Beyond Crazy!😲 | Queen Full Concert Live Aid 1985 | REACTION

I can't even tell you how many times I have watched this. It never gets old. Each time is pure joy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 💖💖💖😎😎😎

That crowd!! The whole world! All captivated! The GREATEST EVER!

[@sherryheim5504]

Fantastic performance, Freddie really goes all out and considering he had a throat infection and his doctor told him not to sing, he really stepped up his game. He later said that singing on that day felt like he was gargling with shattered glass. I love this show, I always feel like I am right there in the crowd. Thank you for your reaction.

[@missbelled6700]

I don't think anyone on earth ever embodied the spirit of "sexy and I know it" like Freddie. He just seemed so in love with the world when he was on stage, and the world loved him right back. I wish he never had to go.

[@raenellefisher8514]

He was utterly loveable. And beautiful.

[@juttapopp1869]

Freddie was Sex on legs. Incredibly handsome, talented, fun... and hot as hell.

[@normadesmond6017]

o yes, me 2. There are people you still miss, so many years after their death. And Freddie for me is centainly one of them. He was born to be on the world stage. And he was magical. Bless him.

[@douglasbaldwin4584]

Brian May is the guitarist, he is always on the lists for the greatest guitarist of all time

[@emteemac]

Yeah... and he's also a PhD in Astrophysics. So if you need a solid lead guitar, or someone to plan your trip to Alderaan... you know where to go!

[@hookstomper7322]

Plus he has the greatest electric guitar tone of them all: rich like liquid chocolate.

[@nancyblumberg4612]

Brian’s guitar known as,the red special, was Built by Brian and his dad. There wasn’t another guitar like it in the world. Today Brian has collaborated with a guitar company and they make a guitar just like Brian’s.

Perfection. No other words can describe this performance. I watched it in real time and it cemented me as a Queen fan for life. This performance still holds up 30+ years later. Enough said. We love you, Freddie!!

[@beachcomberbob3496]

Notice how Bryan May changed guitar twice during Crazy Little Thing Called Love? He starts on an acoustic, the one electric guitar for the middle break, and another for the outro.

Love Brian May! He is the lead guitarist. He is one of the best their is. IMHO their best album is A NIGHT AT THE OPERA. How can people not get emotional over this? Where's my tissue!!!

So, Biz, I know you love your rock. Queen laid down some killer rock tracks like "Hammer To Fall," & "Tie Your Mother Down." Oh yeah, Queen could rock out.

[@BriRog68]

The guitarist is Brian May...actually Dr Brian May ..he's also an Astrophysicist! The guitar is called Red Special, and was built by Brian and his father as a teenager with basically stuff from around the house..it endures to this day! Roger Taylor on drums..he also provided vocal support for Freddie...as they all did really. They all supported each other. Both Brian and Roger are still making music and touring and are Queen with Adam Lambert now. John Deacon on Bass quit the band shortly after Freddie passed in 1991. He still handles the business issues at times for them. Queen has sustained for over fifty years, and have never broken up. Enjoy your ride down this amazing rabbit hole! Also check out Queen Official on yt to look at some of the amazing solo work of Brian and Roger👍

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

and his vocal support for Freddie was needed at this concert as Freddie chose not to sing all the high notes (laryngitis). No high notes were missing , Roger was there as well.

[@trishc3099]

Actually, now it's SIR Dr. Brian May. 🙃

[@tammyjackson3113]

Freddie died 6 years after this performance, legend Dr. Brian May is on guitar he is an astrophysicist, John Deacon Bass Electronics and Roger Taylor Biilogy, Freddie Graphic Design. All educated, all are in songwriters halk of fame individual, only band to do that.

[@marvalstith2749]

My Saturday afternoon was magnificently improved. Queen is great for my heart. Thanks for taking the time.EDIT 7/25/24 watching again....spectacular experience watching you gradually absorb the brilliance of their team work and fabulous musicality...and Roger Taylor on drums giving solid vocal back-up to Freddie (falsetto it seems), Deaky on Bass all over the stage with his resounding input.and of course Brian's unmatched guitar soloing....each so great and united. Beautiful! Thanks for sure.

[@sab3295]

One of the best things I’ve seen:) glad you watched it too

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Biz - glad you enjoyed it so much! Give it up for Brian May on Guitar (and vocals) - Roger Taylor on drums (and super-high Freddie-backing vocals) - and Mr. John Deacon on the astounding bass.. this was a true band.. not just Freddie w/ some back-up... hope to hear more...

Do as much Queen as you want! I'll be there. I love my Freddie. I remember the famine and was glued to the TV for the concerts. Bittersweet memories with Queen. Sad but happy to watch him strut across the stage! Man, he could sing and like the Pied Piper we could of followed him anywhere, even toward war I suppose. He had that kind of magnetism on stage. Love and miss him. G.O.A.T.

[@kathleenohare8770]

doctor didn't want Freddie to perform due to sore throat

[@lindastodola691]

Brian May is the lead guitarist. As a teen he and his father hand made Brian’s guitar at home. He eventually got his doctorate as an Astrophysicist.

Lead vocals: Freddie Mercury Lead Guitar: Brian May Bass Guitar: John Deacon Drums: Roger Taylor

[@Fairygrl_TW]

They were a phenomenon like magic captured the crowds and took us on a journey that we'll never forget. Loved it back in the day, even tho we didnt have internet or social media, we have lifelong memories of live concerts, outdoor concerts, etc of some of the most amazing bands to ever exist. So I love to see the younger generations give the music a chance and watch them fall in love with great music. Thanks so much for reaction, Peace

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

You have to start with Queen, their debut album, you have to hear what we heard, it was the first time the world heard them. Their follow up, Queen II, is amazing too.

[@MichaelLynch1]

I saw that Live then in 85 on TV , and even now it's still resonates as one of The Greatest Live Performances Ever Ever , it's Monumental and Mesmerising I watch it in Disbelief as how Freddie was a Pure Entertainer and captivated me , that's what he did, you just was drawn to him and his vocals and Performance 💯 Album , got to be "A NIGHT AT THE OPERA" Absolutely Stunning 😍 🎶🎵💯❤️🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JimmyRJump]

Brussels Forrest National 1978. News Of The World tour. A seven ton crown hung above the stage, containing all of the lights and some pyrotehnics. We Will Rock You was being chanted, stomped and clapped and droned all through the arena when the band finally decided to appear. And the seven ton crown fell down. Only for a meter/three feet. But I've never ever seen a band sprint that fast to get off a stage.

[@vickiconley3638]

Wow!

[@JimmyRJump]

@@vickiconley3638 Indeed.

[@susanengland3919]

Even the other acts waiting to perform commented that Queen stole the show. David Bowie was scheduled to go on right after Queen, and he was heard to comment "How am I supposed to follow THAT???" Freddie had laryngitis the week before the concert and was advised by his physician to skip it and rest his throat. He ignored the advice and went on to make history.

[@lenazvi]

It was a fundraising show for the hungry in Africa, so on the stage you can see a map of Africa. Madonna, Elton John and more were there. The Queen's performance was the best in history.

[@peggiebradley7434]

This was such a huge thing when it happened. I watched it and it's a huge moment in my generations history. Saw Queen in the 70's and it was a night to remember.

[@markmyers6472]

If you go back and watch, in front of the stage monitors there is a green, yellow and red light… indicating time left for the set… just as Freddie did his final hand gesture, the light turned red…. They had timed the set PERFECTLY…. Absolute professionals.

[@barbaratucker6434]

Freddie wrote the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" as a tribute to Elvis. Story has it that he wrote it in 10 - 15 minutes in the bathtub. He loved Elvis and you can hear the Elvis sound in the song! I think Elvis and Freddie Mercury are the two best male singers ever!! Love this concert! Great review!

Freddie wrote Crazy Little Thing Called Love as a tribute to Elvis after he died, which is why it sounds like something he would sing. Freddie was a big fan of Elvis.

I have watched this thousands of times No joke! I discovered Freddie Mercury and queen in 2018 after I saw the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and when I saw the live aid performance in the movie, I came home that day and watched the real deal a.k.a. this video and have watched it countless times a day for nearly 4 years. I watch the actual performance and I have watched hundreds and hundreds of reaction videos. I enjoyed yours very much by the way.😊 Just an incredible performance that just makes me feel so good and so happy. This performance was absolute perfection in my eyes. I also have watched their Wembley 86 performance probably just as many times. You need to check that out from beginning to end. It is another epic performance. I seriously could watch this every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. Thank you for the review😊

[@sharonhalliday3180]

There's an encore later that evening: IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED.; just Brian's acustic guitar and Freddie's fabulous vocals. They performed that song at Wembley 1986 as well, and the video is excellent from that entire "MagicTour" concert. Many of the songs from that tour were created for the Highlander movie

[@Sassypaws4927]

The members of Queen are: Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and piano and guitar occasionally Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals and keyboard Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals John Deacon - Bass guitar ( also some lead guitar and keyboards on Queen's studio work, but was the only member never to sing on their records.) During Queen's later tours, the band hired Phillip "Spike" Edney to tour with them to sometimes play the piano so Freddie wouldn't be so tied to it and could perform out front. Spike also would play rhythm guitar and sing background vocals (during Live Aid, Spike is playing the piano during "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"). Some people refer to Spike as the 5th member of Queen, but he was never officially a member of the band, just a hired musician and friend.

[@AnnaMarie66]

True talent & professional! Remember Freddy was ill with a sore throat & performed against his doctors orders & STILL was perfection!! 🥰🎶💪🏻

Brian May on lead guitar (also an astrophysicist). He is actually Dr. Brian May because he has a PHD Roger Taylor on drums (Degree in biology) John Deacon on bass guitar ( Degree in finance) Freddie Mercury - lead singer (Degree in arts and graphic design) They were a very educated band

Time for Grand Funk live Shea stadium .it’s 🔥🔥

[@juttapopp1869]

If you want to react to a full album ( do them all is what you should do, lol), Queen2 and Innuendo are their best work. And as good as Live Aid was, their FULL concerts are even better. 2 Plus hours of magic! Queen never gave less than full measure and then some. The Guitarist is Dr Brian May, astrophysicist in his spare time,the Drummer is Roger Taylor and the Bassist is John Deacon. All three, as well as Freddie, wrote Nr.1 Hits for the Band. Freddie was adamant that he was not their leader, but only the lead singer. Four incredibly gifted and very different people Who needed each other to teach their full potential.

[@gregfloyd2059]

Probably the greatest performance ever

Still considered to be the best live performance ever. I believe it was Elton John or David Bowie who said to Freddie after this performance “thanks Freddie. How is anyone supposed to follow that” throat infection and sick with a deadly disease and the man and the band put on the performance of a lifetime that is still perfection all these years later.
