Ibex (Freddie Mercury)- Jailhouse Rock (Live- 1969)

[lorenzowii1]

Can you imagine this cracky yet legendary voice would become a powerful, strong voice? (take Under Pressure - Live at Wembley '86 as the biggest exemple)

[Winxica4ever]

well, whatever you say, I love that! :))

[edmame]

oh boy, ms. bulsara & fans of the hectics encouraged/egged him on quite a bit!

[kev9089798767]

it is incredible to compare this to later versions. he must have worked so hard to have got his voice to the point of perfection.

[phil946]

Freddie trained all his life to get his voice... this is when he had just started singing so that's why he sounds quite bad.

[jersy2007]

FREDDIE IS A GREAT!!!

[richardvollin]

Totally INCREDIBLE !!! What an eruption of energy and power. This is what rock and roll sounds like when it comes from the gut.

[2Old2MinceWords]

Wow, so interesting to hear how hard Fred worked to get control over his voice by the time of Queen. The voice was definitely there -dear God was it there! - he just didn't have the control over it.

Even with his natural talent, he still had to work really hard and that's inspiring. Well it would be if I were young. :-)

[banjoshua]

Bass out of tune fucks it all up !

[sherhrtatk]

wow, Freddie's bandmates really suck.  hahaha

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

@sherhrtatk at least the guitarist is.... OK?

[GooGajoob224]

I w as talking Brian May added possibly added some input when Freddie gave it QUeen, not while in Ibex. But no matter let's enjoy this mans angelic voice of many splendours.

[GooGajoob224]

Freddie brought his own interpretation of jailhouse rock from wreckage over to Queen. but i'm sure Brian May helped him arrange some parts in the song.

[SiniaDiva]

When Ibex play that song brian didn't play with Freddie...... In 1969 Brian play in Smile. But Freddie and Brian was a friends.

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Que raro lo único que se reconoce es la voz de Freddie Mercury!

[UltravioletShanghai]

Did they ever produce an album?

[marcogugo]

seems like they made some live performances, and all the song demos that goes around youtube by today. No album produced but a couple of their songs went into some Freddie's greatest solos release.

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

@UltravioletShanghai nope and no offense to fred but thank god they didnt!!!

[ANightAtTheOpera1]

Freddie rocks!

[pfootball43]

[sandrativadar]

I liked it so much! Thanks, David

[Zhikaaku]

Oh, I love Freddie's pre-Queen voice it's so...amazing!

[TheDumbening]

I bet back then the people were like "Freddie Bulsara won't get anywhere in life"

Today he's known as the best live performer and best male vocalist of all time

[YVONNE241191]

when Freddie was unknown........

funny!

[martinmush]

hahahahah.... 3:33 minutes of

bad bass solo..... hahha

wtf!

[ashlynschade]

Baby Freddie hahaha! I love it :)

[Baugin]

Bassplayer isnt that good..

[classicrockrockz]

Ibex doesn't really sucks, it's just that the recording equipment was cheap. If you were there live it would have sounded a lot better, I guarantee it :)

[Keijz74]

Too bad they didn't record this in a real studio. That would really sound good.

[Chimelad4]

Freddie Rox Ibex sux

[rocon86]

wats wit dat out of tune bass at the start. glad he went n played wit brian and roger in smile

[MMesh89]

Each member of the band was playing his own song :D My God, THEY DID HAVE FREDDIE AS SINGER! :O I'm glad he left...

[mikerubi9999]

I'm glad Freddie canned these guys. That bass player is in his own world.

[zannybaba]

this is before freddie found his real voice so glad he did love you eternally mr mercury

[jujuhec]

[Ricky91993]

[vytautas70]

[KajiCOL]

Great video thank-you DaveR. Freddie rocks.

[preposterous3637]

The guitar, bass (if there is one), and drums aren't together at all...

Best part of Ibex was Freddie

[Queenmania2007]

I can't remember who's it....so just in case I am, tag, love. ;) Freddie sounded strange here, a bit weedy, good and bad, but thanks for sharing this video great to get a perspective on these things!

[richiecockburn]

jesus best thing freddie ever did was leave this band lol lol lol

[bobbied3]

whoever was playing guitar here sucked fyi...

[ichneumon88]

[martialking13]
