Alfie Boe:- Freddie Mercury Saved My Life Documentary

I have to say after just watch this documentary that I has highly please to see something new.

The Footage of 17 year old Freddie at College was great.

Also loved Brian's Acoustic Riffs for "Keep Your Self Alive" & "Stone Cold Crazy"

I wonder if there's a demo for the original arrangement of "Stone Cold Crazy" I thought it sounded interesting.

Is there a way to watch it? I live in Grecce so itv is not accesible. (Or i am doing something wrong...)

So now we know what Stone Cold Crazy sounded like originally. Nice.

Pleasantly surprised how good this documentary is. Usually music documenaties shown on ITV are rubbish.

Use this  http://www.expatshield.com/  it's free and it will give you a British I.P so u can watch ITV & BBC etc online. Just turn it off after you use it to return to your default internet settings. If you have hotspot shield you will need to uninstall that first or else expatsheld wont work.

I missed it though. It must be one awesome documentary. Maybe even better than the great pretender. Lots of footage of young Freddie.

Thanks. I installed it but still wants my postcode to confirm. Is there a specific postcode that should i type?

Probably the best new documentary on Freddie in recent times. I actually enjoyed it more than the Great Pretender one, as it seemed to reflect and capture his greatness in a far more personal and intimate way than the other recent doc. plus it left you satisfied and not over dosed by the same old footage and quotes. it managed to truly make a showcase of Live Aid for once in the right way, by having the Bob Geldof in sole focus and allowing him just the right amount of time to talk about how great a performance he and Queen gave.
Plus I was very pleased to see that Montserrat looks so well and doesn't she look young!
I could see some of Freddie's personality in his mother also who also looks well and what a lovely pair of blue fur trees his sister has, gorgeous trees and house.

I just finished watching it. Its great. Highly recomended for various reasons.
For anyone like me who cant have access to ITV there is a torrent already uploaded with decent quality.

Here too.

So are these the guys who sold off the footage and kept the originals ?

Extraordinary.

Excellent documentary, it does underline that there must be a lot of unseen footage still out there ! I maintain the Torpedo Twins must have a lot.

Great. Perhaps this is the only documentary, where so few was told about his non-traditional sexual orientation. focused more on his musical basis. it is wonderful to see rare previously unseen footage of young Freddie.

and on youtube...

Yes, showcases his talent musicianship as should be so. The creative GENIOUS of his own artistic invention , and his stage exploits are enough sexual energy to convey him as the great star.
It's better than being a constant homosexual promo which he did not want anyway. His private bedroom was private, and being gay is not a talent nor is it the making of a star.
There is only one Freddie Mercury after all.
How refreshing! Who would have thought it?
I resent totally this gay thing, using him as a piggyback purely for a empty label of sex preference.
Always was bullshit that.
