    Fantastic reaction, David! This band is as tight as it gets. As you pointed out, every single member is outrageously talented in their own right, and combined with Freddie's powerful, beautiful, and emotional vocals in this masterpiece....there are really no words. Huge love and respect for these guys. ❤❤❤

      This was a BIG deal - I think Queen was the first ROCK group to play there. Very endearing when he sings a Magyar folk tune in Hungarian (with a little help from the written words on his hand ). No wonder then that he and Queen stole their hearts and are still remembered for it.

    John is absolutely amazing on the bass and you need headphones to pinpoint it honestly. And Roger Taylor! He is usually on the list of top drummers but not towards the top and IMO he should be. As you said, he is so soft but when he needs to he goes in hard and yet so precise. And while he sings too. For a drummer that is a whole lot going on, feet, hands and mouth….the ultimate multitasker. Hard job and yet he is spot on every single time! ❤️

    Hi David. Alaine your Alien Australian friend here. I recall an early interview with Brian commenting about Freddie's on stage mastery... he said that he would often catch himself becoming totally inthralled mid concert with dear Freddie's God like presence and talent, thinking to himself......'Who the Hell are You?' Merry Christmas David, hope to catch you Christmas Eve.

    It was a 4 year long procedure with the Hungarian authorities until the Queen could stand on stage in Budapest on 27.07.1986. It was obvious, that the Hungarians couldn't pay the usual fee of the band and the finally paid amount is a secret until these days. In order to reduce the costs the Hungarians and the band's managment agreed in filming the concert and the film was titled as the Hungarian Rhapsody in which you could get some more information how the band spent these few days in the Hungarian capital, behind the iron curtain.

    • @ZENOBlAmusic
      @ZENOBlAmusic 2 роки тому +6

      Freddie did not have throat issues at this concert. Wembley had some issues because he was sick. This concert was only two weeks after Wembley. Roger did a lot of harmony, and Queen has a lot of high harmonies. In some songs such as Under Pressure, it was to low for Roger, Freddie often had to low harmonies because he was the best on the low notes.

You were meant to do it too as it was randomly generated. Perfection right there, from all of them but especially Freddies vocal.I love how you appreciate them all. John is often overlooked. I got goosebumps every time you did. I always do. It's mad after all these years his voice still does that to me. Looking forward to Christmas Eve! See you then.

    So sad to think that less than 2 weeks after this show in Budapest Freddie played his last concert with Queen at Knebworth Park, where they played to a sold out crowd of 200,000 people. After they walked off stage he turned to his band mates and said "I can't do this anymore". Brian May said they were all shocked by his statement as they were unaware at that point that Freddie had been diagnosed with aids. 💔

It is the version with full orchestra and choir - perhaps you haven't seen it??

    Tizenkét éves voltam akkor,és azt sem tudtam,hogy nálunk lépnek fel...
    Mindenesetre pár hétre rá (az eseménytől függetlenül),már tudtam,hogy nincs náluk nagyobb!

    Would love to hear your reaction to track called "Bijou" from Queen album Innuendo with flamenco guitar played by Steve Howe of Yes. Freddie pulled the stops out for this album as knew he would be too ill to carry on.
