Anderton Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 This is simply amazing. I was never a Queen fan until I was dragged to see the movie, and all of it sudden, it made sense. If you've seen the movie, this video has special significance...otherwise, it's just plain beautiful. I'd never seen this until YouTube barfed it up as one of its recommendations, I clicked on it, and after picking myself up off the floor...just had to share it. I hope you enjoy it.

Muad’Dib Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I have seen this video. It was filmed before Freddie had passed away. You should check out their early stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuselah Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I've been a Queen fan for the best part of forty years. I wept when it came on the radio that Freddie had died. This is a very poignant video. Here's a man who is dying, and he gives a beautiful performance. A showman to the end. 'The show must go on' indeed. R.I.P. Freddie. Miss you. Edit: Just to add to what paulkondig posted, Queen's early stuff is superb and well worth checking out. If you have time, have a listen to their second album, imaginatively titled Queen II. It's a fine, fine album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCoscia Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 First viewing for me - really liked this. Considering the timeline and Freddie's health, there's much more to take in than just the music and the performance. Steve Coscia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 First viewing for me - really liked this. Considering the timeline and Freddie's health, there's much more to take in than just the music and the performance. Exactly. It adds a level of gravitas that would never happen any other way. Also the contrast to Bowie's last video, Lazarus, is striking - there's not a trace of self-pity or fear in Queen's video, just a self-assured goodbye. Impressive as hell.

nursers Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 It's a great video. I was annoyed that the film played around with the timelines in relation to his health - it wasn't needed.

FXM Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The one that gets me is Mother Love ( ). Freddie was recording it, but left the studio when he felt unwell. Sadly he never returned to finish it, so Brian May sings the last verse. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
