What's the footage at 2:00 - 2:06 (Freddie on the piano)?

It was discussed on this forum already - It's from the Brussels 84' gig, possibly Somebody To Love. I've asked Rhys about this specific moment (He compiled this video) but he didn't give straight answer as to whether whole gig was recorded.

What do you guys think of the song, now that it's been available for about a year?

Can't be. Looks like circa 1977 Freddie.

Correct, that's 1977. Brussels is there too, but at different times. The bit MercurialFreddie mentioned is actually in the extended version.

Silly me, I immediately thought that you were asking about the Brussels 84' bit which is present here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCbxTTW_B0A from 5:50 till 6:00. Sorry everyone !!

ITSM - I love this track and go out of my way to play it on a regular basis. The vocal just makes me grin from ear to ear and gives me goosebumps. I wish it had been promoted as a single

Yes, the promotion wasn't good but the track reminded the music industry that back in the day it was all about the sheer unquestionable talent and a very distinctive voice and not over-production.
For me, this track was like a lost gem... hearing really new, previously unreleased Queen track was terrific! When I've first heard it on Chris Evans show it was very moving, you just could even tell hearing Chris's reaction to it that this track kicks ass!
Maybe back in the day they would release it as a B side but according to today's standards and generally the state of what's being played currently on the radio.... let's just say that this track showed Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande et al their place :)
The general audience's and Queen fans' reaction to this track should motivate Brian and Roger to spend more time in a studio and finish other nearly finished demos and release them. Who amongst us would call Let Me In Your Heart Again a result of barrel-scrapping work ?

Don't like the opening bars of the song, ironically preferred orbit's remix ! Good song, sbould've been promoted a whole lot better ! Video made and played simultaneously round the world ! As the Beatles did with their new stuff.

I too was amazed when I heard this track for the first time on the Chris Evans Show. It is never a 'B' side it is a beautiful, emotive, melodic, piece of work by the band. I could also hear how overwhelmed Brian was and how proud when he interjected with yeah that's my mix! Far superior to Love Kills which was worked from the Freddie solo single. Thank you Brian, Roger, and John. Please if possible give the public more the world needs more Queen product.

Fantastic song. A lost gem from the same harvest as Hammer to Fall. Brian warned us we would cry and indeed that was what happened.
I also like the Orbit version. Some of the added harmonies are fab. I always wondered if they were purely synths or made from real parts.
Cheers,

It's a good track! Not perfect but very good! Vocals are sublime most of the song! Great guitar work! Queen tune!

The only redeeming parts of the Orbit mix are the pulsing synth beat over the beginning (giving it a modern feel), and the acapella start to the second verse which really highlights Freddie's vocals. The rest of his mix is just poor beyond belief from both a technical and musical point of view.
