Killing Father Time with You Tube

Today I was just spending some time watching youtube videos. I am still getting over the flu so I haven't been very active. I love to go on youtube and watch live performances, because there is almost nothing better than live music. So I just thought that I would share this video with you all because the first two minutes of Bohemian Rhapsody are two of the greatest minutes in rock and roll history. I honestly wish the first two and a half minutes were a completely seperate song from the rest of it. I enjoy the rest of it but the last half has made it a novelty song, and the first half is so painfully beautiful. Shame. I cannot believe the power of Freddie Mercury's voice live. His voice sounds spot on. You can watch the rest of the video as well but I don't care for the rest of it. My intention here is just to share the first two and a half minutes. According to Wikipedia, Queen's performance at Live Aid was voted as the greatest live rock and roll performance of all time....I can see why. Enjoy it!
