Hi I'm Doe, I live in England with my partner and our little jack russell. I make KZfaq videos about all the things I love, so you will see a lot of Beatles and Queen related content, music reviews and reactions, vinyl record hauls and unboxings and showing my record collection. Also we are both vegan and love plants and love growing our own food on our allotment and tasting new vegan food. I love art so you will see some creative projects on here as well as fashion, especially from the 50s/60/70s, I love that vintage style. I also vlog from time to time, especially if I'm travelling or showing you parts of England, hiking in the country, out on the motorbike or exploring a medieval castle.

You really loved this performance. It is beautiful. Now, I, and Im sure everybody here, would LOVE to see your first-time reaction to the studio recording. The prelude with those vocals is truly INCREDIBLE, Doe! And the ending, oh my gosh, the ending!!! It’s wicked! Wicked!! I always told myself, “Ok. Freddie went crazy. He went insane. He’s so in love with this person that at some point, he lost his sanity and he entered into another mental state.” That’s how intense the ending of this song is!! Will we get to see your reaction to that, though? 🙂

@@DoeDarling yes! We know you would be reacting to the same song, but a live performance is one thing, and the studio recording, very different. It’s the same for any recording artist. Now, in the case of Queen, it’s almost TOTALLY different. When we, musicians, are on stage, tempos go naturally faster. But sometimes arrangements change, choices are made, decisions; it’s fun to revisit a song you have recorded months ago and adjust things here and there. Brian said himself on interviews, “We’re never trying to recreate on stage what we have done in studio. The live performance should be an experience in itself. It’s different.” Very brave and true. So, consider making a video for this “You take my breath away”/ studio version. You will not regret it. Go deep in the lyrics this time. Maybe share how Freddie’s life was at the time: break up with dear Mary, dating here and there, falling for people and getting heart broken, etc. It’s a beautiful journey this song. He’s so passionate; almost obsessed at some points. Thank you for reacting to this performance today and for sharing it with us. Your love for Queen, Doe, is so beautiful and brings back memories for many of us. Happy Valentine’s day again! 😄👋🏽

What a great pick for Valentine's day! I loved your reaction to this stunningly beautiful song. It is indeed (in my view) one of the greatest Queen love songs - maybe the best (but there are so many). It remains one of my favorites from 'A Day at the Races', and you should also listen to the studio version (if you haven't done so already, which is hard to believe). Well I have not heard this live performance of the song, so thank you for reacting to it!

Stunning vocal by Freddie ❤ I love how the crowd starts out a bit noisy (requiring a couple of Freddie finger pointing warnings) and is dead silent by the end. The studio version is lovely, Freddie's voice (only) layered for harmonies. There's also an acapella version that's pretty amazing to hear. (We all have a crush, it's okay)

@erickinfantas2564 Жыл бұрын

Wow. I have a story about this, Doe. I was watching the Freddie Mercury Tribute on VHS back then. Metalica started it. Then, Extreme killed it!, and so forth different acts followed. But in between acts, they would show bits and pieces of Freddie’s videos, montages with slow Queen songs. That’s when I heard “My melancholy blues”. Wow, that made me tear up a little bit. But when another montage came, they played “Every breath you take”, and watching Freddie all happy and full of life, Doe, I cried. I sobbed. I was crying like a baby, there in my living room in front of my TV, and the paused VHS tape. Doe, listen to the studio recording!! “A day at the races”, second song, side A. the vocals, the overdubbed vocals… WOOOOOW!! I WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY!!! It’s a MASTERPIECE!!!

The quality _AND_ quantity of excellent songs written and performed by Queen is unmatched by any band in history. They literally _CAN'T_ make a bad song. Some bands have a few good songs and the rest are so-so. There are no so-so songs by Queen. It's all or nothing. _AND_ the fact that they do so many different genres, makes that even more impressive. I love "Modern Times Rock & Roll" just as much as "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" and you can't _GET_ more opposite spectrum songs than those 2. Somebody tell me I'm wrong. Btw, Doe, you're looking more lovely than ever.😘

It’s really confusing, but these are actually two completely DIFFERENT songs: Different song structure, different lyrics… Basically, ITLOTG is a Falling In Love song. ITLOTG Revisited is the About To Break Up “sequel”… IMO anyway.) P.S. ITLOTG at The Rainbow ALSO includes… Roger’s Dog Whistle Falsetto! I’m not sure if this is the only performance on video of him doing this live, but it’s rare.🤯
