I can hit a G#5 as my max with head noise while this guy does it no problem. Freddie was able to go up and down on his vocal range with ease. That is such an amazing talent, he is indeed the best singer and best frontman to ever exist.
Freddies range was F2 - F6 , he actually hit an F6 live, and F2 on All Dead, All Dead, and Bohemian Rhapsody, he can glide efforestly within that giant range, that's what made him special
Also an F6 in a live version of Get Down, Make Love. Although someone pointed out that he hits a C7 in It's Late (Maida Vale Studio Version), and also a C#2 in an interview.
I swear!!! This impromptu hits hard man!!! I'm with tears in my eyes!!! His falsetto is beautiful and deserves more recognition in my personal opinion!!
Guys, guys.. the talent in this performance is not necessarily RANGE; it rather is the fact that it's ORIGINAL, IMPROV & the fact that Freddie is doing it with effed up vocal nodules!!!!! Nobody can beat Freddie's originality, songwriting, stage personality etc.
Freddie's part is a 100% improvised, and you can see in the video when he gives his fellow band members the cue for playing their part. If you look at the concert from Friday (this is from the Saturday concert) his Impomptu is sung differently, but the music is still the same. Freddie also gives the cue to start playing then.
I don’t know how the tune started life, and it may well have been an improvisation at some point, but I can tell you the piece was also performed in the poorly-mixed 1985 Japan show you can find elsewhere on this very site.
The first night (also on YT) is where this song began. He doesn't actually know what to do and is more directive of the band. This is the second night, and he has it figured out.
If you listen to each of the 25 versions of impromptu available for the Magic Tour, Freddie’s vocals, Brian’s guitar, John’s bass and Roger’s drums are improvised. The piano was often very similar but may have been improvised offstage by Spike.
There are a few great voices out there now, but no one that I can think of to rival the complete package that Freddie was. He was complete. He wrote lyrics, music, took part in the production, he was a rockstar but gentle, he was smart but far from arrogant as a person, he worked hard and never really complained until the day he had to leave. As you say Nerve evreN, who can come close today?
The fact that they improvised this is mind blowing! It sounds like a song that any other band would only be able to compose in weeks but every single of Queen member is a musical genius so they can improvise melodies that would take others weeks to compose.
I don't think he was himself during this performance. Something was possessing him. He was a musical instruments himself. Greatest Entertainer that ever lived. Miss you freddie.
If there weren't video cameras in the 80s no one would believe the tales of Freddie Mercury's singing and performing. they would rightfully assume that tales of this was exaggerated.
Tim Foust, a bass whom I personally admire very much, has a 5+ octave range, but even he would say that he didn't have anything on Freddie Mercury - And I'd have to agree. He's a great performer, and worth traveling for just to hear him live, but Freddie had that one thing that I've yet to see in any other performer - That one special ingrediant that still has no name.
@Niranjan Rajesh Tim Foust has a 5+ octave range, and I didn't compare the two, I only mentioned his vocal range due to the comment above, exactly becuase it isn't the vocal range that matters, but the whole package and the ability to control the voice, which is why Freddie is way better (even though I'm a fan of Home Free and Tim Foust).
first time I heard it on CD I did not think it was human. Freddie your the best ever and never will forget what angelic voice you have:-)))))) No one comes close Steve I agree.
I think Freddie was perhaps getting sick of all haters who dissed him for lowering notes/ removing falsetto from his live performances. So he did this gig, which certainly silences many of those doubters.
@@stevens5541 So go and make them note dopey, so how hard it is. Also he has sung falsetto if you want prove I can see you them, and he has attempted high notes in a song, but you are not a Queen fan and you probably checked one or 2 concerts.
His voice was just at 4 octaves actually I believe if you include falsetto and whistle. The thing he had on almost everyone was projection, resonance, and amazing pitch control.
Freddie was a full tenor with a four octave range, maybe a bit more. When he wasn't out on tour he trained with a vocal coach to stay in form, you can tell. His voice lowered a bit as he aged, normal, cos he smoked. Every member of Queen took lessons when not touring, compare concerts. They all got better and learned new technique, total professionals!
I'm a little late to the dance, but the talent of these guys, and Freddie in particular, was amazing! It's sad that we never seem to fully appreciate our very best until after they're gone.👑
This is dedicated to every one who disliked and just came here to tell that he is gay or something. Go to a big concert stage as big as that and sing the same songs he did with same scales and without using falsetto, because I'm pretty sure your voice wouldn't reach so high without falsetto. Sing as many songs as he did in this concert before doing this, I'm sure any of you haters would handle it.
The first concert dvd I ever bought was the "Live At Wembley" 25th anniversery edition. Played the shit out of it and I am still amazed how stellar Freddie's vocal prowes was.
Wow incredibile cosa riuscivi a fare con La tua voce incredibilmente unica nell'universo nessuno come te la leggenda vivrà in eterno per sempre nel mio cuore ti amerò per l'eternità love of mi Life Freddie Forever ❤️❤️💝❤️❤️👑🥇👑🥇👑🥇👑💝💝❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💓💓💓💓
Beside of this amazing Drummer, gorgeous guitarist, fantastic bassist and "God" as a vocalist, we can notice that the piannist, perfect unknown dude, is doing a great job too!
He isn't some unknown dude :) His name is Spike Edney. He played with Queen on their last 2 tours (this one included - Magic Tour) and he plays with Brian, Roger and Adam Lambert nowadays.
The first time I watched this concert on UA-cam, I was just listening and I was like, hey good shit Brian. Then I heard Freddie's "ah" after a jam and I was mindblown that a human being could produce such amazing sounds with just his vocal cords..

I am a BIG Beatles fan, but I have to agree... Freddie Mercury is the best...

Yes my friend
Ghost Busters then u r great
Queen is better but Beatles still amazing 😉

The fact that they improvised this is mind blowing! It sounds like a song that any other band would only be able to compose in weeks but every single of Queen member is a musical genius so they can improvise melodies that would take others weeks to compose.
I could listen to improvisations like this for hours
I don't think he was himself during this performance. Something was possessing him. He was a musical instruments himself. Greatest Entertainer that ever lived. Miss you freddie.
Freddie mercury was a music instrument himself! Absolutely amazing!
Only one word is enough to describe the power in Fred's voice.....
*UNREAL*

Exactly

"turn it up, fredddddddaaaaaayyyyy."
Gar96 Hahaha, great observation!! I’ve been listening to this dozens of times but never heard that!! 🤟🏾
i just died while reading this comment 😂😂😂
.... Freddie thinks back: *You wanna fool around....?*
Gar96
Random Guy in the crowd: “turn it up, fredddddddaaaaaaayyyyy.”
Freddie: *“Hold my beer....”*
@@yonezawa2810 Surely "Hold my champagne, darling"?
No wonder Mike Myers said "Freddie was God that walked like a human on stage", I agree with him.
yes Freddie was GOD!!
No one will ever beat or be anything close to Freddie! Freddie is the best you'll ever get!
1:39 That is incredible.
Invreible
Bb5
That is the highest note of Bohemian Rhapsody, the for meeee!! part
Legende
@@asierrey5666 his highest note is not from bohimian rhapsody. His highest is a F6 note
Freddie is still a legend today. Cause no one can match his voice range.
And the range of 4+ octaves
Tim Foust, a bass whom I personally admire very much, has a 5+ octave range, but even he would say that he didn't have anything on Freddie Mercury - And I'd have to agree.

Voice of an angel

Goose Bumps. FM is the musical KING of KINGS. Long live the KING!!!!!!!!

No words just music ! No one will ever come close to Freddie !
Nobody better than Freddie. He can make your life better in a heart-beat. :)
Incredible vocals......Freddie was one of a kind.......and we haven't seen another since. We still love you Freddie! King of Rock'n Roll!
Poderia dizer:sem comentário!!! Mas não dá pra deixar de falar como é demais ver Freddie brincando assim com essa voz que Deus lhe deu!!! É demais!!!!
Love it! Queen just screwing around, and they still kick serious ass!
just screwing around ? do you know how many octaves he can sing!

Nobody holds a candle to the greatness of Queen and specially to FM's majestic voice.
I love them so much.... Freddie, Brian, Roger and John... They're so perfect.
the perfect rockstar ..prototip ..rip Freddie, we will love you forever..
Undoubtedly the best voice of ALL TIME
I can't believe this beautiful voice is from human
1:39 How in God's name is that possible? And a human voice? Speechless.
sooooo beautiful a spontaneous tune, your soul can cry...a human synthesizer..it was like he wasn't singing but was the song itself....
I can never get over the power of his voice ....and his LIVE ...amazing
1:44 DAMN I THOUGHT THAT WAS BRIAN WITH GUITAR 💀💀😱😱
???
I love to *DRAW* meaning voice sounds like electroguitar
1:40
The best singers are the ones who can use his/her voice as a musical instrument. And Freddie is one of the very best singers I've ever listened.

I think Freddie was perhaps getting sick of all haters who dissed him for lowering notes/ removing falsetto from his live performances. So he did this gig, which certainly silences many of those doubters.
These impromptus where part of the live shows from 1984 onwards and at lots of them he did falsetto, it wasn’t just this gig, but i see what you mean
Hardly silencing anyone......those are just noises anyone can make......they arent sung notes in a song
@@stevens5541 So go and make them note dopey, so how hard it is. Also he has sung falsetto if you want prove I can see you them, and he has attempted high notes in a song, but you are not a Queen fan and you probably checked one or 2 concerts.

What a voice
i could hear this all day
He´s absolutely amazing!!!!
His voice was just at 4 octaves actually I believe if you include falsetto and whistle. The thing he had on almost everyone was projection, resonance, and amazing pitch control.
Freddie's voice reaches parts of me no one else can, and that is that.
Best Live Show Ever!!! wow what a band
What range he had.
4 OCTAVES, that's what we know...Unfortunately I never been seated in front of him at the piano while creating new harmonies!!!
His voice makes you fell like you are there with him.
F2 - F#6.
Ethan Thompson - Murray F2- F6!!!
@@claroca7619 watch liverpool 1979 performing "Get Down make Love", Freddie nails an F#6 there
Musical Perfection.
L'autotune ha imparato da lui!Non ci sono parole x descriverlo è semplicemente un miracolo della natura! Grande Freddie sei il migliore!
FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!

Freddie didn’t have a vocal coach he says in the interviews
Freddie's natural vocal range was baritone and never took any vocal lessons.
Sa voix est d'une pureté sans nom... Fantastique !
Watching this on DVD right now .love love love Queen.
Never get sick of this. Really no words..
Oh hang on
AMAZING!!
Freddie for ever in my heart
Freddie is considered a legend in his lifetime with an incomparable voice.

No Words Needed...
There are no words...incredible scratches the surface.
First time I saw Freddie Mercury on TV, I was like ''Fuck, he can sing high''...now, I don't know if anybody can go that high.
Fantástico...
as musical artist ..the greatest..
he is much to versatile to be just ONE musical instrument :) he is a WHOLE band by himself
It's funny how this short video is almost more than enough, to imply Mercury had the greatest voice ever.
