  • 27 years since Live in Rio !!I can't believe it!Miss u Freddie!

  • as i recall this was these two concerts had the most visitors ever visiting a concert of a tour of a band!

    

  • well, its nothing special but same is with the beatles.

  • @nylothc77 And I suppose you know of a band that is 'special'?

  • ♥ Freddie ♥

  • Ohhhh!!!

    Dios te regalamos a daddy yanquee, a wisin & yandel, a don omar, lady gaga y justin bieber... PERO DEVUELVENOS A FREDDY !!!!

  • Queria te estado lá.

  • Where have they sing we will f***ck you :)

  • Freddy is the best Rock n Roll frontman the World has ever known

  • WHY THE FUCK DID I WAS BORN SO LATE? I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE SO BADDDDDDDDD OH

  • Too many people. They were better in England ;)-

  • @gary7466 come on, you're just jealous of such a huge crowd here haha

  • A maior banda de todos os tempos....

    Spó nao é reconhecida como a tal...

  • @dgm1474 Queen did two shows at the festival (on January 11 and January 18) in front of 325,000 people for each night setting a world record for the biggest paying audience ever at the time.

  • queen:i migliori

  • Fantastic!!!

  • Freddie. The most popular gay asian in British history!

    But what a voice. What a band. Queen at Rio will go down in history as much as Nixon in China.

  • @georgemudley Was he necessarily Asian? He was born in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania, Africa...he DID live in India for most of his childhood, though. Is that what you mean? I don't know, I'm just asking.

  • @howellpower3 Hi Hellpower, it was just a joke. Largely about the ability of most prejudiced British people to overlook these things in certain circumstances. Like racially abusing black sports people in other teams but not their own.

    But yes, Freddy was born from Zanzibar, although he was from Asian heritage (Zoroastrian - Indian / Persian, I believe). Also, I suppose you could not label him gay as he was bisexual. Hell of a singer and musician (I nearly said 'though' there, mistakenly)

  • @georgemudley finally someone who doesnt call him gay but BISEXUAL

  • @howellpower3 not sure about what Zanzibar is to the world but India is classed as Asian so im told, but Zanzibar is part of Africa which isn't Asia, so by birth he isn't Asian, or thought some reviews of him call him the first Asian super star, personnally I think of him as a British person, but im bias

  • @georgemudley How discriminatory are you?

  • Freddy forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • During the Tribute to Freddy, it really became clear how good his voice was. There was only one singer getting close(George Michael). The rest was not able to sing a Queen song properly!!

  • @hendrikhaverkamp I though Cary Cherone doin' Hammer to Fall was alright, but yeah, I agree most weren't Freddie..... Freddie is God.... peace+love 2 all.....

  • @hendrikhaverkamp That's because Somebody to Love is sung in falset-voice. If George Michael had to sing Hammer To Fall it would have KILLED him! ;-)

  • I think it was the best concert I've ever seen!!

    Sadly NOT live :-(

  • i like freddie's jacket, it could easily fit in today's fashion

  • no band can put on a show to so many and pull it off like queen....

  • All people who like modern music should realise how shit is its and realise that that isn't proper music and should listen to bands like Queen, Free, Bad Co, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Queen + Paul Rodgers, the Beatles and loads more and realise that this is REAL MUSIC and the Best music because it takes skill and REAL talent to do what Queen Do. Theres More Talent in this music than that is made by some guy on a computer!!!!

  • @m4h51 You are absolutely correct!

  • Comment removed

  • Bieber could learn a thing or two... kid, FREDDIE MERCURY is THE REAL FUCKING LEGEND!!!

  • 250 000 people

  • I really wish I had seen Queen live in concert I did see them live on tv during Live Aid they were the best part of the whole show. I have always loved Queen Freddie Mercury a born showman he is very much missed none of the so called talent have one fifth of Freddie Mercury's talent. RIP Freddie

  • I don't care who or what reads this, Freddie is the best ever vocalist for every rock band to aspire to, a natural classic singer who could reach a high "c" without even trying, gods I love his voice/him, no-oneelse will ever replace him and we are a poorer race for his loss....sniff, soz just fighting back the tears, shit I love Queen!

  • His voice sounds good so far, guitar is ok, the camera sucks though.

    Queen on an "off night" are other bands at their best!

  • is it rock in rio the started @ like 2am in a morning??

  • too right haters suck. FREDDIE IS ROCK N ROLL GOD !

  • freddie the god

  • @dgm1474 ok...but Queen was the best of that day...everybody went to see Queen only...I was one...

  • rock in rio 85 the largest crowd ever !!!!!

  • @xadiko69 I WAS THERE....

  • FUCKING A.

  • Yay!!! more Freddie!!! Thank you for uploading this!! I love you Freddie... greatest frontman and showman ever!!!

  • i missed the fucking eighties, i was too young, what the fuck have i done to deserve this, now there's no shit that can be compared to the fucking eighties. that's sad.

  • @cimenadimanico I missed Queen concerts, too:( I could kick myself.

    get the DVD's not same but theyve got alot of video THANK GOODNESS.

    love QUEEN and Freddie <3

    they can try but no group can ever compare to this one

  • up u ass

  • Awesome

  • judas priest!!rock in rio!!400000!!!!!!!!!!!yeah i know its crazy!!

  • @marioantagorda2469 Be specific, what is garbage?

  • Show fenomenal, Banda sensacional, Freddie Mercury fabuloso!!! SBC-SP BR 03-12-09

  • 3:48, Roger missed the rythm, first time I See that

  • yea...it can happen even to the bestXD probably the last time you'll se a thing like that happen to Taylor too:D

  • Freddie never wore a wig only on the I want to break free video. Love u Freddie

  • He wore a wig in the its a hard life video also :)

  • Yes He wore

    Freddie wore a wig in I'm going slightly mad video too

  • What I never got why edit somebody to love from this it a crowd fav.

  • Freddie sounds tired here. But anyway, if he can sing like that even when his tired, imagine what he could do when he was ready to kick some major ass!

    For sure, the best vocalist that ever stepped on stage!

  • is freddie playing piano on seven seas of rhye. it sounds like the piano intro already started while he was talking

  • this has been heavily edit

  • Well this concert is edited. Freddie sings somebody to love and killer Queen then seven seas of rye. You can find it on here.

  • i love Tie your mother down

  • His voice gave him eternity, Freddie Lives!

  • Freddy Mercury is withouth a doubt the best vocalist of all time!

  • of course ,best frontman for rock band ever ,I didnt know he used to wear a wig,I thought that was his own hair??!!

  • definitely didnt wear a wig

  • hello, just thought i would set this straight, because you are getting a lot of thumbs down which isnt fair because if you took the time you can easily see where you made the mistake - the vid description does make it sound like that but what was meant was that freddie looks smarter with his hair cropped short, rather than long as it had been prior to this at some point. just a simple mistake people, no need for all the thumbs down.

  • are you telling me that Freddie never wore a wig??!! thats not a wig in the "WeWillRockYou" video?!!

  • no, thats his hair - freddie had his hair like that for many years, also noting the lack of a tash. he randomly cropped his hair and grew a tash, resulting in fans throwing razor blades on stage etc - ie "shave the tash off"... we grew to like it tho, and the tash and the short hair became the iconic image of freddie - at least in my mind.

  • yea,yea! the hair in that video looks fake,I was wondering if maybe he had the short hair and just wore the wig for the video,lol, long hair didnt really suit an adult Freddie,as you get older its just uncomfortable and a real pain in the ass to make yourself presentable evryday with long hair ,R.I.P. Freddie the great frontman of Queen!

  • @bigdave09ked

    absolutely !

  • @bigdave09ked Freddie is God.... I don't know how we've made it this long (almost 20 years) without 'em.... peace+love 2 all....

  • @bigdave09ked right

  • @bigdave09ked I second that and the 235666 others can't be wrong!

  • I would just fall in love.

  • ROCK IN RIO IS THE BEST ROCK SHOW EVER !

  • There can be only one... Freddy, we love you!

  • HE WAS THE BEST.

  • I wish I was there.... :(

  • esta es una de las cosas q me arrepiento no haber hecho en mi vida....ir a un concierto de QUEEN!!!!!!  :(

  • well sorry, i meant to reply to poussyledzep.

  • A BRILLIANT SHOW!!!!! Quenn gave them a sho never to forget :) I also want to say sincere condolences for the loss of AF 447 my heart os with evry1 xo

  • Why don't you watch Queen at Live Aid, and then Zeppelin.

    Then tell us who was the better performance? Freddie made two full stadiums clap in unison to Radio Gaga. God knows how many clapped at home, THE WORLD!!!!!

    Plant? All he did was mess up the show and blamed it on poor Phil Collins. Led Zeppelin needed to stay in the seventies. why don't you try singing two hours a day everyday for three months and see if you end up howling?! That is if you can still whisper, let alone make a noise....

  • he's the best...you can't say anything

  • WTF????? Do you really think I would listen to a singer with all the musical kudos of a barn-door in the breeze just because they happen to have blonde hair and big tits??

    OK, so you've tried to listen to him and he makes you retch - its the same difference as every time I personally try to give football a chance, I end up lapsing into a coma. Goes back to the same thing - if it really aggrieves you that much, don't watch it.

  • do Queen and society a favor and just get a life alright?

  • And I have to ask MYself - why are you, yet again ike so many other haters watching damn near 10 minutes of an artist you 'fucking' hate so much??? I can't stand Ashley Simpson but I don't go on her video clips and slag her off because there's a lot of people who think she's the bomb.

    This really fucks me off and I'm fed up with people doing it - IF YOU DON'T LIKE QUEEN DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT - SEEEEEEEEMPLES!!!!!!!

  • How do you mean? He's in perfectly in key, and has a good voice compared to many other artists. He can also work the crowd very well, and keeps everybody energetic. I don't see why you wouldn't like Freddie, there aren't too many better.

    Though I suppose it could be personal opinion, there is enough evidence to support the fact that he is an excellent singer.

  • Nobody is forcing you to listen to him or to harass people who do. We love him because he loved what he was doing and wasn't afraid of showing it, didn't take himself too seriously and sang with emotion and energy. Sure, he could have dressed in black and sang funeral songs, but instead he never changed himself to please others, and as somebody who was bullied for having cancer I found that truly inspirational. I'm sorry that you hate so much, but I hope you will be free from that hate one day.

  • Algeria is you perfect place

  • @1979777 Too f***ing right

  • Machines - um trechinho de Teart It Up e depois Tie Mother Down

  • the shroud is false !!!

  • Hey, take it easy. It was almost 25 years ago. Don´t blame brazilian cameras.

  • qual'è la canzone di apertura delconcerto?

  • la canzone si chiama tie your mother down

  • la canzone di apertura si chiama "machine (or back the humans" si trova nel loro album datato 1984 ovvero "The Works"

  • 8:12 What the heck is behind Roger? Father Death?

  • LOL - oh my - I never noticed that before! What the hell/who the hell is that?

  • Isn't it Crystal Taylor, his personal Assistant/Drum technician?

  • LOOOOOOOL

  • great performance as usual with Queen... but it can`t touch the one from Budapest one year later...

  • Queen weren't on top form??? Man, the brazilian cameras sucked. Don't blame Queen, for God's sake!

  • Check out my Queen videos!

  • F.M.was the best I agree with anybody that sees his talent his private life was of no concern to us ,he did not abuse children and that was important other than that who cares he was the awesome force of Queen Hard to see another one like him in one lifetime bravo Freddy I miss Him I only wish He could give us some more but life ends unfair to such a talent RIP wish and wish maybe we will see someone close to him in Rock very hard to see another one like him.

  • 325000 persone......

  • Wow, John Deacon is really moving around a lot...for him that is. I can almost hear Freddie before the show: "Now, we've got lots of room to move about out there dears, lets use it all, shall we?"
