I saw Queen live 4 times and had the great pleasure of meeting Freddie in person in 1977. He was shy and polite and extremely generous, with his time and also gave me some signed records and a patch that the tour crew had. He was a genius musical performer and also a gentleman who gets a lot of grief from people who didn`t get his lifestyle. The world lost such a lot when he passed and I`m not over it yet!

I saw them 3 times.. first one in Jan. 1978.. I was 17... and we got to meet the band briefly in a Holiday Inn lunch room.. Freddie was just as you described.. he signed autographs, and was basically very shy and sweet.. the rest of the band were also funny and Brian May even had the presence of mind to ask us when we asked for an autograph: "ought we to sign TWO?" -- and we were so dazzled, we had never even thought of that... lol.. YES, please?

Fun fact: this song was chosen in 2005 by one of the biggest global tv audiences to be the "greatest driving song of all time". For the record: the pause in the beginning isn't Freddie 'resting his voice', it's him leaving room for the live audience to sing along, which they did, but the old school microphone just didn't pick it up, hence it feels like a pause.

When Freddie approached Brian and Roger when they were in Smile, he didn't change their lives, he changed the world. You bring up difficult songs, and mentioned "Bohemian Rhapsody" ... as so many people do. Brilliant as it is, and it is truly a masterpiece, it isn't even the best song on the album. If you really want to see some brilliant vocals by Freddie, listen to "The Prophet's Song" (from the other side of the record). It's Brian May's masterpiece, and features Freddie singing echoes with himself. Today it would be done with technology, but back then they had to string audio tape across the room passing through playback heads on separate tape decks. The fact they were even able to do this is beyond remarkable, but Freddie's vocal gymnastics are spectacular. They eventually were able to reproduce it on stage, using Echoplexs, to my understanding. Give us all a thrill and give it a review ... I'd like you see your take on it. Always great, just always, Bethany!! You are a ray of sunshine on gloomy days.

Agree with everything except Freddie approaching Brian & Roger when they were in Smile. Smile was Brian, Roger, and Tim Staffell on bass & lead vocals. Freddie was a friend/classmate of Tim's at the Ealing Art College in Lindon. All four shared a flat in London! Brian and Tim were friends from much earlier, meeting in 1964, and formed a band called 1984.Staffell left Smile to join Humpty Bong, and then later Morgan. While with Humpty Bong, Tim moved out, and just Brian, Roger, and Freddie shared the flat. At this same time, Brian was in gradate school at Imperial College of London, and a Math instructor at the school. Freddie and Roger owned a second hand clothing shop in Kensington Square. Ruger was studying to be a dentist. Freddie sang in other bands: Ibex/Wreckage, (1969) which was a Liverpool based band, thus briefly Freddie move to Liverpool. Freddie returned to London joined Oxford based Sour Milk Sea in later that year, but the band broke up in early 1970. As Freddie was again living with Brian and Roger, he tried to persuade them to return to music. Freddie finally convinced them to restart "Smile". The band changed bass players several times before John Deacon joined in 1971. At that time, they renamed this new band Queen - and honed their craft while still in school/working their other jobs. Queen signed on with Trident Studios in 1971, but their debut album wasn't released until 1973. In the mean time, Trident hired Freddie as a solo artist, using the stage name "Larry Lurex", producing very heavily Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" singles. Check out "I can Hear Music" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaukZYKvltGHq6ssi=uR2wzqSrOxsS3QQE) or "Going Back" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYjHnaWHZqqfZ80si=fZhLLaNx6UhJjtG-) Guess who were session musicians on these tracks? Brian & Roger!! One final bit of trivia - Tim Staffell when on to become the Chief Model Maker for the children's show "Thomas the Tank Engine".

I was at the February 27th concert that was one of the dates that was being recorded for "Live Killers".

Thanks for another fab analysis. Would love to see more of your analysis of Freddie Mercury. You might also consider taking a bash at Marc Martel's version of Bohemian Rhapsody - could be a fun analysis!

I can't help but watch and smile.😊 I say this because I personally attended the 1979 tour in Dallas, on the 3rd night of the tour. I believe the recording was made on one of the two nights before, in Houston. This was my second ever concert after a lackluster performance from another bend, and "Blown away" doesn't even begin to describe.... Definitely the same show, costumes, set. Does anyone remember the gigantic black crown that blasted off like a rocket uncovering the band beneath, after the opening phrases of "We Will Rock You"? Freddie high over the stage on a high shelf, Brian May on another.... Interesting you mentioned this cut as a vocal rest. Really, the piano pieces were in some part a physical rest, because of the sheer intensity of his movements when singing and standing. Oh, for a time machine....

@@davepault I stand corrected. But it is certainly the same tour. There is a video floating about that is of the Houston show I referenced, and it is very similar to what I saw. I thought the clip was from it.

No offense taken. Memory is a bitch after 45 years, and this has taken me down the rabbit hole.... I went looking for the ticket stubs I still had and immediately found Sat, Aug 9, 1980. This didn't square up with my memory of still being in high school (I graduated in '79). I soon realized this stub was for a second show I barely remembered compared to the first. I so distinctly remember the harlequin outfit, and this was the wrong tour. Maybe I inhaled.... Yeah, probably.😂 So, the first show I saw was December 10, 1977 in Fort Worth TX, literally the day before the Summit show in Houston that was filmed. That's why they were seemingly so identical, only one day apart. I had distinctly remembered it was News of the World, that they opened with the kept promise of We Will Rock You, and the summation of We Are The Champions as an encore. It seems the memories of the two shows had blurred a bit. Interestingly, the friend who gave me the ticket for Dec 10 1977 had seen them earlier in the year, Feb 25 1977 on the tail end of the previous tour. I'd like to find a copy of that Summit show. Perhaps you know where to find it?

Well, I just found the entire Summit show is on KZbin now. For so many years, it was unobtanium. Do your research, Scott....

Compliments, first time I am not annoyed by the reaction of an proffesional singer. By the way, nice hairstyle. Remembers me on Kelly Mc Gillis in the movie "Top Gun".

I’d love to see you do Orville Peck - Let me drown. He is a phenomenal singer with an incredible voice.

A voice on a diet of late nights, cigarettes and too much partying! A very apt choice of song (which the rest of the band allegedly didn’t like) as it was about his busy social life. The greatest, taken far too soon but burned so brightly. He said his voice benefited from having 4 extra teeth which pushed his front teeth forward. Allegedly he was afraid having it fixed would change his magnificent voice.
