Not only the intro, but the whole piano line from "Don't Stop Me Now" is incredible. I wish I knew how to play piano just so I could play that whenever I wanted. That and the three opening chords from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".

Roger that, FriedChicken.

Ha ha, get it? *cue rimshot* LOL, get it? Rimshot? Roger plays the...

Yeah, anyway, I can't believe I forgot about the intro to Love Of My Life, since I can actually play it. The whole two hands. The thing is, I can only play up to the first "break," which is like 7 seconds in.

Don't Stop Me Now is amazing piano work.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

I've always really liked the opening to Too Much Love Will Kill You myself.

My Top 5 Piano Favourites to play are ...

1) Don't Stop me Now
2) Too Much Love will Kill You (Brians version)
3) Love of My Life
4) My Melancholy Blues
5) Death on Two Legs

My Top 5 Keyboard Favourites to play are ...

1) One Vision
2) Show must go on
3) I Want to break free (intro)
4) Who Wants to live forever (intro)
5) Play the game (Strings bit)

Needless to say, these intros are just my favourites, but I spent a lot of time learning them and they are my 'finger warmers' before a gig.

I once played "Don't Stop me Now" on a full-size mobile upright piano (some busker allowed me to), while in the middle of a road ... played for about a minute before I had to move (luckily road wan't too busy). Unusual experience to say the least.

I can't wait for the Seaside footage on the ANATO 30-years edition:P

I think DOTL and DSMN have very nice piano intros. Just listen to a live version of DSMN with that instrumental intro (not the Live Killers one btw).
