Mr High Notes is Roger Taylor the drummer. In his prime, he could go higher than Freddie. He did the high falsetto "Galileo's" in Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@Jeeazz2012]

Freddie could go pretty high himself, but your right Roger did alot of what Freddie called dog whistle notes 🙂

[@BenBallard13]

Did you know that Roger Taylor is the only living person to be on a Royal Mail stamp (excluding the real Queen). When they did a Freddie Mercury tribute stamp, there's one of him in his classic pose on stage, behind him is the drumkit, if you look hard enough - you can just about make out Roger Taylor playing it!

There has never been a live band like Queen - one of the best live bands ever (along with the likes of The Who). Freddie was both a master showman and great vocalist. The rest of the band built the solid support that he could use for the songs. A tight, passionate unit.

[@cloudyazurephoenix9931]

You should react to Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985. It’s one of my “if I had a time machine” moments, it’s brilliant!

[@lajoyous1568]

That's one moment that I'll always remember. Even though I was only watching it on the TV in the living room. I kept trying to get my family to understand how huge the moment was, but they didn't get it.

[@BenBallard13]

Totally agree with you. Unfortunately I was too young (and our family too broke) to go to a Queen gig. I really wish I could have done. I watched it on TV though, 14 at the time - it was definitely one of those "you'll always remember where you were when...." moments. Like the moon landing, the assassination of JFK and MLK and the 911 catastrophe.

[@yvonnesmith1297]

Yes definitely recommend their Live Aid performance. What people who weren't around at the time don't realise is that as well as the concert at Wembley Stadium there was a US concert in Philadelphia at the same time and they played the concerts on big screens at both venues plus screened the whole thing live around the world including here in New Zealand where we watched it live. One of the biggest music moments in history. Each band/artist had 20 minutes each to do a set and they had 3 revolving stages at Wembley so they could have one setting up, one performing and one packing out at the same time. We'll worth a watch. Incidentally there's a great and hilarious two part documentary on KZbin on getting Live Aid on focused around Bob Geldof who organised the whole thing.

[@nancyhelpinstill1834]

Yes, yes, yes!! Live Aid - entire performance! Best ever!

[@nancyhelpinstill1834]

[@1031irishqueen]

Absolutely true!

[@SealedKiller]

That legit doesn't happen lol

[@SealedKiller]

What really happens is, Brian walks back to his amps like he does most of the time during the whole show. He also most likely did a quick tune up. If you actually look at the video carefully you'll see he never swaps guitars, it's still his Red Special, so no, he didn't break any string.

[@MizCriz46]

@@SealedKiller Never heard that he broke a string but something did go wrong. I read a comment by someone who was there. If you watch carefully you see that Freddie turns on the piano bench toward Brian. You hear Brian play one note but then, just before the camera cuts away, you see him unplug his guitar. As Freddie comes to the front of the stage he's looking at Brian heading back to what, I've read, was the guitar technician. Freddie starts working the crowd & looks back again to see Brian coming back to the front.

[@benjaminconrad3674]

​@@MizCriz46there cannot be something wrong when he went more backstage, cause he never stops playing notes, I think it's just their usual change of who is in front of stage like they do with light for Roger

[@DB-zp9un]

With his doctorate.. And knighted..

[@NHPackerfan2]

Queen was primary for several years - after May dropped out of school. He returned later for his doctorate. AND was an administrator where he was also teaching. AND published a book aimed at accessible explanations of complex scientific principles. AND put out a #1 solo album last year. Did you know? Brian and his dad built his fabulous red guitar in the pre-Queen years. His solo section in Bohemian Rhapsody is considered by many as the best guitar riff ever.

[@samleigh7817]

His and Freddie’s theory that “Fat Bottomed Girls “ make the world go round has yet to be disproved.😊

[@ClearTheRubble7]

He's an astrophysicist in real life and on the guitar. 🎸

[@imweakfordeaky]

@@NHPackerfan2 Dr Sir Brian Harold May is *also* an acknowledged and highly respected expert in (and historian of) stereoscopic photography. He has published multiple books on the subject, including “Queen in 3D” using his own stereo photos of the life of the band. Nowadays he melds his love of astrophysics AND stereoscopic photography , assisting NASA in creating stereo-3D images compiled from the raw images captured on space missions (in collaboration with his long-time friend and fellow stereographer Claudia Manzoni) .

The talent of each member is incredible. They must be from another planet. 😂 Love them.

[@khills]

And Brian has a DOCTORATE in astrophysics - that he uses! He was just part of a NASA mission last year. Like… can you even imagine that kind of talent? “Sure, I’m gonna get one of the hardest doctorates in the world… be about two years from finishing it and then hit pause for THIRTY YEARS, and then go back and finish it at 58”?! I mean, he got lucky that no one studied or cared about what he was researching for all but like four years he was gone, but still. I can barely remember how to use the geometry I learned in high school, and he’s finishing a PhD on “radial velocity using absorption spectroscopy and doppler spectroscopy of zodiacal light using a Fabry-Pérot interferometer” like he’s just take a pause to walk around the park. Absolutely amazing.

I managed to live into my seventies before encountering Queen - well, as Queen. Soo many of their pieces have become part of our personal , sometimes without our even noticing. We Will Rock You; We Are the Champions; Under Pressure, esp the opening guitar; Another One Bites the Dust. Queen could do anything. Drove the critics mad, but I like their freedom to do just that. Suggestion: IMHO Radio GaGa is seriously underestimated; it’s great social commentary.

Each act was only allowed a 20 minute set after which the sound would be cut. Queen stole the show! David Bowie followed Queen in the line up. As Queen left the stage Freddie passed by Bowie who stopped him saying, “You Bas$@rds! How am I supposed to follow that!?” The performance is considered the best live set to this day! 🎼🎶🎵🎶🎤🎸🥁🎸👏👏👏

In ‘81 at CNE Stadium in Toronto, Ontario my 16 year old self had what I realized later was a very lucky summer that made lifetime memories. I saw Queen and The Who live, I loved them both and still do. Both were incredible live, both brilliant innovators who changed music & made history but the simple truth is there will never, ever be another Freddie Mercury. He’s a triple threat never to be repeated; songwriting & musical genius surrounded by three other musical geniuses, what are the odds; the best male voice ever (argue if you want but the range & depth cannot be equaled) all in the body of the best frontman in music. That will never be topped either, no one commanded an audience like Freddie, not before, not during and not since. He had a natural magic on stage that you can’t learn or copy. He never performed a song the exact same way twice, he never failed to connect with every single person in the audience and no one but Freddie could effortlessly take complete command of an entire audience (70,000+) and make them do as he wished without even seeming to ask. No where is this demonstrated better than the performance I’d love to see your reaction to, Under Pressure at Wembley Stadium - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfdp6KGhZuAa5Isi=KrUo4rer5tpdPrpO. Queen & David Bowie collaborated (that’s quite a story too) on this timeless masterpiece but never had a chance to perform it live before Freddie passed away. Here he sings most of both their parts and is assisted by the great Roger Taylor who also seems effortless executing the complex drumming which drives the song while also taking over Bowie’s part in the harmonies. Magic every time I see it.

I’ve just about given up listening to people critique Queen (except for Amy on Virgin Rock), but you got it….you understood this song and performance from beginning to end. I’ve been listening to Queen since 1974 and have been to 2 concerts. You are the first person I’ve heard (other than myself) use the word PASSION to describe Freddie’s singing and the band’s playing. You might be too young to know the singer Aretha Franklin? She was an American soul singer and one of Freddie’s inspirations. This song was a silent dedication to her. Knox, you’ve made this 70 yr old rocker chick smile today. You should research about the 4 members of Queen. I think you’d find their lives are not your typical rock band people. I hope to see you do more Queen critiques in the near future ♥️ 🤘🏻

Your reactions keep me smiling. I can't express how much these videos make my day, especially when I am in the hospital, your videos make me smile. Thank you for that. I love your insight, and energy.

Queen, a completely united entertainment package built on their genius musical abilities and determination to exceed expectations. Freddie Mercury , lead singer extraordinaire. Thus, they don’t miss.

[@melissakozusko9244]

This reaction made my night. This is one of my very favorite live performances from any band, ever. Please do more!

[@celticpoet21]

Fantastic! Queen transcends everything imaginable: time, genre, subject matter in lyrics, you name it! Aside from beer and water, Freddie also had cups of hot lemon honey drinks to soothe his vocal cords because, though they made it look like a walk in the park, their music is NOT easy to sing. Definitely keep exploring their work, especially their early concerts i.e live at the rainbow '74 or Odeon Hammersmith '75. They were destined for greatness from the get-go! Roger Taylor and Dr. Sir Brian May (he was knighted last year) both have great singing voices and sing lead vocals on several tracks. Roger in particular had, what Freddie teasingly referred to as "the dog whistle pitch".

I have loved Queen since 1976. I saw them twice at the Inglewood (LA) Forum in 1978 & 1980. I've seen a lot of bands come through town, but no band put on a show like Queen. Freddie and the boys were simply the best. They loved their audience and we loved them!

It's always great to see people experience this performance for the first time.

[@helenajrgensen3157]

Please Knox - for you and for us; Live Aid , 1985! Its a little bit longer (20 minuts) But its amazing!

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

Have you already watch Queen's 'Save Me' live performance at Montreal? IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST! And Freddie's soft voice is just full of emotions, love it! Listen to the lyrics as well.

[@pattykim5422]

Possibly the best live performance I've ever seen. All of them are true musicians.

[@cliffordsmith8230]

I’m really glad ur starting to branch out in other genres Knox. There’s so many great artist, singers and groups that u might not think u’d like because it’s not a genre u would normally listen to and I hope u start diving into it. That’s one reason why EM’ is so great, he actually listens and knows so much about other genres and artist.

[@bettybaby63]

So good. They never went out unprepared & they were so in tune with each other & the audience.

[@GreatestFrontman]

They are truly the greatest band of all time formed by 4 absolute amazing musical geniuses. Btw, Freddie was all about creating beautiful harmonies. In their early days, Freddie noticed the potentials while he was listening to Roger and Brian’s voices during their Smile band singing shows when they were all still college students. Later, the Queen band members said Freddie knew exactly how each harmony should sound and he was so good at directing each member how to harmonize vocals, etc.. And because of Freddie’s extraordinary creative abilities, and his incredible musical talent, they were able to make the wonderful timeless music such as this one. Freddie is music, music is Freddie, and he is so missed… 🎶🔥🎤👑👑🎵

[@catherinedudley-fr3re]

Loved your reaction! I highly suggest reacting to the official video of this song. I think you’d love it, it really shows how beautifully the band harmonizes together and has vocal overlays. Others have mentioned reacting to live aid, I think you’d like that a lot as well.

[@ImjaTse6189]

Man, this was by far the best reaction video I have ever seen. And I have watched hundreds of reaction videos because it is my guilty pleasure watching the younger generations being shocked by this performance. But you really tried to understand all the emotions and the drama behind the lyrics. Thank you, it was fantastic.

[@ronny-ratamp2923]

Wow Knox! Really Appreciate this one! Thank you💎👈
