Drummer Roger Taylor works his ass off, between drumming and giving Freddie the main back up vocals. Gotta love it!

[@themadafaka6839]

Remember that recording scene in the movie..freddie kept making him repeating that part in the song...Roger himself got an underrated badass high pitch vocal.

[@maryhuhnke8496]

Roger is the "secret weapon" of Queen..with that voice ya know only dogs can hear! Y'all know what I mean!

[@p.p.8022]

I love alllllll of them and miss Freddie, but we are so lucky, that we have Mark MARTEL who sounds so much like him. ❤❤ R.I.P Freddie we love you!❤

[@jerryp7721]

Yep. Just listening you’d think they have separate backup singers and it’s Brian and Roger!

[@jerrymcgaghey]

Roger Taylor doesn’t get enough credit for how powerful his vocals are. This performance proves that. He did all of the high range vocals on Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@heatherqualy9143]

Jerry McGaghey I watch every reaction to this performance just to see who gives a Roger credit. Of course, you’re going to notice Freddie’s amazing-ness. And rightfully so. But this shows that he wasn’t Queen, he was a part of Queen. Even vocally, if it had just been Freddie, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. Roger’s voice (and ability to sing while DRUMMING) is fantastic, and this is the best video to hear and see that.

[@lorie-harleyflinchum4726]

Jerry McGaghey My two daughters who have fallen in love with Queen..and think I’m pretty cool to have seen them in concert in their prime..named our new car “Roger” after Roger Taylor. We are going to put his name and some drumsticks on the back 👍🏻 🥁

[@brianbaker3654]

Totally agree my friend. Don't forget that S.O.B. can play drums like a beast too.

[@cristiona22]

Roger is incredible and it shows so well in this video. If you watch Wembley 86 (the Saturday concert) the amount of work he does with singing and drumming is mindblowing. He is so essential to the Queen sound and I always like to see people giving him the credit and kudos he deserves. Rogercam is really worth watching too if you love this guy like I do.

[@angelaa6498]

True words! Love me some Freddie, but Roger's vocals always gave me chills!! He's incredible!

[@laughingachilles]

Everyone in this band was extraordinary. How many bands have a drummer who can sing well? It's just ridiculous that people this talented all came together and melded into the perfection that is Queen.

And Dr Brian was a pretty decent pianist! I loved John playing keys on his "You're My Best Friend." And his lip syncing on a few videos! Oh yeah and that little bit of John playing drums in the One Vision video!

[@MichelleSanGiorgio]

This was Freddie's favorite song. Because it involved Roger's falsetto voice and the sound of John's bass and Brians back-up and guitar. He adored that nobody stood out from the other. 😊

[@danhalstead705]

There's not many bands that can sound this perfect and together in a live concert and not a studio track. Freddie and the gang were SO infused with power and talent that it still literally takes my breath away

[@robind2727]

Hearing Freddie’s voice is like hearing the voice of an old friend that you haven’t seen in a long time. ❤️ We miss you Freddie.

[@lavetha27]

Queen is my favorite band and I believe the best band in history. I adore Mercury, with his four octave voice, and energy...But the most interesting person imo is May on the guitar. Great guitarist and human being. Could have explored space even if he wasn't in a band. I think what makes Queen great is that bands don't often last too long in the music industry, particularly with four completely different, and complimenting personalities. But their character is what kept them together, I think in part because they were so well educated, and they were more sophisticated emotionally than most bands.

[@tanaforet8684]

Totally agree! They worked hard to achieve greatness and they all were so talented in so many aspects. There will NEVER be another band to rival Queen and NEVER EVER be another Freddie Mercury! Legend ♥️

[@paulgallwey8394]

[@levyschroeder8719]

[@BriRog68]

Roger Taylor an absolute monster on drums and backing vocals for Freddie. He could have easily been a frontman in his own right. Four world class musicians gelled perfectly into the phenomenon that is Queen. Rest In Paradise beautiful Freddie 👑🎤🎹🎸❤️🥁👑

[@jimnicosia5934]

They are one of the most educated bands ever, including Brian May (lead) who is a rocket scientist.

[@johnwilson5743]

True. Dr Brian May has a Phd in Astro Physics. John Deacon a 1st class Hons Degree in Electrical Engineering. Roger Taylor a Degree in Biology and was studying to be a Dentist before giving it up to be in Queen full-time. Freddy had a Dip in Arts (Design, I think)

[@guslakis]

And it comes across in their music and lyrics

[@anniegetchergun]

Gus Lakis And their interviews - all four are so eloquent.

[@montereyharris1277]

jim Nicosia two bandmembers with doctorates.. The drummer was a dentist & lead guitarist as an astro physicist and the bass player was in electronics engineer. ❤️

[@scoonman]

jim Nicosia agreed and you can take the “one of” out of it. Until four Phi Beta Kappas from MIT start having charting rock records Queen is safe...

[@parkerh4180]

Seeing your reaction to this makes my cry. Freddie has your heart now I can tell, just like he has ALL of ours. Freddie, you are eternal, you are love and you are within us all.

[@lindarice5549]

There will never be another frontman like Freddie

[@trishcon]

Fantastic performance and I loved your reaction. Another version you should check out is George Michael performing "Somebody to Love" at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. George was great, but the song is proof of what a phenomenal artist Freddie was. His music alone can control the crowd. It's A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!!

[@212x3]

In my humble opinion, he was the greatest front man of all time. What a talent, what a great band.

[@deborahharris-hall386]

I’m going to have to agree with you on that. David Lee Roth is right up there also. Just my humble opinion.

[@Mark13091961]

Jagger? Plant? ... Jagger at least matches for charisma and Plant was a better vocalist as well as being a great front man .... Mercury sure had the charisma though in spades for sure. Opinions

[@julianash2206]

He was the most incredible front man that ever lived

[@MegaSlowburner]

@@Mark13091961 Jagger and Plant are great singers but Freddie was next level. Not because of his vocals or charisma but because unlike the later he put his soul on the stage. And those who think different are just fooling themselves

I have heard this a million times and it still brings tears to my eyes. Not only because it's so good but because it's so sad that Freddie died so young and the world has missed out on almost 28 years of beautiful music he could still be making. Freddie was a pure genius. Nobody will ever touch him.

Amazing, powerful, electrifying Queen. Freddie Mercury, best frontman in rock. He was brilliant. He owned the stage. He was a phenomenon. This touches me on all levels. mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Just my humble opinion. I feel the same way about their Live Aid performance times 10. Wow!

[@stevegarland8643]

I'm a guitarist, piano player, bass, drums and I try my best to sing... but I've always been absolutely blown away by Freddie's ability to play the piano so masterfully and sing 'at all'... some people are hunks of rock, and a very few are bright comets that streak through the universe endlessly... and I can't help but think that as long as there's human civilization there'll be people listening to Freddie and Queen.

[@StephanieStanton]

The most amazing voice to ever grace our ears. Ever. Not up for discussion.

[@williamcozad7427]

My first of more than 350 concerts was Queen & Foghat, February 1976

[@samloveslfc]

Not only were they musically talented, but they were one of the most educated bands as well! Freddie had a degree in graphic art and design and designed the Queen logo with all their astrological signs on it. Brian May, or Dr Brian May has a Phd in Astrophysics and has worked with NASA. Also the guitar he is playing is called the Red Special and he built it with his dad (who was an engineer) when he was a teenager out of odds and ends such as an old mantelpiece, a tabletop, some buttons and a knitting needle! It's still his main guitar to this day. Roger Taylor who started out studying dentistry and ended up with a degree in Biology. And last but never least John Deacon who has a degree in engineering and built an amp for them out of bits he found in a skip! You should check out White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. The way Brians guitar and Freddies piano intertwine is spine tingling.

[@davidhoward2487]

Wonderful info...thanks....

[@susieq9801]

Lfc Rules - When you talk about instruments intertwining, listen to Freddie's piano and Deaky's bass in Millionaire Waltz. The bass is a complex masterpiece.

[@SB-kn6qz]

Yes!! White Queen at the Odeon is one of their most amazing live performances (imo). It's a shame more people don't know it.
