Queen | Keep Yourself Alive (Live In Houston - 40th Anniversary Edition)| REACTION* 

Leave it to Roger’s Mum!! 🥰

Good job! (Wasn't that gig a daytime thing, like for a lunch event or something?)

I don't think it's confirmed to have been played at that gig.

Angela you nailed it I knew both years, but I didn't know that detail about exact 1st smile performance, but I didn't know date of1st. Gig and on the top of that, that it was thanks to Rodgers mum. I learn something new about queen every day from comments. Thank you Btw have you been to some of them concert? I admire them for what they have achieved and how they music influenced millions maybe billions of people there's so many reasons why I love queen for me they are and always will be the best and many times honestly I cried just listening Freddie songs when he got sick and many people don't know that he was puffy from treatment and got wicker so no concerts. when they did video clip for break thru on moving train make me always laugh. So many things about I love about Freddie. R.I.P Freddie we love you and we are missing you ❤❤🙏🙏 I wish I had a time machine

@@p.p.8022 We were lucky that Queen came to the Chicago Rosemont arena for The Game tour in 1981! I have a picture of the performance in my high school yearbook!

YES!!!

Father to son, son and daughter, ogre battle, seven seas of rhye, stone cold crazy and keep yourself alive are my favourites from live at the rainbow. The Geeeeetar is 🔥

No never performed drunk or hungover they did their partying after the tours/concerts

Freddie did do a few worse for ware a couple of times but considering how many performances they did we can ignore that! He still played the piano perfectly and roger said even if hed had a drink with someone he'd get his act together quickly Roger admitted to being drunk on the official video for who wants to live forever John had too much on stage some times These are a handful of times over 20 odd years nothing really

In the 70s John didn't have a bar on stage or a drinking problem. It started in the 80s.

@@janematthews3394 I didn't mention a date or time. My point, none of them were teetotalers and they enjoyed a drink now and then. They also could be real partyers, especially Roger and Freddie. I think you are right about Deaky's bar and drinking more in the '80s. According to Brian, they were all having relationship problems about that time.

Two of them had problems. John Deacon got married to Veronica in 1975. They have six children and they are still together. That is brilliant. Married for 46 years.👏🏻💐🤩

PERFECT REQUEST. I think the Milton Keynes version of Somebody To Love is better than Montreal ..... tho their both perfect!

@@debramoore7513 both have very very much to offer but overall sound and picture quality goes to Montréal. Intro goes to Milton Keynes, but only marginally.

@@grandtheftmanualv945 I agree with you about Montreal but Queen was on fire at Milton Keynes & the audience knew it!!

Thanks Sherry great information!! I knew KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE was their first but I couldn’t remember dates!

Yes, and this first gig had them mistakenly billed as “Smile”, the former band of Brian, Roger, and Tim Staffell (who left the band). KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE was written by Brian on his Acoustic Guitar while Queen was busy with practices at Imperial College. In 1971 a Demo version was recorded at DeLane Studios with Brian playing Acoustic Guitar. (Not released). As for your other question what instruments they play: Freddie plays piano, harpsicord, and guitar. Brian plays guitar(electric and acoustic), piano, keyboard, ukulele, and harp (he played harp on the studio version of LOVE OF MY LIFE). He also plays “trumpet” sound with his mouth! (React to DREAMER’S BALL Live in Paris). John plays, bass guitar, guitar, piano, and the upright bass (as seen in Official Video Who Wants to Live Forever). Roger plays drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, synthesizer, and ukulele (his first instrument). There may be more, but that’s all I know of. 😊

@@barbaramendoza2202 Awesome!

@@debramoore7513 Haha Thank you! 😊

@@barbaramendoza2202 WOWWW!

Tim was still in Smile in 1970. The last Smile show was in May 1970. During 1969-1970 Freddie was in different bands himself. Also, John didn't join them until 1971 and Freddie graduated from University in 1969.

Freddie was with ibex in 69 then sour milk Its claimed their first gig together was june 70

They Were Unknown By The Public Until Top The Pops With Killer Queen

Details, give um to me

My best friend's brother had gotten her a ticket for the show (her Christmas present) but she didn't want to go alone so she gave me the ticket (we were 16). I went was blown away (we got the fast and regular "WWRY" versions), took some amazing pix (which got stolen years later). Bonus, the security there did security at my school & they got me backstage after the show...only long enough to say a quick hi to everyone & tell them ALL the songs I loved (I had every album)...my friends got me out before any after-show fun happened, lmao. I wish I had gone to more shows but did see Brian on his solo show after Freddie passed.

@@Vixster90803 that’s awesome! Congratulations bro. I wish I could see those pics you took!

Thanks. I wish I still had them (I had a ton of concert pix...not great but good enough). All were stolen in the 90's.

@@Vixster90803 That sucks....Oh well. Hopefully one day you may come by them again

Only Queen fans like myself will get the joke

The Montreal version is not the full version of the song.

They still did gigs as well to earn money 70 and 71 they didn't have studio access until 72 They wrote songs and performed them Dec 71 they helped a studio out and got to make their demo They recorded Brian's songs keep yourself alive and the night comes down and Freddie's liar,great king rat and jesus Roy noticed them and got them involved with trident They then had chance to use the studio but only on off time they didnt complete the album until nov it took another 8 months to get it released

Wow, that's awesome to hear, although this isn't the same tour. Earls Court was at the EU leg of the Races tour, Houston was on the NA leg of the NotW tour. Did you see them on the first or the second night? Also, do you have any photos, videos or audio recordings from that show?

@@logexpTommy 2nd day. No pics, but I do have the souvenir programme.
