Queen - Somebody To Love Live - 1981 Montreal REACTION ABSOLUTE ADRENALINE RUSH

[@이정희-h4i8s]

Every time I hear this , I get a goose bump !!! The greatest performance

[@aratliff727]

Tears in my eyes....it's magnificent

[@garnet0101]

Drummer Roger never gets enough credit for his background vocals during the entire song.

[@trishc3099]

Right? This song would NEVER be the same without him. Actually none of their songs would.

[@vn8897]

Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Don't forget Roger's backing vocals while playing the drums. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. ❤️🔥

[@FredMerc]

Спасибо за реакцию! Одна из лучших реакций! Совпадает с моей. Именно в этом исполнении я люблю эту песню больше всего. Столько эмоций!

[@pinkey943]

Freddie was a gift from God.

[@tanaforet8684]

You do know that Superman wears a Freddie Shirt under his cape Right?♥️ Great reaction

[@Anisabell2]

Queen are the best, and Freddie is the best, the most stunning and amazingly talented frontman that ever lived. Period. He truly is the one and only King of Queen 👑👑👑

[@pinkey943]

Love his strut.

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Deep rabbit hole 🕳🐇 !! NO bad songs! They were all perfectionists (especially Freddie) and it showed. Hope you continue on with Queen 🤗🎶🔥 “Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 for even more energy!

[@nairstudios91]

I definitely will.

[@cspole3435]

My favorite live Queen performance! Thank you! BTW, the beer usually = just honey/lemon tea /water... Sometimes a sip of beer, yes but he had to take care of his instrument! Freddie loved Aretha Franklin and wrote this with her in mind. Other great songs to react to: Save Me from this same Montreal concert '81; Now I'm Here LIVE @ Wembley '86... just far too many to list. You can never go wrong with any Queen performance... (There was a film crew there shooting this concert. It was over 2 nights in Montreal... They were really pissing the band off *especially Freddie* so on one of the nights he wore the white pants and on another night he switched into these tiny white shorts and no shirt {the song you can see that is Another One Bites the Dust}.. JUST TO MESS WITH THE CONTINUITY because they knew the 2 nights would be spliced together into one film...)

[@nairstudios91]

Thanks for the info. Makes a lot more sense than beer haha

[@barbaraanne2187]

He was the BEST!!

[@2Chabs]

The lead guitarist is one Dr. Brian May, Doctor of Astrophysics.

[@sherryheim5504]

Your face said it all!! I love this performance and this song. Every band member is on point and each showcased in an exceptional way. Brian's guitar solo was perfection, John held a strong and powerful bassline, Roger f-ing ROCKED the vocals while never missing a beat on the drums and Freddie was as wonderful as always. You just can't beat Queen as a live band. The next live Queen vocal and complete band feat you should react to has got to be White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith. That one will blow your mind with a 1 minute 45 second screaming instrumental masterpiece between Freddie and Brian. Freddie's vocals on that song are haunting and beyond beautiful.

[@susanlindner8626]

Freddie Mercury was a classically trained artist. The man could sing anything!!

[@kendallneason3645]

Freddie was not classically trained as a singer but did take piano lessons from the age of four.

[@susanlindner8626]

@@kendallneason3645 thanks for letting me know... it was actually a typing typo. Should have read not classically trained.

[@davidroyston1918]

There will never be another Freddie Mercury!

[@debramoore7513]

Love this song & so glad you’re reacting to it! Freddie Mercury is considered the best rock vocalist of all time (not just my opinion). Freddie can sing any & all genres of music including opera!! He wrote this song inspired by Aretha Franklin. The Queen catalog is massive so if you plan to do more Queen let the Queen fans guide you on your journey! Let’s not forget the other band members Brian May recently voted best guitarist of all time. Roger Taylor (drummer, vocals) & John Deacon (bass). All members of Queen have written #1 hit songs and all have been inducted into the Song Writer’s Hall of Fame & Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Queen voted best live rock band in 2020. Amazing geniuses & musicians! From this same concert do DRAGON ATTACK & SAVE ME. Love your reaction!

[@nairstudios91]

I was genuinely blown away. Thanks for watching. I’ll definitely give dragon attack a listen and a reaction

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Here we are again, Debra 😂👋🏼

[@debramoore7513]

@@lynnhoffmann247 Hey Lynn 💗

[@pinkey943]

Iconic, legendary, perfect

[@DeeVet1]

Not beer. According to his roadie, Peter Hince, most of the cups seen on that piano held hot honey and water with lemon to lubricate his throat. He performed at that level for 2+hours needed to soothe his vocal chords. His roadie would replace the hot drinks as they cooled. That’s why there are so many cups on the piano. He rarely drank beer during a performance. Heineken was a sponsor and the bottle was for advertising.

[@nairstudios91]

That makes a lot more sense

[@DeeVet1]

BTW, your reaction was epic! I’m a 78 year old grandma who has loved queen since the 70s and have read extensively about the band and watched many interviews with Queen’s members. There is so much misinformation about them that cheeses me off. Freddie Mercury was a sweet, kind, generous gentleman off stage who earned a degree in graphic arts. He designed and drew the Queen logo. Brian May, lead guitarist, Earned a doctorate in astrophysics, worked with NASA, is an avid 3-D photographer and scientific author. He also wrote a book called, Queen in 3-D, containing 3-D photos and a viewer he designed. (I own a copy). Roger Taylor, the drummer, whom I crush on till today, studied dentistry, and has a biology degree. John Deacon (Deaky) has a degree in electronics and created electronics that enhance the band’s amps and Brian’s guitar. The band was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame and each member was inducted separately into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Thank you for your wonderful reaction. I hope you venture further down the Queen rabbit hole. You won’t be sorry.

[@nairstudios91]

On it!

[@sharonhalliday3180]

Watch Drago Attack at this same concert. This was Lmost 2 hours of continuous high energy. By the way, most of the drinks were lemon water, tea, tea with honey and lemon, etc for Freddie's throat so he could continue to sooth his throat probkems and provide top notch tones. Early outstandin performances from Live at the Rainbow, in London, 1974 incude: Stone Cold Crazy, Seven Seas of Rhye, Killer Queen, White Queen, Flick of the Wrist, a portion of March of the Black Queen, and in the Lap of the Gods as a closing song. I think you will like their raw energy and talent. Freddie knew th to connect and speak one to one with the audience, from their earliest oerformances.

[@bettybaby63]

Pretty amazing, eh? 👍

Hey Betty 🤗 Seen my old house yet? LOL

White Queen live at Odeon Hammersmith is also brilliant.

[@rhhfayetteville]

“One Vision LIVE from Wembley” is another epic performance.

[@leonarae8496]

This is a stellar performance, but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Try White Queen live at Hammersmith, long haired glam rock days. Absolutely spine chilling.

[@hkynuts11]

The cups are tea and honey. The beer is an advertising promo.

Hi 63 year old from Montreal....I was at that show...I still live 3 blocks from where that concert was performed

[@rhondamcbath6279]

Brian shreds that lead guitar 🎸🎸🎸... Incredible, Amazing, Crazy, Stunning Performance!!! What a group/band....never seen them in concert, but I was around when they first came to America in the very early 80's.. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@matthiasrauch2723]

Yeah this best band ever plays all this great shit in front of 70k people with just 6 instruments and 3 (the incredible freddie and roger (drums)/brian) voices. These were the 80's baby.... NOTHING AUTOTUNED!

[@davidgarner3552]

one of the greatest performances of all time...totally blows your mind

[@jamescrane2156]

With show time approaching, towels and drinks for the band’s refreshment on stage would now be strategically placed: water and beer for Fred, beer for Brian and Roger and the Backstage Bar for John, comprising water, beer, soft drinks, wine and whatever spirit or cocktail he fancied at the time: Southern Comfort, vodka or tequila. - Peter Hince (aka Ratty), Fred’s and John’s roadie and head of Queen’s crew.

[@nairstudios91]

It’s a party up there. Helluva performance .

[@leonarae8496]

Don’t forget the nuts and M and M’s. Ratty was John and Freddie’s roadie, Brian and Roger had their own guys. Isn’t it funny that quiet unassuming Deacy had that whole cocktail bar set up, apparently he could be quite drunk by the end of a show.

[@nigelwalters8363]

One of the best reactions to this live version of the song, period! Thank you.

[@sharonclark4002]

I loved your reaction, I am a massive Queen fan so much so before lock down last year I had a half sleeve tattoo of the greatest frontman to ever had lived Freddie Mercury. I can’t wait for more 😁😁

[@mickanderton4763]

welcome to Queen

[@bjwaugh4294]

Hi again. U probably have answers already re: questions u asked about Barcelona. Freddie always loved opera n met Monsarat after 1 of her performances, she was so charmed(duh) & Freddie asked her to do this with him n it went so well they recored an album. Freddie composed all of it. If u liked Barcelona, n we know u did u should check out Guide Me Home n The Golden Boy. Enjoy. Loving ur channel always look forward to ur next Queen reaction. Tu. Stay safe.✌

[@bjwaugh4294]

Another great concert Montreal 81. Some older Queen. Its a great show. Hope u add to ur list. Tu. Enjoy. Stay safe.✌

Late fall 1980 this tour played Hilton. I see your I State shirt. We were about center court near top if parquet. Stage was set up east end.

[@ernaanspach473]

In case you haven't figured it out by now, most bands at live performances, have some sort of alcohol to clear their voices before a big crescendo, just like Freddy did here. Love ❤️ your reactions.

I am a long time HUGE fan of QUEEN. Hooked as a teen in 1974 with Killer Queen from their Sheer Hear Attack. Check out White Queen at Odeon-Hammersmith, but you can go wrong with any recording.

Timeless.

[@susanoconnor101]

Love your reactions. A very great talent and not just Freddy - the entire band, especially the drummer, is remarkable. I was alone in my appreciation of Queen as a teenager. Didn't care.

[@pinkey943]

Who ever said Queen is second and the Beatles were first you are wrong Who was better Queen or the Beatles? Queen Are Better Than The Beatles. English rock band Queen have beaten The Beatles to be named the “Greatest British band of all time” in a contest conducted by BBC Radio 2.
