I honestly can see what you mean. Because after doing so many different reactions I can see the clear difference in their music compared to others. It's so brilliant how they created their own style and sound that I HAVE NEVER HEARD from anyone else. I also think because all members of Queen are superstars and very talented. I can agree that Queen is the best rock group of all time. In my opinion. :)

Freddie had a throat infection he went against Dr's orders to be there he said his throat felt like he was gargling with crushed glass while singing and he still crushed it they are epic I cry every time I hear him sing

[@lindamaclellan4899]

Someone once commented that Freddie held the microphone in one hand and the audience in the other. No truer words were ever spoken! The size of that audience with everyone excited and participating was mind boggling! Queen was always on point whether in the studio or on stage. There's a video on youtube which shows their practice sessions for this concert - how they honed each of their songs perfectly to fit into 20 minute time slot allotted to each band. The result was MAGIC!! And, yes, the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was Queen's tribute to Elvis. I read somewhere that Freddie wrote this song in about 10 minutes while taking a bath. I don't know if that's true. But it would not surprise me if Freddie had new music twirling through his brain every minute of every day! I wish I could have been at Wembley on that day but consider myself so fortunate to have seen them LIVE at other concerts in the 80s. That was a long time ago but it feels like yesterday! Thanks for reacting to this incredible performance.

[@yvrkid7070]

Crazy Little Thing Called Love was written by Freddie in 10 minutes in the bath of his Munich hotel room in 1979 as a tribute to Elvis. Some people think it was written by Elvis. Notice that Brian changes guitars 3 times. I think this version of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions is the best. Incredible energy. Freddie had a throat infection but you would never know. If you notice at the end of Champions when Freddie brings his hand down a light on the stage turns red. Queen rehearsed for a few hours every day for a week to get this timed perfectly. If you went past the red light the power turned off! Most of the bands barely rehearsed or didn't rehearse at all. Queen are way too professional for that! This is why Queen are the best live band ever! Sorry about your power. Hope the weather gets better soon. Loved your reaction! For more great live performances - White Queen Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975, Fat Bottomed Girls - Live at the Bowl Milton Keynes 1982, Under Pressure Live at Wembley 1986, Who Wants to Live Forever Live in Budapest 1986.

No, he did NOT know he had AIDS during this performance. He was HIV positive and didn't know. The movie changed ALOT of things. Freddie wasn't diagnosed with HIV til late 1986, and wasn't diagnosed with AIDS til Spring of 1987.

Already clicked the “Like” button!! Queen practiced for a couple weeks getting their 20 min set perfect. They brought in giant white clocks to be sure the timing was on point! Queen took this charity event very seriously while other artists not so much. Queen was added to the artist list late so many of the crowd didn’t even know they were performing!! Queen’s 20 min set was perfection including the song list, songs were from the top ten billboard list, each song was written by one of the members of Queen, and Freddie was never happier! Roger said it was truly Freddie’s day to shine!! All the artists including the “who’s who” of music knew Queen had stolen the show!! The rumor is that David Bowie had to follow Queen & when they were done he said “You bastards” (endearingly, of course). Psssst - Freddie bends over so his bum is towards the audience as a big “kiss my arse” to Queen’s former money grabbing managers!! Hahaha!! Every time I watch this I get the goosebumps!! It was fun watching the expressions on your face! Freddie wrote CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE in honor of Elvis!! 🥰💕

Loving your insightful reactions, President Pat. Yes, Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love as a tribute to Elvis. He also wrote a tribute to John Lennon after he was killed. Freddie used many kinds of tones and vocal styles - listen to My Melancholy Blues, I Want It All, Cool Cat - each a totally different style. When you rewatch this, pay attention to the crowd. This 20 minutes was an amazing feat of capturing the audience so quickly, getting them involved and active - doing the Radio Gaga Clap, the call and response, taking over a few lines of Crazy Little Thing on their own, etc - that by We Are the Champions they were like a swaying sea of humanity, 70k+ people who had already been at the concert for many hours hearing dozens of singers and bands. It's really incredible.

After Live Aid, QUEEN toured with Freddie all through Europe in 1986. It was called the Magic Tour - a grueling tour consisting of about 26 shows in France, Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, West Germany (at the time, Germany was still divided in 2 by the Berlin Wall), Belgium, Hungary (which was under Communist control at the time), and other countries as well. Most of the time, the band played more than one show in each country. The tour ended in the UK with two shows at Wembley which were totally sold out and one concert outdoors at Knebworth where I read that 150,000 people attended.

Thank you very much. I was so a pleasure and joy to watch it. That was incredible. I had to go watch it several more times afterwards. LOL.

[@lasuna7792]

Loved your reaction. I'm enjoying watching you react to Queen. They are never boring. Thank you for sharing your Queen journey with us.🧡🧡🧡❤❤💜💜

My oldest son was born in 1985. I was active duty U.S. Navy and watched bits and pieces of the concert from stateside. However, I raised both my boys to appreciate rock classics... like Queen! Now, I'll be driving and Bohemian Rhapsody comes on the radio and, if my sons are with me, we all ALL singing alone and bopping our heads! Truthfully, I do that when I'm alone in the car too. I get some funny looks from people seeing an old lady rocking out in her car! LOL

Thank you so much for doing this whole QUEEN performance. They put their hearts and soul in this concert. QUEEN stole the show. The most memorable performance of all time even to this day. "QUEEN FOREVER"

[@carrielaliberte3255]

This is said to be one of “the best” concert performances of all time! and I agree :). Freddie and Queen stole the entire concert. “Ahh-ohh” 😉 Love your reaction! 👍🏻😎

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Well said! 😊. Thank you!! One of my favorites concerts ever still even after all these other reactions!!

[@danksquid3265]

Great reaction, especially that moment when Freddie (and then the entire crowd) hit That Note. Some of the top comments look like they have been generated by bots, response also being somewhat over the top (maybe sarcastic), anyway - in the end, many real fans will find this.

The day the earth stood still. Oh dear baby, I was a junior in college in '85. Prayers to all in Texas.

[@sharonhalliday3180]

Good morning. I hope you all are doing well today and have sone power back on. Thank you for continuing under such trying circumstances. There is an encore song later that night. IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED. It is just Freddie and Brian, very appropriate and poignant. I am so glad you will continue with more Queen songs. You might like one of duets he did with opera soprano, Montserrat Caballe as well. The Elvis tribute was written 2 years after Elvis passed. He has said the music comes to him easily and then he really has to work to find words to fit, except for this one. The entire song came to him very quickly and become a huge hit. Man On The Prowl also sounds like an Elvis type song.

[@roughblooduk]

Thank you so much for your wonderful reaction. I was in my thirties when Live Aid was broadcast and I adored him. Not only is he a fantastic singer but he's very visual. Because I have been a fan for so long it is exciting that younger folks are discovering Queen. Seeing this iconic performance is almost like a religious experience for me. Thank you so much.

[@dianecourtney2724]

shhhh Freddie singing 💜

[@lindastodola691]

Freddie and Queen resonates deeply with me. We were from the same generation. Queen spoke the truth. The passion in their songs- one reason we love them so much! And have tremendous respect for their live performances and heart and love their fans received from each performance! I’ve been a fan since 1974! I listen to them everyday. Freddie- there will never be another-💛💛

[@sopdox]

Watching your reaction just made me smile from ear to ear. This concert was simulcast on TV and radio across the world. I worked at a mom & pop video store (anyone remember those) and I wouldn’t let my boss put on any videos. I got to watch as it happened, next best thing to being there. Queen was the first concert I ever went to and remain my favorite band.

[@budhee]

"Live' .. what we all missing .. Saw this live on TV in '85 .. good memories.

[@stephanieclare2457]

I remember watching this with family and friends. It was and still is absolutely incredible. Love Queen Freddie, Brian, Roger, & John forever. ❤❤❤❤

[@barrys1342]

Freddie had the touch, reaching the back or front of the crowd equally strong, video and Tv the same, so missed for his attributes, the band a force of nature that has continued to catapult our senses, every time we experience them on any platform ❤ be great to get more Q/Fred/Montsy from you Pat, a regal name in itself 😊

[@karenmitting7181]

36 years ago & you still feel his incredible energy coming through the screen. I watched this whole concert live (UK & USA) in Australia (I was 16) over a weekend with my whole family. It was an amazing happy experience that I will never forget. We have the LIVE AID DVD Box set and have watched it a few times in the theatre room and it still brings back those happy, happy memories. QUEEN we’re definitely the performance of the concert but there were still so many highlights. Mick Jagger & David Bowie teaming up to perform Dancing in the Street, Phil Collins, Madonna, Duran Duran, Elton John & George Michael. It was a once in a lifetime event, much like Woodstock (held the year I was born 1969). It raised awareness & money for the African famine and Bob Geldof became Sir Bob after organising this magic event. What a time it was 😃❤️👍🏻

[@angiemottershead1394]

Cannot stop watching.You dont interupt the magic that is Freddie is pure respect. Respect to you too.

[@LizMercury1992]

I haven't play your video yet i already hit the like button...this is the first performance that i fell inlove with Freddie and queen... everytime i watch this i still blown away and more inlove deeply with his voice 😊 glad you react to this... i like the song " Imagine " Freddie's version that is playing on backround while your talking in the intro💛 good job!

[@awordfrompresidentpat1985]

Thank you so much. You guys all have the best taste in music. I truly thank you all for those request because, I am loving each new video.

[@susanann843]

When this was on I watched all 16 hour of this and had to work in the morning it was a real treat to watch them all nothing like this has ever happened since, we lost Freddie 6 years after this performance very sad R.I.P

[@beanfrompa]

I also want to say I just love your reaction to this video. Makes me happy to see other recognize their genius and appreciate them like I do. 😁

[@alethamarsh6583]

Been waiting for you to react again, miss your reactions! To queen LOL just now starting to watch so probably will have another comment soon

[@sherryheim5504]

Best live show ever! Crazy Little Thing Called Love is Freddie's tribute to Elvis who he admired. Freddie wrote that song in 10 minutes while taking a bath. A little aside: Brian played 3 different guitars during this song.

[@RoverWaters]

are you all simps repeating the same thing...

[@sherryheim5504]

@@RoverWaters History doesn't change so there is really nothing new to add.

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

I saw Queen in concert in 1982. Amazing!!

[@davidmcintyre6444]

Wow Patrick, I love your reaction. I was 29 when I saw this first. I still Remember it as if it were yesterday. Thank you.

[@andrewsulfaro3468]

Best part is. This wasn’t even a Queen concert. They made it into a Queen concert
