Now I'm Here by Queen | Full Album Reaction

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Gotta watch the live version from Wembley 1986 - even more energetic and a great performance. 👍🏼

[@aprilebert157]

I agree 100% the Wembley live is the best version of this song.

[@cspole3435]

🙌🏼 100% 🙌🏼

[@HelgeKS]

Best is hammersmith 1979 hands down!

@@HelgeKS Yes the Hammersmith version! It is very underrated, but Wembley is great as well.

This song was written about Queens 1974 tour of the USA as the support act for Mott The Hoople (All The Young Dudes, All The Way From Memphis, Golden Age Of Rock & Roll). The tour had been badly planned with them virtually crossing the country between gigs then being back to somewhere within a few miles of the first gig. During the tour Brian May contracted Hepatitis and Ian Hunter, lead singer of Mott caught Flu resulting in both having to cancel some gigs. If you listen to the words you can hear the line "Down in the city just Hoople and me" The "Now I'm here" line being repeated and swapped between left and right is reference to them being sent almost coast to coast. Incidentally Ian Hunter wrote a book about the tour called "Diary Of A Rock 'n' Roll Star" which was published as written, spelling mistakes included. It's said to be the most accurate depiction of a rock band on tour in the 70s.

Got the book, got picture with ian, and was at 2009 and 2013 mth reunion

[@piadinus7239]

Mott the Hoople had been the best rock band in the middle of beatles and queen. And queen learned a lot touring with them. Mick ralphs penned some of the most lovely guitar riffs. Rock and roll queen, the all the young dudes solo intro, cant get enough, ready for love, roll away the stone, etc.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Freddie leaving us and all day I have been playing tunes around my house and watching reaction videos just like this. Thank you for introducing others to enjoy the magic that is Queen. God Bless You Freddie. GBNF !

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

Here's another voice being thrown behind the Wembley '86 live version, it's simply.....WOW!

[@debramoore7513]

Live at Wembley 1986 please as Part 2!! OMG - Love this song live!! Thank you so much for the Sheer Heart Attack album reaction! 👍👍

[@kathleenohare8770]

Great reaction...can't wait for LAP OF THE GODS

[@ben1ben]

Live they absolutely killed this song, this is for Roger as he said himself the most exhausting song to play on Drums, but its so understandable of the way they play it live. So impressive and amazing, and in my opinion Live better than the studio version. I like the Live at the Rainbow and Hammersmith performance but *especially* Live at Wembley 1986, so much energy. Stone Cold Crazy is another banger from this album. Can't wait for lap of the gods too Roger's high notes are so Angelic. Great reaction.

[@ScottDeBerg]

One of their live staples. Great song, one of my fave Queen tracks, ever.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Another great reaction! This is a song that is just always better live, a great and underrated live version is Now I Here live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1979, and of course the Wembley 1986 version.

[@manuelchalas7957]

THIS SONG LIVE IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY

[@williamg209two]

yesssssss, in the uk on channel 5 they have a freddie mercury documentary on at 9pm gmt today, i think its owned by paramount so im not sure if you guys can get it or not

[@thefacultyoffunk]

Great Album, had this on reel to reel in the 70s!

[@Katehowe3010]

How to blow Mott The Hoople off countless stages circa 74/75!

[@spawnthecrazy]

You guys should react to ABBA too. Not the new album out, but from the first one to their last one before they split in 1982. I think you two would enjoy it. :)

[@bjw0515]

Please do "A Night at the Opera". Love your channel, both seem really interested in the music. Like they have said before the Wembley concert of this song is a great performance and well worth watching.

[@yumiyumi1456]

Found you two through BTS, but being a huge fan of Queen myself, so delighted to see these reaction videos!!! My favorite album is Queen II but SheetHeart Attack was the first one I bought. Now I’m Here was the opening song of their live, it was stunning! Lighting, make up, costumes, everything was just mesmerizing . Anyway, I shall keep checking your reaction vids!! Btw, Roger Taylor just finished his UK tour with his band -which he doesn’t play drums- he still rocks!

[@davmtu]

Might be my favorite Queen song. Love this.

[@LMTino]

Hard to believe the variety on this album...and on the other albums. SHEER SCOPE ofn Queen is so much...style.

[@peggyh8937]

For some reason, (I don't know why) I didn't like this song the first couple times I heard it. Now, it's one of my favorites! I like the 1986 live at Wembley version. Thanks for the reaction!

[@janettesinclair6279]

Now you will have to seek out the live versions of your favourite Queen songs to compare. Both studio and live are superb, but live adds an extra dimension -.especially in Now I'm Here! Please try it.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

One of my favourites too love it 😍

[@vespoint]

This is the song they’ve played live the most often, for good reason! My fave Queen song and the reason I always visit The Dungeon when I’m in New Orleans.

[@hippiejane2683]

Written by Brian May about their first American tour as backup for Mott the Hoople when he got so sick they had to take him home (You made me live again).

[@cyann410]

I am here for your BTS reactions, but you are taking me back to my youth ! Thank you ! Wow, BTS and Queen! Does a channel get any better than this ?

[@Scoobydcs]

1 of my favourite queen tracks!

[@joebarrera9741]

Another great song!!!

[@RoverWaters]

the core of Queen

[@p.p.8022]

You have to react to live performance! Freddie is amazing! So entertaining and lively 💗🤘🤘

[@piadinus7239]

At high school i asked the teacher "i can't translate ...down in the city just Hoople and me.. what Hoople means?" Later i got a book that explained Hoople was Mott the Hoople. I bought the mth greatest hits and after few piano notes of All the way from Memphis i became a mott/hunter/ralphs/ronson fan. You should try a video reaction at some mott the hoople/Ian Hunter/bad company songs

[@johnnie3Chords]

I always wished Brian was play this song live with a Les Paul , he used to have one on stage with him in the early- mid 70's .

[@kuntumhapsari5364]

Finally Queen is here

[@notanotherenigma7759]

At the end, "go, go, go, little Queenie..." No doubt to honour the Rolling Stones...

[@Katehowe3010]

More likely Chuck Berry!

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

It is a call back to Chuck Berry.

[@Katehowe3010]

@@ZENOBlAmusic They're quoting Chuck.

[@notanotherenigma7759]

Yes, originally written by Chuck, but listen to the music.. Stones...

[@notanotherenigma7759]

Ok, I did read somewhere that it was aimed at the Rolling Stones, but can't find it on Google. So I guess I'll have to go along with Chuck Berry...

[@dianecostanza]

I enjoy this whole album much better live on stage. You get a better idea of the genius of each song.

[@johnnie3Chords]

Great album , Brian was very sick while this album was being recorded mostly without Brian , until Brian could add his parts when he was feeling better .

[@thomaskennedy5728]

Eddie van halen also played this song. Eddie like this song.

[@pinkey943]
