Live Aid was a charity event to raise money for the famine in Africa. Each artist was given a 20 min set to perform. Queen took this opportunity very seriously and practiced a week or two to get the 20 min set perfect. They even had a giant clock in the rehearsals!! Queen blew everybody away and to this day this performance is considered the best in rock history considering the event circumstances. Over 72,000 were there & over a billion people watched around the world. Queen was amazing & said that this was truly Freddie’s day!! The Dr. told Freddie not to perform cuz of the nodules in his throat - the rest is rock history!!! A big shout out to the other members of Queen - Brian May, Roger Taylor, & John Deacon!! Btw, Freddie was bisexual so I’m sure both men & women would’ve gone home with Freddie that day! 🤪 Freddie’s endurance is unmatched .... a normal Queen concert lasted over two hours. Freddie was a boxer - hence the Adidas shoes plus he said they were comfortable!! Queen is one of the best selling bands of all time!!! You should react to NOW I’M HERE live at Wembley 1986.

Freddie Mercury is one of the best male vocalists to ever live. Such an incredible imprint he left with his music and creativity. My dad was a huge queen. So glad some one recommended this.

[@nemesis9891]

Freddy is considered the number 1 greatest vocalist in the world then and now. Make no mistake the is no one who can compair.

[@heatherqualy9143]

That drummer is TOTALLY “doing his thing”. That would be Roger Taylor, and besides those drums, he is the other voice you’re hearing throughout. He has all the high harmonies and was almost clairvoyant at knowing exactly which notes to jump in and cover whenever Freddie’s voice got strained. The entire band was that tight at reading each other’s cues. One more reason that they dominated the live scene.

[@joyceharkin3641]

Agree totally. You can hear Roger's voice getting louder and louder as the set goes on and Freddie's voice is beginning to strain. Roger is barely seen in the video but he was phenomenal. B May said that the acoustics were so bad onstage that they couldn't even hear one another. A really remarkable performance down to the whole band's professionalism.

Queen was 4 equal people, Freddie was the first to say this. All were university graduates, all song writers, and multi instrumentalists. Freddie lead vocals, piano sometimes guitar degree in graphic design. Brian lead guitar, backing vocals, sometimes piano now has PhD in Astrophysics. Roger drummer (as well as guitar, bass piano-- his songs were mostly complete when he brought them to the group) high backing vocals, degree in Biology. John bass, (guitar piano etc) only one that really didn't sing, degree in electrical engineering.

[@kelleeholmes9448]

And they had a unique sound because Decan (bass) invented the amp they used, and to this day no one has been able to replicate it. What you had up there was the cast from the "big bang theory" with instruments and a mic in their hands. All 4 were geniuses in thier field, and as can be seen in music as well. They are all legends that will never be matched. Can you imagine having to be one of the bands to play after them that night? How do you live up to the standard they just dropped on that stage? 😂😂

He had female lovers before he came out as gay. And all those female lovers (Rosemary Pearson and Mary Austin) said that they broke up bc he was gay. Days Of our Lives documentary is a manipulated by Jim Beach, Queen manager and PR, who still doesn't want to bring up anything about homosexuality. I only count on Freddie's friends including Mary, Brian and Roger. I didn't ask himself since nobody can, but I read all of his friends' books and interviews about him. Try watching "Freddie the untold story" and "Freddie's loves" documentaries. Solid facts. I am not talking about my opinions or the thing I have heard from people who were remotely related to Freddie. And Freddie defined himself as gay, I read it from multiple places. Sorry but just facts, nothing else. BTW he and Barbara (she wasn't French if you're talking about her) were very close friends and she didn't leave him bc of AIDS, Freddie kicked her out because she was constantly lying about Freddie being in love with herself. Barbara was a liar. Her daughter later confessed it. The thing is Freddie was living in Munich in 83-84 and he had a boyfriend in there Winnie Kirchberger, this is when Freddie met Barbara. Barbara was their friend and their translator, German to English cuz neither Winnie knew english nor Freddie knew German.

Freddie was once asked what his favorite instrument to play was, his answer "the audience, darling." The dude had laryngitis that day. His voice was thrashed and yet he mustered the strength to bust out one of the best performances ever. We may never see his like again. Thankfully we have these videos and these songs to come back to. There was a lot of excellent artists at that same concert too. I'd argue that every artist on that roster has at least a handful of hits you'd like. Queen is just up in the Pantheon of rock. The first song that they played a bit of, Is sometimes regarded as the greatest song ever written. There's a lot of debate around that but I can definitely see why. There's a reason why anytime people hear those opening chords, everyone sings along with "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Any Queen live will never disappoint. Unlike most if not all artists, Queen was better than the editing equipment used in studio versions, it actually took away from their talent instead of helping it.

Listen to " White Queen live at the Odeon" It was from the 70's, the instrumental will put you in a trance.

Nice reaction. Somebody To Love live at Montreal 1981, very popular performance.

I'm so glad you can grasp his / their talent at first sight!

[@debwebster6608]

Next one has to be Somebody to Love, live in Montreal 1981. Just do it!

[@nicoletodd9934]

Yes!!!

[@deborahsevi5729]

Freddy was outstanding. RIP 😊❤😢

[@gen81465]

Freddie Mercury said some time later that he was only at about 70% strength because of his health. Queen wasn't originally scheduled to play that day. They were added after the event tickets had already been sold. They also didn't want to perform like every other artist or band. Others were only interested in promoting their latest hits or albums. Queen decided to do things a bit differently, which is why they played a lot of older (more familiar) stuff of theirs, except Hammer To Fall. It also explains the simplicity of the stage setup, the lights, and even the way they dressed. They didn't want the performance to be about being flamboyant; they wanted it to be all about the music. The next act to go on stage, after Queen, was the legendary David Bowie. It's noted that as he passed by Queen on his way to the stage, he was upset at how well they had been received by the crowd, and he reportedly said "You bastard! How the f**k am I supposed to follow that?!?!" Queen had just owned the Wembley Stadium crowd of 72,000 people for over 21 minutes, and in doing so, they set the standard for how a music performance was supposed to be done, and all the other acts had to scramble to try to match their intensity.

Thanks for a wonderful late Saturday afternoon in Mid-May 2021. Have seen this special concert hundreds of times. Still Loved the reaction like it was my first.. Hope to see many more and your learned evolution as you get to know ALL the fabulosity of the Queen musicians, Freddie, Deaky, Roger and Brian. This lady loves Freddie - the others too but Freddie loved all his fans so exquisitely and gave too too much while handling his short and legendary life. Thanks.

[@alexGgaming1509]

Somebody to love live from montreal 1981, thank us later. Another one bites the dust official video and under pressure wembley 86 all have a similar feel to this!

[@marilynbryant9523]

He is drinking water with honey for his throat. This was a multi-band concert. Set up for many bands

[@toodlescae]

As Queen finished their part of this at least 2 other artist supposedly said "How the he** do I follow THAT?"

[@lorenvictor6290]

Was David Bowie and Elton John who said that.

[@scottwallace3450]

Bowie was backstage as Queen performed. As they came off stage, Bowie walked up to them, looked at them, and said, "You BASTards!" Then they all laughed, hugged, and enjoyed the moment. Once Queen got back to their trailer, they heard someone pounding on the door. They opened it, and it was Elton, who merely said, "Thank you for f*cking it up for the rest of us!" whereupon, they all laughed, shook hands and hugged again. They all knew it was the greatest rock performance of all time.

[@andreklok6694]

Elton and davod called them bastards for steeling the show before them

[@queenfan45]

@@lorenvictor6290 Robert Plant said it in Philidelphia. "We have to top that!" is what he said to Jimmy Page. I think Jimmy was too high to respond.

[@pambennett3390]

As an older person, I love watching young people discovering the music that was so much part of my life. Thanks for doing this one. I really enjoyed your reactions! If you want to consider another Queen song with an amazing vocal, I recommend Somebody to Love

[@gracielahonig]

Yes, Freddie was gay (or bisexual?) He left almost all his fortune to a "love of his life" Mary Austin. And female Queen fans (as me) are totally in love for him! Queen is magnificent and FREDDIE MERCURY is extraterrestrial!!!! Songs? Under pressure, Onother one bite the dust, Don't stop me now, Play the game live at Montreal.... Welcome to the QUEEN experience! 👑❤️

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

I love your enthusiasm - and happy that new generations get to know Queen. I was 24 years when this happened and sat in front of the TV in Denmark - I will never forget it - and I'm happy that it is accesable via you tube . - and see/hear it with my grandchildren. One of my granddaughters is playing the drums - 8 years old - and Roger Taylor is one of her heroes - -.

[@michellesalgado6331]

Tickets to concerts in the 80s were cheap. Less then $20. He was gay so the only person going home with him was his boyfriend Jim.

[@susanorchard1994]

Freddie was bisexual. He had male and female lovers. This was confirmed by his bandmates and those close to him.

[@opethdan2408]

Bisexual.. I get tired of people thinking all bi men are straight up gay just because they are with both men and women but focus on the men part. Erasing the women. That's why it's called bi-erasure.

[@lisaeppey1005]

Wembly 86 the whole concert ❤

[@chefsousa]

Queen - Show must go on

[@mztweety1374]

Still makes me 😭

[@juanspeko]

There were no cellphones or mobile phones back then.

[@Lt.Mingus69]

yeeeesss...the best part of these old concert vids.

[@grahamyates2490]

Yep, if you lost someone in the crowd, that was it!

[@valogden]

Yes. Went home many nights with a burn from holding a lighter up. The flame on the phone looks great but not the same. You can hold it up a lot longer however lol.

[@nicholashylton6857]

There were cell phones back then but they were as portable as bricks and usually found in limousines and super-high end cars.

[@juanspeko]

This is one helluvaaaa introduction to Freddie Mercury and Queen as a collective 👑🙌🏽❤ (I know I'm 5 months late) but love your energy. ESPECIALLY not knowing a song or the fellas. Lol I literally lol'd when you called Brian May (guitar) Roger Taylor (drummer) & John Deacon (bass) "the back up guys". Well, I'm sure you are by now wellll acquainted with Queen but this was fun to watch. I'd love to listen each time as if it were the 1st. ❤ Knowing how much I loveeee Queen as a complete hip hop head myself aswell. Gotcha new sub 😉 (Also of it's not been mentioned this was a benefit concert (telethon) to support famine stricken Africa in 1985. This was broadcast LIVE WORLD WIDE. There were about 80K there at Wembly Stadium, a Stadium in Philadelphia had over 100K in attendance aswell as other places around the world were full where it broadcast. In whole over 1 *BILLION * watched live. I was 5 and remember just how big it was. It was bananas! The whole line up was crazy but Queen WRECKEDDDD obviously. Freddie performed against Dr's orders, something with his vocal chords I forget exactly. Queen had not performed together for a few years prior to this. Needless to say this performance skyrocketed a resurgence for Queen and new music. Sadly Just 6yrs later Freddie passed of AIDS. The *WORLD* was heartbroken and mourned. There will NEVER be another 💔 (Although...Adam Lambert is quite impressive. He respects he is NOT Freddie, makes the songs his own while honoring the LEGEND with every note) 👑❤ welcome to the fan club JD 😀

[@barbaraaschwingelswihart572]

Another one bites the dust there was another song at the end of this concert, I love. It's called is this world we created. Another is innuendo

[@rockerforlife194]

Quenn. One of the greatest bands of all time, period! Freddie and his band: Amazing! I've enjoyed them since the 70's!!! And all the yrs after! Great channel, Brother. Keep up the great work!

[@이정희-h4i8s]

It doesn't make any sense that there are some people who put a dislike on this legendary performance !!! They don't seem to have an ear for music !!!

[@griffincypert2900]

I think there reacting to him. The person reacting

[@Daniel-jl6fb]

Guitarist is Dr Brian May, doctor of Astrophysics. Also there is a bit much later on when he comes back on stage and sings "Is this the world we created" which is awesomeness on another level.
