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.

Nicely done !

But where is this Deacon footage from? The video in this thread is a 40 minute interview with Freddie.

It's merely a random example of what could be done to improve this Freddie interview. With this I hoped it would encourage the uploader to share the raw file. The interview in the comparison is from DeeJay TV in 1985, however a much better copy has surfaced since then which you can find in the Announce section.

Fantastic interview! Not only does Freddie mention Ella Fitzgerald (my favourite female vocalist), also does he praise john Lennon... Wonderful stuff.
He's so honest in this interview. Love it how he mentions that the scatsinging in living on my own was to "showcase his vocal abilities". He knew very well he had incredible vocal talent. Freddie Mercury certainly had his weaknesses but that voice... Pure gold!

The vocal track from Somebody To Love is the ultimate showcase of his voice IMO. It has a fantastic blend of dynamics that he never matched in the 80's - soft singing, powerful and loud singing, and great falsetto bits.

The classic:

"Well there you are, you have it on tape. Use it.
Well that's the nearest I've come to a lot of passion in terms of interviews..."

Wich of his ...six, seven, eight... and so on, so-called last interview of Freddie ?
Are they numbered meanwhile ?

Could someone transcribe what the interviewers and Freddie say during that passionate moment?

Pretty sure he would have been writing 'Stop all the fighting' at this point too?
