I love how John always looks like he's in the middle of doing errands. "First, I'm off to the chemist.Done. Off to the mechanic. Done. Gig with the guys....then it's off to the grocers..."

That made me laugh! John was awesome at that concert dancing around doing his own thing, while playing on time.

[@Nanalove56]

@@loz14 he is the best bass player. He doesn't get enough credit. I think he is great!!! It took him awhile to loosen up and do his own thing and be comfortable in his skin!! He was very shy at 1st.

No sound like this in 2019, and never will be! Kind of magic!

[@rogerschmitz5526]

Without any doubt. I am simply amazed at how much the technical support, and engineer of this video captured Queen at it's finest. Everyone from Freddie, Brian May, John Deacon, and last, but definitely not lestly, Roger Taylor. May God save Queen.

[@TheFissionchips]

@@_theporkchopexpress You are currently missing out on the greatest generation of musicians to exist - you just wont hear them playing 3 minute poop songs. Guthrie Govan is the best British guitarist since Alan Holdsworth, but he doesn't play for money and ego - so you probably don't know who he is. brian May couldn't play on the same stage with him without crying.
