Queen clip of the week – there are two clips this week!


First one – here is Freddie Mercury working the crowd at the famous Wembley gig.  Hopefully we will do some of this at the end of ‘We are the Champions’ before Robbie’s long note.  What do you think?



Second one – One Vision.  It is really interesting to hear how the song has been adapted for the stage show.  I love the energy of the performance – even in the recording studio Freddie was leaping around.  Off-stage vocalists – you need to think how you can inject the same energy into your vocal performance when you are not visible.  After seeing this I may need to put back in the breakdown section and let it be a drum feature section – what do you think?
