Btw, what did Freddie mean by a "right carnival outside"? Was there an actual carnival near the venue Queen was playing at that night, or was there just some crazy shit going on that was comparable to a carnival?
@lolomegadeth87 Yes. There where problems with Freddie's mic. Probably the main reason why this concert never was officialy released. They should do though, I think. This is one of their best and most legendary concerts ever!!!
@dukenukem211 nope they weren't deaf because even deaf people can hear Queen. I guess they just clicked the wrong one. How do u tell if someone is a liar? You ask them if they like Queen if they say no they are lying.
Listening to this, I would have sworn it was from '75 the latest. It's amazing how little his voice changed during the early 70s, and it isn't until you hear one of their first songs live that you realize it. Awesome concert.
I agree with everyone that queen was technically better in the 80s... but their songs were more interesting in the 70s,, I would have liked to see the 1985 queen playing old songs like millonare walz or lilly of the valley
but insaying John was in his prime during the 70s i was meaning musicly the songs they played suited his style and or showed his imence skill on the bass and just that era Queen were playing back then some quite heavy stuff with really brought out Deacons skill on bass. but he was much better 80s wise in writing great songs such as friends will be friends, breakfree to name a few. shame the magic album was him at his prime writing 3 sngs as that was the last album b4 freddie became ill with aids
can anyone agree wth me that john Deacon is a fucking man that dose not recive the creadit that he should do that everyone is in dept to esp the ones who only reconise roger brian and of course Freddie listen to that whole song and youl most certinly agree with me the bass in that whole song is so intence and the combernation of the drums justs complets it. he was in his prime durin 70s. wsh i was 20 back in thoes days to witness than being 20 now and being exposed to absolute crap musicly today
Roger is recognised for being able to do IMMENSE FALSETTO, and being a rock solid drummer. But without John Deacon, he doesn't seem anywhere near as good as he is here. So basically, John Deacon deserves as mch credit as the rest of them. They say Freddie made Queen, but it was all of their amazing technical abilities that rocked the world.
3rd favorite Queen Concert (1st is live at the rainbow '74, second is live at the Hammersmith Odeon '75"
In my opinion Queen was better in the 70s than any other era. Freddie's voice was exceptional back then, it still was in the 80s and 90-91, but 70s Freddie just blows my mind
I SO AGREE WITH YOU 100%!! About everything you wrote! :D The favorite concerts, same order, and that they were better in the 70s. I LOVE QUEEN! :D lol
lol amazing what somking dose and on that note could be haha a potentialy good use for a add against or for smoking!!! freddie before he took up smoking like here and a after when he was full on into it as he was during the wembly concert when he did struggle for ex with the lap of the gods song to hit the highest notes that he can hit although in saying that most of his highest notes wernt live but on album leaving it up to the ever dependible Roger to do the high notes live!!!
I like their music from the seventies more, but I'd say Freddie was hands down a better live vocalist in the 80s. He was always exceptional throughout their whole career. Never heard the man hit a bum note, but the reason why I believe his singing was better in the 80s was because he developed alot more power, his vibrato became more prominent and he hit his highest note in Queens history in 1985 in the Japan version of 'Impromptu'. I believe it was a D6. About as high as Mariah Carey can go.
Ur newbie : ] U know what is R'n'R? R'n'R is Queen ^^ Queen plaing in many style pop,jazz,hard rock,soft rock,pop, small thing funky :D sry but my english is shites but i know a lot of Queen ^.*
It was actually written by mercury on guitar. He came up with the riffs to. This has to be the heaviest thing they ever done. But why do I get the fealling that the studio version in much faster...
@piromaniac9999 Except that Killer Queen is from 1974 and The show must go on from 1991 (not the 80s) :P. I still think this is probably their best album but if I personaly like innuendo better. A LOT better :P
OMG, who the f%&k to they make it sound better live than the albums, this guy's are not from this planet, simply WOW, there are no words to describe their live performances!!!!!!
The best version of this beautiful song played live. Although Freddie's mic seems to fail time after time, I love the sound of the video... it's so freaking CLEAR!!! Queen ROCKS, forever.
