Thanks for the share! :) Could you also please post the raw file (pre-youtube) in the Announce section? I could try to improve it to make it look better. .

^ Damn.

How do you restore those natural colours to Deacons face? It doesn't look like there is much information for the software to gather from the footage itself - do you put it in by hand?
Some certain Avisynth scripts and colour correction :-)

Look more closely Oscar, it`s a complete restoration. The Wall for example has the same incorrect colours imo.

Arse.
Thank you very very much indeed!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this upload!
This is just wonderful, it is the best interview i´ve seen Freddie give on TV. Almost 40 minutes of pure honesty from the genius. There are lots of great things to point out from this interview, but i will let others discover it for themselves.

But i really feel that the minute 19min until 20min is one of the deepest things ever said about music by a composer:

"I never let a song down! The song comes first".

Absolute genius!
Thanks for this. I agree, it's one of his best interviews.

As a side note, the Japanese man's "mmmmm"s from 15:03-15:14 are quite funny.
Thanks. Very good interview indeed. it struck me though that he talks so much about message songs and how he can't write them, almost forgetting that just a year earlier he released one with Queen. "Is this the world..." was probably the closest he ever got to writing a message song.
Many thanks for all your comments and sorry for the late reply but I have someone very poorly in hospital at the moment. I agree it is one of Freddie's best interviews and he was very open. Hope to upload some more vids soon!

I hope that the person in the hospital recovers and that everything will be alright for that person and the family.

Thanks. That was great.
