OK, you've come far enough in your Queen/Freddie Mercury journey to react to Live Aid-full set. It's almost 20 min. long but it will be the fastest 20 min. you've ever spent. Keep up the great work.

I have loved watching you fall in love with Queen and especially enjoy your losing your mind over Freddie Straight banger

[@missdee5169]

Going from calling HIM Queen to a first name basis calling him just Freddy lol

[@garrettsfo]

I was working in healthcare in San Francisco when this song came out during the AIDS crisis. We were all “Under Pressure”. Listen to the lyrics carefully and you will know what I’m talking about. 😎👍

[@MINOUTFTABOU]

I understood the text immediately, although English is not my native language. One lyric makes me melancholic *Splits a family in two* this line of text hurts unspeakably, because I have experienced this. Because I never belonged and was never accepted as illegitimate. Both, Freddie and David Bowie, sang about a social situation that unfortunately exists. During the AIDS pandemic, many families broke away from each other because families were ashamed that there was a person with HIV in their family. Many died alone and were disowned by their own family. Shame was greater than understanding. *You did a good job and this "Under pressure"*

[@lowrider4266]

The original or studio with David Bowie is the best to experience this song. The duo amazing vocals of both are just beautiful and makes the song better. IMO.

[@karaamundson3964]

Bowie sang in the Band Aid prod of this...this is just a very interesting cut @ 3 minutes as well as other places

[@peppermintcrush5794]

So sad that Queen and Bowie never sung this together live!

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

I think both versions sound good whether it's the solo version with David Bowie or Queen in concert.

[@mattplus09]

Queen is so good that it's easy to overlook the fact that they are live...back then you had to be good live to survive (for the most part). Peace!

[@aarondx3764]

You really need to do studio versions tjis one had David Bowie on it.

[@queenshersei896]

Yes definitely!

[@allisonbeth4678]

The recorded versions of Queen songs are so much better than live.

[@empressofmisrule]

@@allisonbeth4678 I like hearing how amazing Freddy's voice was live and seeing the interaction with the audience.

[@rachdamnedtireddragon6735]

you should listen to some David Bowie

[@janettallison-wickwire420]

Yes!!!

[@TheBonny720]

The bass riff was made by John Deacon the bassist. Funny story is that when they were jammin with David Bowie, Deacon came up with it, and they all loved it. Then they all went out for pizza and when they got back, Deacon had forgotten the riff completely! Luckily the drummer Roger Taylor remembered it.

[@valentinobambino6728]

I saw a video where Bowie states that when he got to the studio, the riff was already written. However some tell that Bowie taught it to Deacon.

[@davebain1982]

No one knows what to believe unless you were there at the time. And these days with Brian and Roger there’s about 50 different versions for every story they have

[@ruthbright4724]

You HAVE TO see the original . This song is actually a collaboration between Freddie and DAVID BOWIE.

[@lukanovak1492]

Please react to the studio version Queen with David Bowie (Under Pressure)

[@FionaKaneTheWellnessConnection]

Now the know the greatness of Queen you really do need to know the greatness of David Bowie, begin with the version of Under Pressure that he is in, hearing two of the greatest voices of the last century together is brilliant. I also love the lyrics especially the bit that Bowie does in the end (cos loves such and old fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night and love dares you to change your way of caring about ourselves, this is our last dance, this is our last dance, this is ourselves, under pressure).

[@TheMsLisaF]

I got to sit in on a Bowie sound check once - long story lol.

[@IamCaptainInsano]

I've always loved this collaboration. Freddie and Bowie were both such raw singers.

[@shannonvass3761]

Ohhhh no!!! You didn’t see the studio version . 😱😭😢😱 This is great 💙❤️ but I love the one where David Bowie is included.

[@nanceadler1017]

I love how much you love Queen - one of the best ever - Freddie is unique and amazing.

[@charlottebenson4609]

Darling, I think you’re ready for Bowie. Hard to choose from the finest and most diverse back catalogue in popular music but you MUST react to Ashes To Ashes (early 80s synth) and Let’s Dance (later 80s dance funk produced by Chic’s Nile Rodgers)

[@agent606]

I think if he’s going to react to Bowie he needs to do early Bowie. Ziggy stardust Bowie. Aladdin sane Bowie. Rebel rebel Bowie,

[@karaamundson3964]

[@aldiasmaestrada2960]

Yes! He would definitely love Sir Bowie

[@sannaolsson9106]

This is the first time they performed this live. This is far from my favorite Queen song but they did this one better in later years and had more fun with it. If you had watched the version from Wembley you would have seen him do a fun vocal thing with the audience for around 2 minutes. Check out that one too 👍🏻

[@davebain1982]

Actually this is a mix between both nights

[@davebain1982]

Don't forget Bowie's influence in this tune. RIP Ziggy Stardust

[@cherylparker1426]

This is my all time favorite Queen song! Must listen to studio version with Bowie, it will knock your socks off!

[@jennyc9360]

The end of this song becomes an anthem of hope, way before its time. Queen live still resonates today with heart and soul.

You love Queen so much! You rocker!

This song helped me cope with my life when it spun down a bit(a lot) hearing David Bowie's voice in there was also super helpful

[@ChesuMori]

I found this channel because the Phil Collins video blew up (guess that's what happens when a song is popular through memes), and my first thought was to check if you've reacted to any Queen songs. I haven't been disappointed!

[@gailmcgough4079]

Would love to see your reaction to the studio version with David Bowie. Speaking of Bowie, he did a song (among many) called "Space Oddity" that was not only great, but sad at the same time. Elton John sang "Rocket Man' which you've already done, but that's really vanilla sounding compared with Bowie's "Space Oddity" - the haunting music and the story is quite moving. Saw David Bowie in concert at the old Sullivan Stadium (now Gillette Stadium) back in 1983. It was pouring but when Bowie took the stage, the rain clouds parted and the concert was unbelievable. When the show was over, the rain clouds returned and it poured again! It was a memorable night. See: patch.com/massachusetts/foxborough/remembering-time-david-bowie-came-foxborough-0

[@debbeborders5762]

Love to see you emotional watching Freddie and enjoying these great live performances. Enjoy.

[@alexriley5580]

I love that every time you listen to Queen, you get so wrapped up in the music you can't even comment until the end of the song. I highly recommend Who Wants to Live Forever. If that song doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you aren't human

[@lollinelson5549]

Such a great song!! Freddie's performance of this song at the 1986 Wembley is better, because he does the call and response with the audience. If you don't remember, Ice, Ice stole the bass line for this song. Queen and Bowie sued and won!! Great job!

[@danielsonnv]

The Wembley performance was not better, just more popular!

[@lollinelson5549]

@@danielsonnv I love this performance because Freddie hits the high note at the beginning of the song!! But, I said the Wembley was better, not for Freddie's vocals, but because he does an incredible and fun "call and response" ending in F*** You!! And the audience is with him every second! It's unlike anything else! To me, that is why it is better and maybe more popular! Thanks for your point of view!

@@lollinelson5549 If you're partial to the Wembley version, fine! The whole "sing along" thing is cute, but technically, the Montreal version is wayyyy better, thanks for your point of view!

[@wctoronto]

One of my top all time fave songs by two huge legends...and the best collab song ever! Still love this song since I first heard it in grade 6. Still epic after 39 years. I hope when the younger folks hear us ‘older’ folks say, “They don’t make songs as epic as they used to...sigh...” that they realize we REALLY mean it. I think my generation (Gen-X) grew up at one of the best times in music history. I may be a bit biased. 😉

[@Olaf_G]

I have no idea if the meeting still takes place, but in Montreux, for example, cooperations between Queen and David Bowie were initiated by producers to create "Under Pressure". And it also burned (in another year) down the hotel Frank Zappa stayed at. That's why there was "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple, who had moved into a hotel on the opposite side of the lake and saw the smoke over Lake Geneva!

[@kathrynmitchell4344]

Remember how much you enjoyed Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics. After Freddie Mercury died, there was a tribute concert for him, and Annie Lennox (of the Eurythmics) sang with David Bowie -- an amazing version of Under Pressure is the *rehearsal* version the day before the televised tribute. The energy is great from Lennox and Bowie. You can find it on KZbin, the title is "Under Pressure - Bowie and Lennox" and I think you'll enjoy it.
