Queen - The Show Must Go On (Official Video) REACTION

[@Ruby348080]

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it. Knowing he was actively dying of AIDS when he was recording this just rips me apart. RIP Freddie

[@RoverWaters]

look up: The Show Must Go On - Queen Days of our Lives Brian says clearly it was not recorded in one tak

[@Ruby348080]

Rover Waters I didn’t say it was recorded in one take.

[@stephenweeber9941]

if this breaks your heart then dont listen to mother love

[@laural.enright4780]

I think this is my favorite Queen song for that very reason. Everything, lyrics, music, performances come together so perfectly considering the back story. And that video is just brilliant. Brilliant and poignant. Makes me misty watching it.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

He was recently voted the greatest male vocalist of all time.

[@arrv544]

extremely well deserved. Freddie was a gift to mankind, just taken too soon.

[@dlilwon]

Oh yeah he is. No other voice comes close

[@lupoarg]

@@dlilwon Well I'd say Michael Jackson's is definitely a close second tho. But yeah

[@amberkelly3187]

No one like him.

[@jacobgriffin1261]

The song was about how Freddie wanted everyone to continue moving forward even though he was dying from Bronchiopneumonia which he contracted from having AIDS. It means a lot more when you think about it in that context.

[@DevonDaVinci]

You've taken my world full of cotton candy and rainbows and made it all bad :(

[@jacobgriffin1261]

@@DevonDaVinci Definitely a sad meaning, but he made the song so we wouldn't be upset over his passing, so take it for what it's worth. Love the channel btw 👍

[@peterd440]

May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Mercury's performance, May states; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling' - vodka down - and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal." Wikipedia. Mercury's condition had deteriorated so much they couldn't shoot any new footage for the video and six weeks after the single's release in the UK he died. It's funny to think that the clips from "I want to break free" where they're in drag are what lost Queen a lot of radio play in the US and they didn't tour North America again. The band band remained hugely popular in the rest of the world and their home country in particular. In their final tour in Europe tin the summer of 1986 they played to well over a million people with over 400,000 in the UK alone culminating in their last ever performance with Mercury at Knebworth, England to 120,000 people. I was at that show and the Sunday Wembley show. Epic.

[@spydrmac4010]

I was going to tell him. Glad you did. The timing of this song along with Freddie being I'll changes the entire meaning for me. If you really open yourself to the experience, I have a feeling the listener can figure out this is a swan song.

[@chaos-fk6fs]

The song is written by Dr. Brian May. Actually it is about his divorce and the passing of his father at that time but he admitted that it got another meaning because of Freddies condition.

[@juliagoolia1517]

Every time I listen to this song I cry! 😢 I had the pleasure of seeing Queen in concert in Berlin in the early 80's! Fantastic!!! RIP Freddie, we miss you so much! ❤

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

I'm so jealous.

[@shayneramsay1388]

Freddie is by far one of the greatest talents to ever stand on a stage, he had the persona and then the phenomenal voice to give us legendary songs that will always be remembered

[@estoy1001]

The line "my make-up may be flaking..." in context is extremely powerful and defiant.

[@mazzespain]

Like a Queen fan for more than 30 years, I´ll recommend you one song "Who wants to live forever", one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. And Thank you for your awesome musical taste and your sincerly reactions, man.

[@johnrutherford6877]

the legend goes that Brian May was concerned that Freddie wouldnt manage to sing the song as he was so ill at this point. Freddie propped himself up, said: 'I'll fucking do it, darling', downed a vodka then sung it IN ONE TAKE! If true its an astonishing achievement.

[@tplouffe9226]

I believe its true because Roger said the same exact story

[@johnrutherford6877]

A remarkable man.

[@susanorchard1994]

Yes it's true.

[@RoverWaters]

one take is not possible for a complicated recording like SMGO or any other Queen song however "one take" here refers to the chorus line

[@johnrutherford6877]

I find this more believable.

[@julesb1970]

You invented a new word, Mugicians....I like it because there really are musicians out there that perform magic with their vocals, talent, originality and Freddie Mercury was just that, Magic, he was the best showman and his talent was like no other! Thank you!😊

[@troubleintheneighbourhood8290]

The bridge on this song is incredible. They way it comes in, the lyrics, the music.

[@nwmonk3105]

Having grown up listening to Queen since the late 70's, I cannot hear this song without tearing up. So melancholy yet inspiring. The shirt was not Madonna, it was Marilyn Monroe.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Quite literally Freddie’s swan song. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this song. I have no idea how he found the strength to record this and sound as good as he did, given how sick and frail he was at the time. And what’s great about this is you can tell his band mates played and sang their hearts out for him, hear the passion and sadness in their voices and instruments. One of the greatest recordings of all time.

[@rokaanalzeer]

It’s also gonna be in the bohemian rhapsody film. Fuck that’s gonna be tough to hear at the end of the film

[@johnstitt3717]

Either Mother Love or A Winter's Tale is his swan song. Not this. A Winter's Tale is the last song to be fully written by Freddie. He co-wrote Mother Love with Brian May and it was the last song he sang. One can argue the A Winter's Tale is Freddie's swan song, and Mother Love is Queen's swan song, because Mother Love is the last Queen song by all four of them, though they released new Queen songs after, but with Freddie's voice from the 80s.

[@RoverWaters]

for complex mixes like almost all Queen songs the vocals are split into sections. To think that Freddie sang this song start to finish in one take and that take got on the final product it's naive if not stupid.

[@johnstitt3717]

Also, 'quite literally' means he sang about swans or he sang like a swan. I don't know the source of the recent spate of misusing the word, literally, but it sounds really uneducated.

[@darrenjones5885]

It is telling that Mercury kept recording even as he was dying. He knew he wouldn’t live to see the albums released and the money they made would be of no use to him. He was an artist through and through, and immortalised in his work.

[@ElissaStark514]

Darren Jones Yeah, I always say that. There aren’t many “artists” who would continue until almost the day they died. “Keep writing me more,” Freddie said. “Release it as long as you can after I’m gone.” It wasn’t about getting followers on Instagram. It was about the music. That last video they did, where he looked sooo sick breaks my heart, but it’s so amazing that he got up and did that. He was so cold, ever under the lights, that he had thermals on. Amazing.

[@Pulsar77]

The music video is actually a compilation of other Queen videos, it's an overview and tribute to Freddie's career. Have you heard Innuendo? It's my favorite Queen song. Check out Pink Floyd as well. If you're a Queen fan, I'm sure you're going to love their music too. And Pink Floyd is very lenient on copyright, so there's usually no need for pauses. A good place to start is Comfortably Numb Live Pulse.

[@SCTDavies]

Pink Floyd man... damn.. and yeah Comfortably Numb at Pulse. That's the number one way to introduce anyone to Floyd.

[@Sparen66]

Exactly. Anyone who isn't familiar needs to watch other Queen videos and you can see the amazing pieces this video is a compilation of.

[@James-en4cx]

Please react to Ted Nugent's song, "Jailbait."

[@RoverWaters]

look up: The Show Must Go On - Queen Days of our Lives Brian says clearly it was not recorded in one take

[@jamalwest7658]

Keep in mind, Freddy Mercury was actually dying of Aids when this album was being recorded, this wound up being one of the last songs he managed to complete before his death later that year, and still he can reach those high notes with so much power, that's inhuman

[@lindamacey6559]

Freddie Mercury Lover of life...Singer of songs.. will be loved always 🌹

[@sadfaery]

I'm watching this video the day after it was published, and I wanted to mention that today, Sept 5, 2018, would have been Freddie's 72nd birthday.

[@jacksongutowski]

To think that he recorded this 6 months before his imminent death makes the song haunting and majestic. A true work of art.

[@johnbarraco5561]

how many of us could sing out.... dying, with such power...QUEEN ROCKED BACK IN THE DAY...Freddie Mercury was awesome....pretty much a video on all there other videos put together..to honor him..great song thank you for showing it..

[@GinMae]

Met Freddie and the whole band in 1976 -- when I was 15 -- never was there a more charming person than Freddie... and Brian .... a long story, but they all went out of their way to make a couple of awkward teenage girls feel appreciated.... in a hotel lunchroom... before we went back to stand in line for the concert... and got a nod & smile from the stage from each... one of my most cherished memories...

[@deb8442]

The show must go on....on the concert stage and life's stage. God bless Freddie.

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

Freddie will always be the best performer off all time. No autotune, just his own voice. A true legend. RIP Superstar, you are sorely missed.

[@doyle8711]

I would love to see you watch "These are the days of our lives" It's basically a goodbye to the fans from Freddie and very heart breaking.

[@62rockin]

Devon, Queen are Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor (Drums) and John Deacon (Bass) I love your passion for Queen. Keep reacting to them. Thank You for posting on You Tube. Today, September 5th, is Freddie's Birthday. He would have been 72 years old.

[@Saddlemomma]

This video is a compilation of all their previous videos. He continued to record up until a month before his death, but couldn't be in vids any more.

[@lavolpe8525]

I think "I want to break free" is the next song to react to.

[@paulamartinez7493]

That's one of my personal favorites from Queen 🙃

[@WickedFlyGirl]

Please can you react to Mother Love by queen!!!??? This song was the last one that Freddie recorded and he never finished it. The story was that during a recording session, Freddie felt ill and tired, so, he said to the band that he would finish it in the morning...he never did... 😪 the song was finished by Brian May who sung the last verse for Freddie after he passed away. It’s so sad when Brian starts to sing, because you know that Freddie worked until he died on that song! He was an absolute legend and such a fucking brave man!! I mean wow!! What a magnificent human being! That voice! That talent! And that bravery!! R.i.p you Legend! ✨🌟

[@hahatoldyouso]

[@parkviewmo]

Freddie is wearing a Marilyn Monroe shirt, BUT, her really was supportive of other artists. He gave great kudos to George Michael and Boy George, he adored Aretha, and his favorite singer was Montserrat Caballé, an opera diva. Just because you love Freddie you may want to watch Montserrat Caballé and Freddie singing a duet of Barcelona, which he co-wrote.

the others members are Roger Taylor in drums and choirs and John Deacon in bass, this videoclip is a montage of others videoclips of them, because Freddie was to sick to shoot.

[@AntiSCO]

If you enjoyed Freddie dressed as a woman, then find the video to the song "I Want To Break Free", as that footage is from that video. It's a riot!

[@egretta8321]

And because of the cross dressing the old farts running MTV at the time actually banned the video in the USA. Would you believe it! The video done by Queen was actually a spoof of the British soap opera Coronation Street - Brian's idea apparently. I so miss Queen!

[@nuruddin1991]

When i hear this song... I'll cry, because this is the song when Freddie know his time has come and like his trying to tell his friend and fans yo move along even when his gone... It's suck you know when he is your idol but you cannot seing him in real life

[@lizrutherford2656]

Freddie Mercury - lead singer. Held a Bachelor's in Arts & Graphic Design. Designed Queen's logo. Dr. Brian May, CBE - lead guitar. PhD is Astrophysics. Co-founder of Asteroid Day. Worked on NASA's New Horizon's mission to Pluto. John Deacon - bass gutiar. Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. Made the Deacy Amp that worked in conjunction with Brian May's Red Special guitar. Roger Taylor - drums. Bachelor's in Biology. Originally studied to be a dentist, but found it "boring" (according to Taylor). Mercury's death hit Deacon the hardest. He performed with Queen only three more times--in 1992, 1993 and 1997--before he retired. The last thing he did was the video for "No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)". He lives in the Puntey district of London with his wife of 40+ years. May stated in a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone that he and Taylor have little contact with Deacon outside of Queen finances.

[@jakfrost25]

My favourite Queen song; the poignancy, the lyrics, the craft and of course the vocals. Happy birthday Freddie, truly the best.

[@Sneak65]

Speaking of throwing shade check out one of the best diss songs ever created. Death on Two Legs, a song about Queen's first manager. Vicious.

[@puppies4trish]

I’m so very happy to see so many young men posting reaction videos. I really appreciate that you are digging @Devon. It’s so brilliant watching so many young folks appreciating Queen. As a suggestion, Mother Love is very difficult to listen to. He was very ill by then. He recorded Mother Love over several days due to his weakness. Freddie said he’d come back to record the final verse. He died before he could sing it. Apparently his wish was for Queen to publish everything they had done, so Brian May gives a raw heart wrenching performance on the 3rd verse.... picked up where Freddie left off. Do yourself a favour, Mother Love.

[@susanorchard1994]

And to think, if Freddie was ill now, he could have lived. Love u, Freddie.

[@veevintage2619]

Freddie was literally dying when he wrote and recoded this. He knew he was ill but he never officially disclosed his illness till a day before he actually passed away. This song is a statement, it’s basically his desire to entertain and please his fans despite his heartache at leaving this world and his deteriorating physical condition. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking. The bass player is John Deacon and the drummer is Roger Taylor btw.

[@svilenkonac2084]

Its nice to see somebody actually reaction to music. Good video

[@DarkSektori]

The Video where Freddy is dressed in Drag, was from the video "I Want to Break Free" from Queen's 1984 album "The Works" the whole band was dressed in Drag. Not to be taken seriously, it was a humorous parady of a British Soap Opera "Coronation Street" it was quite well received outside the US (Where MTV actually banned the video) anyone familiar with British comedy would get the humor here and know that drag is a staple in British comedy it had nothing to do with "wanting to wear women's clothes" it was meant to be fun and funny that's it period. It's interesting to you brought up Michael Jackson, because Freddy and Michael Jackson we're good friends, Michael was a big Queen fan and would always come to Queen shows when they played the Forum in LA. In fact Michael and Freddy recorded several songs together, "State of Shock" and "There Must be More to Life then This" (recorded in 1981 I believe) interesting to hear both singing a duet I must say. Yeah Brian May and Freddy Mercury are well known but all 4 members were equally important and contributed their own style and lead to some huge hits. "Another One Bites the Dust" was written by John Decon the bassist and Roger wrote some huge hits like "A Kind of Magic" and Those Are the Days of Our Lives" This song was mostly written by Brian May who is hands down one of the top 5 greatest Guitarists of all time.

[@MrStarflakes]

Whatever you do, don't react to the music video to These are the Days of our Lives (from the same album) - he was in the final stages in his battle with AIDS and very thin and heavily made-up. It's a great song but I literally cry every time I see the video.

I feel your pain Alabaster Soul Traveler however I feel it’s part of the journey of a new fan to take in the greatness as well as the bad. It’s an emotional video but still full of hope for the future. He still has a sparkle behind his eyes. It’s also his farewell to the fans. That last line still gets me every time.

[@susanorchard1994]

OMG yes. Especially the end where he smiles at the camera and whispers,' I still love you.' That was his way of saying goodbye to his fans. That was confirmed by Brian May.

The song was written by guitarist Brian May about Freddie Mercury's continuing efforts to perform despite nearing the end of his life. It was released in the UK on October 14, 1991 just six weeks before Freddy died.The shirt at the end is actually Madonna's inspiration, Marilyn Monroe I think.

[@PaulRiley69]

As many below have pointed out, this was recorded days before he passed, when HIV and AIDS had completely destroyed his body, they couldn't destroy his voice. The video was compiled and released after he had died. It's worth checking out the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (there are snippets throughout youtube) where the remaining members of the band performed the bands back catalogue with many famous people performing in Freddie's place.

When I was in nursing school a group of us went to a concert at the Forum. We went to see a relatively new group ( to us) by the name of Queen. They opened with a song called Killer Queen. I fell in love with Freddy Mercury right there. He had it all, the voice of an Angel, charisma and fun. So much fun to watch. He had long hair then it was that long ago. I followed his music over the next 10 years I still have all the LP's and play Night of the Opera at least once a week. When we realized how sick he was we all felt so bad, we knew the outcome. The world lost a real treasure. It was one of the great highlights of my life and I still miss his voice and incredible music. It was the only time Queen played LA (1977) so I feel so lucky to have been there. (Roxanne Alcazar.)

[@dukesworld4111]

Great song! One of my favorites from Queen. As to your concern about the video getting blocked, you're pretty safe with Queen songs. They've always been pretty cool with having their music shared with new audiences. I've seen several people react to Queen videos without pausing or cutting the video at all, and I've never heard any stories of it getting blocked. Now, if you ever try to do a Led Zeppelin song, you'll have your work cut out for you. They will block anything that isn't chopped up to smithereens!

Nice reaction, saw MJ in 87 or 88 in the 'bad' tour - was only 9 or 10, think my parents didn't want to spend 47 quid back then to let me go - but still so many years later it made an impact. Wish I had appreciated queen at the time, only in the last few years have I come round to queen. Keep up the good work.

[@RetrofanFilms]

To put this video in historical context, this video was aired on MTV just a mere day or two after Mercury had died.
