Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is the top-selling song of all time. It was also the first single released from Queen’s then new album titled “A Night at the Opera”.
When it was released no one was sure if Radio Stations would ever play it, since it was a tad over 6 minutes long.
I was lucky to have seen Queen perform live. Memorable performance. That was the best concert that I have ever been to. I had shot that concert on slide film using a Nikon F2, with a legendary (and huge) 50-300mm f4 Nikkor zoom lens.
The BBC in Britain put together a great documentary about the making of Bohemian Rhapsody. It is full of interesting insights. The progrock70s YouTube channel has that BBC Documentary posted. YouTube permits embeding, so I thought that I would do so in this post.

Since the Wayne’s World take on Bohemian Rhapsody was mentioned in the BBC documentary, I decided to make that video easy to find.

SketchSHE performs “Bohemian Carsody”
After watching SketchSHE perform “Bohemian Carsody” (as in Queen‘s Bohemian Rhapsody) I am left with a smile a mile wide. This trio is super creative.

I love Queen’s Bhomenian Rhapsody and remember Freddie Mercury performing it (that was the best live concert that I have ever seen in my life). SketchSHE‘s mime of this Queen classic is hilarious.

Smooth Guitar Tapping by Mark Roskilly, as he covers the Freddie Mercury and Queen song titled Nevermore
Way back in 1974 Queen issued the album Queen 2, which was recorded on August 1973 at Trident Studios, London. On it was a ballad called “Nevermore”, which featured Freddie on piano.
In the video below Mark Roskilly covers Freddie’s song, but instead of playing it on a piano Mark uses the Guitar Tapping technique. He taps out the melody and bass parts on his guitar. Skillfully played by Mark and it sounds amazing.

The best concert that I have had the luck to be at, was a Queen concert with the late Freddie Mercury. It was simply awesome and remains a fond memory of what a really great concert can be.
The remaining members of Queen are touring again, but with Adam Lambert as the Lead Singer. This is an incredible opportunity to see and hear one of the very best Rock Bands ever. Seriously great musicians. Adam Lambert’s voice has the unique range that Freddie Mercury’s voice had.

Queen, Freddie Mercury. Bohemian Rhapsody and an incredible singer named Suzie McNeil.

One of the great songs of the era which we have shared, is Bohemian Rhapsody. It is permanently welded into my memory banks. Queen was arguably one of the best bands, if not the best. They sounded as good live as they did on studio produced albums. Not an easy task. There was also never any lip syncing at their live performances. Continue reading
