Best vocal I've ever heard. Grown man crying over here.

A beautiful song from a beautiful man.

I like how he starts out trying to quiet the crowd to listen to him and by the end of the song you could hear a pin drop. They were captivated

Нельзя повторить. Какая нежность, любовь в каждом слове, боль и страдание, мучение от этой любви. Невозможно слушать без слез. слез. . Лишь один человек мог передать такие эмоции, только Меркьюри и ни кто больше. Человек с пустой душой на это не способен. А у Фреди душа, сердце необыкновенные. Он был очень мягким человеком, ронимым и чувствительным, чувственным, поэтому только он мог спеть так. Сплошная нежность, вымученная нежность, боль. Как же я люблю его, его песни, его голос... Видела в ролике его руки, пальцы, какие же красивые и пластичные у него руки. Человек красив во всем. Таким его создал бог, но забрал слишком рано.

Freddie and a piano, perfection. Thanks Caleb.

The best performance!! 💞🇬🇷

No one had a voice like Freddie he was part of my generation I grew up with his music and after all the concerts I went to I never got to see queen or Elvis my deepest 💔 regrets

Freddie and his piano to perform by more than 100.000 people at this concert. Absolute beautiful.

Theres nobody that could ever deliver a song with more feeling and emotion than Freddie Mercury. And be pitch perfect live. 70s were a great time to be alive. White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 is off the charts beautiful.

What a great performer Freddie was. A true legend!

You’re not alone in preferring this version to the studio one. Most times their live versions are so much better. I could give you many examples, but one you really should give a go is White Queen live in Hammersmith 1975. Freddie’s voice is sublime, and the instrumentals particularly Freddie’s piano and Brian’s guitar are so beautiful it will bring a tear to your eye.

This is very reminiscent of a classical composition / Romantic period. Superb songwriting. Very pure and stripped down.

Totally agree! The best vocals from him EVER!! Brings me to tears everytime I hear it..

He was an interpreter, not merely a "singer". Much like someone who translates language, Freddie's interpretations bring us closer to understanding the music. Everything from the aching vulnerability of his falsetto to the catch of breath just before he sings "you take my breath away" helps us to feel the song and not just hear it.

I agree, this is such a beautiful performance, the vulnerability in his voice. I love Freddie's 70's era, his look, his voice...

Can you imagine this man with vocal training. Personally I'm glad he's not technically perfect. He's at his best raw. His potential had no bounds. RIP Freddie..

I'm ashamed to say I didn't listen to any kind of music when Freddie Mercury and Queen started their amazing performances.no time with 4 kids and work.now that I'm almost 70,I realise what a great vocalist he was and I'm enjoying.He left too soon,sadly

He articulates 'die' as he is dying, 'sigh' as he was sighing, 'shiver' as he was shivering.

Freddie voice is so special that no one can copy.

Finally Queen😍

Freddie sang the album version all by himself (all the harmonies are his)

I can't praise Freddie Mercury enough. He didn't have any vocal training, apart from the school choir, it was just pure God given talent. Amazing.

My favorite song by Freddie

Perfectly exquisite. I've been a fan of Queen and Freddie since the 70s, but continue to be completely awed by his sheer raw talent and the emotion his gorgeous vocals can elicit. He is so greatly missed. Thank you for your lovely reaction, Caleb.

Freddie voice amazing!!!

I've never heard greatness like this before. Its F**KING AWESOME. Hypnotized the crowd it seconds

Freddie is amazing ❤️❤️❤️Queen is amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I love so much this song. ❤Is absolutly amazing.

Fully agree with you! The album version is kind of missing the point with the added layers and guitar parts. This simple, raw version has all the emotion that he felt when he wrote the song. By far my favorite Queen live song/performance.

i know some people say later in the 80’s he wasn‘t able to sing this falsetto anymore in live-performances but if you listen to the montreal-version of „somebody to love“ in 1981 or even the „rock in rio blues“ in 1985 you can hear this falsetto also later or also near the end of their live-performances as it would never have been away. i think later in their career he only chose to sing it more powerful or like he wanted to so he would have to take care of his energy a bit more. in an interview he once stated if people wanted to hear their songs like on the records they should go and listen to the records behind closed doors. due to my observations they‘ve always done their songs slightly different compared to their records even during one and the same tour. but all the versions were always phenomenal. their intention was to give the audience something they wouldn‘t expect especially for people who came to visit their concerts regularly as i‘ve heard in some interview with roger i think.

No one can sing like Freddie from the heart and soul. Only Piano and Freddie are magically listening.

To me, this is the very BEST version of this song! So gorgeous. This song was obviously very personal to Freddie as he shows his insistence that the audience "listen to this one". Ah, Freddie in love!. Next up? Perhaps an assessment of "White Queen" live at Hammersmith/Oden 1975. That is a feast for the eyes & ears as well! Then follow with a nice "My Melancholy Blues" from where ever you find it. Enjoy.

Queen, Queen, Queen!!! Yes!!! 👑👑👑 Freddie was/is an amazing musician, such a wonderful soul, the bigger heart. A true LEGEND 💖💖💖👑👑👑

White Queen - LIVE from the Odeon, Hammersmith is also an amazing LIVE performance... Please react to it :)

I imagine Freddie belted at big venues to be heard by large crowds.

Studio version is also beautiful and longer with many Freddie ´s harmonies💕

people always comment on his phenomenal singing, sometimes missing out on how great songwriters Queen are. They write lyrics their contemporaries would fail to imagine. This song is like a love letter from the 1580s.

The greatest of all time

The studio version is amazing, loaded with harmonies.

This is to cry over so beauty, I love Freddie from the 70’s. And his vib, I chivering deep inside. He and his piano……mesmerizing 👑

Cudo . Cudo , tylko Freddie może tak zaśpiewać. Liryka , poezja i piękny, utalentowany chłopiec.

Freddie Mercury excellent singer 🎶♥🎼♥🎤 Amazing reaction and interpretation !!! 👏👌👍 Thanks for the video 🍀☘🌿

So few react to this performance. So glad you found it Caleb. Imagine seeing them live at this time in their career.

WOW this is the second time I saw you do Queen. I love it. This song was written for David Minns. Thank you❤

Queen had a lot of songs which were not so popular but really are jewels. Like this one.

I love you freddie your one of a kiind

Recently discovered this song. It is absolutely gorgeous. The lyrics combined to Freddie's voice make it one of the most beautiful love song if not the most beautiful ❤ thanks for the video. All the best from France

It's my favorite live performance. I enjoyed watching your reaction to it as I no longer can find people around me whose opinion I treasure who can experience this song for the first time. You made it special. I don't think there's a single person whether a professional or not who will say this is not a great performance, but then again, I've seen vicious criticism of Montserrat Caballe of her best performances on some channels, so I think there are people out there who don't appreciate the pure beauty and talent. I pity them...

One of the most beautiful LOVE SONGS....EVER!!! Thank you Caleb for sharing your insight on the beautiful and much missed Freddie Mercury.

There were approx. 150K people there for this free Queen concert. Roger said they were even hanging from the trees. It was a VERY rowdy crowd as you can tell at the beginning of the song. Part of Freddie's magic was the fact that by just using his quiet falsetto voice and piano he was able to almost completely silence the huge crowd. This is one of my favorite 3 Queen songs. (White Queen live at Hammersmith and Bijou being the other two.)

Freddie is all ......full love....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Freddie Mercury maravilhoso! Que voz que ternura belo . Um piano 🎹 tocado as teclas flutuante............

This is perfection. 💯♥️

so vulnerable...sung on pure emotion based breath. no techniques no, just his love

Thank you for choosing this song - I've never heard it before. Just beautiful, especially at the parts you pointed out. Freddie had a unique voice, pretty special ❤️

I had never heard that song before... WOW...SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I am old enough to have been a young lad listening on a cracking record player to A Day at the races and this song is an extraordinary piece of music. The live version here manages to give it even more passion and a kind of beautiful desperation. Beautiful and thank you for this reaction video

I'm in tears it's so beautiful

I love this version more then the album version too. I wish it had been recorded as single also. As you may have noticed, no other Queen member played or sang on this version, so it could hardly be released as a Queen song. Such a disappointment. Loved your reaction to the Great Freddie Mercury!

Thanks! Finally my wish has been fulfilled. Freddie makes me feel so much emotions the moment he starts singing, Him and the piano is enough for a chilling performance, no heavy instruments nothing. Imagine there are hundreds of concerts that queen didn't filmed, Which has freddie doing all these falsettos and other crazy things. Queen had those concert's soundboards in the archives I doubt they will ever release those, I mean they will be a great listen on Spotify! Waiting for more queen and dimash!

I do wonder how many artists learn thier craft by watching Freddie and Queen, they may not like them but thier musicisionship is like no other, they were/are masters of what they did, and still do, even without Freddie and John.

Did I recommend “exercises in free love”? Freddie in the late 80’s sent a demo tape to Montserrat Caballe (yes the famous opera singer with whom he later recorded) and he sings .... by god he sings .., whether you react to it on channel or not ... it’s a must for you I believe ❣️👑❣️👑

I agree! Just Freddie and. Piano! Amazing!

So BEAUTIFUL....

BEAUTIFUL!! Love this performance. Freddie wrote it for a love interest who he invited to the concert so he could sing it to them!! 💕

Again, thanks Caleb - the more I listen to this version, the more I am impressed and also confused! Freddie has such a beautiful, breathy falsetto - yet, there a a few places where he goes "chest voice" - for even a SECOND or two... so that you can't quite identify it... unique.. I guess would be the word.. yet. that's not enough.. it's "beyond" ---

There's lots of live performances Like this.❤

I very much agree. The live version of this is the BEST!

As an expert on the Queen band once said, we have never heard the best live vocals of Freddie, because these concerts were not filmed.

he also could sing opera .. react to Freddie Mercury - exercises in free love

Great if you do Queen , you'll get all us fans and we won't leave. ❤❤

I would love to have been in the UK in the 70's, the music was epic.

Got to agree Caleb, this is a phenomenal version

I agree. With this one, it should have been just Freddie. I liked the band version but him by himself is BEAUTY!

do you think that Freddie is the greatest voice of all time? for many people he is ...

Listen to the studio version. It will blow u away.

Freddie Mercury is a musical God! There is no one better, not even Dimash. Breathtaking!

One of the very few reaction videos that actually add something to the subject matter. Thanks!

This is one of his best performances, but you should also check out White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 ( A Night At The Odeon). It's breathtaking.

White Queen Live at Odeon, Hammersmith if you want more of this same kind of vocal and piano skills. He is with the whole quartet on this one but it is something you will like, I believe.

Such a wonderful love song

Such a beautiful song, and the live version here gives me goosebumps. Have you done "Dreamer's Ball" live in Paris, with interesting musical effects by Brian May.

TYSM for doing this, Caleb. And pointing out the delicate and ingenious, unique and breathtaking styles Freddie naturally put into this song and the way he sang it. HE MEANT IT it all from his soul. Every word! Every Sound! And it took my own soul away. I miss him....I feel him...I hope he feels me... and us all.

i was at that concert that day, queen were on fire

The thing with Mercury is you always had the sense that he felt what he was singing. I went to a number of Queen's concerts and sometimes he was tired and not perfect (still better than 99% of performers) but his passion and commitment was incredible. He, and the band, had an astonishing connection with the audience.

Caleb I’ve loved your Queen journey and the insight you’ve given into Freddie’s voice from the power ballad “somebody to love,” to the tender “love of my life” and this early Freddie masterpiece. You’ve made it clear in all the videos that Freddie’s voice went on a journey in itself. With this in mind I’d love to hear you react to “who wants to live forever” Wembley 86. It’s a belting number but I would like to see how you analyse Freddie protecting his voice and adapting it due to all the marathon concerts he’d put his voice through. For different reasons it’s still a masterful performance from Freddie but would love to see you breakdown what he does and the journey of his voice in what is one of the last live performances he does. Keep up the good work 👊🏻

Legend Freddie

he was also a brilliantpianist!

BEST SONG EVER❤

Adoro Queen, posso passar horas a ouvir esta maravilha, obrigado pela partilha
