Queen doesn't play. You want epic they give you epic.

[@lg1799]

The drummers' name is Roger Taylor. His voice was amazing and is still amazing to this day.

[@chrscmo]

Queen at Live Aid would blow your mind. The greatest 20 minutes in rock and roll history Thanks for the great reaction

[@dianecourtney2724]

Oooooh heavenly 🥰 No one will ever be even slightly as great as Freddie ✌🏼🔥♥️💔

[@JanS1]

Yes, that's Ratty (Peter Hince) who was both Freddie and John's roadie. He wrote a book about his years with Queen. Not gossip, just an honest account of what it was like. Highly recommend. I've always been team Montreal live but this is AMAZING too.

[@blastingweevil2968]

a god damn legend no one EVER will be the equal to freddie the passion power and depth of his voice we will never see or hear the like again....

[@lcbcreative]

Thank you for reacting to this! So few reactors will do different performances of the same song. With a band as great as Queen, they don't give you the album version of anything. They give you something even better, feeding off the audience. They were so well practiced together, they could add little things here and there and the rest of the group knew how to follow. I love both Montreal and Milton Keynes Bowl. Milton Keynes feels more artistically free - Freddie makes amazing vocal choices, and he is clearly putting his heart and soul into it. As is the entire band. Not sure where I read this, but I think he wore white a lot because it made it easier for the audience to see him on stage. It definitely looked good on him. What I will say about Montreal - it is the gateway drug to deep diving into Queen live performances. Show that video to anyone who has never seen them on stage, and they'll be lost on YT for days. It also had the advantage of being filmed by an outside company that was going to tour the concert footage in IMAX theaters. It was the best technology out there at the time and the DVD is fantastic. The band did not get along with the people filming, so it has a different vibe - but spectacular, nonetheless. I'm happy to live in a world where both these performances exist.

[@TheCottons]

The white makes sense, it is easier for him to be seen! And yes, they are just spectacular, so excited to keep reacting to more Queen!

[@Violet-xg4bb]

Love your reaction and appreciation of the incomparable Freddie.

[@karenj3611]

One of their top 5 concerts. Amazing. I agree this is better than Montreal also

[@bettybaby63]

Another white jeans fun fact according to Freddie’s former PA; the white jeans had to be ordered from the US, bc the brands in the UK were always a creamy white vs pure white. 🤷‍♂️ The shows in the UK always seemed to have an extra level of energy. This performance is faster than the one in Montreal. Love this one. Yes that’s Peter “Ratty” Hince Freddie’s and John’s roadie. Never missed a handoff

[@LMTino]

Two different vibes in comparing the performances. Picture perfect on film and sound quality at Montreal and passion driven sweat infused for the ages at Milton Keynes. Love them both!

[@sherryheim5504]

The intro on this song in this performance is so good . It is easier to hear Roger and Brian's contributing vocals as well. Thank you for reacting to this incredible performance.

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

👏👏👏Yes, the "mic guy's" name is Ratty aka Peter Hince who became a great photographer later. This time he was the boss of the road crew. Roger Taylor is the drummer. We can have a hard fight 🤣 on different versions, but Freddie always was amazing. I think one of the reasons why the band loved to play live was, that these performances ensured them the freedom of changing the recorded versions as they wanted. I'm hardly waiting for your next Queen reaction. 🥳

[@lindacurtis9722]

I think both versions of this song are equally great!

[@melissalee5622]

My favourite ever version....so very, very Freddie!!!

[@deboraclark5791]

This live version is better, the studio is fantastic too with a lot of harmony. Great reaction.

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!😀

[@YourFriendCorey2]

Such a beautiful song. 😍. Have yall reacted to " I was born to love you" by Freddie Mercury? It's one of his lesser known ones since it was on his solo album. But yeah, I think that song is amazing and I think yall will think so too. 🤔

[@TheCottons]

We haven’t yet, we’ll add it to the list!🤩

This is my best version. Freddie’s voice is at its best ❤

[@User_Albert_V]

Oh my! Marcie was right! This is now my favorite version. Gooo Freddie! (Roger Taylor is the drummer.). Thank you so much for this terrific review of this version of Freddie’s song.

[@bbbfst]

I agree 100% that Milton Keynes is better than Montreal -- there's a reason this version is more than a minute longer than Montreal. Same for "Dragon Attack," "Save Me," and "Under Pressure." Sad that most react to this and those other songs from Montreal than this concert. The only thing better from Montreal was the video quality.

[@Truewinner112]

I like this preformance more for a dumb reason

[@chasegriffin91]

I think it's the most underrated Queen concert!!

[@johnjrambo1332]

Great reaction. And this is the Best live versión of the song in my opinion.

White Wranglers are Freddie’s favorite pants! I absolutely love his white Wranglers, too! 😜💕

[@patrickdowdle5121]

Guys you have to do a reaction to Elvis Presley's 1968 come back performance of If I Can Dream. He sang it with such passion and power. A performance by the GOAT, that was nothing short of magnificent

[@m.frazier9952]

Wellll...now that you guys have listened to these 2 versions, it would be nice to react to the Official Studio one, it is awesome too! You have sooo many Queen songs to do going down the "rabbit hole". They are really great and Freddie is off the chart! no one compares! R.I.P. Thanks for your reactions. You are a beautiful couple.

[@lcbcreative]

The official video is fantastic - gives you real insight into how well written it is and how complex the harmonies are. I love that version also!

[@joannedarley1893]

So happy that you reacted to this version as well, I must admit to a little bias here, I love this one not only because it's more soulful than Montreal but also because I was there on that magical day.

Studio v. Milton Keynes v. Montreal.........love them all. Freddie could sing the alphabet or a menu and it would be perfection.

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁 more queen reactions please 😍

[@marianclough8577]

I love BOTH! Freddie never sang a song the same way twice. I also suggest that you listen to the studio version also.

[@mucacino]

In this version (apart from that it’s all amazing), it’s the original prelude that blows me away big time, specifically the harmony (not in any part of studio version), in this video at 1:04. And also absolutely genius slow climb and peaking the major note of the song at 1:49. This takes me somewhere, where nothing else can, somehow I feel proud even for listening to it, oh my God thank you Freddie.

[@lukehiggs8250]

My favourite song off queen

[@AngieHorvath]

Great reaction.....I just love you two....you're just awesome......I'm glad that you're enjoying Queen. This is one of many favorites, There are so many great songs. Freddie Has such a unique voice that I just love and can't stop listening to him. If I can recommend a couple of songs for you if you don't mind: Under Pressure live at Wembley '86 ( the one that's almost 6 minutes long); You're My Best Friend; Don't Stop Me Now (official video), and there's a solo Freddie did that is very beautiful that it had me teary eyed. It's called Time Waits For No One. Thanks guys. Oh and by the way, I had an avocodo today as a healthy food today.

[@TheCottons]

Aww thank you so much Angie appreciate you so much! And those sound like amazing requests so we’ll definitely add it to the list!❤️ and great job on eating an avocado!🙌🏽

[@petrap.8022]

I love you guys 💗 Freddie is so captivating queen is addictive! Thank you for reacting to this. Can you please react to Dragon attack from Montreal. Super basse there ❤❤ btw I had an apple 😂🍎

[@billsager5634]

Don't forget about Queen's "5th member", Spike Edney. Although Spike was never an official member of Queen, he toured with them for years. Where is Spike? When Freddie is out front, sining, yet you still hear the piano parts, that's Spike on the keyboards. Although Brian May is pure magic on guitars, in many Queen songs, Brian overlayed guitars - thus on the Queen songs that need 2 guitars - that's Spike again, playing guitars. Spike Edney actually replaced Fred Mandel. Spike remained Queen's road guy (and did some studio work as well) because he is a multi-instrumentalist PLUS a vocalist! Remeber, John Deacon never sang,. All the intricate harmonies were Freddie, Roger, and Brian. However, performing live, Brian would be all over the stage. He only sang when near a microphone. Thus it was Spike Edney who had to sing Brian's parts when Brian wasn't near a microphone. In this video you reacted too, you clearly hear Roger's backing vocals throughout the song, but rarely can hear Brian.

[@bluebell3720]

I think Spike joined in 84 the works tour then KOM tour Edney is credited on 2 tracks kind of magic album 86 which were Freddie/John songs PITCTP and FWF which seems odd to have someone else on keyboard but that's what someone claimed on wiki anyway! he's not credited on the miracle or Innuendo but does one track on MIH album he played at Live Aid and Brian and Roger solo work and now with Adam Lambert apparently Mandel was on the hot space tour and played synth on 3 tracks on The works I go crazy. Thank Gods it's Christmas. Brake free

[@nickhoare8599]

I was there that night, aged 16, fist time seeing Queen live.

If you really want to hear Brian and Roger sing, listen to the song “No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young).”

[@kentnottingham9635]

Live is great, of course. Queen are monsters in the studio and I’d hope you’d do some deeper cut from their earlier works. Great reaction!

[@patrickdowdle5121]

Hi guys i am a huge Queen fan and Queen has so many great songs . infact too many to count and Freeddies voice was truly remarkable. He had such a god given gift and more talent in one hair of his famous moustache, than most so called singers have in their entire body 4 of my absolute favourite songs are Radio Ga Ga Hammer To Fall , I Want To Break Free and Dont Stop Me Now . This last one was Freddie saying to his fellow band members , i am gonna have fun and you lot cannot stop me

[@KDeCesare]

Good performance. Almost as good as the 1981 Montreal performance.

[@BonnieW50]

I was introduced to Queen when I was 10 yrs old by my older brother who then proceeded to let me know why they were called Queen...I was already dealing with racism as a 10 yr old white girl, who loved all my black, brown, yellow, whatever friends, now I had to find a way to understand "Gay"?. But when you you just love "PEOPLE"...does it really matter what color they are, or where they come from or what their sexual orientation is? Why are so many afraid to allow people to just "BE". We only have ONE life to live here on EARTH, so why are we so afraid of others judging how we are gong to to judged on the other side? Isn't that up to the "God" they profess to, then why are they putting the "JUDGEMENT" on us, trying to distract us from their own misgivings and needing money. Live your life, let others live theirs...if you don't agree with it, oh , I don't know, maybe educate yourself. Self indulgent ignorance is the silent cancer no one is paying attention to. Be good , stay safe.

[@RexorgenOnavi]

Freddie was agitated tonight, full of energy. he wanted in many ways to free himself on stage because the night before with his partner there was a big fight that led Freddie to injure his hand. In this song there was a lot of outpouring from him. there is a lot to see in this concert.

[@ulrikealtmann4655]

Yes, i read that too. He was bitten in his hand short before he was going on stage. You clearly can see, hear, and feel that he was on an emotional roller coaster. SAVE ME..... is also very poignant.

[@darryllongley4025]

Was that not before the montreal show not this
