This is the best ever live footage of Queen. It was filmed in Montreal in 1981. Moblevision developed technology to create a traveling IMAX show with a 5 story movie image. They approached Queen about filming them and eventually Freddy agreed. They wanted to shoot all band members so they used 8 cameras. They had to rotate 3-4 of 8 cameras each filled with with a 10 minute roll of 35 mm Kodak film. They also had people running back and forth to the cameras and a guy next to each cameraman to load the film and pull the focus. The cameras used double anamorphic lenses to squeeze as much detail onto the film as possible. There was no way to say take 1, take 2, etc. when filming so automatic slating was used to create an ID tag for every shot of film. It was the first time automatic slating was ever used. Many years later 700 Apple Mac G5’s spent one MONTH processing the film. A computation compared each frame with the ones before it and the ones after it to remove dirt, scratches and some of the defects of the original filming.
1981-its amazing 1990-its amazing 2010-its amazing 2015- its amazing Today-its amazing P.s: 2022-its also amazing) P.s.2: My birthday, 26 February, i become 18 years- This song is amazing every moment
Love how casual this looked, just strolling around half naked with no shoes on singing like a god, then casually sitting down at a piano and still rocking it.
Anyone else notice Freddie look behind when he realizes the guitar riff didn't kick in at the 2:47 mark? Talk about an amazing sense of auditory awareness. A true musician through and through.
Pretty sure it was recorded in reel. because reel records direct lights reflacted and it has really decent quality. and if it was recorded in digital format that time, it would have 320*240p crap quality XD
Everyone is talking about Freddie and his singing *(Which is out of this world)* but can we not forget about the other members, they did brilliantly in this performance.
Exactly. That's something I've said as well on some of these vids. Everybody is focused on Freddie, but let's give credit to the rest of the band. Especially Brian May's fantastic guitar.
For me this is 8 years ago uhh are u in the future or RUclips just messed this out or like this was sang when 39 years ago and got applouded in 8 years uhh idk
Sin dudas Freddie fue el mejor cantante del mundo. Lo escucho desde mis 13 años y tengo 40 y siempre que vienen a mi ciudad alguna banda tributo, ahi estoy en primera fila. Aguante Queen forever 🤟
even though i'm 16 and never would be able to see any of his live performances because he died so young, We all gotta admit someone like freddie mercury isn't anywhere to be found. I wish people would write and listen to songs like this more often because music like this can't die
❤ desde que conheci Fred Mercury era muito criança ,mais ao vê lo sinto a dor de um MUNDO condenatorio e ao mesmo tempo a perda da sua vida tão jovem deve ser depressão dele que sentia 😢😢😢
Queen, hizo un trabajo futurista al grabar con tan buena calidad este concierto. Miro los conciertos de los 90s 2000s y no hay esa de dejar un legado de lo acontecido en buena calidad
This is absolutely the best quality music video of all time. It’s like literally going back in time. High definition and has a soap opera visual effect that looks even more realistic as if it could have been recorded last week. Just looking at the audience you actually feel your in the 80’s vibe. No lip sync nonsense just pure talent accompanied with beautiful cinematography! A time capsule video that can’t be matched. So mesmerizing!❤
Nobody takes photo or makes videos. There is no Phone. Everybody is aware of these great moments. They live the concert. Maybe that's what we'll never have. Big respect for the Best Group of all time.
Thank you, I said the same thing in another video clip from this concert. So many comments about Freddie, and so little appreciation for the rest of the band. The entire band rocked, and each member was vital.
@@quiteclaw9999 Brian May literally hand made his guitar out of scrap wood and random part, along with being responsible for writing the opening song to Queen's career, among other hits. John Deacon wrote some of the band's catchiest tunes, and Roger Taylor? He's the one hitting those high notes in Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie is great, don't get me wrong, but to say he's the only legend is a surefire way of shrinking the contributions of each member of the band.
Definitely all of them are freaking legends. Each and everyone of them in any other band would have been the most popular member but that's Freddie. When there's Freddie, you talk about Freddie.
vanessa dieudonne he went to london and hired a movement coach i think, the coach said something like ‘to turn into freddie, pretend you’re in the shower, you’re a giraffe and you’re serving spaghetti’ and boom he instantly became freddie
Exceptionnel !!! Groupe extraordinaire ... Quelle diversité dans les sons, les mélodies, les styles !!! Quel rythme !!! Quelle présence sur scène : Ils sont tous les 4 formidables et géniaux ... On n'en trouvera jamais un autre de groupe dans le genre : C'est exceptionnel de connaître ca quelle chance nous avons eu de vivre dans leur époque et de pouvoir les voir en live !!!
Satyam Yadav pick up a history book... the Cold War, the Iran contra, the bombing of Libya, the invasion of Afghanistan, multiple deadly plane hijackings, and the list goes on... the world has always been full of terrorism and filthy politics
Freddie was literally the only one singer in those times who was almost naked at concerts, funny yet epic. And his performance? He was just simply talented, no matter if it was life or on tape, he sounded still the same, still great, he didn't needed playback at all. He had talent, like no one else.
Man then that Guitar solo hit you in the face man that's powerful,,then right into a solo ,I gave 5 years of my life to seen them in the day ,an I've seen so great acts ,
I am in that crowd some where.
lucky you!
lucky son of a lucky
i agree, Freddie was the only singer i saw live (2 times ) that sang better live than on tape
+ralph jenkins Wow! It must have been awesome!! :)
I always wanted to be in that crowd
Some people create music,
some people create good music.
Then you have Queen, who creates freaking anthems!
Freddy creates the most of their songs.
Gerardo Perez Freddie probably wrote about half of them.
And the other half?
Gerardo Perez It's not like John, Roger and Brian aren't extremely talented either.
well
here is is thumbs up.......
for a good comment and this ever great music.......

Nope they will certainly find out. The legend will be remembered for centuries

Listen every day, never get bored, I come from Thailand.🤘❤️🇹🇭
переплюнул всех!!(аж лет на тридцать!) жаль сгорел рано....сколько бы еще услышали шедевров..
The days when people could sing without auto tune
Very very true!!
Jup
Yes
Vocally, Freddie was in another realm to most rock singers.
Ummm, rock doesnt need autotune.
No phones in the crowd, just people enjoying music ahhhhh we wont ever have that feeling again
lg I you're so damn right! Smartphones did something they couldn't achieved at the time, but also ruin our daily relationships with our dear ones.
but there are cameras at 0:58
Is this a joke? You remember its 1981?
Your cell phone is my fucking enemy- flea rhcp
So it’s my fault I wanna take a picture of video to remember a concert?
Soy seguidora fiel de Queen desde mis 12 años en 1986. Cómo me hubiese gustado estar en un concierto vuestro!!!
Brian May espectacular!!!!
Never get bored, 40 years later.

Damn the quality of this vid is pretty good for 1981
Danklord Magic of Montreal!
Some large film format? It's pretty SHARP.
Looks like it was shot on film, because video from 1981 wouldn't look like this.
I could of been restored or remastered in some way in recent years maybe.
35 mm magic, that's what all people say in every good quality queen vid
В живую без фонеры Фредди красавчик подарил нам много великолепных песен
we are all shaken by your great work.
RIP Freddie (Legend)
No need for tattoos, earings or weird hair. No gimmicks. Simply pure music. A true Showman in every sense of the word.
No shirt needed 😂
Suree ... Just on another planet high and performing in his underwear that's it...nothing crazy 😂

This guy can sing without autotune and without any shirt...
No shirt, no shoes, just pure talent
He can sing without a body
His teeth serves him as autotune
Yep we know
Artists back then doesn't use auto tune. Only modern artists.
No matter how Freddie dresses, he will always be THE man
What a voice Freddie had… Wow! May he rest easy.
Greatest artist for all the time!!! His songs never dies. Still has great success in 2021!!!
