One of Brian's passions is working with delays. He did it a lot on Brighton Rock, they did it with the vocals on The Prophet song, and he did it here too!
Brian would have been around 46 at this time, because he was a year younger than Freddie and Freddie was 45 when he passed in 91. That orchestra piece with the drum solo is the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky and yes I believe the Beatles also used it in one of their movies. It is a bombastic and incredible piece of music. I have never seen this performance on any other reaction channel before, though I have watched the concert footage in the past. Thanks Rory and also to those who suggested it. Thrilling from start to finish. Freddie made it very clear to Brian that he should continue to go on with his music and should not feel as though he needed to keep it from him, he actually wanted to know what Brian was doing, they had always shared their new stuff in the past and Freddie was still very interested in Brian's career.
I now have a lump in my throat. Cozy was a big help to Brian. They were mates. Cozy had no family and did not know from where he came. Brian trusted Cozy to give him an honest appraisal of his efforts. I believe it was just after the recording of Brian's second album, Another World, that Cozy killed himself in a really fast car. Unintentionally, of course. Brian has had a lot of troubles in his life, as many do. I have heard Brian say that he suffers from depression this time of year. Hence the lump in my throat.
@Rory_Reacts If only I could sponsor this entire concert -- I would! I wanted you and your followers to know the true rocker Brian is. Introducing Cozy Powell (Brian's best friend) is important to this time in Brian's life. 'Resurrection' is *the* story of the demons Brian fought during that time in his life both personally and career-wise. For us, fans --absolutely incredible, meaningful music! Yes, generous person in ways only true 'stans' know. Thank you Rory!!
Think Brian dyed his hair. Funny. Brian finally came out of his depression and was resurrected after the death of Freddie and his father and the end of his marriage. Anita was in his life.
