Queen - Seven seas of Rhye Live At Budapest '86

[wetfloyd666]

3 guys are retarded

[TodayOfTech]

My grandmother didn't go to this concert, but Queen performed at the opening of the 1980 summer olympics, so my grandmother went to see Queen on July 19, 1980. She remembers that they played ''We are the Champions'', but the doesn't remember if they played ''Seven seas of Rhye''. At the performance, Freddie didn't have his mustache yet.

When Freddie died in 1991, my friend's mom went to his cremation.

Long live Freddie Mercury!!!

[unholyARBITER]

Rhye as Freddy called it was an imaginary place where he and his sister played as children

[JohnnySton3r]

after all these years of kinda liking queen I still dont know what rhye means

[GantuDM]

Beautiful.

[88robi88]

I really love when he sings "I stand before you naked to the eyes", he sings that in a different way from the others versions of this song! Freddie is fantastic!

[francho292006]

yes, i love that part of the song in this version.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

Why is this live version in Eb rather than the original key of D? It is probably just a shift that happened when recording it

[Gregsynth]

It was filmed 1 frame to fast (25 rather than 24).

[mrluckylemon]

incredible pianist

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

Wow!!!! Freddie was phenomenal.....as usual!

Best piano intro ever!!

FREDDIE - THE GOD OF ROCK - !!!!!!

Does anybody know if this was before or after Wembley?

[globalist19]

after, at the 24th of July i think

[nthingtoofear]

Wembley was the 11th and 12th of July. Budapest was the 27th.  Wikipedia "Magic Tour" for all tour dates.

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

nthingtoofear.....Thank you very much for that info! So this was after Wembley......Busy summer! They were absolutely wonderfully amazing! And Freddie.....Freddie was just so awesome beyond words!!! The best - ever!!!

QUEEN ROCKSSSSSS!!!!!!

[nthingtoofear]

Agreed!

[ebradbrah]

Majestic

[drumfreakmike]

Freddie was really all over the place in this concert, really wonderfull :D

[sloth94]

how many ppl come to that concert??? i heard at Knewborth were 300.000! did was in Budapest more ppl?

*sorry for my english ^^"

[procentusik]

In Budapest 80.000

[daidi0121]

Oh no big deal...Only 8,000 more than wembley xD Jk

Good job Queen

[Vitas555Solos]

OOOOO

WHAT A CONCERT

[TheFactful]

It's the best because Budapest was their top. They reached the top here.

[samuelyeah]

why the whole concert sounds a semi-tone higher than the others presentations?

[werthersoriginal123]

i wonder who is more remembered, Freddie Mercury or John Lennon?

[shempone]

Depends what part of the world you go to

[ionutk9]

both

[MyInnuendo1984]

I think Freddie, because he had more glamour, better voice etc.

But John Lennon was a good musician too. (95% from Freddie)

[Quetzalcoatl83]

Just remember: John and the Beatles were a big inspiration to Freddie. I Like both! The Beatles and Queen rocks!

[PLATOON72]

@Quetzalcoatl83 Beatles sucks.

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

both musical gods, both obviously!

[rockoqatsi]

SO not fair!

[Ricky91993]

Both Legends man!

[capoministrante]

......bellissimo..........

[AscendentInLeo]

This gig was better than Wembley

[shempone]

I agree...

[dsquared20]

dio fatto a a persona

[wiliiik]

tragic on this perfect video is only the thing, that most of that people didn´t even know anything about Queen..fu####in´ communism

[scarfacedan09]

Well then it must have been a musical orgasm for them

[Vadergeek]

...Sweet.

[kayonalarsen]

Wonderful, thank you for posting.

[samuelyeah]

this is the most awesome-f*ckng-great concert that i have ever seen.

[Cristopherqueen]

esta subida de tono, el audio escuchenlo!

[al853]

No está subia de tono, está acelerada en un 3 o 4%, como todo el conceirto de Budapest.

[daidi0121]

Is it me or did Roger get a little more meat on his bones?

[greatthoughtthinker]

does anybody know what kind of pants john and brian are whering? please tell me if you know!!!!!

[mixxmexx]

gay?

[szadam24]

If you mean the guitar straps instead of the underwears, then I think Brian used a custom brown leather strap, and John? perhaps a Fender strap, I'm not sure.

[QueenIsAGreatBand]

this version is the best!

thanks for uploading it!

[ArcticaSteel]

If you enjoy any genre of music, let it be metal to rock to, dare i say, rap music...You MUST respect Queen in their style of song writing that makes EVERY Queen song unique and amazing to listen to. Every member had a say and they did their songs, their way and we dont really see that anymore...or the amazing guitar and voice dubs! Queen are the Kings of that. One of my altime fav bands and they are one of my many influences to pick up the guitar...and im 17 :P!

[ECWNET]

damn, fingers that fast must've made mary austin a very happy lady ;-)

[2blestuff]

lol

[angedelile]

Fantastic singer, the top!

Thx!

[greatthoughtthinker]

This has to alreay be one of my favorite songs and I juat discovered it 3 seconds ago!!

[lacika67]

I was there in 86!!!!! great show!!!!

[Alex4uall]

Lucky you

[megan747]

wow, total envy just like consumed me for a sec there. wow! they must have been AMAZING to watch!!!!! some bands just have such awesome presence on stage, and queen would definitely have been one of them!!!

[PLATOON72]

@lacika67 Can't believe it!!! You're the luckiest man in the world!! This is the best live ever!!!

[AscendentInLeo]

The Gods were with them that night

[666Ytreggiomen666]

Maybe they were the Gods...

[AscendentInLeo]

Yes this Is awesome Magic

[tremah05]

only a minute... but what a minute !

[preposterous3637]

That was short...

[Gaboramone]

The Piano Sound perfect!!!!

[wvoutlaw2002]

Fred was at the top of his game here. His voice was tired by the time of the Wembley and Knebworth concerts.

[AscendentInLeo]

Magnificent

[lovemusic7733]

wish it was the whole song!!

[FreddieMoon7]

Escuche q freddie no tenia tecnica, pero aun asi nunca tuvo tendinitis...y tanmbein no he visto a aalguien q toque como el....

[ONEVISION25]

Grandioso! Este es el hombre!. Sólo el hacia vibrar y hacer saltar de alegria a sus fans. La musica de QUEEN tiene mucho movie!!!

[titalogo]

that jacket is rly guud compared to the yellow one..

[Shim0523]

I never understood how Freddie is holding the mic,

like a can. This is funny

[b0nsc0ttr0ck]

stop this at 1:08. is that fat guy Roger?

[luhvanny]

lol Rog is really looking fat at 1:08, but that was certainly the wind :) We all know that he always had a little "beer belly" but not that big! =p

[matte85]

he was skinny in th 70s :)

[preposterous3637]

are you saying he wasn't skinny in the 80s and 90s? look at the music vid of "i'm going slightly mad." do you want him to look like that all the time?

[aloofgypsy]

He was skinny in "I'm going slightly mad" because by that time the AIDS had taken over his body... it was his last music video.

[spepper]

I believe his last music video was Days of Our Lives

[TaylorMayed07]

u goin blind, coz i didnt see no fat guy....its the lights tht made his shirt look like tht

[iluvbrianmay123]

wat you talkin about? god i hope you aint talking about Queen being fat are you?

[preposterous3637]

lol...i don't think freddie was ever fat...or brian, roger, or john at that point either...

[iluvbrianmay123]

i'm not saying that the band was fat, i'm saying that there not fat at all

[lovemusic7733]

it's the horizontal stripes...they don't flatter anybody!!

[Ratshee]

wow, Freddie's clothes from Wembley 1986 look pretty much like a copy of those from Budapest :).

[andionita]

listened to their 70's version and now to this. the contrast is cool, and it emphasizes the turn they've put in their music (or maybe the global tendency?)

[centroavante]

Sooooo cooooool

[stale56]

the piano part sonds like its mezzo piano- piano(moderately soft-soft)

[ElPopularVale]

whoa what an spectacle!

[stale56]

vocals do sound better here than wembley

[TheTruthFairy]

This is amazing. I didn't know that fingers could move that quickly

[superdlg]

when i heard the orgiginl sevens seas of rhye i was like there is no fuking way they could do it better... but i was wrong

[tigreluis78]

Audio from Budapest sounds better than Wembley, I think.

[matte85]

Their first hit.

[sgtwhiplash]

i have this on dvd and video so i can hear the geniuses that are queen time and time again!

[Vacz]

Propably the best Queen concert. Im not saying this becouse I live in Hungary :D

[Fabiball]

very nice!!!

but it seems that freddie forgot the lyrics...he mixes the 1st and 2nd strophe

[Alex4uall]

They always do that in "Seven seas of Rhye", to make it shorter.

[AnoKaze]

Absolutely amazing, are there any more vids of Queen at Budapest?

[coolcat82]

thank you that's great
