Just watched the Days of Our Lives doco about Queen. Currently on my post-Queen watching come down.

Wasn't in the UK when I think it was shown on the beeb so only just got hold of it. Story is obvs the same, Live Aid gives me goosebumps, Freddie always dies at the end...but it was good to hear some not so party line stuff from R and B. think it's been a bit long for no one to speak ill of the group and some of the music (yes, Hot Space, you) so that was refreshingly candid.

All in all, I feel content yet wistful, I still detest Queen+Paul Rodgers and I must go to Montreux sometime.

That is all.

Surely, it's more

Yeah. That.

Even though while he was alive, I wasn't even aware of his existence. Queen did their last live concert before I was born. Both these things make me sad.

I bet you glubbed a bit when they played "Days of Our Lives" over the images of a dying Freddie near the end.

this old bloke has been hanging around with musicians for some time

by PeterCS Thu 26 Apr 2012, 15:26

He's 25 years dead!

Or is it Mel Brooks?

by PeterCS Thu 26 Apr 2012, 15:42

Buddy Rich is not bad, but he can't hold a candle to the masters .....

that song always reminds me of this:

juggling?

The Beatles only had four songs. They just jiggled a chord or two around and left the rest to George Martin.

by PeterCS Thu 26 Apr 2012, 16:16

Pity about the organ (as the actress said to the bishop).

Heathen!

I love how casually that chap is drumming. Give him more drums!

I've loved stuff like that ever since I saw Ray Cooper go crazy on Rollin and Tumblin on Clapton Unplugged. Sweet stuff.

That song usually doesn't make me cry. It's quite uplifting...mostly.

I can't listen to 'Mother Love' without crying though. The final verse where suddenly it's Brian singing, because Freddie was too ill to finish the song, which is heart-rending lyrically anyway. Ugh. Tears-a-plenty.

'I warned you!'

heh.

many variations on a traditional blues song from one of the acoustic blues masters:

Jill, see if you can listen through this without crying ...

by Yorkie Jill Fri 27 Apr 2012, 00:53

Jeez. Is he singing that at a wake? Bit too to brash, I'd describe it as, to upset me, but very bleak! Obviously upset his audience somewhat.

by lardbucket Fri 27 Apr 2012, 01:03

Them's the real blues ... what (minimalist) rhythm!

by Yorkie Jill Fri 27 Apr 2012, 01:20

oh yes! Nothing but a raw voice and an aching guitar.

I like Crossroad Blues by Robert Johnson. Makes me want to sit on a porch in the hot, dusty south, drinking cold ice tea and eating fried chicken. Or peach pie. So evocative.

Think I spoke to Danny about how Bruce is still awesome, so here's the song I'm talking about:

This is also pretty good I reckon:

by Yorkie Jill Mon 07 May 2012, 01:06

Is the whole album that good?

I'm on Fire is possibly the hottest song ever written.
