Queen - Somebody To Love (Live in Montreal) | REACTION

[@GLBH33]

BEST BAND OF ALL TIME

[@SueMorgan-bi3pi]

Freddie once said "if you want to hear the studio versions of their songs, stay at home and listen to the albums". They changed the pace of their songs so each concert performance is unique.

[@deborahallen3318]

Yep, Freddie had a good point didn't he?

[@WOranos]

Roger Taylor has a phenomenal voice, but in a band with Freddie Mercury, he's basically just a backup singer. But man, those backup vocals compliment Freddie so damned well.

[@myfavoritedream2149]

4 guys, 1 piano, 1 drum set, 1 bass and 1 guitar. Magic.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

In the later years they had Spike Edney on keyboard backstage in order to make it possible for Freddie to perform in front -!

[@colindebourg9012]

​@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 He also played guitar on some songs.

[@strawbrryfld1]

Utterly ❤!

[@denisehade7948]

[@mattmale7183]

Roger on the drums and singing is amazing too.

[@terrimobley6067]

Indeed!!

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️

[@silvijaneskovic849]

The best band ever❤❤❤

[@JohnnyLaps]

He did lol ..perfect

[@karlriley9274]

Anyone knows just how awesome it was to see Queen 3 times... 1978, 1980, 1982???.... I do !!!!

[@thumplife792]

Damn, the tone from John Deacon's bass in this performance is amazing.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

Queen's secret weapon

[@paulagepson3446]

One of the greatest performances ever

[@garylee-pl9dl]

Their Live Aid was.

BEST band on world ❤

Freddie ❤️😪🌷

[@josephinemonahan915]

Shannon....get real!...there was no auto tune in those days😉

[@JohnnyLaps]

@@josephinemonahan915 agree,but he sounds great..unlike the robo-musicians of today

[@davebain1982]

Bit hard to use something that wasn’t even invented until 1997…6 years AFTER he died

[@annajosullivan]

Roger Taylor is an excellent drummer and singer. It’s his voice that goes high in Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@melissadambro8873]

It's Roger singing the background vocals throughout! He is amazing to sing and drum at the same time!

[@JDog2656]

What exactly are you doing with that car Roger?😂

[@oncnurse5]

Freddie once said he could sing so high that only dogs could hear him!!🤣🤣👍🏼

[@tabutno7795]

Roger can sing high, but on Bohemian Rhapsody all the vocals were done by Freddie, then layered onto the track

[@charobarnes2215]

His falsetto is so flawless… while killing it at the drums! Omg.

[@444dkm]

I was in the crowd as a young teen. We traveled 14 hours by car to see this performance. Well worth it. My entire family was at the concert. My dad was not really a Queen fan until this concert.

[@Krystal-l3d]

This is so awesome you’re so lucky

[@444dkm]

@ I was very lucky indeed.

[@carolcjh8938]

Thanks to the young guy, in the blue cap, on the right for acknowledging John Deacon on bass. Most reviewers totally overlook his contribution to the band. If you want to really hear his skill on bass, check out Millionaires Waltz. Amazing! Love Deaky.

[@josephinemonahan915]

Hi. Carol...yes John is definitely overlooked sometimes...he makes playing the bass look so easy....what about his solo in Liar?...live at Hammersmith Odeon..amazing!..Hi John, I hope you’re keeping well🌺

[@kendallneason3645]

Also he wrote Another One Bites The Dust. A great song. But there will never be another Freddie! Miss him. Vocal and musical geniuses!!!

[@debbieworthington6151]

Yes! Can't forget John! He contributed so much more than anyone knows!

[@jinx5776]

John wrote a lot of their songs too.

[@Sarvasaha]

... and Dragon Attack from the same gig.

[@janedemers9173]

Queen and Freddie ruled.

[@janejohnstone5795]

What a powerful....voice....very...

[@pamharris2961]

My favorite QUEEN song❤

[@26shedan]

Queen doing Live Aid-mind blowing.

[@brianorzel1873]

Brian May is one of the best guitarists ever. Roger Taylor is criminally underrated on drums. But, it's easy to get lost behind the brilliant Freddy Mercury.

[@imweakfordeaky]

And no mention of John Deacon’s mastery on bass?

[@juliannetomlinson]

And of course Deacy on bass

[@susanorchard1994]

*Freddie

[@blainebourg4643]

What ab the fact that Roger Taylor could be a lead singer for a band

[@alostdecade6057]

and we have that guy on bass !! ahahah

[@thanksmr.obvious6427]

the greatest vocalist and frontman of all time guys

[@janejohnstone5795]

God....has blessed him...given him a great gift...of music..

[@valerielansford565]

Must see Queen - "White Queen" - Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. You will be blown away!!!

[@barbaramendoza2202]

YES!! Great suggestion!

[@grumpynanny7402]

Me too.!

[@margaretmiddleton2756]

You really should watch Queen at Live Aid, Wembley. A full live set treat for you, it's, their best live performance ever.would love to see your reaction.

[@janejohnstone5795]

They...are...the Best...even in November..2023....good singing..instruments...etc....

[@lorib1311]

They were the ULTIMATE live band! Every song. Every performance. Every time. Freddie was a rock God! Long live The King of Queen!!! Love of my life.

[@kenperkins7921]

QUEEN IN THESUPER 70S... 70,GRRR RATE! queen in the 8s ....DiSGUTING!, PAR FOR THE 8S😅 Unless you are homosexual.

[@BMack-p9s]

Think he would have preferred to have been called the Queen lol

[@MikeInMD1961]

I was fortunate to see Queen live in concert back in August of 1980 at the Baltimore Civic Center. Freddie owned the crowd the moment he stepped on stage. What a show!

[@3ScotsInk]

I also saw them on that tour, in Memphis 8/5/80. Saw them in ‘74 & ‘78, too. And of course you’re right- they were a force of nature live, and Freddie always had surprises for us, of one sort or another!

[@MikeInMD1961]

@@3ScotsInk After you gave the date of the Memphis show, I had to check. The Baltimore show was on August 23. I still have the ticket stub in a photo album. One of many.

[@3ScotsInk]

Awesome that you kept souvenirs. Wish now that I had. I met Freddie at the hotel after the 74 show where Queen was actually the warm up band, though I’d been a fan for a year by then, and didn’t even ask for an autograph. Sounds crazy now, but he was so different offstage- very soft spoken, friendly, and human, it just seemed to me that it would’ve felt, like, inappropriate to ask for that. Anyway, it’s always nice to run into someone else who saw the same tours that I did. Memories, and in your case, memorabilia to last a lifetime.

[@lg1799]

I was at that concert. I saw them twice in Montreal and at the LiveAid concert. You are right, they were better live than the studio version. Being at the Live Aid concert was the experience of a lifetime. But seeing them in Montreal also blew my mind. This was the era when musicians had pure raw talent. By the way, it wasn't beer. Freddy never drank alcool on stage. It was tea with honey and lemon. I am lucky to have been able to see some majestic concerts from Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. That was real music!!!

[@celiaolarte3034]

Super great reactions, thank you

[@josemanuelmurillo6490]

Freddie, the best voice of Rock yesterday,today and forever.

[@StevePerrysMyMan]

Nope, that honor belongs to Stephen Ray Perry. He’s dubbed “The Voice,” not Freddie. Even Brian May acknowledged that Steve’s voice was once in a lifetime. Plus, this year, Steve was voted greatest male vocalist by Billboard Magazine’s fan poll. Fans picked Steve at 67%. Sorry, he just wasn’t as good as Steve. Freddy’s vocals a lot of times sound forced. I’m not saying he’s not amazing. I’m not saying he’s one of the greatest. He’s not the greatest. That distinction belongs to Steve. He can hit the highest of highs and slide down the low and back up to high again with absolutely no effort, no cracking, his voice no forced notes he’s just amazing! There’s never been anyone like him and there won’t ever be anyone like him again. If you have any doubts about that, you should go listen to the live versions of Patiently, Lay It Down, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever, Mother/Father… Those songs I’ll have extreme local acrobatics in them and Steve has every note flawlessly live. Even in this version of somebody to love, you can hear the forced notes from Freddie sometimes. You’ll never hear that in a live version from Steve Perry. I’m not saying Freddy is an amazing like I said he is. But he is Nazi. He’s not even close to Steve Perry’s voice.

[@richardsassany5572]

I was at LIVE AID in Philadelphia , they paused our part of the show from England and we watched on HUGE TV screens ..what a day it was

[@traceylshore9305]

Was there as well. Unforgettable experience.

[@Semajsenrab72]

Was in Sydney, Australia

[@NewOldVideos-d5o]

Saw them in 1981 in St. Louis.... The opened with Jail House Rock !!! Best concert ever!

[@JohnnyLaps]

Probably 1980..1981 was s.america and these Montreal shows

[@melissadambro8873]

Roger Taylor of Duran Duran (drummer) always said his idol was Roger Taylor of Queen - he could sing and drum like no one else! Queen had an amazing lineup of artists!

[@ronjm945]

I was fortunate enough to see Queen twice in the Seventies and were the most incredible shows that I have ever seen. Freddie was the most phenomenal showman that I’ve ever seen live, a once in a lifetime experience....

[@Hillybean30]

Everyone is amazing in Queen! Freddy of course stole the show every time. How could he not. So absolutely sick how talented he was! Taken away too soon! This was used as the closing song in a lot of their shows so singing that high pitched all concert is damn near impossible and the drummer is the high pitch voice throughout their albums period in the background. Outstanding and not born to see them but I missed out!

[@magloyd4907]

It's good quality because it was filmed. Freddie was wonderful, but kudos to Roger, playing his heart out on the drums and doing vocals at the same time, taking the high notes, with his head twisted to one side for the mic! Brian and John on top form as always.

[@lg1799]

I was at that concert , in fact 2 in Montreal and the liveaid concert and I can tell you, filming or not, they were better luvr that the studio version. !!

[@susanajorge5381]

Aunque no hubiese sido filmado sus interpretaciones eran brillantes, nunca fueron menos.

[@davebain1982]

What’s it being filmed gotta do with the quality??? It’s good quality because it was filmed using 35mm cameras (cameras used for filming movies), also the dvd of this show was upgraded to hd and 4k

[@alicefarr3927]

[@pibly674]

YES !

[@carlstevenwilletts]

You are right. If I remember correctly, Tim Rice said that if Freddie had been trained, he wouldn't have been able to sing the way he did. Thank god he wasn't trained.

Sir Brian Harold May, PhD in astrophysics,on tenure for nasa too. Amazing. Freddie had a degree in design,Roger was a trainee dentist & John an electrical engineer. All talented

[@therealjoeconstantino]

This performance was epic, and I must admit that I teared up a bit because of of the band's complete commitment and musicianship of this song. No one can compare to Freddie and Brian.

[@midnightdreams777]

It takes a special talent to pull off what Roger Taylor did. They are all so amazing. I love Queen!

[@JanS1]

[@lizturner267]

Saw this two nights in a row, first night in Toronto, next night Montreal, each show was 2 1/2-3 hours long, they were beasts! Saw them twice earlier, their “News of the world” tour that opened with a robot the roof size of Maple Leaf Gardens into We Will Rock you. Saw them in Birmingham England too. I was a concert rat in my salad days but NOTHING is comparable to a Queen concert! Thanks for taking me down memory lane and giving this performance the respect it deserves!

[@haseenahebrahim9361]

For Roger's high notes, listen to "In the lap of the gods" (NOT the revisited version) at the Rainbow- angelic! And Freddie could hit the high notes too, add incredible delicacy to his voice, write songs, compose and arrange music, and sing songs in pretty much any genre from rockabilly to jazz to ragtime, blues, rock, and opera. All the members of Queen were/are supremely talented.

[@sherryheim5504]

A perfect performance and a great reaction, thank you. I am glad you got to watch and hear this. Queen always changed up their live shows. Freddie said if you want the album version, just stay home and listen to it. Roger sings all the time and no, Freddie was not professionally trained in music or voice. Nor were any of the others.

[@jimroddy6190]

Excellent performance!!! I was fortunate enough to see them live--best concert ever! They had a huge fan base, but they didn't get a lot of love frorm the critics.

[@DHuhnCatMom]

You may have already heard: When Freddie opened playing chords on the piano, he was doing a sound check, as did each musician before the set. On top of that degree of professionalism and wanting everything perfect, they had their own sound engineers who traveled with them...even to venues where other groups were playing and there were already contracted sound techs. The difference? They switched the volume limits off so that Queen played louder than any other group. The results: Wow. Breathtaking. They were each so good that louder was better!

[@queenmiriam3058]

Thankyou guys! Please more Queen live. Queen was the real deal. Amazing music made, with less technology than nowadays. Thats makes them more impressive imho.They made so many great timeless music. May I suggest Fatbottemed girls live at the Bowl or One Vision live at Wembley. Much bless and keep up the good work.

[@sandrahilton3239]

Not that they weren't always good because they were....but this night they were at the top of their game and so in tuned to one another. Kuddos to all of them..but Roger's backup vocals were just incredible. To sing like that with so much power while playing drums...perfection!!
