Freddie sings this song well, but Brian wrote the song and sings the studio version. I think he should be the one singing it. I have a grudge that Freddie demanded to sing it, considering he is the lead vocalist. I'm not complaining or anything, but it is a little messed up.
@americangirl1325 It just shows Brian was a nice guy... I think his voice suits the song better than Freddie's, but notice that Freddie doesn't get too flowery with it, it is a folk song after all. I was amazed to find such a song by Queen, but it's one of my favorites. And oh, yeah... Roger! Wasn't he the cutest lil thing? Kind of like a 6-year-old girl cute, but still...
@cutis1000 The 2011 re-releases that they just finish putting out, each studio album come remastered with a bonus disk of demos, live cuts, outtakes, and remixes.
Btw, pitch-correction aside (which takes the life and "magic" and CREDIBILITY out of a recording), this is a fantastic song and performance. I listened to a bootleg from Earls Court 1977 on youtube. Maybe it was the first night, but that was a lot different too be sure
I do agree that pitch-correction can take the life out of recordings--but if you simply adjust a few notes here and there (and don't over-do the effect), it won't sound too bad.
All the available Earls Court stuff is from the first night--this audio is from the second night!
@Gregsynthbootlegs well greg, i contacted Amber, Stephen and Ollie, Amber and stephen said they'd join, ollie and chris may join, i was just going to ask if you can get TSS, if that is possible. he doesnt have to record as i'll take care of that. the review will be next friday...
@Gregsynthbootlegs agreed. also, this is unrelated, but i am going to do a queen album review/debate in sections, and i'm asking if you want to join i need at least 3 people besides me. i'll start by doing Queen-A Night At The Opera. respond if you want.
@Gregsynthbootlegs thanks, can you see if TSS and/or Chris and stephen can participate? it may be next week... plan on it being around an hour, just it will be a 1-10 system and opinions on songs, and whatever you want...
If there is really some autotune added to old live recordings, then this is absolutely atrocious!!! This is Queen for god's sake, not Lady Gaga. Old Queen music is art, not just popular music IMO. You wouldn't put autotune on a performance of a classical aria by Verdi, would you? Saw a recent Paul McCartney show on the telly, where his entire performance was heavy autotuned (he obviously had a bad night), and he sounded like a robot. Autotune takes away character and nuances from the voice.
There's no autotune on anything Queen's done--I don't know why people say that. If Autotune WAS done--you'd hear some artificial "robot" nuances on the areas, and the vibrato on the voice would sound weird. At most, they may pitch-correct off notes (NOT by using Autotune, but by using protools--to avoid the "fake" sound), and may take performances from other shows, and put them in place of the errors (AKA Rock Montreal).
@Gregsynthbootlegs OK, the word "Autotune" can be used a bit too frequently.By "autotune" I meant all kinds of pitch-correcting nonsense used by producers and record companys these days. Even pitch-correcting notes is just as bad in my opinion. If you sang/played it, then own it for god's sake. Don't "tamper" with the real performance. And YES, you can hear pitch-corrections done in protools also - it might not be as noticeable, but it can definately be noticed!
Only if the notes are super off, then you can easily spot where the pro-tools "fixed" spots are. If it's only like 50 cents flat/sharp, you can't even tell if there's work done. I worked at this studio in New York, and I was comparing Autotune vs Protools when putting them on my vocal tracks. Both programs fixed my pitch--but the autotune left it sounding artificial-sounding, while there was nothing noticeable while simply using pro-tools pitch correction (I ended up simply leaving mistakes in).
@sokerplair actually some times it is needed. If you listen to the first night's version of the song, Freddie is slightly off key and he probably for was this one too so they just touched it up a little bit and made it sound better. If they one day release Hyde Park I sure hope it gets the same treatment as it definitely needs it!
@thebiggestqueenfan you have got a point.. speaking of hyde park.. YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY also has a bit of auto tune but ya you are right... thanks for the cool videos!
@sokerplair oh i actually didn't notice. but whatever they did, it sounded very good and if they could do that to the rest of the songs we'd be in for a great release!
@Ikeisbo whoa really? name calling??? just because autotune wasn't invented then doesn't mean they couldn't have done it now when they were mixing it......
@Ikeisbo its good i know which is why i said that y did they do it to this track ... it didnt need it........ just like mccartneys Shea Stadium concert.. the whole thing is filled with auto tune.... its not really noticeable on this track but its there even the guy who uploaded this video agreed with me....
Have they dubbed the 2nd night audio over the top of the first night film? Roger had a slight problem from 1.36 on the first night?? Great sound tho!!!
@MsMamapapa Yeah I wanna hear the whole thing badly. But it's hard to tell his shape because this song only uses his lower and middle register. He even sang this song well during the Live Killers tour when his voice was in poor shape.
@thebiggestqueenfan "But My Love This CANNOT BE" there he sang in high register (in some Crazy Tour gigs) Anyway i don´t like too much play battleship with freddie´s voice...
Every time I hear this song, I feel good
