OMG, you did it. Thanks for the reaction. This song is epic.. Freddie’s voice is impeccable. Brian’s solo is monster. Thanks guys.

Chills every time I hear this version. The Piano and Guitar solo's are just magical x

I never could understand why this song wasn't more popular... it's definitely one of their best!!!

Freddie can play that piano. Usually the piano is a backup instrument but Freddie is playing lead with it. So much talent.

I get the chills EVERYTIME I watch this vid! The instrumental plays your soul.

Person: what’s your favorite queen song? Me: yes

The dynamic between keyboards and guitar - it's like a love story.

The more i watch this live version the more and more its becoming my fav live track

Ethereal. The Freddie piano & Brian guitar combo.

Queen II is my favorite early Queen (like, pre-'80s) album. Taken as a whole it almost feels like a Dungeons & Dragons quest. White Queen, Ogre Battle, Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, March of the Black Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye are some of the songs that evoke that kind of poetic, fantastical lyricism.

This is soul food. The music is so pure, Freddie's voice is perfection. This better be playing at the Pearly Gates or I am turning round and heading downstairs !

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

This is the sign that you have arrived as a Queen fan-you discover this performance and it zooms to the top of your favorite performance list.

Some people complain that there is no footage of Brian's solo or Roger's drums during their jam on this video. I guess the camera guy fell in love with Freddie right there...

Absolutely Love this song and in my top 3 Favorite live Queen Performances, gives me chills everytime I watch this👌

THE most underappreciated song ever

It is weird how good they were at so young of an age. It is almost like they were visionaries transmitting these awesome sounds or sonic waves we now know as "classic rock".

Queen 2 - their best album. That and Rainbow Rising set the groundwork for the symphonic metal to come

Love this song. It's from Queen II, their second album, 1974. Freddie wrote The March of The Black Queen. The album had "white side" and a "black side". Black Queen has lot of transitions and tempo changes. I don't think it was ever performed live, but it is definitely worth listening to.

Black Queen was performed live, but only part of it in a medley. Never found the full version :-(

White Queen was from there second album Queen II, the album in my opinion is underrated such a great album, I love this song love seeing Freddie on the piano

Freddie did an opera concert with saprano from Spain called Barcelona in 1987. Very good he could sing anything.

Perhaps my very favorite Queen song...the guitar and piano in this is so hauntingly beautiful. Album Queen II 1974, though Brian wrote this song in like 1968 or 1969.

Yes!! So glad you finally reacted to my personal favorite Queen performance! I love this whole concert at the Hammersmith and Queen II is my favorite Queen album. You just don’t hear music like this any more. The lyrics and the instrumental moves your soul.

After Nightwish, now Queen....... FANTASTIC..... I love this song, but also the march of the black queen. Freddie was a great story teller.

Another one bites the dust live at wembley 1986 great performance

White Queen was on their second albums. Very early. The live performance was Christmas Eve 1975. Freddie had a glass with champagne in it when the song first began because he did a Christmas toast. This was their first live TV show that the BBC invited them to do on the heels of their blockbuster smash Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s the only live performance that Freddie plays in depth on the piano. He was a fabulous piano player, but he never thought he was very good. Please do Now I’m Here live at Wembley 1986. It’s a great rock song with awesome guitar and drums.

Such a great song, it is falling in love put into music. I love their 70's era and Freddie's 70s look. May I suggest you some of their lyrics video : March of the black queen, The prophet's song, Flick of the wrist and Death on two legs, too complicated to do live but so good. I am glad you are diving into Queen's catalogue, we are in for many more great reactions, thank you guys.

Save Me live from Montreal, also Dragon Attack from same concert. Any of the songs from the live Wembley concert, not a lemon in the bunch

I saw them twice in 74 and 75. Just amazing. They did most of this album. Various costume changes. Amazing performances. Don't know of anyone like them anymore.

So epic, so legendary, really awesome...love 70's queen...queen genres...

This is such a wonderful performance...the solos,omg! Loving the vídeos,guys,please don't ever stop! This whole concert is gold! Cheers!! S2

This was off their second album Queen 2. This is Brian Mays favorite album. I have to agree with him. A lot of great songs that I can bet you’ve never heard. Orge battle is one song on this album that’s great. Be warned, this album is very different from their more commercial albums. Very rock and different but in a good way!!

Little Queenie Freddie actually wrote Ogre Battle on the guitar. Brian remarked on how good he was, even though he claimed that he wasn’t.

One of the best piano solos in the history of popular music.

Awesome reaction guys! I am glad you guys reacted to this song. This is from the Queen II album (1974). The album does have a lot of progressive rock, it had a black side and a white side. More examples from this album are Ogre Battle (this song is also considered as one of the first thrash metal songs) and the Fairy Feller's Masterstroke. The most progressive song on this album is The March Of The Black Queen, the song has 11 different sections, it is very complex, therefore they never performed it live in full, but it is a great song. Their most progressive albums were Queen II (1974) and Innuendo (1991). They surprisingly went back to their heavier progressive sound for their last two albums. For something a bit different please react to Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974 and Ogre Battle live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. These songs are considered to be the first thrash metal songs. It is proto thrash. Stone Cold Crazy live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmyGyMRqetfTmcY.html Ogre Battle live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2llybSBY8etdag.html (This is from Queen II) For something with that more heavier Black Sabbath sound, you guys need to check out Son and Daughter and Modern Times rock and Roll, this from their first album Queen I (1973): kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJqZs8upeNuZiMo.html (They were known as a very heavy band).

Young Freddie, LOVE IT!

One of my faves ❤️your reaction!

Love this one so much. You guys need to get headphones though, this is really an amazing piece of music.

The album it is from is Queen II, there second album. My favorite Queen album.

Great reaction! One of my all time favorites! You have to react to Stone Cold Crazy....live at the Rainbow!

This was on the Queen II album,released in 1974. If you ever have those type of questions,Google is your friend.😉

This sound is unmatched by anyone - it simply can't be duplicated. Freddie's vocals and his passion, along with Brian's guitar work. This is an amazing live performance by the entire band - period. Brian and his father built his guitar. The wood came from the mantle of a fireplace from an old English castle. It is a one of a kind, but his sound comes primarily from the Deacy Amp. John Deacon, the bass player was an electronics major at the University and he built a special amp, also one of a kind. He use to use it, but gave it to Brian very early on in the band's formation. Brian used this little amp to create many of the sounds. Listen to "Good Company" from The Night at the Opera album and all of those sounds like trumpets and trombones and the entire roaring 20s jazz sounds are all Brian on the guitar with the Deacy Amp. Brilliant work. There is no argument, he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Name of the album: Queen II (1974), witch to me as a huge Queen fan, is the best one they ever made. Highly progressive. There is a track on this album called; "The March Of The Black Queen", you guys really should listen to. No synths or whats-however, just overdubbing and layering, at some point according to drummer Roger Taylor the 16 track tape was completely blank, lost all of it's oxide layer due to all the layering and overdubbing they did. Unfortunately because of that, the band could never play the complete song live, same happened to Bohemian Rhapsody. But you will have to admit that already in that time, Queen was way ahead of their competitors.

Roger Taylor, the drummer of Queen was going to be the drummer for Genesis, but he didn't take the job, Giving Phil Collins his time to shine 🌞

🤗. One of my two favorite Queen songs. Both of course from the same album. Next Black Queen please.

While my husband had been stationed in Fort Lewis, WA he got to see them live in Seattle in '77...and nobody brought a camera 😊

Cannot get enough of Queen, OMG! Freddy's voice and Brian's guitar just do it for me!

I was there that night in 75, 4th row👍👍🎵🎵🎵

Кто нибудь может повторить подобное? Я не верю в это. Браво Фредди ты неповторимый.

No words for this song, for Freddie's voice, his piano, Brians's guitar, John's bass, and of course Roger drums. Blind blowing, every time.

Magnifico!!!

Thank you thank you thank you for preferring live performances.

Queen is almost always better live. And this is my favorite version of this song, hands down.

one of my all-time fave queen tracks. so haunting.

Radio gaga Live Aid 👍👍👍👍

It's on Queen II. The White Queen is on side one,, March of the Black Queen on side two. The album tells a story,, kind of like the fight between good and evil. It's a amazing album. And yes, similar to early Genesis and Yes. Fun fact, Roger Taylor was offered the drummer spot that was eventually given to Phil Collins. Roger turned it down and stayed with Queen, the right choice.

No se si exista la perfección en una interpretación, pero esto fue excelso!!!

Queen 2, this came off. This was the tour for Night At The Opera.

play the game live at montreal

It's from Queen II. 2 other great tracks from that album The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke (together with Nevermore) March of the Black Queen.

Such a beautiful, haunting, song, written by Brian and sung by Freddie. One of my favorites. It's from their second album, Queen II.

Early metal sound, even Metallica played this one.

From their early work I like songs Great king rat, My fairy king, Lazing on a sunday afternoon, Nevermore, Seaside randevouz. If you want to hear Brian singing - the song ´39. If you want to hear vicious Freddie I recoment Death on two legs (in this case I prefer studio version). I also really like the song Let me in your heart again, the song was realesed in 2014 (I think). One more thing, I realy appreciate that you listen the whole song and then you tell what you think about it. I hate reactors who pause the song so often (sometimes I think every 15 sec) to tell what they think. In my oppinion thy couldn´t enjoy it.

Queen II Fantastic album, every track a classic, you must listen to March of the Black Queen

Another one, “You take my breath away, Live at Hyde Park

You should do March of the Black Queen.....EPIC!

VERY VERY NICE THNK YOU

Take a listen to You Take My Breath Away - Studio & Live versions are both awesome (and completely different). The vocal and gtr harmonies on the studio version are utterly beautiful. Make sure you listen all the way to the end - there is a an Acapella part at the end that is like angels singing.

Here is a link to Under Pressure. Back story. Queen were in the recording studio and David Bowie stopped by. They were talking about doing something together. John Deacon started playing a riff on his bass. They thought it was great. They went out for pizza and when they returned Joh forgot the riff. But Roger remembered it and the rest is history. Though they recorded it they never preformed it live. Roger basically sings the Bowie part. The riff may sound very familiar to you. Vanilla Ice stole it for Ice, Ice, Baby. Queen let it go and didn't go after him kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYqu2NGJgJmzZZM.html

the guitar and piano "train" takes you on an awesome musical journey. And to think Freddie never thought he was a great pianist. Silly man.

For me the end of Queen was in 1980 after the album The Game. Otherwise, one of the best bands ever!

How can you not know this song????

Yeah, comparison to Peter Ganriel-era Genesis makes sense. Brian May was a huge Genesis fan and admired Steve Hackett, the Genesis guitarist at the time. However, to be honest, Queen's sound was so well formed even at such an early stage that it was undeniably anything but Queen. Genesis have never quite been able to make such evocative songs during their prog-rock days. Queen were far better as musicians and songwriters.
