Il 26 ottobre 1981 i Queen, insieme al leggendario David Bowie, pubblicano a sorpresa Under Pressure, brano destinato a diventare uno dei più grandi successi nella storia della musica rock degli anni '80 e inarrivabile esempio di collaborazione tra due delle più influenti menti musicali e di stile della seconda metà del 900.
La storia di questo brano è degna di un film, l'incastro perfetto tra occasione, genialità e lungimiranza che i Queen e Bowie non si lasciano scappare. I Queen sono ai Mountain Studios di Montreaux in Svizzera (che hanno comprato nel 1979) per registrare l’album Hot Space. Il loro ingegnere del suono Dave Richards conosce David Bowie, che in quel periodo vive in Svizzera e sta registrando il singolo Cat People (Putting Out the Fire) per la colonna sonora di un film horror di Paul Schrader e lo invita a passare in studio.
Bowie ha confermato la storia raccontando: «Certe cose succedono per caso, all’improvviso stai scrivendo qualcosa insieme in modo totalmente spontaneo. Under Pressure è nata così». Roger Taylor ha svelato che i Queen e David Bowie hanno iniziato a improvvisare alcuni pezzi dei Cream e altri brani rock e che ad un certo punto Bowie ha detto: «Perché non scriviamo qualcosa noi?»
È in quel momento che è arrivato il colpo di genio di John Deacon, uno dei riff di basso più riconoscibili di sempre, l’intro di Under Pressure che il bassista dei Queen ha iniziato a suonare a ripetizione. «Poi però siamo andati tutti a mangiare una pizza e quando siamo tornati in studio John se l’era completamente dimenticato» ha detto Roger Taylor, «Sono stato io a ricordarglielo». Intorno a quel riff di basso nasce una canzone straordinaria, con un’atmosfera cinematografica, un crescendo musicale emozionante, un suono indefinibile all’incrocio tra rock e pop e un intreccio di voci unico tra Freddie Mercury e David Bowie. Brian May ha detto che Bowie aveva una visione in mente e che è stato molto interessante vederlo lavorare sull’arrangiamento, lasciando allo stesso tempo Freddie libero di spaziare con la sua incredibile estensione vocale:

David and Freddie are singing this in heaven
True legends RIP David and Freddie
F yet m8
Heaven doesn't exist moron
Can’t believe two of the best both gone - but never ever ever forgotten. They live on through their music every time we play their music xxx
Freddys Stimme ist wie ein Ochester
Hard to believe this song was released nearly 42 years ago. It still sounds as good today as it did in 1981.
omg...i was born in 77....
@@pmacc3557 My daughter was born in 2005 and this is one of her favourite songs. I think the wee witch has been here before lol!
@@ymcl2020 it's possible
I have you all BEAT!! I was born in 1956 and adore Freddie and Queen! So does my 26 yo daughter!!
😍😍😍😍😍
Wish i could've experienced this era 😢 born in 89 and i love everything about the 70s and 80s... here i am in 2024 enjoying these legends
Same for me!
Thé 70 and 80 s were just as bad as the later years.
I was born in 78 and feel the same. Wasn't really aware of Freddie until he was gone. I've always felt torn generationally, I've felt like a child of the future, trapped in a world of the past, but love the songs of the past, yet stuck with the songs of the future.
lucky me I'm 60 ! no doubt Freddie Mercury Einstein of music !
Sei froh dann bist du noch jung.
2024 and we still here💙
...and they are still here!!!! Fredie and Davis are/were star who never dies!
손가락을 튕기면 그가 다시 살아 날것 같아요....
And now April 2024 the world is under so much pressure
Oh yea we aer
Try 2024...
If you’re ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury
wise words indeed sir. May you best day be your future worst
Freddie actually died almost 20 years before I was born, but I was still alive at the same time as David
He died in 1991, so... are you like 12?
Holygriever 13 actually
@@mtndew9427 Cool! Hope you keep enjoying the classics!
They did record this song, vocals only, at Queen Studio, in Montreux, Switzerland, 1981. Two gods of rock joined their powers and made an epic version of this song. RIP and thank you for the irreplaceable music you made. Long gone, but never forgotten and surely missed.
My Boys....I miss Bowie and Freddie so much. But at least we still have Queen. ❤
I miss this TIME

All they needed was Elton John in their group.
@@glencoe6305 If you are into Saxon, Elton John played the piano in their song "Northern Lady"
Freddie Mercury is a Muscical Genius, and it's 2023 but this song will never get old! 💙😇💙

You are right about that Bowie as well
Two of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century!
It's crazy they apparently never met
@@shethingsd they're literally singing together
Oh how I wish they could still be alive to give us anothe collab 😂😂😂
Amen💗
@@shethingsd They never performed this together live, but they knew and respected each other well enough to have written and recorded this song. They were too intense about their own work to be besties, but there was a lot of mutual appreciation between them.
Also, Freddie's boyfriend/husband Jim was a hairstylist, and was the reason that David Bowie's hair was so magnificent at Live Aid. (He did Freddie's perfect hair that day too, and their good friend Elton John's. Jim had serious skills.)
Bowie and Freddy were both geniuses, was privileged to live in the 70s and 80s and watch such talent..
We had it all back in those days...Oh to go back just for one week!!
Struggling to define what felt different then.. our musical talent - were powerful influences- their reach was global, just with words and music. We had hope.
True!
Freddie no freddy
@@markymark9176 What changed is delusion ended. Everyone in the 60s thought music would be some revolution in and of itself so they never brought actual solutions to the problems they were yammering about. As the words proved empty over time, things got worse. Also Nixon and Reagan happened.
I miss them both terribly 😢😢 The world has never been the same without them.. True legends they were..🙌🙌🙌
❤️
for me its been the same, but I know them and I know they both died, thats called life.
I agree with you. Been listening a lot of Queen songs recently ( Son in we will rock you show) I can't stand anymore the songs that plays on the radio lot of rubbish....
❤so true
I completely agree
The one and only David Bowie. The one and only Freddie Mercury and Queen. Forever famous, forever loved, FOREVER legends. NOTHING COMPARES.
YES!!!!!
My favorite, David and Freddie ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, Love this song ! True Legend’s !!!!!
RIP Freddie Mercury (September 5, 1946 - November 24, 1991), aged 45
And
RIP David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016), aged 69
You both will be remembered as legends.
69. Nice.
@@CarolBaughman🤡
My sentiments exactly.
Both broke my heart, but so very much love both of them, still!
So so young for Freddie, not too old for David either but I have the feeling that they probably lived as much as 3 lifetimes to our one while they were with us😉
Freddie Mercury and David Bowie, 2 of the best voices to ever exist!
Hello. How are you doing Julie 🌹🌹
Bowie le da un repaso brutal a Mercury...
@@noestahechalamielparatubocaen voz? No. Tal vez como intérprete, pero Bowie ni intentó ni fue tan virtuoso como Freddie
@@noestahechalamielparatuboca❤❤❤
Both gone far too soon.
This gave me goosebumps. Two of the best performers!
Yesss, Freddie singing in his high pitch,Chills,Chills,Chills ✨ He had an Amazing stage presence. David Bowie and his deep toned voice resonates within my Soul. Two Musical Icons singing in Heaven. Under Pressure ❤❤
Two Magnificent LEGENDS SINGING TOGETHER!!! GOOSEBUMPS!
💗💗💗👏👏👏
Они моя легенда. Моя любовь. Слушаю их годами, ❤️they're my love forever and they are always in my soul. Deep inside
One of the best duets in human history! Sooo powerful
The other duet îs with Michel Jackson
It never happent in real life...
totally agree awesome
Exactly what I was thinking
I'm 54 and grew up playing this song over and over...it still makes me tear up.
Two of my all time favourites. Not many can go toe to toe with Freddie at vocals but Bowie is more than comfortable there. Loved them both
FREDDIE HAD NO EQUAL. HE'S A PRICELESS GEM. CLEARLY HE SANG WITH MANY AND WAS NEVER EQUALLED
Love them both 💕
I don't think Bowie tried to go toe to toe with Freddie, they complemented each other.
It was a synergy.
Freddie Mercury. A once in a millennium talent.
You know that the song is written entirely by Bowie, right?
It's 2024 and so missing them amazing together ❤
I´m 34 years old, so I never had the chance to see this live. These two were absolutely amazing.
Im 15 and I just feel in love for this music, i mean 70's, 80's and 90's. This is just awesome, sad i couldn't do fan's things or be a part of the crowd on stages, if i was just a little older :')
I enjoy how sweaty Freddie jumps around the stage, rocking it while bowie stands to the side in a pastel suit clicking his fingers, cool as
Freddie lost/was losing someone he loved, which makes the line can't we give ourselves one more chance? This is our last dance Very poignant ❤ always loved, never forgotten.😢
La base !
@@mity8041c’est la base les deux là ! Les meilleures années
Almost 35 years ago to the day, I had the historic honour to watch this legend live with Queen at Madrid, Spain. A 15 yo girl, with a couple of my best friends, without our parents knowing. Still one of the best memories of my life! It was more than worthy the consequences when they learned about it. I cried oceans when Freddie left us, I still think of him when I play his songs. Such a voice can never be replaced and he will live forever.
That's beautiful

👍👍✌️
He was so talented both were Freddie & David best mix of voices!!! Now sadly both are gone,but never forgotten!!!
Funny but similar for me with David Bowie except it was not my Mother that found out (initially) It was the Nuns at school. It was worth 3 cuts of the cane to see that concert!
I will never forget this song. Only David and Freddie can sing this. No one else can, that is the way it will always be!!
And Diva Plavalaguna of course!
@@adamkrauze4411, who is that??
@@lindatoten6452 Did you try to google her? ;-)
Keane kommt nah ran.
Queen & Adam Lambert do a pretty good job of it live, IMO! (with Roger Taylor, who's a damned good singer himself, helping on the vocals!)
This song has always been simply amazing, best played loud.
Two of the most talented musicians ever. Nothing like them exists today.
Miss them terribly.
Miss them………today we have Raul Malo/Mavericks. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to find him just give him and his orchestra a listen. You may be very surprised. Your Welcome.
Go to learn YOSHIKI from X Japan.He’s a distinguished musician.
Love both especially Bowie. This song is one of my all time favorites and I wish they had done more together
Unfortunately yes my friend...Who can perform like this today...
Two legends with one legendary song....great 80's songs!
これはスゴすぎる。僕は初めて、ボーイ見たけど、明らかにふざけてないね。フレディ、まじでリスペクトしてる。
They are not playing in the same stage simultanously. Good camera editing.
Can’t beat the 80s
This performance is a masterpiece of music.🎉❤
フレディ、Dボウイがいなくなった今もう聴く事が出来ないと思っていた曲🎶ロジャーとアダムが願いを叶えてくれました✨ありがとう💖本当にありがとう🥰
Tears rolling down my cheeks, listening to two magnificent men with mighty voices.
Gone but never ever forgotten.
It's so sad they're both gone isn't it?! 💔
❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Crying too
Tears and joy … listen it again in 2022 Christmas time …
60's, 70's, 80's were the time for true music. True legends 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I can't imagine how much we miss those time and legends today. Tired of today's fake auto tune artists 😏😒😏😒😏
True true
Yesterday's music was fantastic, it was for us, those who were part of yesterday, today's music is for the youth of today and they like it, so how about we don't shitcan the music they want, as the older generation shitcaned our music of yesterday.
Not a big fan of Bruno mars but I gotta respect him cause he actually has a real voice.
Im 24 and I like this old music way better. Didnt talk about sex drugs or violence in every single song. Todays music is shit but we have no better stuff to listen to because holywood controls who becomes famous. @itsamemario8014
Nothing comes close true genius 💗
This song is GOLD
Such an amazing song ! Both their vocals and that bass just gets inside your soul.❤ Under Pressure.
Fact❤🙏🏼✝️💃🏼🙏🏼✝️⚓🇺🇸✝️🙏🏼
Bowie is one of the few that could hold his on with Freddie. So glad they did this!
I could listen to them a million times and be in absolute awe every single time! ..Such Incredible talent and sadly missed!
Me too. I just find this so amazing
❤️
Can't believe today, 24 Nov 2023, it's been already 33 years since the genius Freddie Mercury's died of a big disease with a little name as the other genius Prince sang. I feel lifted up in the air every time listen to this 'out of space' song. This song may seem old but in fact it's a piece of art and it's without age!
"I dont care what you do with my music. Just don't make me boring."
@@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo signed by Freddie Mercury.
Freddie Mercury died of the AIDS treatment not of any dis-ease. Sadly
I shed tears at the end. The harmonies were so beautiful. The life that was shared in this moment cannot be properly expressed. I am so blessed to have listened to this version.
I can't believe how amazing and talented everyone on that stage is. Everything is perfection. From Mercury and Bowie's vocals, their performances, to the amazing band behind them
It's making me so sad that I will never be able to see either Queen or David Bowie live in concert. RIP to both of them, the impact they had on this world will go on forever.
hahah in this times buddy.... nobody can ^t even imagine what they did on stage.... but you know fuck it. This Kids from today thinking TictoC and Insta is plus Ultra... XD
They're not on stage together, interestingly. Somebody spliced together two different concert performances.
@@jamesxenophon9505 really? That's so cool! Whoever did it props to you because I had no clue
@@InsertTopicsomeone combined two concerts,one of queen and tthe other is the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert after his death, David Bowie was one of the performers with queen
I had the good fortune of meeting David twice but sadly no meet with Freddie, and for those that say never meet your idol as it could turn bad from your point of view, don’t believe it Bowie was so much more than I could of dreamt of in fact the first time was that David and co star were making a swift exit from the world premiere of Just a Gigolo in London and I was outside smoking and I didn’t know they had left until a limo pulled up next to me and window opened and Bowie leaned out and said can I get a light mate! OMG I was in shock so much so that I told him to keep the lighter! 😂 He said thanks and asked was I leaving early and I said no just have a smoke break to which he said do yourself a favour and leave now only it really is crap!!🤣 He was actually quoted on being interviewed about the movie as saying “Let’s just say it was all of my Elvis movies rolled in to one” He was probably right!
I'm unfortunately 13 so I was born too late to see this masterpiece in person, but it will always be one of my favorite songs. If I'm alive for time machines to be invented, the first thing I'm doing is going to the 80s and buying tickets to a Freddie Mercury concert
Age is a number
When time machines are invented can I go to the concert with you? I'll also get some David Bowie tickets if you want to come too :)

Love this song! One of my favorites with Queen. Freddie and David are amazing together!
Gives me chills listening to these 2 great men sing. Im sure they are still singing together in music heaven now!
God didn’t make Adam and Steve, something to think about. God doesn’t believe in sickness.
So men can't even sing together? Don't worry. I'm sure your god is an awesome god. He just can't make great music.
they probably fucking there
@@davidfinland00007 Yes he did, he also made Billy and Bob and Gene and that other fellow, um, forget his name. And guess what, he made them in the dark when he made heaven and earth.
Hi Marie, how are you doing?
Freddy’s voice has to be one of the greatest . His level is higher than many opera singer !!
Have you heard him sing, Barcelona? Truly fabulous.
Yes I think he could of sung anything with anyone and matched them completely he was so talented what a voice!!
A scientific study explained why their vocal range is almost inimitable. What are the singularities that return to your unique voice?
To prove his vocal genius, there is nothing more convincing than listening to one of his songs. "Don't stop me now", one of Queen's anthems, in which Mercury shows off his unmatched variety of tones...
He was right up there with Minnie Ripperton on his vocal range. 3 or 4 people have in moden times been blessed with this vocal range talent.
He did study opera.
Two classics that are dearly missed. I grew up with them both and listening makes me cry. The greats are always taken soon.
one beautiful high voice, the other the same but down. A wonderful time of analog life where such a concert was a wonderful experience for thousands of similar souls. My God, how I miss those times😢
O ano é 2023 e cá estamos, ouvindo esse clássico imortal❤
On ne pourra jamais les oubliée ils sont dans nos cœurs 💕
2024
Their voices fused in this song, brings an outstanding outcome of pure harmony 🎶💯and musicality❤
My brother was in the military and was able to see them live...imagine that....I love them both still....I'm glad I was born in 1959....went through eras of great music...
RIP David, Freddie, Taylor, Sinead, Adam, Dolores, .....
It’s April 17, 2023. This song will forever be a classical masterpiece 🤟❤️❤️
We will never see this kind of us music again. David Bowie and Freddy Mercury are irreplacable.
did you mean Freddie
No
@@Swtpip they are

The greatest arrangement in the history or rock, and just maybe the greatest rock song of all time. It gets me every time.
Che duo immenso….due voci inconfondibili…due artisti fantastici
Two brilliant musicians and talents. Both gone now but will never be forgotten.

Still to this day, Ive never heard someone do David Bowies part remotely close, even Freddie. Their voices were just so unique and perfect ❤
Así es voces perfectas, al millón que ningún cantante podrán superar ahora en 2024
I wish I could go back in time and see David Bowie and Queen preform this live. As of now, this is my favourite song of all time, with two of my favourite artists.
totally agree just iconic
I don’t think queen and Bowie ever performed this unfortunately 🙁
Ditto!
Preform anything...live
They never perform at the same stage together, they hate each other.....
Какие они красивые, классные и талантливые!
❤❤❤❤❤ The cream of the crop. Fantastic performance by aleeeel of them. I have to listen to this awesome song over and over again.Excellent performance guys. I miss them so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Most likely the greatest pop rock song ever made. Bowie's vocals alongside Mercury's has got to be one of the bravest perfomances in music history.
I cannot get over how beautiful both of there voices are!❤🙏
Two legends, gone but not forgotten
I had the pleasure to watch it on TV 1989 live awesome
THE greatest duo of all time. No more words. Legends 🙏👌
It's 2022 and I'm here watching these two, love the music 🎶 ❤
本当に音楽が好きだからというのが、伝わるね。
One priceless performance !
Absolutely one of the best songs ever recorded
This has to absolutely be the best bass riff of all time, and there for DAMNED sure won't be any more like Freddie and Bowie. These guys are the GOAT's...
Here it is 2021 and I’m watching these magnificent artist who have both left us. Saddens me. Thanks for the memories guys! Takes me back to high school and those outrageously awesome years past. What a life
What they are trying to say is these people are still alive. Out of witness protection. Prince, Bowie, Mecury, Elvis, Marley, Jackson, Joplin on and on and on. Due to turning in the Illuminati for their fame to secrecy of worship to Satan. Praise God. I wouldn't doubt Lennon and Harrison. We'll see!
Joe u are so right
One of the best duos in history, two giants
🎼🎵🎤 maravilhoso os dois juntos, cantando!!
We are so lucky to live in a time so their voices are never silenced
Why would their voices be silenced? People didn't really believe Freddie Mercury was gay, until he was dying of AIDS, by then it would've been to late to silence him, David Bowie was married to a supermodel with Children, umm Freddie Mercury said when he was dying, that the only person he ever truly loved, was his wife, who took care of him while he was dying
If you had to decide on the best rock song ever, you could pick this one. Two geniuses with incredible voices, a song that forever sounds amazing! I wish I could go back in time to witness this.
Not even close, even if you consider this to be a rock song. (It's not.)
Imagine being there..
@@lwh7301 ok opera. Both these two could sing opera if they wanted to. Heck, Bohemian Rhapsody is a sorta musical and David Bowie had a voice for it. Let alone Mercury who already proved it.
@@christystewart4567 Opera!?! You need to expand your horizons! This is a pop song!
You can find a comment like this on every music video
I hope their voices sing together in heaven.
This song is still so relevant today as it was when it was released! Love it!
David’s voice in this is just mesmerizing. I miss him more everyday ❤
I remember seeing this on TV live. I immediately knew I was witnessing something that was to be truly a historic phenomenon.
Brought tears of joy to my eyes. My breath literally stopped watching this . Just Wow!!🎉🎉🎉

I’m so thankful to be born in the 70s and were a teenager in the 80s. Absolutely no music today can compare with the genius sound at this time. Freddy Mercury and David Bowie were legends!

Two complete legends. Both of them were amazing! they were before my time but I grew up listening to their music thanks to my parents!
I am blown away! Just blown away at how awesome this performance is! I wasn't into Queen when I was a teen, but now I'm really appreciating them. And Freddie Mercury...what can I say?: One-of-a-kind, incredible voice, great stage presence. David Bowie, too! I miss them both so much! ❤❤
They did record the song together but they never got the chance to perform it in concert together. This video was made up from two different shows. All of the DB clips were taken from a concert he did with Annie Lennox. All of the FM clips were taken from a Band Aid concert ? I think.
@@9Tailsfan The Bowie clips were from the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute show, where he performed this song with Queen and Annie Lennox. Unfortunately, Freddie was no longer even alive when half this video was filmed.
The Freddie clips were from Queen's "Magic" tour, which ended in a massive show at Wembley Stadium, the same venue as Live Aid. (And the Freddie Mercury Tribute show, 7 yrs after Live Aid. They needed a big place for that crowd!) Freddie finished the show wearing a massive velvet cape trimmed in fur, and a copy of the Queen's crown. He retired from touring after this, knowing that his health was beginning to decline, though he told very few people.
Amazing...no matter where you are, what time of day it is or the situation....you hear those opening cords and you're spirit lights up. You know what's coming
It's back on Billboard 100th as of this week in 2024. Wow. ❤
One of my favourite songs of all time.
I love this song two absolute legends together wow unreal
My 5 year-old daughter is obsessed with this song, and I get choked every time I talk to her about the impact these two legends had on music and culture. This song is in my top-10 canon of music-pure alchemy!! Never a better singer or frontman than Freddie. Never a more inventive songsmithing chameleon than Bowie.
You are so right
You just made me choke up reading this while the song played, thanks my friend
Does she still like this song?
Now you made me cry, again. And, I had just stopped. 😢❤😊 Thank you, sweet person. 😊
One of my favorite duets. I still get teary when I hear it. David Bowie’s music made me feel like less of a misfit, for lack of a better term. His songs, his personality…he made me feel like it was ok to be different. It’s hard being a teen who is an empath & who’s both intelligent but also semi artistic, you feel like you’re waging an internal battle because you don’t know which side you should listen to. Thank you David Bowie & Freddy Mercury.
The best performance ever with David Bowie and The Queen.
It’s amazing how this song relates to today’s struggles ( under pressure) 2 legends
It's not amazing at all. It's basic, universal subject matter.
