I was just wondering, if anyone would like to share some quotes of Freddie, or any other band member they have in some of the shows they have in their collection.
A couple I have include Freddie briefly getting booed at a show in Philadelphia in 82. I was lucky enough to have been there and also aquired a boot of this show some years back. Anyway, Freddie asked after the opener, "So how are you doing Filthydelphia?" It didn't go over well. ALso, Brian totally trashing the Horizon in Chicago, saying "In this age of acustic computer design, how they can design a place this bad I do not understand." That is from 9-18-80 in Chicago. Another one I have is from the Japan tours of 74-74 theres no year on the tape. It's titled Stunning. Anyway, after finishing Father to Son w/ the 3 part harmony a capella Freddie states, "Yes, we finally did that one together." referring to the timing and the intune voices. It is perfect. Thats all for now. I can't think of any others at the moment. I'd love to read a few more.

I love when Freddie's talking to the audience about his jewelry between songs, when he says, "These diamonds were a gift from the devil himself. What, you don't believe me?" And then he turns back to the band and says, "They don't believe me!"
My favourite is (from those I know which aren't many) from one of the Wembley shows, when Freddie pointed out that his skills on the guitar were rubbish (before CLTCL)
"I think everybody knows I can't play the fucking guitar, we all know that... difference being the guitar plays me, that would be more fun."
(or something like that)

Frankfurt ´82: I like it when Freddie announces some tracks of the "Hot Space"-album:
"You wanna hear it? You don´t wanna hear it? When you don´t wanna hear it .. Fuck it and go home!"
"You wanna hear it? You don´t wanna hear it? When you don´t wanna hear it .. Fuck it and go home!"
I can't remember just which show it was, but one bootleg in my collection features Freddie saying, in not so subtle a manner, that Brian has a really large c**k.... I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it, and still can't...I can only imagine Bri's reaction!
Or how about at Earl's Court, after '39, when Freddie says that he really enjoyed performing those acoustic numbers, so Brian was gonna have to go out and write more, because he can't... Little did he know that on the next tour, the new acoustic number would be one that he in fact wrote a few years earlier, Love of My Life....

have you ever learned how to use the English language properly?
you cannot put words in "quotes"
and then say "something to that extent, anyway"

I don't know, there are just so many of them, one that comes to mind is from the show in Stockholm 4-10-82, the song is "Save Me" and Freddie starts it normally, but Brian misses his cue.. so the whole thing was "It Started off so well...... It DIDN'T start off so Fucking Well.... " and then he says something after that but I can't see to understand it.. I had that as my Windows start up sound for years.
I always love his talking very very much!
My favorites are ones from "Earl's Court" as follows;
"I can do this all night, if you like" as he made one or two deep bows to the audience with a smile before he was starting out "Death On Two Legs"
"This is my champagne time. Cheers! I was gonna make a nice speech, but forget it. Cheers!"
I also love his banter about his diamonds on his fingers from "Rainbow" very much.
It was very fun when they took their last concert of '76 Japan tour on 4-4-76. The audience was sometimes so noisy that he said "Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen!" at last and then he said "Please Listen" in Japanese so clearly. Though it was not "banter"...

The Save Me folly was cool, but I like the 'tits and bums' intro to FBG.

It's CONK - nothing else!!! And he has a big conk. For everybody: the conk is the nose!
Interestingly enough a conk is also a chemical way to straighten curly hair... (according to my unabridged Webster's dictionary)
I don't know if he says conk or c**k (i think c**k) but this concert is the concert in Paris in 1980...
"...ladies and gentlemen and everybody else."
Anyway, Freddie asked after the opener, "So how are you doing Filthydelphia?" It didn't go over well.
Sad thing is, he wasn't too far from the truth.
