I remember this broadcast - I think it was a segment on London news. I figured they would be very good on the day of Live Aid, and of course they were the absolute best. Video of the performance was not available for some years, as I recall.
The guys were FABULOUS! As an extreme Queen fan, I am so glad I watched the guys perform at Live Aid. It was my third Queen concert (but, from my parent's living room)!
“You’re known for the spectacle of your shows, the backdrops & lights. Will be it be difficult to pull it off on such a bare stage?” Brian: “Well It all comes down to whether or not you can play really.” Freddie: “hold my beer.”

After hearing so many songs and videos of Queen songs, seeing some kind of an interview for the first time, this seems like an experience from another world. It's so fascinating to see them answer questions and play songs unofficially.
Actually he was told NOT to sing by his doctor, because he was not 100%. This stands to so show how awesome Freddy Mercury was, even more so knowing this. He's the greatest for many reasons and each of them as well. Queen is out of his world. ❤️
What's amazing is that Freddie had been sick, and his doctor advised him to not sing. I'm so glad he ignored the doctor. Other than several high end notes, Freddie delivered a flawless performance, and on those notes, he just changed the melody a bit. He was in total command that day. I've only watched their Live Aid performance about 200 times. 😉

@@adonaiyah2196 The Live Aid outfit was seen by billions live in 1985, billions more for the Bohemian Rhapsody promotion material and movie, and it's generally one of the outfits you think of when you think of Freddie Mercury. The rehearsal outfit is really only seen for 1 short ass scene in BoRhap and a pretty rare rehearsal tape that only a couple thousand have only tracked down. It's just logically less iconic than Live Aid.
Was the stage footage cameraman drunk or high? Weird hearing them talk about how there's uncertainty about the show...not knowing that the performance is going to make history!
In the actual concert freddie didn't say build your muscles as your body decades in Hammer to fall, I was just thinking he didn't sing for a vocal break, but in this he sings it, and in the concert you can see his lips moving with his mic down, so he might of just forgotten to bring his mic up, random topic I just wanted to see if anyone knew.
In the concert, that lyric came right as he finished dancing with the cameraman. I think it was just a spontaneous thing and not so much that he was saving his voice. 😀

I never realized how accurate Bohemian Rhapsody(film) was in regards to this rehearsal. I thought the scene in the film was more like the type of thing where they made some generic rehearsal before Live Aid. But I just saw this video and they’re wearing the same clothes in the scene in the film as they are here.. Forgive me if I’m merely saying something everyone else already knew. But I thought that was pretty cool.
Why don'tyou watch the live aid concert bit of Queen - everything (even the camera man on top of the stage rigging) is captured and all the body movements ...ruclips.net/video/_9pfbgpYDsk/видео.html
Great rehearsal...Freddie looks soooo happy here...he had met his partner, Jim Hutton by then..he’s wearing a wedding ring on his right hand, just like Jim did..they were so lucky to have met one another..and Jim stayed with Freddie until he died...and really looked after him 🤩
It’s a Yamaha CP80 - a small grand piano with actual strings amplified by a large pickup built within the piano. Weighs a lot less than an actual grand and can be moved in two relatively small flightcases. A lot of bands used these live in that era, they were a lot more reliable in transport than their acoustic counterparts.
@@KJunior007 your comment makes no sense…the rehearsal was a week before Live Aid…everyone believes that they own their own the truth…..do your research😉
@@josephinemonahan915 How does it not make sense, I’m pointing out what my man above said an that is that Freddie performed better vocally he’s singing the notes and some with more tarnished phrasings which is very clear to see in the video you can disagree if you want, but then it’s just plain to see that your mind is fixated on live aid and you can’t see any other way being better or near it.
Wow, he and Michael Jackson are totally two different persons. Fred is more of a comedian, while Jack is just the quiet guy ya know, also Freddie actually gives his best for the rehearsal while Michael barely tries but still nails the performance.

Freddie, Roger, Brian, John = Queen 💛💛💛💛 😢😢
It’s July 11 2021, I can’t belive this rehearsal was 36 years ago. I love queen 💙
The guys were FABULOUS! As an extreme Queen fan, I am so glad I watched the guys perform at Live Aid. It was my third Queen concert (but, from my parent's living room)!
Either way I know that is awesome. I was 19 in 1985 and had a new Z28 and was partying down. I still like a little bump once in a while.
“You’re known for the spectacle of your shows, the backdrops & lights. Will be it be difficult to pull it off on such a bare stage?”
Brian: “Well It all comes down to whether or not you can play really.”
Freddie: “hold my beer.”
I love the confidence on Brian's face as he says that line.

YEP !
They produced what is arguably the greatest live rock performance ever...
or as Elton John put it "You bastards, you stole the show!"
it's really cool to see them making a interview that actually talk about their music and, in this case, their preparation for the show
1:35 I love Deacy's smile so much!
Deacy’s smile: • •

He always looked modest and shy,
March 2022 and I was working in this theatre today. Just had to have a look at the rehearsal footage. Still amazing.

The psychedelic effect, 12:43, fascinates me! Freddie is in perfect physical-vocal shape!

Oh, this is GREAT! Never seen this before - I saw the interview but not the rehearsal!!!
Class act ! Spending the time to rehearse. True talent all around!
It ends and no one claps, just silence, its just surreal
Wow! This is wonderful! Thanks so much from Germany :-)
It's great. I haven't seen this complete version before
Amazing!!!! Thank you for posting!!!
Luv them ForEver!
Он снова здесь.....вот он наш обаяшка...наш ФРЕДДИ...❤💖❤💖✌✌
Gorgeous! Thank you for posting this!
13:02 YEAAAAHHHH 💪🏻
Os melhores, queen forever❤
ALWAYS PERFECT 👌
It’s crazy that Queen still decided to remaster the footage for their series or just had a better quality hidden from us.
Fantastic!

Idk but this BohRap is so adictive, really good, this is Queen!
No egos involved at all 4:00 in 😂🥰
Freddie deserved a huge ego after his performance
Я смотрю это видео 9 октября 2021 года. Queen в моем сердце 💓
Borap is so goddamn epic.The second carry on is DIVINE.
nice
Grazie 🙏🏻
Am I the only one that thinks Freddie’s Live Aid rehearsal outfit is almost as iconic as his outfit from the actual concert?
Its more iconic imo
Yesss they also have this one in the movie
@@adonaiyah2196 That's just not true.
@@MilesAway why not

Grande Freddie Mercury
Brian’s short shorts
*--* Freddie sold out Wembley 3 times and the last time he was dead..
quitame la respiración that’s because he’s bad ass
That just shows how great he is
They sold out wembley multiple times
4 times since they did 2 shows at Wembley in 1986.
@@MilesAway They also played there in 1980 and some other years
Great even in practice. Freddie doesn't really know how to go halfway. 7:01 It always makes me said because of how he passed.
Rehearsal Starts At 5:42
I was *literally* just watching the old video like 5 minutes ago lol
молодцы!
Was the stage footage cameraman drunk or high?

Quando l'amicizia ti rende uguale anche nelle risposte più banali
Thanks for the upload, hope you’d be able to share isolated FLAC audio of the rehearsal (from the best sounding sources that is) either here or in QZ
First)
Interesting if they have played rock section, would Freddie have hit C5?
With his his throat problem being advised not to play he probably would’ve played it safe but we will never know
Mr Farenheit his throat problem didn’t stop him from WATC C5
Роман Зарума fair enough so maybe but he did have a couple of flubs near the end of the WATC but again we will never know
Probably yes, since he hit in we are the champions.
@@rohanr.9714 funny, but he never hit Die C5 when he hit C5 in We are the champions)))
It's Brian's turn to show chest hair?!
Camera guy just not quite there on the difference between bass and guitar.
He was YEARS into be very sick here….and probably didn’t know it yet….
wish they didnt make the cuts towards the end cutting the songs and transitions..
Why is the camera man recording like he is shooting a prank video and has to hide the camera
It was a single camera shoot, more or less taped to be B-roll footage.
How come they never did Under Pressure, David Bowie was a performer on the day too.
10:19 we all know what we him to zoom in on
Did anyone notice that Deacy didn’t say a word during the interview
12:44 rip camera
Classic rock fans have to get used to watching their favs in 3 pixels
I'd rather watch Queen in 3 pixels, than watch the crap that passes for music these days in HD
@@KeithJones1984 me too 👍👑
Just like at Live Aid....apparently Freddie is the only member important.... camera glued to him. Frustrating.
it's funny how john is dressed in what freddie wore in the actual live aid
Brian's legs would frighten police horses
I wish John would just shut up for once and let the others speak.
What do you mean???
@@DEAD.IM.DEAD07 it's called a joke sweetheart.
@@DEAD.IM.DEAD07 Poor Kay.
@@DEAD.IM.DEAD07 John didnt speak once durrint the interview. So it was sarcasm

BON SCOTT 9 ENERO 1947

The piano sounds different than normal.
Kind of digital to me
@@patricksommer3971 yep, probably cheaper electric piano of some sort

FREDDIE MERCURY 5 MARCH 1947
Love those little white shorts.....Brian May
😂❤😂❤
5:34 I see what you did there 😂
Freddie is smoking
Fred is actually in better shape than live aid here
This is just before Live Aid so your comment doesn’t make sense 🤔
@@josephinemonahan915
It actually does he’s saying that vocally here he sounds better than at Live aid
@@KJunior007 your comment makes no sense…the rehearsal was a week before Live Aid…everyone believes that they own their own the truth…..do your research😉

How does it not make sense, I’m pointing out what my man above said an that is that Freddie performed better vocally he’s singing the notes and some with more tarnished phrasings which is very clear to see in the video you can disagree if you want, but then it’s just plain to see that your mind is fixated on live aid and you can’t see any other way being better or near it.
@ so some random person you say …”my man” is a source of information that you trust… ..so that’s why you’re called “junior”😉
I wish john would shut up and give the rest of the band a say
roger had... facial hair?
Wow, he and Michael Jackson are totally two different persons. Fred is more of a comedian, while Jack is just the quiet guy ya know, also Freddie actually gives his best for the rehearsal while Michael barely tries but still nails the performance.
Michael wasn't even at Live Aid ffs.
6:00 Is John wearing Freddie's outfit from the actual Live Aid concert?
I don't think so, that would be weird.
6:07 there's some sort of pocket or patch, so no.
@@MilesAway Oh didn't notice that, I guess John isn't wearing Freddie's outfit after all :(
I’m sure at this stage in their career they could afford their own clothes. 😀
I think Freddie told his very closest friends and sister about his aids diagnosis in 1987. He told Brian, Roger and John in 1989.
Brian proper dropped a bollock at the end there. Fred didn't look happy! Lovely stuff.
5:29 gosh her accent sounds so annoying!
That accent is british, and Queen was from UK, so Freddie may have spoke with the same accent.
Freddie was Indian/English :/
Are they actually rehearsing at Wembley? The stage design looks a little different, and it’s closed off.
5:12 as she states in the video, the building she goes into is where Queen is rehearsing. It's not Wembley Stadium.
Brian made a lot of mistakes
"No he's right, stadiums don't have a roof"
666th like
13:15 This the scene that Freddy announced that he have AIDS so that they cutted it.
in reality he told the rest of the band 5 months later.
Joseph Walsh no in 1989
Daan Me Myself And i bruh. he never told a single soul since 1991
That was a fictional scene from the movie called "Bohemian Rhapsody". That was made up for the movie.
He announced to the band in the start of 1987
Worst camera man in history
so you’d prefer it hadn’t been recorded at all? that’s what I thought. Stop complaining bro
please take his place and show us all what a talented camera...man...woman...o whatever...
you are!
So this is all the footage available?. Wasn’t there a bit more shown at the Queen convention a few years back?
@elliotretour-_- damn dude he didn’t say that. It is true that they could definitely have sent a beter cameraman
@carrot_slayer_of_patatos right, but they didnt, so shut up abt it
Mister big teeth
