This is what the internet was truely made for. Capturing a bands performance for to see available for an eternity. Long after the remaining members are 6 feet under we will have these beautiful memories and the world will always be a better brighter happier place for it.
There is no other band in the past, present, or likely future that can take a heavily produced heavily vocalized multilayered dubbed song like this, and actually make it better in concert with just a 4 piece band. This is spectacular. Freddie's rhythm, stage presence, and vocals are unmatched. I'm so lucky I got to see basically this same version in 1982 when I got to see them.
OMG! I would have died to see them! How lucky you are. Ive heard different versions of this song and this is the absolute best. How lucky we were to have been able to enjoy this gift. His voice, his presence, the incredibleness of the group! Freddie lives on in all their songs, and always will🙏🏻
Holy sh*t, that is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard him sound... and he always sounded perfect. It’s like he was an angel who fell to earth, and we could only have him for a short period of time.
The beginning part was his natural singing voice, which he rarely used because he didn't think it fit well for rock music. It's a shame, because even though he always sounds incredible, I just adore the sound of his natural voice. If you haven't already, check out his duets with Montserrat Caballe, he uses his natural singing voice a lot in those tracks and they're incredibly beautiful tracks.
I feel like queen was one of those bands where their live performances were better than their studio recordings. The only thing I dislike about the video is the person recording, I wanted to see all the members faces more, especially John Deacon
He simply owns the stage.. I mean no one could ever rock the stage like this and yet sound so hauntingly beautiful! Best live performance of 'Somebody to love' according to me. Even better than Montreal
It’s my favourite part too. My parents were there and also my Aunty. You can see my aunty quite clearly but my Mum and Dad are hidden somewhere near her. I only live 10-15 mins from the bowl. Though my parents have moved out of MK now.
Wow! Best front man ever, I saw them live in the 70s and the 80s, my ticket in ‘78 cost £3.50! At Stafford Bingley Hall.....that was 7 weeks pocket money at the time, wish I’d made the effort to see them more.....
At their prime, they never thought of split up.. All of them never greed over success and fame.. Even if fredsie is considered to be the leader of the band, but he himself never claimed it and gave all the credits to everyone of them.. Such an inspiration, unlike other bands nowadays.
Jon Vining what? They never broke up never Brian and Roger had solo albums before Freddie Mercury and they always kept making music don’t get all ur facts from the movie
@@jon6159 The band didn't break up, all of them wanted a break but after that they still went on touring together. Don't get all your facts from the movie since it's just a movie (a fantastic movie) but it's not a documentary though. I suggest you watch or read the facts about that band before saying anything
Unreal . The best lead vocalist of all time ... Not only that the most gifted band as they are all multi talented. You will never see hes like again ...Fact. God I wish I Queen live .
I've decided, after listening to this 50 times in the last month (have DVD) the first 1:15 is the greatest 1:15 in the history of pop/rock. I just cannot think of anything to compare for sheer emotion and yearning.
He actually said he thought this was a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody. You look at this performance and realize that the music and performers of today are mostly total shit.
He wanted to interact with the crowd more during the magic tour and play as little piano as possible, which I’m guessing he didn’t do a lot of songs that required him to play the piano
Definitely ... it's suspenseful and creates a kind of tension that the song ultimately relieves! Interesting when you think of the lyrics, "I just can't get no relief" ... it's brilliant the way he could communicate something through music that can be difficult to express in words. For me the music triggers those burried feelings and the lyrics make them explode to the surface.
I would give a day of my life if it meant I could hear Freddie live. I get tears in my eyes thinking about the fact that I never will. I love this mans voice and stage presence. Find me someone as good. I dare you!
How, HOW is the Montreal version better than this?? Dont get me wrong all versions of this song are great but this particular version is just truly awesome. You can hear Freddie's soul just pour out into every note he sings/plays. Plus Roger's energy on the drums...FANFUCKINGTASTIC 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I don't know why, but what I like most about this live version is how instead of saying "everyday of my life" he says "everyday of my bloody life" 2:00 😍😍
Wouldn't it be mind blowing if there's a little known band somewhere right now doing what queen did!? It's possible, maybe not In my lifetime, but possible. Live music coming from a performance so powerful it was described as the force of an "avalanche" aren't words we here today. Roger, Freddie, Brian, and John's energy could arouse every sensation a body has. Who's able to do so today without the ego of a pompous, pious, jaded, egomaniac? And live, performing not just singing is an art a dying art. The art of Queen. I can't stand the divas who can't write, composed, improvise, use their imagination to the nth degree. Who buy Queen made music to fit their style not be signed to a record label, get drugged up, stay self proclaimed rock God's...pfffff, please. None since the beauty Freddie's voice pulled together. No band I've heard has come close to the force know as Queen... Holding bands to a standard of at the very least being able to perform live, not only perform live but perform Like Legends should be something we never should of let go of. My fairy king. Freddie on in every adventure. 😘
International Pug -yes the queen extravaganza- with Marc Martel singing and sounding almost exactly like Freddie... he is unreal... he also sang parts of BR movie... Freddie would be proud... best frontman EVER... Marc is pretty amazing.
@@@gar7reever754 I have not heard about Marc. I'll have to look him up. Thanks for the heads up. I love Freddie, but I love Roger, Brian n John. Together they made magic. I love this video simply bc it's a group working together perfectly and enjoying themselves, I so wish the video wasn't cut off as Roger n Freddie end the song with happiness expressed! Their voices are like peas and carrots! As much as Freddie needed smile, they needed him to as we all know. Hearing someone in concert today is nearly shit. Nothing comes close to the quality of these ppl. I'm excited to hear the Marc you talk about!!!!! I sometimes wonder how wonderful it would of been if Freddie would of had a child. What a legacy he left to us all. Merry Christmas!
International Pug YES MARC MARTEL!! he did vocals fir the movie ... check him out.... he is in a band for roger Taylor too .... he should be with queen instead of Adam lambert...?
As moving as Live Aid was, this might be the single greatest vocal performance from Freddie. My God, was he ever on it this night at that moment. I watch this and it's just chills. One of, if not THE greatest front man clearly at the top of his game.
If I had a chance to answer to: ' Are you ready brothers and sisters ' , I would tear my vocal cords apart, just to sream right from the bottom of my heart a big Yes.
Who else feel Freddie is great and Beiber is also a human and we don't need to bash him or anyone for that matter to express our love for Freddie's talent
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! Incredible how Freddy is so on point with every note and articulation of every word. INCREDIBLE! AND the band.. QUEEN supporting him! What UNITY!!!
Freddie actually never died.. he'll always live in our hearts. There will be no other like him !! Magic voice, magic performance !! Freddie, love of my life !!

My father was able to see them live every time they played at Madison Square Garden... Every..single..time. And I was born 4 years after he died. Needless to say, but I’m insanely jealous.
My favorite part is from 6:04 when roger screams. you can hear that it comes from the heart ! Queen the best!!!!!!! also my favorite performance and song... cheers !!!
Queen!! Best band. Best Job. Thank you for the music. And especially vor this song. I love my job as a musician. Also cause of you guys. You live on freddie! Greetings from Bavaria
Best performance of 'Somebody To Love'! Freddie is bang on especially at 2:44 when he gets gritty. I could watch this over and over and over and oh wait, I do!!!!! Freddie Forever!!!!
