THIS SHOW WAS LIGHTNING!!! |【Queen】Live Aid 1985 Full Concert | REACTION 

MY BAND'S GOT A QUEEN COVER!!!! The Sauce - Another One Bites The Dust (Official Audio) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6eKidFJlqE4.html

A reporter asked Freddie one time what’s your favorite instrument to play? He responded by saying “the audience darling.” What a legend RIP

And I was there.... I danced and sang my heart out for 10 hours... One of the most amazing experiences of my life!!

If you want to, there's a Green Day concert where the entire crowd sings Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish and there are no people on stage, it's simply the song playing before the actual band comes on. It's electric! Such an amazing experience to watch.

Freddie is the greatest front man of all time. An absolutely killer performance. You feel like you saw a full Queen concert. They weren't even advertised, and he had the whole crowd in the palm of his hand. This is how you steal the show.

I'm a 74 year woman who has been a life long Queen fan. Love your reaction, so genuine. (From UK)

It was an amazing event. All the artists who were performing had 20 minutes each. Queen's performance has lasted so far 38 years, with many more, long live the music of Queen

It wasn’t only Queen who realized they had been sensational. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the charismatic star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, because they could connect with an audience.”

There is a reason Freddie is referred to as 'The greatest entertainer of all time'. No one has been able to match the sheer energy and passion he bought to the stage.

Queen actually went over on their alloted time for this set, but no one dared stop them. Everyone knew they were witnessing history.

It's worth noting that, remember, this was not a Queen crowd, it was a Live Aid crowd. But during "Radio Ga Ga", they became a Queen crowd. I saw them five times. Best ever.

i watched it live on TV as a 15 y/o..........core memory..

Freddie performed against DR’s orders for this iconic event. He was having severe throat problems and still made history. Your joy is a infectious to watch 😁 Appreciation from Ireland 😁🍀

And to think he had a severe throat infection and was advised by his doctor to NOT sing at this concert. Just an amazing, incredible human. ❤ gone way too soon.

Freddie may be the God of the stage, but Brian May is a God in his own right. A fantabulous guitarist, but also an astrophysicist!

Freddie did the voice improv thing with the crowd to help warm up his vocal chords to sing in a different tone for the next song. It just turned into a massive thing he did. Which is cool as hell

I was pondering the other day (now aged 51) that 99% of the brilliance of Queen happened in the minority, first twenty years of my life. A remarkable musical achievement for these guys to have compressed so much, from "Seven Seas of Rhye", through to "Show Must Go On", every damn note and lyric crafted, in so little time. Now almost 32 years after the passing of this great craftsman, the material still holds its power. His voice and talent is sorely missed. What else might we have had, both operatic and rock, from him in that lost time?

From what I understand, the response to his call and response at the end of Radio Gaga notably happened among the 72, 000 or os at Wembley but also among the 90,000 or so across the pond in Philadelphia watching it on the big screen. The best 20 minutes of rock and roll EVER!!!!

My Mum and I watched the entirety of “Live Aid”, at home in Belfast. Queen absolutely stole the show as we danced and sang around the kitchen with them. Their performance made us immediately make a second donation to the appeal. This was televised across the world and made a massive impact for the crisis in Ethiopia. So proud to have witnessed this performance live 😊🍀

Queen the BEST band EVER..I was at this concert Freddie totally smashed it..still missing you Freddie 💔 😢 🇬🇧

The greatest frontman ..vocalist..and performer ever...thr GOAT...no one could control an audience like him..them..no one....

I keep saying it, but it's a CRIME that they cut off Freddie's last notes on "We Are the Campions" because IT IS AMAZING!!!

I was there, yes I am that old, one of 72,000 at the old Wembley stadium. A very hot, long day. Started at noon in the UK and went till around 10:30pm. The ticket was £25, which in 1985 was really pricey, but £20 was a "donation" to the Ethiopian famine relief - which was the point of the whole concert. I think the next act in the UK after them was David Bowie. It wasn't directly after, as they tended to flipflop between the stage in Philadelphia, who came into the show later than noon UK time and kept going after the UK finished. Some of the acts were pretty poor, in that they didn't get the brief and played new stuff or just messed around for 20 minutes. This clip is making the rounds at the moment, but cuts off the end of Champions, so hopefully people will find the complete one again. Also, have a look at the separate number, done at the end of the whole show to cover while the stagehands were moving equipment for McCartney, called Is This the World We Created, very different with just Freddie and Brian. Years later, looking at video of the concert I noticed how special the Queen set was, in that the press stopped taking pictures of the band and was watching and taking pictures of the audience, many not Queen fans. Shows the power of Freddie and the band to engage an audience. Thanks for the memories, great reaction!

Freddie Mercury the greatest front man ever. You sir i found you by chance and your reaction was amazing.🤘🏻👍🏻

It was band aid live concert to raise money for Africa Freddie came on and performed like that even though he was just getting over a bad throat infection he's a legend

It’s said that Freddy had a clock and knew exactly how much time every single part took. He knew how much time he had for goofing around and he was within seconds of the time allowed to Queen. Can you imagine how the singer that followed this felt? 🇨🇦

Watching Freddie on stage is surely the most entertaining thing on Earth 👌 We miss him🌹 Best live performance from Queen and maybe of all time 🤟

I have watched many Live Aid reactions...you are the best reaction ever and loved your enthusiasm🥰 thank you❣️👑🎶

Queen were a last minute addition so the people that bought tickets didn't even know they were there but they became Queen fans after a minute

The world was a better place with Freddie in it!! We miss him!! The set-list was brilliant - First song is Bohemian Rhapsody .. Why not? Mega Queen hit! Radio Ga Ga .. Huge crowd participation song! Hammer To Fall .. Getting radio play at that time! Crazy Little Thing Called Love .. Elvis tribute & crowd sees Freddie play the guitar. We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions .. The one-two punch 💥🥊 knock-out!! Later that evening, Freddie & Brian sing Is This The World We Created .. Not written for Live Aid but seems to fit this historic moment!

This is the best freaking reaction I've seen to this, and I'm old enough to remember seeing it live. I was 15. You have taken me back to my youth. I'm mid 50s and will rock till I die. Thank you and ROCK IN PEACE FREDDIE. ❤

This is the high water mark by which all other live performances are measured. Occasionally come close to in the rarest of circumstances (Nightwish at Wacken 2013 for example) but never, ever bettered. "We are the Champions" for me is the greatest song of all time. Compositionally brilliant (the switch from Cm to Eb major as the lyrics get more positive in the build up to the chorus is simple but absolute genius), lyrically powerful, and it's ability to bring thousands of people together as one is unmatched. And this was it's best performance of it because, as others have pointed out, this was not a Queen audience. And yet you could hear so many of them singing along. An immortal monument to the greatest frontman of all time.

Don't know what i enjoy more,your reactions or Queen at Live Aid. You are great. Forget the movie, enjoy in their timeless music. Freddie is one in a million. Thank you 😊

I hope Freddie was "watching You!" Your energy was Priceless!! He is Definitely a Legend!

Being a huge queen fan, you have the best reaction, thank you sir!

I have a mini breakdown every time I watch what “ they “ do to this primo concert now !! Thank goodness I have the full original video… Why in the world would “ they “ cut out Freddie’s greatest note that he was building up to in this masterpiece 😢 TY for your fabulous reaction ✌🏼🥰

I love watching reactions to Queen and seeing the enjoyment of watching a great band. 🤗

Brought me to tears.. I so miss this great talent. Highly appreciate Your appreciation. I'm 66, we had fookin GREAT ASS MUSIC. ... and, we weren't killinng each other.

Love watching your reaction vids. I'm a 71 year old guy from the UK, and I was lucky enough to be at this concert. I was 6 rows back from the stage, standing next to the guy with the girl on his shoulders. I've seen many live bands over the years, including Zeppelin (7 times), but I can honestly say this was the greatest live performance I've ever witnessed. I still get goosebumps watching my 32 year old self rockin out with the rest of the crowd. Keep up the great work mate.

First I have to say I have watched at least 100 reactions to this concert and this was the best and most fun I have ever seen! Kudos!! Second, there are other versions that show the emotional ending to We Are The Champions! Here is one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D4DbvPjpKgo.html Live Aid was a worldwide concert to raise funds for a famine in Africa. There were live shows in London at Wembley and also in Philadelphia. Broadcast to billions around the world! The amazing part for Queen is that they weren't even listed on the original set of groups to perform. The tickets were sold out BEFORE Queen signed on, so this wasn't a strictly Queen crowd. Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Elton John, Sting, U2, along with many others performed. The other bands watched monitors backstage but when they HEARD the crowd during Queen they were amazed. David Bowie said "how do I follow that?"! Queen returned to the stage that night at 9:48 to sing one last song, really just Freddie and Brian, Is this the World We Created. It was amazing also! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-riwDo7_GxjM.html

The greatest live performance in the history of great live performances. David Bowie was the next artist to go on stage and he stopped Freddie Mercury as they were leaving and said, "You son of a bitch, how am I supposed to follow that?"

My biggest regret is not seeing Queen live.

When I saw the notification, I came here as fast as I could. Lets go! First.

Love to see your reaction to White Queen, live at Hammersmith.

You’re hysterical

In Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Bryan May changed guitar twice during it. He started on acoustic, swapped to one electric for the middle break and yet another for the outro.

Probably the best reaction that I've seen for this videos 👍🏻👍👍🏻

I was there brother. 👍🙏😎 Awesome day start to finish. this was one of the highlights. Too many to mention but Quo opening the show and Elton John was amazing too. Anyhoo keep rocking big fella. Respect from Scotland brother 🤜🤛

Hammer To Fall was featured in the pop streaming series STRANGER THINGS Season 2: The Spy!! Such a great song for a great show!!

Live Aid was a duel venue festival organized to raise money for the victims of a 2-year famine in Ethiopia. It opened in Wembley Stadium around noon and about 5 hours later, the second venue at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia began. It was broadcast worldwide by 13 satellites to over 1.3 Billion people. There were over 65 acts that performed and Queen stole the show. Paul Gambaccini, who was part of the BBC broadcasting team at Live Aid, recalled the awe among other superstar musicians watching backstage. “Everybody realized that Queen was stealing the show,” said Gambaccini. These were the very words Elton John uttered when he rushed into Mercury’s trailer after the set. “You bastards, you stole the show,” joked the star. “Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody. They walked away being the greatest band you’d ever seen in your life, and it was unbelievable,” said David Grohl of Foo Fighters. “And that’s what made the band so great; that’s why they should be recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time because they could connect with an audience.”

Check out White Queen at the Odeon Hammersmith 1975, any song from the Magic Tour Wembley 1986 ( the last concert 😥)...Also, the One Vision documentary... it's a blast!

Now thats a REACTION! And Freddie is SO worth it! 👏👏👏

DRAGON ATTACK MONTREAL '81!!!

This was the highlight of the Day , I remember watching all of Live Aid on TV.... but queen blew them all away .... the ' Note heard around the the world ' where Freddie led 72,000 people in a spine-tingling vocal echo and response display that nobody else could of pulled off. Ive heard it said as Bowie passed Freddie to do his set he simply said ' Bastards ' and laughed.... I definitely know Elton stormed In to queens trailer and shouted ' You Bastards stole the show ' which I love .

I've been to 2 Queen concerts,totally awesome,masters.unforgetable to be at Wembley seeing them.

With this concert I was actually there, the last song here on RU-vid we are the champions was cut at the end so you missed the final finally of Freddie at the end so if you get chance watch the full we are the champions live aid.

I think it was Bowie after Queen… he said something like ‘how the f I beat that..”

Greatness 😊 thanks i love your reaction fun fun 😊

One of, if not the best performances ever.

Love your energy brother

I love to see ur happiness and excitement listening to one of the Greatest Bands in the world.

The guys in the movie does such a great job, I recommend watching it more than once.

Yay! More Queen!!!❤❤❤

They were in the middle of Live Aid and the people that followed were exactly what you said, how do I follow that lol That was sold out of course and they made that show! Loved the reaction! When I first saw this I cried lol I remember when Freddie and Eric Carr died on the same day! I was a mess all day because I loved them both! I got teary eyed watching you enjoy it so much! Freddie just hits you know right there❤!

the dvd boxset of the whole liveaid show is great

You have to watch White Queen live at the Odeon. Also You Take My Breath Away live at the Hyde Park

You will totally love Stone Cold Crazy Live at the Rainbow 1974! Metallica covered this song for a Grammy!! Also Now I'm Here live at Wembley 1986!

Dude you are the only one that I've seen react to this that knew the name of hammer to fall

..I Really Loved Your Reaction To This Timeless Classic Video... You Had Me Gigglin My Lil Head Off 😁 Throughout The Whole 21 Minutes...As You Reminded Me Of Myself When I First Saw It Many Years Ago... "Queen Are Phenomenal " And "Freddie Mercury " Is The Legend Of Legends"....A Once In A Century Talent Of A Genius Man " In A World That's Fallen On Such Scary Times THANKYOU For Bringing A Lil Joy Into My Evening... Respect Rach UK x

I am a massive fan of Queen because of my dad, bless his soul and why I have a half sleeve tattoo of this amazing band. When the movie came out it was my birthday and I went to the pictures 4 times to see it, each time with either friends or family and one of those times was a sing a long and it was amazing 😆😆😁😁

A truly wonderful reaction I love your sheer joy , you did the amazing Queen proud .💙💚💙💚UK

Love your energy! Queen is amazing

Crazy little thing called love was Freddie’s tribute to elvis.

Best, most entertaining reactions on youtube man

I love your enthusiastic reaction, just what I needed to put a smile on my face on a Monday morning, thanks

And this was with Freddie having laryngitis the week before the concert. His doctor recommended that he cancel the performance and rest his voice but he ignored the advice and went on to make rock history, singing through the pain.

Imagine having lunch across the street from this guy as your neighbour seeing him throwin his hair back n forth loooool unreal that’s what queens all about!!!

I loved watching your very energetic heartfelt reaction. My favorite band of all time!! Love ❤️ Queen ! Love ❤️ Freddie!

The greatest of the great Freddie and Queen.

Watching you do reactions is like watching the muppet show 😂

I love your reaction, Queen are amazing, looking forward to you doing more

Def Leppard’s movie is amazing too♥️🎶

As another person said , a microphone on one hand and 70,000 people in the other hand. Freddie knew how to hold a crowd.❤❤

I just found you here on YT and man I love you! You're nothing less than awesome! I've been a Queen fan for 40 years and have seen so fuckin many reactions but you???? You make me want to sing and dance along with you!! You make me smile so hard! Thank you for making me happy! *Forever Freddie*

If I remember rightly it was David Bowie that had to follow Queen on stage. Apocryphally Bowie said to Freddie "You bastard! How am I supposed to follow that?!"

This. Reaction. Is. EVERYTHING!! You’re genuine joy and enthusiasm. Love it!!

You’ve never heard of Live Aid???? There was concerts all over the world and big screens in the big parks. ❤❤️🇬🇧

I was rooting for you to react to the full Live Aid🤘

This was Epic❤Just subbed❤Freddie was told by doctors not to perform he had a throat infection and could have ruined his vocals. But in Freddie fashion he said No Darling we will be there.He had a mic in one hand and 90,000 people plus the billion of us watching at home in the other hand😂❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦

I LOVE watching your reactions! Most reactors understand what great musicians Queen are but you get how absolutely COOL and FUN they are. You should be allowed to time travel back to Live Aid because you are one of those special people who appreciate how great Queen is. You jumping up and down and your inability to stop smiling made my day! You're cute, too! 😘 Looking forward to other reactions, especially Queen.

If you have watched the movie by now, you will know Freddie had just told the band he had AIDS. He also had laryngitis the week before the concert. I was fortunate enough to have been at live aid and had seen queen on concert 1982. UNBELIEVABLE! And you are quite right......there will never be another Freddie Mercury. And at the age of 65, I still rock to Queen and all the other outstanding artist of the time. Now I have grandchildren who visit and ask me to play Queen as loud as possible 😂

Queen did practice and rehears for 2 weeks to get the perfect mix of songs and timing to use all 20 minutes they had to deliver maximum content.

My first time seeing you react and my favorite concert. Queen is the best, Freddie is King! I subscribed to see how you react to other groups. You were pumped! Thanks.

This is the best reaction I’ve ever seen on this vid 😂

Omg your reaction is the best I’ve seen!! Does anyone else want to go to a concert with this guy or just me? Lol love this

I really enjoyed your reaction. You were proper hyper and made me laugh. I will be looking out for your Queen playlist. My favourite live performance is “somebody to love” live in Montreal. You did that one. “ 👍🏾 Don’t stop me now “ the official video. Is also a favourite of mine. 😁👍🏾

No autotune - or other enhacers - Freddie wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy little thing called love and we are the champions. Roger wrote radio gaga - inspired by his little son - growing up with a French mother, Brian wrote Hammer to fall and We will rock you. John had several hits - but they didn't make it to this concert. They had not -almost - equipment of their own - but put off the limiters - which made them louder. They had no costumes or lights - just themselves and their ability to play music. - limited til 20 minutes .Estimated 1.9 billion viewers in Wembley - philadelfia - and the rest of the world via 13 satellites. I was there - in Denmark.They cut it - - always use the Queen official videos - . How shall we top that - Bastards David Bowie/ Elton John. The best rock performance of all time.

Absolutely love your reaction. MORE QUEEN . I WANT IT ALL SHOW MUST GO ON WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER FREDDIE IN MY DEFENCE BORN TO LOVE YOU. BARCELONA

Only one Queen in the country that day. God bless him. ❤

I have to say, I certainly enjoyed watching you enjoy watching them. To top it off I enjoy queen always!
