QUEEN Somebody To Love Live In Montreal 81 Reaction! 

Watching people fall in love with Queen is possibly one of the best things I’ve ever seen. I’m so happy watching this!!

Reporter: "Freddie, what instrument do you play?" Freddie: "The audience."

Little known fact: Superman wears a Freddie Mercury T-shirt

“Is that the full range of his voice” Freddie Mercury: *laughs in D5*

“Is that the full range of his voice?” Not even close.

roger taylor, the drummer, sings better than most leads in other rockbands ... but well ... there was freddy in his band.

"That guitarist" is Dr. Brian May, PhD Astrophysicist. As a teen, he and his father built the guitar ("Red Special") he's playing to this very day, over 50 years later.

No backing tracks, no background singers, no headphones or earbuds to hear, just 4 amazing, brilliant musicians playing to stadiums of 80,000 to a couple hundred thousand down in Latin America. The only band better than Queen, was Queen when they performed live. I highly recommend you react to their live stuff, as it always has incredible energy and never repeats. Freddie used to say if you want an exact duplication of the record to stay home and to listen to it. The show was for entertainment and fun! And "Is that his full range?" Hell no, that man' 4 octive range could out-sing the angels!! Can't wait for more Queen!! White Queen at the Odeon Hammersmith is an excellent start at early Queen!! Thanks so much for reacting to the greatest live band ever, or so their award says!

I just love seeing your reactions to Freddie. I'm in love with a gay man who's been dead for over 20 years, and who never knew I existed..Freddie Mercury. So yeah, your reactions make me smile.

"Is that the full range of his voice?" Awww, hahaha. Nope. He had an insane vocal range! 4 octaves. He even sang some opera later in his life - listen to "Exercises in Free Love"! He's commonly considered the greatest male rock vocalist of all time, plus one of - if not the - greatest frontmen ever. Definitely watch Live Aid! They had a 20-minute set that's been voted the best rock performance ever, plus he sings some classics: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and We Are the Champions are in there, plus others you might not have heard.

this is why I have such a hard time appreciating the big ones out there getting paid 250 a ticket to perform, because they seem to need to put on some spectacle of a show, but I grew up on this stuff where they were so good that they needed nothing more than a stage and a band and a crowd. I mean he was a real entertainer.

Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure talent. ❤️🔥

Freddie Mercury - lead singer; Brian May - guitar; John Deacon - bass; Roger Taylor - drums. Their live performances are amazing.

"Oh, he knows how to get the crowd moving to!" Literally one of the biggest entertainers in the history of humankind

Freddie loved by the world even nearly 30 years after his passing. The best ever, no comparison and no dispute. Queen were 4 extraordinary musicians in one band. Freddie's power, range and sheers emotion and the most amazing performer you will ever see

Best live band EVER. They rock! Their motto was "We'll blind 'em, we'll deafen 'em, and we'll leave 'em wanting more!" ...and hell they did, they did it better than anyone else.

Freddie is not just a lead singer, he’s a legend. He’s a rock God. Queen was brilliant. Freddys Voice range was stellar

He did find somebody to love! His name was Jim Hutton and they were together the last 6 years of his life. But yeah this performance is everything. He had a crazy vocal range and he could go way higher than what you heard here. You should react to Live Aid next. It's considered the best performance in rock history. You should also check out some Wembley 86 ones too because that concert was amazing. I suggest Another Ones Bites The Dust ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HnCgN4knr0Y.html and Who Wants To Live Forever ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MOhuK7aZayw.html

Btw, Freddie refused to get his teeth fixed, because he knew they had alot to do with his vocal range. You can find him saying this in several interviews.

I was at that gig in Montréal... the best show I saw! And their best performance ever... they were all at their peak!

Freddy killed with the intro and says "ok lets do it", i melted already.

It wasn’t just the Heineken up there. I read somewhere he also had water and honey-lemon tea for his throat up there too, which is probably what the other cups were. He’d just take a sip of whatever he felt like he needed in the moment to stay on top of his game.

Actually man!? You are sooooo missing out. Queen are thee Ultimate Band!! You NEED to listen to EVERYTHING they have produced. I grew up with them. Can’t imagine a life without them in it. My 15 year old daughter is obsessed with them. Trust me, download the back catalogue, you will not be disappointed xx

Freddie Mercury - Lead Vocals/Piano/occasionally guitar, also degree in design and created the Queen logo to incorporate all the bands astrological star signs. Brian May - Lead guitar/vocals/occasionally piano/keyboards, also a Phd in Astrophysics and built the guitar he plays when he was a teenager with his dad as they couldn't afford to buy him one. It is called the Red Special and is made from things such as an old mantelpiece, a table top, knitting needle and mother of pearl buttons etc! It is still his main guitar to this day. Roger Taylor - Drums/vocals, also a degree in biology although he started out studying dentistry. Finally, John Deacon - Bass, the only member who wasn't a regular vocalist, but had a degree in engineering and built a specialist amp called the Deaky amp using stuff he found in a skip! It allowed Brian to do even more with his already amazing guitar. An amazing band that had the rare gift of being even better live than in the studio and covered so many different genres that many believe they are a genre all on their own. Welcome to Queen, a journey that will take you from Ballad to Diss track and from Speed Metal to Waltz ..... Enjoy! Edit : Oops, forgot to mention, they wrote their own songs and all four of them wrote hit songs for the band. E.g : Freddie - Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love. Brian - We Will Rock You, Who Wants To Live Forever. Roger - Radio Ga Ga, A Kind Of Magic. John - Another One Bites The Dust, You're My Best Friend.

Oh man if you love this, You have got to see the video LIVE AID July 1885 QUEEN. It is the most incredible thing you will ever ever see and he holds a crowd of 75,000 people in the palm of his hand. ❤️❤️❤️

Freddie did find someone to love. He was called Jim.

Queen deserve their place in history. You are helping keep them alive .👍✌

Listen to that drummer singing along with Freddie... Roger sounds good and the band has awesome chemistry and this song is fabulous.. I absolutely love your reaction to this song and I want to see you react to live aide. It’s incredible. Thank you

“Was that the full range of his voice” Nope that was just playing around lol

He found his love first “the love of his life” Mary Austin and then his lifepartner for the last part of his life Jim Hutton

You got the old gray-hair crowd loving your reactions-grandma says “you’re adorable and your reactions are priceless!”

I love when new people are discovery new music, & opening their minds to new genre's of music!!! Love how much you are loving & reacting to QUEEN, and discovering one of the truly great rock & roll bands of all time!!! ❤️ 💛 💙 💜

Why Freddie Mercury microphone stand? Here's how that happened: early in Queen's career, he was apparently mid-show when his mic stand snapped in half. Instead of having it replaced, Freddie just used it as-is. He must have liked it, because he used the mic "stick" from then on.

He was the BEST!!!!!

Performance wise it don't get any better than this go Freddie Outstanding!! People get on your feet and salute top man!!

Bruh everyone loves him there's no need to force anyone to love him

i think you should watch QUEEN LIVE AT LIVE AID 1985 (full 20 minutes) - you´ll be amazed. it is considered the best live-performance ever.

Yes, he found somebody to love. In the last years of his life he was in a very stable and loving relationship. You were so concerned with Freddie finding somebody to love because he puts so much passion and emotion into his voice with every song, he makes you feel like every song is real and present. Great reaction.

Queen is so talented, it's crazy.

If you want to see Freddie fire up a crowd check out their Live Aid performance from 1985.

Like many other people here, I'd suggest you react to Queen at Live Aid 1985. That will really show you Freddie's mastery of involving & controlling an audience. As a charity concert it had a hugely diverse line-up and tickets were on sale, if not already sold out, before Queen were confirmed as appearing. So it's definitely not a Queen crowd and yet all 72,000 in Wembley Stadium and also all the people watching on-screen at the partner concert in Philadelphia were right in the palm of Freddie's hand. Second suggestion: Queen - Death on Two Legs. You may perhaps think you've heard a diss-track or two. Not until you're heard Death on Two Legs you haven't! 😁

Killer queen, don't stop me now, white queen, love of my life..and the list goes on

Freddie had a 5 octave range. Unusual for a male singer.... 💖

“Oh he knows how to get a crowd moving too”......🤯

Freddie found somebody to love.

1981 concert is one of their best - from the same show... try "Save Me" - Brian (guitarist) starts on piano and then transitions back to guitar with Fred back at keys... it's flawless! (and yes, he did finally find "somebody to love" - took a few years, though... )

I can't explain how wonderful it is to watch another generation discovering bands/groups like "Queen", Led Zepplen", "Heart", "Righteous Bros", etc.

Millions of people around the world love Freddie and the band to this day! So love was found❤️

Highly recommend Cool Cat by Queen - just amazing !

Check out Somebody to Love 1981 Live. Watch the way he moves his mouth and uses his breath. He uses his entire body as a conductor. Just absolutely brilliant. Considered to be the best vocalist in the world. Could sing 4 octaves. Look that up to see how rare that is. Brian May, was his front guitarist. He was a genius in his own right. Brian was not only gifted in musical ability, but he was an ASTROPHYSICIST! They are the greatest band in the world!! I love the way you comment. You truly listen to the music. I can see where it moves you. And you don't talk over the music! Hallelujah! I've watched other commenters, and they stop the music every 3 seconds throughout the song. A great number of them look as if they have AD/HD. Thank you and Well Done!

I was actually at that Show at the Montreal Forum in 1981 !!! The first live concert I ever saw in my life and was blown away ! I had just turned 15. The ticket cost me $ 22.00 in the nosebleed section... but I could still see the stage very well because of the Forum's layout (used for hockey games). when Freddy Mercury said Bonjour Montreal ... the crowd lost it ! The show lasted for over 2 hours and Freddy would engage the crowd in singing along to certain songs. Stomp stomp slap, stomp stomp slap, stomp stomp slap, stomp stomp slap .... Those rows of lights in front of the drums flashing at the same time ... the entire building was vibrating as we all did it ! and Freddy let us go on for a bit before starting the song. Of course, I'm talking about the song We Will Rock You. This live concert is available on RU-vid, it is a montage of the 2 consecutive nights that Queen played at the Montreal Forum. Special fact about this : The next day of the 1st show, Freddy Mercury was widely criticized by the local press about him only performing for the cameras that were filming rather than performing for the crowd of fans. On the night of the 2nd show that I attended, after he greeted us with ''Bonjour Montreal'' and we all then went nuts ! He went on to say that he had read the papers and that he was very disappointed but mostly sorry and he wanted to make things right with us .... he then said, and I quote ''so tonight, fuck the cameras'' ! .... of course, we all went nuts ! .... and got treated with an awesome show !

Love seeing someone find Freddie and Queen. This one was Freddie's favorite. I was crushed the day he died, but thank the Lord we have his music

If you want live then White Queen at Hammersmith 75 has the best solo Queen ever did. Save Me is an amazing song - it has a great studio video, and their live performance at Montreal is incredible too.

Love the reaction. Freddie had a 4 octave voice. He had done a song in opera it's beautiful. Queen is amazing and Freddie is greatly missed

Yes he did find somebody to love! Eventually!💕

I've said for a while now that Freddie just may have had the best voice in rock music ever!!! He's phenomenal!!!

Roger Taylor had a sweet high voice.

Great reaction ,try watching the live aid concert from Wembley London ,it was a concert with lots of different bands playing ,to raise money for people dying of starvation in the Sudan ,it was playing at the same time as one in USA with American bands ,queen were added late through touring ,but stole the show with their twent five minute set ,that will show you how amazing this group were ,sorry it's a bit long but might as well start at best live show ever ,good luck from Liverpool uk

Freddie already has millions of fans that love him the entire band is great they've each written hits too

And that's what has been missing in your life up to now. Welcome to the family of Queen fans all over the world! All their live performances were like this. Energy, talents, and charisma. My special favorite is a live performance in 1976 You Take My Breath Away. Nothing but Freddie and his piano. Nothing else required. A whole new range of Freddie's voice, and his emotions showing in his performance.

Great reaction video ! Please react to Queen Live Aid Full set 1985, it's Greates Live Musical Performance !!!

Do you want to see him get the crowd going to check out queen live at Wembley stadium 1986 “Under Pressure” also from Wembley stadium “Another One Bites The Dust” fantastic!!!!

Freddie and Queen left it all on the stage!!! Nothing held back!!!! Love re-living this with you all!!!!

Freddie Mercury was loved by millions around the world. I was a late starter fan of Queen because my life was busy back then. He is the one musician I most regret never seeing live and miss the most.

I'm loving your reaction to Queen. I grew up listening to them and still my absolute favourite band ever 😊😍

All their live performance were amazing! Try White queen at The Odeon, Hammersmith best jamming session ever. From this Montreal concert Dragon attack, Save me.

It's 100% PURE talent. That's not beer in the cups, it's warm water with honey to help his throat. He takes a drink because he's about to go for that high note.

He did till the day he passed...and beyond i beliee for love lasts for ever

a concert-vid from 1981 in HD?!?!! ... yeah, queen was always ahead of their time! queen decided to film a concert in best possible quality and bring it to the cinemas/movie-theaters ... they decided, so they did! :-) original the sound is even recorded in surround sound!!! and yet, there is a THX 7.1 mix avaible! hard to find another band who did it, because that was quite expencive! i mean, we are still talking about 1981! queen = best and most innovative band in the world!

there’s also two songs that definitely you will know when you hear it “we will rock you” and “we are the champions” you hear it in every sports stadium around the world! And right now there are way too many more songs to list at this moment but continue doing reactions to Queen and I will continue requesting more songs!! No better showman no better singer than Freddie Mercury he was the best he was a performer!!

Freddie was the simply the best showman

The guy was a GOD and it broke my heart as a kid when he passed away. It never ceases to amaze me what he could achieve with his voice especially live!

Check out some David Bowie, just search "top Bowie songs." He was instrumental in changing pop culture.

This is a great recording of this song. But....it was SO MUCH better in person. I saw them on the opening of the US leg of this tour, for their album "The Game", in September of 1980 at Madison Square Garden AND again during their tour for the album "Hot Space", at the Garden again, in the summer of '82. Billy Squier opened for them, should check him out!

I’m 51 and grew up with this music and I was just as shook as you are listening to it. Totally loved these talented guys. They were AMAZING ❤️🌸🤗👍

A group of four intellectuals, graduates, perfectionists and talent was amazing

The guitar player and his dad mad that guitar when he was 16-18 years old is is callecthe red special.

You need to react to George Michael singing this song at Freddy’s tribute concert after he passed. It was the best of the night!

I was at this concert! Seeing Freddie live was an unbelievable experience.

England had more then one Queen and Freddie was the most loved one. Freddie was known to go 4 octaves and do opera as well.Each one had a degree Brian May lead guitarist was actually an Are you ready he was an Astrophysicist cool right.I loved Freddie he controled the crowd to the point that the crowd actually sang Bohemian Rhapsody in perfect sync all strangers who never met sang in harmony thousands look for the video that says fans sing Bohemian Rhapsody without Freddie word for word.💞💞💞💞💞

Good to see you enjoyed this!

Another great Queen performance is One Vision Live at Wembley

Freddy not only the best singer, best showman but had a wicked sense of humor, plus he was really kind to his fans.

Beautiful Freddie, the best frontman ever, the best rock band ever, all of them so talented in their own right, all their live performances are amazing 😍😍😍😍

Want to hear Roger Taylor (drummer) sing? Listen to I'm in love with my car.

Can you please react to Queen Love Of My Life Live in Wembley?

And can you hear the drummer sing?! They're all awesome!

Like i said before: Queen is for everyone, every age, every country. Queen unites! Love from Austria

Good reaction btw

J: head cocked. "oooooh. Do y'all hear that or is it just me?" No, baby. It's not just you.

Freddie Mercury the greatest rock star, the greatest entertainer that ever lived. I was fortunate to see his last gig at knebworth in UK in 1986. I miss and love you everyday Freddie. Yes he did find love Jayvee. I'm so glad you enjoyed the Queen songs I've been fortunate to have listened to them growing up 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Freddie is an absolutely mesmerising performer,cant take my eyes off him

try "Another one bites the Dust" or "Who wants to live forever" or "Born to be kings"

You need to see "Save Me" Montreal 1981

Queen was once in a generation band. Freddie was unique in the world of music. There will never be anyone like Freddie ever again. Your videos of you hearing Queen songs for the first time warm my heart in a very sad time in our world.

Freddie did find love towards the end of his life, an amazing singer and songwriter. Rest in peace Freddie xx

PLEAASEEEEEE react to Queen, White Queen live at the Odeon. Absolutely AMAZING

I LOVED this reaction lmao. Watching you be blown away was great:) They were so tight as a live band. Every single member is masterclass at their skill. You should check out the performance of "Keep Yourself Alive" from this same concert. It is my favorite performance of the song because it really shows off every single band member's skill. It's also just a fantastic performance and you never really get anything less with Queen. The bass and guitar work in the intro is sick. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-urQiivcUkx0.html

Trust me, everybody still loves him to this day. Freddie lives on still

If had been looking in the mirror in the 1970s when i first heard this song, i'd be looking just like you. Queen (and especially Freddie Mercury) were truly treasures of a lifetime. Thanks!
