@FreddieMercury1994 Yes! And, it was caught on a professional camera! With the angle being on him! One of the rare opprotunities that we get to actually SEE Freddie hit a C5!
Here Freddie nails the song, but he nails it a lot of times: chek out Stockholm 1978, Osaka 1979, ALL the Crazy Tour 1979 (expecially Newcastle 1979 shows), ALL the 1980-1981 version, Kassel 1982, Hamburg 1982, Mubich 1982, Vienna 1982, Edinburgh 1982 and Leeds 1982
Hey guys, don't compare George Michael to Freddie Mercury, God of Rock!!! George tried to sing it in "A Day At The Races" style, that's all. Freddie gives a little piece of himself in every performance. That's why every next concert was different than previous one. And that's the best in their shows!
Não se compara o incomparável, não se iguala o inigualável e não se supera o insuperável. Assim é o Freddie Mercury e sua maguinífica obra! - Odilio - Rio de Janeiro/Brasil
Do you want the whole Version of this one in better quality?
Just private-mail me!
The whole Version contains the 2 missing sing-improvisations, which are one of the best actually, but they did cut it in the video, because there is a spanish voice speaking (only a few seconds).
somebody told me once that Brazil would speak at some parts spanish and even GERMAN, because there would have been so many immigrants to the brazil from different countrys, but it seems that he just talked bullshit.
Yes, german is spoken here, but on very very few ''isolated'' comunities towards the south. But its due to their heritage. The same applies to Chinese, Japanese and Italian with their bigger colonies.
But those idioms are way far from becoming even ''unnofficial'' languages, or dialects.
The point was, if the guy on tv was speaking spanish on a TV broadcast.. here in Brazil it would never happen without the subtitles.
wow! first of all thanks for the great explanation, was really interesting to just read it.
ohh I get you.
if you want, I can email you the whole version! it has really beautiful improvisations in it at the beginning and before the end part starts of the song.
Fuck me, Brian - you sure made a cunt's arse out of that solo - the guy IS human after all!!! Still a wonderful track though. My favourite Queen song.
they cant be compared, because one will be remembered for writing 'bohemian rhapsody', 'we are the champions' and 'somebody to love', and the other for writing 'wake me up, before you go-go'.
He doesn't mess it up as much as take a few extra bars to get it right.
I also have a remastered version of this performance on my channel if anyone wants to see. I fixed the coloring, re-formatted it, and also mixed it with the radio broadcast.
I still think Freddie sings it better than George Michael. For example, in parts like 'can barely stand on my feet', 'everybody wants to put me down', and 'all on my own', Freddie goes higher, while George lowers his voice. Both of them, are great, though.
@Queenfan81 you think freddie sings is better.. i fucking KNOW he does..how can u even compare them..there is no singer like freddie! common! seriously?
George Michael sang this song with the high notes then Freddie, but then you have to figure how many songs did Freddie sing before he sang this song, the stain he put on his voice? So, I still say Freddie has a beautiful voice and no one will be able to match it!!!!!!!!!!!!
m8 i dunno how much do u understand in music..but Queen were playing this song on FM tribute half tone lower than usual cus' of George Michael's demand..no doubt he's an awsome singer and sang it beautifuly ..but just for information! :)
george michael shouldn't even be compared to freddy mercury. Freddy mercury was a rock singer, wrote brilliant songs and had one of the most brilliant and distinctive voiced in the world!
that wasn't even him retard! It was the combined facts that he was using Red Special and this is a crappy recording. Don't ever dis Brian again. Or I'll have to murder you.
eu fiquei doente quando meu pai não quis me levar ao show do Queen No rock in rio... (lógico... eu só tinha seis aninhos) mas quando freddie morreu eu fiquei um tempão brava com meu pai... agora me resta ir ver o Queen com Paul Rodgers no rio em novembro, dessa vez ninguém me segura... rs
Estive neste Show inesquécível!!!!!!Surpreendente como o Freddy conseguiu calar o Morumbi com a sua voz!!!! A cada música, nós queríamos mais e mais...
Valeu a pena ficar horas e horas esperando só para vê-lo. Quem ouviu ele cantar as suas belas canções não esquecerá deste show NUNCA!!!! Freddy, você está gravado em nossos corações com essa linda voz. Te amamos!
Freddie is always great, but Roger Taylor is playing drums perfectly AND singing with that awesome husky voice...how can he do it so well? Roger is GOD!!
I think he just didn't remember the solo....it happens. I don' know how the guitar players can remember all the solos and chords of an entire concert....it's a mystery to me:)
I guess we all have off days...and when you're touring doing show after show, sometimes you get really worn out and you can be a little off...anything can happen live...but I think they did very well just a few minor mistakes...Mercury's vocals were good...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
stfu freddie is a god. but for some reason in concert queen always sounded horrible. at least thats what i think. its probly kuz today everyone lip syncs
Nice..I'm from brazil..and it's rewarding to be able to watch footage from this concert here..but..I've got to say..that wasn't one Queen's best performances...If you'll notice..Brian starts off the solo TOTALLY off key:/ it's a shame..but then again..QUEEN ROX
