That was so cool- Only Freddie could get away with things like that- and the band knew every note he did-and could follow him no matter how he switched up a song! We Still Love You Freddie!
Freddie was a true front man. He sgnalled the other players when to come in and when to finish. Probably practiced like crazy. I have read they practiced more than nearly every other band back then.
@@lmao-zc9ln he was! so was brian and fred surprisingly. there are a few different sources that say it was just brian and freddie and others say just brian and roger. i found it here: queenlive.ca/queen/75-12-24.htm
I tell you something, if i was there and i was to of caught a flower that Freddie had thrown it would be hung in a gold framed picture to this DAY no matter how dead and drab it looks. 😍😍
The Hectics, the band Freddie was in at boarding school, covered Elvis, Little Richard and Ricky Nelson. It was the students’ version of the Beatles, according to interviews with Freddie’s classmates. They loved the Hectics. Freddie was not the leader nor lead singer, but did play the piano.
That's true. I had skirts and I had to iron them all the time!😅 He also wore a satin outfit at concert Rainbow 1974 -September . Also in TV shows. The Top of the Pops . oh! those pants and that fur coat🥰🤩🤩
As well as with tighty ones No shirts A pillow case Shorts instead of shirts It's... Freddie! It requires no explanations as to how or why he looks/is great! :) Whatever
This concert and Montreal are my favorite live performances. I mean come on, every Queen concert is top tier epic, but these 2 are on another level. I love Wembley, but I enjoy Freddie on piano all the time.
Montreal concert, doing Another One Bites the Dust. Those were short. Freddie wore those in protest of the film crew. This was the second of two concerts there that were being filmed. The crew wanted Queen to do the exact same show in the exact same clothes. Queen was really angry. Freddy took it a step further as you will see.😂😂😂😂
@@joandeluca6846 Banned from using their own lighting created by John. People in the audience were told to be quiet because the concerts were being filmed. The whole team was furious.❤
Oh this was one on the best live performenc from Queen! I love this video! Brain plays so good the guitar and Freddie sings so beautiful. Roger and John are fantastic too! 4 Gods! I Love Queen! Yeah Let's Rock!
Wow I remember these two songs saw Queen perform them 3 times Great memories....especially in Birmingham Town Hall watching a group of Harley Heavies singing Hey Big Spender, glorious shame Queen never recorded Hey Big Spender
I love this one (we want longer) ! From 0:42 “ Big Spender- Shirley Bassey”, a Song covered by Queen in 1971 during a show at Forest Hill Hospital ; Barry Sheffield is came see their performance, says: “we have to sign with Queen” ! And it is the beginning of their success.
CARLOS EUGENIO CARLOS i mean, we can all agree that elvis is ICONIC. well know by many. but queen is said to have some of the best performances in rock history. ask a kid, do you know who elvis is? they’ll say yes. ask them to tell you a song, they won’t know one. ask a kid if they know queen, they might say no. ask them if they know we are the champions and we will rock you, they’ll say yes 100%. idk, just my two cents.
That Queen was doing Cy Coleman’s Big Spender in their earliest shows - 1974 - says a helluva lot about Freddie and the band. The song was a killer from the musical Sweet Charity, initially a book by Neil Simon, then the musical in 1966, conceived and choreographed by Bob Fosse, then the film. Here’s the whole number from a Fosse tribute: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-st7VE5LS4ec.html The single singer who covered it best was probably one of Britain’s best, Dame Shirley Bassey, who also notably put her huge voice to the theme from “Goldfinger.” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5JG-J1ZTGgw.html Queen would have known all this. The point is Freddie and Queen were filling out their shows with extended encores of all sorts of music (Elvis, Gene Vincent, Bing Crosby), already demonstrating a variety of influences. That’s how bands become legendary.
