I saw this tour live from the orchestra pit in 1976. We were so close we could touch the stage. Freddie gave me a long stem rose at the end of the night and called me darling. When they played this song they had a smoke machine going and we lit up joints during as we were concealed in the smoky haze, lol. The rose crumbled to dust eventually but I took lots of pictures of the concert and will always have my memory. We also got to shake Brian May’s hand and he let us each request a song. I chose “Keep Yourself Alive” and my best friend chose “Liar”, which they played. My best friend got Roger Taylor’s drumsticks. ✌️♥️🎶

This song will still be heard even when I am an old grandfather and shall always be a timeless masterpiece.

[lilacfiddler]

It’s almost a national anthem, pretty much everyone in the Uk knows all the words, the chords and the solos off by heart

I am 57 years old and I like this channel and the reactions. But I have to say you will never Know the feeling we had in the 70s 80s 90s, every week we had a new masterpiece and we only had the radio to hear them, so we recorded them on cassettes tapes. It sound very old but ¡¡what a wonderful feeling ¡¡

[donnagonatas]

I remember when this was first released. We had never heard anything like it before. Had to listen a few times to appreciate it. This song is a masterpiece! ✌️♥️

After this song came out, Queen became known as one the the biggest bands in the world, and their live show was spectacular. Freddie Mercury's stage presence was incredible, so that every person in the audience felt that he was singing directly to them. I was lucky enough to see them in concert twice in the late 70s and early 80s, and both shows were among the best I had ever attended. Sadly, Freddie Mercury's death effected bass player John Deacon especially badly, to where he gave up music. John was the writer of some of Queen's biggest hits, and he was an extremely talented writer, player and in fact, he was an electrical engineer, and he even designed a custom amplifier for guitarist Brian May, which he used on nearly every Queen album, and he even uses today.

The most epic song ever! Freddie owned the stage! He had four extra teeth, but he never had them extracted because he was concerned that it might affect his performance.

I was born in 1975, the same year this song came out, and to the best of my knowledge, did not hear Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time until 1992, when the Wayne's World movie came out. It was a big movie and Bohemian Rhapsody was prominently featured in it. The song became a big hit again on MTV, Muchmusic, and radio.

[andrewcurtis]

You should watch the Muppets version of this which they did with Queen's approval and original backing track. A total hoot!

[wayneclendenen]

This has been described as rock opera...Hard to believe anyone could assemble a song like this, but here it is... Incredible!!!

[vohbovohborian]

"oh, wow", that's exactly how I feel after every listen.

The song, on the surface, is about a man who has killed and now must face the consequences. He confesses to his mother, then is judged by the court, defies it and then concludes that it was all for nothing, at least that's a way you could interpret it.
The deeper meaning is that the man Freddie killed was the old him, and that for the longest time he had been living a life that wasn't really his own. It could be interpreted as a coming out song. The characters in the operatic section fight for his soul. Like a story, the song ends back where it started. Musically there is a beautiful slowing down of the tempo, even though the music lacks satisfaction until at long last the gong sounds.

And all 4 guys actually playing the instruments n singing!! No synthesizer!! No auto tune!! Just amazing talent!! Def watch the live aid performance!!
Thanks for the revisit!!

[mikeoliver]

Queen's record label didn't want to release this as a single. At 6 minutes long they believed that radio stations wouldn't play it.
The band gave an acetate disc of the song to the famous BBC DJ Kenny Everett and he played it 6 times on the same night. So many phoned the BBC asking how they could buy the single that EMI were forced into releasing it as a single.

[vincentmaniscalco]

This a masterpiece !! Freddie Mercury’s unbelievable vocals are unmatched ! You will never see anything like this again !

[lilang]

There’s this great documentary called “inside the rhapsody” in which the guitarist Brian May and the drummer Roger Taylor go through how the track and music video were put together. I recommend you guys check it out if you’re interested in learning more about the song

[dstern]

I've been showing my 2 year old son this video the past few weeks. To say he's enthralled would be an understatement

[cherylbrown]

Queen used to put on their earlier albums "No Synthesizers!" because they were that musically gifted and to stop critics who praised their Synthesizers work when they didn't use one, not until their later works.
You should check out Killer Queen, the band's first big hit

Two small corrections: Freddie Mercury's nostrils aren't "British skinny". He was born in Zanzibar, and his family were Parsi-Indian (i.e. from Iran via India, so he was an immigrant).
And, back in the day, watching videos was not the common way people listened to music. Radio, record player or cassette player - that's what was used.

[mr.knowitall]

This song is basically a modern version of what in Opera is called a "tragedy".
The protagonist in the story has killed a man, and he now laments the sorrow he's brought on his mother "Didn't mean to make you cry", and ponders his fate with regret "I don't wanna die... I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all".
Then the more traditional opera part is where he begs for forgiveness, saying "Will you let me go?", to which the reply is "No! We will not let you go!".
Then he tells his Mother to let him go, as Beelzebub (Satan) has "a Devil put aside for me" (as his personal torturer).
And the song ends with him resigned to his fate... "Nothing really matters to me".

Watching the two of you grow musically over the last year has been heart warming. Two young passionate intelligent people letting the music, not preconceived notions carry them to a higher stronger awareness has been a joy for me.
