Queen never performed The Show Must Go On live. This must be a fan compilation of live concert footage with the recorded track.. Freddie was too ill and had already stopped performing when this song was recorded for the Innuendo album. The vocals are incredible considering Brian May didn’t even think Freddie would be able to sing it. Freddie gave 110% as always. Worth listening to!
Whoever did it was damn good at cutting and pasting clips where his lip movements synced up with the lyrics of this song then. (Did that make any sense?) It would have taken a LONG time. But now that I'm really watching it I have to agree with you. Freddie looks very healthy here, but he was exceptionally thin and obviously sick when he recorded this.
Yes correct, this song is a compilation of live footage and the track is overplayed. Unreal editing then, looks very much like it’s the live version.
@@trishc3099 Freddie’s last live performance with Queen was in 1986. This song was recorded between March 1989 until November 1990, a year before Freddie passed away. That’s why Queen’s official video is also a compilation of previous live performances and past videos.
So, if they never performed it live, where did the live concert footage come from?
@@fridaylong2812 I believe the David Bowie one was from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert and not sure which one Freddie is from; I’m sure someone else can confirm.
Sir Brian May is a guitar god and the song was written by him, but Freddie was very very sick at the time of recording, he could hardly stand and even to sit, but he didn't stop and singing and making music kept him alive a little longer.
„That track was strange - recalls Brian. I did the most of the lyrics for Freddie to sing and you can imagine what that felt like. I did ask him at one point if he was okay about it and he said, Yeah, totally okay about it. I will give it my all. And he did. He sang, I think, some of the best vocals of his life on that track, and most of the tracks on that album are incredible. He really was getting very weak by that time, but he could still summon up that strength to sing.”
This is not a live performance. This song was recorded while Freddie was battling his symptoms from HIV/AIDS, “The Show Must Go On” is a compellingly powerful final coda to Freddie’s legacy. The song closes Queen’s final studio album released during Freddie’s lifetime.
While "The Show Must Go On” was mainly written by lead guitarist Brian May, the song’s theme is driven by the probability it would be Freddie's “finale”. His severe symptoms made recording difficult. (But it wasn't, Freddie's finale recording is the song "Mother Love".)
Freddie’s struggles with HIV/AIDS were kept secret from the public at large until his official 1991, November 23rd, press release divulging that he was, in fact, dying from AIDS-related complications.
Previously the British paparazzi had speculated and cruelly reported that Freddie was diagnosed with the disease (from the time his diagnosis was “leaked”), and proceeded to stalk him, adding insult to injury. The paparazzi made his last days miserable as they hounded him.
Intentionally or not, Freddie’s announcing his illness on November 23rd was prescient; approximately 24 hours after the press release, Freddie Mercury died (November 24, 1991).
During these last recording sessions sometimes Freddie was so ill he could barely walk, making the recording process erratic, emotionally wrought, and logistically difficult for the band, especially for guitarist Brian, a studio perfectionist.
Brian told a feeble Freddie not to over-exert himself during a session for the final track’s vocals, intimating he wasn’t up to the challenge. According to Queen lore, a frustrated Freddie responded by slamming a shot, or two, of vodka, saying, “I’ll fucking do it, darling”.
Brian recalled Freddie’s performance, "He went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal".
The half-mic stand was one of Freddie's trademarks. The story is that during Freddie’s pre-Queen days, when he was a member of a group called Wreckage, his mic got stuck on the boom stand and he pulled so hard to separate the mice from the boom that ended up breaking the stand. He continued the performance with the boom half of the mic stand still connected to the mic. Oddly, he found that liked it. It gave him a prop to play with while performing.
Lead Guitar is Sir Dr. Brian Harold May, PhD, CBE, Astrophysicist, legendary guitar player, animal rights activist, etc., etc., etc. Brian built that guitar with hand tools only, with his dad when he was a teen, from stuff they had laying around the house. The main body was made of wood from a 100 year old fireplace. So on occasion, Freddie referred to Brian's guitar as "The Fireplace" and the least expensive piece of equipment on their tour. Brian named it "The Red Special" and sometimes refers to it as "The Old Lady." He still plays that same guitar today, nearly exclusively.
Hard to believe how advanced Freddie illness was by the time they recorded this song, you can't tell by his vocals because he was fearless to the end and determined to leave as much music behind before he left us. This was not a live performance but a damn good mash-up and if they had performed this live it wouldn't have looked much different. I've been a Queen fan since the 70s, been to hundreds of great concerts but my true regret is never having seen them live before he passed away. 👑
You cannot help but be dismayed by the musicians of today, when you look back at Freddie and his generation.
Brian May wrote this masterpiece and was in King Charles's New Year's honer's list so he is now officially SIR.Brian may..Still missing you Freddie 💔😢 love from London 🇬🇧
Rest in peace to the greatest frontman to ever grace the stage. Freddie Mercury was a phenom
"The Show Must Go On", ironically, a showstopper. I saw Queen five times, and boy, I would trade them all to see the Innuendo album done live. Well, leaving out the Crown show.
There are almost no words for Freddie and Queens talent! It’s mind blowing! 💜💜💜
No live! Freddie was TOO sick (1990)
Such amasterpiece and freddie's vocals are insane tls man cannot be replaced by any other singer ever he is a legend that will live forever in our hearts the emotions that he brings in every single song is out of this world and of course Bryan is the best quitarist ever outstanding band the best ever keep doing queen💯🧡❤💛
If you search for best guitarist, best drummer, da da da, you'll find all 4 of them highly ranked. Their ranks strongly rely on who does the polling and who they're polling. I've never seen Freddie lower than 3, and I've seen Brian everywhere from 8 to 58. I'm going with the 8.
Amazing that Freddie's vocals are so great here at the end of his life. A true talent. He gave his all to his music, and we have the rest of time to listen to him. Love you Freddie Mercury❤❤❤
P.S. The video for this song is deffo worth a watch.
Excellent observation. Freddie had such a powerful voice. Brian said he would listen to Freddie sing a song and then try to copy it. Early in their career Freddie broke the microphone stick. He kept performing and made it part of his thing to help give his hands stuff to do while performing. More Queen! Try Cool Cat, Melancholy Blues, Spread Your Wings, It’s Late.
That is Dr. Brian May. He is an astrophysicist as well as one of the best guitarist ever. Freddie’s microphone broke one time. He decided he liked performing with it. More Queen history! John Deacon is on bass and the underrated Roger Taylor is on drums and backup vocals. He does sing lead on a couple of Queen songs.
Thanks for your Queen reactions...It is Impossible Not to fall in love with Freddie...
Amen
The video is actually Who Wants to Live Forever from their '85 Rio concert. Whoever did the editing did a great job.
Most definitely outstanding - but this was never performed live with Freddie singing unfortunately. It was performed live at his tribute concert after his death with Brian, Roger and John, but with vocals by Elton John. You should check out the Queen Official version of this - same song but with their own video. Written by Brian May because Freddie was dying. If you really listen to the lyrics they’re heartbreaking.
He's also Dr May. He's an astrophysicist, who helped send the Lander to Mars.
Great reaction to a phenomenal band. Unfortunately, Freddie never got the chance to sing this song live as he was too ill, but sung the song in the studio in one take after downing a very large V+T. The video which has been cleverly put for this song is Freddie singing Who Wants to Live Forever in Budapest in 1986, check that one out too. However, it also seems to fit The Show Must Go On too, very cleverly done. RIP Freddie, my hero ♥
As for half a mike stand...on one of his first performances in some night club he broke the stand off the base, and had to improvise and he just held it and used it that way. He liked it and the rest is history.
An excellent edit. Sadly, I wish he could have lived to perform it live. Amazing song by Queen!
Brian May always said he wants his guitar to “sing”. He does a great job getting his guitar to sing!
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ if only Freddie had more time and the side effects from his illness didn't stop him from performing live this is exactly what a live for this amazing song would be like 😍this live from Budapest seems to fit quite well 🤩
Their songs are ear candy and soul energizing! I never get tired of hearing Queen songs!
P.P.S. Guitar guy is Sir Dr. Brian May. Colossal brain box and virtuoso musician. And a helluva nice guy.
And now he’s been knighted. And he’s Sir Dr Brian May 😊
@@dianecourtney2724 There's an echo in here...
Every participant of Queen is talented! But Freddie is just unique! RIP, Freddie. 🙏😢
There is no live version with Freddie
Thank you, I love this reaction! You have only scratched the surface of Queen and Freddie’s brilliance. I suggest Who wants to live forever, and Barcelona. They will blow your mind.
Please react to You take my breath away from Hyde park 1976
Yes, this! That’s probably my favorite performance.
When Freddie sings he reaches deep inside of your soul.
R.I.P. FREDDIE WE MISS YOU!!!
The bottom was left in a club in the early 70s. The stand broke and he kept performing with the top and it became his trademark.💕💕
Freddie was too ill to perform this live. He could barely stand and had to prop himself up on the mixing desk and he produced this masterpiece written by Brian.
Queen ! Love of my life forever 💕
about to be ‘sir’ Brian May. King knights Queen hah
😂😂
Way back when Queen was beginning, Freddie broke a microphone stand, and liked it so much, it became his thing!
Thanks for this - not actually live, though.. a nice video compilation... Love your reactions and look forward to more... (P.S. Sir Doctor Brian May is the guitarist - and my first and still long-standing rock-star crush - I am still in love after 40 years... lol)
Freddie had a full 4 octave range, very rare in a singer. He held back in live performances because he didn't want to hurt his voice, but in the studio he went for it giving every ounce of his powerful voice. A funny thing happened, the sicker Freddie got the more powerful his voice became. Queen's last two official albums are The Miracle and Innuendo and on both albums you can hear this raw power in Freddie's voice that wasn't there before.
Check out Queen at Wembley Stadium. It will rock your socks off.
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ liked subscribed 😁 more queen and Freddie Mercury reactions please 😍
I am new to your page, but I absolutely love your reactions. Please do more Queen!
Never performed live unfortunately. Freddie didn't make it. Powerful song. Nice reactions. Thank you 😊
Queen never performed this song live with Freddie. So this can't be live.
Fan-made video!! Freddie was too sick to perform!!
Great song nonetheless!! Thank you!
Great fan video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can’t wait!!!
I believe that all great artists continue to create in Heaven, waiting and supporting us...
John Deacon,Bass Roger Taylor,Drums Brian May, Guitar Freddie Mercury Lead Vocals
Best live band in history. Nothing more to say.
Would You Please React to
"In My Defense" Queen !
My gods, this live video was musically perfect to the album. I truly kept questioning if this was just the album track over liver clips….but no. They were that perfect.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this video is a fake mish mash of clips. Freddie never performed this live. He was too sick.
Hey Hon, I know you've been pestered by Queen fans to "do LIVE versions!" So, you wouldn't know:
THERE'S NO LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG.
This is a fan-made mashup from other performances... which usually I'm all for, but FYI...
The AUDIO ON THIS IS NOT AS GOOD as the original. (I'm not sure what was done, I just know that Freddie's vocals sound MUCH BETTER ON THE ORIGINAL.)
That's bull that they never performed it live, here it is!
Freddie was great. Great reaction. Just an FYI. Angelina did a very good cover of this.
♥👣👸🏻🎷HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA Angelina Jordan turns 17 today the 10th of Jan. The Barefoot Princes of Jazz. FYI. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
React to the Live Aid performance
THe guy on the guitar is Sir Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist. Yes, he has a knighthood, and yes, he has his doctorate. And he built his own guitar.
Others have highly recommended you watch their Live Aid show from 1985 (you did the Radio Gaga portion) and I totally concur! I’d also highly recommend you watch “Green Day Crowd sings ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ at Hyde Park (2017).” We toss around the term ‘legend’ a lot. That video showed me what it really means.
Sir Brian May. He is also an Astrophysicist/ Dr Sir Brian May. Greatest guitarist currently. Now listen to Queen with Adam Lambert. Fantastic!!!!
He was very ill at this time. But the show went on!
The guitar is Brian May, guitar, second solist and compositor
you should watch Freddie singing with the Opera diva Monserrat Cabballe. Wonderful. Try the song Barcellona which they wrote for the Barcellona Olympics. Fantastic.
Sir Brian May !!!
The guitarist that you're asking about is Dr. Brian May. He's a famous British Astrophysicist.
If you watch the movie Bohemian Rapsody, it’s about Queen and you’ll see how the mic stand came to be his trademark.
Very lucky to grow up with these guys in the 70;s but i feel they hit their peak when freddie told the band he had aids and a lot of these songs reflected that'Freddie for all of his bravado was quite private, we will never see the likes again because tech moves on' Boheimien raphsody video was considered high tech in he 70;s miss him
Freddy e legenda .Fara el nu exista queen
The best
💖💖💖👏👏👏
SIR DR. Brian May makes that guitar sing.
🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶💯
Sir Brian May :)
Hi! Thank you for your great reaction🙂May I request to kindly react to Love of my Life at Rock in Rio, Somebody to love in Milton keynes and You take my breath away, lastly the Live AID. You will never be disappointed with Queen Song. Will appreciate much. Thank you and stay safe
Mercury passed away six weeks after the album was released. The song was never performed live by Freddie.
Lead Guitarist is Brian May; he's also an astrophysicist!!
That’s doctor Brian May . Astrophysicist, Philanthropist, Just knighted from King Charles, and animal activist? Oh, and voted One of the greatest guitarist in history.
It's really hard to pick the "best" Queen song. I'd think, maybe, that this is it. Please don'r quote me, though. So many faves...
The guitarist is the great Brian May.
This is not live. Queen as a band stopped performing live in 1986 due to Freddie's health. This song was recorded in the studio for their final 1991 album before Freddie's death.
Bryan May 👍🏴
Brian May
Sa dernière chanson. Il est mort un mois après sa parution. Cette chanson est tragique 😢
he wrote this song while he was dying
Sorry man, but this is not th real performance. Freddie was too ill to do a live performence in 1990.
This is Queen live Budapest in 1986.
And Queen didn't play "the show must go on" because it was launched in 1990 for innuendo album.
Love Freddie
Roger Taylor is on drums. Brian May lead on lead guitar. John Deacon is underrated o the bass guitar but is great
Fake.The show must go live version doesn't exist!!!!
Watch the official video
Brian May is the guitarist
No es el vídeo original😔
brian may
Not live, spliced footage from other performances,mosttly the last tour, the 1986 A Kind Of Magic Tour, and when Queen play live, songs are done faster and he plays with then more, this is the studio recording
Didn't you realize it's a fake? I had seen this video in the past and I had also written to the person in his comments, letting him know that it was absolutely wrong and there would be someone who would believe this falsehood.
This song was released, and Freddie died the next day.
BRIAN HAROLD MAY´
Thats why today artists are pure shit with mediocrity in everywhere.
Queen - Hammer To Fall (Live Aid 1985)
YES! Their whole set was awesome!
