you know the bands motto about the start of their concerts was...Deaf em, blind em and leave them wanting more.....they sure knew how to get the crowd going right away!!...Now I am going to go watch this show...you got me excited!!
I think at Queen's concerts it didn't even matter where you were, front or side, Freddie was really a gentleman on stage, he got everywhere. I bet he was looking his fans in the eyes: "come on we will rock you tonight" !!!✊🙋
You know at some point you will want to do a full concert reaction either Milton keynes or Wembley. When you say now and again in your reactions that you don't want to take up too much of our time, hey we would give up our time for yourself to do a full concert Queen reaction.
No one does it better than Queen. Those guys 100% earned every damn penny of their fortune. So many music stars are lazy now. The effort and energy Queen put in every single time was immense.
That was Queen & Freddie, is was always about their performances! Best there ever was or will be! Queen & Freddie 4ever 👑🤴🏻🎶🎤🎼🥰‼️ Great reaction as always Hap! Freddie wanted to make sure that all of the audience was acknowledged that’s why he ran all over the stage! Yes Freddie does the running around on most of the stadium shows.
I love Queen but I wouldn't call them my number one favorite band. With that said they just might be the best live performing rock act ever. Their combination of energy and talent was unmatched. They gave you everything they had and then some. It's a shame we lost Freddie Mercury yet the man did more in 45 years than most can ever dream of doing. What a legacy.
This lighting rig was a Queen innovation. The multi-colored panels were motorized to move back and forth on I-beams above the stage. They could also be lowered to within feet of the stage and pivot the front up and down. The 3-light rigs each had a control person sitting on them. They were used to follow each band member around and could be pointed in any direction needed by the operator. Queen concerts were visual spectacles!
At 7:35 : That POOR cameraman!😳 Can you IMAGINE having the job of being responsible for following Freddie when he's RUNNING around everywhere UP & down stairs... all while carrying that BIG, heavy camera?🤭 At 7:42 : Does everyone NOTICE what Mad Man Fred is doing here??? He jumps up ON THE RAILING. (WHERE IS HEALTH & SAFETY, Mate?!?!?) I CRINGE every time I watch that bit. (Which admittedly has been MANY times, since - as I keep saying just cuz I CAN'T help myself - this is my ALL TIME FAV Queen concert)🤩
marcie i saw them 3 days before this show at edinburgh, they were fantastic and really on form during this tour! i agree with you about standing on that railing though 🙈 what gets me about our fred is he can run across the stage and up the steps still singing but never drops a note! he's amazing, a true talented performer, he's got it all 👑✊🇬🇧
Enjoying listening to this even though I feel awful ( possibly covid19). Queen band is one of the best medicine for me. Love the energy of them live and yes they looked like they were going to four different events and yet they were tighter than quadruplets in the womb on stage
I agree, such amazing energy and action! Freddie, and Queen, in fact, were amazing performers who made everyone feel a part of the show. One of a kind. It's like watching someone teleport themselves all over the place on stage, when watching Freddie run about all over the stage of any venue they played. So fun! Great reaction as usual!
They may have just burst out on to the stage but the music was playing for 2 or 3 minutes before they appeared. A trick they learned from an early stage to build the audience up to a frenzy. Always remember the first time I saw them with about a minute of the drum intro to Procession before the guitars kicked in then they burst onto the stage.
allan riach i saw them 3 days before this show at ingliston and they were just amazing! and at the glasgow apollo dec 1st '79, you're right about the intro's, it got us all fired up and when they ran on and you got the first glimpse of them the place just erupted!! fantastic memories indeed! and i feel so sorry for the newcomers who never got the chance to see Queen at their peak, the proper band, not the lambert razzmatazz 🙄 👑✊🇬🇧
Great reaction! If you notice, Freddie always stands on the risers by the drums before the pyrotechnics go off. That’s because during the filming of the Official “Tie Your Mother Down” video, Roger was BLOWN OFF HIS SEAT into the floor!! You will notice Freddie turn abruptly and look back to where Roger was in the video. Freddie continued to “be there” for Roger after in the following years. After watching the Official video, watch the Live performance of Tie Your Mother Down at Wembley ‘86.

I bought this dvd when it first came out. I watch it more often than any other live music dvd I own. If I could have been at any Queen show it would have been this one, hands down.
Freddie’s moves were always so spontaneous, and he really knew how to draw his audience in. He could control them like no other artist ever could. There is no better example of his crowd control than their 1986 Wembley concerts. I know you said you have your reasons for not watching it, (I’m not sure what they are) but I hope you will reconsider, because you’re really missing out, Wembley is EPIC!
Nice reaction! Milton keynes is one of my all time favourite concerts When i first saw this performance, i was blown away by the instrumentation and vocals At 4:04 i thought it was brian's guitar, but nope it was freddie, What a range! As others suggesting The whole concert is a highlight With amazing performances and moments I am more than willing to watch a hour and half long reaction ❤️
Great reaction! MK was an all round great show and I love Brian's guitar solo where he loses power but they kept it in the dvd release anyway...he just plugs in again and gets on with it!! Keep up the good work my friend👍
and also brian breaking a string during dragon attack, john and freddie go into jamming mode and carry on as if its just part of the show as brian changes guitars then comes back in seamlessly, absolutely fantastic musicianship from our boys 👑✊🇬🇧
You missed one little detail you don't see very often ... "The Broken Mic-Stand" is missing, when he runs to the edge of the stage :-) Saw this concert years ago at a cinema as a promotion for the dvd/b-ray ... what a fun!
Oh my gosh, I was just watching crowd video from this concert tonight! It ended with Freddie waiting to go on stage. He looked so calm and then he hits the stage like a dynamo. Love the entire band, but I can't take my eyes off of Freddie at times like this. I love the way they opened shows. Crowd footage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vriImWtu_No.html
Amazing, This is Rock I Love Jamming to. Especially when Queen has songs like this its just fantastic. 4:06 That Note Freddie hit there really hit me Hard. Not that it is THE HIGHEST I HAVE EVER HEARD, no its just a normal high note which in my ears sounds like a C5, but what hits me there is, no matter how I hit that note IT JUST CANT sound anything near good, Mine just sounds stupid and nothing else And he just simple does an ''OOOOOOOOOOOH'' BUT JUST THAT IS A MIND BLOWING MOMENT. I still don't believe Freddie is a Baritone, like you can't tell me a baritone can hit a C5 like that. Also There is something you missed through the fast we will rock you performance. Freddie didn't have his Iconic mic stand with him, That's like the only time I have seen him without it. And see how he does different moves when not having it attached to the Mic. As I always said, the mic stand really helps Freddie being more Freddie with moves and stuff. Great Reaction. Hope you'll someday react to ''Stargazer'' by Rainbow with Cozy Powell on drums and one of the most amazing Metal Singers Ronnie James Dio. It's an Iconic Rock song
@@johngraham5996 Me my sister were lucky enough to be there both shows. Heart opened the second night and they were great, too. Loved Ann Wilson’s powerhouse voice.
@@irenedownie6559 i cant remember heart very much, i was right at the front on brians side and managed to smuggle in a slim 110 camera, i still have some photos left! there was 3 things that i will never forget from that show, firstly freddie came to the front of the stage and for 2 seconds he looked me right in the eyes as he sung, i smiled at him then he strutted off, secondly brian was sat at the piano getting settled to play the 'save me' intro and freddie came up to the side of the piano and leaned across it holding his mic like a snooker cue pretending he was going to knock a drink over brian, the pair of them just smiled at each other, it was a lovely moment between two old friends! now, this one is a funny one and i have spoken to many people who claimed to be there but cant remember this one.....the crew had fixed a bright yellow rubber duck on a thin wire from the lighting rig and when freddie stood in the right place the duck was lowered to just above his head and we would all point and laugh at him, just as freddie was about to turn round the duck was quickly hoisted up and when he turned round there was nothing there, it was just a daft wee joke that freddie was obviously in on but it was their way of getting us involved! as they walked off stage to god save the Queen roger jumped on freddies back and got a piggyback until they were out of sight, but what a fantastic night it was and the whole band were great, was the tuesday show as good, do you have any memories from your nights? 👑✊🇬🇧
Sometimes when I'm doing my jog..I can just listen to the Hero live version on repeat! Yes for an hour.. it just gives me such adrenaline rush while exercising lol
HAP, Freddie was singing that little tune Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt (dee-dee-dee-dee, deeeee dee)with Brian at their hotel in the morning because he was learning another language (Hungarian) to sing the song later at the concertit in Budapest that day for the audience ... to surprise them.!! when you watch the Budapest live concert you will hear him ... he was so nervous he wrote it on his palm incase he needed it !!! how sweet was that ! here's link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RPZdgyuixPA.html Sailor Suzie
I think I mentioned before abt rock bands etc tht I would never listen to them but when queen freddie sang aaaww it had meaning which I enjoy abt music freddie when he started singing we will rock u awesome yes the sound of the band couldn't hear clearly but thts rock bands but as soon as freddie sings 👌💃💃
Freddie is a lightening bolt. Queen is the storm. I don't see "Ride the Wild Wind" I on your play list - maybe a listen soon? Roger kills it! Lyric video only I believe. This is one of those crank-it-up-songs while driving OR when you need to take that leap in life OR just need to GET UP, GET OUT AND GET ON WITH IT. HA! Thx Hap for your joy and the special place Queen has with you now...
I was there and it was amazing, got to see Queen with Freddie three times NEC 79,80 &MK Bowl 82. I saw them with Paul Rodgers at Hyde Park and Adam Lambert at the NIA. The only band who can match Queen Live that is Iron Maiden who put on a top show and really entertain just like Queen did. Try this for a live performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-epYKVcHrVr0.html
Queen was and still is a jolt of electricity! What an overtalented and overachieved group!!! I really enjoy your reactions, very precise and on point yet still enjoying the songs! May I leave you the link for another Queen song? A sweet and endearing one, written and sung by Brian may, Song's called "She makes me" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i5xBeuB01jc.html
good version but what annoys me about this show was gone was the pizza oven lighting rig and these lights look tame against those . This is with the old pizza oven set up , how much more impressive is this lighting rig ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0suzvgggAGw.html The faster version of Rock You I prefer to the original version , the version on Queen on Air is epic with its little reading before hand added to the song
HAP! You mentioned the Hungarian Folk Song... I've been intending to send you THIS short clip : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xs4H627KSoM.html It's a little bit of BTS Budapest pre-concert footage, inc at 1:30 a (very brief) night time scene where Fred (w Mary Austin) is trying out a bit of those lyrics for the first time.🤗 And... at :50 & 1:48 you get to see Fred's (rather intimidating) personal bodyguard, if you haven't seen him before.😳 (I'm not sure when Fred started having a bodyguard all the time, but it was probably either after his 1984 broken-knee-in-the-German-bar-room-brawl or else after the band's trip to South Africa (because they had to hire a bodyguard for Fred while they were there) in 1985.
Live Queen is just the best! Please react to this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sb-uUzLu3Wc.html Its Wembley - Lap of The Gods/Seven Seas of Rhye/Tear It Up medely. Sooo good!
