If you're calling me an idiot for saying this is not performed live, then you're only making yourself look like one.
This is definitely prerecorded.
Lol Mad brah? Idiot..

@ClassicRockDVD The real answer to the question is that SOME parts of the songs were recorded previously the TV show and some other parts were played live.

@423likeajewel Freddie doesn't have the voice of angels.
Freddie Mercury gives the angels voice lessons.
That's why God needed him.

I think this was a mimed recording for UK's Top of the Pops show 1977, for Queen's First EP release which got to no.17 in the charts. Other similar TOTP Queen recordings were done for Seven Seas of Rhye, Killer Queen and Las Palabras de Amor.

the guitar is played live by Brian on a Greco BM900 guitar (copy of his original Red Special Guitar)



Hmm it's definitely not live, but also another version.. They must've recorded it in advance specially for this.. I mean Freddie looks too relaxed on the high notes, and sometimes you can actually hear his breath get cut off for a new take.. And of course the backing vocals but that could otherwise have been a backing track..

For some reason they recorded another version and mimed it for this TV show. My source for the info is queenpedia
