when Queen Played This Gig Why Did They Mime Thats Not Like Queen
Paddy Can You Hear Me Now Phoenix Nights Series 1
I Don't Know Why But If You Read The Greatest Video Hits 2 Booklet That May Tell You.
Yes they did. I think it was not possible for them to play live because of organisatory reasons. It would not have been possible to set up live equipment (soundcheck etc.)
I agree that it's not like them and I would have liked it better live.Still I'm glad they included it on Greatest Video Hits II, so we can at least see it.
Feed the Phoenix :)
84 or 86 take your pick...

Both were probably the most embarrassing TV footage I have ever seen of Queen.

To say their heart wasn't in it is an understatement
They perform 2 times in that festival. In that festival don't provide elements for a live performance never. Queen always hate that. That's the reason Freddie play with the microphone.

Sorry for may english;)
amarina THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
the cross didn't mime at the montreux festival in 1988
we've no ancestral halls, no haughty portraits on our walls, no family monuments at all, unless it's my cousin sheila's stupendous clevage.
I think it's quite funny actually. It makes a change seeing Freddie "singing" with the microphone behind his back! And in '84, he uses it as a hoover for IWTBF...
I believe that (at the time, at least) you had to mime at Montreux. I think I read something that said that Freddie purposley mied out of time or didn't put the micropohone to his mouth to piss off the people who ran the show because he was unhappy about miming.
THE SHEEP PEN - FUCK YEH! GOING TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY YEH! THE SHEEP PEN - FUCK YEH! DWELLING ON THE PAST AIN'T THE WAY YEH! RODGERS HATERS, YOUR GAME IS THROUGH CAUSE NOW YOU'LL HAVE TO
