It sounds like Freddie's blood sugar was getting low in the beginnning. Poor Freddie, maybe he should've been drinking SODA or something with sugar in it instead of beer during concerts.
In compensation, Robert Plant completely forgot how to sing Innuendo during the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. The only different was, he didn´t sound nearly as good as Fred.
I'm in a cover band that plays for 3 hrs a night Fri and Sat, and by 2nd night our singers voice is toast. I could just imagine how Freddy felt 150 shows into a show.
Wow...bein a bit mean to Brian at the whole forgetting to play the piano part! He didn't mean to do it, and people make mistakes! Go easy on him Fred!
He did this just to entertain us and it only reveals what a professional he was - no matter the condition of his voice mind or body he always delivered great shows and even when he screwed things up e did it in a way thats impossible to hate
He was amazing but he was human like the rest of us...
@AtanasovPeter Wow. Stop being pathetic and petty. This is all for a laugh, and the people watching are all huge Queen fans. Freddie is amazing and brilliant, and he also has a sense of humor. He would've probably have had a laugh watching these bloopers, and would've taken the piss out of the other Queen's mistakes too.
He took the piss out of the other members as well: He made fun of Brian for screwing up Save Me (Stockholm 1982), and when John Deacon dropped his pants in Santa Monica 1975, he and Brian started poking fun at him!
Please, don't forget the end of guitar solo from live in japan 82, show must go on in amsterdam 2002 and live in milan 2005, the beginning of All right now's guitar solo!
hey watch carefully milton kaynes bowl (live at the bowl) check out dragon attack brian brokes a string in the middle section, in the beginning of under pressure when john plays the intro freddie walks to the front and john almost falls with the freddie's cable and of course he mess up, in the brian' solo the guitar turned off in the middle of his wonderfull solo, and in " live in montreal" in the seccion of dragon attack brian makes a diferent chord salud!!!
This video is really cool, but don't you think that "The Inmigrant Song" cover is a BIG fake? Hear the drums, it repeats all the time the same, and the guitar too. The two Freddie's "He-Hey!" at the begin are exactly the same, and the voice when he raises up the tone at the end is very "digitallyzed", raised up throug a computer sound editor, and produces the effect called squirrel voice. I think it's a huge fake and everybody is falling in the trap. (I'm sorry for the English ;) ).
@Gregsynth I have it too, but It's very weird that the "He-hey" be exactly the same, and the squirrel voice at the end, the drums and guitar are the same all the song. Listen it carefully, on Adobe Audition or any soun editor cut the two "He-hey" and compare it. Maybe the song singed by Freddie it's real, buy the high tones an that things... :/ . Maybe the first person who uploaded the bootleg to Internet added it (? . Anyway, let the people say . You've a really great bootleg section!!
For that "We Are The Champions" clip where Brian plays the B chord with a seventh in the place of the C minor seventh chord, I would have NEVER recognized the song had you not addressed it!
Did Freddie not use falsetto live? The clip from "Play The Game" and the one of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the other video were both on passages for which he originally (and rightfully) used falsetto...so why would he put the pressure on for singing them LIVE? It would've been so easily avoidable!
No one knows for certain: But I think Freddie was under the impression that "falsetto" meant "weak singer," "sissy," etc. So he decided to be "macho man" and either sing the note in full voice, or just yell and scream the note (from 1984 onwards).
Of course, because we all know that Freddie was just as macho as it gets!
Are all these recordings where he belts the originally falsetto notes from 1984 or later, then? And does that mean that he DID use falsetto on them before that?
At least he had the sense to use falsetto on "Immigrant Song", and didn't force us to endure the sound of him straining, cracking, and going flat on those E5s before finally giving up!
He rarely used falsetto (even in the earlier era). The pre 1984 vids have him either singing or belting the notes, while the 1984-1986 vids have him yelling!
I suppose that's a little more acceptable if he didn't have to resort to total yelling back then...I'd have to hear some examples of it to really critique it, though. In general, I don't think trying to belt passages that were originally intended for falsetto is a good idea at all.
I'm surprised he actually still allowed there to be falsetto on the vocal harmonies in the studio songs, then. Might as well just belt/scream/yell those out (and have Roger and Brian do so as well) for the sake of sounding "MORE POWERFUL" too!
I mean...no kidding, haha. Even Taylor might have a hard time with those ones! Somehow, in saying that, the idea randomly popped in to my head that if they were to try doing something like that for a live performance, it would be Deacon who randomly comes to the rescue and just suddenly starts belting those B♭5s out of nowhere after Mercury and Taylor fail miserably!
Yes, if you remember, I remarked about just that before...I guess he knew that he may lose that creditability if he tried out singing, so that's why he stayed away from it!
That "We Are The Champions" crack just HAS to be intentional somehow...there's just no other way around it.
Are we to believe that John's playing was perfect all this time? I mean I know the bass guitar isn't exactly as upfront and identifiable as vocals, guitar or drums; but we've gotta have SOME dirt on him!
Good videos! Freddie is still a god though.
