Queen - 'All The Young Dudes' (Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert)

[stewgotz1]

''hey you there....you with the in the polyester!!!

[Fcutdlady]

this is music with class .

[Aclassicvantage]

Great timeless song..

[ynklo]

MOTHER of a line-up here. David Bowie, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, Brian May and Joe Elliott. Talk about all-time all-star team. They don't come any better than this.

[lowmissile]

i have long wanted to see you MOTT, carry your news again :)

[XZYOE]

Aw, this was before Ian hated David. Good times

[RichardZombie]

Bowie wrote the song for Mott the Hoople in the 1970s when he heard that they were going to break up. Great to see Ian Hunter on stage with so many stars.

[Hellsconsort]

Love this and this version, never knew they sang this. Bowie is creasing up at something too lol.

[mellowsky47]

Miss you Freddie, so does the world.

[whiteaxxxe]

epic! nothing more to say ... beside the fact, that David Bopwie was heavily involved in the former original recording of this song. as singer, co-writer and sax-player, exactly as here in this performance 20 years later.

[perminzerbergen]

Miss you, Freddie. It's been 20 years since you left us, but it feels like yesterday since I first heard "Fat Bottomed Girls". At least I have my memories of your beautiful voice...you would be appalled at what music has degenerated into. I still wish you were here!

[davros59]

Even when singing backup....all eyes are on Mr Bowie!!!

[saguaronoises]

@davros59 Not quite all eyes - I keep MY eyes on Mick Ronson in this vid.  He's missed every bit as much as Freddie.

[fmqueen69]

why exist people angry and old ???

, they click don´t like in this video

[eightdaysaweekable]

David MOTHERFUCKING Bowie!

[quila001]

I would've KILLED to hear Freddie singing this.

[thatguyin91105]

@pandorascope still pure awesomeness !!

[Protector0ne]

When was this? No date in the description??

[eldeive]

@Protector0ne 1992 April the 20th Wembley Stadium

[Grahammd206]

FANTASTIC



[MarianoGabriel25]

LOOOOOOOOOVE ALL !!! DAVID GENIUS!!

[Syndicate24]

When it comes to a Queen song/tribute all the Dislikes can fook-off sad bar-stuards! awesome tribute to the man himself!

[brieflycake]

Greatest version ive ever heard of this great song

[theuncletodd]

the last live performance of Mick Ronson--RIP

he was really hurting at this point

to see Ian , Bowie, Mick, and Queen (who were the opening band on Mott's '73 US tour), together in one spot, fantastic

[chriswnls]

@homicidum Queen was the opening act for Mott and that's where they got their big break. They all remained close friends throughout their careers and collaborated on each others solo projects.

[ferdinandsouz]

RIP Ronson, one of the best guitarrist of the past.

[blacksails]

@homicidum Because its a classic....

[ghodium]

i'm a dude yeah

[isaku2011]

全ての若き野郎ども。

聴くんだよ、この声をね。

[ghodium]

@isaku2011 so true

[Theforbeslucy]

@MrPatchesPal No, John Deacons last performance was with brian and roger singing the show must go on, with elton john in 1997, in paris.

[arvid0391]

THE ROCK TRIBUTE CONCERT ANYONE HAD RECEIVED AFTER DEATH, RIP MR FARENHEIT, MR AWESOME, FREDDIE MERUCRY, FARROKH BULSARA

[blupheonix44]

I still have a VHS tape of the entire coverage that muchmusic did for this great tribute.

What a concert this was! Under pressure w/ Annie Lennox!

[mbadessa]

All the young dudes

[MrAwsome1986]

@queenofficial you forgot to mention Joe Elliott and Phil Collen on backing vocals

[knight1768]

awesome boo-ga-loo-dudes,and freddie would make it sound even better,imagine those fualcetto notes if freddie didem?

[ghodium]

john deacon is da man

[ghodium]

lol bowie does so well not to look like proud as fuck i wrote this

[MrRavelino]

We miss you Freddie

[gdhccl]

Looks like ya need 24 ,2 for each of ya ! PLEASE DO NOT WATCH ! TURN AWAY QUICK BEFORE YOU BECOME A PILLAR OF SALT !!!

[birdmanronno]

Nice to see Mick Ronson in his last live performance. Sadly missed

[milanchetalibanche]

I hate this dislike counters, they're everywhere, just like ants! Annoying....

[Fakename70]

Easily one of the best highlights of the entire show! The band sounded fantastic! Such a shame they didn't get to tour Innuendo, as Queen were one of the few bands of their time who continued to improve as a top form live act as they aged.

[nandacw19bueno]

David playing sax *--*

[TheWorseOne]

Bowie wrote the song



[Cokain3]

@TheWorseOne of course

[nunnysdejesus]

coisa boa

[elzashan]

I swear ian hunter kissed bowie at the end, or was he just whispering in his ear? hmmmm...

[valoroukka]

Freddie Mercury and Mick Ronson two legends. I miss both

[danielg1999060]

Actually, in Israel, a show for Freddie's 20th Death Anniversary is being arranged by performing children.

I will be the bass guitar player and the backing vocalist.

[ZwolfZki]

Joe Elliot? WTFfffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Hanzey666]

@ZwolfZki Elliot and Slash & Queen did Tie your Mother Down , and I think  Now I'm Here too. On the Mercury tribute. It must be somewhere here on YouTube too

[JavIutDio]

joe elliot and phil collen on stage as well

[thatguyin91105]

David Bowie singing backup thats CLASS!!!

[captainrog]

@thatguyin91105 so so true

[PandoraScope]

@thatguyin91105 Bowie wrote that song and note Mick Ronson on guitar too xD

[adolfo21]

I miss seeing John Deacon on the side of the stage :(

[maru4339]

this year is freddie's 20th anniversairy of his death

. think we can a tribute gig like that?

if there's gonna be one, i'll do ANYTHING to be there

[chabomorphosis]

i can't imagine how joe elliot was feeling singing in the same stage with david bowie!

[murriskman]

es hat nicht ganz das Original von 197? (ich weiß nicht mehr ganz genau) erreicht

[savvuljim]

I hope the 8 people who disliked this get cancer.

[austxcynthia]

@savvuljim I think they already have a cancer of the ear, KWIM?

[Raisin2girl]

Uno più straordinario dell'altro...che meraviglia, è fantastica questa performance

AWASOME!

[ronald27112]

Queen, my lover !_!~

[cinator77]

mick ronson!!!!!! :-(

[fretty1000]

awesome tribute,remember it like it was yesterday! will never 4get u freddie :-)

[steveeesss]

i was at this concert

[bobgoestobrittan]

Wow!

[larsonjoe77]

assuming you clicked on this because you like this song, how do 8 of you who viewed it not like it? its an amazing version of the song with an awesome lineup, how do you not like it?

[0019Carla]

@larsonjoe77 Maybe it's simply because they prefer to see Freddie instead of those other guys.....

[456ironmaiden]

is david bowie playing an electric guitar? never seen that before..................

[MrFatpenguin]

@456ironmaiden are you freakin blind?

[clsalles]

@456ironmaiden ur kiddin, right?? Either you don't know Bowie or you're having trouble telling a sax from a guitar. Not talkin smak, he looked different back then

[456ironmaiden]

@clsalles noi saw david bowie and knew my mistake so i know where david bowie was so yeah i know bowie.

[Bleudour]

who is the guy with hair like Brian?

[dialectic76]

All the old dudes....

[degree7]

@dialectic76

LOL

[waywe2]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grgeorges]

GENIUS WRITING!

[lawchihei]

Queen is the very few bands/singers that are willing to share the videos/ music to everyone on Youtube without VEVO

[mm091540]

love bowie , love the song, but why are the singing it amidst all the queen songs (and "heroes")?

[minionsengage]

Hunter, Bowie, and Ronson should have collaborated more often.  And Cybernauts are kick-ass and Def Leppard's cover of Drive-In Saturday is spectacular.

[lezhill59]

pure classic love it, no freddy though

[granniemir]

rockers  RAWK

[granniemir]

rockers  RAWK

[SunbeltRyders]

Hey that sax player is pretty good ;)

[ThePoison27]

@SunbeltRyders it's David Bowie

[nrcm2008]

@ThePoison27

he knows dumbass, hence the wink;)

[ninageneson]

the song was written by bowie but originally recorded/released by mott the hoople. that's why ian hunter is singing-- makes perfect sense.

[Pukeman44]

''eh you there, you with the glausses''  i need you....'' great song..

[Pukeman44]

''eh you thetre, you with the glausses'' i need you....'' great song..

[chmellen]

hey, this really bring back memories.

[pheadxx]

Who would think Queen'd be bigger than Hopple?

[robin14669]

Last live performance of Mick Ronson?

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

@robin14669 Last one we know about, anyways. It was certainly his last one in front of TV cameras. However, he did do some assorted studio work after this. He died on 29 April 1993 at the age of 46. Rest in peace, Mick.

[leandar]

@robin14669 If not, it's one of the last.  As I recall, he died himself a few months after this. :(

[Ellathegreatable]

This is fall of your chair epicness :D

[shejaman]

I miss Mick Ronson=[

[kpworksforme]

woo Bowie on alto!!!

[neisko23]

Nice to see Hunter, Ronson, Bowie....epical triangle.

[InsaneCB]

he sings backup because in Mott The Hoople, he wasn't the singer, Ian was.Bowie was the sax player.

[marekp]

Bowie sang backup on the Original Mot The Hopple version.

[Sarusource]

I want you. You in the Polyester. ACE! 3:00

[vigimael]

I... really think Hunter somewhat ruins this excellent Bowie song.

[DAVWAVE]

@vigimael Are you nuts. Oh well, I guess you love Bowie, do you like any MTH stuff?

[vigimael]

@DAVWAVE Honestly, no; never been interested. I just much prefer when Bowie does vocals in this song.

[policemanandrew]

@vigimael

Absolutely agree with you. Probably the best song Bowie has ever written just be sung by a curly blond who screeches his way through. Compare this to the Bowie version on his Reality tour and the master shows his true might !!

[Yo1969Yo]

Freddie had the best tribute concert ever. It was put together so well. Stage was gorgeous. Then you see the huge Queen crest that Freddie drew above the stage. The best rock performers. It was perfect. Brian, John and Roger did a fantastic job organizing this concert.

[Drag0nfoxx]

@Yo1969Yo - True, but I'd rather have one Freddie than a hundred tributes.

[fruitywheelz]

i just got chills

[kathyuk28]

What a lineup for my favourite and best rock song ever written.

[blupheonix44]

I have this whole concert on VHS somewhere.....

Much Music had a start to finish coverage of the concert, and DAMN!!!!!

They don't make bands like these anymore... David Bowie ROCKS!!!

[votexmanzoni]

The legends of the Glam Rock...together!

[KimInChains]

@votexmanzoni Yeah but Marc Bolan was already gone too..

[sonnyroxx]

Great stuff here. Alas RIP Mick Ronson......

[queriassaber]

Gosh, this is epic.

[MrsMercury72]

NOT Freddie!!!

[Kriejtiw]

5 Dislikes, eh?

So, I need five bullets...

[sandrino29]

@Kriejtiw Yeah, then load the gun and give it to me...

[TheBvaboi]

@Kriejtiw you'r gona kill them because they don't like something not cool

[knight1768]

@Kriejtiw the fuckers dont know ther asses from holes in the ground,or music either,just freak on the 10 million that lovem

[JDoub14]

@Kriejtiw 12 now...

[MrTinlizzy]

This was a great day, i was there, but gota diagree with you hoopermartin, George was the best on the day/night,, also listen to Plant, he sings cWazy little thing called love, hes got a right lisp goin on,, yep stone cold was great, but tell you,, that Zuccaro was brill,, happy days

[blupheonix44]

@MrTinlizzy

It was a great day! I remember watching the whole thing....

[rwaggs62]

Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor, Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter, David Bowie, Phil Colin, Joe Elliott...

[cheruben32]

el mejor concierto de la historia del rock

[hoopermartin72]

I was at this concert. The only performer who was capable of matching Freddie's vocal range was George Michael. The rest were very poor. Showed what a talent Fred was!

[rwaggs62]

@hoopermartin72 maybe vocally, but George Michael AINT no Freddie Mercury...This was a concert in tribute to Freddie, not to see who was the best Freddie imitator, Gary Cherone would have won that. My favorite parts were when Robert Plant of Zeppelin did a Queen/Zep mix, and Roger Daltrey of the Who sand I want it all & Metallica's frontman with Tony Iommi of Sabbath supported Queen on Stone Cold Crazy...Axl's emergence on Bohemian Rhapsody with Elton John was truly a highlight too...

[LordScreaming]

@hoopermartin72 I agree - though Bowie very shrewdly sang his own songs, because he's smart enough to realise his vocal and technique are so different to Freddie's that he probably couldn't sing Queen very successfully. And as a result we have this little gem of glam rock history. Ah, I miss Freddie very much.

[weinsar14]

Bowie on sax is the greatest thing ever.

[strummer77clash]

RIP Mick Ronson AND Freddie.

[tanztante]

holy shite, the line up..... O_O

[Stairmaster9068]

if only freddie could of sung it ;_;

[MultiDetritus]

Goiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilll !!!!!!!!!!!

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

ORITE ORITE ORITE!

[jaggedkill]

Hell of a tribute

[8592534444]

So So version. Check out Bruce Dickenson version. It's killer.

[ryanandreww]

great line up here

[whodareswins99]

RONNO till i die

[gav240z]

What's sad is a year later Mick Ronson passed away. Such a legendary guitar player.

[HotOnTheWeb]

I prefer Bowie singing it...great song.

[Kelluke0koma5L]

Awsome song, awsome lineup!!!

Rip Mick Ronson!!

[uefacup81]

It's an amazing performance... it would have been even better had Hunter and Bowie shared the lead vocals!

[BigSwitz98]

It's probably been said before, but that's a heck of a lineup.

Taylor, Deacon, May, Bowie, Ronson, Hunter, Elliott, and Collen??

Damn, that's awwesome.

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

@BigSwitz98 It''s definately been said before, but there you can never say that enough! Such chemistry on stage.

[rwaggs62]

@BigSwitz98 and...BRIAN MAY...

[DAVWAVE]

@BigSwitz98  You might not know this but Queen's connection with Mott is that they opened for Mott, in a 1974 US tour. Which blew me away then, and still does. I saw Queen three times, and MOTT broke up of course.

[scotsmaninusa]

@DAVWAVE queen opened for Mott on the world tour,not just the USA.

[boppah]

@BigSwitz98 You forgot Spike

[mrfloyd93]

April, 1992, all friends of Freddie Mercury was released the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert and the perfomers beginings with Metallica, Deff Leppard, Guns N Roses and other bands and then the perfomers of artists, All The Young Dudes was written by David Bowie

[allandalmz]

tanx dude

[allandalmz]

what year this tribute taken??????/any idea

[maximaximonte]

@allandalmz 1991

[skydogz1]

Roger makes a wall of sound by himself.

[trumsolon]

Roger's powerful drumming makes this soo much better.

[Marikrmen24]

This song wouldn't be the same without Mick's leading guitar, that's one of the things that made this performance perfect!

[antheaize]

Outstanding, excitingly wonderful, a spellbinding

[TheChugulator]

A friggin all-star cast we got goin here

[bigsambino1987]

It's just not fair...I wish I could have experienced this. I was only 5 at the time of this concert. This is real music. What do I have to look forward to, now? Nothing.

[panefuldeath]

Maybe pick up an instrument and do it yourself? We need pll like that right?

[bigsambino1987]

I play a bit of piano, but not well enough to count for anything. There are a few artists out today that make good music, but not very many. Most artists just copy each other, it seems. Shinedown, Muse, Kings of Leon...they're all very original, I think. But as far as songs that really make an impression, that last for years and years...there's not very many.

[Maq400]

@bigsambino1987 i wasn't even born then:(

[bigsambino1987]

Well, I was alive, but I have no memory of it, so I might as well not have been born then... :(

[rowag001]

Phil Collen and Joe Elliott , damn this is the best version of this song i've ever seen

[Marikrmen24]

I totally agree with you... This performance was PERFECT!... Seeing Bowie on the saxophone is just amazing!!

[HollywoodParadiseYes]

MEMORABLE!!!!!!

[Asymmatrix]

The author of the song (Bowie) playing sax and singing backup? There's something you don't see every day.
