Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever (Live In Budapest 1986) 4K Reaction! 

Great reaction. This song is profound and Freddie is otherworldly.

Sorry if I bring anyone down with this, but it has softened with time and become a warm memory for me. This is the song we played at my husband's memorial service. He was killed by a drunk driver in 1993. He took me to Montreal, a 5000-mile return trip, from Alberta to Quebec, to spend my 24th birthday at the Queen concert, on Nov 24, 1981. The best concert I ever attended. Sadly, Freddie passed away on my birthday 10 years later. There are two men I light candles for on the anniversary of their passing. Though I never met one of them, he had a huge impact on my life. The other WAS my life. Just thought I'd share that little bit of personal history. Thanks for reading.

Knowing what freddie was going through everytime i hear this song it brings tears my eyes God bless you freddie You will live on forever

Thanks 🤩

Brian wrote this song for the soundtrack for the movie Highlander where the main character is immortal and is conflicted because he has fallen in love with a mortal and knows that loving her means he will have to live to see her die. Beautiful song that really does transcend the actual theme it was written for. Thank you for your reaction.

That’s the best damn reaction I’ve heard your absolutely right I’m almost 70 was brought up with Queen Pink Floyd Ac/DC but Freddie was in a class of his own no vocal training no auto tune just pure raw unoblitered talent . Let tomorrow take care of itself…

TY. You are loved too

Listened to this song often with my brother. He passed away. Miss those moments together. Beautiful song

😂 “Swagger Stick”- love it! Freddie was definitely one of a kind!

I agree, just live your best life, nothing else matters

I am glad you picked the Budapest version, it's even more impressive than Wembley. -- Thank you for a heartfelt reaction Highly. ☮ Freddie brings out the deepest emotions in people. 💝

i remembered when he died...rip. i was in computerschool and had lunch the radio just went ..we will have a silent moment cuz freddie mercury just died...the whole school just went silent and everyone stand up and just prayed and wished him good luck in heaven,

Such a beautiful performance. The broken mic stand (swagger stick 😂) happened during an early live performance where he accidentally broke the mic stand he liked the feel of it and stuck with it even in most music videos 😊

This is such an awesome heartfelt reaction by you *HxC!* It was a mind blowing performance by Freddie and Queen! Your comments at the end are so true. *Take care and God bless!*

Beautiful performance, real and true message! This song belongs to the soundtrack to "Highlander" and it's still more emotional listening to it watching the movie. Unfortunately, there are people that pass away too soon, contradictions of life. Thanks for your react to the Master Freddie and Queen

Freddie❤😢

Stunning live performance...my personal favorite Queen song.

This song was originally written for Highlander and those people did indeed live forever. So I feel this was originally a melancholic view on life and death of those eternals. However in light of Freddie falling ill and his way too early death, this song got a new dimension. Perhaps even here he knew he was dying adding an emotional dimension for himself. Immensely beautiful.

Aaah darling, thankyou for this reaction!!! Freddie was amazing live, and the four of them together really mesmerizing. Great to see some Queen love ❤️ their music is timeless, and still loved by so many around the world, epic imo. Freddie and the guys left an amazing legacy! I hope to see some more Queen along the way dear. Much love and bless to you!

Queen alway wrote such meaningful and beautful songs that can just your soul. Happy Sunday and enjoy it in the moment! ❣🎶👑

He will live forever in our hearts❤️

Written by Brian to The Highlander movie, where the hero is immortal. Freddie was that kind of man who lived in the actual moment, he didn't deal with the past, he didn't think on tomorrow, he lived for "today".

Thanks for this sing and your worts we have i try more to LIFE writh know ❣️

MUY BUENA VERSION DEL MAS GRANDE DE LA HISTORIA

I saw ur emotion thru ur eyes. ❤️

Love Freddie Mercury the greatest showman ever fantastic

Dude...thank you! I enjoy your vids, but I enjoy your insights so much more, you Sir are a true human being.

Twice as heartbreaking knowing he got aids, think he might not have known yet here, but I think through this song he came to terms with his mortality and his inevitable heartbreaking demise ❤️❤️❤️ love you always Freddy!

Freddie’s very first performance with Roger and Brian…the band was called Smile…when he tried to hold the microphone, it got stuck. He struggled with it, finally getting the whole stick with the microphone. He just held on to it and sang. So from day one, that became his trademark. He always worked it pretty good, didn’t he?

Such good words my friend.. loved the song.

Absolutely amazing performance from all the band , the best frontman ever, Queen have sold 300 million albums worldwide, all the members of Queen have written no1 hits, Queens greatest hits is still the best selling album of all time in the Uk 🇬🇧, I attended the tour but in 1986 at Wembley Stadium 80, 000 crowd absolutely talented musicians also !

Lol 🤣😆 crack up "Love you to the Moon and back". Nice Queen reaction, look forward to checking out more of your future Queen reactions.

Beautiful song written for the Highlander movie soundtrack!! The Budapest version is my favorite! Freddie sounds wonderful! You should check out the other songs from the soundtrack ie., PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, ONE YEAR OF LOVE, GIMME THE PRIZE, A KIND OF MAGIC … 🌙🌟⭐️💫☀️

Brian conducted this song, & wrote it. Just an incredible song, ofcourse with Freddie being lead singer he had to be superb too!! 💝💝💝

Bravo 😢😢😢Bravo💕💕💕

You have reacted to it before in a version with The Danish National Symfoni Orchestra - and a female soloist. I saw it and commented on. it half an hour ago. Thanks for your reaction.

Brian wrote this song for the film "The Highlander".

Great reaction! I mentioned MORE QUEEN.. and you did 🤗🎸🥂👑

Written for the movie Highlander

I love this song. So amazing .

Beautiful song, great reaction.

It is deep, but think about it the simple way, the moment your born your dying, might be 6 months, 10/20/30 or 90 years but the moment your born your dying too. So live everyday like its your last, cause it might just be...

You made some very deep moving comments . Cheers

You got me choked up!

💓

Wow 🥰 beautiful 😍❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

This song was written for a movie Highlander.

Love Queen I'm in love with my car is good 😀

dying in 2 or so according to the doctor I wonder if freddie knew he was dying ...at the time of this concert.

I know Brian Mays wrote this song for the Highlander movie/TV series, and it is absolutely brilliant in that context, but I wonder if he also knew on some level what was happening to Freddie as he wrote it. The “official” story is that Freddie received his HIV diagnosis in 1986 (so it would coincide with the release of the song, at least, and Freddie would have been experiencing symptoms for awhile before he went in to be tested). He wasn’t formally diagnosed with AIDS until 1987, and didn’t tell the band for two years after that. But Mays is a smart man and seems intuitive. Maybe he didn’t know, but “knew,” if that makes sense, because this song in the context of Freddie’s life is just so poignant.

love ya m8:) hugs from sweden u are just awsome..every reaction u do is soo good.

Totally dig your vibe lol you're awesome try jelly roll save me

There's a story behind Freddie's half microphone stand. If you watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody which is really Freddie Mercury's biopic you will see one of the first times Freddie sang live with Brian and Roger that he had a little bit of a struggle with the microphone stand and just ended up breaking it. But that then became Freddie's thing.

I think he sang this song shortly after he had heard he had aids. it is a heartbreaking song realising that. 😢 Queen was a great band and will live forever ❤

Did you ever watch the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody"? I never was 'into' Queen that much, but after the movie you get to know the story behind the songs. And off course, that is what makes songs/music come ' alive' 🙏🏻

Highly,......Don't be sad, be greatfull. Try look at this from a different perspective, like this one: "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people will never die because they will never be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place, but who never see the light of day, surpass the amount of sandgraines of the Sahara. Among those unborn ghosts there are certainly greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the group of possible people our DNA allows is so vastly larger than the group of actual people. Despite these staggering odds, you and I, in our mundanity, are here. We privileged few, who against all odds have won the lottery of birth, how dare we whine about our inevitable return to that former state from which the vast majority never stirred? There is greatness in this vision of life, with its various forces, which was originally blown into a few forms or into one. And that while this planet has proceeded according to the fixed law of gravity, from such a simple beginning, endless forms most beautyfull and wonderfull have been, and are being evolved!" Was signed: Richard Dawkins, a British ethologist, evolutionary biologist and popular science writer. I just love, and totally agree with the way Richard Dawkins put that statement, it might be highly philosophical, but when you think of it, he's so damn right.

Queen only played this live 3 times, Wembley, well 4 as they played Wembley twice in 2 days, then knebworth and this was the last time as far as i know. Queen still is to me the best band that ever existed, i mean it wasn't just Freddie, they were all extremely talented, the amount of hits they delivered is unsurpassed.... I challenge anyone to tell me a band that has delivered more hits than them when music was competitive. And Freddie died in their prime, who knows what they would do after, I reckon great things judging by what they did before ( excluding Hot Space, thats the only crappy album to me :P)
