Queen "RADIO GAGA" live acoustic piano & vocal cover

I'm happy to report that 40 years after this classic was released, radio is still here and still thriving. Radio Ga-Ga is another song (like the previous upload, Sister Christian) which was popular in March 1984, and also another song written by the drummer of the band in question, in this case Queen's Roger Taylor. The story is that Taylor intended to use Radio Ga-Ga for his own solo album, but that Freddie Mercury heard the demo and insisted on recording it for Queen's upcoming "The Works" LP. Freddie had pretty good instincts, obviously, as the single became an instant classic in Europe, reaching #2 in the UK & West Germany and hitting #1 in 19 other countries. It was less popular in the US, reaching only #16, but the inclusion of the song in Queen's famous Live Aid appearance in July 1985 helped add Radio Ga-Ga to the list of the band's signature standards on both sides of the Atlantic. The song is pure 80s in its style & production, and it played a major role in establishing Queen as one of the few 70s bands who were able to adapt their sound and replicate their success in the following decade. The production makes this a tricky song to interpret in an acoustic format, and it's also full of Mercury's difficult-to-hit notes, even in a lower key - these factors probably explain the relative absence of cover versions for such a well-known piece. No commercial use.
