One of the best performances by a band live, Freddie his a God ❤

They could have recorded this live version and put it straight on the album the performance is so flawless.

This song is a piece of art...!!! But it’s beyond the costumes... is about the structure of the song... the lyrics.., the exceptional Brian’s guitar, Roger’s drum and the bass.... John puts the notes where they has must to be..!! No talking yet about Freddie’s voice and performance ... and his piano ..!!! This song is epic... this recording..., well... I have no words... is amazing...!!!!

Soul song. Sheer perfection from the band. And Freddie oh my dear Lord. Mystical.

Love this! Iconic Queen. Freddie and Brian melding on piano and guitar! Awesome. Miss Doe I recommend you speak after watching. We want to hear Freddie and the band and watch your face as you hear. Then after give your comments. Thanks! More Queen!

I was there, 2nd row in & they released B.H.R. ...................what a show👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great reaction. "Haunting" is exactly the right word. Brian was haunted by the fact that he couldn't bring himself to speak with the girl he silently loved. Nobody could do this song, other than Queen. The performance was not just legendary, it was perfection - each and every player's role was done to perfection. What makes this so incredible is the power and the passion. You can actually feel it, it actually grabs you and makes you feel it deep inside. I believe this in Brian's best song and the band gave it supreme justice on this night!!!

I can't help but think Freddie would be ecstatic to know that this performance is celebrated so much today.

I'm addicted to this version. It's beautiful. I get chiills when I hear it, it's so lovely. 💜

5:54 the part that impressed me when I first heard it

Sometimes a random pop up in your feed is the best! You are right, Brian’s ode to unrequited love. In college, he couldn’t even get the courage to talk with her.

One of my favourite Queen video clips. Greatest live vocal ever in the history of mankind

This is early Queen:ANOTHER LEVEL darling. Enjoy the magic!

I love the way the song as he sings "ends as it begins" in the same key and feel. Just as unrequited love does.

Christ this song is such a masterpiece and that guitar solo is what I want to hear when I reach those pearly gates. Fairy fellas masterstroke is a musical extravaganza, Ogre Battle, Liar to name a few

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ I love this performance, Freddie's voice is amazing, his piano skills breathtaking ❤️

Queen was so uniquely diverse. Literally something for everyone in their catalog. This song is a masterpiece. And yes, those Rhapsodic white BRIDAL satin costumes were by Zandra Rhodes, who later designed clothes for Princess Di! (But Freddie found Zandra first!). I could watch this vid all day long...and Brian’s guitar work! Wow!

For me this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i have ever heard.

Unanimously, that rendition is a masterpiece! The reason behind the champagne glass was that since the concert took place and was televised on Christmas Eve, Freddie had just raised a special toast to the audience and the viewers. Freddie actually raised a toast to concert audiences on several occasions.

I listen to queen everyday freddie Mercury his voice is so powerful and magical

This Queen's performance it's so fantastic and epic; The melody, letter, guitar, piano and voice are perfect. Thank you Doe for yours reactions about Queen' videos and also about yourself. I Love it!:)

This is one of their best moments. This is core Queen. When they had progressive elements. Youll love Take my breath away from 1976s A day at the races. Studio version.

Ethereal and haunting - a true masterpiece. The by-play of Freddie's piano and Brian's guitar - speaking in a language at a level so very few of us can achieve, yet all of us can feel within ourselves when we hear it, and thus know it. And, by the way - of all the traits and aspects that cause us to love Queen so unconditionally is that they were the masters of variation. Different style, beat, mood, tempo, effects - every song takes us in a different direction, and we embrace them all!

One of the best songs of theirs, love everything about it - the vocals, the music, the performance.

omg this song really is amazing! Plus Freddie on the piano 🎹... I’ve got goosebumps

Now i'm gonna listen to Queen all day! thx doe

Aww baby girl Watching this in lockdown Lol 😂 2020 Loved you’re reaction brought back first thoughts I was at Hammersmith that night & had to go away to take in what I’d heard To date this is far and away my most favourite Freddie performance.. Just iconic If you liked this You must listen to March if the black queen ... I love that your generation discovering this iconic band ... stay safe baby girl 👧 xccc

Try these: “March of the Black Queen” “Liar” “Nevermore” “ My Fairy King”

THIS is true Queen in all Her 1970s glory!!! 👑

Beautiful reaction to another Queen masterpiece. Love you and your reactions Miss Doe. May God Bless you keeping you Healthy and Safe 🌹 🌹🇺🇸 🇺🇸

The complete "Queen II" álbum is a great piece of art!!!!!

I have been a huge Queen fan for 50 years, and first owned this song on an old Queen E.P. (four songs) This song is so haunting, try also listening to 'The Garden of Jane Delawney' by Trees. Another haunting song.

I doubt I've heard anyone react to anything off Queen 1. So many great tracks. Yes, it was their first album, but songs like Liar, My Fairy King, Keep Yourself Alive and Great King Rat make it a must have for serious Queen fans.

Kudos for Brian May, what a great guitar 🎸

Beyond stage and costumes Freddie was an amazing singer and musician and in the studio he was amazing but shy

Freddie was dressed as the mythical god 'Mercury' who was the messenger of gods, hence the wings at the bottom of his trousers' sleeves and vest's sleeves. A little piece of advice for you: if asked about a 'live' reaction, please, react to the studio version because this is what the band wanted you to hear first. Especially that Queen tend not to recreate note by note of what's on the album. It'll help you understand any song better ;) This song is from 'Queen II' album - one of their most inspirational and innovative albums. Songs on it mostly relate to mythical & fairytale-like events. Queen is as close to the metal genre as you can get XD

Queen II is my favorite album

Queen ll...best album in rock history...

"That sounds so different than the other Queen songs I listened to!" - That pretty much sums up almost all Queen songs. :-)

Great reaction!! The combined guitar/ piano solo is epic! The story is about a girl Brian adored while being a studend, but he was too insecure to approach her, or she rejected him, I don't have the comlete story at hand. Nevertheless it's about unrequited adortation.

Fabulous. Mesmerizing.

Queen II album......the best album they ever did!

The wingtips on Freddie’s sleeves and the bottom of his pants are a reference to the Roman God Mercury...also known as the Winged Messenger🤩

You 've just picked up a masterpiece...so well played live...Freddie was larger than life...You have good taste btw.Keep it up!

my melancholy blues :)

Freddie and long hair ❤

Great to see you back again reviewing Queen. A nice reaction by the way. This song was written by Brian in 1969 would you believe. Keep the reaction videos coming, glad you're back.

Queen doing what Queen do best. Making amazing diverse music. As for song recommendations. Pick one. They all tend to be amazing!

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁

Best Queen epic song ever.

I really like the way you respect Queen's music. Other "reactioners" hit the stop button every ten seconds and it's not only annoying but also causes great damage to the atmosphere of the songs. Kudos!

Thanks for react video from queen. I like it. Please react another video again from queen ..

Yes the more i listen to it too the more i like it...so different..it fits the outfit really..tnx, nice reaction..

The one word to describe this song is Ethereal

Awesome

The variety of the music of Queen is just so vast. Spread your wings from News of the World, is one of my favourites but not generally covered by anyone or how about when they show off their language skills and sing in Japanese (as they were huge over there).. Teo torriatte. Really enjoy watching you discover more and more Queen.

This song is hauntingly beautiful because it's sad, this man has deep feelings for a woman and doesn't have the courage to walk up and tell her so, he sadly, watches her from afar. It's a song based on a true story that happened to Brian May, the lead guitarist, while in college. Brian wrote it and Freddie Mercury brought it to life in a unique sound and feeling. Thank you for reacting and sharing your thoughts. 👏

Love your Queen reactions. Please react to My Fairy King from Queen's first album. Beautiful lyrics.

Listen to “It’s Late” from their News of the World album. It’s favourite Queen track, with a blistering guitar solo!

To me personally, their best songs are from the early 70s, their earlier works. Simpleminds are also similar in a way, their best songs are from their earlier works, before 1983.

Heyup DD, this was your typical early Queen.

The live version is actually better than the Studio Version.

Just a real MUSICIANS

This song was performed on Christmas Day 1975, which was the very first concert that Queen performed Bohemian Rhapsody live. One must remember, that when Roger Taylor performed this concert, it was with a flu, and he felt really ropey, but did it so as not to let down the fans.

That was great, thank you girl..

Queen II will always be my favourite album of theirs. Masterpiece. Better than A Night at The Opera for me.

Having a queen night thanks to this 5 hours non stop queen it's a good night in store

Love of my life from queen live

I love that Queen's music is so diverse. Queen's catalogue is a Box of Surprises! Never ending fun! :) React to Teo Torriatte for yet something different. Freddie sings in Japanese! And I think you will enjoy Freddie's great look of 1979 ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaqpoamd2q60eqc.html Keep doing your reactions. It's great to see the younger generation surprised! :) Have a lovely day!

Oh and very few Queen songs sound like the other ones. That was the point of Queen

Fantastic!!!

In the lap of the gods is the best singing performance on this concert along with bohemian rhapsody

Somebody to love - live from Montreal 1981

There's quite a variety in their material, but it's always Queen.. lol

I would definetely try to make Freddie’s costumes from that period for myself for a music event lol 😂 So iconic 😬😭😂 That part So sad “her eyes” sounds ambiguous like “Her rise”. Maybe that was the intention 😂 that song is like a painting of a swam in the dark wearing glitter in the dawn. Just Beautiful. Freddie’s Living on my own also has some ambiguity I always thought was one thing but discovered was other. I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t read the lyrics. I will check and tell you when I get them.

Hi Doe, Okay so this is August 2020 🥂 like you mentioned in the text from your giveaway video... 😜 Congratulations with the 1 million views! 🔥👑🥂💛

I don't believe you Doe Darling... Really first time watching it?)) It seems like it was written for such a beautiful queen like you!

If you listen to this you can hear the sequences which they then used in the highlander theme tune wonderful band and has the great pleasure in meeting them in the early 80s brilliant stuff

You could do "In The Lap Of The Gods... revisited" by Queen next, it's from the 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack. It's a short song, so you could do the studio lyrics video, and a live version, maybe Wembley 1986. It starts mellow, but ends in a catchy singalong tune. In earlier times, before We Are The Champions, they often ended their shows with this one. links: studio lyrics video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8uIlrOLqJaxep8.html live at Wembley 1986: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7OYhNymuMXQiXU.html

Love your accent, dear

Queen songs you should listen to, You take my breath away, in only seven days, jealousy, who needs you, my fairy king, orge battle, the March of the black queen, nevermore, the prophets song, if you can't beat them, my meloncoly blues, stone cold crazy

The ones I find underestimated are Lily of The Valley and Nevermore. Two gems from the early days. Others I think are not known and are goodies are: Good old fashioned lover boy, You and I ( those two are similar) Melancholy Blues, Who needs you, Jealousy, In only seven days, Save me, Calling all girls, Keep passing the open windows, It’s a hard life, Teo Torriate Try those.😉 they are incredibly versatile musicians whereas changing musical styles throughout the years many times while keeping the rock and roll feel and remaining incredibly unique with that particular signature sound we instantly know it’s them. White Queen is of the most underestimated songs. It has their early days feel resembling Who wants to live forever, both composed by Brian May. Try the live at the rainbow version. Freddie’s voice is even sharpier and softer. I personally prefer that with the piano. I also enjoy a lot their recordings from bbc sessions from those onyrical fairytale days. Let’s remember they made that good quality music with almost no technological paraphernalia and virtually no money in the beginning. But the talent and pure identity was always there. They’re genius. In my opinion they are accomplished musicians because their sound is good quality but most of all is because their songs reflect a very optimistic feeling attached to them despite some sad or angry songs that are nevertheless still thrilling and charismatic. They vibrate positivety excitement and union. The Beatles are also a similar energy of simplicity and quality. Freddie’s voice is exceptional in every sense.

Magic song...i love freddie❤

Champagne 🍾 .....Freddie drank only champagne 🌺

Love your Vedios

I Love You!

It's funny but Freddie never particularly rated himself as a piano player. I think he felt it was just a means to an end for his expression.

One if the best things about Queen is the sheer diversity of their back catalog. They've touched and slayed- almost every genre under the sun. My recommendations would depend on your taste largely. For instance Sleeping On The Sidewalk (Brian wrote and sung) and My Melancholy Blues (Freddie) are both, well, blues tracks. If you're into the really heavy stuff I'd recommend Stone Cold Crazy and Death On Two Legs. Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon are both 1930s style fun jingles. For John Deacon's cowboy style obsession, listen to Spread Your Wings and You and I. If you want to dip your toe into Queen's rather unfairly infamous disco years, go for Cool Cat and Back Chat. The Millionaire Waltz is, as you probably guess, a sort of modern day waltz, though it has Freddie's signature Bohemian Rhapsody style tempo change ups. But if you really want to hear Bohemian Rhapsody's older sibling, go for the March of The Black Queen. For some extremely short but oh so sweet classical tunes, listen to Nevermore and Lily Of The Valley, though the later is the final part of a seamless medley with Roger sung track Tenement Funster and another hard track, Flick Of The Wrist and they really should be listened together. Some nice ballads are The Night Comes Down and Jealously for the earlier years and One Year Of Love and Don't Try So Hard for the later. I go on with more categories, but I suppose this is more than enough to start off on. Sorry not sorry if I got carried away ;)

Ogre Battle, Hamersmith odeon 1975.

Love this, hope you'll be at vegan campout in a few weeks :D

At 0:39 you have an orb flying by from the right of your head towards the bed. ☮

Cheers DD, Classic Queen............can I suggest you listen to "The Prophets' Song"

"Nevermore" - Which is short and sweet or the epic "Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)". Fantastic reaction video by the way. I really enjoy yours. A later track, maybe "One Year Of Love", Freddie's vocals on this are amazing. I'm not too sure if there is any decent live footage of these 3 tracks though.

Music I grew up as a teen. Oh yeah, those bell bottom pants. Try out ELO ( Electric Light Orchestra).

Can you react to ,,in my defense'' by Freddie Mercury. (I love you videos💞)

I like Rainbow better personally, Freddie's gives the song justice at that show. Freddie and Brian were sick at this show (flu). Plus A Night At The Opera was Freddie's first full tour with Nodules. (He got them in the middle of the Sheer Heart Attack Tour). The last time this was played, (Last Night of The News Of The World Tour) is pretty damn good too.

Hey Doe! Love your reaction videos a lot. If you react to Queen- Under Pressure(Live at Wembley 1986) that'd be great. Thanks and good luck.

Written in 1968.

The entire Queen Two album....White side/black side.

Doe, are you crushing a little on Freddie?;) You’re not alone at least I’ll just put my favourite songs from each of the band members, and none of them are the biggest hits so I hope you haven’t heard them. - Brian: Too much love will kill you (maybe you could do both queen and his own solo version to compare? Freddie’s voice is ofc better but since it’s Bri’s song it gets more emotional) - Freddie: The March of the black queen - John: One year of love (SO underrated btw) - Roger: Drowse
