Wembly was such an iconic performance (some would say THE performance of their career).

Story is that Freddie was having breakfast when "Ice Ice Baby" came on the radio. He laughed, then called the lawyers. Just a note: this is that same Montreal concert that you saw from "Somebody to Love", where the director ticked-off Freddie. It was filmed over two days, so the band was told to wear the same clothes through out. Freddie randomly removed his shirt, and at one point had on shorts, just as an F--- You to the filming restrictions.

Love how Roger sings and plays the drums with his eyes closed.

Queens concert at Live aid 1985. Considered the best live rock performance. 😊

Check out Queen at LIVE-AID 🔥

“Now I’m Here” live from Wembley 1986 - Roger said it was the hardest song of theirs for him to play the drums on. The whole band was jamming on it 🔥🔥🔥

This is a collaboration between Queen and David Bowie but unfortunately they never got to perform it live together but there is a studio version. When Queen does the song live, Freddie sings Bowie's part and Roger sings Freddie's part. John Deacon (bass) wrote that bassline and the song was born from that. Great song with a powerful message. Thank you for your reaction. White Queen has a killer instrumental portion where Brian's guitar really screams. I'm In Love With My Car has a good drum section if you do the one that is Killer Queen/I'm In Love With My Car medley, Roger sings the whole song and Freddie sings Killer Queen. Dragon Attack for some great bass playing and of course Another One Bites The Dust has a strong bassline as well. There are a lot of killer guitar solos on Queen songs. The more you listen, the more you will hear. Freddie is so iconic that when people first start listening to Queen they tend to get caught up in him and miss the rest...then they start noticing the guitar and after that they will start hearing the bass and drums. Queen is such a well oiled machine that they blend together seamlessly and nobody tries to showboat themselves .

Yes!

Once you 'Get' Queen...They become part of your soul and mental wallpaper. Although now in this 21st century there is so much mystique surrounding Queen, and particularly Freddie's legendary status...We who were privileged to see Queen perform live, knew instinctively that we were witnessing inimitable greatness. I was so very fortunate to attend several of their concerts in different parts of the world in the mid 80's...This band were the perfect storm, and Freddie was the God with pockets full of fairy dust, who ensured each and every ticket holder experienced the absolute time of their lives. Dear Freddie showed us inside his heart...and we will love him forever for it.

Queen immediately sued Vanilla Ice for stealing their riff, and won!!

Under Pressure Wembley Stadium 1986 United Kingdom 🇬🇧 is the best version of Under Pressure I know I attended that concert, the band and Freddie had the crowds in the palm of their hands, great reaction thanks 🙏

Every American who reacts to this is surprised that Queen came up with that guitar rif first.

Same concert.. I'm in love with my car .. roger taylor sings that

I love your reactions to Queen! I have another great request for you... "White Queen Live at the Rainbow 1974". Thank you😀

White queen live at the Odeon 75 is way better

Same concert Montreal, 1981, Somebody To Love,

Check out Queen Medley live at Rainbow 74 ;)

Two legends, one stage, amazing talent.

Love of my life shows his vocal control and the love the crowd has for him. It's impressive

Try some Bowie , a superstar in his own right. I recommend Space Oddity, Star Man , Rebel Rebel, Let's Dance ,Heroes , Modern Love , Life on Mars, Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars, Changes.. & many more! Freddie & Bowie were also friends, going back to when they both were young & struggling. Bowie sang a duet of Under Pressure with Annie Lennox at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. It was stunning! She was a great singer, you may know her as part of a duo,The Eurythmics ( Sweet Dreams are Made of This.) David Bowie & Annie Lennox are both both great singers , friends of Freddie ,& worth learning about & listening to.

I got you! Thanks for the suggestions!

This was a great concert. But in my opinion the Live Aid Concert is one of the greatest live performances for this or any other band. It is a classic. You will really see him command the audience. I bet you find you know a couple of the songs too.

Ice Ice Baby is a real sore point Queen was pissed off that they stole that and tried to pass it off as their own. Queen we're not very happy at this concert they did not like all of restrictions. Although I would listen to save me and you're my best friend before you go to Wembley 86 or 85 Live Aid. Great reaction keep up the good work wonderful distraction from all the Madness going on in the world.

Love your reactions to our boys, but I do wish you'd done this live at Wembley, if just for the great eey oh audience interaction at the beginning. That would have shown you just how powerfully Freddie could control an audience. Maybe another time? Please?

​@@RetroStef I will indeed! You notice in other comments that you are getting more requests for songs from Wembley? And I have another one - "In The Lap Of The Gods" because if you do the Wembley version of this, the video gives you three songs for the price of one, "Lap Of The Gods", "Seven Seas Of Rhye" and "Tear It Up" Can't wait for that one!

Thanks for this little Queen moment . My life is Queen , greetings from germany

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO DAVID BOWIE IS!!!!!????? Wow, son. you have son major musical discoveries ahead of you. 😀 (BTW, I've heard that tickets to this concert cost $15,)

You REALLY need to find the video of their ENTIRE performance at 1986 Wembly LIVE AID concert. Truly bittersweet when he was singing "Who Wants To Live Forever" because at that point he already knew that he was dying. (lots of bands played, but they all agreed that Queen stole the stage. It was his final concert where he still at least APPEARS healthy. He went into a rapid decline after that and eventually passed away. May he TRULY Rest In Peace for his life was far from peaceful)

Thanks, Stef! Yep, Van Winkel totally stole that bass line, got sued and LOST.. lol (now this is LIVE.. not autotune.. this entire band was on fire every time they performed....check out drummer on those high notes, amirite? so happy to see you enjoying it)

Under Pressure from Wembley is the better one

I absolutely love this reaction! From the same concert Montreal 1981, I strongly suggest watching another one bites the dust, dragon attack, and save me.

You MUST watch Queen at Live Aid!!

Go watch some David Bowie music hes a legend in his own rights ! Youll see some great 70s music . .

Great reaction! Suggestions: NOW I'M HERE, live at Wembley...soo fire! andSAVE ME, live in Montreal...his vocals in this song are so beautiful

You should react to Live aid by Queen !!The best preformance of all time🥰

Must watch Live Aid Queen 1985

You will learn these greats, thanks for your videos!

You're right, they stole the greatest riff ever and called it sampling. It's all Queen 👑 Have you ever heard of the song "White Queen " Odeon Hammersmith, Live 1975? This song is hauntingly beautiful and a hidden gem! 👏

This is a great performance, BUT the abaolute show-stopping performance of this song is Live at Wembley 1986. Not only is the performance out of this world, the crowd control Freddie displays will blow your mind! Love the reaction! Oh tea, new sub here!

Queen is made up of four multi-instrumentalists with very diverse influences. In addition, of the four, three members sing. Drummer Roger Taylor was the first member of Queen to record a solo album and maintains an independent career to this day. On his first LP, Fun in Space, Roger sang and played all the instruments except 50% of the synthesizers. Man on Fire (Strange Frontier / 1984) is my favorite song by him.

Check out Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow! Early Queen 👑

What is that camera? That's what cameras looked like back then. You should look up 60's/70's Polaroid camera. They were twice that size and you needed flash bulbs. One bulb had to be put in the camera EVERY TIME you took a picture. My dad had 2 of those cameras. I remember it well.

The live Wembley another great version of this song is better in my opinion.

Ice ice stole this and Queen sued . Love your comments💕

David bowie and freddie Co wrote this that's why it's in title. Vanilla ice lost law suit had to pay Freddy n David plus give credit to his song

queen wrote the riff!, vanilla ice sort of borrowed it, they had a lawsuit but queen and david bowie won in the end

The guy in the blue shirt John wrote the riff that vanilla Ice stole.

Live aid is a great one to have a reaction also do all live versions if available they are better than studio due to freddie stage performance

David bowe friend of Freddy queen

Queen did the riff first Ice stole to for Queen.

If you find a Time Machine, let me know so I can travel back with you to attend a Queen concert!

I got you!

Reps for Queen threatened Vanilla Ice with a copyright infringement lawsuit. In the end, they agreed to a private settlement, although there are articles that claim he paid 4 million for the rights. So Instead of going to court, or paying royalties, Vanilla Ice bought the rights to “Under Pressure” and gave credit to Bowie and Queen on “Ice Ice Baby". Songwriting credits still go to Queen and Bowie. When Ice Ice Baby first came out, Queen fans were furious to hear the copied riff.

Another Van Winkle lie. It went to court, he lost. He did not buy the rights.

You NEED to listen to Marc Martel doing Bohemian Rhapsody. It has been said that Freddie was reincarnated thru him!! You Will be blown away!

0:57 Yeah, Davey Boy is a great singer, but David Bowie was a wrestler! - for those about to correct me, THINK.

Yep they sued his arse

FYI - Queen/Bowie released Under Pressure in 1981. This concert at Rock Montreal is the first time that the song is performed live by Queen. Sadly, Freddie & Bowie never performed it live together. But! Bowie did perform it with Queen featuring Annie Lennox at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Food for thought 👉 Ice Ice Baby was released in 1990 .. That wanker V.I. stole the bass line claiming it was his!! Ummm NO! 😡

Freddie wasn't lit during this concert. He was pissed as hell! The band had agreed to let a movie film company film the 2 Montreal concerts but the film crew got in the band's way both backstage and during the concert. The director even scolded the audience to remain in their seats during the concert and not be loud. That really pissed off the band and especially Freddie. )n the 2nd-night of the two nights in Montreal, Freddie purposely did something to screw up the continuity of the film by changing his clothes out of his t-shirt, jeans, socks, and Adidas. He came back on stage wearing a neckerchief, wristband, white, tight booty shirt, and nothing else. No shirt, no socks, and no shoes. BTW - those weren't adlibs but part of the original song. It was originally recorded as a duet between Freddie and David Bowie. with the band Queen To listen to the original, watch this video (it is a mash-up of two separate concerts since Freddie and David Bowie never sang it live together.)
