This song was actually released as recording the same month of freddies death in November. 18 days before his death I believe. I see comments criticising brians singing or shaky behaviour though a lot was going on and messing with his head. I can’t blame him.
Freddie was really "angry" on Brian that the song was not released in the summer 1991. He was told that Brian does not want to release the song because of Freddie's health, then as far I remember of what I read around 30 yrs ago, Freddie called him around October to ask him "what he is waiting for? Just release it ASAP!". I guess it's an unfortunate coincidence that the song came out 2 days after Freddie's death because obviously you can't get a single out in a day or two after a decision to do it. And Freddie was relatively well in September and October. But during his stay in Montreux at the beginning of November 1991, he decided to stop the medications himself, and his condition worsened literally within days. It must have been excruciating, too, the pain and the realization that he wasn't the Freddie people wanted to see, the hiding of AIDS, the yellow press chasing him, etc. But he was adamant about Brian releasing the song and he liked it a lot.
:-( this song soooo really needs to be in the Made In heaven CD..... this performance in october 1991, November 1991 Freddie Died.. and everything they did was driven by his last wishes...
Brians head at this point was a mess. I believe during this period he was contemplating suicide as the demise of Freddie and Queen as a band really effected him badly. Look at Brian on the 86 magic tour and then compare his stage persona from 91 onwards.
@@charkieee7866 Well, the main idea still applies, if not worse so. He knows Freddie's got little to no time left, and there's nothing he can do about it.
@@SteveFletcherGuitar Yes struggling hard on his creative's partner death, however I really like it and love his voice, clean perfect guitar riffs, he does it all! what a master!
I see nothing difficult here in terms of guitar playing. I've seen much harder folk or blues or jazz chords and played much harder and faster banjo rolls. Even May looks happy behind a guitar for once - maybe just thinking about the money? Steve Vai looking more interested in chewing his gum than thinking about playing a guitar says MORE about this song than anything written on MePipe.
@@ajax4570you sound like a reverse classist. Reverse classists are the ones that think about money all the time. Everyone makes mistakes even you over the simplest things. He's best friend had not long died of Aids which is still an awful disease but was really feared then .
Roger and Cozy have different strengths. At this point in Bri’s music career, Cozy fit Bri’s style better. If Rog was better at this style, I’m sure he would’ve been there, Bri just made a judgement call on this one. But it would’ve been amazing if Rog joined The Brian May Band on stage, as Bri did that with The Cross
That's Chris Thompson. He was the singer on Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of Blinded By The Light and also "Thunderchild" from Jeff Wayne's "Musical Version of the War of the Worlds"
Freddie was gravely ill at this point I believe or he Might’ve did it with the band. Too add onto that stuff complications with his marriage and his dad. A pot of shit was going on and it messed with his head. Brian is a great singer even in this performance. Check out his earlier wembly 86 performances and stuff and you’d truly see brian in one of his peaks maybe his highest peak. No matter what Brian is always a huge inspiration to me and many others for singing and guitar as well as his work in astrophysics and much more. We love brian.
No soñé jamás con estar vivo para el día en el que nuestro gran amigo Faroukh desafinara como un carnero degollado, como en esta presentación. Escucharlo ¿cantar? así, es para obtener un problema otítico irreversible...
Faroukh? Quién es Faroukh? Pero si es Brian May, no es Freddie Mercury, si es que querías decir Farrokh...además, no solo no es un vocalista profesional, sino que además está en directo y tocando un instrumento a la vez.
The electrocuted poodle looks and sounds as good as ever - this MAY (pun) even be his best stint. My ears are glad since he is no longer making 'music'. Steve Vai, half asleep and gum-chewing at the back is one of the good parts of this so called songs ... Cozy and Rick are epic as always. Cash grabs have sounded better.
love steve vai in this haha, even tho this isn't what he would usually play he still looks like he's loving every moment of it
He's onstage with Brian May?!?! What's not to love!! 😂

you can find his live at brixton academy. He is god like there
The song was released on November 25th, 1991

First heard this on the queen live 3 cd. Loved it. Amazing solo and great voice I think.
I just happened on this song....lucky me.....what a treasure.....GREAT song! :)
God, I fucking love Brian May!
Nice to see Brian's accountant at 0:19 (third from left) on backing vocals.
Brian May, as always is the other half of the group queen, it's so obvious, he's just too modest, SUPER singing voice
Steve Vai a back seat on rhythm guitar!!!
Kinda nice to know, that even legends fuck up their own solos from time to time. So you don't judge yourself too much when you screw up playing sth

I think freddies death is the reason we dont see john anymore
@@SierenH it was he didn't feel it was right to continue with the band without Freddie.
His marriage was ending as well. I think, but not sure, he also lost his Dad about this time.
I’m not sure if you saw but in the bio you can see this is just before Freddie’s death
@@charkieee7866 Well, the main idea still applies, if not worse so. He knows Freddie's got little to no time left, and there's nothing he can do about it.
No sabia de esta cancion, simplemente es exelente😂😂😂😂
Wonder if Freddie ever did a vocal demo? Freddie supported Brian's solo work.
newc1531 I think freddie was too ill by that point I dunno about the other songs on the album
@@charkieee7866 Too Much Love Will Kill You
@@gsw1235 that song was recorded during the Mircale sessions but wasn't put on the album.
Wait Cozy is playing Zildjian Cymbals? thats a new thing.
Hey Peter you should upload Brian's performance of Back To The Light from Rio 92. Thanks!

It feels like my boy is really struggling here.
I thought it was honestly amazing. Its just his singing. Hes giving it all
Mentally he was.

Singing and playing at the same time without autotune and not being usually the front man is not easy .
Fantastica relacion del Acontecimiento 🥰😘
Clearly 1992 Expo 92....minute 3.04 you can see

😍😍
Never realised how hard this solo was until watching this.. can totally see why he hasn't played it live for over 25 years.
I really didn’t see his mistakes. I will listen again. No matter what Brian is still Brian, a legend.

why roger taylor was not i that show ?
Because Cozy is better
@@leonardo666jazz No, he isn't. And Roger wasn't there just because that was Brian May Band.

Steve should have played more at solo part
Definitely agree
This is sevilla 1992! 🤦🏻♂️
this is cool but doesn´t he shake to much is voice?
Freddie was gravely ill at this point I believe or he
