Seriously

What painting?

why is it hard to believe? it is made in the same feel and compliments perfectly

And such a tiny painting... Lots to see, though! :-) I once stood in front of it (@Tate Britain) whilst listening to the song and trying to find all the characters Freddie sings about. Had always wanted to do that!

No it's hard to belive that this live rec has been pitch corrected.

Me too

To see the bootleg

Same

Rock Montreal too..... :)

Me too

The audio was released in 2014 on Live at the Rainbow '74 (31/3/1974)

hahahaha fuken same

he can always sing his songs live

I love when that happens! :)

captain cow 👍👍👍👍

Big yes. Deacon so good here

captain cow Fuckin love Deacon.

I LOVE DEACON SO MUCH

John Deacon says thanks

Wade Harten hell yeah

Yes!! The early stuff is part magick!

I love the epic tales that used to sing Queen

@@jeaninealcantara2182 That's why my favorite album is 'Queen II' (1974), especially the 'Dark Side' of it. Tbh, my favorite Queen albums are the ones from 1973-76. The others had great hits, but they weren't masterpieces like Queen II and A Night At The Opera.

@@gsantana3 yeahhhh 👌👌👌

For me, best Freddie's era is 1971-1991 ;-]

And he was damn good-looking in the 70s:))))

@@discodeaky4627 deep dive to queen songs my deAr

His whole life was his best

Freddies Piano Era ....Just spectacular

I hope someday we will watch real footage of this song. Maybe there are some lost footages of the show, when it was recorded (31/3/1974) or 1/3/1974 (Blackpool), but it isn't very possible.

***** That's the thing... there is video footage from this night, but today only for part of the show. Somewhere, in some dusty box somewhere... we hope! : :-)

Queen Productions says there's 38 minutes long video recording. Sheetkeeckers bootleg is 38 minutes long. So probably songs included in this bootleg were recorded on video. Too bad there's no Master Stroke. But we shouldn't be sure that it wasn't recorded.

@@BobHarley you can buy the albums queen 1 and queen 2 enjoy.

I can listen to them on Spotify

Queen have their own style on some songs like this. I want to make a better version of this video (without Freddie at 0:20, and I must replace some clips from old VHS release with new clips).

+Bob Harley oohh i could only pray you could do it. thank you for the hardwork. that must have been a headache to done. kudos...very much for you

It's not rock, psychedelic or progressive It's Queen 😍

This is definitely Not prog rock. Are you deaf or ignorant??

Personaly i say that 70's Queen is the best

Gentelman *Puka* i back this theory

The first four albums...

Really? :-D this video is fake :-D don’t you see?

@@danalexpiano The video is a montage from a live concert, yes. But still, it's an excerpt of that show) And basically I meant the rendition of the song.

Great early queen. if you want to see a young band that reminds me of if early queen in there own way with a great drummer singer check out the warning. The song dust to dust live Lunario . From the warning channel blow you away

E. A. : Just like the band “The Raspberries”, I’m always amazed how they could do that live.

Live version of Nevermore would be nice!

+Bob Harley btw thank you for upload this. were you thd one who remaster the tape to media? how much a headache it would be i imagined

Queen Productions remastered it.

Just watch the hole concert then you will maybe see it. Google for Queen Concert at the Rainbow 1974

At least we have the BBC "live" version.

Точно, для меня здесь Фредди - открытие Новая грань его таланта- бриллианта Thanks a lot Bob Harley

And so many people dont know just how pitch corrected and autotuned this song is.

Stupid it is a live

@@kadventure u dumb, queen diDnt use auottouen for 70s, this is lIve it has no auto tune, AND COMPARE TO MODERN ARTISTS TODAY THEY ARENLTERRALY A COMPUTER SINGING GO AWAY

@@user-ld6is4ni3d This concert was realeased in 2014 so yeah prretty much autotune.

Yeahh but we should use earphones for a better quality

*subtle

TheDancing Queenie English is probably not their first language, it was just one mistake

@¿ TheRealQueenie ? we love some discrimination

most probably a studio overdub, I would say almost surely Freddies line form the original studio version. And all voices heavily autotuned - just look (hear) how strangley they all blend on "down", they phase indeed :-D

Ferrando Giovanna about this time is where I found Queen..good times💖

@@wreckofthehesperas8323 the parody of dont stop me now is where i found queen the parody name is:dont ban me now

I just learned that this was overdubbed, pitch correction, etc. Its not real. Like 88 percent of Queen concerts are overdubbed. And ESPECIALLY this one.but I am still a HUGE fan 😊

Abby Dreher actually this song has only been pitch corrected, since this was not on the original planned release (which featured 8 songs from the show) they didn’t overdub it, in conclusion, the audio is 100% live, but QP decided to pitch correct it. most of the ovedubs were also removed from the rest of the show and all flubs were adjusted digitally.

Sciadi abby dreher yeah I also learnt afterwards that this gig is hugely overdubbed. There’s a video on KZfaq which compares the original vs the overdubbed version ! It’s a shame that most of Queen live albums are like that because without anything Freddie’s voice is amazing. That’s why I usually listen to their live performances via bootlegs on gregsynthbootlegs channel for exemple the quality is often not very good but nothing is corrected and not any part of the show is cropped !!

He is amazing

@@comradeabby3141 most overdubs r unnecessary and dont sound better or worse apart from this song which i think is probs different but i cant find the original

make that six dirty laddios!

count me in!

Out of 1100 people only seven gave it a thumbs down. That's pretty incredible.

HAHAHAHAHAA

Up to 14 dirty laddioes!

like most of early Queen songs, like Father to Son

@@BobHarley I agree. I prefer most of their songs live to the studio versions. Not that I don't like the studio versions, but I almost always like the live versions better. Except '39. I really love the version on the album better, with Brian singing the lead and Roger's soaring falsettos that he was pretty much never able to reproduce live, since he started to lose his range not long after.

@@anij8226Yeah, Roger does do the falsetto part perfectly at Hyde park and 77 Detroit, but after that he isn’t really able to hold it all the way through though he does still sound beautiful

Absolutely agree!!!! Just brilliant!!

YASSSSSS

They last a bit more than 4 mins pal

chills everytime

Incredible! Do you have any memorabilia from it, did you ever see them again?

This is not live and video is not from this audio.

same

yeah, that's really incredible. To make such a song out of a picture and to perform it live like that... unbelievable and unimaginable nowadays. I am overwhelmed by this song. Music in its perfection.

Freddie had the painting in his mansion in London. It was his favourite.

This is a compilation of video fragments from different shows. Recording is also not live.

So true

not to mention all the falsettos roger had to do

Roger was asked about this and he said he didn't find it particularly difficult to sing and play drums, even when singing harmonies and such. He said he gets asked about that a lot and he just never found it the least bit difficult. I think that speaks volumes about hiss musical talents.

I think It's called melisma or vocal ornamentation

Live is a shitty album. They should have put the song of the gigs from the crazy tour in this album instead of the ones from the killers tour.

marriusmal i concur. Freddie sounded waaay better in any other of their concerts. However, i must say that listening to the Live Killer's opener We Will Rock You (fast) for the first time, converted me into a Queen fan for life. So Killers has a special place in mu heart.

The band was not happy with LK mix; however, imho, LKs has the best version of Brighton rock outside baby driver of course:)

@@PS2013 How is the Baby Driver version distinguished from the original? It's the same version, not to be compared with a live one.

Valery Lurex Yes I know. No need to try and prove your right with semantics on a KZfaq Rock & roll video. Yes Baby Driver version is same BR track off Sheer Heart Attack. Maybe remastered

It was also performed in Blackpool in the same tour, according to a fan, but no recording exists

But a short time of the first concert at the rainbow was recorded on video, I think...

@@muc_michi Son and Daugther, and Modern time rock 'n Roll

You may not speak English but judging by this comment you can write it.

It was performed in Blackpool 1/3/1974, Sunderland 8/3/1974, rainbow 31/3/1974 and 2/4/1974

Te entiendo perfectamente

Parece que esta editada con autotune

@@ivan321pum 😳igual lo pensé

@@ivan321pum lo está, una pena la verdad

@@ddedavid Que monstruo le pondría auto tune a el mismísimo Freddie Mercury, es un insulto.

You are just wrong. This is a studio record.

SAME

It was nice, but, there's a lot of autotune so you can't really know how should it sound

@@BobHarley Oh I forgot, I also heard that some Queen live stuff is overdubt with samples of other live performances or some passages tuned to the right notes.Thanks for reminding.

you're welcome! actually there's a lot of autotune on every Queen Productions live release since 2014

Brasil!! O álbum Queen II do Queen na minha opinião é a obra-prima da banda ♥

very Freddie indeed. if not been a singer, i would imagined he would be a designer or a painter

Not much of a stretch seeing as everyone knows he has a diploma in Art and Graphic Design

This is not only the title but the song describes the painting in details

Most QUEEN fans already know this, thank you.

No, he murdered him with a knife.

IKR

pigglescreep because it is the only live performance of this song www.setlist.fm/stats/queen-43d6e37f.html

It was played 3 times during the Queen II tour. March 1st (The opening concert for the tour) in Blackpool, March 8th (Queen II's Release Day) in Sunderland, and March 31st in London.

@@ryannewton1202 Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to see if you have those gigs posted right now.

@@ryannewton1202 HELLO THERE

Real Queen fan

ah darling, what song do they have were not oddly fabolous?

i'm sorry, this was autotuned by Queen Productions

@@BobHarley Their corrections are pretty subtle, it doesn't take away from Freddie's performance.

Bob Harley Do u know if they did overdubbing tho?

@@TheaterPup It's not subtle at all, his voice sounds very unnatural.

@@MushroomVortex 1992 VHS release was heavily overdubbed, this one is just autotuned, I think

Veo La Musica exactooooooo

Lamentablemente ese concierto esta "Sobre enderezado" osea que le corrigieron la voz poniendole un track diferente a la del concierto para que se puedan beneficiar mejor de forma comercial

@@GeometryDashLatino en realidad en raimbow hubieron 2 conciertos unos esrta grabado con audio e imagen, pero el otr solo se tienen trozos de el audio. nada comercial, solo hecho por quien creador del canal que lo modifico asi

@@redbetelgeuse943 te corrijo, ahora que pasó un año puedo dar argumentos mas concretos. Ya me entere que el concierto tiene 2 fases, una en marzo y otra en noviembre. La noche de noviembre tiene Blu-ray y todo, pero la 2da esta publicado de forma comercial en una versión deluxe del Rainbow '74 (solo 2/3 del concierto esta publicado y solo en forma de audio) a lo que voy yo es que estos 2 conciertos en mayor o en menor medida estan arreglados ya sea con poner pistas encima de las original, o algo menos intrusivo como cambiar microtonos y otros factores que se pueden diferenciar. Esto te lo puedo afirmar con un video en Dailymotion, el cual solo tiene 50 minutos de la noche en noviembre, pero la particularidad es que viene del vhs original, lanzado en los años 70s u 80s (no se cuándo salió exactamente, por eso el margen de tiempo) Este es: www.dailymotion.com/video/xrsqxc Compara ese audio con las del release de 2014 (noviembre) Puedes ver a primera vista la diferencia que hay entre un audio y otro, a tal punto de que el lanzamiento de 2014 puede llegar a sonar hasta robótico. Puede que me haya ido un poco del tema, pero es nesesario para entender que es lo que digo! Saludos!

Y esto lo puedes notar desde el min 1:47 en adelante. Escuchas como si no fuera natural y estuviera muy forzado. Esto lo hizo QueenProductions ya no por un tema comercial, si no mas por perfecionismo por parte de estos (Wembley 86 2da noche, Montreal 81 y Budapest 86 sufren de esto mismo)

I think the same it's brilliant
