We'd like to introduce the next combo To our uhh
It's Queen Her Majesty, Queen! [Cheering, with occasional airhorns] [Drum kicks, guitar tuning] [Plays a twist on the Bohemian Rhapsody intro] [Plays Bohemian Rhapsody Intro]
[Loud Cheering] Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama
[Staccato] Life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama
Ooooooooooh Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters [Instrumental, cheering. It's quieter in the movie when it cuts to the family.] Too late, my time has come
Sent shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody
[Faster] I've got to go Got to leave you all behind and face the TRUTH Mama
Oooooooh I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all [Guitar riff, cheering] [Held note] [Intro to Radio Gaga, audience clapping to the beat louder in the movie] I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour Radio
Everybody All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you [Cheering, instrumental] We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual You've had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour Radioooo All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
[Clapping to the beat] All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loved you Loves you [Guitar riff] Ay-oh [crowd: ay-oh]

[Cheering] Hey hey hey hey hey
Hammer to fall! [Instrumental, phones ringing in movie] Movie: [phones ringing]
Both: Here we stand or here we fall History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
You don't waste no time at all Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all, yeah! And it's time for the hammer to fall [Instrumental, cheering] Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away Lift your face, the Western way, baby Tow your line and play their game
'Til the anesthetic covers it all 'Til one day they call your name, ah!
Then it's time for the hammer to fall [Instrumental, cheering] Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same
Movie: [Phones ringing] (Oh no, oh no) Oh no
Lock your door 'cause rain is pouring Movie: We've just hit a million! [Cheering]
Performance: Through your windowpane (Oh no)
Baby now your struggle's, all in vain, oh yeah! [Instrumental] You who be once tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard
Just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all Can't stop time to stay your prayers
Then it's time for the hammer to hammer to fall [Instrumental] Going to fall! [Instrumental] Hey hey! Hey hey!
Yeah, yeah one more time Waiting for the hammer to fall [Cheering] Give it to me one more time! [Cheering] [Guitar strumming] This next song is only dedicated to beautiful people, here tonight [Cheering] It means all of you, thank you for coming along and making this a great occasion [Guitar strumming] This thing, called love, I just, can't handle it
This thing, called love, I must, get round to it I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo) It jives (woo woo) It shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it Crazy little thing called love
There goes my baby She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy She gives me hot and cold fever
Then leaves me in a cool cool sweat I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love [Guitar riff] Crowd: Gotta be cool, relax, get hip
Crowd: And get on my tracks Crowd: Take a backseat, hitch-hike
Together: And take a long ride on my motorbike Until I'm ready (ready Freddie?)
Crazy little thing called love This thing, called love, I just, can't handle it
This thing, called love, I just, out of it baby I love it, crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love Hey! Crazy little thing called love
Take it Brian [Guitar riff] Crazy little thing called love
Yeah, yeah, crazy little thing called love Hey, crazy little thing called love, alright [Instrumental, cheering] [We Will Rock You Intro begins playing, cheering] Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday Mud on your face, big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place Sing it!
Crowd: We will, we will rock you Yeah, do it!
Crowd: We will, we will, rock you I like it, sing it again!
Together: We will, we will rock you One more time!
Together: We will, we will rock you [Guitar riff] [Cheering, intro to We Are the Champions plays] I've paid my dues, time after time
I've done my sentence, but committed no crime And bad mistakes, I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers [Movie: phone ringing] Cause we are the champions of the world I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I never lose We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end We are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions We are the champions my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end Oh, we are the champions, we are the champions
No time for losers cause we are the champions Of the world [Cheering, guitar riff] [Cheering] So long, goodbye! We love you!
[Cheering]
Man, Live Aid was incredible. And to think, someone had to follow that performance. I believe it was David Bowie.
Man it never ceases to amaze me the stage presence and charisma that Freddie had, one take for him, no editing, and he looks so comfortable and the entire crowd right there with him.
If BR had been an SNL sketch instead of a movie would Rami Malek have played it any different at all?
Does Rami chew the scenery like Freddy did?
This is a perfect example of why movies like Bohemian Rhapsody are unnecessary. There's something somewhat crass about it, actually.
We can listen to the real songs. We can watch the real footage. We can read about the real person. We don't need fake drama movies where so much effort is spent recreating footage that we can watch for real on youtube.
Ended up just watching the bottom half of the video. Rami's lip-syncing could not have been made more obvious and egregious, played alongside the original.
Real Queen have been playing together for 15 years before this concert. I know it is a movie but there really was no need to show other band members being in awe of freddies performance.. That Brian may actor is probably in awe at least 3x ...why would real brian may be? it was great performance but it certainly wasnt freddies best..
I still think they should have briefly started with the film portrayal of Live Aid and then morphed it into the actual performance.
After Sacha Baron Cohen accusations that Brian May wanted to make a film about queen instead of one about Freddie it is funny to see that the only one who looks like his real life counter part is the guy playing Brian May.
When it comes to the performance I just can't understand how Malek won an Oscar.
Every mannerism is totally different.
