I can't believe the high quality of this video. It's from 1986 yet it could have been recorded yesterday in HD.

[@marguskiis7711]

35 mm film. I was shown in cinemas in Europe and Soviet Union too.

[@anghelabrigitte5273]

I could but It didn't

[@QueceArt]

In Soviet Union was hq videos in cinemas, 1980s

The Hungarians sent back a DSLR to the past. Állítsuk meg a magyar operatőröket! :D :D

[@klaasj7808]

Wow are you really that stupid or what. Has been recorded on film. Can be converted to 8k resolution, 70mm tape even higher. So yes it can be HD, when converted digitally.

[@definoryan5953]

Watching this high quality video make me feel like watching Freddie in 2017. Damn.

I was able to meet freddy when they played wembley in '86, it was only for a few minutes an hour before they started setting up, it was early in the morning and me and my friend at the time had been roaming around since he worked maintenance there. Freddy was with a group of people i never did recognize, definitely wasnt brian or anyone, and we just casually went up to him at this table talking to these people. He turned around and said "A bit early are you?" and without hesitating he immediately shook our hands and asked us if we'd be at the show later. Meanwhile the posse is staring us down haha. We talked about the weather and i showed him a picture of my cat that i'd always carried around with me, he took the picture and said "Well after this i may just have to steal the little gal" and looked at me all serious with his sassy raised eyebrow, then started laughing. Asked him for an autograph and he said he didnt have a pen but said a quick hug would suffice, and suffice it did. I never got the picture of my cat back but i don't mind, i wish i could've told spock that Freddy Mercury stole his picture and called him a girl but he was a cat. I'll always remember that.

The way Freddie looks at Mary, you can see the love he still had for her in his heart.

[@fourkinhench2744]

Vagi peni

[@slimihendawg9612]

Hell yeah, even though he fucked her over to be with a guy, he truly battled with his sexuality..........R.I.P. to a icon!!!!

[@alexjv1370]

Even if he was gay or whatever. I always felt like through the footage and everything even how he treated her wnd even in the movie. He still loved her.

[@davidfoster8318]

He bought her house, left her his, they lived together and travelled together. I think they had a bond beyond what most of us have. They just weren't romantically linked.

[@marcorubio3496]

Video is amazing how it freezes time. Been more than 30 years ago. At this time queen was world famous. I am sure they were multi millionaires too.

[@AntonioO1996]

Freddie after his vocal improvisation with the crowd: in budapest: thank you at wembley: fuck you

[@rockie0708]

Please explain ?

[@AntonioO1996]

+rockie0708 3:20 "thank you" (after finishing the vocal improvisation, this was in budapest) now search for the vocal improvisations that freddie did at wembley ad you'll see what i mean

[@rockie0708]

Yes I get what u meant. Iv seen it. U jogged my memory he was a amzing. Best star ever

[@AntonioO1996]

***** how old are you? have you seen him in live?

[@rockie0708]

+Antonino Costa (Dat Chicken Scout) no I was only a baby when he died. I love him. He's so special. Rare talent. Have u seen him live ?

[@danuberman]

This is an impressive quality video... feels like HD.

[@Ray_2112]

It is. The whole Budapest show is available on Blu-ray...and those little segments like this are in it.

[@matejburian3191]

it is recorded on film tape so the resolution is basically endless, and quality is perfect, thats the reason why film makers still record on film tape :)

[@man.thegreat]

How come you watch a video with 1080p quality and feel like they're hd?

[@1punch_man]

Matej Burian Any idea what this was shot on? What camera? Would this have been Betacam SP?

[@marguskiis7711]

It was shot on 35 mm film, for full lenght movie for cinemas.

[@beuciful]

I‘m Hungarian, from Budapest. In 1986 I was 22 and I WAS there at that concert. ‚Tavaszi szél’ song is really famous song he sang it so beautifully! Freddy M. was an icon, miss him so much :(

[@hoseokswife9039]

Freddie used to look so gentle and friendly, like that kind of person you feel good just by talking to them.

[@izaiaz12]

This looks like it was filmed in 2017, damn

[@msb3235]

That's the wonder of 35 mm film and the reason some movies directors still using it :)

[@ZeWhiteRabbit8]

35 mm doesn't get the praise it deserves.

[@andraslazar2437]

The story is, hungarians didn't have enough money to pay them for the concert. Queen agreed that they pay with making a full lenght high quality film, because they wanted to make a concert on the other side of the iron fence. So until this recording was finished, the whole filmmaking industry stopped, as the best experts worked on it. And now we got the second best recording of Queen live, made in a socialist country.

[@tabiripetrovich517]

for sure it's 1987 because I remember it. my parents were standing by the Danube.

[@jameljointss]

Makes u wonder if Freddie would've looked the same if he was around today

[@Destruction-1990]

"Interview ? Oh don´t be ridiculous ! " - hahaha, gorgeous ! love Freddie so much !!!

[@anghelabrigitte5273]

After that, Freddie said something else, like, "The house of *******, how many bedrooms, today ***************************************, Not a good thing to say in this country, Sorry I didn't say that"

[@chabela001]

Anghela Brigitte "its for sale? jajaj i would like to understand what did he say after that!!

[@ievabrice2587]

The House of Parliament ? Is it for sale ? How many..... how many bedrooms ? Do they have enough servant's quarters ? ...... Not a good thing to say in this country..... Sorry I didn't say that :)

This video was absolutely beautiful. It was in 1986. Hungary is a Beautiful Country, of what we saw!! It looked like Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John, had a fantastic time there. Especially when Freddie drank the Hungarian Liquor. It was funny watching the expression on his face! I loved seeing inside that gorgeous museum. Very beautiful paintings and collectable items!!

WHY IT'S HD: That time it was very rare to shoot Concert films on 35mm (=big screen movie) films (they mostly used video tapes). However, the Hungarian crew managed to get 16(!) 35mm cameras for the show. The band's manager also saved a raw copy if it's "ever to be remastered". And, some years ago, it was :D Digitizing this type of film gets us a quality of at least 4K UHD.

[@MichalVano]

video tapes are a kind of storage, not a kind of shooting material. What do you mean by "they mostly used video tapes"?

[@LuisEduardoGalindo]

Hungarian Rhapsody makes a lot of sense, because Freddie was very influenced by Liszt and Chopin on his favorites chords when writing on the Piano. but (surprisingly) he felt very limited at it (of course he was not), I´d wish he would have carried on in the 80´s but then he met Mike Moran who played just the right notes he loved again. the silent moment at 2:13 is breathtaking and inspiring, the Greatest at his own Art to himself.
