In the later years they had Spike Edney on keyboard backstage in order to make it possible for Freddie to perform in front -!

​@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 He also played guitar on some songs.

Utterly ❤!

Queen's secret weapon

Freddie ❤️😪🌷

Shannon....get real!...there was no auto tune in those days😉

@@josephinemonahan915 agree,but he sounds great..unlike the robo-musicians of today

Bit hard to use something that wasn’t even invented until 1997…6 years AFTER he died

Hi. Carol...yes John is definitely overlooked sometimes...he makes playing the bass look so easy....what about his solo in Liar?...live at Hammersmith Odeon..amazing!..Hi John, I hope you’re keeping well🌺

Also he wrote Another One Bites The Dust. A great song. But there will never be another Freddie! Miss him. Vocal and musical geniuses!!!

Yes! Can't forget John! He contributed so much more than anyone knows!

John wrote a lot of their songs too.

It's Roger singing the background vocals throughout! He is amazing to sing and drum at the same time!

What exactly are you doing with that car Roger?😂

Freddie once said he could sing so high that only dogs could hear him!!🤣🤣👍🏼

Roger can sing high, but on Bohemian Rhapsody all the vocals were done by Freddie, then layered onto the track

His falsetto is so flawless… while killing it at the drums! Omg.

I also saw them on that tour, in Memphis 8/5/80. Saw them in ‘74 & ‘78, too. And of course you’re right- they were a force of nature live, and Freddie always had surprises for us, of one sort or another!

@@3ScotsInk After you gave the date of the Memphis show, I had to check. The Baltimore show was on August 23. I still have the ticket stub in a photo album. One of many.

Awesome that you kept souvenirs. Wish now that I had. I met Freddie at the hotel after the 74 show where Queen was actually the warm up band, though I’d been a fan for a year by then, and didn’t even ask for an autograph. Sounds crazy now, but he was so different offstage- very soft spoken, friendly, and human, it just seemed to me that it would’ve felt, like, inappropriate to ask for that. Anyway, it’s always nice to run into someone else who saw the same tours that I did. Memories, and in your case, memorabilia to last a lifetime.

Er, well Lynda, I've something to tell you...

​@@willswomble7274And what exactly would that be?

@@LyndaHill He came from a very traditional, strict family but 'wanted to be free', BIGTIME...

I seen Queen in 1977 live and it was phenomenal!

YES !

You are right. If I remember correctly, Tim Rice said that if Freddie had been trained, he wouldn't have been able to sing the way he did. Thank god he wasn't trained.

@@carlstevenwilletts great point Carl, would have restricted him certainly.

Was there as well. Unforgettable experience.

Was in Sydney, Australia

👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍

Wish I were there.

This is why the SUPER 70S WERE SUPER!!

​@@kenperkins7921 They were the best years of my life and I'd do it all again but this time I'm gonna take more pictures!😉👑

😂❤ great!

YES!! Great suggestion!

Me too.!

Nope, that honor belongs to Stephen Ray Perry. He’s dubbed “The Voice,” not Freddie. Even Brian May acknowledged that Steve’s voice was once in a lifetime. Plus, this year, Steve was voted greatest male vocalist by Billboard Magazine’s fan poll. Fans picked Steve at 67%. Sorry, he just wasn’t as good as Steve. Freddy’s vocals a lot of times sound forced. I’m not saying he’s not amazing. I’m not saying he’s one of the greatest. He’s not the greatest. That distinction belongs to Steve. He can hit the highest of highs and slide down the low and back up to high again with absolutely no effort, no cracking, his voice no forced notes he’s just amazing! There’s never been anyone like him and there won’t ever be anyone like him again. If you have any doubts about that, you should go listen to the live versions of Patiently, Lay It Down, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever, Mother/Father… Those songs I’ll have extreme local acrobatics in them and Steve has every note flawlessly live. Even in this version of somebody to love, you can hear the forced notes from Freddie sometimes. You’ll never hear that in a live version from Steve Perry. I’m not saying Freddy is an amazing like I said he is. But he is Nazi. He’s not even close to Steve Perry’s voice.

And no mention of John Deacon’s mastery on bass?

And of course Deacy on bass

*Freddie

What ab the fact that Roger Taylor could be a lead singer for a band

and we have that guy on bass !! ahahah

QUEEN IN THESUPER 70S... 70,GRRR RATE! queen in the 8s ....DiSGUTING!, PAR FOR THE 8S😅 Unless you are homosexual.

Think he would have preferred to have been called the Queen lol

I was at that concert , in fact 2 in Montreal and the liveaid concert and I can tell you, filming or not, they were better luvr that the studio version. !!

Aunque no hubiese sido filmado sus interpretaciones eran brillantes, nunca fueron menos.

What’s it being filmed gotta do with the quality??? It’s good quality because it was filmed using 35mm cameras (cameras used for filming movies), also the dvd of this show was upgraded to hd and 4k

He was the best lead singer no band ever had.

Deb.. great point

🤟😁

Probably 1980..1981 was s.america and these Montreal shows

John Deacon is criminally underrated. No one appreciates Bass players

They were always in tune and on point - but they could make faults - but they had no autotune or other devices - back tracks or clicks - - they were musicians.

Oh yes we could. You'd be surprised what we could do back then. Tweak the highs, add a little reverb. Or a lot. No we didn't have Autotune, but there was a LOT we could, and did, do.
