[loftgroov]

As an Englishman, I dread to think who they'll wheel out out for London 2012, but they won't be in the same league as these too.

Just brilliant.

[svsblackdragon96]

AMAZING

[Unehrbar]

great !

[LadyBlekney]

Freddie was a composer and a creative genius, he could write a lot of kinds of music not only popular music (the album Barcelona for instance). He could sings opera and he loved it. He decided write popular music with Queen. Freddie like baroque artists ( when theatre were superseded by opera ) communicate his work in direct and emotional involvement to delight the stadium audiences. Common people enjoy with majestic performances-

[Cujucuyo]

4:34-5:32 was the only flaw in the Overture Piccante... why did they add those God awful chants? =(

[deliriousTT]

Totally agree

[Diosibundo]

@Cujucuyo

Oh God... yes, that was truly God Awful!

[paddycake1960]

beautiful!

[plutao]

Fuller this two voices are the brightest stars in our universe

[aquadragonspirit]

Loved him then. Love him still.  My heart aches for the sad loss of him. What an absolutely magnificent performance - Beautiful!

[LUCENAJOSENILSON]

Fiquei emocionado....não tenho palavras...uma maravilha de vídeo.

[dsenRuskin]

Freddy's profile is beautiful, overbite and all! Love to Montse and Freddy!

[earlyAMbirds]

SO MUCH POWER, IT'S MAGICAL!!!

[atilla029]

СПАСИБО!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Antheiaa]

The piano starting at 5:04... oh my God!!! :)

He really was a genius.

What has happened to music since... it's just sad.

[nthingtoofear]

How nimble his fingers must have been... It's unconscionable that he was taken away from us.

[bigbadbeethoven]

You're kidding, right? He wasn't playing the piano. And he didn't write the part. All the scoring was done by people who knew the instruments. He didn't have a clue.

[nthingtoofear]

When those people who "have a clue" compose in part or whole 25 albums come find me.

[bigbadbeethoven]

It's one thing to write a melody and words. It's quite another to score it for Orchestra or be able to play the parts. People who don't have a clue, like you, don't realize that or you wouldn't have said what you did. Don't get me wrong, I liked Freddy Mercury and some of Queen's songs. But to compare him to Bach, Mozart or Beethoven like some here, or to call him a GENIUS just shows how little people making the ridiculous claims know about music.

[nthingtoofear]

You do realize that the music on the album Barcelona (1988) was arranged by Freddie Mercury. Complete with all musical scores. Additionally, he is widely known to have written music for a wide variety of instruments including all of those played by the original members of queen: piano, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, and bass as well as several others. And, I have no idea why you think I called him a genius, although I will now. He and his three hundred million record sales.

[bigbadbeethoven]

LOL no it wasn't. His friend he met (was it Mike Molan) arranged and scored all the music. Freddy produced it and got arrangement credit for the little bit he did, but MM arranged and scored it. He also played all the piano parts, not Mercury.

[nthingtoofear]

Actually he didn't but enjoy believing that. Try looking it up.  Mike Moran did some arranging but Mercury did the majority.

[LadyBlekney]

Mike Moran (spaking in Freddie Mercury: Untold Story): I think for my money, Freddie Mercury is perhaps the finest interpreter of a song I've ever worked with..I've never seen anybody that gave absolutely everething in every performance. He was the most extraordinary person to watch, so I'd put Fred right up with the very best of all time"

[koronja]

ok I agree with you on that"call him genius"but he sure was very talented,gifted musician,singer,songwriter,art­is vhatever and I am very greatfull to him I could be part of his work,by leting the world to know,to see to experience.Freddie offten said that he is not the leeder of the band and there are so many people behind his fame,so he was greatful to them allways.

He was a good person,but he was not carefull enaugh,so sorry for that.

[pguidez]

you certainly have all the clues in the world, but not the one for respect, cuz you don't write Mercury's name properly. what a lake of respect! Then you forget to speak about feelings in music. No respect, no feelings, then you speak about music? nuff said

[Orbster25]

I agree with you to an extent...but still writing a melody is also very difficult!...nonetheless though..orchestrating a melody is also just as difficult!...I'm sure all great artist collab with musicians to get the finer result of a work...even Mozart..he must have gotten help and inspiration from someone or his actors or singers...he couldn't have done it alone!

[koronja]

@Orbster25

that is right and we thank to all those who helped,suported him along the years and worked with him to get him where he was...on the top..in our hearts:)

[Kasai93]

I fully agree with you!

The piano at 5:04 gives me the pimples xd

Actually, the whole song does =)

[normanvonputz]

i agree, once in a while we get the kind of beethoven mozart, strauss freddie. and then its nothing.

[globoargentino]

Simply A M A Z I N G !!!!! Thanks for share. Greg.

[renatasatori]

masterpiece..

even with the jedi maestrfro om the beggining

[DENNISinMunich]

i love the part at 5:37!! His voice sounds great at every height!

[MrKnopf]

The whole ,,Barcelona - Suite" is such a masterpiece! I love QUEEN, but maybe THIS was Freddie's peak (or, at least, one of many peaks!).

Besides Michael Jackson the most-stunning, most - amazing, greatest and most-awesome singer of all times!

A man with so much passion, with so much love... Seeing him singing Barcelona, you can feel and see this fire, this passion - so beautiful!!! !!!

Barcelona should thank Freddie Mercury FOREVER for this MONUMENT he built for the city!

[Sudschick610]

Dear Dave, You MADE this? It's fantastic. This is the first time I've ever seen it. I prowl You Tube for hours every day, but somehow missed this one. I have it saved to my favorites, so I won't lose it. Thanks so much. I love it.

Sudsy

bravo pour cette video!

[jkws]

"To yourself be true" they say to eachother as each receives love, respect, and strength from the other. The Diva and the Diety....what a Team!

[jkws]

....a synchronic explosion of sound, harmony, emotion, and their most precious possessions.............a Big piece of Art in its purest form. Thanks for the Magic and the Majesty.

[jkws]

...most precious possessions?......that which is most valuable, most private, to us all.........our feelings.

[jkws]

The next two lines after "to yourself be true" are backwardly masked:

eurt eb dog fo nam (man of God be true - backwards)

nam a ma I, nam a ma i (I am a man, I am a man - backwards)
