Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal

[@jndfan]

I'm 56. I grew up on this music.70s and 80s were the best eras for music. I have a 27 yr old daughter who says all the time she wishes she was a teenager in my era because she loves this music so much.

[@lillylee7658]

Roger on the drums. He has the most amazing falsetto. Freddie called him the dog whistle. Can I request a reaction to Under Pressure Live at Wembley 1986. Freddie’s charisma on stage is incredible, he has the audience of almost 80,000 people in the palm of his hand. And Deacy‘a bass riff is so iconic. Don’t mistake it it with Ice Ice Baby , because Vanilla Ice flat out stole it and Queen sued him for it. Great reaction ladies, the more you do of Queen, the more you will love them 💕

[@flash218ily]

"It goes from his head to his toes....there's literally like an electric wire going through his body!....he's like a ball of energy!" ..... that might just be the best description of Freddie Mercury I've ever heard....well done!

Freddie Mercury G.O.A.T

[@nolahistorictours3266]

I saw Queen in 1978 at Madison Square Garden. I was 14 years old and will never forget it. I've seen so much great live music in my life (Miles Davis, David Bowie, etc. & I live in New Orleans, so...) but I have never seen a performer own a big room like that. We were sitting way up high so he was like one centimeter tall down there but he blew the roof off the place. A total force of nature.

[@gabkaplackova8627]

Drummer - Roger Taylor and guitarist - Brian May still perfoming! They are already 70 y. o. but still keep rocking world (with Adam Lambert).👏

[@perrycochran2145]

You guys are spot on. Your appreciation for true talent is awesome.

[@jonathanhall1184]

Thank you for highlighting the fact that Queen was 4 outstanding musicians., not just Freddy. Yes he was the personality, and a genius, but if you take away any of the other 3 , their music would have never had the perfection that it did . They all contributed equally in quality, and passion.

[@marggie4129]

Hey my friends the drummer is ROGER TAYLOR. Would you like to see ROGER sing lead. Try I AM IN LOVE WITH MY CAR from the same concert Montreal 1981. You will love his vocals. Thank you for doing QUEEN videos. I am a huge QUEEN fan. Take care and have a nice day. QUEEN BEE.

I was at at the Philly side of Live aid. Your not kidding when you said anyone who saw them live was lucky. Queens performance that day made history and My best friend and I were a part of that on sheer luck.

[@yvrkid7070]

Love that you are giving the drummer Roger Taylor props for his incredible voice. He is killing the backing vocal here and most people don't mention him during their reaction. Brian May (guitar) and Roger would sing lead on some of their songs. Freddie, Brian and Roger's voices made beautiful harmonies. You can hear Roger sing lead on his own song I'm In Love With My Car at this same concert Montreal 1981. He did all the very high parts in Queen's songs like the high Galileo in Bohemian Rhapsody. You should react to the official video of Bohemian Rhapsody. Also Roger backing up Freddie in Under Pressure Live at Wembley 1986. To hear some vintage Roger backing vocal try In The Lap of the Gods Live from the Rainbow 1974. Incredible vocals from Freddie and Roger. Also White Queen Live from the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 is a beautiful passionate performance ❣️

[@MikeInMD1961]

I was blessed to see Queen in concert back in 1980 in Baltimore. Freddie owned the crowd the moment he stepped on the stage. Definitely in my Top 5 concerts.

Renowned as one of the greatest performers of the 20th century Freddie Mercury pushed the boundaries of art and music as he lead his band Queen to international stardom. His limitless vocal power and extravagant performances shocked and wowed audiences around the world

Both of you are so beatiful. Great reacción, greetings from México. Uds están bien chulas ( gorgeous)

[@michaelkohl4541]

It was really a blessing when I twice (1984 + 1986) had the opportunity to see them live in concert in Vienna, Austria - I will never forget that extraordnary performance they gave. I always liked them as a school kid. And now I even love them more than ever before. I miss Freddie, his talents, accurancy and awsome melodies. This year on November 24th it is already 30 years ago since Freddie passed away. R.I.P. Your Majesty ...

[@alabama1413]

Roger Taylor on drums & incredible backing vocals. Great reaction ladies. I think that their live performances are better than studio versions for the most part. Having said that, please react to the studio versions of ‘Don’t Stop me Now’ & ‘Killer Queen’. After that you ought to react to the full 20min Queen slot at ‘LiveAid’ Wembley in 1985. Considered by many to be the greatest performance by a rock group anywhere, anytime with Freddie’s total engagement with the crowd that has them singing along. He sings 6 shortened versions of great songs leaving other bands speechless, such was their impact. All these are right up your street in terms of style etc. Best wishes to you both 🙂

Music, at its best (like in this performance), brings joy. There is a healing quality to it. Queen was unique, and Freddie was a singular talent. Props also to drummer Roger Taylor, for the killer backing vocals. This was Queen in their prime. Ladies, this was a truly beautiful reaction. Your love for the music is plainly evident, and your commentary is spot-on and very thoughtful. Please keep doing what you do.

One really amazing thing that Queen did, and I don't know if it was their idea, their manager's idea, or what, but they actually recorded at least one concert from most of their concert tours starting in I think the late 70s, so to this day, you can get copies of most of their major concert tours on video.

[@dortheychastain2195]

Seeing Queen live is not a concert, it's an experience! Amazing fact about Queens' lead guitarist Brian May. He was actually working on getting his Ph.D in astrophysics when Queen was formed. Music meant so much to him so he put his doctorate on the back burner. After Freddie Mercury died, Queen disbanded. Even while still part of the group Brian and his father designed and built a new kind of guitar. Brian's IQ has been measured in the 160's. That's even beyond Big Bang Theory smart. So he was a real genius on top of being a musical genius. after Queen disbanded, Brian went back to working toward his doctorate. He finally got it in 2006 or 7. He's now Dr. Brian May Ph.D. He's also written about 6 books on the subject of astrophysics.

P.S. - Freddie has a faster vibrato than Pavarotti’s. Last i read, the fastest ever measured. (You can REALLY hear Freddie’s vibrato in Live Aid: Radio Gaga - i think u have seen/reacted to that...). Keep up the great work. Freddie would love this - Such a beautiful soul, our Dear Freddie.

[@richardpeete4634]

Freddy was born to a very religious family with high moral standards. But he always had this thing for music. And he finally got his break with a local bar band. He was a crowd pleaser from day 1. He was with this girl for a long time but he had identity problems and they split. He contracted the AIDS virus when very little was known about it. Short story he died at age 45 in his prime. But he still loved that girl so much that the bulk of his estate went to her. Had he lived, theres no telling what he would have accomplished

[@humphr1d]

I loved your reaction! Queen is so magical live. Please treat yourselves and listen to “Who Wants to Live Forever” from preferably their live show in Budapest 1986 or from Wembley 1986. This song was written by Dr Brian May (guitarist) for the movie Highlander. For some great audience participation you need to react to “Under Pressure” from the 1986 Wembley concerts (make sure you get the audience participation portion before the band launches into the song). There is so, so, so much Queen to dive into! 👍🔥👑🔥👑🔥👑
