Wonderful, but the choir members shouldn't have each had a mic, the point of a choir is to blend and not stick out. They sounded good but each voice was too distinct.
love it~ the original is more mystical, swinging from folksy oral story tone to mostly arch drama of psychedelic/metal vox. this cover paces it more delicately, like musical theater soliloquy. i think this is more digestible, than original's mystery-shrouded "huh?" epic (esp when the high-pitched "greek chorus" are more musical than the grounded "characters" here.) different joys from both versions.
I got to this clip after reading about it on Brian's soapbox. This is awesome, it gave me goosebumps. What a magnificent piece of work this is, and so beautifully performed. I'm speechless.
Like Brian has said many times, you don't fully appreciate what Freddy was doing until you try to do it. This is an excellent rendition of a very difficult and detailed piece of music. With such painstaking detail to the spirit of the original version, I'm surprised they didn't recruit three electric guitarists who could execute the guitar work to the level that the vocal and acoustic work was done. The electric guitar work on this tune can't be different than the exact notes BM played.
This is as wonderful as queen always was to me and will be. The whole world has to see this.His voice is great! also the choir is perfectly clear, Thanks so much!
If you guys thinking of perform the" Queen two" record even i come running to see you this is a magic performance. And that your are from my country make´s it´s even more grand. Bra jobbat killar o tjejer.
Quite simply the best cover of a Queen song ever!..... even Doctor Brian is impressed. I never usually go for triubte acts, but if these guys toured the UK, I would definately go to see them. Thanks for keeping the spirit of Queen alive!
A band that does album tracks live did a cover of this too and I think it was slightly more impressive than this, simply because I think the guitar was a bit lacking in this cover. I think there need to be two guitarists to fill out the sound. But it was indeed great.
the more as technology advances the more sad i get can you fellow queenheads like me imagine if freddie had lived how much more material they could of done on stage? the lead singer hits every note beautifully hey Dr May if you are reading this guy should tour with you roger and john that would be show id sell my soul to see
this is a true tribute!!! its amazing !!

@Gmaninuk Back then, yes. But it was such a painstakingly rudimentary system that you can't move it onto a live stage.

I was there and saw it live in Växjö! Awesome performance. But the sound quality was crap live, far to much "diskant"(the opposite of bass)

Even Brian May of Queen was impressed with this - he said so on his blog. (That's a lot more exciting than anything I could say.)

It's a commendable performance, but they required 19 people to do something that pales in comparison to what Queen did with four people.
