Amazing job on Rainbow 74

Nothing remotely close suggests he was about to pass out in that clip from my perspective.

So you can't take a trip without cocaine?
I've stacked it big time in the past, totally sober I might add.

I didn't mean that. After 30 mins of intensive training one (I for example) can feel tired and I think that is how Freddie felt during this part of the set. Thank God he could rest during Brian's solo before showing up again for Now I'm here.

I was only playing you up Old Fashioned Dandy.
Like you say, thank God he got a rest soon after... even if the fans had to endure another Brian May solo ;)

Like I said, it's easy to talk with hindsight...

Oh, I never said it was necessarily his illness, but I think there was a lot of pressure on him at that point... perhaps a considerable amount from himself to put the best possible show. We've seen modern pop stars take a tumble onstage or even throw up. Fergie from Black Eyed Peas peed herself for heaven's sake.
Black Eyed Pees haha

Actually it`s impossible to say what really happend in that moment....on the other hand there is a bootleg recording from the Magic Tour where he mentioned that he`s getting older and his energy level is getting lower during a show...

On the German TV- documentary that was aired a few months ago Peter Freestone said that Freddie felt different on 1986, more "irritable and tired".

^^^ Is that documentary anywhere avaliable with english subtitles?

In the radio documentary Mysterious Mr Mercury, Mary Austin talks about the '86 tour and says that Freddie knew by that point about the Aids and that the tour was a struggle for him. She talks about him giving her a look after the Knebworth show that let her know that that was going to be the end of touring for him.
I watched the 'moment' where he stumbles back again last night. He was nearly out on his feet. God knows how he found the strength to keep going, but the rest of his performance is faultless.

I think people are reading too much into this. There are so many reasons this could have happened. Maybe a simple loss in focus

True, but you could read too much into anything. A Queen forum is the perfect place to talk about this incident... minor or otherwise.

Can someone post a Youtube video with the exact time that happened? I´ve watched the video, and i can´t find anything of that nature.

Thanks for the help.

yeah, he picks up a piece of paper - then realises it's the bar bill for the after-show party. then collapses when he sees it's been pre-paid against his own credit card

I think it isn`t...it`s even locked on YT in my own country. And I can`t see someone doing this out of pure fandom....A translation of four hours with multiple scenes and storys.No way...

And yes it`s a bit of a shame that it isn`t available in english or with subtitles....simply because of Mack was at his best :)
