Queen - Somebody to Love (Live in Montreal, 1981) REACTION

[@joyceharkin3641]

When Freddie gets up from the piano the second time, you can see him looking behind him as he makes his way across the stage. Brian May has had some sort of problem with his guitar and Freddie and the others fill in the time until Brian comes back, gives Freddie a nod and they carry on with the song. Absolutely seamless.

[@Melissa02891]

Thank God Queen insisted on recording every single live performance on film, watching this and realizing what technology was like in 1981 makes it all even more impressive. No auto tune, no ear pieces, just 4 incredibly talented men who knew how to entertain every single person in the audience. 👑 never disappoints.

[@facethemusic1970]

Absolutely! 🤘

[@williamberven-ph5ig]

It's hard to take your eyes off Freddie but in this rendition. Roger shines as an incredible drummer and singer. Brian and John are great too. In these 80's videos, John looks so young like a high school kid who won a contest to play with a rock band.

[@debramoore7513]

The PERFECT performance .. Yes indeed! They just announced the IMAX release of Queen: Rock Montreal for January 18th 2024 in all IMAX theaters everywhere! Just bought my tickets, taking my granddaughter!! Yahoo!! 🎉🎉

[@facethemusic1970]

I’m sure she’ll love it! 🤘

there's my Girl! I didn't hear about the IMAX release! I will totally go to that ASAP.. I'm sure I can get a couple of my sisters to go with me! Love you!

God, I wanna go!

@@blackcatmom2996 Yep.. "okay, let's do it!"...

[@janetschulman8998]

Freddie doesn’t take himself so seriously. He just wants everyone to have fun

[@facethemusic1970]

For sure! 🤘🤘🤘

[@26shedan]

my favorite live performance video! I think I have seen this at least 100 times if not more....

[@Sassypaws4927]

"Somebody To Love" was Freddie's favorite Queen song and he felt it was one of the best songs he ever wrote. He was more proud of it than "Bohemian Rhapsody".

[@lisaeppey1005]

Check out Freddie singing with Montserrat Caballe ❤

[@jome7382]

Agree, absolutely bloody brilliant ❤

[@jome7382]

Shout out to Roger Taylor's drumming and vocals... Brilliant, never misses a beat ❤

[@26shedan]

love Roger, his CD Happiness? is my favorite CD at present time.

[@kenanderson2002]

"...for the those of you who aren't super familiar with Queen..." I find most people are a LOT more familiar with Queen than they know. 14 years ago, I 'discovered' Queen and Freddie Mercury. Not a day has gone by in 14 years that I haven't listened to them. Thank GOD for KZbin, as I've heard every single song written by all 4 members so there's nothing new for me anymore... except the reaction videos. Now instead of experiencing Queen for the first time, I can witness somebody else's first experience. Especially this song, in Montreal. I wish I had gotten to see FM live, or even just alive.

[@cheryljohns7541]

This is my favorite concert performance…I just purchased tickets today to see this whole concert in January at the IMAX…so excited 🤩 Thanks for reacting to this gem 🥰

This was Freddie’s gospel song with Aretha Franklin in mind he loved Aretha

[@sherryheim5504]

From the Hammersmith, Odeon concert, you must react to White Queen (as it began), it is a jaw dropping performance by Freddie and the entire band. I love this performance of STL, Freddie gust takes it to a whole different level and Roger hangs right in there with him. Thank you.

[@facethemusic1970]

Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Face! Widely known as one their best live performances.. but not just this one.. this entire concert... this really shows how Queen is not just "Freddie & some other guys.. " this was an entirely cohesive GROUP... hope you listen & react to more... appreciate your reactions... (p.s. "Save Me" from this concert is astonishing..)

[@wildapplellamas7751]

Its always fun to see someone react to the music I grew up with! I'd like to request that you take a listen to the man Brian May credits as having given him his guitar voice-the legendary Rory Gallagher. Rory was a talented multi-instrumentalist best known for his fiery guitar work, both electric and acoustic. He played straight blues, country blues, rock and a bit of many other things. Take a listen to "Do You Read Me?" from the 1979 Rock Goes to College performance for a sample of his talent. Prefer a more laid back, bluesy style? The check out "Calling Card" from 1977 Hammersmith Odeon. There's a plethora of wonderful live videos of Rory on YT to view and it would be wonderful for you to introduce his music to the younger generations. Thank you!

[@facethemusic1970]

Thanks for the info and recommendations! 🤘🤘🤘

[@yvonnewakefield7748]

@Face_The_Music Freddie's genre-homage to Aretha Franklin (an artist he admired and truly wanted to collab with)! His favorite song and so good to know there are many songs/performances you haven't seen ;-) I think I earned both a Queen and a Brian May certification during lockdown, lol, although I was a teen in the 70s. Take care, and again, thank you!!!

[@facethemusic1970]

Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘

[@kenanderson2002]

I think the pretend punching thing... Pretty sure it was just the camera angle. Freddie was a classically trained boxer in his youth. He does tease & play with Brian during the show, but in this case I think it was just the camera angle. speaking of camera angles... if you're watch again when FM gets the audience to sing & dance along, the film production crew tried to eliminate as much of the crowd as they could so people could hear the song better. The band were LIVID about this because audience participation was an expected aspect and the band encouraged it. The crowd was one of Freddie's instruments. But in case you were wondering why the crowd didn't participate, they did in fact participate. That's why.

[@joan783]

Ok, this one gets all the hype but Milton Keynes ‘82 is my favourite version.

[@sandrahilton3239]

have you watched Queen with Adam Lambert. Adams voice is better than freddies technically, according to Brian. He is fabulous.

[@facethemusic1970]

Sorry, not a fan of Adam. There’s too much history and frontman charisma with Freddie to rate Adam higher.
