QUEEN - LIVE AID ~ FULL SET REACTION 👑 

Hang onto things that make you smile. Freddie has been making me smile for decades. ❤️

I was 12 watching this on tv in '85. My smile back then, watching queen was as big as your gorgeous smile, watching them ! Epic performance! Fantastic reaction x

There's nobody comes close to Freddie as a front man

The entire band killed it that day. Brian May has said that the band helped but this was really Freddie’s day……what a performance!!! I never tire of watching this legendary performance!! For some early Queen, please react to White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 and Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.

Lady GA GA was a fan of Queen and took her name from the song RADIO GA GA

Freddie and Brian performed one more song later at the end of the concert. Is This The World We Created. It' s a beautiful song with deep lyrics . More relevant today than ever before

I just found your channel and I get so excited seeing young people discover Queen I am working my way through the Queen playlist and enjoying your reactions and looking forward to some Queen notifications. I have some suggestions: Bohemian Rhapsody Official video Save Me - Live Under Pressure - At Wembley Love of My Life live in Montreal and Rock in Rio (Freddie sings the song in Montreal, but in Rio, the crowd sings the majority of it back to him - it’s amazing!) You Take My Breath Away The Show Must Go On - One of his last recordings Don’t Stop Me Now Another One Bites The Dust

Fastest 20 minutes EVER!

The two camera men on Freddie's side Bob Wilson and a Alistair Mitchell holding the wires died around the same time Freddie did. As did one of the two men on the other side.. A legendary concert...because Queen and Freddie took it to another level and rehearsed for days before... whereas the other bands etc just did around 3 songs. Bob Geldof said this is exactly what he wanted and Queen delivered!!. Voted best live concert by the way. They had around 17 minutes or so per set, hence some songs were shortened. Freddie was so funny, full of humour and was a fantastic performer on the stage. Crazy little thing was written by Freddie in the bath in 10 minutes.. it was written with Elvis in mind...

All the biggest bands of the day performed at Live Aid. There were two concerts held simultaneously in London and Philadelphia to raise money for the Ethiopian famine. Each band got a 20 minute time slot and if you went over they turned your sound off. Many bands turned up with the attitude that since they weren’t being paid for it, it didn’t matter what sort of performance they gave. Led Zeppelin were terrible, and it pains me to say so because I love them. By contrast Queen practiced for two weeks before with alarm clocks all around, they condensed and increased the tempo so they could fit in as many of their hits as possible. They were thoroughly prepared and it showed. Someone said when Queen took the stage everyone backstage reacted as if a dog whistle had gone off. They all stopped what they were doing because they knew Queen had killed it. David Bowie went on after them and said “You bastards. How am I supposed to follow that? I always think it’s a shame they didn’t perform Under Pressure together, what a great opportunity. Freddie was the best front man ever. His fans would have walked over hot coals for him

You should jump back to the 70s pls, listen to the White Queen at Hammersmith 75. That performance proves again their legendary collaboration.

This is the best live concert video I've ever seen !!! Queen is the legendary band !!!

Check out Wembley, Queen doing medley:LAP OF THE GODS/SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE/TEAR IT UP.....

😁 Freddie always knew how to work a crowd! Glad to be worked over by Freddie everything they played the Tri-State area! 🤗 No problem travelling for a Queen show! 🐰

Oh man can't believe you hadn't heard this before, glad you got to experience it! Great selections lately, killing it!! 🙌

Two songs in and THEN Freddy properly addresses the audience with "AAyooo!"

OKAY OKAY - You had me at LIVE AID … ✅ ❎ 🟢 This charity event to raise money for the famine in Africa was viewed all over the world! Top artists of that time donated their time & money to raise awareness for the famine. Queen wasn’t on the early artists’ list so the audience wasn’t sure that Queen was even going to perform. So you can imagine the ROAR when Queen took to the stage!! Each artist was given 20 min & nothing more OR their power would be shut off. What makes Queen’s performance so amazing is that they fit 6 songs into their 20 min set while other artists did only 2-3 songs!🎶🎶 Freddie was cautioned not to perform by his Dr. due to throat nodules & as you can see Freddie was the ultimate performer!! This performance went down in history as the single best performance by a rock band considering the circumstances. Roger commented that it was Freddie’s day to shine! And boy did he!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤

Another great choice and another great reaction. Your reactions remind me how lucky I was to grow up listening to these bands. Also, you have some very cool t shirts 😁😁😁

The majority of these artists performed at either Wembley Stadium in London, where a crowd of 70,000 turned out, or at Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium, where 100,000 watched. Thirteen satellites beamed a live television broadcast of the event to more than one billion viewers in 110 countries. More than 40 of these nations held telethons for African famine relief during the broadcast.

This song is where lady gaga gets her name from brother!there will never be another Freddie 💛💛💛

😁 Entire Queen concert, including Bobbies introducing them from something Bob Geldorf (Pink in The Wall Movie & BoomTown Rats lead singer) pulled together with his friends! 😍 Heart you for doing this! 😘🐰 #ENEGYZRBunny

NOBODY struts a stage like Freddie, the Persian peacock, lol. Live Aid is ok, but their REAL concerts are even better

There on Wembley 72.000, in Philadelphia 94.000, 1.9 billion tv-views. Freddie Mercury vokal, piano, John Deacon ( Deacy ) bass, Roger Taylor drummer back vokal, Brian May guitar back vokal…….omg I wisch I had been there, great reaction 👑🎤🎹🥁🪕🎸

I love this concert!!! Thank you. The band was just the four of them, Freddie, Brian, John and Roger but Spike Edney was on keyboards during Crazy Little Thing since Freddie was on guitar. After Freddie died, John retired and now those other people are part of the current line up for concerts.

To the host of this channel. I feel every vibe you do when It comes to Queen and Freddie Mercury. I switch my eyes from the video you are playing to the look on your face.. Shivers run down my spine! I grew up with Queen here in the UK and remember their first performance with "Killer Queen" and then Bohemian Rhapsody and so on and on.. You were not even born then I guess but every six months or so there was something new from Queen and their list of songs grew and grew.. Freddie could sing so spine chilling and the band It self was so spine chilling with the music they wrote and you know? they wrote for everybody and their music was situational.. Whatever was going on in peoples live, good or bad, they wrote for it. I love the way you react to Queen, Freddie etc and as a youngster yourself makes me personally proud that someone like you at your age loves what I have loved all my life. Thank you!

That homage to Elvis was great in “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” was great!

Great choice brother 🥰👑❤️💗🌞😍🌟😎💞🍀🤤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️🕊️👏

Lady Ga Ga got her name from the Queen song radio Ga Ga also there was 80.000 fans at the stadium and 1.5 billion watched this concert on tv love from a new subscriber in Toronto Canada

And that's what you call music.

Proper reaction, you clearly felt it was over too soon, many who were there or just watched it on TV (like me), 'that was the shortest 20 minutes of my life'. You also fell for the musical build-up while Freddie lifted the guitar by the neck, assuming he was going to smash it.

The other ones you read off (Doug Bougie, Mike Grose, etc.) where short- term bassists (for only 1-3 gigs at most) before the band met and snatched up John Deacon. - I have heard the went through anywhere from 3 to 7 bassists in the less-than-one year that Queen existed as a new group before meeting John in early 1971.

Radio Ga-ga is a Roger Taylor song. It was originally Radio Ca-ca, which was something Roger's 3-year-old son said. He's half-french and ca-ca is poop or shit in French. They weren't sure they'd get away with it so changed the title to ga-ga. Occasionally, it sounds as if they're singing ca-ca.

Freddie, roger taylor, john deacon, brian may

The LEGEND THAT WAS Freddie Mercury.... Just SO GREAT Did you know that Lady GaGa. Took her name from Radio Gaga....?

QUEEN FOREVER

I want to see you react to studio versions of The Prophet's Song (longer & prog ish) and Death On Two Legs (short & intense). AFTER you get your headphones, which you WILL DO! ;) Both are awesome Queen tunes.

Wasn’t the kiss at the camera at 3:39 for his mom or something? Also, 72,000 people at the Wembley concert where Queen performed. 89,484 at the one in Philadelphia.

Freddie absolutely owned that day.

Make sure you watch Bohemian Rhapsody the movie where Rami Malik plays Freddy.. it tells his story.. stunning movie.

There normal concerts last close to 3 hours …. And they kept the exact same energy from the first song to the last! There will never be another Freddie…. Or Queen… they still are touring to sold out stadiums with Adam Lampart as the singer…. (I don’t know if they still play that long now). They just opened the concert for Queen Elizabeth’ Platinum Jubilee last weekend …

More Queen please

They stole the show hands down

That's where lady gaga got her name. She loved queen

Can you imagine having to follow Queen in that lineup? Bowie was the lucky one who got that slot! 🤩

🤩 Hammer to Fall & Radio Gaga has got to be 2 of my all time favorites & never got "the play" other Classics did! Always thought Hammer was a cool Rally song but not as "catchy" as Champions or We Will Rock You. 🐰

Freddie had sore throat and Dr didn't want him to perform

Great reaction. Lady Gaga took her name from the song radio gag. The lyrics are both prescient, & nostalgic. It highlights how music radio was central to our lives growing up & the upcoming influence of MTV. *yikes typo…radio Gaga

I watched that live 😊 Queen where one of 75 bands and solo performers, the concert was 16 hours long..😳 it was even live on the TV.. 🙄 Queen closed the show down though 😊😊😊

Of course you need to know who Status Quo are to get the joke from Mel Smith & Griff Rhys Jones (dressed as policement).

Live Aid in Philly, yeah 🔥🔥💯

That was great! You must be exhausted. Each song was written by Queen. Yes, Legends all! Edit: Neat you read names of Queen members. Of course by now you know the list included some former members. Freddie Mercury is the only Queen member who has died ... and now I'm crying. Good night.

It wasn't a Queen concert.....which is why they only played 20 minutes or so. There were like 20 bands that day who played for charity. Each band got a short time slot. If you see an entire Queen concert, it would have been 2 or 3 hours.

Fastest 20 min huh?! Check out wembley concert

Great reaction to what is said to be the greatest show in rock history. The half mic stand came about by chance. When first performing with the band, Freddie tried to remove the mic but the stand broke and he kept it in the act. When he turns his a*s to the audience, he does it as a sign of disrespect and disgust towards their former management, Trident. Listen to the song, “Death on Two Legs”. Because of Trident, after having recorded 7 albums and toured extensively, QUEEN WERE BROKE! The band was told, “don’t break any guitar strings nor drum sticks. You can’t afford it.” Trident refused to give John a small deposit to buy a house, nor the money for Freddie to buy his piano while management were driving around in brand new limos! Their excuse was they were investing every possible profit into QUEEN. Fascinating the superstardom they achieved after so many false starts and dashed hopes at the very beginning. Freddie was instrumental in getting the others to focus on the fact they were not like other bands, they were so much better. Queen refused be pigeon-holed, only repeating styles of their past albums. They saw redundancy as a complete waste of time. He got them to realize they were going to become the best band in the world. Mission accomplished.

Freddie, the master…….

And let's not forget the man had a throat infection..I watched this live on TV and felt sorry for whoever came on after lol

This was an all day concert to raise money for the horrible famine in Africa. Each band was given exactly 20 minutes to perform. If they ran over, the sound was cut off. Freddie insisted that they rehearse for 2 weeks to be able to do as many of their hits as possible in the 20 minutes alloted to them. They timed every move to perfection.... including Freddie's "pose" after Radio GaGa and his call-out with the audience. You will have noticed that they shortened We Will Rock You. There were lights at the front of the stage for the bands to see. When the yellow caution light came on they had a few minutes left (I forget how many minutes that was... maybe 3 or 4?). Watch the end of We Are The Champions again. Just as Freddie puts his arm up to signal the last beat of the song, look down at the front of the stage facing the band and you will see the right light come on. They nailed the timing!!!! Every member of Queen is an extraordinary musician, songwriter and professional. They all always gave 100%... and .... each member of the band had written a number 1 hit song. They were also highly intelligent and well educated. Freddie had a degree in graphic design, RogerTaylor had studied dentistry but switched to a degree in biology, John Deacon was an electronics whiz and had a degree in electronics and Brian May studied astonomy and in 2008 finished his PhD in astrophysics. And amazing group of 4.......... R.I.P. dear Freddie. The greatest front man in rock history and a musical genius......... If you want to appreciate ...... even more.....this 20 minute Queen performance at Live Aid, I strongly suggest that you watch this video..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dx1zvc8Pa0Y.html

He had a throat infection he went against Dr's orders to be there he said his throat felt like he was gargling with crushed glass while singing

❤️❤️❤️

Radio Ga-ga

Radio Gaga came about due to Roger Taylors (the drummer) kid listening to the radio and Roger heard him say "Radio KaKa" (Kaka basically means "shit") So Roger wrote the song based on that

There were 72,000 people there

How many people there ? 72,000 @ Wembley, UK 90,000 @ Philadelphia, USA Linked by live satellite and beamed to estimated 1.5 to 1.9 billion worldwide (depending on which figures you believe) The first time ever this had been attempted. Queen was without doubt the standout set of entire day … they chose the songs, practised solidly for a week and filled every moment of the allocated 20 mins per band/performer. Far too many performers just turned up and played 2-3 of their songs and it really showed the different level of respect that Queen had for their audience compared to others. But then 70,000 in their direct audience was a normal size for Queen who played major stadiums as standard and much bigger like Rio (250,000 to 350,000 again, depending on who you believe!) I remember this day so clearly but then I was early twenties!!! 👑❣️👑❣️👑

This concert was sold out before Queen was announced to be there.

So sorry and sad for you to see the video color is washed out on this reaction. Will be back for more Queen!

Microphone in one hand crowd in the other.

He's joking. It was the Live Aid concert. I've never known for sure if they were real bobbies or not.

Lady Ga-ga took her name from this song!

US. don't often get the dry humor of this English popular comedian pair just as they had trouble with I Want to Break Free Queen, video kind of a shame se BBC UK some time:)

Love it but still prefer Queen live at Wembley.

Where do you think Lady Gaga got her name?????

How sad...it feels like you’re sneering at the performance...shame it’s such poor quality..maybe you could improve it?..it’s perfectly fine on other channels
