Queen really had it all, never fails to amaze me🥲

The more you listen to them and go through their history, you realize how special they really were.

Hard to believe Freddie had a bad throat infection and performed against doctors orders! They had 20 minutes to perform and then the power would get cut. You can see the red light on stage as they stopped their final note. Ultimate professionals!

This wasn't a Queen only crowd, but Queen stole the show! NOBODY wanted to follow this!!❤

72,000 people in attendance and 1.9 Billion people watching from around the world. Freddie performed against doctors orders with a throat infection.He said it felt like broken glass when he sang. Live Aid made 124 million dollars for famine in Africa. When the boys left the stage a Prince from Dubai donated $1 million

Thank you for taking the time to watch the full concert! Much appreciated.

As has been said many times- on that day, another Queen ruled in England. If anyone was destined to be a rock god, it was Freddie.

They said the acoustics onstage were awful and that they couldn't even hear one another. That's where their professionalism comes into play. They had rehearsed the set extensively beforehand to get the timing right. You can see lots of visual cues between them too. A truly remarkable performance with no autocue, earpieces, etc. They were on fire! Freddie was enjoying himself so much. By the end of the set you could tell his voice was beginning to crack (he wasn't supposed to be singing at all). That's when you can hear Roger singing louder and louder to support him. Again, that shows how professional they were. Very tight band.

It felt like the whole world was tuned in to Live Aid. The most incredible time to come of age

The greatest set in rock history!! R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

Live Aid was a full event with many performers. Queen stole the show.

this is why he is called the greatest showman on earth, he could hold many many thousands in the palm of his hand. a true star, R.I.P. Freddie.❤❤❤

Freddie was so full of life and you can feel how much he loved to perform :) An incredible talent :)

I’m just as mesmerized watching this now as I was at 15 watching this live on tv. Just wish I could’ve seen them in concert before Freddie passed in 1991.

one of the greatest live performances ever!

One of THE great Rock performances ever. RIP Freddie.

It's so nice seeing young people react to Queen 👑 and the best entertainer Freddie freaking Mercury 💕! You young man thank you for keeping this great music 🎶 from years ago alive! 🙏 ❤

The greatest band ever. ❤ And to this date nobody can even come close to Freddie 🥰 Rest in Paradise

All of the proceeds from live aid were donated to feed the people of Africa. This was an all day global event they televised for well over 1.5 billion viewers that started in Australia (Oz for Africa), then broadcast from Wembley and then from Philly which had more than 100k people in attendance. I was at the Philly concert and they broadcast Wembley for us. It was all incredible, and this performance certainly stood out. Phil Collin’s performed in London and also appeared in Philly in the evening which was also unforgettable! Even though it was close to 100 degrees that day, it was truly one of the best days of my life. Not only the music but the spirit of the event and overall caring for others. What a time!

glad you mentioned the drums, have always been frustrated the cameramen did not give Roger more video footage.

🤗 Watching Ready Freddie never gets old! 🥰🐰

You could never put Queen in a genre box. Queen's genre is Queen. They did it all.

There's nothing like Freddy Mercury's love & singing! 😍 we miss ya!

I watched it live on TV, I had just graduated high school. A great time!

This was an all day event with many of the best groups and concerts ran side by side in London and in Philadelphia going back and forth from one venue to the other while the stage was cleared and set up for the next band. Each band was only allowed 20 minutes for their set. This concert was broadcast around the world and everyone I knew was watching/listening to it.

You are a very astute young man. I saw Queen in Wembley stadium london in 1986. Freddy was The Greatest Showman.......❤

Don't forget Queen was FOUR people. The only band where every member wrote at least one #1 hit! Two of their biggest hits "Another one bites the dust" and "You're my best friend" were written by bassist John Deacon who never gets mentioned. Freddie was the charismatic front man but they were a force together. Yes, not a sea of cell phones, just listening to REAL music and seeing the band. Radio gaga is precisely about that....The glow of the radio was our teenage friend back then, our night light. "We watched the stars on video for hours and hours, we have no need to use our ears". Radio "stick around cause we might miss you when we get tired of all these visuals", in other words LISTEN to the music, don't just go for the videos that distract from the music and lack of talent..Speaking of a choir, listen to the audio of "Let me Live". Sounds like gospel.

That is definitely how you hold 72,000 people in the palm of your hand. Absolutely Amazing!!!!!

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.” Their impact was summed up by Geldof. “Queen were absolutely the best band of the day,” the Live Aid organizer said. “They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full. They understood the idea exactly, that it was a global jukebox. They just went and smashed one hit after another. It was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world.”

Live Aid was a charity rock concert. For africa. Big names in music were there, all had 20 minute sets. Wembly stadium is where this is. 80k in the crowd. 1b watched on tv. Its was on all major networks.

Was lucky enough to see Queen in Madison Square Garden decades ago

Can you hear the audience singing along with Freddie? Every song too!

No performer like Freddie...and what a voice! You are right...nothing like a live concert in my era..just you a thousand people and music! I am lucky to have seen The Beatles, Stones, Jethro Tull and Zeppelin live in my 20s...50+ years ago. I still listen to them all every day!

My favourite distraction . . .Queen's Live Aid Concert! Thanks for the reaction.

The magnificent Freddie Mercury ❤ thanks you for the reaction 😊 any Queen live is amazing 😊

This concert started at 12 noon until 10 pm. MANY performers. Everybody got 20 minutes equal time.

Freddie sounded this amazing even after having laryngitis the week before. He performed in spite of his doctor's advice to rest his voice, but he said after the performance that it felt like he was singing with a throat full of glass shards.

Freddie had a really bad sore throat when he did this amazing performance.

Queen, the best rabbit hole you'll ever go down! ❤❤❤❤

Live Aid had many bands here at Wembley Stadium and more in America. This was a charity event for Africa. None of the participants were paid ❤

Widely regarded as the greatest rock concert performance of all time, yet this wasn't a Queen gig! Reliable experts say that over a BILLION people watched this, live! I did: utterly mesmerising!

For a large crowd, Love of My Life, live in Rock in Rio. 250,000 in attendance sing the song to Freddie. It’s amazing.

Roger's drumming and background vocals are epic, and he'd be a lead singer in any other band. And Brian and John can make two guitars sound like 10.

They certainly don’t make music like this anymore. Not saying we don’t have some good musicians these days as there’s always a few, but the 60s- 90s really gave us some pure talent which never gets old. And Queen is at the top of that list. Absolute magic 👌🏼

historic. there will never be an audience this engaged in the cell phone era.☹

I was there at this concert in London. Just an amazing experience. U2, Elton John, The Who. But Queen’s performances were the best.

I don’t remember Wembley stadium being this huge

Tickets for the entire concert for the whole day cost only £25 !!!

If you start with early Queen (73) and go through all of their albums, you'll be amazed at how different their music was and how many later bands loved them and wrote their music to be like them.

I was fortunate enough to be able to go backstage (brother was a roadie that worked the audio) to the simultaneously held Live AID concert held in JFK stadium in Philly.

Man, Freddie Mercury OWNED that strut! He was HOT - men loved him, women loved him... he was a STAR in every sense of the word! RIP Freddie - we miss you! 💖

Born in 1982 love Qunne beautiful man voice talent.

I was born in 1979 and I was 5 (almost 6) when I watched this live on TV. I had no clue how crazy special it was.

And then there's guitarist Brian May. The brilliant and acclaimed astrophysicist. Who worked on the Hubble Telescope. Crazy.

A true original entertaining band. What a performance in front of such an enormous crowd. I'm glad I grew up in that era 🙂 Watching this now so many years later & I'm still jumping up & dancing around. Bless Freddie & Queen. Their place in history is already proven with modern KZfaqrs being amazed at their performance. Great job for keeping it going. Awesome thank you

I was 2 when this concert happened queen / Freddie Mercury will always be a legend

Freddy said to never let his music be blocked.

Thank you…that was a great reaction…I think that the words you were searching for were “the blues”…early Queen is excellent….look for “Liar” live at the Rainbow…each member gets their chance to shine…and the most amazing thing to me is that John Deacon, the bass player is only 23 years old in that performance…check it out…you won’t regret it🤩

Freddie SLAYYYcury

Live Aid lasted for HOURS - we were at home watching it on and off, kinda channel surfing, among the 12 channels we had at the time. LOL! A friend called (our landline) and said "Queen is taking the stage - turn it back on!" We did - and the rest is history! AMAZING! There were tons of great performances, but QUEEN stole the whole damn show!! It was a moment billions of people watching worldwide will never forget.

Welcome back ❤I was 15 when Live Aid happened and it was Epic. I was watching Queen with my Dad. I was already a huge Queen fan and When Freddie played the audience a home it was great. No other band did that only Freddie. He was instructed by his doctor not to perform because he had a throat infection (Freddie at 70 % is better than most at a 100%😂) Freddie said Queen would be there because he wasn't going to miss performing for the crowd at Wembly but mostly the 1.8 billion people watching from home. When Queen was done I realized my Dad became a fan that day as did many. There was all the best bands of the time . David Bowie had to take the stage after Queen and reportly said How The F*CK am I to follow that 😂 Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ BTW I suggest the movie Bohemian Rapsody. It's a great movie about Freddie and Queen you might want to check out on your own time ❤ You were talking about festivals. You should react to some of the acts from Sarstock that took place in Toronto in 2003 there were 500,000 crazy Canadians there and there was 15 acts including The Guess Who, Rush AC/DC and the Rolling Stones headlining. But AC/DC Stole the show. I was about 20 rows back and it was a sea of people and we rocked out til 3am from 12 pm.

You should be wearing your headphones so you don’t miss out ❤

72,000 people at the concert,in the 1980s this was quite a small gathering xx

Yessir

If you download from the official Queen youtube video you should not have any issues with blocking. They are great about that. Of course, now that Sony is in the process of buying the Queen catalog for over a billion dollars I am worried that may change. SO HURRY-and react to all the live Queen videos you can!

Freddie and Brian came back to do the last song of the day, one Freddie wrote called "Is This the World We Created?". Even though it was not written for this occasion, the words were perfect for it.

Love your reaction! I would recommend Somebody to Love live at Montreal but be sure you have your headphones. Keep up the great job 👍

Somebody to Love, live in Montreal is a necessity. You will get cold shivers.

Second of June 1982.i was eighteen,Queen are performing in Edinburgh and Pope John Paul the second is saying mass in Glasgow. God told me Queen have more to teach you than the Pope my son,when it says in the last psalm.Praise the Lord with music ,this is what God meant.

Ive just watched all your reactions great. It makes me sad that after this concert we only had 6 more tears with Freddie before he passed x

Great concert Great Legendary Band!!!!

Check out early Queen. 1974 Rainbow, Stone Cold Crazy, Liar. 1975 Odeon. White Queen. In The Lap of The Gods. Thanks!.

There were more bands back stage waiting to come on when Queen finished their act back stage bands were saying : How do ya follow that: Freddy was a Legend ❤️🕊️ Coming from the UK🇬🇧🕊️

It was multiple bands playing for free to help Ethiopia drought. It was simultaneously aired in America ( Philadelphia ) with American bands playing. So no not everyone at wembley were Queen fans.....they were during & after the concert! Plus Queen were added to the list of acts late so we only knew the day before that they would play! Oh how excited i was to learn this...... they stole the show ❤

No auto tune....no ear monitors just pure talent. Freddie & Queen were one of the few bands who sounded better live simply becaue of the legend Freddie Mercury!

David Bowie was scheduled to go on after Queen. He reportedly said "how the HELL am I supposed to go on after that?"

Did you know that Lady Gaga took her name from Radio Gaga?

Excellent reaction Check it out somebody to love live Montreal thank you

To two men at the beginning are a comedy duo called “Alas smith & Jones’ used be on tv a lot in the 80s 👍🤣

If you want not to be blocked or copyrighted use the Queen official channel to source your material. Another point is queen was a live band,on stage they were electric . 1. Liar,at the Rainbow in London 1974. This very early Queen and you will see they always rocked. Freddie wrote this in the 60's. 2. Now I'm here, Wembley Saturday night concert 1986. This was their last tour after that Freddie was too sick. It such an exciting performance. 3. Want to hear rock shortly before Freddie death? Then try Scandal, written by Brian it explains that it was the press harassing him when he was seperating and planning a divorce also it reflected on how cruel the press was, camping outside his home in the months leading to him having to hide away.

BOhemian Rhapsody he did just the first part of it.

Thanks, Dreezy.. one their most iconic live performances.. everyone was on point.. especially Freddie.. (and no, he had not been diagnosed with AIDS.. but he had a sore throat and was advised not to perform.... still... WFT, right?) Queen was a last-minute addition to the venue.. and it was widely considered that they "stole the show"... appreciate your reaction... (headphones are so key to a Queen listen... lol)

Respect for your video & analysis. I watched this live, back in the day. A year later, summer of `86, I went to Queen live at Slane Castle, Ireland. They were amazing! Live acts these days are all about theatrics, The Show, distraction. Music has lost it`s soul. We need to go back! Let`s have our own reset. The righteous one!!

So mesmerising ❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤

Queen were not just Freddie … Hammer to Fall illustrated that … We Will Rock You was Freddie at his best.

Freddie "mooning" the crowd goes back to his song Death on Two Legs... if you haven't heard it, take a listen... use the lyric video, you want to hear every word, LOL!

ItisGot!!!

You should watch a live version of Tina Turner doing Proud Mary from the 80's or 90's, you would enjoy that

Yup! ❤

Hi…..very, very good react from you 😊 this was not only Queen who was there. This was as list a 16 hour’s tv broadcast. There on Wembley it was about 72.000 wiers. In Philadelphia it was about 94.000 wier’s. And there was ca 1.2 mill tv-wier’s to the bigest consert ever. They play for free to help the Etiopian people to get food. After Queen I think David Bowie came on. The two «police-man» was a komedi-duo Smith and Jones. Very popular at that time, remember I saw them in their oun tv-show. Laf alout of them 😅😅 think that was not autotune, this was pure power from pure music-genuis. I never hear at todays «music»…..only the goos old rock’n roll. My two music-heroes are Freddie and Prince. Please see the movie Purple Rain. Thats almoust a dokumentary from his life all in that movie is about to bee true. Exsept what his dad do to himself. Thats not true. I see that movie over and over. But not the Queen-movie. That should never been made. Freddie show’s his butt to the press, he hated them, they was only intrested in was he gay or not. He was not pure gay, he was bisexual. Here he was HIV+ only him new that then. I have been a huge Queen fan sence 1977 ❤ so I have read and heard so much over the years. I think you shall hear Somebody to love from the Montreal concert in -81. See the hole concert, the you can hear Roger sing his oun song I’m in love with my car. He and Brian was fenomenal backing singers, if you see John Deacon «Deacy» sing the mic are on very law, or of. He think he dont had a voice to sing. If you go back to 74/75 . He was maybee singing with Freddie, or he was lipsinging on a concert the song Liar, there he have a very good bas-solo. Look at the 70’s omg they was so young and more hard rocked, and with ballades too like White Queen, My melankoli blues, Death on two legs (that you must read about 😅) The masj of the black Queen, 39», Seven seas of rye, Dont stop me Now, and many many more. You never go wrong with either Queen or Prince…..I see forverd to see react with you…..❤

Al big bands played 20 minutes each a couple of days , 24 hours a day , no pause . No one got payed , al money went to help the starving in Etiopia . Al TV stations bought rights to broadcast live the whole show live . So technaly the ehole world saw this live 😊

Love You, MD💘

If you haven't seen the movie Bohemian Rapsody, you must see it.

Hay bro ghost love score it's different drums are cool night wish

The officers at the beginnings are comics, not real police officers, hence the humor!

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!++++++!!!!!!!!°!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
