You haven't truly heard this song until you hear in a live concert. Montreal Live 81 is the one I recommend.

[@egk2584]

@The Stormblooper Hopefully they will listen to that live version in Montreal. One of the coolest things about Queen is how much their songs differ from the studio version and live. Often they sound like totally different songs. This studio version is great but the Montreal version blows you away.

[@andorastorm1000]

@The Stormblooper me as well. Queen is one of the very few that sound better live then they do in studio.

[@lincolnlewis6979]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@richardscales9560]

Amen

[@ryangainey1402]

This comment! Have to check out the live performance.

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

With Queen you get Gospel, soul, funk, jazz, blues, heavy metal, folk, ragtime, rock & roll, callipso, opera, ballards and of course your basic rock music. They did it all and their live performances were on another level. There is just so much to learn about Queen and their incredible range of music. Four incredible musicians and song writers with different tastes and ideas that blended into one amazing band.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Perfectly said!!!!!!!!!!

[@claystevenson1821]

Absolutely

[@Danielik25]

This song was written by Freddie. It was his favorite song, he has adored Aretha and her singing, more Queen, please💕👑

[@joemc333]

It has nothing to do with aretha...she didn't create or an orginal for anything,

[@JanS1]

Also his Mum's favourite, and mine.

[@emcsquared8681]

The live at Montreal is literally the best version of this song.

[@ashleygracia7957]

Yeees

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

(Actually, Milton Keynes is better for Freddie's out-of-this-world vocals and for the emotional/energy/fun aspect; Montreal has the BEST HD video quality and is pretty much perfect, technically speaking... BUT, we ALL AGREE on what's important: LIVE is BETTER!!!)🖖💕

[@martinduquette8749]

Around my place.

[@dibxander2030]

Queen is in their own lane, they can't be pegged in a certain category. They make music for the masses.. They are all so professional in their crafts, and take pride in what they produce. Reaching back to early 70's making classic jams. Love me some Queen!!

[@sophiebernard1983]

somebody to love was Freddie's favorite song ! Montreal Concert is very very good…

[@gregrambo606]

There's actually only 3 people singing on this track: Mercury, Roger Taylor and Brian May. What they did was stack vocal track on top of vocal track on top of vocal track on top of vocal track make it seem like a choir. That was Freddie's idea. Try Dragon Attack by them next, from the album The Game. If you do the official lyric video, it probably won't get blocked.

[@kathleenohare8770]

They have so much versatility in their music and probably because all four Freddie, Brian, Roger and John wrote

[@leiahdiggins3959]

montreal 1981 now! hands down best live performance Ive ever seen.

[@GS-xt8fu]

BJ. Right on. Freddie loved Arethas vocal. He loved blues, rock and….classical and opera. That’s why his music along with the rest of the group is all over the place. Organized..all over.

[@martinl8574]

Live, they are unmatched. I seen them in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. 18th row. I still have the concert program. A treasure!!!

[@GatorNick]

Montreal 1981. Pretty much the entire concert Freddie and Queen were on fire and in their prime.

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

And now it's time to give your ears a real treat and listen to the live versions from Montreal '81 and Milton Keynes '82, the same song but each version completely different yet equally superb.

[@wordsleydave]

This was his homage to the great Aretha Franklin...he just absolutely adored her and her singing. This was his favourite song that he ever written. *Note* He had an Aretha song played at his funeral.

[@karenlkvm]

You haven't really heard this song until you hear the '81 Montreal Live HD version.

[@jorgealves3527]

You should see the Montreal concert 1981

[@jorgealves3527]

@@kristiedaniels9325 Listen to Exercises in free Love from the álbum Messenger from the Gods

[@sherryheim5504]

When watching the backup singers during this recording, bear in mind that both Roger and Brian sing these backups live while playing Drums and lead guitar which with Queen, never pulls back because of the vocals. Great song, Thank you for reacting. I agree with the other comment that live at Montreal 1981 is a mind blowing performance also. You really have to listen to this one and that one to see how dynamic this group really is. Don't feel guilty Asia, Freddie thought this was a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody and he wrote both so you are in good company. And Queen: Good Company is a fun song too, that one written and performed by Brian.

[@reneemenosky873]

Freddie Mercury wrote most of their songs he was a genius R.I.P. Freddie you are missed never be another

[@imweakfordeaky]

@@reneemenosky873 Freddie did not write “most” of their songs . Brian was almost equally productive as a songwriter. (Freddie and Brian were the main songwriters, especially on the first 3 albums) John wrote the fewest, but his “batting average” of well-received songs is excellent. Roger’s best ones didn’t come easily early on, but he hit a good stride in the 80’s and on into the last albums.

[@candilumpkin1196]

By the time I was old enough to go to a queen show Freddie had died. My mom always hated that I never got to see them in concert. But the last time they toured in the United States I was like 7 and my mom didn’t think I was old enough to go yet to such a big show. But it makes me so sad. But I love that they recorded so many live performances that I get see

[@BFLOJoker74HaHa]

I love this Queen song..I know alot of people love the “live/concert version”.. but I do like the studio version better.. Bcaus U can hear all of the bands harmonies alot better..than in the live show

[@keepitreal6881]

Aroha and respect to QUEEN from NZ. I like the studio version also for the same reasons. 👏👏👏👏

[@BFLOJoker74HaHa]

@@keepitreal6881 Again, I do like the live show version..But it just sounds so much different..Its more amped & vibrant..Its of course, different from just singing it in the studio (& I could swear I hear at least 2 more voices in studio version..a small additional choir or somthng..in the last big chorus part ..”Find me sombody to love”🎶”..& both singng & playn their instruments 🎸🥁 durng a concert..Freddie isnt dancng all over the studio like he does at the concert..The ovrall sound of the song just sounds better to me, in the studio version

[@theNOVEMBERman1116]

Freddie was a huge aretha franklin fan and considered her to be the best vocalist and you have to check out their live versions of this song from montreal 1981 and the bowl 1982 freddie sings them differently and they kinda sound like different song

[@saritatambayong4002]

Yeah, if you want to try reacting to Queen live, go with this song, in Montreal 1981

[@daggarcia]

They take it up a couple of levels.

[@theodoreritola9758]

This is what QUIEEN LOOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IN THE 70s ,,

[@loveym8879]

For almost every Queen song you want to do a live version. The band was always on fire live and Freddie always mesmerizing. Considered one of the best, if not the best, rock vocalist but also the best front man of music. Thanks for reacting to Queen. The Montreal 1981 is most people's favorite of this song. After that, Try White Queen live Hammersmith or Dragon attack 1981 montreal.

[@vivianwilson7183]

Freddie's voice is just one of those voices that comes once in a while. He also designed his own costumes. Check out, "Time Waits For No One". I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "Barcelona" with Freddie Mercury ft. Montserrat Caballe. They wrote their own songs but mostly Freddie did the writing. There was a video on KZbin asking which version of this same song you thought was the best. Freddie Mercury or George Michaels.

[@Enterjudas1]

Okay I think it’s time to watch their 1985 live aid performance

[@Pixelologist]

Queen's harmonies were ALWAYS fire! That was one of their trademarks - that and Brian's overdubbed guitars....along with, of course, Freddie's lead vocals....were big parts of what gave them their distinctive sound.

[@chrislc35]

you have yet to see Queen at their best, ie live. Freddie is well known as one of, if not the best frontman on stage. has the voice, charisma, basically has the crowd in the palm of his hand .

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

You can choose every day another favorite. LOL Pls, check out the live version at Montreal 81. and you will blown your mind.

To truly appreciate Queen, you have to have SEEN them live! Watching Freddie play the crowd is an entirely different experience from being in the audience he is playing.

You go, BJ --- Tell the truth. @ 3.48 BJ say "Ya...'cause you have to actually be an artist." LOVE IT. God bless you both.

[@keelo21us]

Freddy Mercury was such a once in a lifetime vocal artist, that they did studies on how he was able to have the range that he had and was able to do some of the things that he did.

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

Freddie "Four Octaves" Mercury was classically trained (as a youngster...) in music - hence, the mix of all different kinds of musical styles, all beautifully rolled into one! When QUEEN performed at London's Wembley Stadium during "LIVE AID '85" (a concert to benefit Africa, which at the time had experienced severe drought that consequently led to horrific everyday conditions for the people living on this continent...) - Freddie had all of us (70.000+...) eating out of his hand... and for ~20 minutes, the UK was ruled by a different QUEEN. I highly recommend you guys watch/react to that YT clip - you won't be disappointed!

[@twizzler31]

I’m liking this daily Queen content. Keep it up. As many have suggested the live Montreal version is brilliant. I’ve got to say I’m a huge fan of this version at Milton Keynes in ‘82

[@tinagriggs1004]

I agree...you need to watch them performing this song live in Montreal. The whole concert was good! Man..wish I had been there! This was Freddie's favorite song according to the band.

[@cwcroswell]

Freddie’s personal homage to Aretha!!! One of the greatest concerts I ever saw!!!! 🙏🏻❤️🎶

[@lynjones2461]

Freddie Mercury was simply the best showman I have ever seen and I was privileged to be young at their height xx he was exceptional a trained opera singer but found the genre of music he loved the best he was an exceptional song writer along with Sir Brian May lead guitarist who is also a Professor of Astrophysics xx they were exceptional even for the times with the likes of Sir Elton John George Michael and so many others it was for me the greatest time for music and the memories are immense xx I assume you have watched Queen at Live Aid 1985 the 20 minutes they were on stage is the greatest performance ever Sir Elton said "How the f.uck do I follow that " I think that sums up the consummate artists Queen were just amazing xx

[@maryadamec124]

Timeless and inspiring music -- that was the GENRE of QUEEN!! Can never get enough of Queen's harmonies -- absolute musical geniuses!! Please listen to "In the Lap of The Gods" studio version (NOT the Revisited version, totally different song)... and see why Freddie called Roger his 'dog whistle'... Thanks for another great reaction!!

[@JK-ld8cd]

back in the 70's, first album i ever owned, first concert i ever seen. Still get chills from these songs!

[@mikemcc9820]

Yes Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal and must but also Freddie was a genius at improvising. He never sang a song the same way twice. Queen - Somebody To Love (Live at Milton Keynes Bowl, 1982) Live Hyde Park 1976 You take My Breath away will give you chills.

[@headrushindi]

I can't listen to this song without being Mesmerized all over again just as I was as a young kid in 1977. I am a musician, that was inspired by Queen years ago , and I have heard many great bands, singers, and vocal groups through the years, but I can say without a doubt , I can't think of one other band, or one other vocalist , with the talent, style , charisma, and epic ability as Queen. I think I backed the right horse when , as a 12 year old kid all my Friends were beating their heads to Kiss, and AC-DC, and I was sitting with my headphones on and drinking in the endless genius , and nuance of Queen,s music.

[@loadedorygun]

This is my favorite vocal of Freddie’s. It’s a plaintive cry for love, but somehow there’s a real joy to it. Probably the gospel influence. I love the double claps, the piano percussion near the end, and him just wandering all over the harmony chorus at the end. Usually Roger Taylor handles all the highest vocals because he had the highest top end, but this one is Freddy and it’s such a beautiful croon even in falsetto. And the pitch management!

[@ravenmasters2467]

I grew up listening to queen. they were just there throughout my childhood. because of that i never really appreciated how special they were, it was just normal for music to be that good. it was only in my twenties that i realised they werent normal they were exceptional. i loved your reactions and your apaparently genuine appreciation of them. thanks for this.
