Roger Taylor - I Want To Break Free (Band Du Lac)

[spektrowski]

Well, you know, as far as I remember, Freddie also sang I Want To Break Free live in D major rather than the original E.

[WagaoCCCP]

I love those gils of backing vocals!!!

[BOMGOBONGO]

why all those penguins among the audience?

[queenruleok]

! quite like Roger's take on this, quite suits his voice. Cant say much for the band though!

[hopalongmom]

The Band SUCKS!!! But Roger is GREAT!!

[cornflower10]

Rogers still got it.

[LIVEREALFOOLED]

WISH I WAS ROLLIN WITH THIS CROWD ITS STRANGE BUT ITS TRUE

[TheMarkKnight]

Key dropped one tone!!! Roger is getting old!!!

Shitty arrangement!!!

[trumsolon]

@TheMarkKnight

The arrangement is certainly worse than when Queen does it, but Roger has always sung it in this key, and on the Queen+Paul Rodgers tour they played it in D, as they do here.

All singers have different voices. I Want To Break Free suits me best in F#, a whole step above the original, but that doesn't mean I am better than Roger or Freddie.

[TheMarkKnight]

@trumsolon Roger has never sung this, Freddie did. As far as I know. But Roger always had a higher voice than Freddie, so, the fact he's dropping the key means he's getting old.

Are you a guy or a gal?! 'cause singing this song in F# for a man has to be quite hard...

[dickyhart]

@TheMarkKnight

Roger has sung this quite a few times. it was in the set for his electric fire tour.

[killerqueen501]

@trumsolon "that doesn't mean i am better than Roger or Freddie".... yeah, i think that's a pretty safe thing to say my friend!

[jsw11984]

@TheMarkKnight If you can sing it in its original key when you are 60 (when this was uploaded, he's 62 now) then good for you but most people's voices do change when they get older. Bruce Springsteen is a good example, but that doesn't change they fact they are still good singers

[jbelmaestro]

Roger Taylor, excellent drummer and excellent singer!

[cooljooles]

Have to wonder if Roger asked the audience to "rattle their jewellery!"

[koukoui100]
