Nobody ever talks about how good Brian looks

[@LorieHassy]

Right! And he is such a nice guy, I want to hug him when I see that smile :D :)

[@billbelzek6748]

He's the smartest one in the band --- women find that sexy

[@carly885]

Yeah I must say I only recently noticed how attractive he is

[@user-fx3op6oz5p]

Cute and beauty like medieval minstrel

[@Ashley-fc7kd]

Right? I’m honestly in love with him

[@Gracegalxc]

We all know we have a crush on the 70’s and 80’s Roger....

[@sgalFreddieMercuryLC]

Freddie

[@lys8322]

yes it’s a rather large crush 😎💗🥰

[@kristatinajero2196]

Freddie!!!😍😍😍😍😍

[@heeymalik]

bold of you to assume we don't have a crush on 90's and nowadays roger too. he can take me yesterday or now or tomorrow and i'd give him all of me and 32 children if he asked

[@kristinmelinamercury8880]

Freddie and (sweet little Rogerina 🤣)

[@mojopin70]

Incredible how Mercury could turn on the confidence and that level of performance a complete contrast to his real quiet shy self...just brilliant, a true world class artist. So missed.

[@carly885]

I'd be intimidated by Roger because he always looks like he's about to laugh at something and you can't figure out what

[@samarnold5531]

carlymusic I’ve always wondered what it was but now I know Thank you so much

[@carronalee]

Freddie in that white jacket......complete and utter rock god.😍😍😍

[@allisenblogstuff1016]

Good to see Freddie looking fabulous as usual.

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

[@boykenapitupulu7357]

always love the way british rock stars talks, always in very well manner, the beatles and queen are such an inspirations for any rock band really..

[@billbelzek6748]

They seem a lot classier than American bands

[@mistresstrian1927]

Bill Belzek Ain’t that the truth.

[@johnhassall1782]

Probably because they're so well educated!

[@montereyharris1277]

Queen were visionaries and they were a decade or so ahead of every other band.❤️❤️ even to this day, no band has ever done what they have done nor crossed the boundaries they have.

[@pattydella4]

It's pretty cool to see Freddie right before he goes out to perform.

[@mariitafer1899]

Roger 😍😍🤗🤗🤗

[@tcbell3694]

Brian was so handsome there! And Freddie was smoking hot, sheer charm! They were all so cute,love Queen,4evah!

[@Gracegalxc]

Ruberman Rodriguez Your soo lucky!! I wasn’t even alive when he was 😭😭😭

[@ilivemylifeforthestarsthat3140]

Live aid was in 85

[@adyani638]

U r lucky. At that time I didnt even have thought of being born. 😔

[@Ermmmm...79]

lol live aid was 1985 so you must of meant wembley 86 oh and you spelled freddie wrong

QUEEN !!! WHO ELSE !!!!!!1!❣❣❣👍👍👍💋💋💋

[@IntoTheStarlight]

can you imagine responding to the interviewer's question 'are you looking forward to the show?' 'absolutely no, not at all' why would anyone ask such silly questions? what kind of answer did you expect?

[@xmOOrage93]

Magnificent Queen ♡♡♡

[@parkviewmo]

Freddie never under dressed--oh wrong, I seem to remember white shorts! Nice video! Thanks!

[@wreckofthehesperas8323]

parkviewmo and barefoot!!

[@editamercado1886]

thanks for sharing...

[@Pascalsmit1971]

Never seen this! Great stuff!! I know the MK without overdubs..was the first Queen concert I ever saw on tv and captured on video..played that a 1000 times! ;-) Especially the note from fat bottomed girls ' Ain't no beauty queens in this LOOOOOcality ' is quite surprising isn't it? XD Great channel! Love it! Keep it up!

[@yrkanak]

1:19 John looks like a sudent ;) But he's a GREAT bassplayer

[@IntoTheStarlight]

80's roger is just FAB! but they all were in the video, really

[@Pabloistify]

Thank you

[@SonshineLady7]

I was getting nervous watching Freddie waiting to go on stage!! I'm a former synchronized swimmer both in age-group when I was 12-17 and in masters at age 35. The feeling while waiting for the music to begin is a mixture of adrenaline and nerves.

[@millie8100]

Jesus Roger*.*:):):)

[@carmennunnally9847]

Love the band

[@Twosharppencils]

That was fabulous thanks. Never seen it before. I did notice Aston McNeil at 1:03

[@unknown-gs8nu]

Damn.. Roger looks like Tom Felton.. Or maybe Tom Felton looks like him

[@anam.fuentes9659]

Tiene un aire, pero Felton está a años luz del atractivo de Roger.

[@ced95570]

if you look attentively at 1.18 you'llsee Freddie's teeshirt mentioned THE WORKS!!! two years before their next album! Is it a sign?

[@robinkershaw]

This takes me back. I went to the Leeds gig that Brian mentions.

[@oneandonlycia5350]

I was at this gig (.First concert 16 years old with Domingo Kent and Roger Bolton. Shortly followed by the who Birmingham nec. 82

[@anastasiapedersen1]

Jim and Freddie 🥰🌈

[@freedischwallin4031]

NO one else noticed Roger and Freddie almost got their hands cut off by The chopper?? 😰

[@TK-zj5hy]

I wonder what's going on in Freddie's head in the minutes before they go on..he looks so calm and collected. I wonder if he ever got nervous before a gig..

[@dianthus__]

T. Kazim/Nikki he definitely did get anxious! tony hadley met him backstage in ‘84 and described him like this: “He was there in his dressing room. He was really, really polite. He was pacing up and down, quite nervous. Very precise and very controlled because he was just about to go onstage. I was overawed. Without a doubt, when you met him you knew you were meeting a star. Freddie knew that too … He knew he was in control.”

[@freesoul1189]

Due to Jim Hutton Freddie was always nervous short before show. I think its great.it tells me that he took it serious, he wanted people to have really great experience.

[@gazx9058]

thanks bye

[@listener86]

@Kacio94 u r welcome. Another upload to come in this days so stay sharp!

I wonder where you got this from? thank you very much

[@ddeftotina]

[@sweetlady7317]

6:39 what was going on there? They looked in shock as if there were some obsessed fans screaming Brian’s name and did crazy stuff!

[@fbrjqueen]

@listener86 I missed this on qz lol hope next upload is a whole concert :PPP

[@llongdong]

Oil it up!!! Slide it on in!!!! Hammer to faaaaaaaaaaaal!!

[@loungejay8555]

3:07 the guy over Brian's right shoulder in the hat looks like Keith Moon.

[@travelupastorm]

That's my brother Rick at 1:44. Do you have any other videos with interviews with him?

[@sweetlady7317]

travelupastorm really...how long he worked for Queen? Must be very proud

[@decodolly1535]

From the Queen gigs I saw around that time, he was damn good at his job and I'd like you to pass on my grateful thanks. "The band shouldn't have anything to worry about except playing for their fans" - I'd suggest that attitude is how you become stage manager for one of the world's greatest bands.

[@goobywooby963]

did u guys see Paul Prenter the Fruit Fly?? i did.

[@kristineirishmayo]

I dont know why someone dislikes this. Get out of this video!!

It’s “Phoebe” Peter Freestone.His Personal assistent

[@mayjoypequiro9215]

Is that Paul Prenter at 6:15?

[@williambinions4205]

May Joy Pequiro I am nearly sure it is Peter Freestone. He and Paul prenter looked so similar at the time they could pass as brothers

He wasnt infected with HIV here but unfortunately was by Sept 1982 after New York.

[@hannykhj]

Wasn't it after back from Munich? 1985 something?

[@angelkisses9226]

Rumours are that he caught it from his “fab three” Kenny the DJ/Radio host was a part of that group including Freddie.

[@angelkisses9226]

The called themselves the Fab Four lol

[@hannykhj]

@@angelkisses9226 not from paul?

[@mojopin70]

@@angelkisses9226 Yes but Freddie caught Hiv earlier than Everett he was in New York clubs going back to the very early 80s where it was rife in comparison to the gay clubs in London where cases in the early 80s were practically zero. He caught it in the clubs of New York where HIV cases were appearing every week from the mid 70s. Freddie was exposed to it from a lover of Gaetan Dugas one of the first gay men in the first wave of deaths in North America. Dugas knowingly infected other men and died in 1984. He was no doubt infected in the 70s. Freddie wasn't infected until the early 80s and died in 91.

[@8bitnitwit]

Roger looks a bit like Super Hans in this video

[@meganclarke2417]

the only thing i know about milton keynes is those damned concrete cows

[@mattiemclean9882]

So funny that Anti Nowhere League are singing "So What?" while Brians talking!!

[@ttsing]

1986 right...? their last live concert ever...

[@peterd440]

Their last ever concert with Mercury and Deacon was at Knebworth in Stevenage in England in 1986.

[@Bensonbitez]

1982 June 5th I believe without having to check. This was at Milton Keynes Bowl.

[@DarrellGregory]

This footage was broadcast as part of the original channel 4 'The Tube' programme.

[@doktorgaming606]

Paul always beside freddie.. :/

[@riddlesford106]

I'm pretty sure that's Peter Freestone. Prenter was skinnier. They did look similar at the time though.

[@pablocontreras708]

6:23.. cocaine bag

[@riddlesford106]

That's actually a bandage that Freddie had on his hand after an argument. Clearly, he didn't want it on him at the concert so he took it off right before going on stage. True pro!
