[@jasonjukes6899]

Hi Maggie - all the harmonies are Freddy recordred onto reel to reel tape back then - nearly broke the tape machine...

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Fun fact In those harmonies it's all Freddy

[@Jandaracres]

Scaramouche Fandango lyrics are from a Three Muskateers movie. 1952.

[@jacquesbreaux4108]

phil collins air of night (do it)

[@jimvasconcellos]

I saw Queen in Madrid 1979. They sounded EXACTLY the same live as on the record. Straight singing, no autotune, just doubling the vocals and guitar.

[@juanmanuelavendanoclarke8915]

That's what I call talent

[@chrissymc886]

Best frontman in history. He owned the stage, owned the crowd, the presence/charisma was off the charts.

[@clivesharpe1526]

Bohemian Rhapsody was the reason I bought A Night at the Opera. And A Night at the Opera was the reason I bought every Queen album they ever released. Still have them even though I no longer have a way of playing them. Too valuable to me to ever let them go.

[@clivesharpe1526]

Also I saw Queen live on the Magic tour ia Wembley in '86. There was INXS, a band I can't remember and Status Quo in support.

[@jeremywilson2022]

Go out and buy a recordplayer they Sent that expensive.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Freddie was a force of nature.

[@edwardmunoz7853]

They don't make em like that no more ❤ nothing but raw talent 💯🔥

[@robertreed6802]

I was a freshman in high school.

[@pattylyons9645]

Freddie was the ultimate showman

[@beata3091]

*is

[@martincolleran7109]

Brian May's guitar "Red Special" is truly one of a kind. He designed and built it with his father, Harold, when he was a teenager. This was due to him not being able to afford a brand name guitar. If you read into it you will realize how much of a genius Brian May is. Everything on the guitar is custom or modified in some way. The craziest part is the neck which was made out of a 100 year old fireplace mantle that had worm holes that Brian filled with matchsticks and epoxy.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

How cool!

[@humpy936]

That is cool, no wonder he treasured that guitar, I know when they did the video for “we will rock you” he didn’t use that guitar for fear it would get wet and damage it.😊

[@dreams2xs]

And John Taylor, the drummer had a degree in electrical engineering and built the amps for the "Red Special".

[@MsUltrafox]

Freddy was so good that some claim he used auto-tune. The problem is that auto-tune wasn't even invented until 6 years after Freddy passed away. He really was THAT GOOD.

[@lipby]

Sound engineers certainly had pitch control, it just took more work than Autotunes

[@stevelucero9047]

@@lipby - not really... the only tools/methods available for pitch correction in the 70's were Varispeed on tape machines and Evantide H910 Harmonizer. Varispeed was incredibly laborious... and using the H910 induced digital artifacts when the original pitch was too radically altered. These tools/methods were extremely limited in what they could do. It wasn't until the 1980's, when the Fairlight CMI came out, allowing a graphical waveform (like in a contemporary DAW) of a sound that could be analyzed for pitch, and a replacement recorded into the Fairlight to be pasted in to replace the off-pitch section. It was easier to just re-record the part.

[@cryptoking7093]

Oh brother 🙄 autotune is mostly used by rappers and hiphop, not by singers from Rock, Country, RnB, Motown, Disco, etc... Freddy wasn't anymore on pitch than Dio, Ann Wilson, Geoff Tate, Ian Gillan, Smokey, Earth, wind and fire or any other good singer.

[@lipby]

@@stevelucero9047 Sincere thanks for guiding me to some information I've long wondered about

[@Beinlausi]

@@cryptoking7093 That is simply bs. Both parts. Autotune is common in rock and country, and all over RnB. Just as a correctional device, not as the "Believe" effect. Most singers chorus when doubling/recording multiple layers. Freddie phased, because he was so in tune. You're far too clueless to be smartassing on this topic.

[@normalasamsudin1891]

I will never get tired listening to Queen. My favourite Queen song is My Melancholy Blues. RIP Freddie.

[@gregbacon9808]

I was in my late teens when this came out. Best Decade in Rock Ever❤

[@sueparras6028]

Me too! I remember when this came out! It was one of those tunes that you just knew was going to be iconic! ✌🇨🇦

[@kendallneason3645]

Watch Queen live when you can. They were incredibly talented and professional musicians. Freddie was a charismatic superstar and his love of all types of music including opera, gospel, jazz, ballet/classical helped create the eclectic music they created. I miss those days so much. 1.🙌❤

[@memyself1670]

Always an absolute masterpiece forever.

[@kellytrimble7019]

And yes, I was so fortunate to be a teenager in the 70’s & love that our music is standing the test of time & a new generation is discovering our music. It was pure talent, no auto tune just talent, raw & on stage.

[@tonyyul703]

She needs to watch *HIGHLANDER* because *QUEEN* Did the entire music for that movie.

[@bmarrello1]

I saw Queen live 5 times in the 70's and 80's

[@levvellene570]

Queen at Live Aid in 1984 really impressed everyone who actually thought of them as has-beens. That is still a wow-moment for me, as I was in my teens at the time.

[@gabyy556]

1985

[@chercee]

I was 15 when this song came out, it was a classic right off the bat! I have loved Queen since this song, Freddie owned the stage!

[@kevinkyte2920]

If you love queen you HAVE to check out their live aid performance it was totally insane. And the crowd is HUGE

Hi Maggie, I had the good fortune to see them live with Freddie in Sweden 1984 and 1986. The best frontman ever. I was 12 years old when this came out and a childhood friend introduced me to Queen and their album "A Night At The Opera" and I was sold.

[@randallknapp7528]

I was 8 years old when this came out. Can you imagine how amazing it was to live then, along with all of the incredible music of the time? My 1970's childhood was the best!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. 🤗💖 Hope to see you on our livestream in less than 1 hour as we are doing Anne Murray reactions and many, many more: kzbin.info41ZNlGfjjcE

[@randallknapp7528]

@maggiereneemusic I really hope to join in. What day/time is your live schedule?

[@josephrelph5235]

Freddie never wanted his teeth changed, having them that helped him with his vocals

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I count myself very fortunate to have seen Queen in concert twice, when Freddy was still with us.

[@rogercaruso9337]

You check out the 1985 live aid. Queen takes over the whole concert.

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Yes, the beginning is all Freddie, in mulitple layers. The video shows all four because it better visually to see them all. Later, when you get to the "opera section", you'll have Freddie, Brian, and Roger with Roger hitting the highest notes of all.

[@rorygrime1202]

Those harmonies in the beginning are all Freddie.

[@NightcrawlerLuver]

There will never be another Freddie Mercury! He was truely one of a kind. And i doubt there'll ever be another band like Queen either. Best band ever!

[@julienmarquet8612]

QUEEN= 4 GUYS! NOT JUST FREDDIE MERCURY, CONNARD😡😡😡😡😡

[@sonjarussell7332]

I was in high school when this song came out.....once we got past the shock.....the awe set in, still in awe today.....decades later.

[@ajruther67]

Maggie, the beginning harmonies at the beginning of the song is Freddie harmonizing with himself! It's done by adding layers of your voice onto layers of your voice. And that was done without computers since they only had sound boards and recording tape.

[@patriciafigg4581]

Bohemian Rhapsody was the first Queen song I ever heard in 1976. I was only 6 years old at the time and I remember hearing it being played on the radio a lot. I absolutely love Queen.

[@busterandloulou]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Queen live 4 times. My six year old son was with me at one of the concerts.

[@elza32358]

This masterpiece changed every teenager's brain chemistry in 1975. I was 17 years old and a senior in high school when it was released 🤯

[@Sarvasaha]

I was 17 too. What a time to be alive. Got to see them 3 times. Earl's court (Queen Elizabeth's silver Jubilee day 1977), Milton Keynes Bowl and the last one at Knebworth. I have been blessed.

[@davidmorgan5312]

Maggie, many years ago (more than I care to mention) when this song was released as a single, I used to DJ in Pubs & Clubs. The day it was released I was working in one of my regular gigs and played Bo Rap. The owner shouted across the Pub for all to hear "What the F**k is this Shite", after the track had finished, I had a bet with her (a week's wages which at the time was £20.00, not to be sniffed at) that next week it would be #1 in the charts and she would be begging me to play it. I won the bet.

[@the-wordplay-dojo]

I was born in '73. This was '75. I was 2yrs old. Obviously I was oblivious at the time. The mid '80's I started to form my musical tastes. Queen's One Vision in '86 was my eye opener. They were the first band I REALLY got into for about 8 or 9rs. Queen had a few very distinct eras. '71 - '74 was a lot of fantasy rock. Freddie came out in '75. From '75 to '79 is (personally) their best era. Freddie feels just free somehow. You can't put your finger on it, but he's just in a happy place. The early 80's they went through the pop / radio friendly rock. That'd make a cool poll, wouldn't it? Fell free to use it, if you wan't. I should add that I'd never heard of you until Foreigner's I Wanna Know What Love Is. You are ADORABLE, and beautiful. Don't stop being you :D

[@dianecomly6132]

I was 13 in 1975 when this dropped. Musically, the right time to experience glorious music!

[@georgealderson3827]

Was lucky enough to see Queen twice.

[@marshajensen8415]

I treated myself to a Queen + Adam Lambert concert six years ago. It was a highlight of my life. If you get a chance to see them live, do it! ❤️

[@ninnik]

Yes, do it! I promise you will not regret it. I've seen them twice, it was an experience unlike anything else, just absolutely amazing.

[@neil2444]

Same! Of course nobody can replace Freddie, but Adam Lambert really embraces that same spirit! He did an excellent job. I hope I can attend many more concerts they do in the future!

[@jimwalker1404]

I was 21 when this was released in 1976, it changed music and music videos forever

[@petersconrad3917]

I was born in the 70s when this song came out but I was just a little tiny kid. I heard about Queen in the mid eighties, 1984. I heard Another one bite the dust, but I didn't know it was Queen. Queen still my favorite band, I love listening to Queen, because of Freddie's voice, and a greatest frontman. ❤

[@stefanboskovic4724]

Saw Queen's final British live show at Knebworth Park in 1986. Over 120,000 people. Epic experience

[@dwgrly]

I was also in my late teens when Queen came out. I still have a couple of Queen albums in vinyl.

[@fkalamo4]

Queen was my first concert, right after Night at the Opera came out. At 65 I can still remember that concert. I was an amazing night

[@colinshard8665]

this was effectively the very first music video ever released and it was one of the greats

[@timtrace9175]

Maggie, I just started following you. You were reviewing ACDC. Thank you. I love how you really get into it.

[@howardyoung9987]

Greetings from Scotland. I saw them on consecutive nights at the Glasgow Apollo when this song was number one. Happy daze.

[@davidmontgomery9846]

Saw Queen as support band to Mott The Hoople .They were already a top band but were still happy to be support .That showed their class .

You need to see Queen at live aid

[@jeffsaviola2109]

I got to see Queen on their first tour of the US.. as opening act for Mott the Hoople .. they were amazing .. my wife went into labor at the concert and our first daughter born in the morning hours after concert

[@josephadams7379]

The album states; Feddy Mercury - Vocals, vocals, and more vocals. The whole album is a masterpiece.

[@winstonsmith8441]

An amazing song but just one of hundreds of unbelievable tunes that came out at the same time in the 70s.

[@dennish3032]

He spent many many years writing then perfecting this before he ever presented this to the band. A personal struggle for perfection.

[@josephrelph5235]

I saw them at Wembley in 85, brilliant Freddie was out of this world.

[@phillipdavies9128]

I saw them in 85 at live aid in Wembley. They came in about 6pm or so and were amazing. It was a long day, very hot and I saw many legendary groups, but Queen were easily the best. My memory, even that day is hazy, but I do remember them being absolutely mesmerizing.

[@toerag572]

I like the fact that it IS a rhapsody, no verse, no chorus. The guitar solos can be sung, making them much more memorable. I remember watching the video on Top of the Pops when it was released.

[@lynnenolan3484]

1. 20 years old and never tire of listening to it. X

[@glyngasson8450]

The first part is all Freddie. John Deacon sang very rarely. All the really high notes in the opera parts are Roger. They wanted to create the effect of 200 people singing so had to sing it over 60 times as there was no digital recording

[@Beinlausi]

The number of overdubs doesn't have to do with digital or analogue. If you want 200 voices, you have to record 200 voices. The number of tracks is the issue that necessitated bounces (from several tracks to one (or two for stereo)). There were 24 track digital tape machines in the 80s.

[@markmcelheney7513]

I Seen Them In !986 Live. In My 63 Years, It Is By Far The Best Concert, That I Have Ever Seen. Freddy Mercury Was The Consummate Entertainer. BEST SHOW EVER!

[@jasonlouis697]

Maggie, as long as you keep singing while you're straightening out the cords, I'm happy. My wife has a beautiful voice, too. I love to listen to her sing her way through tasks so when you started singing, that was (literally) music to my ears. Keep it up!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your sweet comment! 🤗💐❤️

[@maverick2242]

1 in primary school, this was the coolest time in all my years musically & generally frankly, never happier than then! was awesome times🤘

[@kellytrimble7019]

This is all Freddy, he wrote this as a rock opera! It was voted the best rock of all time! Queen came out with this when I was 14 & have loved it since I first heard it! ❤Freddy lives!

[@ninagean8065]

They blow my mind then and now!!

[@kevinsimpson3374]

I was 15 At The Time ! I’m 63 Now! Irresistible Isn’t It!

[@stevesoutar3405]

I was lucky enough to see Queen play live at least twice at Wembley Stadium - they were awesome every time. Freddy had a way of grabbing the attention of the entire crowd, and would get everyone singing along with some of the big numbers - before proving what an amazing voice he has when he sang Ay Oh - no one in the crowd was able to keep up with him !! I just found a video on KZbin called Queen: Ay-Oh (Episode 27) - You might want to take a look it it

[@jonassundell9366]

Impressed. You sang Brian May's solo effortless... Greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden. (60 y.o, he he). Take care and stay safe dear.😊

[@maggiereneemusic]

Welcome! 😁

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

When you say has anyone seen them live, that depends whether you mean Queen live 1971 to 1986, or the years since without Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, Queen plus if you like. I saw Queen with Freddie and John four times. I regret not seeing them in the 1970s but the first three times I saw them was from 1980-1982, when they were, officially, the biggest band in the world (in terms of sales and influence), and though still great live in 1984-1986, I believe their best live period was 1979-1982. But any Queen show from 1971-1986 was special. Many of them have been recorded. It was certainly an experience seeing them in that era. Freddie was a unique performer.

[@janetschulman8998]

Yes it’s just Freddie harmonizing with himself. You can see a video of Brian breaking down the sections.

[@lkayh]

I watched the whole Live Aid concert on TV. It was a long, long show, lots of great acts, but Queen’s performance-damn! I guess Elton John was backstage and shouted “you bastards” after their set, because he had to go on after that. (David Bowie was immediately after.). There’s an apocryphal story that someone once asked Freddie if he played anything other than the piano, and he answered, “the audience, darling.” So very true! If you haven’t seen their Live Aid set you really do have to watch it to see what he meant. Great reaction, Maggie! Sorry I missed the livestream!

[@sopdox]

Sorry I missed the live. I was 8 when this came out. 7 years later I went to my first ever concert and saw them do it live at MSG.

[@stephenshannon4535]

I was 22 years old at the time. I got to see Queen onstage twice in the late 70s.

[@sandrahilton3239]

Freddie said that Roger had the dog whistle voice and they are definately singing on the intro. This came out in 1975 and i was a fan since 1973. I still listen to them in my car and everyday if i can. This was the first musical video used in the charts back then.

[@tammielongino7485]

I LOVE WATCHING YOUNG PEOPLE REACTIONINGTO THIS VIDEO. THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE 🎵🎙🎶

[@johnhayter7220]

Seen then in 1981 at Wembley arena. Best live show I’ve ever seen

[@markoneil2055]

I saw Queen May 4th 1974. Waterbury Ct Palace Theatre. They were the Opening Act for Mott the Hoople $6.00 Tickets

[@christophermollan1684]

Microphone stops working.... drops the mike and sings without it.. that is the most Maggie thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martyfrazer5312]

I was in the Army in Germany when this was released. The whole album played non-stop in the barracks.

[@garyvandokkenburg6223]

This also has the distinction of being on the top 100 charts world wide for the longest in chart history! Well over 6p0 weeks and counting.

[@BlueJay2929]

I saw them when I was 16 in 1973 at Golders Green Hippodrome London and no one. knew them, there was about 20 of us in the audience..It was a BBC radio recording which still exists.

[@MusiCatsKing]

Best song ever, i agree with you Maggie. I heard Brian May in a doco say that those chimes are made by strumming along the guitar strings behind the bridge. I was born in '81, but my parents had the night at the opera album on vinyl; that was my first exposure to Queen. 30+ years later, i'm so obsessed with them that i listen online to a German radio stream that has nothing but Queen. I love them more and more every day. 💜

[@marcelopessoa4911]

I was only a child when this came out, and when I was a teenager i chose other bands to be a fan of, such as Pink Floyd, Rush, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, but I always admired these guys for their talent. If you want recommendations of Queen's songs, some of them are underrated, no one reacts to them - I don't know why - and you could be the one to do it: "One vision"; "A kind of Magic"; "Save me"; "Who wants to live forever"; "Don't stop me now"; and the way these guys found to say goodbye to Freddie - the sad and beautiful "Show must go on" - it was told, by that time, that Freddie was ill when he recorded this song (the official music video is a compilation of the band's footages, all along their career, but Freddie is not seen singing it, only his voice is heard). R.I.P., Freddie!

[@jamesloughran7278]

I was around and now my granddaughter is heavily into Queen. The saga continues. 😊

[@potatodonkey1856]

I wish I was alive when this kind of music was new. So many good things were around then, good music, great cars.

[@jimvasconcellos]

The 'shivers' sound was Roger Taylor, the drummer, playing the bell on one of his cymbals.

[@tomstanziola1982]

Freddie Mercury had an amazing 4 octave vocal range.

[@russhorcher1726]

AND he has sub-harmonics in his vibrato. Very few have that. It's not an ability per say but rather a natural occurrence. Freddy wax and always will be the absolute best. Nobody in the world has/had his passion and commitment to quality. There are more people that listen to and who have discovered Queen in their youth in the past 10 yrs than any other singer in history. Queen was such a smash and still is ,, like I said millions of young people have been turned on to these guys ( mainly Freddy) and they are the most watched band / singer. 1970 I was 6. Haha. Freddy was and still is the most influential and idolized singer of any other performer. All the other groups at LIVE AID actually got a little jealous and upset because ( and they all said) damnit Queen totally stole the whole show. Even Elton said it. Queen is an absolutely amazing band but Freddy made the band,, he was beyond a legend and icon. A rock god doesn't begin to describe him and his awesomeness.

[@russhorcher1726]

Freddy was absolutely magical.

[@jimvasconcellos]

Actually, he could stretch to 8, but not consistently.

[@russhorcher1726]

@@jimvasconcellos i think you meant to say 5. Even that is pretty difficult for the vocal chords. I don't know if 8 octaves is even possible. I think the absolute limit for human range would be maybe 6. Test that theory on a piano once and I think you will see what I mean. I don't think a piano even has 8 octaves. Not trying to be argumentative but I understand music theory very well and the human vocal abilities. Of course anything in life is possible but I am pretty certain 8 octaves on the human voice is impossible.

[@russhorcher1726]

Freddy could indeed hit 5. Though he rarely used it. Scientists and vocal analysts monitored him and he could reach 5. He was also one of the very few people who had the very rare gift of having sub-harmonics in his vibrato.

[@prairieson55]

I saw Queen in 1980 at the Charlotte Coliseum. It is far and away the best concert I've ever been to. As an aside, I often tell my son that that was his first concert, my wife was a couple of months pregnant at the time. "Who Wants to Live Forever" from the "Highlander" soundtrack would be an awesome reaction.

[@davidsweet9163]

I saw them is In 1976 and 77. One of my favorite concerts ever At the 76 show I was in the front row.

[@ChesterBrigham]

Yes , I saw Queen in 1979 at Boston Garden was the best live show I ever seen

[@009AWB]

John Deacon was asked about the composition process for this album and its theme. His typical dry and cryptic response was “ orchestral manouvers in the dark.”

[@cobbsquaredinc5515]

I saw queen live two times in the mid to late 70s as a teenager. By far hands-down, the most epic musical experience I’ve ever witnessed.

[@mdshovel]

I had just left school in England when this came out. It was unique and changed so much in music. The music and media corporates didn't like it - it was the first record longer than the usual allotted disc space and radio airtime - it couldn't get played officially at first but DJ Kenny Everrett in London put it on repeat for hours and locked the radio studio door. It also is the first music video with effects and due to only 16 track recording available they had to record in sections that would then be combined to one track and build from there. The one to see is the Live Aid concert of 1985 - it is a legendary masterpiece - I was there Thankyou for your "reaction" videos - I came here eventually through your AC/DC Thunderstruck video and delight in your enjoyment. One I would recommend is from last year - Bonobo and Anna Lapwood at the Albert Hall in London - a chance moment that changed her life as music director at Cambridge University and acclaimed pipe organist

[@paulcombee2209]

[@RobotShlomo]

If you already weren't aware of this, Brian May built that guitar with his father from just whatever wood and bits and pieces he had lying around. The spring for the vibrato arm comes from a motorcycle. I believe the neck was part of a leg from an old table.

Very much alive. I was 13 and had never heard anything like it, but I knew I wanted to hear more. Queen fan since 1975. RIP Freddie what a voice! What a soul!

I was 15 (1977 or 78), and my uncle bring me a casette with music. One side "Bat out of hell" and the other side "a night at the opera".
