Queen "The Show Must Go On" performed by The Classic Rock Show

[@mattdawg83686]

What I love most about his vocals is he’s not trying to imitate Freddy; he’s making the performance his own WITH the music of Queen, and that sells it.

[@F1KillerQueen]

Ricardo Afonso played Galileo (lead male role) in the West End Show We Will Rock You. I saw him numerous times as Gazza (Galileo). He was completely STUNNING.

[@m.l.miller219]

Spot on. 👍🏻

[@jamesrobert680]

Absolutely in agreement, he put his own spin on it.

[@ezekielvaldez7222]

3:25 - 3:36 - That 'show' note was insanely long.

[@michaelriverajr8891]

Imagine if Freddie was alive and hearing this guy doing his masterpiece justice

[@dhensley1967]

I DO NOT understand the 142 thumbs down on this. Either they hit the wrong button or they know NOTHING of talent.

[@anfang4030]

Neider Die sterben nie aus

[@woollett182]

To be honest this is by far the best cover and considering it’s live it’s actually really close sounding to the album version

[@yuukirin3758]

Adam Lambert's show must go on live at london 02 arena was the best

[@didinkomarudin5405]

I guest we know the high score is marc martel 😀

[@ezekielvaldez7222]

The instrumentals were way too close.

[@areolaman]

This blows this away kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKWkHd3hN2Zbqs

[@RyansJeepGarage]

Holy hell that singer has one hell of a voice

[@CynicalCharmer]

Ricardo Afonso. Yes, he’s ridiculously talented.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Freddie Mercury would be super impressed and proud!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cthulhubot]

I just saw him as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, & he completely stole the show. Wicked talented dude.

[@CynicalCharmer]

frab He really was. It’s the best vocal performance I’ve ever seen in a musical.

[@F1KillerQueen]

I saw him in We Will Rock You

[@RizaRahman-vs8ii]

On and on... In October 2024 and i still goosebump to see these guys with they perfect performances on a perfect song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dedyridwansibagariang7541]

THE SHOW MUST GO ON Empty spaces. What are we living for? Abandoned places. I guess we know the score. On and on. Does anybody know what we are looking for? Another hero, Another mindless crime Behind the curtain In the pantomime. Hold the line. Does anybody want to take it anymore? Show must go on. Show must go on. Inside my heart is breaking. My make-up may be flaking. But my smile still stays on. Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance. Another heartache, Another failed romance. On and on. Does anybody know what we are living for? I guess I'm learning. I must be warmer now. I'll soon be turning 'Round the corner now. Outside the dawn is breaking, But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free. Show must go on. Show must go on. Inside my heart is breaking. My make-up may be flaking, But my smile still stays on. My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies. Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly, my friends. Show must go on. Show must go on. I'll face it with a grin. I'm never giving in- Oh-with the show. I'll top the bill, I'll overkill. I have to find the will to carry on with the show. On with the show. Show must go on.

[@strangereastern6832]

Is this vocalist for real. Absolutely mind blowing

[@animalsarethebest5117]

Ricardo is lovely, so wonderful, started singing young, you can tell he enjoys it :-)

[@baracudathefish]

The guys got a canny voice but the performance is a bit robotic, no real passion, have a look at Julia Ivanova's live cover, that's what I would call mind blowing

[@adiohead]

Amazing singer!

[@maxx.mazzeo]

Is that a question?

[@strangereastern6832]

@@maxx.mazzeo rhetorical

[@Fixyah]

Goosebumps! best cover i've heard so far.

[@acetrace4173]

Freddie.... looking down on you all, Smiling 😁🤟 He'd be so happy and proud if you all. You guys rock 🎸

[@timmills8748]

It's so good to hear really good musicians playing together

[@dhensley1967]

I know a few studio musicians and they are some of the most talented and underappreciated musicians in the world. These musicians are the real deal. This cover is the best I have ever heard HANDS DOWN

[@r.fernandes9526]

Absolutely stunning..first time a cover band ever brought me to tears...I'm speechless

[@kaputmonkey]

Amazing. Brian May would also be proud of the guitarist nailing the licks.

[@troyancheta3803]

This is the best cover of this song. So close yet different from the original. All of them nailed it. It's perfect

[@ELDIABLO3311]

difficult to do

[@mnrodriguez]

Thank you for keeping Classic Rock alive!!! WOW!!!

[@deamonpt]

Ricardo Afonso... What a prodigy! We are proud of you! Portuguese Power :D

[@Sacramescu]

This keyboard player is a fuckin boss man... So good!

[@trovao1da2alvorada]

All that guys are super awesome !

[@seagreenspiral]

It’s an extremely hard song to sing, with so much power and emotion, that only Freddie could do, he however smashed it.

[@victorlima5668]

I'm very impressed with this singer. OMG his voice is superb!!!

[@stevenwilliams4172]

this is very difficult song to sing, this guy is freakin awesome, nothing forced, just naturally powerful

[@fosgobbit]

Fantastic. Best live version ever. Period. Great band, the singer is on some higher plane!

[@Glasovac]

31 years later the show goes on!

[@prashantkhadka5085]

Freddie must be happy watching this from heaven

[@jamesheller2172]

This guy's voice is as powerful as Freddie's was.

[@DerekHartley]

How is that possible! That's possibly the best Queen cover I've ever heard. Ever. Just sublime. How am I only the 90,655 view of this video?

[@pipwee]

Fantastic, this guy is an amazing singer, so is the female backing singer, this band is superb, great version.

[@jennegaliste199]

This is by far the best cover of this song. Hands down to him.

[@robertbarrett778]

What a voice. There has to be a sound track, to an epic film for this man, written somewhere. So emotive.

[@luismiguelcruz5628]

Ricardo Afonso was actually the lead singer on West End`s "We will Rock You - QUEEN, the Musical" back in 2010-2012...

[@ingvaldkarlsson5270]

Sending chills down my spine...no matter how tired, sad or happy you are the show MUST go on...

[@kurtmiller4235]

this guy has the perfect voice to do some songs by the Scorpions.......these guys are awesome.

[@F1KillerQueen]

That is the ever so lovely Ricardo Afonso

[@KevinPetrusNL]

Zzzzeee Sscccccoooorpionzzz (hehe)

[@TheDede977]

vocally and instrumentally, one of the best interpretations of the most beautiful song in the history of rock

[@myscorpions]

Fabulous! Freddie would be proud!

[@chrillebjork5948]

That man can sing...

[@F1KillerQueen]

That is the ever so lovely Ricardo Afonso. I saw him as Gazza Fizza in We Will Rock You

[@drewsterwa]

Freddie's swan song. RIP Mr Mercury, you will never be forgotten and will always be loved

[@The5tandardBearer]

What a gargantuan voice!!! this guy is EPIC!

[@nmg5108]

it's sounds like a new song with your voice and it's so amazing I really don't mind to listen to it a hundred times

[@volvot5turbo]

[@jemaaelfna]

These guys are performing with love and passion, and the result is amazing!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

[@flora3177]

I can appreciate this presentation in an extraordinary way. Where Freddie Mercury’s respect is evident in the performer and the band. Because he is the really great man who can appreciate and respect genius! Here and now the boys do that. Thanks for!!

[@adeybabey26]

Wow. Just wow. I’ve seen so many great singers attempt to nail this song and miss the mark by a mile. What a singer!!!

Incredible performance! Gives me goosbumps all the time!

[@robertbarrett778]

Apologies, but I have commented about this band before. Has anybody noticed that This Guy hasnt run out if breathe ( is He even breathing?) even after this, quite frankly, epic performance. Awesome. Thank You to you All.

[@alessandroventura1330]

As an amateur musician, I must say the whole band is freaking awesome...and what a singer !!! Greetings from Italy

[@marciogilz]

Simply amazing!!!! Hugs from Brazil!!!

[@thiagoj.7900]

Excellence.... guess that’s the word. I can feel it, I can feel the emotion from all of you guys. That’s outstanding.

[@johnnyfin8603]

Holy shit. This singer respects Freddie and doesn't try to be him. He is awesome!

[@maap977]

Amazing performance! The best cover ever👏😀 The voice is incredible 👍🎤

[@lambo2655]

The most incredible rock cover band I’ve ever heard. Every performance just blows me away :)

[@Kronse2601]

My favourite Queen song. Those harmonies in the second chorus always give me chills. And this is probably the best cover ever... I'm blown away. ♡.♡

[@Apthnono3]

Chanter THE SHOW MUST GO ON après Freddie MERCURY n'es pas un simple affaire mais ce chanteur s'en sort très très bien ! Bravo !

[@andresmercury]

WTF man I'm in tears! That last Pre solo section... Amazing discover i've made today. CHEERS FOLKS

[@Ivo.m]

Goosebumps…. Sunny greetings from Luxembourg 🌞

[@andythurlow1614]

Awe man, why do the trolls have to compare artists. Just sit back and watch truly talented artists and very "tight" musicians do a truly great cover in a truly great way. They are ENTERTAINERS!

[@wcgottschall]

Sir, I concur

[@MrDragik]

Fantastic. Pure magic!

[@trevormarcray]

WOW!! Simply amazing. That dude can sing on another level! Brilliant

[@justinmagee2203]

This dude is crazy the band is perfect and the vocals are riiiidonculous

[@JuicyFinn]

That guitar solo at the climax is so clean and only overshadowed by the even more epic vocals.

[@marciogilz]

Simply sensational!!! Hugs from Brazil.

[@markuspaus]

Absolutely epic!!! Love those guys! All members of the band are genius. That's some music!!

[@tuesdaypatience]

This voice is begging to do a Journey cover...I can hear Steve Perry pounding to come out each time he opens his mouth

[@jeremyadlermusic]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OMGGGGGG IVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR MONTHS NOW WE NEED HIM TO DO JOURNEY STEVE PERRY IS MY FAV SINGER EVER

[@deborahdennehy9937]

[@juliod8170]

Great Version, GREAT BAND

[@davidclavers2435]

Incredible ❤ Thanks thank you for the magistral Live ❣️💪

[@zonbassman71]

Never been a huge queen fan but love this song. The OG is amazing but this cover is otherworldly. So much emotion & heart in this cover. I feel it’s somewhat muted & flat in the original. This lineup of The Classic Rock Show is flawless in all aspects of their covers.

[@slurve44]

This was a fantastic version. Well done! Amazing musicianship and the vocals are outstanding.

[@klempi87]

I can't hear it loud enough! What insanely good musicians.

[@Notancorp]

Majestic... He'd definitely be very proud.

[@94nolo]

That voice is AMAZING!!!!!

[@sanjeevpathak6644]

Great Rockers with Exceptional talents. Flawless all-rounder performance 🙏.

[@petrolhead1960]

Beautiful. So sad because they’re the words of a dying man.

[@TheJohnsblog]

I had the great pleasure of performing with him last year in Copenhagen. It was Jesus Christ Superstar. He sang the role of Judas. I was a mere apostel without a name. He was super funny and goofy behind the stage and in general a great guy. Oh also; I will never learn to sing no matter how many years I practise. My God he is amazing. Best voice I have ever heard!

[@Ken_Norman]

That was unbelievably good!

[@onepantsman3878]

i can only accept Adam ,Celine and Freddie's version.But now I found a new one!

[@hassanhashim5653]

Compact band. . The music is so much powerful! Vocalist superb!

[@azamrashid2391]

Too bad these guys are not in the band anymore... I really want to see the same guys in the concert in 2021 or 2022.. these guys are so talented.

[@John-rr4zz]

A fantastic performance by all. Why aren't this band performing in front of BIG audiences such as the O2 and the like. why aren't they being promoted to hit the big time with their own work, to LIVING audiences instead of a load of half dead zombies ? It gives me great pleasure to hear and watch your performances. They give me a great life lift. Bravo. 5 STAR performance and engineering

[@luismiguelcruz5628]

Ricardo Afonso was actually the lead singer on West End`s "We will Rock You - QUEEN, the Musical" back in 2010-2012...

Let the curtains open, that the show cannot stop.

[@matthieumatt8105]

WTH who is this man? Amazing singer! Usually, I don't like the covers of this song... but there...🤩

[@larsb9528]

wonderful! you bring so much emotion to one of the last queen songs. it´s wonderful to sit there with closed eyes and listen to this great performance. i think freddy mercury would be proud of you!!!

[@cristinayoung1899]

OMGosh! I can listen to him all day ! Amazing voice!

[@lordroberta-w3433]

Amazing thank you

[@combemartian6480]

Outstanding performances. Might be time to throw your radio in the bin and just watch these people.

[@woolfie6940]

I'd like to think Freddie would approve of this version......what a sad song though......these guys sure convey that in their preformance.

[@Nílber_s588]

Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@rmhansom7418]

This guy sings even better than Freddie Mercury! No disrespect to the Queen! This man is HEAVEN AND HELL combined forces!! Such a natural voice! He has the voice of an ANGEL with a power and energy of a DEVIL, man! Wow!!
