      Brian May, the guitar player, is an astrophysicist. Freddie is legend and epic on his own, but the rest of the band were absolutely amazing at using their instruments to showcase his talent. There's a reason that no musician up to today tries to redo or f around with a Queen song. This is the magic stuff that nobody else can ever come close to no matter how much technology they have at their fingertips.

    Simple and beautiful. Freddie wrote this song and the studio version is very classically complex with layers of harmonies and lots of instruments including Brian playing a harp and John on an upright bass, using a bow. Freddie wanted to do it live so the audience could be included so he asked Brian to write an arrangement that would work in that way. So this is it, just Brian on a 12 string and Freddie singing to and with the crowd and the crowd singing back to Freddie. The world loves this song and no matter the Country that Queen performs in, the people know all the words and always sing along.

    WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER…..Live from Wembley 1987.

    Queen is a British rock band that was formed in 1970 and was comprised of:
    Freddie Mercury - Lead vocals and piano
    Roger Taylor - Drummer and vocals
    Brian May - Lead guitar and vocals
    John Deacon - Bass guitar
    Queen has released 15 studio albums, 10 live albums, 16 compilation albums, two soundtrack albums, 2 extended plays, 73 singles, and seven promotional singles.
    Freddie's speaking voice fell in the baritone range but he delivered most songs in the tenor range. His known vocal range extended from bass low F (F2) to soprano high F (F6). He could also get up to tenor high F (F5). Freddie could escalate within a few bars from a deep, throaty rock growl to a tender, vibrant tenor, then on to a high-pitched, perfect coloratura, pure and crystalline in the upper reaches.

    Queen did some soundtracks for movies. Their 'It's a Kind of Magic' album was basically the Highlander (1986) soundtrack and they did the Flash Gordon movie from 1980. On the magic album try 'Who Wants to Live Forever', 'One Vision' and my favourite 'Gimme the Prize' (Kurgan's Theme).

    Two totally opposite Queen songs.

If you really want to blow your mind check out "Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Original David Mallet Video 1987 Remastered)" It was meant to be done for the Barcelona Olympics but Freddie was gone by then. Montserrat still did it and they put in Freddie's voice along with her. They became great friends and Freddie loved Opera.

      They were complaining about Adam singing & Arnel Pineda singing in place of Freddie and Steve.
      The point is that if Adam & Arnel didn't jump in and perform, the younger generations wouldn't get to see the performances at all!!
      Adam has made it crystal clear that he's NOT trying to "be Freddie.". He's just giving it his all to allow the music to still be performed live!!
      And as for Journey, I saw them when Steve was singing.
      HOWEVER, when he left, Neal was blown away when he saw the audition from Arnel Pineda, in the Philippines.
      Arnel gives every ounce of himself when he performs!! Adam does as well!!
      It's just sad to hear people complain about them...they should be THANKING THEM!!!
      I hope you have a great time seeing Adam!! His voice isn't the voice of Freddie, but it's EXTRAORDINARY!!! I love him as a solo artist as well!!

    Even before watching your reaction, i already know you'll love this intimate song. (i've only listened to it a million times hehehe)
    We all know and love Queen for the big rock anthems they gave us, and each of those songs are truly great, but for me... Queen shines brightest when they perform their smaller more intimate songs, like this beautiful and loving classic.
    Queen has countless of songs you need to hear, and two songs i highly recommend are "Who wants to live forever", and "Spread your wings", both are lesser reacted to songs, while i personally rank those as some of the top tier songs they created for us. (and i know i am not the only Queen fan who thinks so hehehe)

    Hi Polo! Its so wonderful to hear you reacting to one of my favorite songs by the amazing QUEEN. Whenever I hear this song - especially when I see it performed LIVE - I think, "Now tell me, what can be better than this?" Just Sir Brian May, Phd on his 12-string acoustic guitar, Freddie giving this song exactly WHAT it needs at exactly WHEN the song needs it, and an audience of 70,000+ singing all the words while sounding like a celestial choir. MAGNIFICENT! This song was written by Brian and Freddie. The studio/album version is multi-layered instrumentally and vocally and is truly beautiful. But I prefer the live version...it's just so pure and perfect...it always gives me goosebumps.
    Polo, I gave you some recommendations of QUEEN songs from earlier in their career in your last reaction to "Somebody to Love". But, seeing how genuinely moved you were in your reaction to this song, I'm also suggesting a song from their later years together - "Who Wants to Live Forever" LIVE at Budapest, 1986. Queen was on a multi-month stadium tour throughout Europe promoting their fantastic album, "A Kind of Magic" when they unveiled this song. Listen and enjoy each note of this incredible masterpiece written by Sir Brian and performed with the entire band - Brian May (keyboard and guitar), Roger Taylor (drums) and John Deacon (bass) who literally make this piece soar while accompanying the one and only Freddie Mercury. Peace.

    watching the audience sing along makes me think of the 2007 Green Day concert. Pre-concert they had music playing while setting up the stage and the audience gave their own performance of Bohemian Rhapsody that is powerful to watch.

    Look up ‘Crowd sings Bohemian Rhapsody’
    That took place at a Green Day concert in Hyde Park, London five years ago while the crowd was waiting for the band to come on stage with music playing over the PA; Bohemian Rhapsody came on and the 65,000 crowd burst into spontaneous song…such is the power of Freddie Mercury, and I was privileged enough to witness it.

    Very different from the album cut. Freddie once said, this song has become a duet, bc that’s the way we like it.
    So many great performances of this one. Their performance from Montreal is superb both vocally & the guitar. Not much crowd involvement which is great for a playlist 😊

    If you haven't already, do listen to some earlier Queen songs:
    White Queen - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975, and
    You Take My Breath Away - Live at Hyde Park, 1976
    Both extremely beautiful songs that show off Freddie's vocal and piano skills to the max. - don't miss the incredible guitar/piano duet in White Queen between Freddie and Brian (Brian May is the astrophysicist rock star lead guitarist of Queen, who plays acoustic 12-string in the video you just watched.)
