[haggisneill]

[galenrivera512]

I am on the unusual a part of Youtube again.

[wvpipkin]

Incredible. Madame Caballe is brilliant, and Mercury is every bit her equal in this. That brought a tear to my eye and gave me chills. We miss you, Freddie.

[GarbyzovaOlga]

Обожаю Фредди.Спасибо-это два уникальных таланта.

[sergioperezr]

Totalmente brutal, magnifico. Hay que tenerlos bien puestos para cantar con Montserrat Caballé pero hay que ser Freddy Mercury para hacerlo asi.

Que alguien me haga un favor y mate a Justin Bieber y a toda esta basura por dios!!!!

[GreatWhiteHope73]

Superb - RIP Freddie.

[Tualand]

Un moment de pure merveille

[GuvnorConroy]

A great combination - a man wasting away and a woman who looks like she could do with following his example!

Excellent song though.

[mariomusic2012]

TÉCNICA E INTERPRETATIVAMENTE PERFECTO !!!

[famemonster79]

I got teary eyed and SERIOUS chills watching this. WOAH!!!

[AngieCrazyful]

Es tan impresionante escuchar cantar a Freddie con Montserrat Caballe, nunca habrá un cantante como él,era único

[WallyWadeMovies]

Ok, so, its been 20 years since freddy died. I see his is from the olympics 1992, but on his wiki page it says that freddy died November 24 1991.......so when did he die. I'm sorry if this comes off as a stupid question, i am 29, i was a still a kid when this happen

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@WallyWadeMovies this is not from 1992, this is Freddie singing in 1988, I think this song was made for the olympics in 1992 but Freddie was already dead by then and Montserrat refused to play it without him.

[WallyWadeMovies]

@TheJumpyPopcorn thank you. my mom brought it up and she was confused about it. I told her that i will get on youtube and ask for the facts and i got them. again, thank you

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@WallyWadeMovies You're welcome =)

[Bickelbach]

@TheJumpyPopcorn that's right.I am from Barcelona,I remember listening at this in the 80's.They were supposed to sing it in the olympic games,but tragically Master Freddie died before they took place.So in the overture of the Olympic games they played the record.They took our breath away,to young and elder people.

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@Bickelbach You're so lucky, for living in Barcelona and for having the chance to listen to this awesome masterpiece in the 80's...

[amrunquessir]

I can't watch this without tears in my eyes.... Magnificent!

[catalanuss]

ESTO NO ES UN CONCIERTO ESTE FUE EL MEJOR HIMNO QUE SE A ECHO DE UNOS JUEGOS OLIMPICOS (BARCELONA 1992). GRANDIOSO.CREO QUE COMO YO TODOS LOS CATALANES DE MI GENERACION LO TENEMOS GRABADO EN NUESTROS CORAZONES.

[MedraPro3D]

@catalanuss

Y muchos españoles en general tb... q gran himno

[pereveza]

я чуть не описался))))))))КЛАССССССС

[IntoTheShade]

[mecanito90]

[RockFene]

[melofaiilpiacere]

W FREDDIE E MONTSERRAT 2 STAR.

[2patero]

EPIC!



[sirmadafaka]

Why aren't concerts as spectacular as before?

[LuvTiesto]

4:03-4:12 the choir can only stand there and watch the master perform his music

[luisfercol07]

Se me puso la piel de gallina

[anitaviana2]

can someone explain me if in this video freddie was alredy dead? it looks so real...i'm confuse i don't no if it's realy him...i'm so sad because he passed away when i was 3 years old and i will never go see him ;( (by the way...sorry by my english...i'm rusty)

[KanaCGY]

@anitaviana2 : this was recorded early '91 at the Olympic Flag Arrival ceremony in Barcelona Spain. Freddie was still very much alive, however, as we all know he died not long after. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think this was his very last public performance before his death. Missing you always Freddie.

[anitaviana2]

@KanaCGY  thank you^^

[KanaCGY]

@anitaviana2 : upon further research ... this was at the 1988 celebrations after Barcelona won the bid for the '92 Olympics ... :P Sorry bout the '91 comment ;)

[flarenas]

@KanaCGY so this concert was held in Seoul?

[fernandogvgo]

@anitaviana2 HE WAS ALIFE BUT HE DIED BEFORE THE INAGURATION OF THE BARCELONA'S OLYMPIC GAMES AND THIS VIDEO WAS DONE AFTER BARCELONA WAS CHOOSED TO HELD THEM

[AllTimeAesthetic]

How do people know that this was them lip-synching? It looks real to me.

[fmargal]

SEMPRE QUE CHOVE É PORQUE FREDDIE CANTOU NO CÉU E OS ANJOS CHORARAM.

[tavinhocandeias]

Whaaaaaaaat a voice !!! DAMN !!

[ioff4me]

I miss Freddie ;(

[AlexandreValentulus]

Magnífico! Nem Deus suportaria não chorar! Magnífico!

[akrivosdiavolos73]

Nobody can match Freddie's talent..its God given...music today ie Xfactor, Idol, Gaga, Beiber is talentless trash....

[patch6]

Who can match that talent?

[77Irini77]

Is incredible how people stand up to show respect toMercury and Caballé!! I wish I was born a bit earlier!!!

[philipc67]

Wish I could have been there to see this live. So they are lip-synching, so what? One of my all-time favorite songs, celebrating my all-time favorite city in the world, and an explosive combination of 2 great singers. They really are terrific together. This is Art, whereas now you mostly hear cheap trash. Oh, how I miss those younger, easier, more innocent days. If I could turn back Time...

[milosmodena]

kakav car! neponovljiv!

[8xXkevXx8]

Freddie...we wan't you're mustache back!! we miss you SIR!

[deacsterdeacster]

they lip sang this version

[haggisneill]

Unsurpassed Brilliance, here we are in 2011 and there is nothing that surpasses this....................... NOTHING! Freddie you are brilliant!

[MrElgrama]

Està màs vivo que nunca

[PingoDocinho]

This woman was owned by freddie mercury

[daniloperezh]

LO MÁXIMO EN CANCIÓN Y FREDDY UNA ESTRELLA QUE NUCA MORIRÁ

[rzosel]

Brilliant! Freddie knew who to perform with. Montserrat complements her gift with Freddie's voice. Viva Barcelona, Estupendo!

[danon100]

A dia de hoy todavia me sigue poniendo la piel de gallina.

[Gandufalo]

@danon100 te comprendo..Mercury inigualable

[saciji]

two outstanding artists - could not have been more electric if they had been performing in a classic operahouse. The fusion of two genres - but the meeting of equal talents - and Caballé and her beloved city were gifted a song to remember him by. Such a great loss Freddie M - but no doubt you are singing your socks off up there :)

[AMARROQUIN1989]

celestial, inspirador, nunca de olvidare freddy, viva¡...

[KAPAKURAS]

por que wikipedia dice que murio 24 noviembre del 91, cuando estos juegos olimpicos fueron en 1992?

[servampire73]

@KAPAKURAS por que esto esta grabado antes  murio en el 91 antes de los juegos

[pynchekavron]

@KAPAKURAS por que la grabaron el 8 de octubre de 1988 y nunca mas se volvieron a juntar

[bidox]

@KAPAKURAS Si murió en el '91. De hecho esta canción la grabaron creo el '87. Simplemente la reeditaron para los JJOO de Barcelona '92. La magia de la TV. Saludos!

[hg0517185]

FM forever and QUEEN ofcourse

[mtkppktm]

Incredible could hardly describe this.

[RandomContent0]

It would be great if the myths of heavens were true, if only to hear Freddie sing again...

[Cryunreal]

[GADELHAS82]

@DieHardDbS Concordo a 200%

[enchiladasqueretanas]

Can I be an opera singer on my next life please God?

[69anna96]

@enchiladasqueretanas Please, God me too, if I can sing next to Freddie.....

[montyloree]

This is one event that I would loved to be at... OMG.... the talent and atmosphere is just amazing!!

[Kaufa2]

me duele no haber nacido aun y haberme perdido esto.. sniff!

[beppi2005able]

Für mich Kult.

[thebratar]

Simplemente espectacular,ambos,se siente el feeling,maravillosos

[rebekinha1990]

Just one world: great!!! It almost makes me cry!! Unforgettable!! RIP Freddie Mercury! Viva Monserrat Caballet!! Barcelona 4ever!

[pereandreo86]

Pero qué emocionante...

[Aalvafaust]

E mais uma vez ouço esta fabulosa canção e fico todo arrepiado.

[ligesoj]

Cada uno es libre de poner los comentarios en el Idioma que tu quiera, y no olvides que el Catellano o Espanol, se habla en mas paises que el Ingles.......

Everyone is free to write comments on the language that you want, and don't forget that the Castilian or Spanish is spoken in more countries than English....

Paz and love.............:)

[pacocha1974]

completamente de acuerdo contigo, completment d` accord avec toi, viva le español la lengua de mi querida tierra

[fyrstikknerd]

Why do every spanish, frensh and german people have to believe they are the fuckin only people on earth. Post your comments in english for god's sake

[carlosmtron]

@fyrstikknerd not all Spanish people or French, German, or who speak a Latin language, can write in English. Be tolerant and do not think your language is unique.

[fyrstikknerd]

@carlosmtron I'm not even english, but it annoys me that people don't care for "the international language"

[XAVI68S]

@fyrstikknerd Spanish after English is the most important language in the world so you must learn it too.

I'm Spanish and I can speak some english I don't know why don't you try to undertand other languages that are very important int he world too...

[MrJamest3333]

@fyrstikknerd Some people do no post in English because it is not their first language, you say they think they are the only people on earth, but you expect everyone on earth to use English, who do you think you are ?

You are aptly named

[Gpierrot1]

@fyrstikknerd that's for the same that you write posts in english, you belive that you are the only people on the earth, learn spanish or french, open your little mind. In the future the world will speak another lenguage, the numbers dont lie. Begin to learn. Im sure that you are from usa. PD: sorry for my basic fucking english level.

[fyrstikknerd]

@Gpierrot1 Wrong.. I'm from Norway, where we speak our own language. I also take french classes in school. If it becomes a world leading language it's ok to me, but today, we can safely say that the absolute majority of the world population sees english as a language that everybody should speak, and on a website like youtube, I think everybody should write in english (if you can). Of course, if you can't, that's ok, but as long as can write basic english you should do that. peace

[Gpierrot1]

@fyrstikknerd Im trying to translate your message, I preffer my lenguage to the english, i feel the english more poor than spanish or french or german or others.I think another thing about the lenguage that you must know, for me, the english use, is an economic consecuence, here, i know alot of people that dont know nothing about english, i like this song for the music, i dont know what say the lyric. Youtube is translated to spanish,they dont want that I know speak english: PAZ. Im Autodidact.

[XAVI68S]

@fyrstikknerd This video is from Barcelona,(Spain) why I should speak in English?

[StarWarsUnited123]

@fyrstikknerd lol and you think americ and britian are the only countries on thw rold? just shut up du dummer spast

[fyrstikknerd]

@StarWarsUnited123 You are so stupid and ignorant that I won't even answer your comment properly!

[StarWarsUnited123]

@fyrstikknerd haha i dont giva a fuck :D

[abib2054]

@fyrstikknerd Be cultured and take advantage to learn a lttle about other laguages. This place is free to write in any language even català,... que ets un capullo, aquesta cançó és nostre i escribim en el que en surt dels pebrots. Take the google translator if you want to know what I wrote.

[elsiefj2]

@fyrstikknerd what a retard! learn spanish, french and german or be quiet and stop embarassing yourself and other monolingual english speakers - such ignorance! lemme guess? american, si, oui, ya?

[elsiefj2]

@fyrstikknerd what an absolutely retarded comment! you make all monolingual english speakers look bad. for their sakes, keep these kind of comments to yourself.

[mandyhok1]

This is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard! It moves my soul.We love you and will always miss you Freddy Mercury.

[ramiropichardo]

Es inmejorable este tema, sin duda. La cadencia de la música, los coros, la fantástica combinación de las voces de Freedie y la Sra. Caballé. Es una lástima que se haya ido tan pronto Freedie Mercury...

[boavisteiro17nuno]

e fantastico foi uma grande perda para a musica mundial o freddie era o maximo dos maximos que um artista podia ser

[manuelvaldiviam]

Esta fue la gran despedida de Freddy..un grande, junto a una Diva!!

Dios save a Freddy.

[brendflakes]

omg this song has made me cry RIP FREDDIE WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

[Abigailupin]

Dove gli troviamo più artisti del loro calibro?

Una voce potente come quella di Freddie, non poteva che combaciare perfettamente con quella dolce di Montserrat! Bella, bella davvero... =')

[incursorii]

@Abigailupin momenti irripetibili della storia della musica mondiale che solo i mostri sacri dell'arte musicale sanno dare sulla scia degli inarrivabili mitici anni musicali 80 . ....oggi abbiamo lady gaga.......

[Abigailupin]

Dove gli troviamo più artisti del loro calibro?

Una voce potente come quella di Freddie, non poteva che combaciare perfettamente con quella dolce di Montserrat! Bella, bella davvero... :')

[josua22]

Tengoalubias: Se grabó antes de la muerte de él y después lo pusieron para la inaguración. No se hizo en directo

[Feiteky]

simplesmente maravilhoso!!!!

[huanchacoboy]

grande freddie!

[vonjuchka]

There were two main musical themes of the 1992 Games. One was "Barcelona", composed five years earlier by Freddie Mercury and sung as a duet with Montserrat Caballé. The duo were to have performed the song during the opening ceremony, but due to Mercury's untimely death eight months earlier, the song's recording was played over a travelogue of the city at the start of the opening ceremony.

I believe they´ve made this concert after winning the right to hold Olympics in Barcelona

[MJNataly]

SUPER!!!!!! 

[tengoalubias]

¿Alguien sabe cuándo se grabó esto? Fue una canción para las olimpiadas de Barcelona 92 y según la wiki, Freddy Mercury murió en noviembre del 91. ¿Alguien puede contar la historia de esta canción? Gracias.

[josua22]

@tengoalubias

Se grabó antes de las olimpiadas y despues el murió. No se hizo en directo 

[solobeboguiski]

@josua22 no, sólo ocurre q no me acojona decir lo q sinceramente pienso (aunque en vez del asentimiento general tenga q aguantar comentarios de gente tan capacitada como tu)

[juankamotero1]

@tengoalubias si no recuerdo mal esto fue la celebración de haber ganado la candidatura a las olimpiadas y fue en el 88 .

[cipcitoni]

monumental! thank you you brightest stars!!!!

[solobeboguiski]

pues a mi no me gusta. la monserrat ahi, aguantando semi-castrada para no subir demasiado y dejar al mercury en completo ridículo... zapatero a tus zapatos (lección para la historia de españa xd).
