Can't help feeling that while Jeff Beck has an incredible level of skill that he doesn't really fit in well with the song or the vocal. RT sounds on great form though.
Hmm. I love Queen and think Roger's stuff is really underrated. And People Get Ready is a fantastic song. Sorry to say though that I'm unconvinced by this as a performance. Roger's voice has deteriorated, and he wasn't Curtis Mayfield to begin with. Plus the joy of this song is the harmonies; they're missing here.

Wonderful match and great performance. I recall Beck & Rod Stewart's 80s single well. Beck makes the guitar sing; and Roger's voice is superb, very similar to Rod's.
Of the 600+ shows I've seen....I saw Beck twice.He never fails to amaze me but he does need a supporting cast. It's sad because Rod Stewart was perfect way back then. Beck-ola is still a favorite!
@DickLodge68 yes Radio Gaga is one of my favorite songs. Rodger is a great songwriter and sounded great backing Freddie. I guess he just dosnt sound great singing this song
@FrozenDodoBird You profile says you are 13? I was 14 in 1982 when I saw Queen. Radio Gaga was a huge hit! Granted Taylor didn't sing it but he was a major force in the band, vocally and musically.
@FrozenDodoBird I think some of the best Queen songs were either written by or sung by Taylor or both. Take Tenement Funster, In Love with my Car, Rock It (get some of the Prime Jive! ), Radio Gaga...etc. A very underrated drummer for many years. The 1982 show I saw he was thumping on the Tympani like crazy! It was awesome!
Jeff Beck just kills me every time I see him play.It's simply effortless and natural for him to make the craziest yet sincere sounds. This is one one my favorite songs. Like him or not, Rod Stewart has a great voice for this! But here you have Roger Taylor? A man I grew up listening to - hell, I have "Fun in Space"...and he's reading the lyrics like Obama from a tele-prompter? It just disappointed me that Roger couldn't come out and belt it out.
@queenchristel If so, I hope with all my heart that they can persuade John Deacon to perform with them ONE more time, cuz was Queen just as much as Brain, Roger and Freddie!!! I really like Johns style of playing, and he`s kinda cute, hihihi!!!
@queenchristel It's okay...you can be French. I'm American. so I'm waiting for all those insults. Queen truly was the greatest for me anyway. I saw them live in Oakland, CA 1982.
@queenchristel Hi, yes that was my second concert when I was 14. Almost 30 years ago but I remember it well. Unbelievable light show and they sounded fantastic! It was the Hot Space tour but they mostly played older songs. The Game was my favorite album and one a my fave songs too! If you have "We Will Rock You - Queen Live in Montreal"...that's the same tour I saw. Sadly, that was the last tour Queen did of the United States.
Now..I do realize that this video IS being presented by Queen's video page but I am still quite surprised by the the sparce commenting on Jeff Beck's playing. Clearly the stand out performance in this video is the guitar work. Roger does a decent job on vocals and yes I love him too and the other member of queen as well, but it's shocking to me that a group of Queen fans fail to recognize Jeff Beck;s contribution to this piece.
I always thought Roger's voice sounded about 50% Rod Stewart, 30% David Bowie and 20% Peter Gabriel. However, Rod Stewart's version of this track with Jeff Beck is MUCH better, in my opinion. Rod was and is so comfortable as front man; Roger (who appears to be reading the lyrics) is decidedly not. I love lots of Roger's solo work though.
@duhg Well, he's used to singing his own songs, so I guess having to read the lyrics isn't all that strange. He does a great performance in songs like I'm In Love With My Car, Radio Ga Ga or These Are The Days of Our Lives. And honestly, why would he need to be a great frontman with Freddie around? ;)
Wow I never knew Roger could sing so well. He kind of sounds like Rod Stewart a bit. Roger you are an awesome song writer and drummer, and now you can add, great singer.
@kimosaby1962 Just an FYI. Roger is the one who hits the high "for meeee" in the opera section of Bohemian Rhapsody. He is a fantastic singer. Freddie & Roger together on vocals - priceless.
@Yo1969Yo Don't forget Brian. His voice plays an important role in songs such as Flash's Theme and Who Wants to Live Forever. Not to mention Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love aren't complete without the three voices.
Brilliant video this....love the tune, the guitar and Roger's vocal. Everything so right about this. Poor Roger seems to have a toothache though.... carried on like a trooper.
@wendizoeykimmy14 lol my tooth ache comment was tongue in cheek. Had I thought so many people would take me seriously I would have said lol at the end. As it was I found it funny to wind people up afterwards for pointing out the obvious... but you know I can't be bothered any more.
