The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert
It was fifteen years ago today that some of rock's biggest stars joined together to pay tribute to Freddie. I'm sorry there aren't more pictures, and that they're not better quality, but I've been quite stressed/busy with school/exams. Maybe sometime soon I'll do a proper picspam, with dvd caps.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy what I do have, and take a moment to remember the great show, honoring the great singer, performer, man.
This is taken from the copy of "The Sanfransisco Examiner" that covered the FMTC. Its caption is as follows: John Deacon, left, Roger Taylor and Brian May, the three remainging members of Queen, sing at the charity concert to celebrate their late partner, Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS.
I love this picture. It's nice to see them smiling and having a good time with an old friend during rehersals.
I love this moment in the show. Robert just likes to rub his butt against guitarists, I think. :) (And dude, what is up with that shirt?!)
This part always makes me choke up a bit. You can just see the pain in Brian's eyes, and hear it in his voice. What a beautiful song, a beautiful moment, and a beautiful tribute. ♥
One of John's happier moments from the show.
Brian and Slash; obviously amazing.
Roger, George Michael, and Brian playing '39. His performance was the best, in my opinion. His vocals were right on. His speech before he sings "Somebody To Love" is particularly touching. Freddie would have been proud.
I really hate Axl's shirt from this part of the show. :\ And man. Freddie could pull off the tiny white shorts, but Axl? Hmm.
Again, not so sure about those shorts, dude.
LIZA!!, Roger Daltrey, and of course, Roger Taylor. Again, I love to see them all so happy, and having fun.
I've uploaded the audio of the show for you, if you're interested/able to downalod. It's split up into three "discs." Enjoy!
Disc 1
Disc 2
Disc 3
