- Do you love QUEEN? Check out my channel!
Here's the only available live recording of Fairy Feller's Master Stroke.
This Live Montage uses video from 19/20th November 1974 and audio from 31th March 1974 (which was unfortunately pitch-corrected).
This Queen live recording was released in 2014 as Queen - Live at the Rainbow '74.
Rumours says that there was a improvisation version of this song, performed in 1975, when someone from the audience shouted for it.
Queen Live Montage is my own idea of making compilations. It's similar to videos like "Queen Through The Years", but not exactly. Those videos are usually quite random, poorly edited with multiple audio sources etc.
My Queen Live Montages series is different - it uses only one audio source per video, I don't mix videos with different aspect ratios. The idea is to make a CONSISTENT and aesthetic compilations by using best available video feeds. And - the most important point - to show the most interesting moments and the best angles.
It’s hard to believe this song is about a painting. A painting by Richard Dadd. 1855
Seriously
What painting?
why is it hard to believe? it is made in the same feel and compliments perfectly
And such a tiny painting... Lots to see, though! :-) I once stood in front of it (@Tate Britain) whilst listening to the song and trying to find all the characters Freddie sings about. Had always wanted to do that!
No it's hard to belive that this live rec has been pitch corrected.
I googled this thinking, 'there's no fucking way there's a live version of this...' but queen will always pleasantly surprise you.
The audio was released in 2014 on Live at the Rainbow '74 (31/3/1974)
hahahaha fuken same
he can always sing his songs live
he can always sing his songs live
I love when that happens! :)
Thumbs up for John Deacon..
captain cow 👍👍👍👍
Big yes. Deacon so good here
captain cow
Fuckin love Deacon.
I LOVE DEACON SO MUCH
John Deacon says thanks
If time travel were possible, I would go to that night at the Rainbow
Me too
To see the bootleg
Same
Rock Montreal too..... :)
Me too
Absolutely magic. Best Freddie's era, as a composer and singer.
For me, best Freddie's era is 1971-1991 ;-]
And he was damn good-looking in the 70s:))))
@@discodeaky4627 deep dive to queen songs my deAr
His whole life was his best
Freddies Piano Era ....Just spectacular
If rock and roll existed during King Arthur's days, Queen would have been the house band. This is majestic metal!
Wade Harten hell yeah
Yes!! The early stuff is part magick!
I love the epic tales that used to sing Queen
@@jeaninealcantara2182 That's why my favorite album is 'Queen II' (1974), especially the 'Dark Side' of it. Tbh, my favorite Queen albums are the ones from 1973-76. The others had great hits, but they weren't masterpieces like Queen II and A Night At The Opera.
@@gsantana3 yeahhhh 👌👌👌
I don't have words... is a masterpiece
I hope someday we will watch real footage of this song. Maybe there are some lost footages of the show, when it was recorded (31/3/1974) or 1/3/1974 (Blackpool), but it isn't very possible.
***** That's the thing... there is video footage from this night, but today only for part of the show. Somewhere, in some dusty box somewhere... we hope! : :-)
Queen Productions says there's 38 minutes long video recording. Sheetkeeckers bootleg is 38 minutes long. So probably songs included in this bootleg were recorded on video. Too bad there's no Master Stroke. But we shouldn't be sure that it wasn't recorded.
@@BobHarley you can buy the albums queen 1 and queen 2 enjoy.
I can listen to them on Spotify
A very strong, unusual and impressive excerpt of the show. There is something magical in Queen's early period.
Personaly i say that 70's Queen is the best
Gentelman *Puka* i back this theory
The first four albums...
Really? :-D this video is fake :-D don’t you see?
@@danalexpiano The video is a montage from a live concert, yes. But still, it's an excerpt of that show) And basically I meant the rendition of the song.
I keep expecting them to go into "Nevermore" at the end! :D
Live version of Nevermore would be nice!
+Bob Harley btw thank you for upload this. were you thd one who remaster the tape to media? how much a headache it would be i imagined
Queen Productions remastered it.
Just watch the hole concert then you will maybe see it. Google for Queen Concert at the Rainbow 1974
At least we have the BBC "live" version.
This is a great song. It's progressive rock. With his great melodic voice, this IS a masterpiece.
Queen have their own style on some songs like this. I want to make a better version of this video (without Freddie at 0:20, and I must replace some clips from old VHS release with new clips).
+Bob Harley oohh i could only pray you could do it. thank you for the hardwork. that must have been a headache to done. kudos...very much for you
It's not rock, psychedelic or progressive
It's Queen 😍
This is definitely Not prog rock. Are you deaf or ignorant??
I love this song that unfortunately is unknown or underestimated by many people. For me a masterpiece!
Ferrando Giovanna about this time is where I found Queen..good times💖
@@wreckofthehesperas8323 the parody of dont stop me now is where i found queen
the parody name is:dont ban me now
All kudos to Freddie, but Roger Taylor playing drums while singing this blows me away. A legend!
Great early queen. if you want to see a young band that reminds me of if early queen in there own way with a great drummer singer check out the warning. The song dust to dust live Lunario . From the warning channel blow you away
E. A. : Just like the band “The Raspberries”, I’m always amazed how they could do that live.
So many people don't know just how good Freddie Mercury was.
Точно, для меня здесь Фредди - открытие Новая грань его таланта- бриллианта Thanks a lot Bob Harley
And so many people dont know just how pitch corrected and autotuned this song is.
Stupid it is a live
@@kadventure u dumb, queen diDnt use auottouen for 70s, this is lIve it has no auto tune, AND COMPARE TO MODERN ARTISTS TODAY THEY ARENLTERRALY A COMPUTER SINGING GO AWAY
@@user-ld6is4ni3d This concert was realeased in 2014 so yeah prretty much autotune.
This live version nearly is a different song. So fantastic. I love Queen forever.
like most of early Queen songs, like Father to Son
@@BobHarley I agree. I prefer most of their songs live to the studio versions. Not that I don't like the studio versions, but I almost always like the live versions better. Except '39. I really love the version on the album better, with Brian singing the lead and Roger's soaring falsettos that he was pretty much never able to reproduce live, since he started to lose his range not long after.
@@anij8226Yeah, Roger does do the falsetto part perfectly at Hyde park and 77 Detroit, but after that he isn’t really able to hold it all the way through though he does still sound beautiful
A magical, fantastical, extraordinary, literally out-of-this-world Mercury song. One of Queen's most extraordinary creations. The original was brilliant but it shows Freddie's incredible vocal prowess to be able to sing a song like this so brilliantly live. Thanks so much for posting this video it's amazing to see this live performance of this Queen song I've loved for decades.
Ommggg this voice 0:27 🥵🥵😍it’s amazing how Freddie’s voice changed trough the years, it became “rougher ” with the cig and of course ‘cause he grow up. His voice in the late years was very very powerful, but even in the early stages like here in 74, he already had a beautiful, angelic voice, very « young » voice. He was a genius and a true artist, I think that even people who are not queen stan can admit it. 🤩🤩
I just learned that this was overdubbed, pitch correction, etc. Its not real. Like 88 percent of Queen concerts are overdubbed. And ESPECIALLY this one.but I am still a HUGE fan 😊
Abby Dreher actually this song has only been pitch corrected, since this was not on the original planned release (which featured 8 songs from the show) they didn’t overdub it, in conclusion, the audio is 100% live, but QP decided to pitch correct it. most of the ovedubs were also removed from the rest of the show and all flubs were adjusted digitally.
Sciadi abby dreher yeah I also learnt afterwards that this gig is hugely overdubbed. There’s a video on CZcams which compares the original vs the overdubbed version ! It’s a shame that most of Queen live albums are like that because without anything Freddie’s voice is amazing. That’s why I usually listen to their live performances via bootlegs on gregsynthbootlegs channel for exemple the quality is often not very good but nothing is corrected and not any part of the show is cropped !!
He is amazing
@@comradeabby3141 most overdubs r unnecessary and dont sound better or worse apart from this song which i think is probs different but i cant find the original
00:50 Do you hear that sutil falsetto at the end of the frase? That's Roger's beautiful voice imitating Freddie's. Perfect voices.
Yeahh but we should use earphones for a better quality
*subtle
TheDancing Queenie English is probably not their first language, it was just one mistake
@¿ TheRealQueenie ? we love some discrimination
most probably a studio overdub, I would say almost surely Freddies line form the original studio version. And all voices heavily autotuned - just look (hear) how strangley they all blend on "down", they phase indeed :-D
QUEEN II , i think is by far their best album
Never knew they ever played this live and what a superb job they made of it.Such a complex song and one of my all time favourite Queen tracks.Amazing that Freddie wrote this after seeing the painting by Richard Dadd.Awesome stuff.
yeah, that's really incredible. To make such a song out of a picture and to perform it live like that... unbelievable and unimaginable nowadays. I am overwhelmed by this song. Music in its perfection.
Freddie had the painting in his mansion in London. It was his favourite.
This is a compilation of video fragments from different shows. Recording is also not live.
This song is so underrated! It's a whole BOP
the last "fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend" is ... wow.
chills everytime
Best gem of the whole Queen discography, Fairy Feller/Nevermore are the most underrated 4 minutes of the band
Absolutely agree!!!! Just brilliant!!
YASSSSSS
They last a bit more than 4 mins pal
I'm totaly blown away, did'nt think theycould do it live - fantastic
4 people are a dirty laddio
make that six dirty laddios!
count me in!
Out of 1100 people only seven gave it a thumbs down. That's pretty incredible.
HAHAHAHAHAA
Up to 14 dirty laddioes!
I am speechless...
same
One of their most complex studio masterpieces almost impossible to do live, as is most of Queen II, but I still love it, wish I was there!
Incredible! Do you have any memorabilia from it, did you ever see them again?
This is not live and video is not from this audio.
The first two albums are very heavy, prototype metal with a medieval theme with songs like March of the Black Queen, Ogre Battle, White Queen, Nevermore, My Fairy King, Great King Rat......and still my favourites.
So true
Fancy being up there playing this and knowing you are the bollocks. Knowing you are fucking perfection. These guys were this.
Richard Dadd probably is ready to rise from his grave to listen to his painting being musicalized like this. Beautiful!!
1:53 there is like a little “tremble” in freddie’s voice when he sings the word “he” (... is the leader) and i LOVE it, i keep rewinding it because it sounds so amazing even though it’s only a fraction of a second
I think It's called melisma or vocal ornamentation
very difficult composition to play live.....excellent video!
Very hard to sing live, for Mercury and above all for taylor at the peak of its counter tenor effort (and playing drums at the same time). The ogre battle/master stroke/nevermore combo is one of my fav rock moment ever. Incredible artisits!
not to mention all the falsettos roger had to do
Roger was asked about this and he said he didn't find it particularly difficult to sing and play drums, even when singing harmonies and such. He said he gets asked about that a lot and he just never found it the least bit difficult. I think that speaks volumes about hiss musical talents.
La canción es tan pero tan exigente q es muy difícil tocarla en vivo hasta para el.propio Queen, que maravilla de canción.
Freddie delivering his master stroke with that falsetto live! Best Freddie here in 74
What I love about this particular performance is that you just get the three voices harmonising together without any double/triple tracking which they did on their albums. They sound so great with just Roger on the higher line, Freddie middle and Brian on the lower. I’m a particular fan of unedited harmonising voices which is why I love the Beatles and especially the Eagles. I heard this for the first time and got such chills, brought a huge smile to my face. God Save Queen.
You are just wrong. This is a studio record.
Love, love, love, love this song. Perfect song by a perfect band.
"The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke" was only sung in the first concert in the Rainbow Theatre. This concert was recorded partially and the video of this song doesn't exist. The second, this time, was recorded completlly. If my capacity for read lips works I would say that the material that we see in the video is "Killer Queen", also of the second concert. Likewise you did a great work with the synchronization and the other things. Pd: If you see something wrong, sorry, I doesn't speak english, I writed this with the little I know
It was also performed in Blackpool in the same tour, according to a fan, but no recording exists
But a short time of the first concert at the rainbow was recorded on video, I think...
@@muc_michi Son and Daugther, and Modern time rock 'n Roll
You may not speak English but judging by this comment you can write it.
It was performed in Blackpool 1/3/1974, Sunderland 8/3/1974, rainbow 31/3/1974 and 2/4/1974
The piano 🎹 and guitar 🎸 at 1:25 is amazing
My favorite Queen tune!!! I can't believe they pulled this off so effortlessly.
This is my favorite Queen song and they are playing this live it's like impossible.
Right comrades, i think this whole album wipes the floor with Live Killers, thumbs up if you agree, comment why you don't!
Live is a shitty album. They should have put the song of the gigs from the crazy tour in this album instead of the ones from the killers tour.
marriusmal i concur. Freddie sounded waaay better in any other of their concerts. However, i must say that listening to the Live Killer's opener We Will Rock You (fast) for the first time, converted me into a Queen fan for life. So Killers has a special place in mu heart.
The band was not happy with LK mix; however, imho, LKs has the best version of Brighton rock outside baby driver of course:)
@@PS2013 How is the Baby Driver version distinguished from the original? It's the same version, not to be compared with a live one.
Valery Lurex Yes I know. No need to try and prove your right with semantics on a CZcams Rock & roll video. Yes Baby Driver version is same BR track off Sheer Heart Attack. Maybe remastered
This is supernatural, extreme fantastic good!
In terms of singing this is one of Freddies best live performances!!
It was nice, but, there's a lot of autotune so you can't really know how should it sound
@@BobHarley Oh I forgot, I also heard that some Queen live stuff is overdubt with samples of other live performances or some passages tuned to the right notes.Thanks for reminding.
you're welcome!
actually there's a lot of autotune on every Queen Productions live release since 2014
One of the songs I instantly fell in love with and made me buy Queen II as a 13 year old.
SAME
Thanks for posting this, Queen brilliance....
Wow incredible, it's so strange to see him perform such an amazingly complex song live, singing all these great high notes like that, something I wouldn't have expected considering he gets pretty tired sometimes. Fantastic!
This is the title of a fairy panting by mad artist Richard Dadd, who was confined to a mental hospital and painted paintings as part of his recovery.
very Freddie indeed. if not been a singer, i would imagined he would be a designer or a painter
Not much of a stretch seeing as everyone knows he has a diploma in Art and Graphic Design
This is not only the title but the song describes the painting in details
Most QUEEN fans already know this, thank you.
No, he murdered him with a knife.
Jaw droppingly brilliant
MAGNIFECENT!!!
this song is pure magic and shows what great musicians they are! you don't find something like that anymore today. One of the greatest songs EVER (in my opinion)! I think I am a musician. After I heard this song I realized I am only a small four chord song maker. THIS is music in perfection and nothing less. Thank god that there is music like this in this world. Thank you Queen for writing this song for us!
Los AMO!! excelente versión, Que hermosa Voz Juvenil!!
Simplesmente uma obra de arte😍 Uma das minhas músicas preferidas do Queen ❤️🇧🇷🤘🏻
Queen II is masterpiece.
Great live band. Long live Queen
They could all sing and all could play their instrument like bosses.... what a band.
Essa música é uma obra prima, amo!
Brasil!!
O álbum Queen II do Queen na minha opinião é a obra-prima da banda ♥
Legends 😊
What gets me is they give a great performance and go into another one like no big deal. Love love ❤️ them !
IKR
OMGOSH! !! I played there in a band a few years ago! !! Had no idea Queen was ever there!!!! That was such an odd song, but one of my favorites always! I'm stunned by this performance! !!!!
ah darling, what song do they have were not oddly fabolous?
Just read the comments! WOW! SOOOOOOOOOoooo much love to this magical musical band of geniuses. And rightfully so! There really is something magical about 70s Queen
Эта композиция завораживает ! Невероятно красиво Thanks a lot Freddie, Queen
Wonderful stuff!
I remember feeling overwhelmed when I first saw Richard Dadd's painting, so much going on, and a feeling of how Freddie felt as he gazed upon it...almost a feeling of Freddie was there sharing the same time and place....it was at the Tate Liverpool at the time....
This is so amazingly awesome.
Los primeros albunes de los 70's los mejores. Sublime 🌹💞
Real Queen fan
More Queen!

I know the lyrics to this song , I can sing it with Freddy
@@stefancolwell63 same
queen is legendary but their 70s era is the best
Damn. It's rare to see Freddie so perfectly pulling out full-on falsetto singing as it's quite difficult to pull off when you've been singing constantly on tour, but he really did that one phrase at the beginning perfect. And that bit at 1:46 is insane.
i'm sorry, this was autotuned by Queen Productions
@@BobHarley Their corrections are pretty subtle, it doesn't take away from Freddie's performance.
Bob Harley Do u know if they did overdubbing tho?
@@TheaterPup It's not subtle at all, his voice sounds very unnatural.
@@MushroomVortex 1992 VHS release was heavily overdubbed, this one is just autotuned, I think
wow!!!! high quality!!!!!! its a masterpiece
Absolute GENIUS ❤
.. the way she plays the piano is absolutely fantastic
FREDDIE ❤
fantastica
adoro i primi Queen ovvero quelli degli anni 70.
I love the first Queen songs of 70's !!
I think that version is even better than the album version! Thank you for posting! It is the only live version I have ever heard of this amazing song..
pigglescreep because it is the only live performance of this song www.setlist.fm/stats/queen-43d6e37f.html
It was played 3 times during the Queen II tour. March 1st (The opening concert for the tour) in Blackpool, March 8th (Queen II's Release Day) in Sunderland, and March 31st in London.
@@ryannewton1202 Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to see if you have those gigs posted right now.
@@ryannewton1202 HELLO THERE
1:46 Freddie with pitch correction: 🤖🎤
The audio performance is great. Thanks for posting it.
Stunning, just stunning...! Goosebumps! Love it!
it amazes me that they did this live holy hell they have to be like the most talented group of people ever
First 2 albums exquisite!! Brian May phenomenal!!
yes this is queen!!!
Greatest live band ever amazing harmonies
Ohhh genial... Nunca había visto un registro de esta canción en vivo, Grande Queen!!!!!
Exceptionnels Queen !
This is definitely Queen at there best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE how they were able to transform the classic music they heard and learned into something even MORE transformative!!!...all without crossing ANY copyrights!!
brilliant!
That piano!!! My God!!!! Beautiful!!!
Fantastic!!! Has anyone ever heard a complete live version of "The March of The Black Queen"? If so , please share it. It is my all time favourite ever! Tks in advance.
I dont think they ever performed full song
this is perfection!
Very awesome. Nothing like early Queen. I remember first buying Queen II in the military on vinyl and getting it REAL cheap (maybe 3 dollars) having never heard it before. Musicianship at its finest. They were obviously at their peak music wise and I HIGHLY recommend any casual fan to pony up and buy Queen II as it is above the cut in SO many ways with harmonizing and every band member brings so much to the table with each and every track. Just a masterpiece.
Master piece!!
My favorite Queen song, astounding that they could do this live. Wow.
En una lista de las presentaciones en vivo que más me han impresionado, esta estaría de más primeras
😂🤣😂🤣it's not live. The video is from November 1974 Rainbow. They didn't sing that song there. In any case, this song is not in any of the videos from this concert. At the previous concert (March 1974 Rainbow), this song is also missing. I didn't find any live video. Neither this song nor Nevermore. All I found was the audio record. I love these songs
They pull off a masterpiece live. Thats crazy such am intriquite piece of music.
You people are all missing how good John Deacon's bass is. Man, he is so much better than I thought.
This is one of the most complicated and amazing fascinating song of queen
2019 👐👐
Such an underrated song! This is one of my all-time favorite Queen songs. The painting by Richard Dadd that inspired it is incredible too.

I was too young to go to see shows at this point. LOVED the video I've seen of this concert. That was the Freddie that got me. Queen II is the best Queen LP.
the painting is trippier than dayslong...Freddie rules
The power of that live version..🙏👸🏻
