Queen: the only band that can make rehearsals into mini concerts.

I know Michael Jackson isn't a band, but he had good rehearsals too

[@scneese64]

That's why they were the best ever..they truly cared how they sounded..pure perfection they were! To be the best rehearsals are mandatory..Thank You Queen for being the best band ever!!!

Grandi grandissimo freddie sei una vera leggenda, vorrei dire due parole a quelle piccole persone che si sono divertite a deturpare la tua statua a montreaux, che sono veramente piccole e nemmeno se vivessero mille anni potrebbero raggiungere la grandezza di freddie la statua è stata Ripulito, la stupidità di chi l ha sporcata rimarrà fino alla loro morte.

This ENTIRE band was a gift to us. They were all so talented, professional, amazing! They all wrote hits. And they stayed together, all original members, so cool.

[@susanorchard1994]

MeAndMercury love how they were there for Freddie during his final years. Yes they were devastated when Freddie told them he had AIDS and didn't have much time, but they were there for him and protected him. Roger said him, Brian and John felt that they were going to help with whatever pain and suffering he was going through by being there for him and working with him. They said it helped Freddie knowing he had them there. My love and respect has no bounds when I think about it. Some idiots have said ' they were lucky he didn't infect them by being near him or touching.' I'm like wtf seriously?!?!? Do some damn research before making statements like that.

[@yetz2291]

This rehearsal is probably not actually from before Wembley, but from earlier in the tour. On the gigs immediately preceding Wembley, he was nowhere near as strong as he is here. Queen probably made the(smart) choice to market this as something casual fans would recognize.

Watching this rehearsal footage is a bit like secretly peeking in at them. How wonderful that they were absolutely pros, ensuring their fans would “get what they paid for.” And that, my friend, is why they were and will always be, one of the best, if not THE best, at their craft. So practiced, so at ease with who they were as a team. Thank you so much for all you’ve given us. Each generation will be able to enjoy a band popular decades ago! Amazing!

[@susieq9801]

Victoria Jones - The bass and drums are the anchor of any good band and have to be bang on together as a foundation for the other instruments. Both are vital. Bass seems less flashy but take it away and it sounds awful. It takes skill par excellence to be as good a bass player as Deacon. Very melodic and played exactly what every song needed. Love Breaktrhu, Invisible Man, Millionaire Waltz ....actually all of his bass lines.

[@yadad7256]

[@Bibiana862]

bass and drumms are rythmic section so that they must understand each other perfectly
