      Queen sold millions of albums, that's great! Music today in the 21st century is trivial with autotune raped dozen pop music. The best rock music has made in the past years in the 1950's, 60's, 70's and 80's.

    This is an 80s concert, A cameraman with a 20 kilo camera Betacam. The cameraman assistant the assistant of the assistant, cables everywhere people everywhere, a man with a moustache and shorts in one side watching, the piano full of drinks, the microphone with 30 metres cable. John in his own world making his own choreography Freddie full of life and the public full of energy living the moment. Lucky me I was born in the 70s. Unforgettable

    Shoutout to the cameraman and his assistant at 1:34 . Those 80's TV cameras were HEAVY, and they have big fat cords running out the back. Freddie Mercury, almost certainly improvising, gets right up to the camera lens and starts running around them, and they don't miss a frame. You can see the assistant untangling the video and mic cords at the end, not skipping a beat. Freddie grins and gestures at them as if to say "Did you see that? These guys are awesome!" You can't wright this sh*t.

      The words just ring so true for many of us. Bohemian Rhapsody is often the parody song but no truer words spoken for some. Especially Freddie for his sadness in life and early death. Just an amazing man.

    The greatest 25 minutes of live music in history. When genius entered our homes. How can we ever forget.

      @@koala7258 As far as I'm aware, though, the not he held in 86 wasn't as high as it was here. This is one of the highest notes he's held for that long during the Ay-Oh section.

    Freddie was literally the epitome of a frontman. No matter what he did, he always had the crowd in the palm of his hands as shown at the start.
