Bring back that Leroy Brown

I just love 70s queen performances.
Especially because Freddie piano playing is just a delightful experience.
In this kind of a vaudeville song you can see him and also Brian playing the ukelele.

there was no queen in the 90's. freddie mercury died in 91'.i liked queen better in the 80's because their concerts were better. freddie mercury learned how to work the stage and involve the crowd. they made better songs in the 70's but concerts were better in the 80's.

I agree that Freddie showed a great showmanship in the 80s, but for example his coice went sharper and sometimes it cracked.

I think in terms of connecting with the crowd the 80s were their best years, but I agree that better songs were made in the 70s and that Freddie's voice was MUCH better during the 70s, IMHO.

@bohemiatotal He had more vocal range in the 70s. But in the 80s, his voice was much more powerful, and he had much more control. (In live performances, that is, absent the luxury of multiple takes).

I think people under-appreciate how well Freddie could control his voice. He is virtually peerless in his ability to manipulate his breath, his vibrato, his falsetto, etc.. There are plenty of singers with better ranges than Freddie, but few could actually use their voices the way Freddie did.

[LukeTheRocker666]

must agree with brightonrock74

I shouldn't say it really but I think Queens earlier stuff really was better to there later stuff!

I am a growing Queen fan so please BIG Queen fans don't shun me too much! :P

[mccartney7890]

Awesome Awesome Perfect Perfect.

Freddie rocks.

I love this music hall inspired song

[brightonrock74]

THIS is why I love Queen. Their fantastic musicianship. It is a shame that Freddie never thought of himself as a great piano player - I really think that Queen in the 1970's was superior to their 1980's music on the back of his fantastic piano playing.

Every live performance of the song is almost without any vocals but it always features Brian's ukulele break near the end.

This is my favourite performance of this song! Really awesome:D I can't get enough of it:D want it back!:)
