    Can you believe that?

    So here's my excuse to share the greatest 21 minute performance ever.

    It was that performance that brought a revival for Queen.
    I was on a school trip so both my mum and grandma recorded the entire wembley concert for me and my girlfriend to watch when we got back
    I hate when people tell you how long ago a certain event was.just shows how fast time goes.

    One of very very few singers that had the perfect voice IMO .
    His concert voice was very similar to his recording voice hardly any flaws .
    Many of my favourite bands and singers I’ve cringed at during live performances but Freddy could perfectly deliver time and time again ,
    What a singer what a performer and what a song writer still very much missed to this day his death was a tragedy especially to music .
    RIP Freddy you had so much more to offer and it was our loss .

    Watched the Queen and Adam Lambert, show must go on documentary. Roger and Brian admitted they would need 5-6 different singers to front the band just to cover the scope of Freddie’s musical talent had they just been looking to replace him.

    He was and also Noddy Holder , he could hold all the notes from his recordings and belt them out on stage in similar fashion .
    Not many can do that IMO.

    I’ll admit Freddie could sing but Queen’s output just doesn’t do it for me.
    Opinions eh !

    Famine in Tigray today famine 36 years ago. War started by the recipient of the Nobel peace prize. Something to be saddened by.

    An amazing show of talent. From 1st minute to last. Some better than others. ( mainly due to my music preferences.) But, not a bad un among em. One of the greatest days ever. Glued to the tele. Just wish I could have been there.

    I liked George Michael's voice. One of my friends was really into Queen back in primary school, used to always sing their songs in the playground!

    I was at Hyde Park in 1976, mainly because Steve Hillage was there along with one or two others I quite liked. When Queen came on I went home, couldn't stand them at all.
