That was so cool- Only Freddie could get away with things like that- and the band knew every note he did-and could follow him no matter how he switched up a song! We Still Love You Freddie!
Freddie was a true front man. He sgnalled the other players when to come in and when to finish. Probably practiced like crazy. I have read they practiced more than nearly every other band back then.
@@lmao-zc9ln he was! so was brian and fred surprisingly. there are a few different sources that say it was just brian and freddie and others say just brian and roger. i found it here: queenlive.ca/queen/75-12-24.htm
I tell you something, if i was there and i was to of caught a flower that Freddie had thrown it would be hung in a gold framed picture to this DAY no matter how dead and drab it looks. 😍😍
That's true. I had skirts and I had to iron them all the time!😅 He also wore a satin outfit at concert Rainbow 1974 -September . Also in TV shows. The Top of the Pops . oh! those pants and that fur coat🥰🤩🤩
@@annabelej8021 Yes, that fur jacket! There was a quote I read, I think from Peter Straker, who said that, during that period? Freddie, that fox fur jacket, and his hairbrush went everywhere together! Not to mention those satin pants. Whoa!
@@Barbara-dq2fy 🤩😂. Long haired Freddie looked (in my opinion) amazing in the early 70s. The white suit from 1976, the black one (with the neckline below the navel) from 1977 and the twinkling sparkle one from the same year. Oh! and the white one with wings from 1975. The one referring to the mythological Greek God Mercury! You just can't take your eyes off Freddie!🤩🤩
@@Barbara-dq2fy And have you noticed how often in photos one of them (Brian, Roger, Freddie) is wearing a short black and white jacket (tiny floral pattern)? In the program Top of the pops you can also see this jacket.
The Hectics, the band Freddie was in at boarding school, covered Elvis, Little Richard and Ricky Nelson. It was the students’ version of the Beatles, according to interviews with Freddie’s classmates. They loved the Hectics. Freddie was not the leader nor lead singer, but did play the piano.
This concert and Montreal are my favorite live performances. I mean come on, every Queen concert is top tier epic, but these 2 are on another level. I love Wembley, but I enjoy Freddie on piano all the time.
As well as with tighty ones No shirts A pillow case Shorts instead of shirts It's... Freddie! It requires no explanations as to how or why he looks/is great! :) Whatever
I love this one (we want longer) ! From 0:42 “ Big Spender- Shirley Bassey”, a Song covered by Queen in 1971 during a show at Forest Hill Hospital ; Barry Sheffield is came see their performance, says: “we have to sign with Queen” ! And it is the beginning of their success.
Oh this was one on the best live performenc from Queen! I love this video! Brain plays so good the guitar and Freddie sings so beautiful. Roger and John are fantastic too! 4 Gods! I Love Queen! Yeah Let's Rock!
Wow I remember these two songs saw Queen perform them 3 times Great memories....especially in Birmingham Town Hall watching a group of Harley Heavies singing Hey Big Spender, glorious shame Queen never recorded Hey Big Spender
You mean the fist? Yes, but he only did it once, which was relatively subtle. He knew just what to do onstage, when to do it, and how much to do it. What amazing performance instincts.
Montreal concert, doing Another One Bites the Dust. Those were short. Freddie wore those in protest of the film crew. This was the second of two concerts there that were being filmed. The crew wanted Queen to do the exact same show in the exact same clothes. Queen was really angry. Freddy took it a step further as you will see.😂😂😂😂

CARLOS EUGENIO CARLOS i mean, we can all agree that elvis is ICONIC. well know by many. but queen is said to have some of the best performances in rock history. ask a kid, do you know who elvis is? they’ll say yes. ask them to tell you a song, they won’t know one. ask a kid if they know queen, they might say no. ask them if they know we are the champions and we will rock you, they’ll say yes 100%. idk, just my two cents.
Yes, and it's just amazing. In the 70s concerts, Freddie sang some of the songs really aggressively. 🤩🤩I mean - Ogre Battle, Stone Cold Crazy, Death on Two Legs…. And I definitely prefer the live versions.
That Queen was doing Cy Coleman’s Big Spender in their earliest shows - 1974 - says a helluva lot about Freddie and the band. The song was a killer from the musical Sweet Charity, initially a book by Neil Simon, then the musical in 1966, conceived and choreographed by Bob Fosse, then the film. Here’s the whole number from a Fosse tribute: ua-cam.com/video/st7VE5LS4ec/v-deo.html The single singer who covered it best was probably one of Britain’s best, Dame Shirley Bassey, who also notably put her huge voice to the theme from “Goldfinger.” ua-cam.com/video/5JG-J1ZTGgw/v-deo.html Queen would have known all this.
The point is Freddie and Queen were filling out their shows with extended encores of all sorts of music (Elvis, Gene Vincent, Bing Crosby), already demonstrating a variety of influences. That’s how bands become legendary.
Freddie Mercury doing a striptease. How iconic.
jasminne mcdonald ikr iconic and sexy
Freddie is very sexy😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍I love the Freddie's kimono
I didn't even know he was gonna do all that
I like the way Brian looked at Freddie when he took off 😂😂.
Yeah
I think Freddie was high and Brian always knew to let Freddie just get on with things when he was like that ☺️
@@daffodilyellow2430 He was drunk because it was Christmas Eve
I love Freddie's agressivity singing this song. And the scream at the begining that made Brian's laught.
That was so cool- Only Freddie could get away with things like that- and the band knew every note he did-and could follow him no matter how he switched up a song! We Still Love You Freddie!

Think that he was sick at that concert🙂

@@emilypetsche1 It was probably Roger who had a bad cold. It's in the articles you can google. Magical concert!
@@annabelej8021I read that Freddie had a cold this day but he did the show anyway.
LOL Brian is really laughing when Freddie comes out in the kimono.
Deaky in that hat is just so cute.
Sexiest killer performance! Freddie ruled the world at this time!
I know, right? He was only 29 at this time. Love the kimono, love the striptease, the teeny shorts, the attitude. Everything!
0:37 Freddie Mercury invents the death metal growl.
Brian's expressions and Rogers Rogers wigs, get me every time
I tell you something, if i was there and i was to of caught a flower that Freddie had thrown it would be hung in a gold framed picture to this DAY no matter how dead and drab it looks. 😍😍
Show me
When Freddie just chilling and Brian just laugh and smile and having fun
Lord, looking at Freddie's satin shorts brought me back to when satin was so popular. Mid to late 70s. I had a satin jacket. I thought I was so cool.

Любимые "хулиганы". Как они прекрасны и не "режут глаз". Прикольный паричок у Роджера.
Might be a perm...
I love those three seconds where Freddie purrs like a lion. 0:37
Always loved it when Queen went 50s rock in their gigs. Tutti Fruity at Wembley in 86 is good too

Best Elvis cover I've ever heard. Bar none.
Freddie looks great here 💗🙂
It drove me crazy when I was 13, and it still does!
Oh Lord! What a fantastic live sound! The Drums, the Guitar! Delicate
The bass!!!!!!!!!
WOW! Roger sporting the colorful wig! How can you not love Queen
This concert and Montreal are my favorite live performances. I mean come on, every Queen concert is top tier epic, but these 2 are on another level. I love Wembley, but I enjoy Freddie on piano all the time.
Freddie Mercury can wear a short shorts and he can still rock it and get away with it. What sorcery is this.
Ah..it was made in Heaven...Only Freddie Mercury knows the source!.Merry Christmas 2021..to you and all the other Queenies like me out there.
He could literally get away with just wearing underwear and suspenders…
@@allainangcao28 ROTFL
He was sexy hot through all his incarnation. In his youth he had exuberance and power. As he grew older, he gained control. All good
This has just lifted my depression a little. Thankyou again Queen.
Freddie looks great with loose shirts.
As well as with tighty ones
No shirts
A pillow case
Shorts instead of shirts
It's... Freddie! It requires no explanations as to how or why he looks/is great! :)
Whatever
Freddie could look great even in a trash bag
I just mean most of the time he wears skin tight clothe that are awesome with his body type. But loose clothe look just as awesome.
I love this one (we want longer) ! From 0:42
