Did you know that all four members of Queen are University graduates? Freddie Mercury studied graphic arts design, lead guitarist is Dr. Brian May PhD, Astrophysicist, drummer Roger Taylor has a degree in Biology and bass guitarist John Deacon has a degree in Electrical engineering. Everyone in Queen is as talented off the stage as on it! Queen is the total package, beauty, brains and raw talent! Absolutely love them and your reaction to them! More Queen please and thank you 😊
There are several live versions of this, most have a lot of audience participation. Freddie was expecting them to really join in and they never got quite up to speed, so Freddie had to sing it himself. It is one of my favorite live performances. Actually this whole Montreal concert was as close to perfect as you will see, all four members were at the top of their game.
Regarding the mic, that did happen to Freddie at an earlier performance when he was with another band and continued to use the half mic. He said that he wanted it to be his “thing” and it was
It's a must! Green day crowd sing bohemian rhapsody ( live at Hyde park 2017) 26 yrs after he died people who are fans of green day all ages races some from different countries where English isn't their first language.sing it perfectly.
There are other versions where the crowd is singing all the Way through this time it was to be filmed and the crowd was told not to - tjat explains Freddies “ they don’t know it” and Brians “it’s ok’ . Freddie was furious.
Freddie was in some other bands in the late 60s, but his desire was to join to Roger and Brian in the band Smile. When Tim Staffel the singer left the Smile, Freddie immediately seized the opportunity and they stucked together for the rest of his life. The unity and the camaraderie despite the many arguments and fights in the band is unique, they always supported and never stomped each other.
The story of the bottomless mic is true. The origins of that schtick were apparently accidental. It came about when Freddie was performing right at the beginning of his career with a typical standing microphone stand. It hadn’t been tightened fully and when Freddie made a move with it, the top part came away from the bottom. He frantically tried to put it back, but couldn’t, so carried on as it was. He found that he liked it. It became a tool that helped him perform, it gave him something to play with on stage.
HEY GUYS, I am REALLY LOVING your Queen/Freddie reactions! Regarding what you were saying about the crowd singing and that Fred could just stand there and let them sing the whole song..... That is EXACTLY what happened when Freddie & Brian performed this song at: ROCK IN RIO, 1985 YOU SHOULD SEE IT! Not only did the audience sing the whole thing.... It was a crowd of between 250,000 to 400.000 (The music festival had an "open gate" so ticket holders could come-and-go, which is why the not-exact number of people) ...Whereas Wembley Stadium "only" held around 78,000 (I'm sure someone will correct me if I got that number wrong). AND, the Rio audience didn't even speak English!
Brian may(guitar)Roger Taylor (drums)still tour as queen with Adam Lambert as the lead singer.they still do this song.brian may sits on stage by himself.the rest of the band have a quick break.they put a video of Freddie singing from one of these concerts behind him.at the end Brian reaches out as Freddie does and it looks like they're going to touch.it's very emotional for Brian and people to see that.
Wow haven't heard Adam Lambert in a long time and it's cool to hear he tours with Queen! That last part about Brian trying to reach out to Freddie makes me feel sad but happy to hear that they continue to go on with Freddie in spirit. Queen forever ❤
Well this performance is a big treat!! Just Freddie & Brian without interruption! Usually performed in large stadiums where the crowd sings backs to Freddie! “They don’t know it” quips Freddie followed by Brian’s reassuring .. “That’s alright” 💗💞💕 👏👏
Ha yes the mic story is true. Freddie loved his prop. This audience was actually kind of muted compared to other performances. I love this one, not were perfect.
Bohemian Rhapsody is only Hollywood movie with many mistakes and lies only for more drama, the true in this "great" movie is max 20%. The top was an unvelievable lie about Live Aid and Freddie ´s ilness
It had to be dramatized it’s not a dokumentary and Roger and Brian are coproducers so I Think er should accept that it’s a good movie that gained a lot of new fans younger so they still Can play sold out stadiums and has sold more records .
@@worldtraveler3773 You can disagree if you want, be this was filmed in 1981 Montreal on 35 mm film camera, the quality, the vocals, the sound and just the overall aspect of this concert is better than Rios, literally Freddie was on top of his game in 1981.
@@Nm-oj6fk I don't like this song, but it sounds magical with audience participation (it has nothing to do with Freddie's amazing voice or IMAX cameras)

Written for Mary Austin Freddie’s girlfriend then best friend. He left her half his fortune and his house. They were devoted to one another. ❤

Brian May on guitar with Freddie's vocals. A bit of heaven!

To hear a crowd sing an entire QUEEN song watch..Green day concert crowd sings BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY....chills
Thanks Kathleen 😊

For me it's the best performance of this song because Freddie sang the entire song. Others prefer the audience participation versions.
Interesting! Thanks Susan! 🔥♥️

Smile had ended and they weren't going to carry on with music as a career
Freddie encouraged them to start a new band with him
You just forgot John
@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 John joined to the band a bit later, in 71.
Yes Freddie broke the mic stand, and he continued using it that way for the rest of his career.
That’s awesome lol!

Yup they spoke Portuguese and Freddie thanked them in their language. They also chanted Brian during his part. Must have made him feel amazing too.
He Done it AGAIN ! Amen

Yes he has! & You’re welcome Terri! 🔥♥️

Freddie wrote this song for Mary Austin, his early love!!
Didn’t even know he had a love!!! 😱 - Andy

the crowd....what crowd...?
Watch love of my life Rock in Rio 85 or Wembley 86 to see the audience participation, way better then this one.
The vocals here is much better than the Rio one, this suppresses the Rio version in all aspects.
