't been taken down.

[@susanengland3919]

Freddie sounded amazing even though he had laryngitis the week before. His doctor recommended that he cancel and rest his voice, but Freddie ignored the advice and went on to make rock history. Another good video for you to watch is "The Story of Queen at Live Aid".

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ I have watched this concert a thousand times but it gets me every time 🤩 liked subscribed 😁 please react to I'm going slightly mad official video 📷 it's a funny beautiful video clip 🤩

[@jaclynvc]

Fun fact - Lady Gaga got her performing name from Radio Gaga. This concert was so remarkable because they were only allotted 20 minutes and got a hot and tired crowd reacting. Enjoying all of your reaction videos. A great live jam session is Dragon Attack live at Montreal.

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE was a song dedicated to Elvis..lol. Eddie plays guitar and piano..Great reaction 😂

[@kathleenohare8770]

Great reaction

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Freddie is so confident and charismatic but I also think that he has a really endearing quality that draws you in. I know it’s a bit silly but I always feel protective of him . I don’t know what happened to the video but I have seen it happen a couple of times with other reactor’s. It cut out before the song was over . Great reaction 😊

[@lindachambers3166]

Strange...I've seen the whole ending song on some of the reactions, but not all!

[@1031irishqueen]

Please react to the Wembley Concert! It will change your life! Saturday night version is the best one...

[@DWtechfan]

This is the best live performance in music history! Freddie had throat soreness here and he still went against doctor's advice and totally gave one of his best performances. Queen were something special and Freddie Mercury was the best singer and showman to ever grace a stage and studio. Love your reactions here because you're obviously a huge fan as we all are! I'm excited to see you react to even more. Keep up the great work and you just gained a subscriber my friend.

[@markrussell3414]

Another awesome fantastic band QUEEN stole the show on live aid QUEEN are one of the best band ever when they sang we will rock you and we are the champions radio ga ga bohemian rhapsody was excellent song by best-selling band QUEEN. Crazy little thing called love

[@Sassypaws4927]

Freddie also has insane piano skills - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCWpaqYZdOrhc0

[@janetd8198]

this particular version cuts off the end of We Are The Champions, argh! It is amazing so I hate that. When the time shows 9:48 Freddie and Brian come back out to sing "Is this the World we Created" at the end of the concert and it is awesome but you can find it seperately on you tube. Great reaction!

[@antonellaperrucci5411]

Freddy+ Guitar Song Elvis Presley

[@tomasbeltralopez4481]

Yes, I ❤ Freddy !

[@sherryheim5504]

I hope this isn't the corrupted video. If it is it skips in a few places and cuts off abruptly at the end. I hope someone reports this to the person or group that posted this video so they can replace it with an uncorrupted version. This was fine until a couple of months ago. On with the video to see if it is the corrupted one or not. Great show at any rate. I love it every time I watch it and always feel like I am in the audience watching it live which is why the abrupt ending is so unsettling. When the tickets were sold for this concert, Queen was not on the bill so nobody here came to see Queen. All in all this was a fantastic concert with exceptional acts, but Freddie and Queen stole the show. This was a benefit for famine relief in Ethiopia and each band was only allowed a 20 minute slot. This concert was happening in London at Wembley and another one was going on in Philadelphia along side this one so it was a whole day of great music and was broadcast around the world. It was on radio and TV everywhere. I remember the day well. Thanks for not stopping during Brian's solos, he is such a great guitar player, I love hearing him.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

That corrupted video has been the Bane of My Existence… SO FRUSTRATING!

[@sherryheim5504]

@@marciebulsaraorcutt I feel your pain!

[@dianecourtney2724]

Makes me desperately depressed at the end WHY ?? Do they do it ?

[@dianecourtney2724]

Hi Sherry I’m getting very upset with how this video has been changed !!

[@sherryheim5504]

@@dianecourtney2724 I don't know, somehow someone has changed the video or perhaps there were a couple of copies, I know one has the two comics dressed as policemen at the beginning and one had "Is It The World We Created" attached to the ending of the video. I have not seen either of those for a couple of months at least so maybe this is the only one still up and the others have been removed. If there is a way to see who posted this video to KZbin, perhaps we could contact them and find out if it can be remedied.

[@RiverSong5683]

You must know by now Freddie played the piano fabulously, usually while singing. But he had trouble sitting still for most live or any performances, he loved “performing” so much and making people happy, it made him want to be more a part of it than ever, the audiences responses. He actually doubted his ability on the piano, and after 1985 or so, someone else played his piano bits while he sang. But in early videos and performances, you can see how great a pianist he was. And of course, his voice was an instrument all in its own rights.

[@geek1027]

This concert was sold out before Queen was announced to be there.

[@charlieb.7028]

Sorry, just found you; so, I’m late to the Comment Section! I’m a 66 y/o Glamma. You seem to enjoy the background of things. And, I’m a Trivia sponge, so here goes: They had just completed a Tour a month b4. So, they went & rented a Stadium to practice the performance. He ended up with a Throat Infection & the Doctor highly recommended he not do it bc he might lose his musical ability. He said no! Can you tell he had a severe throat infection? Most people think he was drinking booze from the cups bc on the piano. He’s drinking Honey & Tea. His command of the Audience was more than coincidence it was miraculous. Considering there were so many people there the sound was getting absorbed through them. So the people @ the back we’re following his hand gestures bc the actual sound hadn’t even reached them b4 the next sound was coming @ them. Go back & watch what his hands are doing & what the Audience is doing. NEXT: Radio Gaga is celebrating Radio bc M-TV is just getting started. LADY GAGA was a huge Freddie Fam growing up, so That was where she came up with HER STAGE NAME! You have to listen to the words to really understand the meaning. Most of us didn’t have a clue what a Band looked like unless we saw them in Person! NEXT-MICROPHONE. At sometime along the way a Microphone Stand broke, so that was the only spilt second solution they could come up with. He realized the freedom he had to move, dance, & engage the Audience. NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON & ELVIS CONNECTION on Song THING CALLED LOVE: It was written as his homage to Elvis-Freddie was a big fan. But, he just wasn’t sure about the song bc he didn’t want to taint Elvis. SO, he played it for Michael J. (Yes, they were friends!). And Michael told him he HAD TO, he said “Freddie, you have to”! (Can’t you just see that!?). NEXT FREDDIE’s VOICE. HE HAD 4 extra teeth so that’s the reason he had such an overbite. He had the ability to naturally flow from Octave to Octave. It was a natural progression, for him. SCIENTIFICALLY: Test were done on his Voice. He was able to use his Throat muscles on either side of his vocal cords. Which is normally seen in some Opera Singers. His Vocal Range was from Low Bass F, to High Soprano F! They were extremely surprised to find out that he could go from about 92Hz to 784Hz, effortlessly! See ACTUAL REPORT BELOW: nyone who has listened to a Queen track knows that Freddie has a unique ability that still has not been truly replicated since. His ability to blend highs, lows and mid range notes cohesively and with immense precision. This skill was due to the fact that Freddie was able to create faster vibrato and harmonics than any other singer at the time. Not only this, he was able to shift through registers effortlessly. Although he naturally held a baritone voice, he primarily sang as a tenor and of course had no problem then shifting into soprano parts. One study on Freddie’s vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves! LAST FUN FACT: His Lead Guitarist is playing on a Guitar he & his Father made. When he first starting to learn they were too poor to afford a high end guitar. So, they just made one! The included some “extras” that would normally have to be separate instruments to get all those features (think Concerts when you see guitarist changing Guitars depending on the Song….that’s why he didn’t)! I’m sorry to take up your Valuable Time, and I thank you. You need anymore Trivia I’m your G’Ma go to. My Brain is full, especially with music, & believe it or not Sports! (When he is waving his arm it is to tell the cameramen which way he is going bc he’s moving around so much. And, “We Will Rock You”, is actually a Prelude to “We Are The Champions”. It is actually all 1 Song!)
