And he isn't dressed like an elderly Chinese tourist in this one!

i think he really liked this light blue color, i already saw multiple performances where he wore that.

I thought that was Bill Maher

+ SwedishHouseFifa John was, and still is, an introverted very shy person. It was Freddie who was able to break John free from that stigma during their tenure with Queen. Sad as it is, John was left very scarred after Freddie passed away to the point that he has pretty much become a recluse.

though thats barely even a special thing these days, do you know how many teenagers and young adults are like that? a huge number of them, i guess the difference is that john is an older man, but then again he didnt have what you would call a normal carreer either. so its hard to compare.

Agreed. I have their Live Aid live version of "Radio Gaga" downloaded and on my playlist, because it's a million times better than the album version. Not a lot of bands' live performances are better than the album, but Queen is in that category.

True

mellow magic Yeahhhhhhhh

True story but still, you can see it's playbacked

@@edizheijden1382 The only playback Queen used live was the operatic section of Bohemian Rhapsody. This performance is obviously not playback. It sounds a lot different from the studio version.

👍, hell ya, it sells it too.

I'd be honored if some Queen fans would come by & give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal live performance of RADIO GA-GA in tribute to one of the band's top 80s-era hits and to Roger Taylor (who wrote the song). Live 1-take recording with no autotune or digital editing. Peace & stay safe.

JD's a great player but "Another One Bites the Dust" is a reworked version of Chic's "Good Times". Bernard Edwards deserves a lot of the credit for ABTD.

@@londongrad5626 The two songs are so different that you can tell John's is an original... And he didn't "steal" from Chic's Good Times!

thank you

@@alyssanicholson5129 no, ... thank YOU!! Us Deaky and Queen fans always stick together! That guy's gotta be "high" on something to dare say Deaky 'stole' that bass line!😉 lol

JD's is not the original. In music the "borrowing" never stops. ABTD was obviously inspired by Good Times, as were dozens and dozens of tracks incl. Timberlake's "Rock your body". No need to get defensive, Nile Rodgers himself has admitted to and demonstrated how he had done the exact same thing. It's much more common than people realise.

From my understanding his vocal chords were actually built differently, so it gave him a much wider vocal range. Pair that with perfect pitch and a stellar band that understand how to create the most complementary instrumental track for the vocals and you get this kind of magic.

He actually could probably sing opera if he chose too.

Hi Roger

TheArmexYT Pro same tho

It's not that stuff shot on 35mm film was poor quality in 1981, it's that it's not until recently that the consumer technology has finally caught up and we can finally see this stuff at home in its full glory.

@@Thoracius I don't know much about cameras. But I'm pretty sure that this concert specifically was shot on cameras used for movies instead of the regular ones used for concerts and everyday use, hence why it can be remastered to this extent

@@sir_sackLook up film vs video tape

Tenes razón ​@@sir_sack

Idk, looks pretty 1981 to me…even if it is movie quality. Just from looking at other films and videos from then. The poorer quality back then though was the cable television, the news channels…

Yeah I don't think a single person on eary underrates Freddie's vocal godliness

@@tdombui he said roger

Not by me, I freaking love his vocals. XD

No one ever underrated Roger's voice

man!!!! its LEGIT ROCK VOICE!!!

The voice is out of AC/DC

Incrível mesmo, eu pensei que fosse a de Freddie Mercury

yeah!!

@@thatdudevj459 And then the angelic high notes he used to have, that I think came from the years when his mother made him sing as a choir boy! He had a neighborhood band younger than any rock star I've yet heard of--7 years old--but it was a ukelele band, I think--The Bubbling Over Boys! Roger's mother got Queen their first gig. They had to use Roger's name at the top, at first, because he was the only well known one in the area because of all those teenage years playing drums And singing And being the good looking draw for the teenage girls--imagine never having an awkward teenage life, but only one spent as the cutest guy in the neighborhood rock band, and then on to Smile, then Queen/his solo band The Cross (with unknowns.) Brian said on the video, "Roger, I always thought you should have gotten other famous musicians for that band." Roger said, "Now, you tell me that."

His and Freddie's voices line up perfectly on "Hey, we're gonna get you too".

I did.

I always do that, lol. I still say we should give more recognition to John Deacon for what he brought to Queen, especially this song. He's talented af but the most underrated member of the band. That said, I'll never stop loving Roger for his unique voice and skills!

I'm also surprised...

You did.

Roger is an amazing singer, and the best backing vocals in a band

HRH Princess Mercury I’m sort of thinking about how amazing Roger freaking Taylor is

Perfectly balanced

Kylie Alvey There's nothing more attractive than a confident man and Freddie had that even as AIDS consumed him. His strength and valor through that made Queen/Mercury fans proud

@@achyan. Well Freddie wouldn't like you either, neither would Queen. Or actually, perhaps they would. Because they were and are still loving, open minded and accepting people, unlike you. You don't deserve to appreciate the music if you can't accept other people for who they are. Freddie was incredibly talented, and for you to dislike him just because of his sexuality is just tragic.

@@achyan. What does his sexuality have to do with his talents and amazing performances? Why does it bother you so much? What's it to you, anyway?

Nightwish i think with the actual singer Floor Jansen are not far from Queen . That was big epic and grandiose and the charism of Floor are indredible. go watch that for exemple. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL-afM95vKilhqM.html

@@huguesdery9563 I love synthesizers, but I find their heavy use of symphonic backing tracks *really* annoying. At least it really prevents me from hearing how well the live instruments complement each other - something that makes it very easy to hear why bands like Queen and Led Zeppelin are considered as such extraordinary live bands. It is a fine performance, but it's just a medley of songs. Queen's live performance shines, because they created these 'impromptu' live versions, so the songs are elegantly wowen together. Just listen to Dragon Attack / Now I'm Here from the same concert.

Sorry but a band like Nightwish surpassed Queen in all perspective

@@eurositi Nightwish are alot more heavier than Queen or Led Zeppelin .Nightwish are a Symphonic metal band and the composition level for their songs compare to Queen for example are not at the same level. Tuomas Holopainene the compositor and synthetizer guy compose all their songs and is nickname was the litle mozart . The blend of symphonic music and metal and the pure talent of their musicians and singer make Nightwish so special . I dont know if you know that but Nightwish the band with the most reactions on KZfaq. Reactors,or Vocal coach or composers who film rhem listening and watching live videos of Nightwish live and said their analysis .

@@huguesdery9563 I don't think there's any point in continuing this discussion, because you seem to be a *very* dedicated fan of Nightwish.

In defense of some of the more timid appearing concert goers in the front row, I imagine there was a legitimate concern that there could be wardrobe malfunction, and they paid to see Queen, not the Doors.
