    Queen is possibly the best band of the late 20th century. You could argue for the Beatles, but they're more mid-century.
    I miss Freddie so much. It was mind-blowing as a kid, tween, and teen to see him perform on TV. And heart-wrenching when his decline became visible.
    I've never, before or since, seen a man who was so incredibly flamboyant, and yet so utterly masculine. Bowie was on fire with that beautiful androgynous thing he had going on. Most men were rocking some form of the beanpole/footballer body in jeans and a fringed vest. Freddie had his own style and damn if it didn't work.

    “That’s a dope looking guitar!”
    That, Alex, is Brian May’s “Red Special”. He made that with his father when he was young. He couldn’t afford a guitar of his own, so he built one. Brian only used that guitar, unless they were playing Fat Bottomed Girls, or a string broke, then he’d get a copy. Once Fat Bottomed Girls was over, or a new string was fitted, he’d go right back to using the Red Special. Brian still uses that guitar today on tour. Btw, he made it in I believe the 60s. All original pieces except for strings and machine heads and tuners. Everything else is the same from when he made it all those years ago, and it still works.

    Live at Montreal is the best version of this song. Queen is an amazing live band so live shows are often the better choice. Brian built that guitar when he was a teen with his dad. This song is a prayer (gospel song) if you listen to it that way is makes a lot of sense. These guys met while going to college and each got a degree before becoming full time musicians. Roger (drummer) degree in biology, left dental school to do music full time, John (bass) degree in electronics (built the Deacy amp that Brian uses to get other instrument sounds out of his guitar) John uses it on occasion also, Freddie (lead singer) degree in design (designed the queen logo) and Brian (guitar) a PhD in astrophysics, so they all had something to fall back on if this didn't work out but none of them ever really thought of that as an option. Excellent reaction. Your facial expressions said it all. You were properly impressed. Thank you.
