Queen - Love of My Life

August 30, 2009 - 5:14 pm 25 Comments

Queen
Love of My Life
Freddie Mercury

“Love of My Life” is one of Mercury’s most covered songs (there have been versions by many acts like Extreme featuring Brian May, Scorpions and Elaine Paige). Mercury played piano (including a classical solo) and did all of the vocals with startling multi-tracking precision. Brian May played harp (doing it chord by chord and pasting the takes to form the entire part), Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar (which he’d bought in Japan) and his usual Red Special.

“Love of My Life” was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience to take over. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and the band released the song as a single there. When Queen and Paul Rodgers performed the song (specifically Brian solo) he sang almost none of the words and let the audience sing it all, continuing the tradition.

Love of my life - you’ve hurt me
You’ve broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can’t you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know
What it means to me

Love of my life don’t leave me
You’ve taken my love, (all of my love) and now desert me
Love of my life can’t you see
(Please bring it back) bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don’t take it away from me (take it away from me)
Because you don’t know (ooh ooh ooh know means to me)
What it means to me

Who will remember
When this is blown over
And everything’s all by the way - (ooh yeah)
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you - (i still love you)

Ooh, back - hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don’t know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, ooh

Queen - Live At Wembley - Part 03 (03/14)

August 27, 2009 - 3:40 pm 25 Comments

12.07.1986, London (Wembley Stadium), England.

Probably the most famous Queen concert, they deliver an overall amazing show, playing their classic songs and they got a rowdy crowd on top of it all! The setlist was quite special (Queen played ‘Gimme Some Lovin’ or ‘Big Spender’ only scarcely) and there were even rumours about David Bowie’s appearance for ‘Under Pressure’ but that unfortunately didn’t happen.
Brian May said of the concert, “The Wembley concerts in 1986 were the pinnacle for us. We were at our height band-wise, and Freddie had developed this phenomenal way of dealing with stadium audiences. Being back home in London playing two sell-out nights was such a big, big occasion for us. None of us realized that this would be almost the last time we played together.” The band played only two more UK concert dates together.
