Hi, I’m Jamie M and I want to thank you so much for playing my requests. You have a great channel and great appreciation of good music. I don’t adhere to one genre, just like good music for the sake of good music! I’m old enough to have seen Queen with Freddie in concert at least a dozen times and at the time it felt life altering! Queen are my all time favorite band! Thank you, I am really enjoying your channel!

4 guys who could write, play, sing and entertain… John Deacon on bass vastly underrated, Brian May simply a guitar god, Roger Taylor one the best drummers who could sing too and then Freddie leading us all, including the audience. No synths until BoRap. Saw Queen many times in 70’s & 80’s, always a brilliant show that left you wanting more.

Also my favorite. I always tell ppl it makes me sad that rock isn't here no more besides the old music that still gets played on the oldie rock station. I don't understand what happened to rock. It just kind of faded with the 90s. But I agree best Era of music ever

Right -- Freddie was recorded as saying once that he was fortunate to be ina band with two of the best singers in the world (or words to that effect). He was referring to Roger (who has remarkable command of the upper range and a great falsetto) and Brian, who has a very decent rock voice. Both have forged strong solo careers outside of Queen. John never sang on any Queen studio album but did very occasionally contribute to backing vocals live (but really shouldn't have!). Hw was very capable on bass but his stand-out talent and contribution to Queen was his brilliant songwriting, with most of his songs that were recorded on Queen albums going on to be hit singles.

He wanted to work with her , but she didn't reach out to him. He ŕecorded & performed with one o f his other favorites. Montserrat Caballet, the great opera singer. In 1987-88.

The most prominent backup vocal you hear is provided by the drummer, Roger Taylor, which you will see singing by himself toward the end of the performance. He's got a fantastic voice, as does Brian May, but Roger's voice is pretty amazing. He has a very high falsetto that you really hear in Bohemian Rhapsody but also has a great raspy rock voice. The "call and response" section that sounds like gospel is because Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha Franklin and her style of music. The original official video is pretty amazing too!

I read it was good for Freddie's voice too. They had been on a tour and Freddie had problems with vocal cords or something.Doctors had advised him not to sing.The vocal warming up with the audience-who didn't come to see queen because it wasn´t known Queen would perform that day-was also a break for Freddie's voice.And exercises like this is good for the singers voice.

There has been no one else in the music world whose death affected me so much, I think that is because he always seemed so perfectly in the moment and intensely alive. It seemed impossible for that to be gone. It made us all feel more alive with him. I am always glad his performances have been kept available, while sometimes the world around him seems to have dated Queen hasn’t seemed a part of that. I was only reading a couple of days ago about how much he was loved, by so many who knew him well, and how much he loved them too. Thinking back he did so much for diversity too, he crossed so many barriers, in fact he just lifted them as if they never existed, because he was so amazingly talented that very few could resist him!

Another outstanding live performance by Queen is "White Queen" live at Odeon, Hammersmith 12/24/1975, you should check it out for yourself or as a reaction if you so choose.

No auto tune, no tricks, just raw talent... this whole concert is amazing. but so is the Magic Tour concert at Wembley 1986...in fact, I've yet to see a bad live performance from Queen. They have some pretty amazing music videos as well. They do every genre from rockabilly to metal to opera. Definitely something for everyone.

Yes- they wen't on in the studio producing records - but without promotional tours it was vital to make videos. There are many.

Amazing song, mind-bindingly good live performance by 4 legends. All master musicians, Freddie beyond words in so many ways, Brian May such an awesome lead guitarist whose solo's are epic, Roger Taylor brilliant drummer and John Deacon a great, but underrated bass guitarist. We were blessed to have these guys. RIP Freddie - his old house in London and subsequently Mary's home after Freddy bequeathed it to her in his will, is up for sale currently if anyone has a spare $20 million or so.

Thanks for the great reaction! This whole concert was great! It was filmed over two nights and the band, mostly Freddie, was not happy with the film crew. He purposely switched out costumes to ensure songs could not the spliced. One of my favorite deep dives from this concert is “Save Me”. You will see Sir Brian May start on the piano and then switch to guitar and Freddie then takes over piano duties. It is a fantastic performance!

After Live Aid .. this is epic!!! Freddie broke his microphone stand once.. and loved how he played with it... so from then on... He used a stand like that... like playing a guitar... etc.

That is Freddie in his glorious four octave range, Roger Taylor's backup vocals are also incredible. I was fortunate enough to see them perform at Live Aid in London on 13JUL85 and I will never forget that experience.......I am looking forward to seeing Queen w/ Adam Lambert in Toronto on Oct 8th this year. Love, love, love their music!

Adam Lambert is an exceptional choice for a new front man. He’s got the talent, charisma, vocal range, and passion to make it work. He’s not Freddie, but he’ll deliver!

I’m 76, I wasn’t that young at their peak, but my friends and I loved Queen, Freddies early death from AIDS was tragic. His life was too short, but he packed a lot into it. Freddie was an inspiration, but Queen still around, still incredible performers. Such is life.

I know everyone recommends the awesome Live Aid concert, but for me you can't really beat Wembley, particularly the Saturday version. All the iconic songs, Freddie's great eeh oh with the audience, not forgetting Brian's virtuoso guitar solo from Brighton Rock... plus the " revisited" version of In The Lap of the Gods. If you're going to react to Live Aid, though, please make sure it's the version that doesn't cut the ending! Oh, and I should also mention Freddie's operatic turns with Montserrat Caballe. You really will see how versatile he was.

These songs from the sixties, seventies, eighties were all sung with minimum technology, if any. This gives a special sound which as an "old" lady of 75, I adore. I have a great collection of LPs, some Mono, some Stereo - even the Monos don't "crackle and squeak", but really give you the feeling you are really in a concert. CDs are cold and too "perfect". Thank heavens LPs are coming back again......

👏👏👏 Great reaction to a beautiful song, thanks. This is one of the greatest live performances ever. Freddie was an absolutely untrained singer, but he could sing anything from metal to opera (it's not a joke). By listening to Aretha Franklin's records he taught himself the phrasing, by admiring to Jimi Hendrix he taught hismelf to play the guitar, he was a very gifted self made man who had been always craving for The Love and for an ongoing, long lasting relationship. Finally he found it on the side of Jim Hutton.
