охрененно good !!!

[jaydunn79]

"How it hurts - deep inside... When your love has cut you down to size."

Those lyrics hurt the most because it's so true. You feel crushed.

@jaydunn79 i totally agree.

[carooomargheee]

The intro is sung very well! Good, Freddie!

[JonnyInfinite]

I'd love to hear the band-recorded version of this

[sephiroth34567890]

Its not pitched up to my knowledge, well the other versions out there sound similar. There is a 'better' version out there in terms of quality anyway.

Still he does nail this song, as he does with quite a few songs from this concert. One of the best from this tour.

[Seve1988]

Have yet to hear Freddie sing a poor version of this song. First live version or not, it's still a brilliant version

[raqa]

this is the first show of the works tour............Freddie's voice is in excelent shape....for this reason he sings so well the part of the falseto

[NightShadow54]

The video is very high pitched.

[rogertaylorNr1]

i love the first part when he sings "but it can happen 2 anyone" so powerfull

[sephiroth34567890]

Ah its awsome!

I think there can be no doubt this is the best version of the song, also this was before Roger used electronic drums, the one and only concert before he switched to those not quite so good drums!

[Gregsynth]

What the hell?

Freddie's singing the HIGHEST parts?

I thought he never used falsetto live? (The opening)

[NightShadow54]

How high he sang the intro?

[Gregsynth]

On the line: "I don't want my freedom," he's singing Bb4 and A4 (same as the record).

Then he goes up to falsetto for the line "There's no reason for living with a broken heart."

[NightShadow54]

The falsetto part sounded a bit funny, happy sounding.

[Gregsynth]

It sounds pretty much like the album version. The quality here isn't 100%.

[9540525]

damn! i wish they would record on video their first performances on tour...they knew that Freddie later looses his voice! damn! if all people would here this performance...they wouldn't say that Freddie did some tricks in the studio,streched his voice and so on...

[Ricky91993]

Wow this is amazing Freddie does nail it!

[skinnergc1]

I was there live 1984 when this happened.  I am not so sure I was not standing next to the guy who was taping the bootleg of the concert.

[Queenfan81]

Really? You're lucky, as it was one of Freddie's last brilliant performances.

[skinnergc1]

Yes it was from Queen "The Works" Tour first one of the tour. But of course you would know that. DUH LOL

[Queenfan81]

Of course. He actually sang it well the first few times, up until about September, where his voice started suffering.

[StarSupernova]

I love the part where he sings, '..but it happens to everyone!'. Brilliant.

[FreddieMercuryFan12]

not good quality, but a great performance!
