Another share for all you beatiful people ;) 2 rare videos for the song "The great pretender":
- Fm live @ Gegen Willy Show 1987
- Night And The City movie version
Video remastered + original studio soundtrack, enjoy it ;)

I´ve never heard about the "Night and the City" version of the Great Pretender, so this is really appreciated.

And thanks for the Gegen Willy Show appearance by Freddie. I wonder if it will ever be included in future releases since i think this is a great performance by Freddie, even though he was miming.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful stuff.

Just wanna say 'Thank you' for all your uploads,the 'Night and the City' version of 'GP' is stunning,was it ever released officially?

You're welcome :)
It was never released officialy, only promo

Thank you so much for this upload and remaster!

Too for the upload of TME and the Innuendo EPK!

it's "4 gegen Willy" -> "4 against Willy". while 4 was the amount of candidates in this very TV show and Willy was a hamster.

Thank you very much!

Another new torrent all for you ;) http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1378240/announce-rare-videos-from-raffys-personal-vhs-archive-dvd-torrent.aspx?anchor=0

Nice share. Thanks
Actuallly "the night and the city" audio of the great pretender was released in 2006 on the freddie mercury lover of life singer of songs. It was on the 2nd disc.
That was the first time i ever listened to it.
Very nice version by the way

There are different versions of the song, audio wise !?

Hi, "Night And The City" video contains the audio from Brian Malouf Mix, Gegen Willy is the original 1987 Uk single version.

So it's a different mix, not just a difference in length?

For the movie "Night And The City" it was used:
"The Great Pretender" - Original version from Irwin Winkler's film 'Night And The City' • Published by Panther Music Corp. / Southern Music Publishing (ASCAP) 1992 - Original sound recording owned by Mercury Songs Ltd. (look here -> http://www.discogs.com/Freddie-Mercury-The-Great-Pretender/release/1984276). This remix was especially done for the 1992 US compilation "The Great Pretender" (Label:Hollywood Records – HR-61402-2). Instead @ Gegen's Willy Show Freddie's was singing in playback to the original 1987 cover version of the song released the same year as a single.

Ohhh, that one. Ah yes, that takes me back.

Thanks for clarifying !
