      And a lot of tea with lemon or lemon and honey for his throat so he can keep singing through his 2 hour concerts. The beer is left in the bottle and 6ften on the piano, possibly for product placement.

      This past weekend, this entire show played at IMAX Theatres. I saw it at a laser dome - holy moly - Roger was/is a beast and you could "feel" it. I saw Queen in 1977, 1978 & 1980 - basically same tour but I saw them in Oakland, and it was close to live but front row and stage - pretty cool

    The beer bottle was on the piano as "advertising" for one of the concert sponsors. The others in the band may have had beer, but Freddie only kept tea with honey to drink during a full set to keep this throat from getting dry. He never drank anything carbonated before or during a performance because he didn't want to risk burping into the mic, he felt it would be disrespectful to his audience. If you want to see what a magnificent front man he was, watch Queen at Live Aid 1985.

      Queen were not big into sponsorship, they used to lose money on touring.
      It was also confirmed Freddie did drink alcohol during a show, usually vodka and beer, it was champagne and sparkling water he avoided because they did make him burp. He actually did a show when he was absolutely smashed on alcohol and could barely walk, in fact he was so drunk he put his pants on backwards.

    Freddie was without doubt the greatest front-man of all time, great voice, amazing stage-presence, full of energy, very sadly missed, died much too young. And he did not drink alcohol of any sort on stage, he had a throat problem causing it to dry-up when singing, he mostly drank tea with honey to ease it. The bottle was a sponsor prop.

      As far as talent and performing ability goes, Devin Townsend is right there with Freddie. However, Freddie is one of the best entertainers and front men. Devin is just a humble, wry front man that jokes with the crowd some. In that aspect, Freddie is still in a class all his own.

    Queen was amazing. Besides having Freddie, maybe the best rock singer and front man ever, every member of the band wrote a #1 song for Queen at some point. Not sure if anyone else did this. Brian May, the guitarist, is literally a Phd in astro physics. And he hand built his guitar, the Red Special, with his dad when Brian was a teen. All super talented.

    Queen is one of the biggest British rock bands formed in 1970. Freddie Mercury had one of the best voices around with an amazing range. He was a real showman as the live concerts show. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is their most famous song but they had so many great hits in the 70's-90's such as "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Love Of My Life", "You're My Best Friend", "Who Wants to Live Forever", "Somebody To Love", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "The Show Must Go On" etc.

    It's so sweet hearing you comment on Freddie's piano playing. His pristine Yamaha will be sold at auction at Sotheby's UK in a few weeks for between 3 and 5 million dollars. He created/wrote songs on piano mostly. Although he did write couple of songs on the guitar... "Ogre Battle" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (in the bath no less!). Keep watching Queen Live... and remember, even though the sound is amazing, it was a totally different time. (mostly addressing the alcohol and drugs you will hear about) *The Live Aid* show is a must watch... worth every 23 minutes.

    I enjoyed your introduction to true greatness! I saw them live in 1978 - my second concert ever. I have to laugh ... Freddie would also laugh at being called, "humble." He was an absolute diva and wouldn't have had it any other way. Neither would I! He was one of a kind, for sure! I'm sure he was a pain in the ass to live with, but as a performer, a star ... he was everything. ❤

    • @fq-nula
      @fq-nula Před 6 měsíci

      Wow. You're way off track here ... If you listen to Freddie's interviews, you'll see that he wasn't a diva at all.
      In fact, you will not find a single person who described Freddie Mercury as a "pain in the ass". The people who lived with him certainly didn't. Peter Freestone, who was his personal live-in assistant, called him "the kindest and most generous friend anyone could wish to have".
      Here are a few quotes from his friends ...
      “He was great. He was wonderful to work with. I have to say that unequivocally. You know, people think he might have been difficult, a diva or whatever; but he wasn’t. He was very democratic, very giving, very supportive of everyone else’s ideas. He was great. Unique.”
      - Brian May on Meeting Freddie Mercury, The Late Late Show, RTÉ Ireland (here on CZcams)
      -----
      "Everyone thinks Freddie was unapproachable, but instead he was an affectionate person and very attentive to others, always capable of surprising you. Sometimes we argued, but he would come back after two days and say: 'I've thought about it......' It was him to keep the peace in the band."
      - Brian May.
      ---
      “Freddie was a gentle, sensitive, and caring person. His entire family was. His parents, sister, all; He was a real old-fashioned English gentleman, unusual for a rock star. [...] On every Christmas, Freddie would arrange to pay for all the meals at hospitals where people were suffering from AIDS or HIV. He would provide Christmas dinners for them, every year."
      - David Wigg, journalist
      ---
      “One day Freddie had a big smile on his face when I came into the studio and he popped a cassette into the player and said, ‘Listen to this, darling. This is going to surprise you.’ And what he’d done was spend the whole morning putting together all the guitar solos that he could find in the work that we’d done, and he’d strung them all together. It was quite amazing. And one of my big regrets is I can’t find that cassette. I never throw anything away. I’m a bit of a hoarder. So it ought to be somewhere. But Freddie was very proud of the stuff that I’d done and that we’d done together.”
      - Brian May
      ----
      "We had big, big dreams. We wanted it all, and we felt we had what it takes. It's funny because if it had been just me and Roger [Taylor, drums], we would never have stuck together. Even though we're so well-aligned in some respects, we're diametrically opposite in everything else. There's not a single subject we don't have opposite opinions about. We needed someone who would be the diplomat. And, strangely enough, Freddie [Mercury, vocals] was that guy. Everybody thinks that Freddie was that flyaway guy, but he was very pragmatic. If he saw a situation that was arising between me and Roger, he would manage to find a way through, a compromise. One of Freddie's great catchphrases was, 'We don't compromise.' But within the band we did. And that's why we survived."
      - Brian May, "Ultimate Guitar", April 2021
      ---
      "In private Freddie was very different from the outrageous performer you saw onstage. He was so thoughtful. When we were recording in the Abbey Road studio he used to bring in a big hamper packed full with exotic food including caviar, salmon, different cheeses and his favourite Cristal champagne. In private he really was a lovely and caring man. And his generosity went far beyond his closest friends and fellow workers. Total strangers regularly benefited from his kindness. If something came up on TV about someone in financial trouble he would send off a cheque anonymously through one of his companies. I remember him sending a cheque off to a couple who were out of work and whose house had been repossessed. He did things like that so many times. He would see something on the news or be told about someone’s hardship and immediately reach for a chequebook. He liked real people. He may have been larger than life and one of the world’s best performers when he was on stage but in private he was very, very human. It’s the old story of the comedian who makes everybody laugh on stage, but off stage has a lot of sadness and sensitivity. You must never believe or be taken by the image. He was like a very rare painting. There will never be another Freddie.”
      - Dave Clark (Dave Clark Five), a close friend of Freddie's
      ---
      “One thing about Freddie, he was very thoughtful. He would remember things. He would buy outrageous presents for my kids, like giant teddy bears. One time we were talking about painters. I told him I had this book from Salvador Dalí which was full of all these amazing things. A couple of days later, he came into the studio and threw a package on to the mixing counsel and said, ‘Open it, open it.’ There was a signed Dalí copy of one of his paintings. That is really nice, I said. ‘No, no… this is for you. I thought you liked Dalí.’ That was lovely, it may have been a little over-the-top, but that’s how Freddie was. He was a generous and gracious guy.”
      - Reinhold Mack, Queen producer and Freddie's close friend
      ---
      “If i were to teach anything about Freddie, it would be the limitess reach of his down-to-earth nature, not pretentious, kind, generous, empathetic and loving while still having super stardom. Not many manage to pull it of and stay real. He really loved his own fans and those who work behind the scenes allowing his concerts and the production of his albums to run flawlessly."
      -Thor Arnold, friend
      ---
      “Because my taste in music is classical and soul, I hadn’t previously paid much attention to Freddie or Queen, but we had mutual friends so one night we went to a club and I met him for the first time. He was great fun, very warm and had a tremendous spirit. He had so much charm. We were having dinner and suddenly he offered me the use of his New York flat whenever I liked, and I was touched by the spontaneity of such a generous offer.I didn’t take it seriously because we had just met but the next time I saw him, Freddie took me aside and said quietly: 'You didn’t take me up on my offer', he assured me, 'I really meant it'. He was generous to his friends and he’d support whatever they were doing, like going to see a play where we appeared just to please us. If I was ever going to see Freddie, I always looked forward to it immensely because I knew I’d enjoy myself in his company.”
      - Susannah York, actress, Freddie’s friend

      The Montreal show was a two night concert set up to be filmed which is why the quality is so good. The film maker intended to use the best parts of each night to create a one concert film for broadcast. They asked Queen to dress the same each night, told the audience not to get to raucous and even expected Freddie to do the same "choreography" both nights. Freddie's reaction was to change his dress, continually try to pump up the crowd and, well, Freddie didn't choregraph his performances so that wasn't even an issue! LEGEND.

    According to Ratty (aka Peter Hence), Freddie's roadie, he always placed glasses of water (with lemon and honey) and Heineken on the piano for Freddie. BTW - Ratty was also the mic wrangler who handed Freddie the mic when he rose from the piano and would take it back when Freddie returned to the piano. Poor Ratty sat crouched behind the piano during the whole concert. Believe it or not, Freddie and Ratty rehearsed the mic exchange until it was perfect.

    Most of those drinks on the piano were beer for the band, Freddys drinks were water and honey, to sooth his throat during the concert. That's not to say that Freddy didn't have a beer or two available there too, if needed.

  • @GunnerAl9
    @GunnerAl9 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Freddie has both cups of tea with honey and beer on his piano. He drank a lot of tea during his performances and towards the end of the concert would move over to beer. There is a video interview talking about the bands preferences of drinks during concerts. Most didn't drink alcohol during the concert. Not a typical rock band of that time with no alcohol and drugs..

    But really they are all so talented. Roger Taylor on drums had a great backup vocal sound. This is an amazing performance highlighting all of them. Freddie didn't really need much highlighting LOL

    Montreal’s version of Somebody To Love is considered perfection by the Queenies! 😁 Freddie wrote this song inspired by his love for Aretha Franklin!! You can watch the same song performed 100’s of times & each one will be uniquely different! When ya get a chance, check out Milton Keynes version, it’s my most favorite! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥
