  • These videos take a very long time to make so I really hope people will appreciate them.
    In this video, I'm ranking all the live versions of the really hard high note in who wants to live forever, from worst to best.
    Also, to motivate my choices, I also added a little description on the left so that you have something to read while listening.
    If you don't want to read, I also added pictures on the right and (when available) a video.
    Enjoy!
    My list:
    0:31 - Studio Version
    1:06 - Studio Version 2 (Wembley Overdub)
    1:25 24) Brussels
    1:44 23) 1st Leiden
    1:58 22) Stockholm
    2:12 21) 2nd Vienna

    This song is incredible. I was at the last Queen concert of the Magic tour at Knebworth Park and my dad said to me "I want you to play this at my funeral, not the official version but the live version from Hungary.' which I did.
    However I didn't know until recently that every version on RUclips is oveedubbed

    Freddie Mercury was so much more than a rock star!
    Irreplaceable and inimitable!
    No one can follow him!
    Freddie was the music himself, singing with his whole body.
    His voice is unparalleled, his passion driven by some kind of magic; his unparalleled talent !.
    Nobody can do that after Freddie !!.
    Anyone who has seen and heard Freddy knows that!

    Non avevo dubbi sul primo posto, a Frejus c'era qualcosa di speciale nella voce di Freddie (addirittura riesce a prendere il Bb4 Carry on e il B4 feet in AOBTD). Ed è stato solo 4 giorni dopo Budapest, che peccato non abbia avuto la stessa magia nel concerto ungherese.

      1st Wembley is the best for the "touch my world..." part.
      At the same time Frejus is the best for the part I'm showing in the video and Mannheim has the best falsettos in the outro (plus I really like how he uses the mixed voice for the A4 - Bb4 before the guitar solo)
      Overall the best version is 1st Vienna and Stockholm the worst in my opinion.

    I don't understand why Freddie had a hard time with the sustained A4s in 1986. Perhaps due to his illness? Either he was physically not 100% or he was holding back because in the back of his mind, he knew his HIV condition might worsen? Either way, I think in the early 1980s, or when Freddie was his normal self, this version tuned down 2 semi-tones would've been pretty easy for him. In the early 1980s, he had no problem with A4s the way he's having in this video.

    • @JulioCesar-zi3hi
      @JulioCesar-zi3hi 3 года назад +1

      I also don't understand why the difficulty with the grades. maybe it's hard to make the notes with the singing style he adopted in 1986. Or he was just saving himself or avoiding cracks. since in the last show (knebworthpark) he sings much better than Wembley 2nd night. it's hard to know with 100% certainty what was on Freddie's head or what was going on with him.
