@@nostalgia815 cold beer for your vocal cords.... while in concert ... also fizzy drink while you sing....... whatever you sa man......hahahahaahhahaha
@@nostalgia815 thats the thing I did and even Brian May said it was not beer . He has a channel where he repeated that It was warm water and honney to keep his vc clean.....
He is the Rock god of all time. His music is universal. The music will continue to be on top. The guitarist Brian May made that guitar out of parts that he and his dad could find. He still plays it today our tour with Adam Lambert.
I was crying like a baby ,the crowd was so exited ! The sound was loud but Freddie was a real master ...and what an ambiance we had ,it was surreal !!! the best time of my life !! :-) I felt so, so blessed !!!
Unsurpassable! Freddie's fist-smash on the piano at the end was better than any attempt I ever made to play - total love, and yet so very barely has the magic of Queen been scratched.
Watching Marc's face was the best. Stumbling on these 'appreciating Queen' videos warms my heart. Inevitably with one song, they earn a new fan. They were/are that good.
Fun fact: Superman wears a Freddie Mercury tank top. Freddie was a great fan and admirer of Aretha Franklin and it shows in this performance. It's like he's testifying in church. Some Queen I recommend beyond Bohemian Rhapsody: Liar, Death on Two Legs, Flick of the Wrist, Tear It Up, Spread Your Wings, We Will Rock You (seriously, Adam Lambert?), Play The Game, White Queen @ Hammersmith '75, Flash, I Want It All, I Want to Break Free, Under Pressure @ Wembley '86, Jailhouse Rock and Another One Bites The Dust, both from this concert, The Show Must Go On and No One But You (Only The Good Die Young).
You're facial expressions are priceless. Like so many young people that watch Freddie for the first time you said this guy has a good voice at the start of the video. That cracks me up. You became more and more amazed as the song went on and you could hear what an amazing instrument Freddie's voice was. In fact, look up greatest voices of all time (not specifically rock) just all and he is ranked at or near the top in any ranking you'll find. Rock on man.
Freddie's voice is amazing,but Brian,John, Roger,have amazing voices as well,they all work so well together that they enhance each other's voice,without you even noticing .
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not pausing it a million times or yapping through the song. You actually absorbed the performance and had smart things to say
Queen is Legendary and always will be. Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Musicians are not like that today. Pure natural talent. ❤️🔥
Freddie Mercury is the best male vocal frontman in Rock of all time!! This band is incredible and legendary and three of their musicians could all have easily been lead singers.. the bass player would sing sometime but he was better known for his awesome bass skills and writing Another One Bites the Dust and several other good Queen songs.
Now THIS is how you react. Thank you for not constantly interrupting! You were totally into it and it's so fun to watch this again for the first time through your eyes! Keep checking out Queen, you will be amazed and I'm sure you will come across songs that you have heard before that you didn't know were theirs. And also the movie that just came out that is an Oscar contender, "Bohemian Rhapsody" about the band and about Freddie. Good job!
i was there in 1981 i was 19 years old at the time and the atmoshere was magical and the crowd was exctatic ! I 'll remember this event all my life ! Freddie Mercury was at his best ! Thanks to bring me memories of the best moments of my life ,Marc !!! :-) xxx
@@barbarasaracini1271 That's what insane but what a memorized moments i had back then , to witness such a stunning performance ! Indeed ,an amazing journey !!! :-)
@@wildpikes I was more than lucky , i felt blessed ,that's the only word to described the feeling i had at the time !!!! Freddie Mercury was a beast on this show ! I'll never forgot ,ever !!!! :-)
BTW Freddie didn't drink alcohol during performances. He drank tea with honey to keep his throat hydrated & soothed. He said alcohol was drying & he would never risk offending his audience with a burp or belch from beer.
Dude you were awe struck! But who isn't watching this!!! Incredible talent all around; Freddie and Roger killing the vocals and as you said the energy is incredible. If you want to see some sexy, funky Queen, check out Dragon Attack from the same concert (Montreal '81). You will see masters of the stage and crowd totally in sync with one another and a kick ass funky beat. Enjoy your discovery of Queen - when you think you know their sound - you find something new and totally different.
Honestly! Brian is also a god singer. I´ll guess one of the great strenght in the group is the harmonisining voices. Start to feel like the last survivors from world war ll. Saw them live two times in Sweden.
After all these years I'm still amazed how they made all that beautiful noise with just the 4 of them without any electronic gadgets :D It's magic! Thanks for the reaction, greetings from Holland
You were mesmerised from start to finish. That's the Freddie effect in action. The band are so tight - four musical geniuses at the absolute top of their game!
Hi Marc, I've been a Queen fan for over 35 years. I love watching reactions videos from people that are not familiar with the band. Seeing how you reacted to Freddy's voice was priceless. The vast majority of the music industry know he is the greatest frontman ever. You are going to be blown away by the number of classic hit songs that the band put out. Many of which you probably have known your whole life and never knew it was Queen .
People that can play the drums and sing well, always blow my mind. It just strikes my brain as odd for some reason (not that it is). Plus, did you see the angle of his microphone? How would you like to hold your head at that angle while playing the drums for about 2-3 hours? That would suck. Yet, he was still able to sing. Pros, man...
@@MarcMcMillon - I never found it hard to play drums and sing but find it impossible to play guitar or bass and sing. I always end up copying whatever I'm playing on guitar instead of the melody or harmony.
Any Queen Live is worth your time and reaction. You will never be disappointed whether it's hard rock, mock opera or everything in between. And we, the Queen Faithful, will follow you religiously through your journey!!
Awesome reaction. These guys still stand up today because they sound just as good or even better live alongside their studio recordings cause of their pure talent and even now their works are a breath of fresh air. regardless Queen's music is so diverse, timeless and put the "rage" in outrageous! have fun!
I INJOY Your intro,very nice..but your face when you hear Freddie, unbelievable, that look through the whole thing was a great reaction..keep up with Queen, nothen better😍😀😀😀😀watch this every time I catch it😀😀😀
not just a singer with an incredible voice, great piano playing. I think it's a perfect triple play with his masterful stage presence. The singing drummer , in the top 4 in my book.
Little fun fact about freddie and your comment about being a rockstar. Before freddie teamed up with roger and Brian (drummer, guitar) he use to tell everyone he was going to be a rockstar someday. In the documentary I saw about queen, an old acquaintance of Freddie's said that one day he ran into freddie looking all sad. So he asks freddie what's wrong. Freddie's head was hanging low and he said "I'm not going to be a rockstar someday". Before the other guy could console him he said freddie sat up straight and lifted his head and said "I'm not going to be a rockstar. I'm going to be a legend!!!!" 😎😂 Bohemian rhapsody Montreal live is amazing like the others said on here. I think "death on 2 legs" lyric video is epic and worth checking out. Not the live one. One with lyrics. They wrote and dedicated the song to their asshole manager they had fired. He was hoarding the money queen was bringing in. They were raking in the cash and only getting a small stipend. They didnt hold back exactly how they felt about the manager at all in it. I almost felt sorry for the guy. Almost. Lol. Brutal. 😂🤣
great to see & hear you discover QUEEN. Greatest frontman ever! Great talent, showmanship & incomparable voice! Freddie Mercury is a once in a lifetime pure talent! See, watch their other live concerts, especially his power ballads & the Live Aid performance which set the bar for other bands.Enjoy.
Great react! It always means more when someone with your singing and drumming talents enjoys this so much. Freddie and Queen did a W I D E variety of songs. My favorite rock number is Another One Bites the Dust, live at Wembley, where Freddie also throws in a little scat singing, the song you just did above, from Montreal; also Hyde Park 1976 You Take My Breath Away, live, simply and stunningly beautiful, just Freddie and piano. You should also enjoy the three songs here in the Barcelona set that he did with famous Spanish opera soprano Montserrat Caballe (one song sung partly in Japanese, Freddie singing in Spanish with her). I just bought the CD and would HIGHLY recommend it to opera fans, Freddie fans, and anyone in between. The music on it is MAGNIFICENT! Put on your best headphones and turn up the volume.
If you love rock and Queen you must react to their legendary 1985 Live Aid performance. You will recognize just some of their big hits in there, as they have too many to count, but they managed to squeeze in as many as they could in their 20 minute set. BTW, love your voice. :)
I love how Freddie went from tearing up the stage 😂 to casually sipping a beer to rocking the piano with out even losing his momentum.... Lol 😂 that is amazing... If you haven't already might I suggest you react to the live aid concert 1985 and bohemian rhapsody the actual video....... I promise you will not be disappointed 😉...
It's taken me 40 years to fully appreciate that Queen as we love them couldn't exist without the incredible talents of ALL FOUR of these men. Roger owned this one.
Freddie Mercury is a legend, that left this world way too soon. Not many have a voice like that.. he could hit 4 octaves. By the way, I wanted to keep listening to you singing lol.
This whole concert is amazing they really where unbelievable musicians. you should watch some other songs from this concert like another one bites the dust ,bohemian rhapsody ,dragon attack just to name a few
