I doubt we will ever have another lead singer as great as Freddie Mercury, the ultimate entertainer. Probably one of the greatest live performances was Queens 20 minutes at Live Aid back in 1985.

So share your favorite Queen video here so we can remember the life and times of the great Freddie Mercury

1. These Are The Days Of Our Lives

He passed shortly after completing this video. To be on the edge of death and still be able to sing like that- he must be singing with the angels now.

14. That is a beatiful song.

I don't think I had ever heard it. So sad to thing how poignant the lyrics must have been to him at the time.

Thanks for the post.

2. Another One Bites the Dust

Snowball says it's got a good beat and you can dance to it:

29. I was only familiar with the Wayne's World version

4. Ahhhhhhhhh won't you take me home tonight

Ahhhhhh down beside that red bright light
Ahhhhhhh won't you let it all hang out
Fat bottom girls you make the rockin' world go round!

[KamaAina]

17. Another mondegreen!

I always heard it as "that red firelight"!

5. Killer Queen

24. Yeah, I Think That Would Be Mine

Lots of wonderful elements to that one from the bouncy piano, to the playful lyrics, to the thick rich guitar riffs. That's a good pick

[closeupready]

25. An intelligent person's pop music,

kind of like Pet Shop Boys - lyrics they write so that listeners think about them, as opposed to Katy Perry squirting fake breast milk or Nicki Minaj squatting and twerking on-camera, lol.

Cheers.

26. I Think My 2nd Would Be. . .

. . ."Keep Yourself Alive" or "Brighton Rock". Something about those two tunes really flip my whistle.

6. I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now!!!

[Iggo]

7. This one.

Something squeaky happens to his voice when he goes "Sammy Boy, don't you know who you are?"

Gave me goosebumps then, and gives me goosebumps forty years later.

8. Queen - I Want To Break Free

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. Love the drag show part.

They were making fun of a popular British soap opera called Coronation Street, and the Americans got really mad at them because they thought they were gay. The Americans didn't realize that was just part of British humor. I knew it because I watched Monty Python. Roger had on a blonde wig, eyeliner and a short cheerleader-type skirt, and was prettier than most girls.

9. With an assist...

10. Deep In The Lap Of The Gods

I like their earlier stuff...it still sounds great today!

11. Barcelona

When a pop singer can hold his own with an opera singer, well nuff said! The intro to this is great but if you want to skip to where Freddie comes in to sing, go to 1:55.

13. I forget about this one. Thank you!

[gvstn]

12. I love the Live Aid performance to watch him work the crowd.

The way he transitions from the snippet of Bohemian Rhapsody to Radio Gaga is great.

Queen had so many great songs, that were all so different that I just can't pick one but this concert is what I have on my table for play while making dinner.

[gvstn]

15. His cover of the Great Pretender was also fun.

Sorry, when I start to think about his discography/videos I can't help but gush.

Beautiful voice and such a showman. And didn't go by any formulas in his songs. He could do anything and his force always stole the show.

I miss him. Can't believe it's been 24 years and his voice and songs still get to me every time.

Thanks for the post but it is costing me quite a few tissues.

[BarbaRosa]

16. These Are The Days... is my fav but it's been mentioned

so I'll offer up this one

or this one

[KamaAina]

18. Freddie ruled as Queen!

21. I have several favorites but here....one they never did live.

From the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert, Roger Daltrey sings "I Want It All", with Tony Iommi on guitar helping out Brian. There used to be a better quality version of this up on YouTube that had an intro with Brian introducing Tony Iommi and together they played a bit of Heaven and Hell. And then Roger Taylor introduces Roger Daltrey and they play a bit of Pinball Wizard before Roger sings. Roger Daltrey rules. Still. At the age of 72.

Brian May is God. That is all.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. I like these:

Breakthru:

Scandal--kind of like "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley, criticizing the shallow media:

The Miracle:

[LynneSin]

23. A few more. You can tell I'm an old-school Queen fan

You will be singing this one before it's done!

Brian May actually sang this song on the album but here's Freddie singing it.

One of my other favorites from the Jazz albums, which to me was the last great Queen album. My second favorite song behind 'Fat Bottom Girls'

One of their most rocking songs!

One of their first very great songs from the first album!!

[we can do it]

27. The March of The Black Queen

[DinahMoeHum]

28. "Radio Ga Ga" - live at Wembley Stadium 1986. . .

[jakeXT]

30. So "Fat Bottom Girls" has some lyrics in reference to Bicycle Race ... here is one NSFW video

"Fat Bottomed Girls" was released as a double A-side with the song "Bicycle Race", and includes the line "Get on your bikes and ride 'em".[14] "Bicycle Race" contains the lyrics "Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today/So look out for those beauties, oh yeah",[15] completing a double cross-reference between the two songs.
