Freddie Mercury sings Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti in uncommon Queen stay footage

This week’s episode of Queen the Greatest Live continues a glance again on the band’s stay covers.

Last time round uncommon footage from the 1986 Magic Tour at Wembley Stadium unveiled Freddie Mercury and the gang performing Elvis Presley’s (You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care.

This was a part of a medley with Ricky Nelson’s Hello Mary Lou and Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti.

And now the footage of the latter has been launched for followers to get pleasure from within the video under.

Roger Taylor stated final week of Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti: “It’s kind of telling people this is why we love rock and roll, because these songs really influenced us. It’s nice to do those. It keeps our interest up and kind of broadens the show a bit.”

Meanwhile, Sir Brian May informed Total Guitar earlier this yr that Tutti Frutti was a becoming alternative for Queen as a band “who cut their teeth on the R&B trailblazer.”

The 76-year-old stated: “When I first heard Little Richard, it was a moment of shock, but there was also the joy of realising that people could actually sing that way – they could scream their emotions.”

A caption on the video reads: “Starting the track half-hidden in moody blue lighting, with Freddie supplying finger clicks and falsettos, it briefly appears the band have taken a mellow acoustic method. Then this cowl model explodes right into a rocket-fuelled rhythm and blues masterclass, with Roger laying down his tambourine for thunderous drum fills, whereas Brian slings the Red Special for a ferocious solo. Watch intently, too, for the second when Freddie mimes a golf swing along with his sawn-off mic stand.

“The 72,000-strong Wembley crowd’s response says all of it, with your complete stadium shouting again Tutti Frutti’s gobbledygook-genius payoff: ‘A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, a-lop-bam-boom…!’
