Do we know when the tracks for The Miracle were recorded?

In some of the out takes for I want it all its very clear that Freddie was ill at that point.[/QUOTE]

Is this on an official release somewhere? Can't recall seeing it.

Don't wanna sound obsessive enough to notice these things but I think he looks equally ill in all of the Miracle videos.

But to be honest, all four of the band members do. 80's rock video makeup could get downright excessive - I think Breakthru is the closest they come to looking like a healthy bunch of chaps, and that's probably because they were out in the sun.

The GH2 DVD had bits of the behind-the-scenes stuff for the Miracle videos.

1. I Want It All - 22nd April 89 (Elstree Studios)
2. Breakthru - June 89 (Nene Valley Railway, Cambridgeshire)
5. The Miracle - 23rd November 1989 (Elstree Studios)[/QUOTE]

I've seen both March 22 and April 22 for I Want It All. Not sure which it is.

Breakthru was shot on June 12 and 13.

And wasn't The Miracle was November 24 ? I've always found it kind of poetic that the video for his most optimistic song was filmed two years to the day before he died.

1. Very interesting thing you mentioned because I've seen March 22 and April 22 date too. I'll do some research soon. I want to know this stuff.

2. Huge thanks for the date of Breakthru video. I don't know where on earth did you find it!

3, Yes, until today I always thought that The Miracle was done on Nov 24 for some reason but Nov 23 seems the date which appears everywhere where I checked. But I'm unsure about it. More research required here.

I've got no real knowledge on this but I'd say IWIA was filmed in March instead of April. The single was released in 2nd of May so it would have been a tight squeeze to get the video ready by the time of the single release, if it had been filmed in April. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]

I was trying to think in the same way but Scandal was released on 9th October and The Miracle on 27th November, just a few days after the video shooting.

Good point.

That's a big exaggeration. They all looked well, apart from Freddie, of course. He looked fine in Breakthru. Brian looked his best at the time which continued until "Innuendo".

The great pretender doc has some out takes from the I want it all video.
