Hope you enjoy this video! If you do, click like and subscribe!!

The only 2 people on the entire planet who haven’t heard of Radio Gaga

I was 20 years old. I was there that day and it is etched in my memory forever. Without doubt, the best set i've ever seen. Nothing since has come close. Great to see you two enjoying what was the best 30 minutes i've ever experienced

Actually Freddie was a shy introvert, but he was a showman!

Nobody could work a crowd like Freddie Mercury. This was the greatest live performance of all time.

Freddie Mercury was not an extrovert. Only on stage he was but off stage was a shy and introverted man. He was a paradox.

Juliette, you guessed it: Lady Gaga named herself after Queen's song Radio Gaga

QUEEN never broke up ever!!!! His diagnosis was not till 1987. The last album was released 5 years after his death! The whole album but the last verse was Freddie. He sang into a recorder in bed with a keyboard and drum machine. Brian kept writing and Freddie kept singing. It was heart wrenching for the band to put the album out posthumously, but they did. The album is Made in Heaven, it is beautiful.

Another fun fact: Sting said later in an interview that the other bands were sitting below the stage in the common areas and everyone was looking at the screen going "they're doing it. - They're stealing the show.". Mind you, everyone tried that day but it was Queen who walked away with the prize.

The ONLY band in history where all members of the band wrote number 1 hits. That is special.

not one person bought a ticket to see queen in that whole crowd...the show was sold out before queen was added to the show, and they stole the show lol

It was amazing how Freddie could make a cheap pair of jeans, t shirt and Adidas trainers iconic.

"Is that where Lady Gaga's name comes from"? YES.

"When music was created, not produced". Wise words, bro!

I quote another fan: "Queen only accepted the invitation to perform Live Aid bc the guy that orchestrated this from the Boomtown Rats had listed them as having already accepted playing. They finally accepted, and then backstage before this performance, the band was arguing bc they didn't think they'd be relevant in comparison to all the other more "current" singers from 1985. They thought no one would know/like them at that particular concert since they were popular 10 years prior. Then they came out, played a 21 minute set and stole Live Aid. That was the first time anyone had seen a performer command the audience to that level. When Radio Gaga played and the entire audience did the hand clap motions, it wasn't just the audience in Wembley stadium. This was live broadcasted with another concert in Philadelphia (the biggest concert to date at that time as it was live streamed to a ton of countries and had 2 Live Aid concerts going on at the same time. Matter of fact, side note: Phil Collins played on the Wembley stage and then got on a Concord, flew to Philly and played onstage at Philly for the concert), and the entire audience in Philly did the hand clap motion and could be seen via big screen satellite. There were thousands of people who were doing the hand clap motions between the 2 concerts and everyone (including other artists) were in complete awe of the whole experience. It was overwhelming the amount of people who responded to Queen. Also, when Queen took the stage, that's when massive amounts of donations poured in for the cause. 2 billion people saw the concert all over the globe. Biggest audience ever. This was monumental in music history"

This was voted the greatest live performance in Rock & Roll History !

He is not an extrovert by the way, only on stage, but in real life he was quite shy and introverted.

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was written by Freddie as a tribute to Elvis.

Who followed Queen? - it was David Bowie, who allegedly greeted the guys as they walked off stage with "Bastards!!"

This is considered the best live set of all time. And Freddie was sick that day.

You two have no idea what you just watched! That was THE BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FRONT MAN OF ALL TIME!!! That was an historic performance! Bowie came on after Queen and he yelled at Freddy saying, " How the hell am I supposed to follow that?!" That performance was HISTORY!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!! THIS IS QUEEN! Freddie Mercury was the GREATEST frontman EVER! R.I.P. Freddie!

I was fortunate to have been at Live Aid , it was an electric long very hot day Queen being the highlight of course, You made me giggle when you said that it wasn't a great hit at first , it was a massive hit , the song became the 1975 UK Christmas number one, holding the top position for nine whole weeks

Can you please react to Somebody to love live at Montreal 1981, best live performance. The vocals are insane.

Freddie was the Great Pretender. He could be anybody he wanted to be. Although he was an introvert, he could be an extrovert if he wanted to. Although he was very insecure, he could be the FIRST person you think of when you think CONFIDENCE. I love you, Freddie❤️

Freddie’s energy was phenomenal and electrifying!

Dont say he was quite a showman Just say: GREATEST SHOWMAN OF ALL TIME.

One of the best live performances ever. To think they weren't the headliner and this wasn't a Queen audience. Brian May even told Freddie not to do the Day-O crowd interaction because the crowd wouldn't understand it. You can even see Brian May turn his back as Freddie starts to do it.....but like most performances...Freddie had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.

I did watch the broadcast. It was truly amazing. Several artists had great sets, but Queen absolutely ruled that stage.

Best performance!!! NEVER GET TIRED OF FREDDIE OR QUEEN. 💙

Got 5 mins in and started to really question why I’m watching two people’s faces when I could just listen to queen whilst looking in the mirror!!!!!

They had 18 min to do their bits. Queen stole the show. Freddie's Dr told him not to sing as he had a throat infection you sure wouldnt know it. Miss you Freddie

My teens was in the 80'ies. and my first thought back then when I first heard "waiting for the hammer to fall" was NUCKLEARSTRIKE. Yes I was one who grew up "tall and proud in the shadow of the mushroom cloud"

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this, it still sends shivers down my spine! I heard Bohemian Rhapsody the first time it was ever played! It was Freddie who got the audience, he reached out and gathered them in the palm of his hand, he did it wherever he went, didn’t matter if they were there or watching on film or TV! Oh, and something Freddie would have loved, all radio stations had a Queen CD ready for the news of Freddie’s death, each DJ was told to just put the disc on and press the play button, the DJ on the local commercial station in Liverpool, England, duly put the CD in and pressed the play button, the track that came on was “Another One Bites The Dust”!!!

all four had individual hits as well as those they had as a group. The fact they could all be hit makers made the fact that when they worked together they made magic.

I was 16 when Live Aid happened. It's hard to comprehend just how huge it was when compared to our world today, with instant access to content from all over the world; back then we basically had cable TV. A concert broadcast around the world was just an amazing concept for us.

Search Bohemian Rhapsody at Green day concert London Hyde Park. The whole crowd sing Bohemian Rhapsody while waiting for Green day to appear.

I love Queen! I've been a fan of them for 44 years. The music of this band is timeless and connects generations.Greetings from Poland from Krakow :)

ChemicalReactions! - First, they NEVER broke up before Live Aid and just did a massive stadium tour until a couple of months before. That was just for drama. Secondly Freddie wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until 1987 and Live Aid was in 1985. He may have been suffering early symptoms like the sore throat he had at Live Aid. The other stage was in Philadelphia. David Bowie followed them. A lot of BIG names were po'd to have to follow Queen who stole the show at a time when some considered them "has been's". All four had solo projects, not just Freddie. Brian and Roger did solo stuff and John played with other groups. Why is it always ...Brian May, great guitarist? Freddie, great front man. Roger, singing drummer ...BUT....John Deacon is never mentioned. He wrote a lot of their great and biggest selling songs (look it up), was a top rated bassist and was a great dancer (DISCO DEAKY). You talked about tapping your toe. Did you tap it to Brian's guitar solo? Nope. You tap to John's throbbing bass, the backbone of all their songs. Give Deaky some respect. I'm sick of my favorite being ignored. He also was an electrical engineer (Brian wasn't the only one with a degree) who invented the "Deacy" amp which Brian used throughout his career (it had never been duplicated for decades). It allowed him to make the unique vocal and orchestral sounds he did with his guitar.... a major factor in Queen's and Brian's success. Freddie's "arrogance" was his stage persona. People who knew him said he was kind and even a bit shy. I saw them live. They were the best live act I ever saw and I attended a lot of concerts as far back as The Beatles (who were sadly held back by lousy technology in the 60's). Your reaction needs some research.

Most bands thought the 20 minute slot format was only worthy of a kind of token effort. Queen set out to really entertain and planned every second in minute detail. Hence they killed it. Deservedly.

It is sad and insane that Queen never won a Grammy for any of their great songs.

Hey it's Juliette! We all thought she got lost at the Slipknot concert 😂

G.O.A.T. Frontman right here. Whatever 'it' is, Freddy had 'it'

"Brian May can play guitar" John Deacon- AM I A JOKE TO YOU???

What do you mean “ this rings a bell”?! Have y’all been living under a rock?

QUEEN were in a league of their own, no one could compete with them. They were the very definition of "ROCK GODS". They made their mark in the history books and Freddie will live FOREVER!!!!!

An important bit of clarification between what the film showed vs real life: Freddie was NOT diagnosed w HIV until 2 yrs after Live Aid in 1987. And, Live Aid wasn't the band's "swan song", as the film kind of makes it feel: They were actually rejuvenated as-a-group by their awesome performance this day, so decided to do a massive concert tour the following year (1986) playing all giant stadium venues. (During the tour, they were also the FIRST band to play behind the Iron Curtain, in Budapest.) Then, in 1987 (after he received his diagnosis) Freddie pursued a life-long dream of his, to write/sing an operatic performance w soprano Montserrat Caballe, whom he idolized: called Barcelona.

Hi guys I really love your reactions. Since you talked in lenght about Queen and Live Aid after you saw the concert I want to draw your attention to some points😉 1. Queen never broke up, not before Live Aid nor afterwards. They had just completed a huge world tour of the The Works album. They did not tour the US for several reasons. So they were pretty at their game at that point. 2. Freddy was not diagnosed with Aids at the time of Live Aid. He learned about it in 1986 during the Kind Of Magic Tour. The Magic tour was their biggest and last tour, selling out stadiums all over the world. They did not toured the US. 3. Queen were huuuge all over the world throught the 80ies. After The Works album they made 3 more album during Freddys lifetime. All of them sold millions everywhere but not in the US. Their last album Made In Heaven alone sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The Movie Bohemian Rhapsody is quite good, but it states some facts horribly wrong, which is quite annoying when you know the truth. I‘m not a fanboy, I just happend to witness the 80ies as a teenager😀 Nevertheless, great reaction. Thank you.

Freddie was very shy because of his teeth.But when he entered the Stage,his personality changed totally....

justin beaber: Im a singer freddie: Hold my bear

Would you believe, I only knew about Queen two weeks ago and, no, we're not living in the jungle. Now I can't get enough of them and Freddie is my idol. The neighbours hate it when I loudly sing along. R.I.P. Freddie. Gone too soon.

Now you guys need to react to 'Show must go on' by Queen. Recorded only about a month before Freddie's death. Brian May said that Freddie looked really sick at the time (he was really thin) and he was afraid that Freddie could not do the vocals but Freddie really stepped up and literally did a one take on the vocals. He said that he was going to perform write and record until he couldn't stand up any more and the lyrics of the song really describes how his mentality towards music and art was. He was in my opinion one of the purest form of an artist 😊

You both needed to shut up when the ’E oh’ was going on

Lady Ga Ga did take her name from this song. She said in an interview once. Hope that helps. 💓🥰

I'm so glad i grew up in the 80's. So glad today's young generation can appreciate Queen and many others

THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER WHO EVER LIVED! There will NEVER be anyone even close to being a tenth as good as Freddie was!

Freddie wasn't an extrovert he was in fact an introvert but on stage he was the greatest showman of ALL time

greatest 20 minutes in music history

Watch some of their dvd concerts. They present 20+ songs over about 2 hours. Freddie had great stamina, all without back up tapes or autotune; just pure talent for all 4 artists.

What I find incredible is that the event was sold out long before queen where even booked. So no one was actually there to see queen. But, by the end of the performance I doubt anyone there cared who else was on. Queen just dominated. That wasn’t technically the full live aid though. Freddy and Brian returned later in the evening and did an amazing unplugged performance

Queen made crazy little thing called love

Freddie Reaction?...a sure "LIKE" for everything he ever made!...Fan for now 46 Years !!!!...more Queen please!!!!!!!!

Hammer To Fall might be my favorite Queen song. One never hears it mentioned when people talk about Queen, though :(

If you continue listening to Queen, you are not going to want to stop. There never has been a band like theirs. I just attended the Queen Rhapsody Concert (50 years after the band was formed), and although Freddie is long gone, it still rocked the place and we all sang along to everything. Freddie was there as a hologram for part which was wonderful.

To me, this was the greatest moment in rock history. At 52 years old I still get chills when I watch this performance. Do you know of anyone else who could command a crowd of a 100,000 people?

You said "Bohemian Rhapsody" didn't do well for a few years! I beg to differ b/c along with the video they made to go with it ( that, by the way, changed the way music was presented) "Bohemian Rhapsody" became an instant hit and remains an iconic masterpiece.

Freddy was certainly one of a kind. Wish he was still here 😔

There is only one Freddie mercury I love queen

Plz remember; this was NOT a Queen gig, and still Freddie did this with the audiens!:)) Only a true artis could pull this off, and not to forget the rest of the band

thanks Guys, as a Queen fan from the late 70's, I personally get frustrated, when people get facts about the band wrong, now with the Movie out, lots think it's a "documentary" but lots of the story is distorted for dramatic purposes. I don't blame anyone. I'm a bit of a super fan, I've seen EVERYTHING produced on Queen so my trivia on the band is pretty full on. The biggest error was the "breakup" that never happened. Freddie was doing Mr Bad Guy before Live Aid but with the full support of the band, plus Rogers band "The Cross" had a great sound. The best doco for Queen is a 3 volume VHS set (It's that old) called "Queen: Magic Years" which was filmed after the huge Magic tour in '86, after Live Aid, it's the best and most honest "behind the scenes" look at the Band and Freddie with interviews from a bunch of awesome musicians, friends, roadies, crew and just well known fans. I still to this day get emotional when I listen to the "Made in Heaven" album, songs like "The Show Must Go On" feels like Freddie saying goodbye to each one of us true fans. I sometimes feel a bit robbed by losing the greatest frontman in history. Even now, even the best vocalists admit the vocals in Queen songs have to be altered (pitch/key etc) because nobody can replicate his vocals. George got close in Somebody to love, but interviews with artists from the '92 Tribute concert all said they had to change the songs. He will never be forgotten, even if the Movie is not really accurate, I love that Freddie and the boy's are immortalized now in this way. "Not bad for 4 aging Queens". much love Freddie. R.I.P.

Bohemian Rhapsody was Huge upon its release in 1975. A Night at the Opera is their best selling album to date.

I remember watching this live on tv when I was in high school. It was amazing. Queen put on the best performance of the whole event. There were many bands upset they upstaged them so bad. I miss the 80's life was so much more simple then.

Please react to Innuendo and The Show Must Go On by Queen please.

Hammer to fall; "We who grew up tall and proud in the shadow of the mushroom cloud" Yeah, cold war commentary.

They actually never did break up, that was just for the movie.

I was at Live Aid. Queen certainly stole the show. Their performance was more intense than anyone else's. It was revealed later that someone turned off the stadium's volume limiters! It was really loud man!

Freddie's dance in Radio Ga-Ga is just the best!!!

David Bowie followed them on stage apparently as they walked off he said to them you ******** how do I follow that

Queen great band, but Freddy is once in a lifetime 🥰 X Japan - art of life ( the last live version )

Bohemian Rhapsody was a massive hit when it was first released. It spent 9 weeks at Number 1 in the UK, and reached number 1 in six other counties.

"Waiting for the hammer to fall" is a slightly old fashioned English saying, meaning the same as "waiting for the other shoe to drop". It means expectation of consequences or punishment.

I'd second what others have said about listening to Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal, the vocals are mind blowing to say the least.

Yes. Lady Gaga was inspired by Queen and this particular song Ga-ga and became therefore Lady Gaga

Well done to you two. Seeing that young lady experience what I grew up with was phenomenal. Good luck and best wishes to you both

Has anyone ever thrilled an audience like Queen ? Audience were singing along ! Not screaming like you cannot hear the songs !

i was 15 when Freddie passed away. there wasnt a dry eye in my home room. we all found some part of his works that stuck with us.

You should check out George Michael absolutely SLAYING 'Somebody to Love' at the '92 Freddie Mercury tribute concert. If anybody could have replaced Freddie in the band at that time I would have been him.

Since this is a Queen related video, maybe Queen- Princes of the Universe. Queen + Movie Soundtracks = YES PLEASE. Especially when the movie in question is Highlander.

EPIC. I rest my case! ❤

Simply the greatest band ever

You just witnessed the greatest front man to ever perform. Freddy Mercury could hold a crowd in palm of his hand.

Nice reaction, please react to more Queen. May I suggest from the mid 70's White queen live at Hammersmith, The prophet's song,March of the black queen, Stone cold crazy, great king rat, Flick of the wrist, Seven seas of Rye, Death on two legs and from the 1981 Montreal show: somebody to love, dragon attack and bohemian rhapsody.

Freddie we miss you 🌹..but the Legend never die 🌺 R.I.P. 🙏🏻

Watch Brian May use 3 different guitars during "This thing called love"

I love how the dad is into it from the start and his daughter slowly becomes seduced. They both have to know that this is probably the best short live show ever with a front man that will never be equalled.

Your daughter looks board as hell- she misses her phone and snapbook

Did you know Freddie wrote Crazy little thing in the bathtub? He got hold on a guitar, rushed down to the studio and had to record it at once - and it got to be a great hit. One thing for your daughter to think of: Watch the audience. There were ca 70.000 at Wembley, 100.000 at JFK stadium, broadcast all over the world. But this is the footage we have today. No candid cameras, no cellphones, no RU-vid uploads. This was not Queen's ordinary audience. Many of them came for other artists, or just for the good cause. I don't think we will ever have a similar concert today. It wouldn' be possible to deny people to bring their phones ...

Wow I was Juliet's age when I first watched this with my Dad. It hasn't gotten old yet either. This should be shown in every school on earth, just like teaching Shakespeare. The greatest show on earth, stolen by the Greatest Showman of all time.

I would like to request one of my favorite queen songs that no one seems to ever react to or playtime ain't that great but imo one of their best.....Another one bites the dust 🤗. Thank you. Also if y'all can delve into Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Freddie best front man. queen best group. .music will NEVER NEVER GROW OLD. ...QUEEN WILL LIVE ON ....R.I.P ..FREDDIE GOD BLESS. ....
