Frank Turner - Somebody to Love (Queen cover, live) - Reading Festival 2011, 28 August 2011

Wow! The highlight of Reading 2011 for me! After playing a storming set on the main stage earlier in the day, Frank Turner also played a fantastic set on the Lock Up Stage as the Special Guest. This Queen cover was amazing. In his Lock Up set, Frank also sang a Billy Bragg cover with Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzrOemdH6-w). More on the brilliant Frank Turner at http://www.frank-turner.com/ and on Queen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(band) (Actually, there were some other great Queen related moments at Reading 2011 too - Brian May joined My Chemical Romance on stage in their encore, and there was an epic mass sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody in the NME/Radio 1 tent before Noah and the Whale came on!) Am uploading some more Reading clips too. More on the brilliant Frank Turner at http://www.frank-turner.com

I remember nearly actually falling over when he hit that high note. Was not expecting that! Absolutely brilliant.

Lock up tent > main stage!

I used to have a friend who said he can't sing, she's now ashes in the english channel

i saw him yesterday in Graz (Austria).. definitely one of the best, funniest, most awesome shows with the most good vibrations that i've seen for a LONG LONG time!

[riotgirlsquared67]

to whomever the person was who said he was flat...do you not understand music? He was singing in a different key...that is not being flat...believe me, I am hyper-critical of people who are flat and he was most definitely NOT flat.

'I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life' - yes, he damn well does!

Great to watch this again - thanks.

Грубее , чем в оригинале:( Хорошо спето, но нет волшебства, присущего музыке Queen.

He did this at the apollo last saturday it was absolutley awesome! He got the whole crowd dancing and singing, that is the true spirit of Freddie, the ability to entertain and frank did that in spades on saturday! And he can easilty do that with his own songs, for me when he does this cover it feels like a heartfelt tribute

@nordhorny You don't understand who he is, what he stands for and why so many people are fans of him. You're needless negativity is not welcome here.
