Fantastic post by Gregsynth!
It gives a great overview of his different live periods.
I personally enjoy all performances, good and bad. Always something surprising to hear and of course a musicality and timbre to kill for!
Great thread! I found terms to describe my favorite Freddie live voice - Magic Tour. "Power shouting" and "barking" might be negative descriptions, but God did he sound powerful and unstoppable in 1986 and his huge voice filled the huge venues.
No one quite like Freddie for filling stadiums and arenas with his powerful amazing voice, loved him to bits, the master.
No one comes close to his amazing vocal technique.

For such a hard working vocalist as Freddie it was imperative that his voice would suffer. . . . .[/QUOTE]
Are you saying that his voice had to be strained or knackered for him to sing properly?
No i am saying his voice did suffer due to gruelling tours and been on stage every night for two hours took its toll, and when he began to smoke the voice got huskier. Go back to Queen2 March of the black queen, he had gorgeous falsetto piece's in that song that were pure and clear, later on in his career he hardly used falsetto as smoking had stopped him using his voice like he did in 1974 & 1975.

First of all, he only started smoking in 1980 so it had nothing to with the way he was singing in 1975. Secondly, he used falsetto on pretty much every gig during the last two tours and had no problems with it.
If you cared to red Gregsynth post on here he states Freddie used falsetto less and less as the years went by. The smoking did affect Freddie's vocal range a great deal. He was though still an amazing vocalist unbeaten by anyone.
Freddie's falsetto was pretty good on the 85-86 improvs.
Yes Freddie's falsetto was still great 85 & 86 but just listen back to 1981 "Soul Brother" it was outstanding, Many people over look what a brilliant range he had .

Yes I read it. How did smoking affect his singing from 1975 to 1979 as he didn't smoke during that time? And how exactly smoking affected his falsetto vocal range during the 1984-1986 tours as he hit many of his highest live notes ever during that period?
Can you actually read thicko? i said Freddies voice was brilliant in 1974 /1975 then by the 1980s his excessive smoking made his voice a little deeper and huskier,
read gregsynths post and learn
"later on in his career he hardly used falsetto as smoking had stopped him using his voice like he did in 1974 & 1975."
You said he hardly used his falsetto as smoking had affected his voice. Now who's the thicko?
Can you actually read what i am saying?
i am not going repeat myself, because your just taking the piss.
jog on.
It's like trying to interact with an autistic child, just as hopeless. Good luck to you, you're going to need it. :)
An autistic child has more sense than a thick fuck wit like you
