Brian May's comments on the Gloucester show: Great final show tonight on the Queen Extravaganza tour of the UK. It was in Gloucester. I was happy to be in the audience - it was well worth the trip. They performed the album “A Night at the Opera” in its entirety ! I don’t think I’ll ever hear The Prophet’s Song played to that degree of excellence again. Great musicianship, great dedication to detail, and nice presentation all round. Well done QE team. Rock on !

Late response but I suggest listening to it live at Earl's Court '77. Quite different than the studio version, but that's what Queen was all about, they didn't want to simpily do the same exact thing from studio to live, kinda like whats going on here
I can swear this song is extremely difficult. It is almost imposible to sing the acapella part without getting confused with your own voice and lose the right notes and tones. I mean, I've tried thousands times and I can't achieve the part correctly. This man is seriously talented, not even Freddie could do that acapella part live
@@RG-qc7dh It is hard by own Brian's words, the genius behind this composition. If you think you have better ears than him you are probably just tone deaf and did not realized it yet.
Tony Fordham Tyler, the drummer for QuEx, just said on his Instagram stories that EVERYTHING was done live, no tracks. You might not get to read it while it’s still there, as they disappear after 24hrs, unless he saves it to his Highlights. instagram.com/stories/tyler_fn_warren/2457767150449904865?igshid=n1wp4lascd1e
This song is far harder to perform live than many realize - especially for Mr. Martel. This song demands a huge range and the ability to sing in time with carefully set echo effects that allow the singer to sing harmony with himself live. It is much harder to do than it looks and this group does a terrific job. I would not have believed that this difficult song could be performed live again after Freddy passed and the guys do a great job here. I do wish they would come to Detroit...I'd love to hear this live. Apparently lightning struck twice when Freddy and Marc's voices were created. Great stuff. It must be very gratifying for the guys in Queen to hear this music sung and performed.
Enivan Nogueira Technically, he just naturally sounds like Freddie. While when he was singing with Queen Extravaganza, he was trying to sound closer to him, yes, but, the fact of the matter is that even if he wasn't singing a Queen song, he'd unintentionally sound like Freddie at points. Just listen to his iteration of Take on Me. He just has a similar singing voice, end of story. I don't mean to sound rude, however, I just wanted to clear that up, because, well, sounding like someone doesn't mean you're always an imitator
Curtis Peters thats why they picked him as winner in the contest to be the frontman of this Tribute band all hand picked by the Queen members. Awesome job.
So well done! Queen was the #1 "regret I never saw them live" band of my youth. A Night At The Opera was the first vinyl record I bought with my own money as a kid.... still a favorite and this tune a rare gem that I seldom hear anywhere but my own turntable. Maybe I'll hop across the pond to catch TQE over there in Great Britain, mate! Rock on!
Marc is now touring with his own band One Vision of Queen and they are based in the US, though they do tour internationally. I've seen him a few times and he always blows me away.
This is great❤❤ I'm so happy, that they brought this song alive on the stage again. It's so hard song "now I know ","now I know "now I know ". So many people is happy about it and I don't get why are some people so upset and argumentative. I'm grateful for Mark MARTEL. I never had a chance to hear Freddie singing alive, thanks to him I can go to his concert and hear Freddie's voice at least similar to him We are lucky to have him. Freddie was unique only one, but sadly he is not with us anymore. His legacy carries on and through Mark we have a chance to hear it on the stage. I miss Freddie too 😔 and he will always be a king irreplaceable 🤴❤, but I appreciate that Mark is doing that and carry on and he is doing his best and is still humble. That's my opinion. I'm proud of him and guys that they are doing it. They don't have to it's their choice, but they make thousands of people happy 😊♥️ Thank you Mark 🙏💗
Saw QE first tour in Houston. There were people from London sitting next to me who had seen Queen many times back in the day, .they were in tears at the glorious sound brought back live! Martel is fabulous. If you love original Queen.... you'll adore being surrounded by the beautiful sound. I won't go see Queen now unless Martel is with them. Ive honestly tried to appreciate Lambert and cant. No way. This is spectacular! Thank you for posting!!
The first thing I though when I saw the name of the song couldn't believe it. The second thing that came to my mind was "8 minutes" then I checked if this video was 8 minutes length. After that I basement crazy. Great performance.
Holy shit he sung the hell out of that... Freddie struggled singing this every single time he sang it live, often if not always lowering the key. I have loads of Queen bootlegs from ANATO tours and there isn't one comparable version to this. i love Freddie btw so no hate.
+Jester 501 Totally understand what your saying. Even singing lower keys and with vocal nodules holding him back, Freddie's intensity was incomparable. So not hate at all, just truth. But even Brian May recognized this as the greatest he'd ever hear, and I suppose that says it all.
That an artist has difficulty with a song doesn’t poorly color him; that he pushes on, works through or around his difficulty makes him someone to be respected.
I just watched it again today. The impact this song had on me as a kid was just immense. Before yesterday i had not heard it for maybe 30 years but I still to this day I remember the now i knows.... who could forget that? Notes on the performance... well the singer is for sure charasmatic. But he is so as his own man, thankfully not jumping around in leotards or trying to ape Freddie's mannerisms.. The A capella section was stunning. Of course its a cover song but this band transcended above a mere cover tune. These dudes totally and completely believed it and I don't know if it was paying homage or... I don't know. Guitar playing (including bass) was superb, the dude had massive tone and just crushed those bad ass drop D power chords, played bitchin solos, dynamics... all good. The bassist just stands there and does everything right, like the dude in Queensryche (when i saw them I realized what a consummate professional this guy was). Anyway I don't even want to see the other stuff they have for awhile, just to let this set in. I saw somewhere where Brian May complemented these guys and that is awesome. Final thought... Adam Lambert is a talented kid and I get it that he brings Queen an expanded audience. But based on what I saw here I have no reason to doubt that this singer is just as good on everything else. So... musically I think he's a way better fit than Lambert, closer in age to the other guys and probably bring a bit more soul and wisdom.
All true. Follow Marc Martel on his channel. You can't see it in this video, but he plays piano better than Freddie, and guitar almost as well as Brian May. He has written a lot of great tunes and his solo album, Impersonator, is an unknown gem. The drummer in this video to over Roger Taylor's son's place in the live Queen+ tours the past few years.
THIS is my favorite non-"hit" Queen song, and I would venture to say that THIS is the best this song has EVER been performed live by ANY band, period. - Freddy was the King (Queen?), but live he only ever improvised and interpreted the recorded version that I fell in love with all those years ago. Their live performances of it were very special, like all Queen's live performances, but this is a particularly special song to me that brings back very intense memories of friends that I hung out with in college, partying and grooving on this song. - So, to see and hear this rendition, so faithful to the original, performed live like this _really_ touches my soul. - Thank you Marc & TQE for sharing your extremely special gifts here!
Queen still offers Queen Extravaganza's live concert at London Hammersmith for sale. It is a double cd with the first being A Night At The Opera from beginning to end performed flawlessly, then the second cd is the greatest hits of Queen. You would be HARD pressed to tell the difference from Queen except the recording quality is better BY FAR than all the old Queen live albums. AND Roger Taylor himself says that QUEX plays the music better and more perfectly than Queen ever did. So, you are in good company. Freddie truly is irreplaceable as a performer, but Martel's voice does what many thought could never be done, a close approximation of Freddie. I love their work, and hope they will someday return to the USA after having toured England 3 times, Australia and Europe for the past 4 years. Until then, look for Martel's Ultimate Queen Celebration, they have been doing limited touring in the USA and have a rumored Australia tour coming soon.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest Yeah an approximation but what happens is they simply try to much to imitate Freddie Mercury. Not to mention his voice is not pleasurable. Mercury's had a style and a passion in it, Martel id just a fat man moving around and making an over the top effort to replicate the old. Not to mention he does not come close to Freddie when it comes to strong parts of the song. He would never reach anything alone if he did not copy Queen.
@@Narpets2112 I don't really hate him, I just hate the useless fans of his who praise him like a god. I mean he found a good way to make money, why would I hate him for that? I hate some people who take it to the other side though. And I get in his videos to trash them
They did a few of the vocal echoes with Freddie ad-libbing, but you are right. They never tried to deliver an album perfect version like this. You won't find more than a few pieces of this song done by Queen on CZcams. Now, without Freddie, they have no hope of ever even trying.
Freddie never tried to deliver an "album perfect" edition of anything . Music is about passion and emotion, not perfection, at least not duing a live performance. Perfection only exists in the studio. A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event. Freddie Mercury I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show. Freddie Mercury That's just another reason why Adam is the chosen one and perfect fit. Brian May has teased that they may add some surprises in 2017...anything is possible.
slynnc kitty Only a person who has no affiliation with music can say that "music is about passion and emotion, not perfection, at least not during a live performance." You are the one who screams that Martel's Hornets performance was a disgrace. According to your statement that I just quoted, Marc's performance was amazing since it had plenty of emotion and passion and lacked perfection. But it was in a live setting. So why are you so eager to bring it as an example of Marc's immeasurable failure if perfection in a live performance doesn't matter?" Double standards? Ask any musician, perfection in terms of technique and execution matters. With Freddie it didn't because Freddie was a huge star. Every time Adam goes flat, it doesn't matter how much passion and whatever else you say he has, it plain sucks to listen to. Stop talking about music like you actually know what you talking about. Let me quote you for you, "Stating your opinions as facts", Kitty?
M3 m3 m3 So you'd be okay with someone singing nonsense words with no meaning, passion or emotion as long as they sang it perfectly? ROTFLMAO You don't know all that you think you know. Oh, and it's not that Marc's performance at the Hornet's game was imperfect...he screwed it up big time...total mess up. More than and opinion, a fact: Music: an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.
Incandescent.... simply brilliant in every regard. This song was a huge part of my youth and Im re discovering it many decades later. You guys are fantastic. That was reverence. That was emotion. That was sheer power.
If you are interested in Queen covers, you could go to Marc's channel. He also has a lot of original music too. His band Downhere or his cd Impersonator!
This song brings out the progressive rock roots of Queen, but they truly danced around definitions and boundaries. So much better than the state of pop rock today.
Roger Taylor has now said QuEx performs Queen better and more precisely than Queen. Now, granted without the charisma of Freddie or the improvisations of the others, but that is not what they are told to do. Thankfully so. I'd hate to see Martel dressing like Freddie like other cheap cover artists. Just do the music the best it can be done... that is the real homage.
You touched what is to me the ONE Queen song (Bo. Rhap. aside) that no-one (and I mean NO-ONE!) should ever dare to touch - and you bloody killed it! WTG, guys!
This Guy Rocked me from head to toe... i couldn't lift my jaw up for a single second ...... I bow my head before the deity of rock Freddie Mercury and Queen who made such type of aliennetic (trying to invent a word ;)) song, and also to him, the front-man of Queen extravaganza Marc Martel .. dude you are doing a really great job, you are brimful of talent. May you be happy always and keep entertaining ys . Love you :)
My favorite song live when Freddie did it. White Man and the Prophet song. Amazing. Marc was singing in parts of Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Not sure what parts
Excellent performance as always from Marc! Freddies smiling from heaven and telling Brian and Roger to make Marc Martel Queen +s Frontman in time for the Bohemian Rhapsody film.

No he never! My god you people !
Holy s**t! The Prophets Song has always been one of my favorite Queen songs and never thought i would hear it done live as spectacularly as THIS!
Marc is currently doing the whole album on a tour with the Black Jacket symphony which should be awesome considering they've been selling out

Wow! That acapella part gave me goosebumps 😳 great cover 👍🤘
Marc is just the spirit of Freddie's power and vocal performance. Just look at that sweat all over his face, he is giving it all!
I have seen Marc live last Monday with One Vision of Queen. Damn he is so much better now and he was allready good.
Sometimes you just know you are listening to really gifted musicians. The kind that are so good they don’t really know how to mess up.
Just amazing.
WOW! That was awesome. One of my favorite songs by Queen. They all did a great job.
Extremely impressive.
This is not an easy song to pull off. Great job.
OMG. You replicated the acapella part perfectly! Not even Freddy ever did that, he always improvised! WOW.
@Great King Rat Lol what a guy.
Freddie could have but he didn’t
They screwed up in the "la la" part...
It's not exactly the same, but very similar and that's amazing.

AMEN!
Dude, how in the world do you have the courage to perform this song? That's just incredible!
They not only perform it, they do it better than Queen ever did live, and very close to studio perfection.
Because Martell knows he is far superior to Adam fucking lambert.
‘Cause Marc is an insane talent, to quote his band member, drummer Jason Gianni. 😊
Because musicaly Marc is very close to Fred himself.
I wanna make a performance of the live (1977 london) version
This is truly a brilliant performance of a great Queen song!
Wow that crazy. Loved the use of the echo in the middle. Awesome.
Saw QE first tour in Houston. There were people from London sitting next to me who had seen Queen many times back in the day, .they were in tears at the glorious sound brought back live!

This was always my favourite Queen song from the day I bought NATO album back in 1976. A forgotten classic along with Sweet Lady.
Best cover song from Mark.
Without doubt Brian's best-ever track in my view. This is impressive stuff.

@@MilesAway Of course Freddie did. Listen to Wembley. Or any other concert.
This is incredibly impressive. Even Queen never performed the studio version live.
Si lo hizo, pero no tuvo mucho éxito. Por eso no volvieron a incluir The Prophet's Song en las demás funciones.

oooof, that gave me chills.
Flawless cover of one of the most incredible performances
I saw em back in October, I woulda lost my shit if they busted this one out! One of my favorites!
Sadly, Marc Martel's touring schedule became so busy he could not fit Queen Extravaganza into it any longer.

Oh, and it's not that Marc's performance at the Hornet's game was imperfect...he screwed it up big time...total mess up.
More than and opinion, a fact:
Music:
an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.
Wow You really did this song justice.
Definitely my favourite Queen song ever. Excellent cover!
Jamás pensé en encontrarme una banda haciendo este cover!!!....realmente increíble!!!...ustedes ya se ganaron el cielo!!!!
bravo......!!!!
Amazing performance!!!!
Exceptional, brilliant
Incandescent.... simply brilliant in every regard. This song was a huge part of my youth and Im re discovering it many decades later. You guys are fantastic. That was reverence. That was emotion. That was sheer power.
If you are interested in Queen covers, you could go to Marc's channel. He also has a lot of original music too. His band Downhere or his cd Impersonator!
This has been my favorite Queen song since I was a little kid. I think the first time I heard it I was 5 or 6, so, 1976-77? Like 40 odd years now.
This song brings out the progressive rock roots of Queen, but they truly danced around definitions and boundaries. So much better than the state of pop rock today.
Total brilliance, love it !!!!!!!
What an OMG performance. Out of this world
Wow, that rocks.
Awesome!
didn't' think they'd pull that off = that's stunning - and i'm a miserable cynic when it comes to cover bands.
Roger Taylor has now said QuEx performs Queen better and more precisely than Queen. Now, granted without the charisma of Freddie or the improvisations of the others, but that is not what they are told to do. Thankfully so. I'd hate to see Martel dressing like Freddie like other cheap cover artists. Just do the music the best it can be done... that is the real homage.
Awesome ,I should cuz I’m a queen fan from day 1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Outstanding, quite amazing.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
You touched what is to me the ONE Queen song (Bo. Rhap. aside) that no-one (and I mean NO-ONE!) should ever dare to touch - and you bloody killed it! WTG, guys!
Wow, wow, wow..... fantastic.
40th anniversary of first performance of this song) 14th November 1975 (also this is my birthday, I will born 29 years later)
"I like this one"

God damn! This is magical!
FANTASTIC!!! Such talent!
Now that was amazing

huh... i was not expecting that.... that's pretty freaking amazing
Priceless.
Bloody hell!!! hat a superb cover of a complex song..well done!!...Love it
Really really congratulations +++++
Freaking Amazing!!!
Just amazing performance to a very difficult and beautiful song.
Goose bumps of love and joy ❤
Thanks for not overlooking this masterpiece and for including it in your repertoire!
Not even Queen performed it so perfectly.
Por fin una versión en vivo de esta majestuosa canción, cantada nada más y nada menos que por Marc martel.
Phenomenal to say the least!!!
Wow ,incredible ❤
This was absolutely amazing!!!!
One of my favorite live performances ever
I can't believe i'm barely watching this! Excellent performance for this song and specially because it's a live performance!
Esta canción es desgeneradamente dificil, la pesadilla de cada cantante, y Marc viene y la canta igual que la versión de estudio? Simplemente un dios.
solamente flata a señor Martel cantar Innunedo
Casi parecida
Marec martel legandes
The best ive seen what song to cover and proper nailed it
Thanks for the comments. Kudos to the band for putting up with the phone spotlight, and for playing such an amazing song so well!
quoting the lady, "turn the flash off" bc apparently she couldn't put up with it
Hello from Russia! Marc Martel 👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏. Beautiful!
Holy shit.....👏👏👏👏👏
Just saw him Aug. 11th this man can bring tears to your eyes. Unbelievable💖
Rest Peacefully Freddie...
Marc's got your back...
Very respectfully
this is one of my favorite songs from a night at the opera.
Wow Marc I’ve seen this before but haven’t in a while and It just hits you in the face of how brilliant this performance is
Edit I’m crying wow
Lol. Same. I have seen some vocal groups singing this but Marc's rock voice is the only one that hits the spot.
@@alexandra-fu7oqI have too and they were pretty much all musical theatre voices. This is so much better. It’s astonishingly good honestly
I'm almost scared to press. "Play".
I already know this is about to be amazing.
Here goes...
Marc Martel be like : And they called me a mad man.
Super incredible! Amazing!❤️❤️❤️
This Guy Rocked me from head to toe... i couldn't lift my jaw up for a single second ...... I bow my head before the deity of rock Freddie Mercury and Queen who made such type of aliennetic (trying to invent a word ;)) song, and also to him, the front-man of Queen extravaganza Marc Martel .. dude you are doing a really great job, you are brimful of talent. May you be happy always and keep entertaining ys . Love you :)
My favorite song live when Freddie did it. White Man and the Prophet song. Amazing. Marc was singing in parts of Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Not sure what parts
Excellent performance as always from Marc! Freddies smiling from heaven and telling Brian and Roger to make Marc Martel Queen +s Frontman in time for the Bohemian Rhapsody film.
Perfect!!!!!!!
