Reaction - Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever - Live In Budapest July 1986 - Freddie Is Incredible

[@joyceharkin3641]

Everything Freddie sang, he sang with 110% commitment. He was real!

[@melitakazesovic5412]

Queen didn't make songs,they made anthems. Beautiful reaction. Thank you 😊

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

I just love the drum and bass when the guitar "solo" starts... and then i saw you started it there at the end of the video :)

[@Kimellis0]

What a peformance!! What a Man!! , There can only be one Freddie.

[@astraboots]

Check out the official version for the film spectacular.

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Thanks for this great reaction! Freddie's singing is incomparable to other artists', they can have great voices, they can be great singers, but Freddie's charisma and emotions will always be missing from those performances. Quote from Freddie: "Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But they never will be you."

[@dianecourtney2724]

Terrific comment! So true

[@drivingwithtodd1781]

Hi Andrea ... I agree. I had never seen this performance before, but it was captivating and held me breathless. Simply incredible vocals! Enjoy and keep rockin' ... 😎🎸✌

[@hkynuts11]

You mentioned Freddie and his operatic voice. Want more, listen to Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona, from the album Barcelona. It is amazing.

[@Barzo7]

Amazing live performance. Queen have got to be in the top 10 greatest artist / bands of all time.

[@26shedan]

I say top 2-lol

[@humphr1d]

You picked my favorite live performance of this song! 🙂🙂🙂 You out to check out the official video version of this song. Brian and Freddie trade singing lead for different verses. Although Brian does not have Freddie’s power he has a different color to his voice that adds emphasis to the vibe of the song.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Also John’s amazing bass playing Roger’s amazing drumming together with Freddie & Brian perfect band ❤️❤️

[@LMTino]

Spectacular performance -and the Hungarians and other Eastern Europeans in attendance have not forgotten even to this day. There's an element of high drama - never one to choreograph, the spirit moved him that night. It is an emotional moment.

[@samloveslfc]

You should check out Freddie and Montserrat singing The Golden Boy.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE... OR ANYTHING FROM THE BARCELONA ALBUM!

[@debramoore7513]

My favorite off the Barcelona album.

[@gracielahonig]

Oh dear you and Freddie made me cry right now.... Thanks so much for your reaction! I'm a huge QUEEN fan and . makes me so happy reactions like yours... Queen is the G.O.A.T and Freddie is magnificent, fabulous, a truly legend! Big hug my friend! 👑♥️

[@dianecourtney2724]

Just found your channel Todd✌🏼 Thanks for your great reaction to one of the songs that always gives me goosebumps🥰 Just love this version so much!!! 👍

[@drivingwithtodd1781]

Hi Diane ... Thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated! Freddie does such a heart wrenching version of this song in this performance. You can't help but tear up! Keep rockin' ... 😎🎸✌

[@debramoore7513]

Hey Todd love your channel .. still waiting for The Brian May Band live at Brixton Academy performing RESURRECTION/1812 OVERTURE/BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. I can be patient 💟

[@bettybaby63]

Pfffft covers of this song vs Queen live. You made a great choice (not many to chose from unfortunately), this is a great performance. I wouldn’t say Brian wrote it for Freddie, unless you mean for Freddie to sing. I caught an interview of his a couple of years ago where he said as a songwriter, you are giving your songs to someone to sing. And when you have Freddie Mercury sing your songs, you’re pretty damn lucky (paraphrase, obviously lol)

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Awesome and analysis reaction! Since you like the operatic sound you have to check out Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe together. Freddie Mercury was really the first person who did an operatic and pop crossover album alongside Montserrat Caballe. Check out How Can I Go On, Barcelona or Ensueno - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe. If you like the opera cross over genre you will enjoy this music.

[@terrigabriel582]

YEA ! ❤️‍🔥

[@PT9546]

Thanks for reacting to it! Freddie was the greatest and still is! So emotional also! Made me tear up!

[@drivingwithtodd1781]

Hi Pamela ... Thank you and I agree that this version was very emotional. Only Freddie could put that kind of feeling behind the lyrics of this song. Keep rockin' ... 😎🎸✌

[@debramoore7513]

Hurray!! 🥳🥳 This is my favorite live version of this song!! Penned by Brian for the Highlander movie soundtrack .. as you probably know already! Other songs from the soundtrack are worth checking out - GIMME THE PRIZE, ONE YEAR OF LOVE, PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, A KIND OF MAGIC, & DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD. ⚔️🛡⚡️ Welcome back Todd … DRIVEN BY YOU (Brian May).

[@VampEdits]

New to the channel! I'll be here for any and all Queen content you put out.

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🥰 I love queen 👑 new to your channel liked subscribed 😁 please react to more queen songs ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

[@drivingwithtodd1781]

Hi Lisa ... Thank you for liking and subscribing. Much appreciated! More Queen is on the way. Check out my previous Queen reactions. Rock on ... 😎🎸✌

[@jodyheigaard9949]

You REALLY need to listen to the Queen + Adam Lambert Isle of Wight 2014 performance. It will totally blow you away. This is "Freddie's song", but Adam gives him a run for his money.

[@susanengland3919]

This is one of the very few Queen songs that is better in the studio version rather than live, in my humble opinion. He is brilliant here as well, but doesn't reach for some of the high notes doing it live ,

[@drivingwithtodd1781]

Hi Susan ... When I started my channel last year, I always tried to stay true to the original studio version. Lately, I have been getting into live versions which is very unlike me. I am finding some of the changes the bands make in their live performances interesting, especially their body language. I do agree though, I love the studio version of this song. Enjoy and keep rockin' ... 😎🎸✌

[@joyceharkin3641]

I love both - different but each one is brilliant!

[@aeribellal.8806]

This is when Freddy knew he has HIV+ and starting to get sick…. 😢😢😢

[@kellycrook543]

Covers of queen.... a big NO!!! Always do the original when it's queen!!!
