Because of Annie, this is one of the few times my eyes were not 100% glued to Bowie.
What an amazing talent and beauty she is.
🤣🤣
I met David Bowie while piloting a jet he chartered. While walking back to use the facilities I caught his eye and said:
“Under Pressure with Annie Lennox, one of the best performances of all time”.
He just grinned at me and politely nodded his head in acknowledgment.
That was all.
How cool is that !
Sadly he had probably had the same comment made to him a thousand times. This would result in an underwhelming response from him
@@bigbasil1908sadly? Underwhelming? That was a perfectly fine response on a chartered flight. People these days...
Exactly. He was such a class act, that was the perfect response. Good grief this Kardashian world. @erik3371
@@erik3371 It would have been better if David had responded with some words though
Annie, to me, is the only person I can imagine ever living up to Freddie's shoes on this. She performs beautifully. Shivers.
Absolutely agree. How easy it would’ve been to cheese up all of Freddie’s scat singing improv, and yet she performed it in her own style and nailed it.
Check out Bowie's performance with Gail Ann Dorsey on A Reality Tour
Double!!
Bowie chose her too!!
no way
Even now in 2024, awesome, 3 icons of rock!! Annie , David and Brian Absolutely amazing!
Annie hears the crowd at 1:11 she acknowledges their contribution with a nod and finger-point, transforming their bond, and at 1:18 David purely watches with amazement.
Stunning performance by Annie, David, the audience, all backed by Queen?!!?
We lived in great times and we knew it.
Well said....
Love her face lights up..
Well said
We live for moments like that, thanks for pointing out!
Legendary singers of all the times....
Annie totally crushed it. Amazing. This one makes me cry every time.
Me too
recently Annie said : that evening i understood what perfection is (i think she"s right)
This is part of history. Annie and David together is such a privilege
Annie did one of the best performances on the concert
Agreed!!!!!!! She looked exquisite and sassy and feminine and everything else, I can't stop listening and watching especially when she says "That's okkkkaaayyyy" and stomps her way forward to the part where she sings about her brains across the floor...these are the days ❤️
@@hellosweetheart3350 Exactly, I am flooded with so many emotions by her performance and I can (and do!) watch this video over and over. I can not get enough of Annie. And of course Bowie is a great sidekick.
She's besotted with him - it's understandable
Sebuah penampilan David Bowie dan Annie Lennox yang terbaik sepanjang masa bersama The Queen dan tidak akan terulang lagi .
@@hellosweetheart3350 agreed. That dress! I hope it's on display somewhere in a museum. She looks utterly perfect 🥰
Imagine you are in this room: David Bowie and Annie Lennox are performing and in the backround George Michael is singing along with them!
@Andrew Clarke Are you stupid??
6:36 imagine putting a smile on David Bowie's face while you are singing a song that he composed along with Freddie Mercury. That must have been glorious for Annie as a performer.
...and Bryan May & Roger Talor something strumming and knocking in the corner;)

My dad was there
This never gets old. My favorite Rock duett of all times.
Genau der Meinung bin ich ebenso, forever great, forever !!
ага, да.
Must have watched this a dozen times… it difficult to upstage Bowie, but Annie Lennox steals the show… a command performance
She's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen anyone sing someone else's song better. I also believe one of Bowie's greatest gifts was his ability to allow people to take charge when it was called for. He didn't seem to have an ego in that way
david is a little princess after all.
When annie gets closer and closer to David at the ending, this touches my soul.
It’s very moving
When my friend saw that moment she didnt like that, she called Annie a bad word explaining the event isnt the right time to get closer to David , its stupid...
when you realize she did not do that in rehearsal I have to give David points for not cracking a smile.
I used to blast this version of the song in my college days back with friends in Austin, TX. I actually had the tribute concert on VHS. Now I’m alone in NY and as I watch this my emotions run the extreme from despair to joy. I’d love a genuine hug as I watch this on my phone in bed. A hug is not going to happen but I’m return I send hugs out to anyone who is reading this. This thing called life - we are all in it together!!
Loved what you wrote, yes friend we all are in it together, love and hugs from Sydney AUSTRALIA♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
And from me brother....from the other side of da world. Believe in such things as vibrations....BELIEVE!
get over yourself
That was beautiful to read. A big hug from Europe 🌍
Bit late, but I'm sending you a huge hug tonight
One of the best live performences of ALL TIME!!!!
DITTO. Unquestionably brilliant.
Yes. Absolutely.
Annie is such a natural beauty and performer. She enraptured the viewer with her theatrical style.
Bowie's eyes opening 3:24 for the last line while staring out is amazing!
Annie is absolutely superb here , presence , showmanship , so glad Bowie got Annie to perform this . We love ya Bowie
This just kills me each time I watch it. Annie embodies Freddie for this rendition
Это волшебство! Монстры! Прекрасно!
Two great British souls.
My jaw dropped and a frown filled my face when Annie appeared on stage to perform this hit with Bowie, was this really going to work? But this turned out to be a jaw dropping, stunning performance. And how fitting it is that Freddie did it for the world, then the world did it for him.
Freddie's dead, long live Freddie!
Super ❤❤❤❤
Two icons in the music industry, singing from their heart and soul ♥️ ❤️
"This is our last dance." Annie filled her soul with it.
Hace apenas diez años que descubri la emocion intensa y bella que nos regalaron estos genios . No me avergüenzo al decir que tengo setenta años y no puedo contener una lagrima al escuchar esta joya . Gracias David . Jamas morirás. Gracias Annie!
Anch'io non riesco a trattenere le lacrime.Concordo con Te Gustavo sono "Immensi" e io di anni ne ho 68 .W sempre la musica 🎼
Watching Bowie and Mays reaction at the end when Annie crushes it is awesome. I love David and Freddy. By far one of the greatest duets ever. Props to Annie for being such an absolute beast. Watching this brought tears to my eyes. Its 2022 where has the music gone...
Gone to shit 😂😢
A masterpiece . I miss Bowie . Thanks Annie .
Can’t help but bursting into tears. Today I spenti it celebrating the life of David through his music. Of course I stumbled upon this masterpiece where he was celebrating another beautiful talent, with Annie being absolutely marvelous. I instantly felt so lucky, I’m living in a world where artists like Bowie and Mercury existed and keep living through music. Sometimes we give things for granted, but we need to acknowledge this is a great gift. Rest in peace.
❤❤❤❤❤
Amen. Beautifully said.
I cry when I see this exquisite performance. Even to this day
Annie is a beast!
Bowie will be perfect, forever 👏
One of the best live performances ever!!
Zero cell phones. Everyone connected. Imagine that.
This is transformative. The way Annie tears into the “love love love” bridge section.
And then they come together. When Bowie changes the mic to his other hand and they embrace...29 years later I still get goosebumps.
Two legends at the peak of their Art, with Anne doing justice to Freddy singing a song so hard to sing. Anne had retired from doing live shows until David offered her the role as a Duet, bringing the crowd to a frenzy. What a great day for the artist and fans to remember Freddy.
One of the greatest things I’ve ever heard and seen. Annie Bowie. Bowienox. Phenomenal
in which part does it appear?
I just saw the full Freddie Mercury Tribute concert on television . It was glorious .
The most stylish duo ever up to this day ❤❤❤
6:43 That moment when David Bowie and Bryan May realize everything's gonna be alright.
Kreedlanceloth gave me goosebumps ❤️❤️
utterly nailed it , . passing the lockdown time in london here , stay safe , peace
@@nogingerfool1 me too in Muskegon Michigan USA ❤️ take care people!!!
That's the magic of Annie.😘
Brian May, and David Bowie having a beautiful moment, in music history.
I've always loved Bowie, his performances, his vibe, his wonderful presence and those eyes!
This is actually quite phenomenal
Best performance ever. She really can sing !!!
Whether a football field or a stage there is difference between practice and the live performances. The great ones always always bring it when it matters, they nailed it.
Never gets old. Such talent.
I remember seeing this live on MTV and just crying my eyes out. This is how you do a memorial. ❤
i´m in fucking tears... the rehearsal version is too fucking much. Annie is huge here, gigantic. I miss Bowie so much.
Absolutely magnificent
Two of my favourite artists, together! Heaven!😊
This is AWESOME!
Bowie's smokin while singin & George M's in the background singin along! OMG! THANKU!!!
Oh my god Annie Lennox such an underrated performer and incredible vocalist everyone knows Bowie is king and owns respect of everyone who dares to step on a stage with him but she gives an unbelievable performance here
Martin O'Brien She is not underrated. A lot of people think she is one of the best perfomers.
She's not underrated, she's just not into the celebrity crap many singers are into these days. She has several Brit wards, an Oscar, Grammys, a Billboard award, a Golden Globe, and MTV awards....so nope, not underrated.
Bernard DeKoninck They know not what they speak of..
Not only that, but he does as he’s always done, he gives the other talented musicians the space and spotlight to shine for sake of the song.
underrated? you serious?
Wow! Incredible performance by two legends of music.
A perfeição juntos....é muito talento junto! É emocionante ver esses dois ícones da música pop e do rock mundial...
I love how singer's have to hit those especially high notes otherwise we as listeners just don't feel satisfied...and Annie definitely does that later during the show and I'm sure everyone was just as fulfilled as I was, I can't stop watching this.
Annie stole the show. What a performance! It moves me every time I play it
The theatrics of this performance are completely off the chart. And that doesn't even begin to express the amount of respect and love these two have for each other, the band, the music and Freddie!
Everyone, PLEASE don't doubt that "heaven" can and dose exist on our Earth. PLEASE Understand that "hell" doesn't have to exist for our Earth. This loving and beautiful performance, to me, shows proof that everyone has there own individual power to explore and expand the gifts that we all have been given to "touch" the real grounds of our own performances and perspectives. I love Annie, David, and George, "and others",that have made this production possible. All great love and gratitude to all! Thanks for listening, H
Just Fabulous.... Thank you David and Annie...what a brilliant performance..... Freddie is so proud. Thank you. A million times.
This song always got me through the toughest times and gives me a sense of hope every time I listen to it.
Qué hermosura. Se me pone la piel de gallina. Los mejores artistas del rock mundial siempre fueron y serán los britanicos. Al igual que el mejor rock del mundo. Gracias por tanto arte y por alegrarnos la vida. Saludos de un Argentino.
And the best footballers come from Argentina 🇦🇷 😂😂👌🏻
@@ToffeeNose1878 Thank you!!! Diego and Messi. ❤️🇦🇷
Its 2022 and still I havent got tired watching this video. Its at timeless song sang by timeless musical legends! Thank you for the memories!
They really gave it their all! I can feel a tingling inside my skin in every second of this performance.
Bloody brilliant two fab artists.oh how to be gifted like that. What a blast!!
George Michael had a great taste in music. I bet he's up in heaven attending rehearsals for Freddie and David's gigs.
thank you Annie! and thank you David for singing it live!
Two legends sing the song of a legend. Legends will live forever...
Absolutely ❤️

Artur Футболист You don't love,beacuse you can't love someone if you don't know his name
NOT FREDDY ITS FREDDIE
Queen Forever, Sorry wrong, I'm from Russia, English is not my native language.
@@Artur-bk3fb 👍👍👍
Queen Forever Peace to you, friend
Siempre quise usar ese vestido tan espectacular de Annie. Siempre amare este video ❤️
Two great Artists/Musicians arise Annie and David, legends of the stage 🙂🤘
I love how George Michael was into the music on rehearsals. One of the most shames in popular music history that they didn't do the tour together with Queen. That was a perfect time and opportunity for this.
They had quite a moment at the end .
Love Bowie forever ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰xxx
Just hearing deacon, Taylor and may play in the intro makes me appreciate the band even more. Freddie and Bowie are what you remember most. The band had some incredible backing melodies. Annie and Dave make it work better than I expected when this show was live.
Her energy is incredible….His eyes are amazing!
Extraordinario Duo. Homenajeando a Freddy. Hermosa cancion. Gracias por esta bella interpretacion Annie y David. Genios de la musica.
Man... wonderfull!!! David, Annie, and Jorge in backstages, just observing!!! Anything, I am here.
Annie Lennox soars above the earth with her unique talent. Very few people will ever match her verocity.
Drugs and alcohol
Drugs and alcohol split a family into and we're all trying to survive Freddie Mercury not to say he has anything to do with drugs and alcohol I'm just saying like in general tso so good people I'm just trying to say we're all trying to survive
a couple of eccentrics, i like
Essa performance ficou simplesmente linda, Annie e David. Tinha que ser os dois!!! O figurino de Annie ... que sonho... veio tudo a calhar com o momento... o dueto... não vi homenagem tão providencial e da hora como essa. Freddie riu e aplaudiu de lá ❤
Rehearsal is unbelievable, but the audience unleashes something spectacular in both of them
What a duet!!! They are AWESOME!!! And what an amazing song of FREDDY Mercury!!!
This song remainds me what great artist Bowie was, long live ...but also Annie make me happy, shes great!
The best concert ever shown, Remembering Freddie mercury what a great cast performing with Queen,
I love how they're (quite obviously) professionals, giving themselves, instead of trying to imitate Freddie like some struggling newcomer.
we were so lucky in the uk, to have bowie, george and freddie. now theyre all gone. we have these artists for such a short time it seems. what a gift.
Annie is Incredible ! They perfectly match !
For shure , but the dress....mmm?
WHAT?????
Orrible dress
She Sounds more powerfull live compared to the rehearsal. Both has good chemestry. Couldnt think of a better Duo
I can Gail Ann Dorsey and David Bowie all the way no other version beats it.
Her voice gets amplified for a big live performance so that all the people can hear it. Also, performers do give more effort for a live performance because more effort is needed there.
In rehearsal some singers “mark” their vocals, meaning that they don’t sing at full capacity, usually to save their voice for the actual day. But the other thing is you also want to keep an element of surprise and spontaneity for the live performance in order to blow everyone away, which she obviously did. She knew what she was doing in the rehearsal.
If you have never listened to an Annie Lennox (solo) album, do yourself (and, really, the world) a favor and put on some decent headphones and sit on the floor by yourself and listen to “Diva” from beginning to end.
Annie’s voice is one of the rare gifts to the world from the great unknown.
E ela foi a esse show tão importante para o planeta...
What a treat seeing the rehearsal. thank u.
She's so in love with him. Heartbreaking.
Dia Smith Annie with Bowie?
I thought the same
That certainly wasn’t just performing! But to be fair to her, who wouldn’t be bowled over, under those circumstances!
She would have kissed him on the stage
She's got good taste ;)
Вот это - Мощь!!! Браво ❤❤❤!!! В память о Фредди...до слёз!!!
So amazing Annie and beloved David it was number ONE in my country Argentina!!!!!
she really has a superior taste, she knows what to do at the right moment, in the best way
Best singers ever ♥️💙 two legends
Dos grandes!! Hermoso homenaje. Lo que se merece
Annie, I must see you LIVE in your concert!
We are so blessed to have such greats as our compatriots. The world owes it to us Britons!
Perfect duet!
