I challenge anybody to find one single artist of the modern era who can stand in front of thousands of people singing their song back to them in such perfect unity that every word is clear and distinct! And look at the front of that audience. No distractions. No "socializing". Everyone is unified in their purpose for being there. To see greatness unfolding before them.

He is one of the greatest singers that ever lived. This song was recorded at Wembley Stadium in the summer of 1986, about a year after Live Aid. It had a capacity of 70,000 people and Queen sold out the *entire* stadium *two* nights in a row.

Knowing now, from your reaction yesterday, about how and why she left him it makes the words so much more poignant and heartbreaking. Oh, also have to say... autotune didn't exist when Queen were recording their songs. Autotune was only officially launched in 1997. Loooong after Freddie had passed away. Of course, there are rumours that some artists used autotune before it's official launch, but only by about a year or so. So, autotune was not available but then, Freddie and the rest of the gang really didn't need it, did they?

Wembley 1986, the year after the band’s legendary performance at Live Aid. I’m glad you’re getting into the live versions as the band were very much made for live performances. It’s so much more enjoyable seeing a band playing in real time and interacting with the audience. Studio versions are often so over produced that the raw live energy is sorely missing and they often sound flat and contrived compared to the live performances. Looking forward to your reaction to Live Aid and specifically to see how the performance totally drained Freddie at the very end despite it only being 20+ minutes long (It's thought that he was in the early stages of full blown Aids during the mid 80s). You simply can’t capture that energy in a staid, studio performance.
@79BlackRose2 жыл бұрын
Freddie wasn't well at Live Aid, which is why he was knackered after only 20 minutes. IMO the studio versions are wonderful and do not sound flat at all. He could keep doing the vocals until he got it right. Like, "Another One Bites The Dust". He had multiple takes at that before he nailed it. Consequently, it sounds miles better than the live versions.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but Brian May (guitar) and Roger Taylor (drums) are still performing with Adam Lambert as front man. The first thing everyone has to say is he’s no Freddie, which is true. He’ll be the first to tell you that, but Brian and Roger are beyond thrilled to still be performing at 75 and 72, Adam is great in his own right, and they’re still filling stadiums and arenas all over the world. Brian performs this song with the audience and a special surprise at the end.

And this was Queen's final tour with Freddie, their final show being Knebworth nine dates later, as I think by this point he already knew he was ill. Songs you've still not reacted to:. their first hit Killer Queen, Radio Ga Ga that is on the Liveaid setllist, I Want To Break Free with its "controversial" video, It's A Kind Of Magic from the album of the same name this 1986 tour was part of. Leave the two songs The Show Must Go On and These Are The Days Of Our Lives for later, both quite sad as Freddie was seriously ill by that point.

Oh yeah, the lives are always better, and it’s great because they make it sound so much different from their studio versions ( as you learned from listening to both the studio and the live versions of Somebody to love), they always have a fresh take on all their songs and it’s such a joy to listen to them because you know that your getting raw talent and nothing less. I’d definitely recommend though listening to both versions of any songs they’ve performed live because it’s just fun to see how much they’ve played with it and made their own songs different from the original recordings.

You are correct about Mary and Freddie, the song was written from what Freddie thought Mary's perspective would be. Beautiful song. Great reaction

I always cry when I watch this video. What a sad song, but so beautiful.

Me parece fantástico que personas jóvenes y no tanto podamos ver a Queen . Rabia de que se marchara ya pronto. Su voz ❤ un cantante completo . IMPRESIONANTE

Yeah, this was played at Wembley stadium in 1986. You know though if you watch this performance in Japan, he doesn't even have to sing. The Croud knows all the words and could chant it with Brian Rodger and john just doing there thing. Japan loves queen.

Have you done "White Queen live hammersmith odeon 1975" yet? If not I highly suggest that one. Not only hauntingly beautiful but shows the types of sounds Brian can make his guitar do. Also Freddie's talent on piano. AND it's very early Queen. One of my fav's of theirs.
