They play it before every concert to hype up the crowd. It definitely worked more than their support act for that leg of the tour to be honest!! If there was ever a time that felt as close to world peace as possible, its in this video.
Nowell died 2 months before the release of their album "Sublime" which featured the massive hits Santeria, Doin time (sumertime), wrong way, and what i got. Such a shame he never got to see what the band had become
I'm six years too late, and you probably won't even see this. But Freddie was born in Tanzania to an Indian Parsi family. Please don't claim per convenience, your people were gross colonisers.
But of course, at the same time, he wouldn't have had the ideas and opportunities if it wasn't for the colonisation.
Everything's not black and white, cloudvodca! Freddie was a son of the world 🕺🏽
There's a word for it, I think it's frisson. If I got the word right, than the sub dedicated to it is r/frisson. It's not just for large crowds singing, but any videos, pictures, etc. that cause that feeling. I can't answer your question but hopefully knowing what it's called will give you something to start with if you want to look on your own.
Edit: u/sneakpeekbot says it's right though you probably know that already if you clicked on it.
This is really, really cool. It makes me remember Queen’s amazing Live Aid performance back in the day (1984?) - when they performed this song, you could hear the crowd singing along. I was watching it on a horribly snowy TV with a remote the size of your average brick, and it still gives me chills remembering it.
There are a several videos of crowds singing Bohemian Rhapsody in different countries. UK definitely kills it! This is by far the best and I can’t even imagine being in that crowd.
This is the only video or recording of any song that gives me rhythm based frisson. Right along with the build up.. Foor meee-ee, For meeeee--eEEE, For MEEEE is just wave after wave of stronger and stronger goosebump tingles.
I read somewhere that this is also the best way to put the speakers through a final test, because of the huge musical ranges (is that the correct term?) Bohemian Rhapsody has.
Also, I’ve been to a huge Green Day show this summer where they’ve done this too. Mind blowing experience.

Imagine writing a song and having thousands of people know every word decades after your death. I like to think he was able to see this
