In what we can agree is, for you and me QUEEN was the best band ever heard, is one of those bands which were unforgettable and incomparable but there everyone has their own opinion about which one was the best.......music is subjective.

      Sorry to disappoint you, but this performance is actually two performances combined, they performed in Montreal two times on two days and the audio and video was combined to make a better performance (the best parts of each show), you can actually hear somewhere in this video Brian playing a single note while he is seen playing a chord. Somewhere around the ending. That's a good example

      Tailor is way out of the ordinary. Just calling him a drummer is almost demeaning. This clip is one of the few that actually gave him some exposure and he is Extraordinary! Usually you just hear his drums (all the highs are his) - Most exposure is always on Freddie and Brian. Deacon usually takes a step back into the shadows. Tailor is almost a rock keeping it all together.

    This is amazing. At 3:35 Brian wanders off the stage, fixing some issue with his guitar. Freddie notices at 3:40, and goes into an extended improvised vamp. From around 3:53, Brian is making what sound like tentative strums to check something? Then from around 4:10 he's vamping, and Freddie takes it as a cue to continue properly.
    Well, I think. It's all incredible.

      100% and I'm someone who used to hate listening to live performances...but there are just certain bands/artists that have this energy that comes out during live performances and have ways, like ad libs, of making the song sound so different from the studio recording, in a good way, where it's almost a different song or at least gives u a different perspective on that song. This vibe is so different than the studio version...feels more emotional and relatable. Another song I heard recently (not new, just new to me) that gave me a whole new perspective on a song was Bon Jovi's acoustic version of Living on a Prayer...completely changes the song...Disturbed doing SoS was the first time I actually paid attention to the lyrics...I'd heard the original 100x cuz that's the music my parents listened to, but the lyrics never stood out to me til David sang it. I cried the first 10x (prob more) I listened to it. I just love when someone can revinvent a great song the right way and Queen does that so well in this performance 👏

    I just can't wrap my head around how well this band performed, no bullshit, no live autotune, just true musicians really creating a piece of art together all at once while on the spotlight, on top of a stage performing for thousands of people in front of them! Just the way they can really focus their minds together in such musical syntony to create something so beautiful, so special and so rare that even artists 40 years later could never dream of performing, even with all the advancements in technology that should allow them to.

      that is because these band members were highly intelligent and incredibly good musicians when they were in their late teens unlike most of the crap that is produced today by the likes of Covell and others . Nothing IMHO will ever be better than Queen Live or Studio there is no better music ever made. The only persons who ever came close to Freddie Mercury was George Michael and Paul Rodgers of Free fame.

      I feel like it's because all of the greats dabbled in all styles of music rock, blues, classical, gospel, ...
      Most people stick to one genre and can't really stand out if you get what I'm saying.
      Plus these people had ideas in their head, at least one band member needs to have some kind of vision, if nobody does then you'll just end up being a pub band/cover band.

      Freddie is a special talent there are very few artists today able to sing this well without autotune, similarly, there were very few artists back then able to sing as good as him live. He has one of the best voices ever and is an amazing singer and performer.

      They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
      I've seen Hendrix, the Doors, early Pink Floyd, early Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, the Moody Blues . . .
      I saw Queen in Toronto in 1978 and they were better than all of them.
      In fact, I've only seen two bands who were better in concert than Queen.
