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

Hey Hey Karen J! Yes! This is my favorite version of this song. Freddie & piano & the sweetest, breathiest vocals. Perfection! Now, onto "White Queen" -Live at the Hammersmith/Odeon 1975. and sometime later, "My Melancholy Blues" - from wherever it's found. QUEEEEEENNNNN Forever!

No they just muted the audience for the official release...

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

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.

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

Freddie and a piano, perfection. Thanks Caleb.

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

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.

basically all Queen live releases have been altered after the fact to correct pitch or add overdubs. They had some live versions that were better than in studio for sure (Love of my Life comes to mind), but definitely not most.

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

I'm a bit ashamed to say this, but I grew up listening to queen, and for a while, I had to keep it a secret from people at my school, everyone had a problem with gay people back then, and they thought queen was for puffs (not my words), they thought the whole band were gay, probably because of I want to break free, and labeled anyone who would dare admit to liking them. I wasn't even gay, but I was that paranoid of people thinking I was it took me a good few years before I built up the courage to tell everyone that I love Queen. Shame on me I guess. ☹️☹️

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

The best performance!! 💞🇬🇷

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..

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Finally Queen😍

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

Freddie voice is so special that no one can copy.

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.

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.

It is actually more difficult to belt in full chest then to sing in falsetto. Freddie sang in falsetto every night that he performed on Impromptus or during Get Down Make Love, in the 80's. An example, Impromptu Queen live Tokyo 1985 kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIqDl7mooZS9mNY.html.

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...

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.)

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

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

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

BEST SONG EVER❤

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

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

There are Queen songs which don't feature all members, like Body Language which is electronic drums and bass! Basically a Freddie solo song on Hot Space album.

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 ❣️👑❣️👑

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" ---

I agree! Just Freddie and. Piano! Amazing!

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

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 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.

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

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.

Makes me feel so sad.👍💖🇬🇧

Such a wonderful love song

Outstanding

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.

Watching you and listening to your comments enjoying this my favorite Freddie performance reduces me to tears. Thank you. Would you react to something by Brian after Freddie died. The tire of my favorite Brian solo is In Another World. He also songs it in Spanish En Otro lugar.

"I prefer this" So do 100 million other listeners ...

Fredie is the only one.....softly..❤

I much prefer this rendition over the studio version!

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.
