Great job. I’ve watched the Extreme Queen medley hundreds of times. 👍

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Thank you very much . Me too !! 😁👍🏻

[@jeero]

The same for me :)

[@nunodorgan]

This is my fave concert ever. Really good video, dude!

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

That’s great to hear 😊

[@TheAdyyoung2000]

That concert was the first big gig I ever went to, and still probably the best. I was slightly younger than you, but there are parallels. I had just started out on guitar too and was banging away on a knock off Strat. Extreme's set was the highlight for me. It was such an opportunity for them to put their own music on the global map, but they were classy enough to tip their hat to queen. But they did it so well! Nuno had a new fan that day! Love that you've done this video!

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Ah, you’re so lucky , I would have loved to have been there ! That’s great 😁 They were very classy that day indeed Thanks for enjoying my video and leaving the comment . Much appreciated 😊

[@jeroenbakker9296]

Awesome! You also captured the Nuno / Brian sound... very well done!

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Thanks very much for your comments Jeroen, very much appreciated 😊

Wonderful work, Craig. You Channelled the spirit and energy tremendously. I especially loved those arpeggios on I Want to Break Free and Radio Gaga.

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Thank you very much for saying so David , and for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated . Glad you enjoyed it 😊 all the best

[@davidsavala7286]

@@craigfarleymusician8481 My pleasure. I’m not a guitar player but I always appreciated how Nuno interpreted the original guitar parts as well as the synths, making for truly rockin’ arrangements for that medley. Can you explain to us non guitar players what Nuno did, stylistically and composition wise, especially for more synth based songs like I Want to Break Free and Radio Gaga?

[@alan_oz]

Awesome. It was good to hear what this concert means to you. It looked like you had fun playing this. Thanks for sharing.

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Thank you. Yes, lots of fun to play , plus lots of rewinding for some of the parts to learn what Nuno played back then. Glad you enjoyed, thank you

Great anecdote and excellent performance! ... My greatest regret is that I didn't get to see Extreme live the only time they came to Puerto Rico in the Pornograffitti tour 😔 So great of your part to have seen and met them.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting . Ah, such a shame you didn’t get to see them. Glad you enjoyed my video - my talking and my playing 😊

Awesome playing mate. what an amazing performance from the band, the crowd singing with gary intro to radio gaga always knocks me out of the park, that last Daaaaay-ooooooo is so epic!!!! Thank you for sharing this great video :)

@@craigfarleymusician8481 no problem. I am a massive extreme fan and my brother is a massive queen fan. I was the exact same as you when watching the concert. I had no idea extreme would play a queen set and was in awe of the performance. Even better when Gary got to do hammer to fall too. All the best.

That was a great performance, and probably still one of the best Queen medley ever made. Extreme is not one of my top favorites bands, but their album Waiting For The Punchline is really great, I bought it when it was realeased and still listen to it from time to time.

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Punchline is a great album indeed , my favourite Nuno guitar tone on record too . Thanks for watching 😊

Waiting For The Punchline is my favorite Extreme album too 😉

No no no Pornograffitti all day

[@josephpiazza4420]

That was fantastic. I know the guys and asked Gary about playing at that show and he was so humble about it.

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

@@josephpiazza4420 oh wow, amazing that you know them . Love that ! Yes , I can imagine that from Gary. Such a lovely guy, as they all are. If there is any chance you have some sort of contact with the band, would it be possible for you to point them in the direction of my video to watch it at all please? Particularly Nuno. As you can tell , I am a massive fan , I have tagged and shared it to as many Extreme and band member pages as possible , the public is enjoying what I’ve done a lot, but it would mean everything to me to get a comment, share or like from one of the band ☺️

[@malteraff5237]

Hi Craig! What a really nice idea to make a video about that! I have similar memories about that concert and I feel the same about Extreme and Nuno! I got to know them in autum 1990 and I was in the United States then (I am from Germany). My host family's son was an Extreme fan and I got to know the first album before Pornograffitti. I was also Eddie Fan before and then came Nuno along... In 1992 there came out the "Rest in peace" video and I saw that Nuno has got a new guitar in red. I have discovered and tried out the Padouk-model in the Frankfurt Music fair and I fell in love with that guitar! I could not effort to buy it and in Oktober 1992 I started to build it by myself and it has become as good as the original. Cannot post a picture here. You might find it in the FB group. I wanted to have particular Nuno's guitar, because it has a special recognizable sound! Thanks for sharing your memories and for the good job finding out how to play the medley, you nailt it! Yes you should make a vdeo about how to play it!!!! Thx and hope you will read this! Regards Malte

[@craigfarleymusician8481]

Hi . Thanks for writing your memories and information here, really good to read 😊 I also loved the Paduak model N4 he played on the 3 Sides tour . I managed to buy one of those in 2006, but again , I sadly sold it the same time as my original Alder N4 . They really do look stunning
