1988 FREDDIE MERCURY and Cliff Richard are to appear in a special charity performance of Dave Clark’s hit musical Time at London’s Dominion Theatre on Thursday, April 14. All profits from the show will go to the Terrence Higgins Trust and Frontliners for Aids research. Cliff starred in Time for a year when it opened in April 1986 and Freddie sang on the show’s album

[@rickysld]

7:38 I never thought I'd hear Freddie singing live with his later voice!

[@untipo.]

I think "rested" voice is more appropiated, in my defence is recorded in 84 and released in 86 (if you search for "crowd pop festival" he has got a really similar tone, unluckily the rest of the show was in playback).

[@rickysld]

@@untipo. I know that. Here he's got the miracle album voice since most of it was recorded in 1988. With the term "later voice" I'm referring to the tone that Freddie's voice had in the later years.

[@CookieFXTM12]

@@rickysld yes, you can hear Freddie's "late" voice here too 8:00

[@rickysld]

@@CookieFXTM12 Are those B4s? The most effortless B4s of his life

[@CookieFXTM12]

@@rickysld I think so, at that time Freddie starts to lose weight and have a more fragile physiology (obviously, at the same time he started to have a healthier life for his voice), it makes his voice sounds thinner, lighter and brighter, the high notes he hits are sharp and easy, the D5 he hits on Don't Try So Hard seem to have the same difficulty he would have to hit a B4 in the middle 80s (compare to One Year Of Love, sounds similar) and his speaking voice also changed to a tone he didn’t even use in the early 70s, very high see kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4uzfoV5mbVoqsU

It's the first time that I listen to "in my defence" live.. So strange... So wonderful

[@irisfay3968]

Daniela Babette Yeah, before discovering this video, I've always wondered how In My Defense would sound like in a live performance by Freddie? The moment I heard his voice singing it, I know that's the one I've been longing and waiting for.

[@sincerelymike]

@@u_usta_te_kuchiki_ebali He was starting to get pale yes. But his voice didn’t start thinning out until the middle of 1990. His voice was strong here and sounded like it did from 1983-1990. He always sounded amazing.

А еще я заметила, что Фредди пел ниже in my defence, чтобы Клифф мог спеть, ибо если Фредди дал жару, то пение Клаффа выглядело бы не очень, особенно когда они вместе пели

[@MrTayloreh]

Way higher key on In my defence than Freddie ever did in the recording... His vocals sound fab. I can tell even from this recording.

[@AgnesNeray]

He sings here really amazing, on the record he sings it sometimes with higher notes in it and with more passion in his style I think.

Technically Freddie didn’t sing there. It was lip synced. He lost his voice last minute so they had to play the track. This was the last time he actually sang live.

Dave Clark is to blame for not having captured this performance on video. I just can´t see why he didn´t do it - the music is great, and their performance is said to have been outstanding, as well.

[@goosegoose4603]

The flip side is that we now have evidence to suggest that the actual concert was probably recorded in full based off the leaked soundboard recording in "It's in Everyone of Us". Why it hasn't been released remains a mystery.

[@chewymew]

@@goosegoose4603 It's true, the concert was officially recorded, but Freddie asked Dave to not release it. Since at that point, Freddie's was very sick looking, and he didn't want people to see him looking so ill. And I guess Dave is still honouring that

He had some others with Montserrat Caballe, one of which was after this one (though they sang playback in both), one more playback on his own in German television where he performed the great pretender and as far as I've heard, an unexpected performance in front of a crowd in 1982 where he sang Jailhouse Rock.
