thinking about queen’s dedication to audience participation. starting with in the lap of the gods revisited which didn��t get as far as they maybe hoped, taking over the entire world with we will rock you just three years later, even continuing with the radio gaga arms and freddie’s ay-oh segment at live aid etc. I remember hearing about how fans used to go to shows just to hear music but not to sing along but queen got fans to sing along, to stomp stomp clap and perform freddie’s vocal exercises. including the fans, letting them be seen and heard was a priority for them, and it’s magical, being at a concert where the whole crowd is singing and moving in unison and you feel connected to every person in the room. and queen always wanted that. they did that for us
