This is so beautiful

[varmibirinsan]

Thank you Freddie, thank you for all. Pure genius

[TheMlonon]

how emotional ...

Freddie , you feel the song

[RandleMcMurphy1]

Que hermoso el fraseo que logra en I will find you (2:15).

De las mejores interpretaciones de Freddie con su piano.

[nanachatqueentoutout]

Aaaawww!You had post that just on the day of my birthday <3

[Lucchese1986]

OH MY GOD!! JUST PERFECT!!!!!!! 

[DarcyTiAmo]

ths version takes my breath away. Freddie, YOU take my breath away.

[indianabep]

I wonder how to take this song out of youtube.

I know that this is not fait, and purely illegal, but in France, we can't find old live versions like this, and when I try to buy it on an english/american music website, they don't let me buy it.

I love his voice so much (but his hair cut sucks a little, I prefer him with short hair and his lovely moustache)

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@indianabep i think he actually looks a lot better with the long hair.

You go google youtube to mp3 and use one of those websites to download the audio.

[indianabep]

@thebiggestqueenfan

Thank you very much for the information.

But I am really sorry to tell you that he is hot with the long hair, but he is "mister Farenheit" with the moustache ;)

[indianabep]

@thebiggestqueenfan thanks a lot, going to try this out!!

[SuperDiamondDogs]

@indianabep a legal and easy way to do that is to use mp3rocket, which the basic version is free. just look for it in google. hope this helped.

[ZBGM0]

shit, this performance made me almost cry and NEVER cry...I am asking myself how can somebody sing so .... how can I can't find the word ....angelic maybe...

[HanKyeolYoon]

Definately one which is better than original. Anyway I'm so curious why didn't freddie use his falsetto for Bohemian Rhapsody even at this concert, his shape was no doubt great.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@HanKyeolYoon i think most of the reason was because from day 1 of live performances he never really used falsetto on that song and he just got used to singing it like that. Also another thing is probably nerves and he probably didnt want to try a new way of singing it in front of that many people.

[cbar0x]

I fucking love how this song has 0 dislikes. Freddie lives.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@cbar0x that's because it is truly impossible to dislike this song. Disliking this should be illegal.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

Freddie had such a beautiful voice. They really need to release this concert.

[icantstopchewinggum]

@thebiggestqueenfan i no right? we need to all like protest or something by the people who make all the queen dvds. they keep released the same thing. just spent $50 to see the first night at wembley- and even though it was amazing and funny- same setlist, same outfit. they need to release stuff from the 70's. Hyde park, newcastle, hammersmith odeon- they're all legendary- why cant they put it on dvd??

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@icantstopchewinggum i am definitely down for this petition/protest.

[cescthia4]

My favourite Queen song :)

[gdsc4]

great audio quality what a great performance!!!

[rden94]

Wasn't that when he was drunk? And at least the opera part sounded good haha

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@rden94 from what i know he wasn't drunk at hyde park

[rden94]

Your right, his voice was good then, my bad I'm retarded. I'd say his worst ever was their SNL show. He was pissed at the end with how bad his voice was from the argument before it.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@rden94 actually there's worse. you should check out 4/23/79's bohemian rhapsody

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan his voice was at its worse that year in terms of live performance.

[rden94]

Alright guys. In my opinion Montreal was among his finest vocal performances, and the video/audio quality is unbelievable. I agree with both of you in some parts. He barked when he couldn't reach the normal studio notes, which were insanely difficult. Wembley was not a very good performance and his voice was in awful shape, much like Japan and Hammersmith 1979. Examples of the barking would be Wembleys I Want To Break Free. He would also belt some songs, which is more controlled and sustained t

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@rden94 I agree with you on everything but wait, you think he was in bad shape at Hammersmith '79? Are we talking about the same gig?

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

He wasn't awful at Wembley--he sounded rough throughout, but he had some good performances (like Another One Bites The Dust).

Anything from the Works Tour (like the London gigs, Vienna, etc), is worse than Wembley!

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

Barking isn't cracking--barking is where you do these really harsh-sounding screams (usually to try to hit higher notes), and it sounds very harsh.

You want to hear barking at its finest? Look no further than Zurich 1986!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@Gregsynthbootlegs you're right. but the point that i was making is that it sounds bad nonetheless.

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

My two cents

1. Freddie's live pitch got better as he got older.

2. Montreal has him in excellent shape--he's rough at Wembley

3. Freddie was a better live singer in the 80s overall (unless his voice was shot).

[bluephoenixone]

This is a really special performance! Freddie puts his heart into this!

[64KATARINA]

Queen are different from other bands- they tried and succeded with everything; ballads, hardrock, opera...

[edmame]

well it makes you want to kick the ass of whoever broke his heart:P

[ammyindian]

Sir Freddie Mercury

[higgsduff]

So good.

[cpartilecoco]

hum, this mix is wonderful, i'm just a bit sad they put fucking autotune on freddie's voice, he doesn't need all his notes to be right on tune by a computer. His voice is deeper and richer than just be "on tune". Anyway, beautiful version.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@cpartilecoco They didn't put any autotune on his voice during this song. And plus, it makes it sound better when they do cuz it's hardly noticeable. And if they end up releasing this concert they really should fix his pitch because during most of the songs he was incredibly off because he couldn't hear himself.

[rekoonsghjkl]

@thebiggestqueenfan autotune is very noticeable and sucks! look at Glee why do they even use autotune on that show it's stupid.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan his pitch isn't off here it all. his falsetto transitions sounds frail in the beginning but he's hitting the pitches accurately.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@codebabe His pitch isn't off in this song but it is in almost every song...and it's VERY noticeable. They probably had problems with the monitors at that gig because he never ever sang like that.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan i think his pitch is pretty great live. maybe not during this era. as he hadn't developed as a live singer quite yet. but in the 80s his pitch was near flawless, with the exception of the gigs where its obvious his voice was shot from singing so much.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan oh i see what you mean you are speaking of just this gig. i thought you were saying his pitch was always off live.lol

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@codebabe nah he was a pretty good live singer. But some gigs he sounded more off key than others and especially during this one.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan in the 80s he was mostly flawless. I mean Montreal and Wembley have moments tat are unbeatable. Impromptu at Wembley is just insane.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@codebabe Yes but his voice was so much deeper and to get high notes he would have to yell and bark them out. His voice was much smoother and eloquent in the 70's pus powerful to.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan its apples and oranges, listen to his improvisation at wembley and live aid, the power and pitch he demonstrates there he never demonstrated in the 70s. I like the tone of his voice in the 70s more but I think technically what he did in the 80s is a bit more impressive in some ways. Going high in chest voice isn't cheating, it's pretty hard.

[bluephoenixone]

@codebabe oh i don't know, he sounded a bit tired in Montreal IMO. Wembley was incredible though!

[codebabe]

@bluephoenixone In parts he sounds tired(under pressure/dragon attack) but listen to Somebody to Love/Play the Game/Save Me, he just sounds astonishing. He held back a bit on hitting the impressive notes but his power and pitch were amazing there. Wembley was all around better though!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@codebabe How can you think he sounded better at Wembley? At Montreal he was in perfect studio-like voice and hit all the high notes in the songs. At Wembley he sounded tired and there's cracks and barking notes all over the place. Plus he sounds very deep.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan He didn't sing 'all' the high notes at montreal. Wembley, I mainly think of his insane improv and impromptu performances which were just insane. As for sounding deep, that doesn't bother me at all. There are som cracks and that gets a bit annoying.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@bluephoenixone I think it's exactly the opposite. Montreal he was in very good voice and his high register was there. At Wembley his nodes were acting up and he barked a lot of the notes. There's cracks and rough singing all over that gig not to mention that his voice was a lot deeper.

[codebabe]

@thebiggestqueenfan You keep using the word bark like its bad. Its just different. the cracks aren't good no, but what you refer to is barking is really power, which is a great skill he possessed over many others.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@codebabe Barking is a form of crack. It's when he is so desperate to hit a high note that he is forced to yell it out in a husky deep voice (aka barking). Here's an example of it, go to around 1:46 in the video titled: 26. We Are The Champions (Queen-Live At Wembley Stadium Bootleg: 7/12/1986)

[FabiiTajra]

Perfeito ♥

[aboeklaas]

What an incredibly beautiful song! And I love this version so much!

[Aec1127able]

<3 <3 <3 Thanks so much for uploading this. Freddie baby I owe ya one!!!

[Aec1127able]

This song is so sweet. Freddie sounded beautyful.

[GoldeenRock]

beautiful performance*_*

[jasonite]

Perfect! Best of all the live versions

[Raffyrock88]

Incredible falsetto ladies & gentlemen... PURE CLASS!

[resilvina]

This is not my favourite version. His voice sounds a bit like recovering from a cold. Anyway, goosebumps :)

Thanks for posting!

[FMERQRY]

@resilvina This version is Special mainly cause is the only High quality record of his "Falsetto" rendition of the song. Anyway the single song is so deep as the voice

[killerqueen501]

@resilvina This is a fantastic version. He aims to sing it close to album version, with falsettos in right place. Stunning. One of the most emotional renditions of any Queen song he ever did. The version of ITLOTG.... Revisited in this same concert is on par, some great note changes.

If the audio can be sent that would be great thanks as I can't wait for them coming through the post and want this on my ipod. Cheers for sharing friend.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@killerqueen501 Sure I'll send it. What's your email?

[ArquestQ]

I've just rediscovered this wonderful performance of this song!

[justinbaddict]

This sounds so fantastic that I actually cried a little. You just sold a CD :) Thanks so much for posting this!

[FMERQRY]

The source audio is mp3 o wav?? if is wav would be great to syn with my Hyde Park version

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@FMERQRY It is originally Mp3.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@FMERQRY I'd love to see your version though.

[FMERQRY]

@thebiggestqueenfan Thanks! Are you able to send me this Audio file??

[FMERQRY]

@thebiggestqueenfan Ha ha able is a strange word in this context... maybe Could is better.... So, Could you send me this audio file?

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@FMERQRY yeah what's your email?

[FMERQRY]

@thebiggestqueenfan i´ll send you via Youtube PM. Thanks!

[formulaonemad]

[thebiggestqueenfan]

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@formulaonemad Thanks to £.79 !!! I was able to put this up!!!!

[carooomargheee]

Oh God, I'm almost crying! I love this quality! And I love this version! :)

Thanks for having put this on YT! I was going to put it here myself, but... you anticipated me :P

Thank you!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@carooomargheee You're so welcome. I LOVE THIS VERSION.

[rbrtgrcp]

tremendo! gracias

[FRE1991DDIE]

Awesome!!! I'm gonna make a UK iTunes account just to buy these!!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@FRE1991DDIE I tried doing it. It doesn't work. You've got to have a UK billing address :(.

[FRE1991DDIE]

@thebiggestqueenfan CRAP. Now we all have to wait until May 17th unless someone posts all the tracks.

[MercuryForever]

Do they have the full audio of the concert in that amazing quality?

And this version of You Take My Breath Away is fantastic with all the falsettos

[FMERQRY]

@MercuryForever They have the Mukti-tracks of this gig... This song only has voice,audience and piano.

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

Superb version!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@Gregsynthbootlegs and with SUPERB audio quality. Hard to believe this was actually released.

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

Which means one thing:

The whole concert is in this audio quality!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

@Gregsynthbootlegs And excellent video quality!!!

Though I have a feeling they're gonna release Earls Court since now we know they've got both night's audio and video in excellent quality and they can do a Montreal type thing where they combine both nights.

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

I'd buy that!

[imsoterriblybored]

wowww!!!
