  • Someone has said they used a digital technique called 'rotoscoping'. It's used to make CGI films and to project an ''all round'' picture onto an actor/actress/impersonator. So, in theory, you could have James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson etc etc brought ''back to life'' by clever computer bods. Brilliant, but probably very time consuming. Still love it though, wonder what Mary Austin made of it?  Probably made her cry like it did all us true Freddie fans. :)

  • Will someone please explain in plain english how the hell they did this:-

    a) Was it film projected onto an actor/singer dressed all in black

    b) Did they use some sort of screen that the image was beamed onto and then on to ''Freddie''

    c) Why didn't they ask Brian May and Roger Taylor to do the backing instead of ''extras''?

    Freddie was a true star, I was lucky enough to see him live twice and its forever etched in my memory, still miss him and his talent after all these years. RIP Freddie

  • Esta canción me gusta mucho.=)

  • i believe in the resurrection

  • it´s a digital effect, not an actor ... awesome, by the way. Thanks.

  • I believe in God, freddie it's alive 

  • I like how in the full body camera shots of Freddie you can see the reflection of his shoes on the shiny floor, that is a very nice touch.

  • Of course it isn't Freddie Mercury... it's no less impressive, though.

  • que bueno seria verlo en vivo a este montaje, seia un flash!!!

  • EXCELLENT

  • "he has a ring on his right hand. In the original video he wasn't wearing a ring. So he must be an actor."

    THATS WRONG! Freddie wear absolutely a ring on his right hand in the oroginal video, if yout don't beleive, you can watch it here on Youtube!!

  • супер! жаль что иллюзия :(

  • Third, look at Jim's reaction. You can see the grief plainly etched on his face and the tears welling up in his eyes. This is not a man who's "husband" is at home in his sick bed. This is a man who has lost the love of his life very recently.

    Fourth, poor Peter can't even WATCH. His grief is astronomical.

    Fifth, was the actor actually wearing the costume and the singlet? Or was this a whole projection of FM?

    Lastly you can tell it's not FM: his hands are too big and he walks different

  • I have to comment on this. Firstly it's extremely eerie to watch. I've watched this four or five times now.

    Second, someone on here stated that this was recorded the day prior to Freddie's passing. There's no way in Hell. If this was recorded in Germany, as I'm supposing, then why would Jim and Peter be there? THEY WERE FREDDIE'S CAREGIVERS!! With Freddie being as sick as he was, and there were ALWAYS by his side at the end, they wouldn't have flown to another country to see this. (TBC)

  • This performance was recorded one day before his death

  • @djessiedjeems Bullshit

  • i think I should point out that one time I was at a concert and I did the whole "power ballad/wave the lighter" and I toaly burned my thumb!

  • Interesting also If I may add. They had a video with the original band . Why did they not just take Queen and go all the way. TOur with a 3 DIMENSIONAL FREDDY and the band. I mean I enjoyed but Paul ROdgers is not Freddie Mercury. When your a musician you SHOULD KNOW THIS , Many musicians can be imitated or emulated by even a less select few but only ONE person can create the magic that makes the musician ONE OF A KIND . No matter who you / they are. Every so often a special "Freddie" comes/goes

  • @daneswede2 & @Magicsenna4ever

    What you just was was not an 3D/holographic Freddie. It's all video editing.

    They cut Freddie's figure off the promo video and insert it to their filming.

    Bu there was no holographic recreation "present" that the people there could look at.

    The part when he leaves were filmed by an impersonator and then edited to look like if Freddie was leaving.

    Happy Anniversary, Freddie =)!

  • He was gay. SO what. People who even say that are shildren. HE was reverred for his music. Imho He had the BEST vocals I have ever heard. Compassion. conviction, mega talent. melody driven . rockin guitars in Brian Mays beuatiful solos and rhythyms . and the ehythm section from heavon. brilliant. ill say it again. never another freddy. only one with that ttype unique talent. one in one trillion

  • Wow this is beautiful!

  • This was absolutely beautiful!!!! It mad you want to cry, I wonder what Jim was thinking??? Really, really amazing!!!! RIP Freddie...We all still LOVE you!!! ♥♥♥

  • I can't stop crying

  • Oh God that was soo beautiful! Tears are running down my face as I type this. R.I.P. Freddie! I still love you!

  • tank you for this magical moment of one the best singer of the world

  • Queen should go on tour with this technology :-)

    I always wanted to see him live but he sadly enough died before i had the chance :-(

  • How the hell did you do that!??? TOO COOL!

  • this is amazing..breaks my heart

    :( Freddie <3

  • maravilloso! me a puesto los pelos d punta! esta muy bien hecho. me estoy casi emocionando de verlo. habria quedado mas real si hubieran invitado a roger, brian y john, pero aun asi es impresionante O_O

  • THANKS FOR SHARING THE ILLUSION OF SEEING HIM PERFORMING ONCE AGAIN. FREDDIE WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS!

  • This is so awesome, unused footage from the These Are The Days Of Our Lives video shoot was used for this. I like that you can see part of Freddies reflection in the floor, nice touch. A cleaver and well made video.

  • Comment removed

  • wow omg how the hell did they manage to do that?

    it was almost freaky

    must have been for his boyfriend Jim too, freaky but upsetting at the same time...

  • Exceptional ! Magic ! Intense !

  • COMO LO HICIERON!!! :D

  • How did they manage to do this? Amazing, but i felt sorry for Jim here!

  • @64KATARINA Actually, according to his book he watched a lot of videos of Freddie after his death. It made him feel like he was still among us. I think Pheobe enjoyed it as well. He still does things with the fan club (like sharing pictures and stories) and enjoys keeping his spirit alive. :)

  • Almost scary!

  • We still love you Freddie!!!

  • Love this but it kind of hurts...

  • Fantastic!

  • 0:38 he has a ring on his right hand. In the original video he wasn't wearing a ring. So he must be an actor.

  • @Lambrusco93 Guardati bene il video originale. L'anello ce l'ha. Si vede poco ma ce l'ha. Ciao.

  • @Lambrusco93 Of course. It's probably the same thing that American Idol did to make the duet with Celine Dion and Elvis, they had an Elvis impersonator doing the exact moves onstage and projected the image of Elvis onto the video screen. I'm sure the same thing was done here with a Freddie impersonator onstage.

  • @Lambrusco93 No, you are absolutely wrong. In the original video wearing Freddie definitely a ring on his right hand, exactly as in this video...

  • @Lambrusco93 Nope, not an actor, what you are seeing is a rehearsal shoot for the official video. This is Freddie Mercury rehearsing in front of the camera and was previously unreleased footage, its definately all him .He must have decided to take the ring off when it was time to film what was to be the official video, the only time an actor was used was for the distant shots and/or when Freddie was walking on and off the stage.

  • @Lambrusco93 In original video he had a ring too. so it isn't an actor.

  • 19 years ago Freddie Died.....RIP FREDDIE!!

  • I hope to post this video to my channel... It is one of the Coolest things I have seen yet... It tops Elvis on AI... Freddie Live

  • thanks again for all your comments i really love them

  • @nowaymangoshtomuchna How did they do that?? ON 2:46 I can see thats from the original-video backwards..

  • @nowaymangoshtomuchna How did they do that?? .. excuse me..

    1:38 i mean...

  • Successful fake

  • maravilloso... es mjuy emociante escuchar a freddie mercury.. yo se que nunca lo podré ver en vivo y eso me pone triste pero esto estuvo bien hecho se podía sentir ke freddie realmente estaba ahi... wow

  • this is life-affirming n so real wow when you cry from music you sure know it was n is so real what happens here is nothing less than a miracle in this film/production ..i for one have long thought someday they will reanimate people film start etc by computer mimicked all details down to every pixel n carecter of person they presto even make new film with deceased person or likeness of living ?? this makes me think deepely after i stopped crying wow i sure do miss freddie n the music .........

  • 1.09 --> is that Rudi Dolezal?

  • @queriassaber Who is rudi Dolezal. 

  • @queriassaber yes

  • @queriassaber yes

  • Realmente Freddie está con nosotros!! con todos los que lo amamos y respetamos, aunque no lo veamos,él está a nuestro alrededor.

  • This is amazing.....brought a tear to my eye. Even Jim Hutton seems to be touched deeply as if he just saw Freddie again for the first time. Wish they could do this for tours with Queen. That would be asking a bit much, wouldn't it. We still love you Freddie & Queen Forever!!!

  • i to dream saw them when i was 12 in 77 they were unbelievable got within 10 ft of freddie incredible man...saw them 4 more times and yes i still dream about him always sitting on a bus with him when i wake very pissed off try to go back to sleep luv u 4ever freddie

  • I do believe that the music of Queen and Freddie Mercury tell the story of the Rise and Tragedy of Freddie Mercury. How tragic to lose such a man. I had a dream where I got to hang out with all 4 of the members of Queen (including Freddie!) then had the revelation Freddie had been dead 19 years and I was sad.

    Long live this mans music...

  • Makes me cry everytime I watch this. Love you, Freddie!

  • I wish it were true.

  • Imagino el sentimiento de quienes lo presenciaron, cuanto amor!!

    FREDDIE TE EXTRAÑAMOS! TE AMAMOS!! Y SIEMPRE ESTARAS EN NUESTROS CORAZONES!!

  • I'm so confused!

  • waht it`s that?¿

    i love you fredd

  • OHMYGOD THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

  • OH MY GOD! THIS IS AMAZING! I GET CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE!!!!:O:O:O R.I.P. Freddie!:-<

  • trully amazing,u guys desrve thee worldcup cummon germania

  • if only it were true, we would still have this great man...

  • So emotionnal ..... :(

  • I think this is Hologram

  • he will be missed but we need to look back and let him inspire us.

  • WITH THIS song he sayed good bye to us.. gos keep im in his glory...

  • Such an enertainer and such a great man,homophobes hate this man,but of course they would because they dont know how to live their lives without hate.Im not gay but i hate gay haters who look upon them as subhuman.

  • AWESOME!

  • Great video and tribute. The only parts I didn't like were the lighters and the shots of the crowd members singing. Bit too cliche imo

  • Seeing Jim and Phoebe or peter Freestone breaks my heart everytime I see them watching "Freddie" God only if this was true, if he was back alive, I think alot of us would be so thrilled ..

  • freddy we love you forever

  • How they made this?

  • Together again, Freddie and Jim. Rest in peace fellows!

  • how they made this?

  • Y ahora no me cansaré de escuchar esta canción , ¡que buena es ! jejeje :)

    :'( realmente :'(

  • search for FREDDIE MERCURY BACK TO LIFE - MODY you might like this fantacy tribute to freddie

  • lovely.........we still love you too

  • You can shed tears that he is gone,

    Or you can smile because he lived,

    You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back..Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

    Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

    Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone

    Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

  • @mrmakemaday hello, very touching words, these same words apply to another sad loss...........michael jackson

  • @mrmakemaday

    What more can be said?

    It was lovely to see Peter and Jim there,I can't imagine what they must of felt...

    We cherish his memory and let it live on!!!

  • @mrmakemaday its so beautifull

  • Some people do not realize how hurtful there comments can be.

    Well I don't give a dam, Freddy was gay and yes amazing! He was more man than these haters will ever be!

    Freddy Mercury 4ever! R.I.P.

  • Perhaps Freddy would say, your welcome and like or hate my songs or ways of living

    I almost see him laughing if he could read this

    Does it really matters to me

  • mrmakemaday, fuck you!!!!!!!! YOU have no right to judge HIM!!!!!!!!!!! this truth of life knows everyone, there was no need to pronounce it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That could happen to you too mrmake.... GAY OR NOT.... You sir are an asshole that diserves that fate... I bet you do not even practice safe sex.... So why don't you get off here and stop pissing on one of the greatest voices in music EVER...

  • In this video Freddie has the look in his eyes of both dignity and defiance.

    check it out! its that same

  • imitator? 3D hologram??

  • @StarlingKnight

    Clon?

    But I donť see 3D projecting roll. He don't walking on stage, so it can be it, but if it was used we saw strip of diodes panel which project picture.

    Another solution: Black Magic 

  • This displayed through computer is or something of different but great made

  • ti paixtike re file??? autoi germanoi einai trelloi anestisan to mercury...

  • Magnifique <3

  • In the beginning of this video, IS THE MAN that is walking out on stage that is suppose to be "FREDDIE" just some man? or is that the illusional image of FREDDIE walking on stage and exiting?

    Does anyone have an answer??

    Also any more FREDDIE songs like this video,or is this it?

  • Hello my friend. the footage you watch containing freddie mercury are filmed in 1990 and the man you see is an actor to portray the illusion of a person walking on stage. ie please notice that all the audience are watching the footage from a monitor up above. as it was being cut from the actual footage from a queen video. was very well made i must add but only camera trickery. also if you try 'one year of love' , it's a nice song with powerful lyric's and vocal's. take care my friend

  • The footage containing Freddie Mercury was recorded in May 31, 1991.

  • so what tws the person there for?

  • AMAZING...BUT! Why is the audience looking UP? And not looking directly on stage? Is the FREDDIE image on the stage as it appears in the video or ??

    I wish This company would do an entire concert and sell tickets to raise money for AIDS. Make a CD and sell his IMAGE..Millions of fans would buy it..

  • @bocaitalian Over stage is screen.

    But what about roll high around 15cm which project F.M. or another human or smthnk in full 3D! Without glasses! It is possible but it need lot of work because you must reach 1500rpm.

  • Freddie Mercury lives in our hearts!!

    Nov 24th 1991-Nov 24th 2009!

    Queen!

  • Forever.

  • Pure Magic

  • increible!!!! impactador

    te extrañamos freddieee!!!!

    te amamos

  • 18th anniversary today and i wish you could come back to life, we miss you and good music

  • @MrNipper62

    He can go through curtain between worlds bud someone must open gate and on opening of this gate you need lot of energy. But it's dangerous you never know what you take to our world.

  • All inizio...ho davvero pensato che fosse l'ultima apparizione in un programma televisivo per freddie,anche se sapevo che l'ultima fu proprio quella di questo video....

    PAUZ MC

  • I want to follow backstage.looks so real we love you Freddie

  • What the hell..?

  • How did they do that??

    Also, the look on Jim Hutton's face at 0:30 brought tears to my eyes.

  • would be great if thay brought brian ,rog and john here...that would be even more sad

  • Did they use the same technology used to bring Elvis to American Idol? It would be fitting.

  • its so fucking sad

    i cant watch this anymore

    :´(

  • y como la hicieron?

  • he is the best freddie we miss you

  • this must be upsetting for jim peter and mary

  • @queenfan07 they don't look very upset.. would you be upset if you saw your best friend or lover like this? i didn't think so

  • @ 0:13 the man on the bongos adds extra beats that are not there lol

  • haha rally lol

  • yea, fishy..

  • Where the other members of the band Queen? They look so different. Freddy looks completely different person without his mustache like early years but with short hair. He is without mustache again in Barcelona song.

  • i love this song very much

    it always bring diffrent memories

    love u freddi ,,, you r the best :)

    and i still love u

  • I love you FREDDIE!!! I wish this could be true . I miss you so much!!!

  • At 2:22, was that Phoebe (Peter Freestone)? :O

  • Ah, it was Rudi Dolezal. One of the Torpedo Twins. I KNEW he looked familiar. xD

  • god because doesnt exist! . Freddie is still exist. Worry about your ass ! not freddie´s

  • I certainly hope YOU don't have children! What could you possibly teach them besides anger and hate.

    You MUST be a closet Gay. Only terrified men who won't live their lives OUT in the truth talk like you.

    Millions and millions of people love Freddie Murcury. Who loves YOU??

  • you are a typical ignorant right winged uneducated product of incest you fucking worm if you think hate and control of people get you into heaven you are out of your sick mind, and if heaven is full of you and bush and cheney so called christians than send me to hell

  • btw my previous message was to the freak known as PpiLngstckng dude change your name to ppichoadstckng

  • " a german TV channel made a video trick and bring one of the best singers bach to life ''  <-- can anybody tell me how???

  • advanced chromakeying is my guess..

    multi angle shots from an old recording extracted an dplaced into new footage here
