The people at this show didn’t know how lucky they were to witness him playing this song and how amazingly he sang it. He even told them “you need to listen to this one”. Well Freddie, we are all listening now. You were right.
This is one of the few times Freddie sand live with his “studio” voice and it’s amazing. He was able to sing with his comfortable voice like this because he was fighting with a blaring band behind him. I wish he had done more solo stuff with just him and a piano. How amazing would that have been if he had giving stripped down concerts of just him and maybe Brian on acoustic.
I’ve heard this song a thousand times. And each time I listen to it, it gives me shivers down my entire body. Freddie was smart enough to realize his gifts and he USED them. God bless you Freddie. ❤❤

such raw emotion of longing sang and composed by the most beautiful and talented man who certainly was given a amazing gift to share with humanity.... we miss him...this song always makes me cry. R.I.P dear Freddie.
If aliens invaded Earth and offered us one single chance to defend our self-destructive species against termination we should play to them Freddie's voice and be saved.
This is hauntingly beautiful ! it's beyond words, so magical , so perfect ! I can't listen to this song without crying like a baby. Freddie was a musical genius.
many Queen's song can be rated as the best songs ever. I personally can't pick a favorite. I like almost all 200 ish songs Queen and Freddie have sang as a group and individually, love pretty much more than half of them, have about 50 really favorites! and probably a top 10-20 which are interchangeable depending on my mood but I think the first two spots will always be It's a kind of magic and A winter's tale It's a kind of magic A winter's tale Bohemian Rhapsody You take my breath away Another one bites the dust One year of love Somebody to love I want to break free Love of my life Innuendo Is this the world we created Scandal Under pressure The show must go on In the lap of the Gods ...
@@milads4070 if U dont love Killer Queen. Liar, & and Dont Stop Me Now, play the old original videos.. when he started...with the band...danding around in great outfits...1973 he wore black women top with cool tight pants..1 white or 2 tone GLOVE...(U see where Michael Jackson copied that...) and long hsir...HAIR ..! i was sad when he cut it...and black nail polish...1973... and then sing along with the lyrics on screen...i sing Liar Killer Queen and Dont Stop Me Now..all over the house when i do chores..when i go shopping...and wow what clever clever lyrics and the unique melody and the SINGING...im in love with Freddies voice & showman at his youngest, sorry, since i was 16...and we should talk to him in spirit..who knows maybe it works that way..in spirit...we dont know exactly what happens..in spirit..Life After Life the book says when we die our loved ones are there waiting for us...maybe artists like this who had a passion for making songs that people would love...can be connected with all in spirit ..later..
@@criticonmag587 I very much like killer Queen. Liar is also a favorite for sure! However I really have a top 10 that won't probably change :D Regarding Freddie's look from 70s... I'm a big fan of it too! I recently got a 35 mm slide, old camera's negative, taken from a concert in States in 76! A night at the opera tour :) Freddie looks fabs :D I also got a Freddie tribute magazine of Ebay as well from 92! Has got a dozen pictures and a huge poster as well :) I feel like how you do! Freddie simply makes me feel like a God, something more than just a man. I've seen many Queen fan's who are just sad in thought of the past and how Freddie left us that can't fully enjoy their music. Not me! I'm just extremely grateful for what Freddie has left us, literally 100s of great song and over 40,50 hits... a dozen live show films of which 5,6 are in fantastic quality... If there is one good way I look at the life is that I look at the things the way it could be worse, or never even had happened. I case of Freddie what if he had 3 hits and then had left us earlier in his life... or what if we were born before Freddie's time, or he was born way after us...So I take what the universe gives us and appreciate it! I would have loved to had Freddie still kicking around with John and Bri and Roger but you can't really change the past. I have cried a few times listening to Who wants to live forever and a few other songs but 95% of the time Freddie energizes me and simply makes me feel good, specially if I'm high! Peace :)
@@criticonmag587 I think killer Queen would be in y top 20. Don't stop me now would def be in top 20! But for me It's a kind of magic would always be not only my fav Queen song but fav song ever, particularly the version from 86 live at Wembley.
The Sage : oh but it was real. All real. It was a phenomenon called Freddie Mercury. A phenomenon one will never experience again. He was one of a kind.
Truth told. The silence in this song. This song is something that conveys his soul, his body may be gone but he is here inside this sound. Surreal music.
@Jarred Knox Sometimes the rawness and emotion of performing live is more moving than the technical perfection of a studio recording. Sometimes. Certainly here.
This is so seductive. He has such control over his voice the come out half pressure but not crack while also being strong enough to fill the concert hall/stadium. And I love the finger up visual control. Prefer this to the studio recording!!
I totally agree! I prefer this to the studio version. I feel they added too much extra stuff in the studio version. I also really like Marc Martel’s cover. But this is absolutely THE BEST version in my opinion.
John Dias yeah I’m with you with the “too much extra stuff”. While I love the harmonies I do think the song sounds better with just Freddie and the piano.
Jarred Knox I typically prefer their studio stuff to their live performances but in this particular case I prefer the live version because of the way it’s performed and because it’s just Freddie and a piano. I think this song in particular is best just the way it’s performed here. I love their harmonies but in this case the harmonies, though beautiful in their own right, don’t add substance to the narrative of the lyrics in my opinion. Fortunately we all have a right to our own opinions. Have a great day.
He has everything : talent to perform, showmanship, passion, amazing amazing voice, great song writing skills, sings from his heart and soul, great pianist, charisma, looks, interesting life, great sense of humor. Most of the musicians have one or combination of these. He is the perfect package !!
All 4 of them. Queen came out of nowhere and will stay thru eternity. I'm privileged to have been alive through out this musical era.,.. I did miss seeing them live... Time machine? Brian?❗💛
I seen Queen only once in New York a small place around 2500 seating capacity The Beacon Theater in February 1976 I was around 20 rows back left center of the stage in front if Freddie's piano when he did this song and I myself and everyone there was mesmerized and amazed by the beauty and the silk sound of Freddie's voice when he did this song, I was left with my mouth open as every one else and the hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood up, you could hear a pin drop while he was singing this song so to speak. We all were in a awe as we all knew we were experiencing greatest and the making of a legend before our very eyes. His voice went right through you like one of the old memorez cassette comerical like when the guy is sitting in a chair in front of a speaker playing music and his hair and clothing a blowing from the power and great sound coming out of speakers. That night for me a Star and maybe a God was born, from that moment on is when I became a BIG QUEEN FAN and still am. I have over 100 concerts in my life time like Led zep, the who, black sabbath, Rod Stewart you get my drift all the big bands from that 1970 era and till today and Queen and Mr Mercury blew them away, I am not saying the other bands were not great and performed well cause they did and were but Queen to me was in a class by themselves and Freddie put them over the top with style,grace,showmanship,voice and pure talent. Its a night I was glad I experience and will never forget. This clip was from that same year 1976 just a different place and month. gee I feel Blessed to have witness that song live right in front of me
This is the vocal sound I love. His soft, high vocals. The louder yelling stuff he did later because the cigs lowered his range. :( But in 74, 75, 76, 77... he was doing amazing stuff. 1980 they had a good album with The Game. Then his voice came back right b4 he died. He had a better range then than ever before.
Very true. Even while dying he still had his amazing range. An example is 'Don't Try So Hard'. Freddie always had this huge range, its just that things evolved the bigger Queen became. Venues got bigger & bigger so Freddie had to adapt and use his voice differently. He had excellent falsetto & vibrato, tone, pitch. Could do soft pitches & then go strong, powerful, like a beast. It's unbelievable that he still had his voice considering how much they constantly toured. I would kill to have his voice if I were male.
Yvette Campos Yeah, the touring takes a toll on a singer over time. Then he stopped trying for all the high notes and I guess (my theory) is he was just struggling too hard to hit them cleanly and didn't want his voice to crack or sound bad so he just opted to hit a lower note. But he smoked also and that activity LOWERS the pitch range of the voice. That is a fact. All the baritone and bass voice over guys of the 50s, 60s.. smokers. The granddaddy of movie trailer voice overs, Don LaFontaine.... smoker. It lowers the voice and gives it more rasp. That's just not what I want in my Freddie Mercury!!! I want the early Freddie. The clean and clear Freddie. At least he's there in the recordings.
***** No one is immune to how the world works. IF he smoked, then he must have smoked 2 or 3 cigs a day instead of a whole pack OR his range might have been even higher had he not smoked. Smoking lowers the range of a human voice and makes it more resonant/raspy. Don LaFontaine smoked. Almost everyone in the 50s/60s smoked. Go listen to that era and all the men sound like radio announcers. I do voice over for a living and DON'T smoke. Never have. So I struggle mightily trying to do the really raspy movie trailer thing even though my pitch is low enough, the resonance isn't there. Smoking would achieve it but I refuse to kill myself to do that. My theory is that smoking keeps phlegm on the vocal cords which weighs them down some and therefore they vibrate more slowly and the rasp is just another side effect. Haven't you heard women who sounded like men? smoking.
***** How many cigs a day did he smoke in 1959? I'm not sure we can know enough about his smoking habits to say oh, he was immune to that. I claim no one is. And the more you smoke, the more your voice quality will change. He had a high voice to begin with. Freddy smoked but when he QUIT smoking near the end due to AIDS, his voice got... wait for it... higher and clearer.
I wonder if Brian, Roger and John, while offstage just stopped in their tracks and said..."Holy Shit" He's an absolute musical genius. Had they heard this one before? This specific video has absolutely broken me to tears. Even though the others are also musical geniuses in their own right. Freddie is just scary good. A true gift from God. All my love to the Queen fans around the world!
At that time, I'm not sure that Brian and Roger knew just what they had in Freddie. I believe it was years later, after Freddie's passing that Roger said something along the lines of "at the time we never really knew just how good he (Fred) was". Or something like that. The band was always "at odds" musically between Freddie and Brian driving the songs, and it was a brilliant chemistry that brought out the best in both of them, IMHO. This is why bands become world beaters, like Queen. But I digress. I would guess that John absolutely understood and recognized Freddie's brilliance from early on. John was very close with Freddie, and Freddie nurtured John's songwriting and contributions which helped take Queen to even greater heights. After all, it was John, who said after Fred's passing, what's the point of carrying on with Queen without Freddie.
@@cobbervin7563 They were all extraordinarily talented and Brian and Roger have said it wasn't until after he died that they realised how special he was.
Obsessed with this song. Hauntingly beautiful and it reaches deep into your soul. Freddie was just on another level. ❤️ I think the people in the audience chatting away didn’t realize the gift they were given at that moment!!
Freddie writes and sings the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard and I'm 74 years old! That's a lot of love songs that I've heard and I can't stop listening to Freddie. I only discovered Queen about 2 months ago. Thank you all who have posted. I would have never heard such wonderful music!
Welcome Queenie. Glad you discovered the band and Freddie’s unbelievable artistry. Keep listening to all the hidden gems, not just the popular songs. They did it all. Enjoy.
😮😮😮 Io conoscevo molte canzoni dei Queen,ma ora che ho 68 anni e ho più tempo per ascoltare musica ho scoperto dei gioielli composti da questi Geni. Li ascolterò per sempre,qu sta canzone poi mi ferma veramente il respiro, è una magia. Grazie Freddie la tua voce è un regalo dovunque tu sia.❤❤❤
How is it possible for a straight woman to ache and cry and love the whole man that was Freddie Mercury....even decades after his death? He truly was the sexiest, most talented singer, performer, composer, showman, frontman that ever graced this planet. I could and do sometimes watch him for hours on end wishing that I had been blessed with the opportunity to meet him and also to have witnessed his greatness in person. God definitely blessed him with all of his gifts and I know Freddie is singing in Heaven which has to be a much sweeter place with him there. RIP Sweet Freddie! You are loved and missed by the masses❤️
@@SuperEgo19 Lol! Haha, yes I guess that we are. What a sweet coincidence. Foret is my married name actually and I was born and raised in South Louisiana and Proud of it. What part of South Louisiana do you reside in Brent? 🤗
Indeed. He just visited here and had been flying over the sky for a while singing with his beautiful voice for us, and flew away back to heaven. We shall see him there again.
Oh my darlings, Freddie most certainly did walk among us, and he is still very much here - just look at how much love there is for him and his music, how many of us are still touched so very deeply by his voice and his genius - and look how many new fans he has as younger generations rediscover his light. As long as he is remembered, he is with us - and if memory keeps him alive, Freddie will live forever because we will never forget such an ethereal and magical soul. There will only ever be one Freddie Mercury, because he truly is too beautiful for this world.
To listen to Freddie sing this song is like listening to an angel. So sweet and sentimental.The guy made love to the piano every time he played it for his love songs. Freddie had such passion.
Don’t usually like using hyperbole but Freddie Mercury had music in every fibre of his being. It simply poured out of him every time he touched an instrument.
The way he sings "I would give up all my life" in this performance just punctuates how deeply he is feeling those lyrics.... like they're from deep in his soul
robsreality the piano tone freddie had as well just unreal.... their sound people through the years with the sound and talent they had is just absolutely perfect.
@@barbaraladouceur6305 Well, I always thought that Queen was founded in 1970. So it would be 51 years. When Freddie arrived, the band was still called "Smile", but a few months later, during 1970, they changed the name to Queen. In any case, they are one of the best rock bands of the 70s and 80s. :)
@@barbaraladouceur6305 Yeah, right. I was referring to when the band was renamed "Queen", but it is true that John had not yet arrived. If we refer to Queen as a group, we always have to name the 4: Freddie, Brian, Roger and John :)
💟 Freddie is a big romantic, pure soul... Incredibly touching composition... such delicate feeling, a quiet conversation one-on-one with everyone and with yourself... the melody of the heartfelt confession... ❤
alina baykalova he was a very sweet and funny guy. He was far too generous and people used him and took advantage of him. I think that’s when Mary would step up and tell people to leave. He was a strong man but he had his weaker, sensitive, & soft side, and people would take advantage of it.
@@montereyharris1277 agreed. I have so many mixed feelings about it...saddness, pissed off, helplessness and ultimately gratefulness to Mary. After all, I was only 11 and in Brooklyn NY in his glory days so what could i possibly do to help him. I hope he knows he is sorely missed yet lives on right here for all of us to continue relishing in his brilliance. Thank the God Lord for youtube.
The light on him, the darkness around him, the song and the way he sings it make it all so ethereal. It's like he's just singing in the middle of space.
When I listen too much of Freddie I get a feeling that everyone else can't sing
True
That's right...
This is true

I literally can’t believe this is a live performance this is insane
It was Queens free concert in Hyde park September 1976.
Imagine what a pleasure would it be to be one of the firsts to listen to this song live, before even being recorded.
Such a pleasure!!
Karla Miranda I can tell you it was amazing - and this song has remained one of my Queen favourites since that day over 40 years ago!
"gotta listen to this one"
Brian Tyler you were there?!?
His voice is just so delicate and angelic. The true voice of an angel. I am in tears
He was definitely an angel who came to earth to bless us
Me too in tears as well… at the airport looking and listening at this. Hope no one noticed me…
Rare to hear him do so much falsetto live. He was clearly proud of this song. Could be my favourite Freddie song. I love the confidence he has, even a death stare, when he tells the crowd to listen. What a titan of a man.
He went all out here even though he had trouble with his nodules. Awesome to have this in such good quality
He only used falsetto on the song like 8-ish times right? These 1976 versions are so damn good.
Lol the death stare....I love that 😄 He meant business didn't he!
This is the most beautiful love song I’ve ever heard 👑💛🥰
I'm crying listening to it. Freddie takes my breath away.
This version is absolutely breathtaking! Better than the album one! Love it!
My favourite rendition of this song. Never should have added anything else to it on the album. Just Freddie and his piano were perfection.

Still makes me cry.......Maybe the most beautiful song ever........
many Queen's song can be rated as the best songs ever. I personally can't pick a favorite. I like almost all 200 ish songs Queen and Freddie have sang as a group and individually, love pretty much more than half of them, have about 50 really favorites! and probably a top 10-20 which are interchangeable depending on my mood but I think the first two spots will always be It's a kind of magic and A winter's tale
It's a kind of magic
A winter's tale
Bohemian Rhapsody
You take my breath away
Another one bites the dust
One year of love
Somebody to love
I want to break free
Love of my life
Innuendo
Is this the world we created
Scandal
Under pressure
The show must go on
In the lap of the Gods
...
Without a doubt. It just moves me.
@@milads4070 if U dont love Killer Queen. Liar, & and Dont Stop Me Now, play the old original videos.. when he started...with the band...danding around in great outfits...1973 he wore black women top with cool tight pants..1 white or 2 tone GLOVE...(U see where Michael Jackson copied that...) and long hsir...HAIR ..! i was sad when he cut it...and black nail polish...1973... and then sing along with the lyrics on screen...i sing Liar Killer Queen and Dont Stop Me Now..all over the house when i do chores..when i go shopping...and wow what clever clever lyrics and the unique melody and the SINGING...im in love with Freddies voice & showman at his youngest, sorry, since i was 16...and we should talk to him in spirit..who knows maybe it works that way..in spirit...we dont know exactly what happens..in spirit..Life After Life the book says when we die our loved ones are there waiting for us...maybe artists like this who had a passion for making songs that people would love...can be connected with all in spirit ..later..
@@criticonmag587 I very much like killer Queen. Liar is also a favorite for sure! However I really have a top 10 that won't probably change :D
Regarding Freddie's look from 70s... I'm a big fan of it too! I recently got a 35 mm slide, old camera's negative, taken from a concert in States in 76! A night at the opera tour :) Freddie looks fabs :D
I also got a Freddie tribute magazine of Ebay as well from 92! Has got a dozen pictures and a huge poster as well :)
I feel like how you do! Freddie simply makes me feel like a God, something more than just a man. I've seen many Queen fan's who are just sad in thought of the past and how Freddie left us that can't fully enjoy their music. Not me! I'm just extremely grateful for what Freddie has left us, literally 100s of great song and over 40,50 hits... a dozen live show films of which 5,6 are in fantastic quality... If there is one good way I look at the life is that I look at the things the way it could be worse, or never even had happened. I case of Freddie what if he had 3 hits and then had left us earlier in his life... or what if we were born before Freddie's time, or he was born way after us...So I take what the universe gives us and appreciate it! I would have loved to had Freddie still kicking around with John and Bri and Roger but you can't really change the past. I have cried a few times listening to Who wants to live forever and a few other songs but 95% of the time Freddie energizes me and simply makes me feel good, specially if I'm high!
Peace :)
@@criticonmag587 I think killer Queen would be in y top 20. Don't stop me now would def be in top 20! But for me It's a kind of magic would always be not only my fav Queen song but fav song ever, particularly the version from 86 live at Wembley.
How can there even be a dislike button on this one?
bianchi1885 it’s by Justin Bieber fans
bianchi1885 those dislikes are from failed musicians and failed music critics. Besides the world is full of talentless trolls. 👍😎
Porque la gente está sorda, no hay otra explicación...
How it is possible not to adore him?He is the music...
It just cannot be real. He was incredibly amazing.
This is total magic.
The Sage : oh but it was real. All real. It was a phenomenon called Freddie Mercury. A phenomenon one will never experience again. He was one of a kind.
@@annabelej8021 : it sure is. Freddie Mercury was brilliant.
Imagine someone singing this today... Do you hear the silence in this song... what a piece of art, love you Freddie.
check marc martel vid
Truth told. The silence in this song. This song is something that conveys his soul, his body may be gone but he is here inside this sound. Surreal music.
@@TheWolfy8 Why would we check Marc Martel when we have Freddie here to watch?
This is the best version of this song, much better than the official recorded version.
@Jarred Knox
Sometimes the rawness and emotion of performing live is more moving than the technical perfection of a studio recording. Sometimes. Certainly here.
@@magloyd4907 Exaclty.
@Jarred Knox I get more emotion when I see this instead of the Studio Version.
what an angelic voice...
He was out of this world...
This is so seductive. He has such control over his voice the come out half pressure but not crack while also being strong enough to fill the concert hall/stadium. And I love the finger up visual control. Prefer this to the studio recording!!
@Jarred Knox to each their own. Nothing beats this performance for me. And I am perfectly fine being alone in that summation.
You’re not alone ! I like this more than the studio version actually. I feel like he sings with more emotion here
I totally agree! I prefer this to the studio version. I feel they added too much extra stuff in the studio version. I also really like Marc Martel’s cover. But this is absolutely THE BEST version in my opinion.
John Dias yeah I’m with you with the “too much extra stuff”. While I love the harmonies I do think the song sounds better with just Freddie and the piano.
Jarred Knox I typically prefer their studio stuff to their live performances but in this particular case I prefer the live version because of the way it’s performed and because it’s just Freddie and a piano. I think this song in particular is best just the way it’s performed here. I love their harmonies but in this case the harmonies, though beautiful in their own right, don’t add substance to the narrative of the lyrics in my opinion. Fortunately we all have a right to our own opinions. Have a great day.
Good lord, this man’s voice.💕
🥰🥰❤❤
Sharon Sparks :voice of a angel!!❤️‼️❤️‼️❤️
i can listen that song for 24 hours a day...
This performance actually kicks the sh*t out of the recorded version… brilliant ❤
He has everything : talent to perform, showmanship, passion, amazing amazing voice, great song writing
skills, sings from his heart and soul, great pianist, charisma, looks, interesting life, great sense of humor. Most of the musicians have one or combination of these. He is the perfect package !!
Absolutely! I have never seen anything quite like Freddie.
Agree COMPLETELY with you and That Girl Bella!!!
@@aysheafarag And we never will, right, Bella???
All 4 of them. Queen came out of nowhere and will stay thru eternity. I'm privileged to have been alive through out this musical era.,.. I did miss seeing them live... Time machine? Brian?❗💛
Ох, интересният му живот... Дано се е покаял. Всичко останало - да!
I seen Queen only once in New York a small place around 2500 seating capacity The Beacon Theater in February 1976 I was around 20 rows back left center of the stage in front if Freddie's piano when he did this song and I myself and everyone there was mesmerized and amazed by the beauty and the silk sound of Freddie's voice when he did this song, I was left with my mouth open as every one else and the hairs on the back of my neck and arms stood up, you could hear a pin drop while he was singing this song so to speak. We all were in a awe as we all knew we were experiencing greatest and the making of a legend before our very eyes. His voice went right through you like one of the old memorez cassette comerical like when the guy is sitting in a chair in front of a speaker playing music and his hair and clothing a blowing from the power and great sound coming out of speakers. That night for me a Star and maybe a God was born, from that moment on is when I became a BIG QUEEN FAN and still am. I have over 100 concerts in my life time like Led zep, the who, black sabbath, Rod Stewart you get my drift all the big bands from that 1970 era and till today and Queen and Mr Mercury blew them away, I am not saying the other bands were not great and performed well cause they did and were but Queen to me was in a class by themselves and Freddie put them over the top with style,grace,showmanship,voice and pure talent. Its a night I was glad I experience and will never forget. This clip was from that same year 1976 just a different place and month. gee I feel Blessed to have witness that song live right in front of me
Tom Florio t wow how incredible
You're the luckiest man no doubt
Now and then I become so angry over the waste. I wonder what he would have created had he lived. Damn AIDS.
Thanks for sharing. I am very jealous, but very glad to discover this now. Incredible.
What a lovely memory....
Thank you for sharing :)
Прросто чудово,вперше почула цю композицію, плачу, прослухавши іі кілька разів, любимо,любимо Тебе Фредді і сумуемо....дякую за чудову пісню....
the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
best live performance in the history of music
Неоспоримо
This is the vocal sound I love. His soft, high vocals. The louder yelling stuff he did later because the cigs lowered his range. :( But in 74, 75, 76, 77... he was doing amazing stuff. 1980 they had a good album with The Game. Then his voice came back right b4 he died. He had a better range then than ever before.
his golden year was 1978, he also damaged greatly his voice in the jazz tour
Very true. Even while dying he still had his amazing range. An example is 'Don't Try So Hard'. Freddie always had this huge range, its just that things evolved the bigger Queen became. Venues got bigger & bigger so Freddie had to adapt and use his voice differently. He had excellent falsetto & vibrato, tone, pitch. Could do soft pitches & then go strong, powerful, like a beast. It's unbelievable that he still had his voice considering how much they constantly toured. I would kill to have his voice if I were male.
Yvette Campos Yeah, the touring takes a toll on a singer over time. Then he stopped trying for all the high notes and I guess (my theory) is he was just struggling too hard to hit them cleanly and didn't want his voice to crack or sound bad so he just opted to hit a lower note. But he smoked also and that activity LOWERS the pitch range of the voice. That is a fact. All the baritone and bass voice over guys of the 50s, 60s.. smokers. The granddaddy of movie trailer voice overs, Don LaFontaine.... smoker. It lowers the voice and gives it more rasp. That's just not what I want in my Freddie Mercury!!! I want the early Freddie. The clean and clear Freddie. At least he's there in the recordings.
***** No one is immune to how the world works. IF he smoked, then he must have smoked 2 or 3 cigs a day instead of a whole pack OR his range might have been even higher had he not smoked. Smoking lowers the range of a human voice and makes it more resonant/raspy. Don LaFontaine smoked. Almost everyone in the 50s/60s smoked. Go listen to that era and all the men sound like radio announcers. I do voice over for a living and DON'T smoke. Never have. So I struggle mightily trying to do the really raspy movie trailer thing even though my pitch is low enough, the resonance isn't there. Smoking would achieve it but I refuse to kill myself to do that. My theory is that smoking keeps phlegm on the vocal cords which weighs them down some and therefore they vibrate more slowly and the rasp is just another side effect. Haven't you heard women who sounded like men? smoking.
***** How many cigs a day did he smoke in 1959? I'm not sure we can know enough about his smoking habits to say oh, he was immune to that. I claim no one is. And the more you smoke, the more your voice quality will change. He had a high voice to begin with. Freddy smoked but when he QUIT smoking near the end due to AIDS, his voice got... wait for it... higher and clearer.
Eternal Freddie Mercury. Amazing song. Eeeee Oooooo!!!
Eeoo 🥺
He loved D. Minns. I am jealous😜🤪
Freddie, this song takes my breath away every time I listen toit
I'm being serious when I say I can't remember the last time a song has moved me to tears.
Freddie Mercury, you are the eternal musical angel.
I wonder if Brian, Roger and John, while offstage just stopped in their tracks and said..."Holy Shit" He's an absolute musical genius. Had they heard this one before? This specific video has absolutely broken me to tears. Even though the others are also musical geniuses in their own right. Freddie is just scary good. A true gift from God. All my love to the Queen fans around the world!
I was thinking the exact same thing just the other day. Great minds think alike sir lol.
At that time, I'm not sure that Brian and Roger knew just what they had in Freddie. I believe it was years later, after Freddie's passing that Roger said something along the lines of "at the time we never really knew just how good he (Fred) was". Or something like that. The band was always "at odds" musically between Freddie and Brian driving the songs, and it was a brilliant chemistry that brought out the best in both of them, IMHO. This is why bands become world beaters, like Queen. But I digress. I would guess that John absolutely understood and recognized Freddie's brilliance from early on. John was very close with Freddie, and Freddie nurtured John's songwriting and contributions which helped take Queen to even greater heights. After all, it was John, who said after Fred's passing, what's the point of carrying on with Queen without Freddie.
@@cobbervin7563 They were all extraordinarily talented and Brian and Roger have said it wasn't until after he died that they realised how special he was.
@@cobbervin7563 John pretty much became a recluse after Freddy's passing.
@@cobbervin7563 ... Thanks 4 the comment. I didn't know all these facts and makes totally sense now why John decided to quit the band.
How sweet his voice...
You take our breath away darling
I was there. It is so good to see this a little closer.
This took my breath away the first time I heard it and it takes my breath away now so many decades later. This never gets old.
Couldn't agree more... I did have the same experience so long ago and now still have. Timeless masterpiece.
Obsessed with this song. Hauntingly beautiful and it reaches deep into your soul. Freddie was just on another level. ❤️ I think the people in the audience chatting away didn’t realize the gift they were given at that moment!!
So what if he's the best vocalist and songwriter. That means he's *His usual TOP BILLING* IM going Slylie MAD.. it finally happened
Only a person without emotions can dislike this song/video. This is pure perfectionism.
Yk he's not even trying like many modern singers do, he is simply expressing himself and it came out like a song
So much emotion in his voice. You can tell this is from his heart.
I love this song. Freddie was not just the greatest singer and frontman, but a brilliant, brilliant musician, he is underrated as a pianist.
queen have a lot of beutiful and underrated songs
May be blessed the day Freddie was born
Freddie writes and sings the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard and I'm 74 years old! That's a lot of love songs that I've heard and I can't stop listening to Freddie. I only discovered Queen about 2 months ago. Thank you all who have posted. I would have never heard such wonderful music!
Welcome Queenie. Glad you discovered the band and Freddie’s unbelievable artistry. Keep listening to all the hidden gems, not just the popular songs. They did it all. Enjoy.
Check out "One Year of Love" and "In Only Seven Days" written by the bassist John Deacon, they are also amazing.
Me too.😢❤😢❤He still alive, for me.😢😢
😮omg have you lived in a cave all your life 😂
😮😮😮 Io conoscevo molte canzoni dei Queen,ma ora che ho 68 anni e ho più tempo per ascoltare musica ho scoperto dei gioielli composti da questi Geni. Li ascolterò per sempre,qu sta canzone poi mi ferma veramente il respiro, è una magia. Grazie Freddie la tua voce è un regalo dovunque tu sia.❤❤❤
Made my heart ache.... such a beautiful song...and u are terribly missed.... I still don't understand how I miss u so much and never met you.....
Just Us !! It’s your soul honey, it sees and feels things like nothing else. That’s why you genuinely miss him 💕
Freddie lives. Believe me. He might be hiding in a house basement on a wind world, but he lives.
I know. I still feel a true sense of loss with Freddy. Strange
I totally agree and I have no explanation 💔
@xxAndrew1500xx Mccall Nobody ever dies, we just return to the hive, to our soul group.
Freddie, I miss you so much💕💕💕
This is better than the record.
There is a CZcams video with only his voice. Of course this song. isolated (I think that's what it was called???
How is it possible for a straight woman to ache and cry and love the whole man that was Freddie Mercury....even decades after his death? He truly was the sexiest, most talented singer, performer, composer, showman, frontman that ever graced this planet. I could and do sometimes watch him for hours on end wishing that I had been blessed with the opportunity to meet him and also to have witnessed his greatness in person. God definitely blessed him with all of his gifts and I know Freddie is singing in Heaven which has to be a much sweeter place with him there. RIP Sweet Freddie! You are loved and missed by the masses❤️
Tana Foret i love you freddie and im a man straight i wish meet some day in heaven
With a name like Foret, we must be fellow travelers here in S La. My brother even married one. Your comments are inspired.
@@SuperEgo19 Lol! Haha, yes I guess that we are. What a sweet coincidence. Foret is my married name actually and I was born and raised in South Louisiana and Proud of it. What part of South Louisiana do you reside in Brent? 🤗
Agree 🥰
Feel the same way sister! ❤️Freddie.
Freddie, have you really set foot on this Earth? Have you really been here? Have you?
Irene.. he did.. :) he did. Rest in the comfort that he has and still lives in our hearts today! :)
The eternal question
Idk why your comment has moved me to tears but yes. He was here and just like that he was gone but what a time it was.
Indeed. He just visited here and had been flying over the sky for a while singing with his beautiful voice for us, and flew away back to heaven. We shall see him there again.
Oh my darlings, Freddie most certainly did walk among us, and he is still very much here - just look at how much love there is for him and his music, how many of us are still touched so very deeply by his voice and his genius - and look how many new fans he has as younger generations rediscover his light. As long as he is remembered, he is with us - and if memory keeps him alive, Freddie will live forever because we will never forget such an ethereal and magical soul. There will only ever be one Freddie Mercury, because he truly is too beautiful for this world.
He was extraordinarily authentic...
02:16
"I will find you..."
His voice sounds too beautiful to be explained by words, brings us to tears, takes our breath 😍😍😍
Wow. This is an angel singing. Freddie I still love you.
This man is a talent from gods..
He sings with all his being.
What a crazy voice. The way he sings it
Did you noticed the talking stopped.... dead silence while he finished the song. Beautiful
❤️❤️❤️
This man melts my heart every single time he sings!
N u won't get any closer darling if he were still alive. He only fancies the fellas
Then till the end
One and only freedie RIP Darling xx

no one on this planet has ever had a voice like this beautiful man.
To listen to Freddie sing this song is like listening to an angel. So sweet and sentimental.The guy made love to the piano every time he played it for his love songs. Freddie had such passion.
Don’t usually like using hyperbole but Freddie Mercury had music in every fibre of his being. It simply poured out of him every time he touched an instrument.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my 50 years. Freddie was incredible
The most beautiful voice in Rock and Roll history RIP Freddie
So beautiful ♥️
The song which made me addicted to his music
i was already obsessed with this man, but watching this... I just fell in love
Same here
Same he's stolen my heart 💔
Ah crap I just realized I commented on my comment 😂 that's what I get for drinking while watching CZcams
What a masterpiece. Every time I hear this there is a sadness on his early death. A true genius and one of the greatest artists ever.
The beautiful Freddie mercury ❤️
Most talented singer to ever walk the earth.
This is the Definition of Music!!!
The way he sings "I would give up all my life" in this performance just punctuates how deeply he is feeling those lyrics.... like they're from deep in his soul
Im pretty sure the whole damn song comes from his soul...
robsreality
YES, that's what I mean!!!!
I will Always Be InLove💗
robsreality the piano tone freddie had as well just unreal.... their sound people through the years with the sound and talent they had is just absolutely perfect.
The most underrated Queens's song by my opinion
A true legend.
This year marks 30 years since Freddie left us, but in reality he is still with us.
Always in our memory.
And this year marks Queen"s 50th(!) Anniversary 😍
@@barbaraladouceur6305 Well, I always thought that Queen was founded in 1970. So it would be 51 years.
When Freddie arrived, the band was still called "Smile", but a few months later, during 1970, they changed the name to Queen.
In any case, they are one of the best rock bands of the 70s and 80s. :)
@@Kankkunen83 I think it's 1971 becuz that's when John Deacon joined the band.
@@barbaraladouceur6305 Yeah, right.
I was referring to when the band was renamed "Queen", but it is true that John had not yet arrived.
If we refer to Queen as a group, we always have to name the 4: Freddie, Brian, Roger and John :)
Right!
💟 Freddie is a big romantic, pure soul... Incredibly touching composition... such delicate feeling, a quiet conversation one-on-one with everyone and with yourself... the melody of the heartfelt confession... ❤
alina baykalova he was a very sweet and funny guy. He was far too generous and people used him and took advantage of him. I think that’s when Mary would step up and tell people to leave. He was a strong man but he had his weaker, sensitive, & soft side, and people would take advantage of it.
@@montereyharris1277 agreed. I have so many mixed feelings about it...saddness, pissed off, helplessness and ultimately gratefulness to Mary. After all, I was only 11 and in Brooklyn NY in his glory days so what could i possibly do to help him. I hope he knows he is sorely missed yet lives on right here for all of us to continue relishing in his brilliance. Thank the God Lord for youtube.
The light on him, the darkness around him, the song and the way he sings it make it all so ethereal. It's like he's just singing in the middle of space.
No one ever could sing more beautifully "I love you". He is such a darling boy. We are very lucky living in the internet era. Love him dearly.
I almost cried listening to this...I miss you and I've never even met you 💜
