What she said! Lol

At the point where Freddie turns from the piano and walks around on stage, it is because Brian May had a problem with his guitar. Freddie "bought" him some time with his interaction with the crowd. You will then see Brian walk back on the stage. They performed so well with each other that they noticed when something wasn't quite right - and backed each other up. Rarely does anyone notice that in the video because they were so flawless in their performances. Just love their music

Yeah, Queen really benefitted from the fact that, actually, ALL of them could sing. They were all decently good vocalists. Roger Taylor was an exceptional vocalist. And then, there was Freddie. In most bands, the lead vocalist is just the only one who CAN sing, or, even, the only one who can PASSIBLY sing, even if they're not actually that good. In Queen, it was that Freddie Mercury was the best singer out of a group of already impressive singers, showing just what a cut above the whole band really was.

The four Queen brothers each finished college. Brian, Roger and John Deacon (Deaky) majored in the sciences. Freddie got his diploma from art school, Ealing Art . I've unsuccessfully searched for his curriculum but Freddie learned, knew and practiced art from many perspectives including tactics for entertaining the fans! I believe Deaky has a masters degree in Electronics, Roger a Bachelor's in Biology and Brian went the full nine yards, has an Astrophysics PhD (Dr. May, he is!.) Freddie applied his artistic training to empowering Queen . All of them as kids loved and played music.

There will never be another Freddie Mercury. RIP

Don Henley in Hotel California would like to discuss. Both bands are God like!!!

I was fortunate to see Queen in concert, back in August of 1981 at the Baltimore Civic Center. Freddie owned the crowd the moment he stepped on the stage. Definitely one of 'those' concerts that I will never forget.

Yes. He can also sing opera. Extremely high-pitched voice when needed.

That was fantastic, he is so talented, the whole band is talented. Great reaction!!

A band filled with four singing, songwriting geniuses. Of all the band's you'd see live that you'd figure could never pull off sounding like their albums, it'd be Pink Floyd and Queen. And yet, as this (and Floyd's stuff) demonstrates, genius can do what few others can.

thanks, guys - everyone knows that Freddie is amazing - but give it up for the BAND, too -- Brian and Roger on those vocals and guitar/drums - and Deaky - slappin' da bass! the timing and tightness of this band LIVE is unmatched!

Something which is often overlooked is how fast Freddie’s vibrato is. It’s naturally faster than the average vocalist.

What can you say? The voice projection is right off the charts. Piano comes second nature to him. The tightness of this band is unreal. The drummer and the bass is right on point. And the stage show is pure Freddy. Always entertaining. Brings the audience right along with him. I’ve seen him one time and what they say is absolutely true. The voice, the band, Brian May does something that you don’t see that much. He plays classic rock even when the song is something entirely different. And it works when Freddie is going full blown broadway.

Freddie Mercury was the greatest frontman in history!!!🤟🔥 Freddie could sing the phone book and I’d still love it.

He was wonderful flamboyant gay guy. Last time I saw Queen, I was front row center, covering the show for the station I worked on - 8 month pregnant. Billy Squire opened. Both bands stared at my belly all night lol. Fredie said afterward he was sure I was going to give birth right then and there. ❤️

You guys are a joy,Freddie..whew..what a loss.

One of my favorite performances by them!! They had so much chemistry with each other and that’s what made them so good and unique! The drummer’s name is Roger Taylor, he was (and still is) an essential part of Queen. It would be great if you reacted to I’m In Love With My Car Live from this same concert, he lead sings the song and plays drums at the same time!

In all the times I've watched different reactions to this song, you are the FIRST one I remember who commented that Freddie knew he NAILED it near the end, when he says "Oh!" right after the big / long "Looooooooooove!". You're absolutely RIGHT, he nailed it, and he KNEW it! 👍😁

With no disrespect to any other performers in this world who are talented singers! There are some truly amazing artists with varying styles, abilities and genre. I believe Freddie was and still is by far the greatest of all time. Not because I love queen' or because I'm English and bias. Its because overtime with learning, listening, watching that I can say what I believe. Gratefully and importantly it's by watching amazing reaction videos such as yours and others that have gained knowledge and understanding of musical performance, techniques, skills and more that Freddies abilities are God like. Showmanship, instrumental ability, transitional ease of vocal styles. Rock, opera, pop (solo album) and power! I love seeing people feel like I do.

I was lucky to see the band in concert the year before and the year after this performance. I was 18 first time I saw them in 1980, third row. Just mind blowing how good and tight they were, and how powerful they were live. This was when they were officially 'best band in the world' in the period 1980-82 when they briefly outsold everyone else and were top of their game.

Freddie Mercury used to work at Heathrow airport before he joined Smile, Roger and Brian’s band before Queen, his voice is pure talent.

The “mic wrangler” is Peter “Ratty” Hince, Freddie and John’s shared personal roadie and head of the crew. Besides wrangling the mic, Ratty was in charge of taking care of John’s backup basses… as Freddie’s instrument was a grand piano and John was very capable and hands-on with his own equipment, Ratty was able to do both jobs… while Roger and Brian each had their own dedicated roadie.
