BEST Performance - Queen Live Aid 1985 4k Reaction

[@trishc3099]

I very much appreciate it when a reactor has enough respect for the band to put themselves in the small box. Thank you.

[@Galantus1964]

Well said

[@pipmaple]

I was fortunate to be there that baking hot day and it’s one of the best experiences of my life

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I’m lucky I just experienced it on television, can’t imagine the feeling live! I was just 9 at the time but I was glued in front of the telly and remember very cleary Freddie in particular.

[@valclark2249]

I envy you, I was crashed on my sofa with a stonking migraine that day.

[@scottclark7309]

Enri you have officially been QUEENED!!! R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

[@AnnieluLucy]

This wasn't even a Queen audience, yet managed to completely dominate the entire concert. The other famous groups gathered behind when they heard Queen was killing it

[@scottclark7309]

Queen left their imprint on the world and will continue to do so for generations to come

[@scottclark7309]

Your right no fireworks no fancy costumes no fancy lights just pure talent !!

Freddie greatest front man ever in the world of music

[@susanengland3919]

It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”

[@BonniBarlow-fn6oj]

Apparently Freddie responded to Elton's comment - referring to some outlandish clothes Elton was wearing: I know, darling, and you looked like the bloody Queen of England in that outfit."

[@Seagull6819]

David Bowie followed Queen and apparently said to Freddie to put it politely “You illegitimate chap” …. or words to that effect!

[@IslaSkye123]

I watched this on MTV in 1985. ❤ 👑 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧

[@peacemaker6662]

The irony is not lost on me that one of the song's is Radio GaGa ;-)

[@moniquecopeland5711]

Great reaction. Very much appreciated.😊 I am a biracial female who grew up on rap and hip-hop music in the 90s-2000s. Never did I think in a million years that I would fall in love with a deceased rockstar decades after his death. ( I used to despise rock music 😞) I went to see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody back in 2018 on a whim and I walked out the door a changed person. I was familiar with a couple of their top hits but nothing else. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you were jealous of Freddie because he has a sense of freedom. That is exactly what I felt when I watched that movie and fell in love with Freddie and Queen that day. He exudes a sense of someone who lives his life on his terms and is enjoying it to its fullest! Not only that but Freddie and the entire band put on master class live performances. Excellent musicianship! so you think some of us may have watched this performance 30 to 40 times? Would you believe I have watched it in the thousands. When I came home from the movies that day I googled this performance and have watched it countless times every single day since 2018. Not only the original version but I have watched hundreds and hundreds of reaction videos like yours and I love and appreciate each and everyone of them. I hope you enjoy more additional Queen performances. I would highly recommend their Queen Wembley 86 concert. It is a full length concert and it is every bit as good as their live aid performance in my opinion.😊

[@TammyDenney]

I was so happy and proud to read your beautiful comment. Thank you so much . Freddie and Queen have been in my life for over 40 years and it makes me so happy to hear praise for Freddie . Aside from everything else, he was the most beautiful soul that was ever created. Thanks again. ❣️ This is for Monique Copeland.

[@moniquecopeland5711]

@@TammyDenneyaww. Thank you so much for the kind words! He truly did change who I am inside.. being a mixed race person, I grew up, feeling a little ashamed of that and hiding parts of who I was because of it. Freddie gave me the courage to embrace my true self. 🙏 have a beautiful day!

[@peacemaker6662]

There are only two types of music... stuff you like and stuff you don't. If you 'won't listen to music because of the genre' then you are only limiting yourself. Don't stunt yourself for how others will view you. It's just silly and the only one it hurts will be you.

[@tomjacobs2014]

Very Well said! Totally agree.

[@moniquecopeland5711]

@@peacemaker6662 hi, at the time as a teenager young adult I just did not like rock music at all not because of it’s genre per se because it musically did not appeal to me.

[@Immortalheart66]

To the micro second the light turned red on the last note. Nothing will ever beat this. Freddie is the “king” of the frontmen. Grand reaction!!!!🔥🔥✊🤘✌️

[@tinasjostrand2677]

That red light coming on still makes me smile everytime 🙂 now, that is perfection.

❤This is the best visual quality of this performance I've seen.

So glad you loved it. I’ve watched hundreds of reactions to this and still love it. Great reaction. 👍🏾😁

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Freddie was a generous, kind, thoughtful, caring, loving guy, and the band took part at several charity concerts, even in the early days.

[@GreatestFrontman]

… yes and he should still be here today ✨♥️😢🌠

[@deborahallen3318]

The greatest hidden gem in the Queen catalog is " White Queen " A Night at the Odeon, Hammersmith Live 1975. WARNING: This song will break your brain, but it's worth every second. A 50 year Queenie would never steer you wrong. Thank you for reacting to Queen 🫶👑💙🌈

[@sherryheim5504]

I agree! That performance of White Queen is my favorite live performance ever from any band.

[@trishc3099]

It's 100% my favorite!

[@peacemaker6662]

Queen II was their best album... no question in my mind!

Mum and dad made me watch ALL live aid in '85 I was 12 and bored stiff😂. Uncultured child I was! 😂. So glad ive grown older and appreciate what iconic, incredible music I grew up with.

[@christinejohnson9987]

❤so awesome 😎, holds up so well all these years later. Thankyou ❤ Rip Freddie. There can be only one 🫶🏻

[@joyceharkin3641]

Everyone thinks they don’t know any Queen songs! Enjoyed your reaction! Queen were a very tight, professional band. They rehearsed this set and got it to exactly twenty minutes. Brian May said the acoustics were so bad that they couldn’t hear one another and you can see lots of visual cues between them. Freddie’s voice was showing the strain as the set progressed but you can also hear Roger’s voice getting louder and louder to compensate and support him. Four brilliant musicians at the top of their game. Did you notice Brian switched guitars three times during Crazy Little thing called love?

[@MikeSmith-ry8hi]

What’s mind blowing to me is that THIS GUY so alive and animated and healthy would die only around 6 years later. What a terrible, awful loss.

[@Isleofskye]

Yes, Mike and the Doctor ordered him not to perform as he was sick on that day, yet he still seemed so alive.

[@kilgore1863]

What a terrible disease AIDS was. Powerful and in his prime here, and just a couple years later he’s dead.

[@IslaSkye123]

"Bohemian Rhapsody" "Radio Ga Ga" "Aye-Oh" "Hammer to Fall" "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" "We Will Rock You" "We Are the Champions"

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

I can fill in who wrote the songs: BR was written by Freddie, Radio G-G by the drummer, Roger Taylor, Hammer to fall by the guitarist Brian May, Crazy little thing called love by Freddie, WWRY by Brian and We are the champions by Freddie. John Deacon, the bassist, wrote some of the most popular songs - but none of them "fit" this occasion.

[@sherryheim5504]

This is an epic set from this concert. Nobody does a stadium like Queen. Set List: Bohemian Rhapsody (Mercury), Radio Ga-Ga (Taylor), Ay-Oh (call and response), Hammer To Fall (May), Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Mercury), We Will Rock You (May), We Are The Champions (Mercury). Brian May plays three different guitars on Crazy Little Thing Called Love to get that old time rock and roll sound. Accoustic, Telecaster and his own (built by him and his dad when he was a teen from junk laying around the house)Red Special. The band rehearsed for days making sure that their set was within the time limits. They had a lot of song choices but this is what they could fit into the set time. Some are sped up a bit some shortened a bit, but they got it done and they stole the show. Thank you for your reaction.

[@lisaargyrou1488]

❤️ beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 👍 next white queen from their live concert at odeon Hammersmith please 🥺❤️

[@aaronpage3841]

I must have watched this a hundred times and every time I watch it, it make it even more sad of what a tragedy it was to loose Freddie so prematurely. The fact that Queen still often top the streaming charts 40 years on, proves that it the 2020’s they are probably the greatest band ever

[@maryadamec124]

Thanks Enri, so glad you enjoyed this performance (London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, PA) so much... yes, this two-venue concert was satellite broadcast to 40% of the world's population at the time, 1.9 billion people... BUT... you missed the best part... Queen was asked to do an encore to close the London half of the concert... they came back and did a short song called "Is This The World We Created?"... the highlight of the performance... if you download from the Live Aid channel, they usually won't block it... please try to watch it... well worth the time... also, check out Freddie's very beginning BEFORE Queen, he recorded two songs under the name of "Larry Lurex"... (he never wanted to be known for singing covers of anybody else's songs, thus the psuedonym)... "Goin' Back" and "I Can Hear Music".... TY again for playing Queen's music, the BEST in the world... blessings.

[@marvalstith2749]

Have seen 100's of times . . . Now first time noticing hearing/seeing Deaky's initial bass stroke behind Freddie's voice..and subsequent amazing unheralded contribution. Yes, headset in place!

[@lizzie_anne1218]

Love this reaction! I’m another one who thinks you’d love White Queen at Hammersmith ‘75. Completely different sound from anything played here but it shows their range as musicians and is just so hauntingly beautiful. Would love to see your thoughts!!

[@nancyweirum426]

Leaves you speechless.

[@jpdmufc]

It looked like you were speechless at one point, it is a fantastic performance by a great man and band,glad you enjoyed it! The second song was radio gaga

[@loisvansciver9194]

The greatest live performance of all time ❤. They are the greatest period

[@DannyConsciousLiving]

Awesome reaction bro! You can see now why we love this so much!! So glad to see how hyped you got! You won’t be disappointed going forward as this level remains in all their live performances. This was just done on a show that wasn’t an official Queen concert even though in those 20 minutes it really was like it was! When you know more Queen songs definitely react to the Wembley 1986 full concert if you can! It was the last televised performance Freddie did with the band before he became ill and that show was phenomenal! For now though I’d also recommend White Queen 1975 live performance. You also have fat bottomed girls, killer queen and who wants to live forever

[@DannyConsciousLiving]

Oh and in answer to your question that song you asked about was Radio Ga Ga. You also have Hammer To Fall and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I recommend doing those songs soon too so you’re familiar with the studio song.

[@michaelcroteau5919]

I was two weeks shy of 6 years old when my 12 year old sister made me watch this live on television. I still remember it was a beautiful summer day. I didn’t realize how special it really was.

Great reaction! Never tire of hearing Freddie sing and of course the band who all sing too. I would love to hear you react to Who wants to live forever! It's incredible his voice his passion is outstanding. Live at Wembley please

[@davidrichards6509]

There's an old showbiz adage that says always leave them wanting more. There have been a very few entertainment acts in history that have truly embodied that mantra like Freddie and his fellow Queen co-conspirators. The first two tracks on the Queen album "News of the World" (the one with the giant automaton holding the band members in one of his hands) are, in this order, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" and to my knowledge from the release of that album until Freddie's last concert performance with Queen every Queen concert leaves them wanting more by ended with those two songs in that same order.

[@MissSJ4429]

No earpiece, no autotune, no backing track. Freddie was a legend. I remember watching this while I started getting contractions. My son was born the next morning. So the Live Aid concert is extra special to me 🤩

David Bowie was scheduled to go on next. He was heard saying backstage "How the hell am I supposed to follow THAT"

[@ellet6560]

"About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar." ~ Freddie. (But he managed to write "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" with those three chords which was Queen's first #1 hit in the US.) We Will Rock You was shortened. It actually has three verses. Queen rehearsed diligently for Live Aid taking great care to build a 20 minute set list that would immediately and sustainably engage the audience. There were a few other notable performances but many fell flat by not bringing energy and zeal to the stage. I can guarantee that anyone watching across the globe participated in "AY-OH" through their tele sets. Thanks.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Great reaction, Man. It was a singular performance. I saw it on MTV, in July 1985, at age 11. The thing is: In The 1980s, We expected these kinds of immortal performances. We appreciated them, absolutely...but, We expected it. If you haven't already, catch Tina Turner's live performances. LEGENDARY.

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Enri - you posted this even sooner than promised... you should know that Queen (and all other performers) were limited to a 20-minute set.. and they were asked not to do "new music"... so they did everything they could within those limitations... Freddie was the star, as always... but give it up for the rest of the band!...appreciate your reaction... (p.s. Queen was a last-minute addition to the event.. tickets were already sold before... so seeing Queen was kind of a "bonus" I suppose...lol)

[@robertdesantis5272]

Great reaction, sir! Thank you for your admiration of Freddie and Queen!

[@AliT0555]

Queen were so professional that they rented out a theatre for a week to rehearse and had their people go out and purchase a bunch of large clocks that they positioned around the stage so that they could time everything out. BORAP and We Will Rock You were shortened and the other songs had the tempo speed up to fit within the time limit. I read somewhere that Brian and Roger weren’t sure that Freddie should do his Call & Response since this was not a Queen audience! But Freddie being Freddie knew how to control a crowd!

[@lornapaningbatan711]

No auto tune, no synthesizers just PURE TALENT! Despite Freddie having a throat infection, he still gave his 100% to entertain the fans who were there. Not all of the audience are Queen fans, but after their performance, who wouldn't be impressed by the band Queen and Freddie Mercury. When they performed, Freddie always encouraged the fans to participate as if they are part of the band. IMO. Freddie is the greatest front man all time. Nothing compares! Thank you for your great reaction. Hope you continue to react to Queen, there are so many gems that you need to hear and see and you will not be disappointed. Please react to White Queen at Hammersmith Odeon and Another one bites the dust and lastly You Take my Breath away at Hyde Park 1976

[@TammyDenney]

72,000 people in attendance and 1.9 Billion people watched from around the world. Freddie performed against doctor’s orders with a throat infection. Freddie said it felt like broken glass when he sang . Live are made 140 million dollars for famine in Africa. That was a lot of money back then. When the boys left the stage a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million Dollars. Thank you for your beautiful comments. You must watch the Milton Keynes concert live at the bowl. It’s a must see. ❣️

[@RoverWaters]

"1.9 Billion people watched from around the world" sounds absurd and uneducated claim

[@barbarakeyock532]

Great reaction everyone nowadays watching this has the same reaction when they start we will rock you. when freddy played guitar it was a song he wrote as a tribute to elvis. I saw them in the 70's in pennsylvania. I still get chills watching these reactions. Never gets boring. Killer Queen is powerful and Somebody to Love live montreal 1980. You will be blown away again.

That old Wembley held 100,000 and I know there was no one at the end behind the stage but that still leaves around 65,000/70,000 THEN add all those endless thousands in the pitch:) Officially only 72,000 He was sick that day and ordered not to perform and they were only one of 20 Acts yet you would have thought that was a Queen audience:)

[@mandysworkshop]

I love first time reactions. Many who never listened to Queen before are fans now. I listen to them on Live Aid almost everyday. Perfect harmony, perfect instrumental talent, and great energy. Freddie Mercury is a legend we’ll never forget. It’s like he lives on in our hearts. I loved Queen when I was young and I love them even more at 59. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody… your mind will be blown.

[@irenedownie6559]

That shows how good a time-keeper Roger Taylor is! Over 20 minutes of a performance and he timed it perfectly. Queen are THE best for me so I’m glad you appreciated them in your great reaction. ❤

[@sheilapurcell515]

Not only did he perform when he had a bad throat. He continued to make music and videos until months before his death from Aids He had to wear layers of clothes to keep warm even thosr these hurt his skin,at that point he gad lost half his foot and standing was painful. After finishing what they thought was the last album Freddie continued to write songs as did the others. Normally Freddie would do yhe words after the music was written, but he couldn't wsit he did recording ofthe words on a drum machine,doing each line 3 times and he told the band to finish off. He knew he would be gone by then. Freddie lost his sight and became bed ridden, knowing he would never record again he stopped his meds and prepared to die. So brave x

I'm 67 years old now but as a 27 year old I was in that tent in the middle of the stadium as the lighting engineer terrified I would get it wrong , I've done thousands of concerts in my life but that set was the best ever ,rip the goat

[@RaichnotTHATrach]

I was there that day in 1985 as a 15yr old pop music lover... I left that day as a convert to rock music, thanks mainly to Freddie & Co... You need to remember that this was NOT a Queen concert or even a Queen audience, in fact they were a last minute addition to the line up. That said for 22 minutes that afternoon Freddie had close to 73,000 people in Wembley and almost 1.9 billion watching on TV globally eating out of the palm of his hand. David Bowie followed Queen that day and was in the wings when they came off stage and apparently said to Freddie something along the lines of "thanks you b'stard, how the f*** am I supposed to follow that?"😂😂 I was lucky enough to see them again the following year on their "Magic" tour, Status Quo opened for them (BONUS) and Queen certainly didn't disappoint. I'm now a 55yr old woman who's been to 300ish live rock concerts over the years, everyone from Guns n Roses to ACDC to Uriah Heep, Meatloaf, Status Quo, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi (48 times 😂), The Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry) to H.I.M and the 69 Eyes.. but that 22 minutes right there is still by far the best 22 minutes of live greatness EVER! And one show that has never left my memory! God bless you Freddie and Thank you for the music.. Rest In Paradise you legend 👑👑👑

[@janethernandez724]

Excellent reaction Enri! Yay! I just subscribed today! I remember watching this on television when it was broadcasted in 1985! How many in that crowd? Back then the stadium could hold 72,000 people but then there was J.F. Kennedy also doing Live Aid simultaneously in Philadelphia and they had 89,000 people watching there too, it was estimated at 1.5 billion people watched Live Aid in 1985! Song Set: Song 1. Bohemian Rhapsody Song 2. Radio Ga Ga written by drummer Roger Taylor Song 3. Hammer to Fall written by lead guitarist Brian May Song 4. Crazy Little Thing called Love written by Freddie as his tribute to Elvis in 1979 Song 5 We Will Rock You written by Brian May Song 6. We Are the Champions. Written by Freddie Mercury Yes, this is considered Classic Rock now. Right? You knew some of those songs and didn't know it was Queen! No judgement Enri, just know we openly welcome you to the world of Queen! You did wonderfully for this reaction, you had to pause for the right reasons that's fine, we are just glad you had the same experience we had when we watched it on television! Enri, you may want to react to Radio Ga Ga, inspired by Roger Taylor's then toddler at the time, to write that song, Hammer to Fall is another good one you may like to watch in full, the song "Another one Bites the Dust" written by John Deacon, the song "Killer Queen", and "Seven Seas of Rye", and "Keep Yourself Alive, and "I Want it All", and "One Vision" the extended version, oh and after that then treat yourself to watch "Queen - One Vision (Making Of) (High Quality) - from the Chinwonder2 channel, you may have to pause and return back to what you already heard on that too just like you did with Live Aid. That one is a documentary you may be interested in watching them inside the studio during various days of recording the song, trying to get the lyrics to sound right, and trying to get the right sound, and trying to put it all together, it will show them having some fun at the same time, so yeah, give a reaction! I enjoyed your video reactions and looking forward to more! Peace. ☮

[@janettesinclair6279]

As you said, Freddie was meant to do this! And you can see what a great rapport he had with the crowd, he made the connection with his fans. All four guys in the band were superb together, both musically and as songwriters. PS There are several full length recorded concerts (just under 2 hours long) on KZbin if you want the real Queen experience!

[@micheletrainor1601]

I was 10 when Live Aid happened I lived in the Persian Gulf as an expat . My school held a sleepover at the school in the main hall with all our parents and teachers as it was history in the making, so we along with them were all singing/dancing with a BBQ outside as we had all been raising money as a school so this was a thank you to us all . Such a incredible core memory that i cherish.

[@kerrieharrison4773]

I saw Queen the following year on their It's a kind of Magic tour at Man Cities football ground, just as amazing. The most poignant performance to me though is when he knew he was dying and he performed Barcelona in advance of the Barcelona Olympics with Montserrat Caballe. She said to him that they could sing it again at the Olympics but knew he couldn't. Such an amazing band and he was an amazing man.😊

[@dazsmith3201]

72,000 people at Wembley. No sound check before going on, and the crowd were not all Queen fans (lots of other acts performing on the day) yet Freddie Mercury commanded them all! Freddie had a throat infection that day and was advised by doctors not to perform...and he STILL nailed it!! Queen stole the entire show!! And as for the guitarist...not bad for a home made instrument!! Don't forget another band had to follow this and go on after them!!

[@Clapk5978]

I very much enjoyed your reaction. I would love to see more reactions to Queen. Another good song is Kind of Magic live at Wembley. The list is endless of Queen bangers!

I appreciate someone who has done some research in order to appreciate the performance. The song you asked about was 'Radio Gaga', from which Lady Gaga is said to have taken her stage name. They had rehearsed for a week to get that performance down to the second. Professionals to the bone.

Welcome to Queen, Freddie Mercury lead singer led singer & piano, Dr Sir Brian May, lead guitar & vocals, Roger Taylor, drums & vocals & John Deacon, bass guitar! All 4 have degrees & all 4 have written no 1 hits & are all in The hall of fame! Pls react to Queen live in Montreal “Somebody to Love” it will blow you away! Arguably their greatest live performance after Live Aid. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 & thank you!

Now you know. Now you get it. There's so much to say about all the members of Queen, but this is probably a distillation of everything that made them great. They weren't just amazingly talented, the were ultimate professionals. Unlike almost every other performer at Live Aid, Queen rehearsed for a week, with huge clocks around them, to hone their set to exactly 20 minutes. You were right on the mark when you said that it seemed that Freddie felt free onstage. Performing, connecting with the audience, allowed Freddie to be unapologetically himself. Please react to more Queen, and also other 1960s-1970s rock. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Radio Ga Ga....Hammer to fall.....Crazy little thing called Love....We will rock you & finally We are the Champions! Evrry band had 20mins to perform. There was a clock counting down & if they didnt finish on time their sound would be cut. Never happened.....ultimate professionals....no auto tune just pure talent. Only band who could sound better live! Freddie's voice.....Perfection ❤

I was at that gig I was at the front behind the U2 flag. I was 17 a day to remember.
