Years before electronic augmentation you were either amazing or you weren't, now other skills can compensate for lack in vocals or instruments. It gives us a wider range of music today, but it's hard to be awe struck by raw talent now anything amazing is assumed to be electronically patched. Remember when lip syncing was shameful? Now it's almost the rule because we need it at it's best every time or refunds.

Everyone always comments how Freddie’s voice was awesome etc etc (which it obviously was)... but people often don’t understand how the technical marvel and physicality of his vocal abilities are literally unmatched - so much so that scientists actually proved it! Firstly, not only did he belt out an astonishingly huge range (he was naturally a baritone but commonly sang tenor) but also had crazy agility within this range. He was also capable of sub harmonics (using parts of the voice not naturally used when talking or singing). Then there was his vibrato which rocked at much higher hertz than regular vocalists. His was one of the most performative voices too, with a natural musicality. Wow, just wow! 😮 I wish we rewarded genuine talent like this today, instead of admiring manufactured and often computer fabricated excuses for ‘music’. Love ya Freddie, thanks for sharing your gift!! 💞 👑 🎤

At the time of Live Aid I was serving in the British Royal Marine Commandos in a refugee camp in Ethiopia. We listened to it on the radio. We were surrounded be the horror of the Famine, but when Queen came on the radio those poor soles who were there even reacted in a very positive way. I remember that a lot of us Royal Marine Commandos were crying watching some of the children dancing along, I'm teary eyed just remembering. I looked around at men I had fought alongside, who were tough, hardened Royal Marine Commandos who had fought a life and death war against Argentinian's in 82. By the end of Queen's set we were dancing with the children. It went along way to help build their trust in us. The famine is only one of to many terrible memories I have to count, from 34 years of active service, and 2 years hospitalisation. I only watched it for the first time last year, my son put it on the TV. A lot of memories came back and a lot of tears.

I remember the concert vividly and I think Queen were about the fourth band on. They had had a string of hits but were relatively quiet at that time. Their performance though propelled them into the stratosphere. Freddie was a comet that seared across the sky too briefly. In a way his brilliance and his lifestyle doomed him and at the same time ensured his permanent place in music. What a catalogue of songs Queen have for generations to enjoy.

@barbarjinx3802 3 жыл бұрын

I laughed when you said “did I do all the hits?” Man this set is huge hits. They picked songs people knew world wide. They have 3 greatest hits albums. But their best stuff isn’t on them.

Freddie has such a huge stage presence. You can almost feel the charisma emanating from him. No matter how good you are at playing an instrument, no matter if you have the voice of an angel. If you do not have that 'spark', that little something in your personality, that magic in your soul, that gives you that bit extra, you'll never make it big...

now you see why we wanted you to see this , you just witnessed the greatest live performance ever , david bowie called freddy a bastard when queen went off the stage because david had to follow that up , this was queen at full tilt there was 70 something thousand people at wembly at the same time there was 100 something thousand watching at a simultaneous concert at Philadelphia and several million more watching live around the world and on top of that they wernt even on the billing list till the last moment because the promoters thought that because queen hadnt released a song in a while at that time the promoters figured they wernt relevant enough for the crowd , so all those people are considered " not a typical queen audience " and they stole the show , thats how much of a big deal this was

watching queen concerts is one of the greatest ways to discover their songs, because of the extra adrenaline the live brings to them.

Can't take my eyes off of Freddy on this one. His performance makes my heart pound and leaves me out of breath. His presence and stage & crowd command is something else. This one outshines everybody else. BTW I am pretty sure they also had to consider which songs to play in Live Aid, a benefit concert. They were gathering money for famine in Africa and I think it would have been utterly tasteless to play Another One Bites the Dust in this context.

At that time he was fine he had a bit of sore throat but unlike the film tells us, he wasn't infected. I can never understand how Brian and Roger let that be included in BR film. They knew that day what to do and weren't there to promote a new album but played the hits. It was nearly dead then them and Bowie came on, shame they didn't do Under Pressure together, would have been a great crossover.

Queen prepped for this and you can tell. Each band was allowed “X” amount of time on stage. Queen had it timed to the second. This is evidenced by the strip of lights (green, yellow, red) on stage to signal to the artist(s) how they were on time. If you look from the bands perspective on the floor on the right, when the band plays the last note of the set and Freddie drops his arm, the light turns red. Just perfection.

I remember watching this when I was 10 on T.V. It was amazing. Even as a kid I knew I was seeing something special. This was a benefit concert and they weren’t getting the donations they were expecting then Queen came on and stole the show with a mash-up of some of their great songs. To this day no one has ever topped Queen. Freddie was the greatest frontman in history the Ay-oh part shows how he could memorize a crowd.

If you are learning the history of rock then this is a staple of the course. This show is a perfect way to watch a band show it's love for their fans and the entire crowd reciprocating that love. Once you see this, it stays with you. A piece of music history that should not be missed. I'm so happy you have witnessed this. It wasn't to long after this that Freddie was diagnosed and within a few years he did the video These Are The Days Of Our Lives, and it still breaks my heart every time I see it. He loved us as much as we loved him. Quintessential Rock Star. It's an honor to watch this but I can only watch it through glassy tear filled eyes. But in total admiration for the legend he was.
