Freddie Mercury felt Queen would ‘freak out’ over performing tune in early days

This week’s Queen the Greatest Live official YouTube collection continues a glance again at among the band’s most memorable covers throughout their concert events.

Most just lately they’ve shared uncommon footage of Freddie Mercury main the group in a medley at Wembley Stadium again in 1986.

This included Ricky Nelson’s Hello Mary Lou, Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti and Elvis Presley’s (You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care.

And now followers are handled to the frontman and the band performing Peggy Lee’s Big Spender, made successful by Shirley Bassey in 1967.

This week’s footage consists of Freddie singing the monitor at Queen’s 1975 Hammersmith Odeon live performance and at Wembley in 1986.

Freddie informed Hit Parader in 1977: “Sneaking my cabaret influences into our act was done slowly.

“Could you imagine me doing Big Spender when we were first starting? As a rock band?

“They’d freak. Now we do more a combination of rock ‘n’ roll and theatre.”

Next week’s episode appears again at “An Unforgettable Moment”, no matter that may very well be…
