Greg if you read this , I know you've studied Freddie's vocal range. In which song does he cover the most distance from lows to highs?


Oooooh...

On vocal range alone, I would probably say Somebody To Love. Freddie sings Ab2 to Ab5 on the studio version.

I'd say All God's People. He hits some great lows in the choirs, and gets up to a high D in chest voice.


He also sings a head-voiced F5!

Was that head-voiced? I thought it was mixed?.. Still connected to the chest.

I don't know anything about the actual notes or ranges, but in my opinion, Freddie's best ever vocal performance was recorded in 'Teo Torriatte'.

This is best heard on the Japanese HD mix.

His vocals sound glorious.

cheers Greg , oh and Greg I think I read before you mentioned The Hero and apparently Freddie sang it live in the original key one time before dropping it. What was the gig and is there a boot available?

Hot space has aged remarkably, like a good wine, it's a joy to listen to and a credible alternative to their Rockier albums.
yeah along with The Game Sheer Heart Attack, Jazz and The Works it's among my most listened to Queen albums

It's Essen 1980! The performance starts at 1:00.

All I can say is that The Real Wizard loves this version, and Roger's "The Hero" on this performance!

I mentioned it !!
I think the"hot space" nay-Sayers, should perhaps go back to, and re-assess the album and see if it really was ahead of it's time.
I mean this pertinently .

A lot of people have an issue with the production on Hot Space but I've always thought Mack was extremely talented and for me it definitely stands up. It entertains me from start to finish. The vocals on Body Language, Staying Power, Back Chat and Cool Cat are first rate IMO
