this is a free verse poem that i wrote for freddie's greatest live perfomance. Saturday July 12th 1986, a legend walked. Down the stage, looking over the crowd. The roar of thousands all directed at him. Standing at the front, people grabbing at him like hands from hell. He picked up his microphone and the roar dulled. so began the performance of the ages. One man, one voice. One voice, one legend. R.I.P Freddie Mercury 5/9/1946-24/11/1991
@Sinneyification Wouldn't be surprised if it was a method of keeping track of how many times he plays the section before bringing his other hand up in conjunction with the drums like a mental metronome. lol

Farrokh Bulsara.. perfect voice, classically trained on the piano,songwriter,designed Queens logo...collector of Japanese art..Beautiful,shy sweet and yes ..sexy... part of something so perfect. Brian May Guitar Master Brilliant song writter, Roger Taylor great on drums and that falsetto John Deacon wrote some of Queen's most memorible songs and amazing bass player.. I miss your presence Freddie Mercury..I admire how you lived..and died on your termsGlad I got to see Queen LIVE
Oh my god! What a singer, what a pianist, what a frontman! And, let us not forget, WHAT A BAND! THOSE THREE GUYS IN THE BACK WERE TRULY GREAT AS WELL!!! QUEEN FOREVER!
the incredible voice quality of Freddie Mercury, Brian May on guitar technique sobriety and John Deacon on bass, Roger Taylor masterfully playing the drums and composing great success as a radio ga ga queen make the best live band and one of the best ever
the incredible voice quality of Freddie Mercury, Brian May on guitar technique sobriety and John Deacon on bass, Roger Taylor masterfully playing the drums and composing great success as a radio ga ga queen make the best live band and one of the best ever
I can't describe how amazing I think this live version of 7 seas of rhye is. Why is it we don't have anyone this amazing these days and insteas have lipsyncing fraudsters such as Britney? :(
The funny thing is that Brian said once that freddie told him "i won't play piano at live concerts anymore, i think i'm not a good pianist....".. incredible.
Where u heard that? I don't think he said it like that, he just didn't raise himself as a pianist, and in the later years never played much. In my opinion he was pretty god damn awesome at the piano, inspired me to start playing when I was 10 or something xD
@jacodance The best ones are always humble. If you're tooting your own horn, it's always because you're trying to hide some other inadequacy. True brilliance is realizing that you don't know everything. Al Gore: "You know things that other people, older people, don't know." Unfortunately we're living more for Gore's legacy than Freddie's.
@jacodance He was obviously comparing himself to the really old classical musicians like Mozart. If you happen to read this Freddie ( :P ) Don't. YOU'RE AWESOME!
Queen and Elton John prove that there is no substitute for classical training...or a guitarist with an astrophysics degree. The 70s were really the era of true entertainment. You had Freddie, Elton, and Michael Jackson. Now girls just scream if a pretty boy stands there and strains his vocal chords. There's no appreciation for talent anymore. Freddie had buck teeth.
other rock bands and frontmen who think they're so good: SUCK THIS UP!!!! if you could do this, then you're worthy...if you can't, then just shut up and don't brag about you being famous..
Obviously they had cameras on all of them but there is a series that focuses on each one separately for 4 songs. Roger cam, John cam etc. Interesting to see what they all did on stage not just Brian and the great Freddie

His voice cracked a lot at the wembley gig, around this time he started to avoid doing the higher notes of certain songs and the band would perform certain songs in lower keys to accomodate his vocals
I know, but he did have to start changing the melody quite alot to stay within his range around this time, his smoking and vocal nodules had narrowed his range a considerable amount
Viken28 - brilliant patch of the studio version with this live version from Wembely. Freddie sings the song in a much lower key in the live verson. This vid marries their wild talent in the studio with their commanding performance at Wemblely. Thanks for creating this. VM
i stopped doing piano a few years ago...after watching and listening to queen i got back in got Bohemian Rhapsody in sheet music and started playing....i eventually want to get up to this song
iv always loved the way freddie comes out stomps and sings and pumps his fist during this song as if he believes hes the character in the song.dumb comment i guess,but always struck me as cool.
