So they just posted a new preview of the upcoming movie. One thing that could my attention was the live performance part, and if you listen closely, the lead vocals used for the rock section comes from the first night of Earl's Court 1977. Apart from the instrumental tracks, part of it sounds studio, and live.
Tearing apart this soundtrack might be very interesting...

putting this fact aside for a moment...
... i think it's quite amusing that the actor looks like mick jagger but playing freddie mercury.

why not including this Earls Court version of Bohemian Rhapsody in the OST? Right, it's QP we are talking about...

Certainly not from the 1st Earls Court gig, as some parts of the vocals don't match up (Freddie sounds pretty tired on the 6/6/1977 version, but he sounds full of energy on this newer clip). My guess is that they used the audio from the 2nd night, since that's the only other gig I can see them using for the film.

The main thing which I noticed from this preview, is that Freddie Mercury looks more like Mick Jagger in the movie ))

Agree....that is the first clip I’ve seen that has him looking like Mick Jagger....no one would ever think Freddie looked like Jagger.... lol will attract some people to the movie thinking Jagger was involved with Queen...the other 3 are still quite convincing though

Looks like a comedy movie to me - like they are mocking the "Galileos" - I think the movie will be a mess

^I don't think they recorded the whole opera section with a straight face back then, surely they had fun in the process.

maybe but this looks like a parody of the song and it sucks.

Other than the first line (which is taken from another show), it is indeed 6-6-77.

I personally think that the second of the rock section sounds like Hyde Park, but the beginning doesn’t....must be sliced together?

What about the fact that Freddie is telling Roger to sing ‘higher’? The melody is set in place - to sing higher would be to sing sharp. Seems like the writers are a bit lacking in grasp of music.

Exactly. I was expecting him going up a full octave, but he was singing the same notes all over again. But hey, they said their attention to detail was thorough so the scene has to be correct. :D
