It's a BAND (not just Freddie). . . 4 fantastic musicians, each intent on 'entertaining. Freddie the one with the Art Degree felt wearing 'white' was great - even those from the last row of even the most massive audience would be able to see them. But early in their career it was agreed each could wear what ever they wanted. Freddie makes certain to lead your attention to John on bass, Roger on drums and Brian on Guitar. All four legendary.
you are so right!! and Freddie would never have said that he was the star...he always said he is not the leader...just the lead singer. he was very humble. and yes...they were all musical genius great performers and musicians .

Queen wrote the score for the movie "Highlander". Queen's drummer, Roger Taylor wrote "It's A Kind Of Magic" for the score. "The phrase “a kind of magic” is used "by the main character in the film, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: “one prize, one goal”; “no mortal man”; and “there can be only one”. Roger wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Queen guitarist, Brian May, described as “quite lugubrious and heavy”. Freddie was really captivated by the song but he felt if a few changes were made, it could be better than what Roger had written. So while Roger was on holiday, Freddie composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song’s order to make it more chart-friendly. Then Freddie, along with David Richards produced this new version. When Roger returned from holiday and heard Freddie's version, he was a bit peeved but had to admit it was more rock and roll. While Roger’s version is at the end of the film, Freddie’s version appears on the album, in the video, and is the one Queen performs live. Taylor’s version of A Kind of Magic did not see official release until it was included on the extra EP for the 2011 special edition of the album. Roger is still credited as the sole writer of It's A Kind Of Magic,
I have to wonder if Freddie knew he was HIV+ when they did the Highlander sound track. Because that would make “Who Wants To Live Forever” so much more poignant… 😢

i am 65 now but i would give EVERYTHING i have to watch queen live in concert at thier peak again.... you simply cannot explain in words what it was like to be there.... my best description would be life changing.
I feel so blessed having been to every concert given here (Holland) from A Day at the Races (after hounding my dad for a year) till the Magic tour. Freddie was just so, so special ❤❤❤
Queen are still a phenomenal band even after his passing, but before, they were one of the greatest bands to ever have existed. Freddie is, was, and forever shall be unsurpassable.
Freddie Mercury é apaixonante, energia, carisma e voz simplesmente fantásticos. Literalmente assisto os shows do Queen completos como se fossem filmes, é impossível não ficar preso nas performasses ❤
According to Diane Mosley who made his stage outfits, its based on a Matador jacket.There were 3 of them. The famous yellow an all white and a red and white one.
I love this performance, thank you. Freddie's jacket reminds me of the jackets worn by Drum Majors who lead the band onto the field or through the parades.
This is from Live at Wembley July 11th 1986. When they played again the following night at Wembley they made a few changes in this song which made it so much better as was the whole concert. I have both shows and the second night was better than the first.
Hi Maddy! Thanks for your reaction. Freddie and all the band are just the best. How about „Bohemian Rhapsody” live in Montreal 1981 or „Somebody to Love” live at Milton Keyns 1982?
Hard to think that the Lead guitar player has a PHD in Astrophysics and was recently amen important part of the team that created a ship able to go to an Asteroid scoop a sample and fly back to earth release the sample and continue on its journey, plays C a mean guitar too😊😊😊
Those shows were 2 days in a row, 2 twin shows: The first day was spectacular, but the second day was something out of this world. React to the same song the next day, you will definitely feel the difference
This was filmed on Julu 11th - Friday and it was not their intention to film much of the audience, however - next night Saturday July the 12th - thats when audience was filmed, if im correct Saturday night was used for the DVD, VHS etc
The Saturday night footage was so much better than this ! - not just because of better shots of the audience, but better shots of the whole band ! Queen is the whole band, not just “Freddie and his instrumentalists” - *4 equal band members* , as Freddie himself stated many times.
Hello! I actually prefer this song live, although the music video is an interesting concept! Right now, this is my 6 yr old granddaughter’s favorite song! 🎩🃏🗝️ Yesterday it was TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN 😂 It’s a banger & one of my faves! ⛓️🚪🧱
Please react to "Under Pressure ", "Another one bites the dust ", "One vision ", from live at wembley 1986..... Really, any song fro this concert is great.
Thanks, Maddy! first hearing the album version of this (as a long-time fan) I was kind of "meh" .. but it took seeing it LIVE to really appreciate... and also, c'mon.. the BAND... appreciate your reaction...
Freddie Mercury was wearing a designer yellow jacket w/ buckles and straps... it became an iconic jacket because this Queen tour in 1986 in Europe for the 'A kind of magic' album was their final tour (the original band w/ Freddie) ... In 1987, Freddie was struggling w/ his health and diagnosed w/ HIV positive that year... He only told the band, their managers and a few close friends. Queen released 2 more albums in 1989 and 1991, but never toured again before Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991, finally revealing to the public that he had AIDS just before he died... Queen released a final studio album 'Made in Heaven' in 1995 w/ tracks Freddie had recorded in his final months.

They didn't know during the 1986 tour for sure... Freddie did say he was not feeling the best, but they were taking a break in 1987 anyway... but Freddie did tell them just prior to sessions for 'The Miracle' about his diagnosis.

'Was it all worth it' ...was Freddie reflecting on his life as he knew the end was near for him) Like I said: Freddie could not work for long hours in the studio... so the sessions for 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo' took longer than usual... The band stepped up the songwriting as Freddie's condition worsened... so that he could come in and record vocals when he felt well enough. Even after 'Innuendo' was done and mixed, Freddie insisted they keep writing and recording... He kept recording vocal tracks until mid - 1991, when he was too ill to carry on.
