Queen - You Take My Breath Away (Live At Hyde Park 1976) REACTION!

[@DoeDarling]

Happy Valentines Day! 💝

[@erickinfantas2564]

Same to you, Doe!!

[@wayneross3586]

same to you Doe

[@sharonallforloveandpositiv5497]

Could you please react to Freddie Mercury "Exercises in Free love". Just Freddie and Mike Moran on the Piano. It's beautiful. I know you will absolutely love it. Please 🙏

[@Jamienomore]

Great Song and Very Good Reactions. 🧸❤

[@Othraerir]

happy birthday me :) great song

[@Oberon-uc8dh]

I played this song to my girlfriend back in 1976 and then asked her to marry me!! She said yes and 46 years later we are still happily married (to each other lol)

[@bettybaby63]

No one can deliver a romantic song quite like Freddie. “You gotta listen to this one.” And they all did, all 120,000+ of them.

[@gabrielgoncalvescarvalho4438]

freddie mercury's voice was out of this world! this song makes it clear!

[@MrJvne]

There is "Jealousy" on the "Jazz " album, which got a seamless tone. "You Take" is my favorite song too, so pleasing to sing anywhere, at anytime... a masterpiece, both simple and complex. Really smart piece of art in fact. Freddie was (and still is, in our hearts with Queen's legacy) a real genius, each of the band was, a perfect match at the time.

[@carolefournier345]

Only Freddie and his piano.... Amazing 😍

[@toddthompson7478]

And that's all you need. It's such a wonderful live performance that I often watch it over and over.

[@rodolfosarona2504]

Althoug short love the song

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

"Dreamy" is the perfect description of this song. You nailed its atmospheric quality. It is also sweet, longing, and slightly melancholic. So beautiful.

[@roberttaylor8959]

was in the crowd, and we loved it couple of girls in tears i remember

[@DoeDarling]

Omg that's amazing!

[@HypurrrBoy]

To me, this is one of Freddie's most precious gems. Give the studio version a listen too. It's entrancing. Happy Valentine Day !

[@blastingweevil2968]

and that right there is why no one will ever be able to sing like Freddie just amazing.

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Freddie ensured us a small insight into his soul with a song that is able to touch everybody's heart.

[@seancasey5024]

Such a beautiful song.

[@jad4680]

my favourite freddie mercury live perfomance "STUNNING!!!. ; )

[@lizzibear]

Imagine being there and hearing a never before released Queen song?! This is one of my favs and favourite versions. The way he sings it is everything 🥰

[@DoeDarling]

Did they know how lucky they were?! Arghhh, imagine

[@bandmom3505]

I love how Freddie told them they need to listen and by the end, that crowd of 150,000 was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

[@discofish]

one of my favourite live performances ever

[@albertodiaz2391]

Freddie Mercury beatifull voice best voice rock beatifull song happy valentine day

[@thegman8968]

Freddie at his best!! I was fortunate to see Freddie perform this when I saw QUEEN in concert in 1977! 😊 Thanks for this one Doe!

[@johnfallona4348]

In the studio version Freddy does all the harmonies himself just like Nevermore, studio. Live at Earls Court 1977 is also good in a slightly different way

[@georgekenny1572]

Freddie did just what Freddie does, he holds you with his voice and performance just wow

[@bukeksiansu2112]

The live and the studio version, I love both.

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

I prefer studio version, for Freddie's layered vocals!!!!! No Roger, no Brian, Just MAESTRO Freddie all by himself (on vocals)

[@erickinfantas2564]

You really loved this performance. It is beautiful. Now, I, and Im sure everybody here, would LOVE to see your first-time reaction to the studio recording. The prelude with those vocals is truly INCREDIBLE, Doe! And the ending, oh my gosh, the ending!!! It’s wicked! Wicked!! I always told myself, “Ok. Freddie went crazy. He went insane. He’s so in love with this person that at some point, he lost his sanity and he entered into another mental state.” That’s how intense the ending of this song is!! Will we get to see your reaction to that, though? 🙂

[@DoeDarling]

I could react to it too if people would like 😄😁 it sounds awesome haha

[@erickinfantas2564]

@@DoeDarling yes! We know you would be reacting to the same song, but a live performance is one thing, and the studio recording, very different. It’s the same for any recording artist. Now, in the case of Queen, it’s almost TOTALLY different. When we, musicians, are on stage, tempos go naturally faster. But sometimes arrangements change, choices are made, decisions; it’s fun to revisit a song you have recorded months ago and adjust things here and there. Brian said himself on interviews, “We’re never trying to recreate on stage what we have done in studio. The live performance should be an experience in itself. It’s different.” Very brave and true. So, consider making a video for this “You take my breath away”/ studio version. You will not regret it. Go deep in the lyrics this time. Maybe share how Freddie’s life was at the time: break up with dear Mary, dating here and there, falling for people and getting heart broken, etc. It’s a beautiful journey this song. He’s so passionate; almost obsessed at some points. Thank you for reacting to this performance today and for sharing it with us. Your love for Queen, Doe, is so beautiful and brings back memories for many of us. Happy Valentine’s day again! 😄👋🏽

[@fryke]

@@DoeDarling People would like. At least if I'm people. :)

[@bluebell3720]

@@erickinfantas2564 He was living with David Minns when he performed this. It was for him. David didnt say clearly but said they spend nearly everday together by summer 75. They then dated for 2 months and he made Freddie tell mary or he was leaving him. When he had money he bought them a flat They lived yogether until 78 he left him for joe fanelli

[@karenj3611]

The studio version is impeccable. Freddie did all of the vocals himself and it just incredible

[@larshenrikfabrin7640]

What a great pick for Valentine's day! I loved your reaction to this stunningly beautiful song. It is indeed (in my view) one of the greatest Queen love songs - maybe the best (but there are so many). It remains one of my favorites from 'A Day at the Races', and you should also listen to the studio version (if you haven't done so already, which is hard to believe). Well I have not heard this live performance of the song, so thank you for reacting to it!

[@nariandez]

one of the most sincere performances from Freddie! So mesmerizing! I watched this one hundred times and ready to do it again and again! Thanks Doe for your brilliant reactions 💓 Happy Valentines Day and best wishes from Moscow =)

[@soniamariafernandesgoncalv1332]

No words..... Freddie takes my breath away ...and in the sane time he makes me feel beand new .....my dear gokden angel ...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@celticpoet21]

Beautifully said! Bravo! Such a mystifyingly beautiful song! Once again, a giant reminder that their live performances are a huge testament to their unquestionable pure talent. There was nothing Freddie couldn't sing, his piano skills would impress even the likes of Mozart and Beethoven, yet he was so modest!

[@gian8134]

I was actually hanging on every note, every word, too!

[@gd3369]

this song touches your soul

[@JanS1]

Stunning vocal by Freddie ❤ I love how the crowd starts out a bit noisy (requiring a couple of Freddie finger pointing warnings) and is dead silent by the end. The studio version is lovely, Freddie's voice (only) layered for harmonies. There's also an acapella version that's pretty amazing to hear. (We all have a crush, it's okay)

[@ArBaCw]

This is my all time favorite Queen song. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1976 and I was blown away with the voice of Freddy and the beauty of this song. Played it since then at least a 1000 times and it still give me chills every time again and again. Thank you for playing this song.

[@ChauceyEllis]

I agree with you 100%. It's a beautiful song that gives me chills all over listening to it. I also think it's normal to crush on Freddie - he was talented, charismatic and romantic. Totally swoon-worthy ;-)

[@normalasamsudin1891]

I agree. This is the most beautiful song ever.

[@debramoore7513]

Happy Valentines Day Doe Darling! 💝💖💞💕 Freddie is exquisite during this performance. Singing a not-yet-recorded song for that special someone who was in attendance!! I love that Freddie put it out there for all to see!! 🥰😍😘 🥂🍾

[@janeennelson3534]

Entered my soul. ❤❤❤❤. Felt every note ever word. I fell in love

[@paultimmins9811]

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Doe, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG sung SO BEAUTIFULLY by Freddie Mercury & Live. Did you notice how Freddie controlled the AUDIENCE, just by raising one finger. ENJOY YOUR EVENING Doe ♥️😊. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT REACTION video.

[@juliannetomlinson]

Voice of an angel the person Freddie wrote this for was there that night..I am sure he would have loved it.

[@ohsure07]

Happy Valentine’s Day!💜 thanks for the reaction. I have to agree with you it is a beautiful ballad.

[@cosmos586]

Happy Valentine's Day too 🌹, this song is my favorite, such a sweet voice... a timeless singer

[@janeennelson3534]

I m reminded of how beautiful love is and how it goes right to your soul.

[@annecraycroft9989]

Yes Doe, I agree with you, this is dreamy. Freddie draws you in with his beautiful emotions. It's lovely to listen to and watch Freddie melt into this song. Thank you Doe!

[@uk130belfor2]

Love this song Doe , so raw and emotional

[@catherinedudley6953]

I loved this reaction! And that is exactly how I felt the first time seeing this video. I was haunted by it for a while after. I’m going to London next month for my first time ever, and I want to go to Hyde Park, just to be in the same place that Freddie did this performance. Ha ha, that’s like the one thing I have on my list that I want to do😂🤷‍♀️ and, I agree with you about the love. I am a happily married woman, that is head over heels in love with a dead man, ha ha, and my husband knows all about it.

[@HotSpaceFanatic]

The first song to ever make me shed a few tears. Love it Doe!

[@erickinfantas2564]

Wow. I have a story about this, Doe. I was watching the Freddie Mercury Tribute on VHS back then. Metalica started it. Then, Extreme killed it!, and so forth different acts followed. But in between acts, they would show bits and pieces of Freddie’s videos, montages with slow Queen songs. That’s when I heard “My melancholy blues”. Wow, that made me tear up a little bit. But when another montage came, they played “Every breath you take”, and watching Freddie all happy and full of life, Doe, I cried. I sobbed. I was crying like a baby, there in my living room in front of my TV, and the paused VHS tape. Doe, listen to the studio recording!! “A day at the races”, second song, side A. the vocals, the overdubbed vocals… WOOOOOW!! I WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY!!! It’s a MASTERPIECE!!!

[@DoeDarling]

Thank you for sharing ❤ I can totally understand you being in tears, I have over Freddie before for sure. I'll have to check out the studio version now thanks!

[@erickinfantas2564]

@@DoeDarling 👍🏽😀🙏🏽

[@JohnnyMegabyteCanada]

Freddie Mercury Tribute concert is iconic. I didn't think it could be pulled off, but it was. Sadly getting Elton to sing Bo Rap off key was the only issue. Sure he's a star, the song is beyond his vocal range. The Crowd could have done a better job IMHO

[@chiquitabigotes8139]

Yay! You picked the perfect song for today. I love your look btw, you're so beautiful ❤️❤️ The studio version of this song has a ton of beautiful harmonies by Freddie, if you haven't listened to it you should. Have you heard In My Defense? From the Time musical. It's amazing and I'd love to hear your thoughts, Freddie sounds incredible

[@DoeDarling]

Thank you so much, I'm definitely going to have to check out the studio version now! Not yet, but it's one on the list to react to soon ❤

[@garykidson4489]

​@@DoeDarling I second this, In My Defence is such a lovely song!

[@richardmcpike3864]

Hey Doe, you really need to hear the full version...Queen - You Take My Breath Away (Official Lyric Video). A masterpiece!

[@johngee8019]

Just my opinion but I prefer this live version, simple and unadulterated, I think the studio version is over produced and the message gets lost somewhat.

[@taylortyler1867]

The quality _AND_ quantity of excellent songs written and performed by Queen is unmatched by any band in history. They literally _CAN'T_ make a bad song. Some bands have a few good songs and the rest are so-so. There are no so-so songs by Queen. It's all or nothing. _AND_ the fact that they do so many different genres, makes that even more impressive. I love "Modern Times Rock & Roll" just as much as "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" and you can't _GET_ more opposite spectrum songs than those 2. Somebody tell me I'm wrong. Btw, Doe, you're looking more lovely than ever.😘

[@janeennelson3534]

Yes it’s the most beautiful song ever. ❤

[@bigmallly7863]

Happy Valentines DD. One of my all time favourite tracks. Thank you.

[@DoeDarling]

Happy Valentines! ❤

[@ImjaTse6189]

You are absolutely right. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And you look gorgeous in this video, by the way.

[@Electrohedron]

Thanks for the suggestion. I never played this song for anyone, but I always enjoy playing Queen's music on the piano. Yes, this song is one of the more romantic songs they have; the other songs which come close are either a bit more playful or melancholic.

[@LMTino]

The sweetness of the start gains a kind of scary intensity toward the end. I do think this live version is VERY impassioned while the studio version is incredible and lovely, but a controlled beauty. Try ONE YEAR OF LOVE - a bit of R&B with just Freddie & John. Scorching vocals. You are in good company on that Freddie attraction!

[@loveym8879]

Yes this performance is everything. The song is beautiful but Freddie's vocals and emotion are mesmerizing. Another one that also so beautiful, although never played live, is nevermore. Please react to Nevermore. You will love it. Thanks. Hope everyone had a happy valentine's day.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

OMG YAAAAY!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, DOE💕 I CAN’T tell you how WELCOME this is today🙏🏻 (And I bet you feel more “comfortable” about your Valentines song choice, than the time you reacted to… “Get Down Make Love”😸)

[@DoeDarling]

Hahahaha I was so embarrassed 😳 😂❤

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

BTW Doe, Another ROMANTIC Queen/Freddie song is: “In The Lap Of The Gods” live at… The Rainbow in 1974 (So, you reacted to “In The Lap Of The Gods REVISITED” from the next year at the Odeon Hammersmith. It’s really confusing, but these are actually two completely DIFFERENT songs: Different song structure, different lyrics… Basically, ITLOTG is a Falling In Love song. ITLOTG Revisited is the About To Break Up “sequel”… IMO anyway.) P.S. ITLOTG at The Rainbow ALSO includes… Roger’s Dog Whistle Falsetto! I’m not sure if this is the only performance on video of him doing this live, but it’s rare.🤯

[@DoeDarling]

@@marciebulsaraorcutt thank you for reminding me about that song 🎵

Hi Doe. Hope you & your partner have a fabulous Valentines day. Take my breath away is a fantastic song this performance shows how great Freddie was as a performer think of how many people were stunted to silence listening to it. Amazing.

Freddie, we miss you sooooo much!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@rokmin8550]

this was obviously an intensely emotional song, and no one could have sung this like Freddie. By the way you didn't say anything "wrong", we were all listening and know exactly what you meant. Was it his best vocal? Only you can decide that....have a great day!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Freddy’s best live performance

[@karenbradley6807]

agree with you totally; let's go to the end of the earth to find Freddie... The emotion, clearly he was expressing his deepest heart... I am exactly like you: I am now in love with someone who died in 1991; what is this thing that leads us to absolute love.

Hi Doe, i'm new in your channel, but after this time i liked the way you react to the musics and songs, with love and respect to you

[@AriaMohtadiHaghighi]

Thank you for doing these Queen reactions/analyses. The songs on Queen's "A day at the races" (such as this one) are indeed more intimate and darker then Queen music is usually known to be. Glad to have found your channel. Best wishes from Iran.

[@ludivineformery5627]

I can't believe I discovered this gem only recently. I absolutely love it❤! This is probably the most beautiful love song from Queen and in general. Everything is perfect : his voice, the piano, the lyrics 💖 I feel like it doesn't get enough credit compared to "Love of my life" for e.g . Maybe it's because it's older I don't know Couldn't agree more with everything you said👍🏻 Ps: Happy Valentine's Day
