I don’t adhere to one genre, just like good music for the sake of good music! I’m old enough to have seen Queen with Freddie in concert at least a dozen times and at the time it felt life altering!

4 guys who could write, play, sing and entertain… John Deacon on bass vastly underrated, Brian May simply a guitar god, Roger Taylor one the best drummers who could sing too and then Freddie leading us all, including the audience. No synths until BoRap. Saw Queen many times in 70’s & 80’s, always a brilliant show that left you wanting more.

Roger Tylor's drumming and background vocals are epic. There was NO electronic or FAKE trickery used, just 4 lads playing their hearts out.

Right -- Freddie was recorded as saying once that he was fortunate to be ina band with two of the best singers in the world (or words to that effect). He was referring to Roger (who has remarkable command of the upper range and a great falsetto) and Brian, who has a very decent rock voice. Both have forged strong solo careers outside of Queen. John never sang on any Queen studio album but did very occasionally contribute to backing vocals live (but really shouldn't have!). Hw was very capable on bass but his stand-out talent and contribution to Queen was his brilliant songwriting, with most of his songs that were recorded on Queen albums going on to be hit singles.

The most prominent backup vocal you hear is provided by the drummer, Roger Taylor, which you will see singing by himself toward the end of the performance. He's got a fantastic voice, as does Brian May, but Roger's voice is pretty amazing. He has a very high falsetto that you really hear in Bohemian Rhapsody but also has a great raspy rock voice. The "call and response" section that sounds like gospel is because Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha Franklin and her style of music. The original official video is pretty amazing too!

There has been no one else in the music world whose death affected me so much, I think that is because he always seemed so perfectly in the moment and intensely alive. It seemed impossible for that to be gone. It made us all feel more alive with him. I am always glad his performances have been kept available, while sometimes the world around him seems to have dated Queen hasn’t seemed a part of that. I was only reading a couple of days ago about how much he was loved, by so many who knew him well, and how much he loved them too. Thinking back he did so much for diversity too, he crossed so many barriers, in fact he just lifted them as if they never existed, because he was so amazingly talented that very few could resist him!

Mercury was a great musician. One of the best rock singers we ever had. He brought Bohemian Rhapsody to the group and described each section to the band,... the headbanger part, the opera part,..... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Most underrated Queen song - who wants to live forever.

RIP Freddy Mercury. One of the best voices ever. Such a powerful voice and fantastic entertainer. We all miss you Freddy ❤❤

Just four guys making music. Legends

There was NO trickery, no added vocals, no electronic manipulation of any kind. This is what they sounded like live pretty much every single time. I grew up with this band and many others. They all lived and died by their own talent and nothing else.

Back then this is the way music was done, it was real and if you weren't good enough to play it live you would not last. It's a absolute shame what has happened to music. It's not the fault of the youth of today, it's the industry that cranks out cheap synthetic crap.

Not only was Freddie a consummate musician but as a student of graphic design, he drew the face on the drum and designed Queen's logo!

If you're going to react to Live Aid, though, please make sure it's the version that doesn't cut the ending! Oh, and I should also mention Freddie's operatic turns with Montserrat Caballe. You really will see how versatile he was.

One of the greatest frontman and rockbands of all time! We miss you, Freddie!!!

Freddie Mercury was the greatest rock singer of all time, just an incredibly powerful voice, that could also hit so many octaves. I was lucky enough to see Queen live, twice back in the late 1970’s at Madison Square Garden. Greatest rock shows I’ve ever seen. Also, it’s funny, today’s youth only know about auto tune, they often ask if Queen is using auto tune. There was no such thing available back then. This is pure singing and talent.

Yes, this is probably my favorite live performance. Another one of theirs which is a fun one to watch is "Under Pressure" at Wembley Stadium - again, he has the crowd in the palm of his hands There was no better front man than Freddie Mercury!

This is one of the best live performances EVER.

I graduated in 1981! What great music! Just pure talent!

What makes Freddie Mercury a LEGEND? His voice, stage presence/best frontman ever, his charisma, and just his overall personality. Oh his very dedicated fans as well, coz I've actually seen a youtube shorts video about Freddie Mercury and BTS imitating his chant for the crowd and it was a bad imitation that people started dissing BTS coz they said it was very disrespectful to Freddie, and no matter how much insult BTS members get in the comments, you will see no BTS fan insulting Freddie coz they were also a fan of him. I mean c'mon Freddie is literally loved by everyone. BTS fans stand no chance to Freddie's fans. He was THAT loved.

I remember the first time I heard Queen as a kid, it stopped me in my tracks. I was used to my parents' music (classical and '50s "golden oldies"), and they sounded so different to anything I'd heard before! I told my parents, "Queen is the best band ever!" (I was probably under 10, and my parents did that little giggle thing when kids say something funny). My dad still doesn't get Freddie & Queen, but my mother does. Her history of classical music can be heard in a lot of Queen's songs. Admittedly, I became a bigger fan of Prince as I got older, but when I hear these amazing performances, I remember that "Queen is the best band ever!"

I was so blessed to be able to see them in Providence RI in 1976! Best show I’ve EVER seen!!!! They were awesome!!

Now you know why we oldies know our music. We had the best to listen to and dance and sing to. I'm telling our parties was epic with this music. I'm from South 🇿🇦

Thank you for a great reaction...Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha Franklin, whom he admired...he had hoped that she would sing it one day🤩

You can tell from watching the band a the end of this piece. They KNEW they absolutely nailed it. This was magic on stage.

This is what live music is all about !!!!

Freddie! There will never be another Freddie! Queen forever! I agree with you - Master Musicians!

Their Live Aid performance is brilliant. There Feddie has full command of the audience. Timed perfectly in the 20 minutes (or so) alloted. Radio Ga-Ga is far from my favorite Queen tune but the performance is perfection on stage. 🤗

Thanks for the great reaction! This whole concert was great! It was filmed over two nights and the band, mostly Freddie, was not happy with the film crew. He purposely switched out costumes to ensure songs could not the spliced. One of my favorite deep dives from this concert is “Save Me”.

I would think you would be blown away if you did reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody .I am 61yrs old and still play Queens music all the time , they made a film about Freddie Mercury and Queen called Bohemian Rhapsody same name as the song . I cried alot watching it , but so wonderful hearing all their music it was brilliant you won't be disappointed, cheers from Australia

What you said about us being lucky to have had Freddie and to have the technology to hear his voice whenever we want is so true!!!! Ill remember that the next time I'm down about having lost him too soon! ❤❤❤
