Live Aid will show you the incredible influence of Freddie with crowds, that audience was there for Live Aid, many bands playing for twenty minutes each on two continents, 10 satellites, 1 billion people watching, this in 1985!! Queen stole the show, Ay-Oh (a big hint for performance greatness) is known as the sound heard around the world!! Don't miss this, it's iconic!! ❤ Love you guys, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John!!! ❤

[@gastonsnaider227]

If you really want to see Freddie's stage presence on it's full glory, you need to do the Live Aid concert! It's only 20 minutes but it really showcases Queen and Freddie's live performance on their full potential. It is considered one of the greatest performances of all time by any band.

[@terrydavis7389]

the best live performance of all time.

[@celtasnake]

[@ozarklisa1199]

This song is legit an anti-depression therapy for me. Blast it and force myself to sing along. It never fails to lift my mood.

[@lisamckenzie148]

You are just scratching the surface. Brian May is one of the best rock guitarists of all time. Many guitarists including those in later heavy metal bands were influenced by May whose heavier sound soars throughout their Live at the Rainbow set. Roger Taylor's vocal range (the drummer) matches that of Mercury and really supported Freddie's voice during Live Concerts. Taylor and John Deacon on drums and bass glued everything together. Obviously, you are not deep into their catalogue, but they are all amazing musicians and songwriters. Only band that all 4 members wrote number 1 hits. Take a listen to some of the Live at the Rainbow set and you will get a deeper appreciation of how each member makes the others better. They always said the sum of the band was greater than each member alone (solo projects, etc.).

There will never come another Freddie Mercury. Godspeed for the most astonishing Voice Rock Music has ever heard.

[@davidschecter5247]

So sad he passed so young. What a talent. The whole band was brilliant, but Freddie was something really special. Like Ella, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and Karen Carpenter, these "voices" come along only once in a long, long time. There are many great singers, but these artists were in their own league.

[@jonathanjacques7250]

Freddie had the most amazing voice,gives me chills.

[@unclegnar]

Watch the Live Aid performance! It’s 18 minutes long, and they cover a range of their catalog and showcase their diversity!

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

Cool, each member had they're own unique 'engine', they were the first band to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame, all members had hit songs. Seen them live in 84 RDS Dublin, man oh man, something to behold.

[@emtadamd9488]

Friend of mine said he saw Queen in a small venue in Washington State while they were on their rise. He said it was the best live performance he’d ever seen, said Freddie was incredible to see in person.

[@itneverwasme]

Freddie was the best! Could sing any style from opera to metal.

[@lisaprince6996]

I was blessed to have seen Queen twice in concert. Incredibly amazing shows. Mr. Mercury was phenomenal and we’ll never have another prize like him!

[@LMTino]

My R&B a la Queen is a ballad from "Highlander" called ONE YEAR OF LOVE. Soars! For fun I love COOL CATS. You want a sampler shot of Queen LIVE, there's always LIVE AID 1985 (Global benefit concert for faminine in Ethiopia). Queen wasn't announced till late, but that didn't stop them from commanding right out of the gate.

[@terrieb13]

Love Queen! As others have suggested, Somebody to Love (live in Montreal, 1981) and Queen's set from the Live Aid concert from 1985. Incredible performances! 💖😎

[@susanconstable2113]

Freddie is and always will be the most amazing front man ever. He was a showman and had the most amazing voice.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Queen is my favorite band, and I don't say that lightly. Queen is my favorite band. One of the things that made them so incredible was that every band member wrote songs for Queen, which is why you get so many different kinds of songs from them.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Also, the Prince comparison is dead-on.

[@kimbermorgan1971]

Please do the whole Queen portion of Live Aid! It is the most amazing live performance ever!

[@Melly01]

Freddie owned any stage he stood on! Heck, he owned any space he stood in. One of a kind, that's for sure.

[@kareng4658]

Saw them live in 1978. One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen many. I was on the floor in the sixth row and for the encore we all walked up to the stage. I was 10 ft away from that man! High energy is what he was. And pure talent.

[@nem447]

One of those bands respected more retroactively than when they were actually together. Not that they weren't popular in their prime, but there were plenty of naysayers back then. Like John Travolta, they had a resurgence. For _Queen_ thanks to their _'Live Aid'_ performance!

[@lindahamilton5672]

I’ve been listening to Queen since the 1970’s and they just got better and better. Apart from Bohemian Rapsody, the Live Aid concert absolutely showcased their talent and Freddie’s vocal brilliance

[@tescherman3048]

Most people have no idea that the Guitarist Brian May @8:39 co-founded Queen with Freddie Mercury and went on to become a well-known Astrophysicist and was eventually Knighted. He has gone on to perform with Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.

[@rayforrester2564]

So fun fact all four members write and have written #1 hits for the band. For instance the bassist John Deacon wrote Another One Bites The Dust. The guitarist Brian May who is also a rocket scientist and astrophysicist wrote We Will Rock You. His voice his actually my favorite. Listen to the Queen song All Dead All Dead or Sail Away Sweet Sister. Brian sings on those. Also Freddie was bisexual. The Queen song Love Of My Life is about his true love Mary Austin. Give them a listen.

[@Sassypaws4927]

FYI - Freddie had an intriguing physical phenomenon called subharmonics that he used to drive his vocals to the limit. Subharmonic is a form of singing where the vocal folds vibrate along with a pair of tissue structures called ventricular folds. This form of singing is only used by Tuvan throat singers of Mongolia, except in a more extreme way. Also, Freddie’s vocal cords vibrated at 7.04 Hz - higher than a typical vibrato range of 5.4 Hz to 6.0 Hz. To put it more scientifically, the famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti produced a perfect sine wave for vibrato when he sang - a value of 1. Freddie, on the other hand, averaged a value of 0.57 - which means he was vibrating something in his throat even Pavarotti couldn’t move.

[@raysurx2010]

Just want to share that my brother and I, along with a cousin and a good buddy got to see Queen live in Oakland, CA, with Freddie. We were blown away by his stage presence and the bands amazing show. We were fans from their early beginnings, before they went pop. We didn't care for the pop songs very much, but it helped bring them to the masses. This song "Don't Stop me now" was not a big pop hit here in the US, but man I remember thinking, one day, people will actually listen to this song, and it will inspire a lot of people. Funny almost 40 years later it's more popular now than it was when it came out. My young nieces and nephews have adopted this song as one of their favorite Queen songs. Last year 2 of them performed the song via Karaoke during a Christmas Gathering. I love hearing young kids listening and appreciating great music of yesterday. Thanks to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie that for me finally gave Freddie the world wide acclaim that was due to him.

[@jameyrodgers7508]

I saw them at the Oakland Coliseum as well. My first concert in 1978. Amazing!

All of Queen's Live Aid performance was soooo gooood!!! Queen apparently was not scheduled to appear at Live Aid but they were called at the last minute to fill a vacant spot, may have been a group that no-showed. Freddie apparently also had a high fever during the whole performance but you couldn't tell! What a legendary band and Live Aid performance!!!

[@thetrappedchatterbox7941]

I second any and all comments on doing a Queen live aid reaction. You will have never seen any performance where the frontman has absolute control over a whole stadium. He's without doubt the greatest frontman there's ever been. Even when he met the band as they were looking for a singer he told them "I'm going to be a legend."

[@REBMeTaL]

Queen’s “Somebody to Love” video live in Montreal ‘81 is incredible. That is a must watch. Long runs, y’all would really enjoy it!!

[@Sconstable]

Trust…live was MAGIC! Five concerts with Freddie on lead. All at Oakland Coliseum. Had our Union Jack out (general seating in the day). Bunch of fellow Brits told us to come to their section (we did). Had closer seats. When the encores were happening and they played God Save The Queen, the band saw our section and our HUUUUGE British flag, they all pointed and came over to our side and bowed to us. Awesome.

From "Men's Health" Magazine, May 2021: "Ever notice a song come on and before you know it, you’re boogieing the night a way or you’re singing every lyric. Certain songs just have that effect on you. But now researchers have crunched the numbers and turns out there is indeed a happiest song on earth. According to a new study conducted by the University of Missouri, Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ is the happiest song on earth. After surveying a group of 2000 Brits about their favourite tracks, neuroscientist Jacob Jolij devised a happiness formula by analysing 126 songs over a 50 year period. Jolij determined beats per minute, the key, theme and examined the lyrics of songs that had the highest score. ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ fits the bill, and fittingly, two-thirds of study participants listed the banger as their favourite tune. “The pattern was very clear. The average tempo of a ‘feel good’-song was substantially higher than the average pop song. Where the average tempo of pop songs is around 118 beats per minute (BPM), the list of feel good songs had an average tempo of around 140 to 150 BPM,” writes Jolij."

Freddie's fashion sense comes from his education. Freddie had a degree in Graphic Design, Fashion and Advertising. He felt that Queen needed to have an image that would make people interested in them, even before they saw the show. This is my feel good song. If I am having a bad day or I wake up grumpy, I play this song and my mood changes. This is an absolute mood elevator. Thank you for your reaction. If you want to see a completely different side of Freddie but one that shows his outstanding vocal abilities and piano skills, along with Dr. Brian May's (PhD in Astrophysics) unbelievable guitar skills and flat out just lets you see the talent of all four members of this group, you need to react to Queen: White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith, Dec. 24, 1975. It is so hard to believe it is live and no auto tune back then either. It is perfect! In my opinion, it is one of the most incredible live performances ever, by any band.
