The Brian May Band - Since You've Been Gone (Live At The Brixton Academy)

Музыка

It’s a live track from a concert by the Brian May Band, recorded at the Brixton Academy, London, on 15th June 1993. At the moment when we’re putting this up on this new channel, this video brings back powerful memories. Touring as a front man, following Freddie’s passing, I was in complete denial of Queen, and regarded my new band as my future. I was blessed with the massive support of the late great Cozy Powell on drums. Here we see Cozy in fabulous form. Of course, when Ritchie Blackmore’s band, Rainbow, recorded the monumental version of this song that charted in 1979, Cozy had been the drummer, and for me, covering this track live was a kind of homage to Cozy. The vocal is almost impossibly rangey, and I made it a personal crusade to work on my voice, extending my range so I could sing it. The band was a dream outfit for me … with already legendary heavy rock stalwart Neil Murray on bass, who had worked with Cozy (and my friend Tony Iommi) in one of the incarnations of Black Sabbath, long-time Queen collaborator Spike Edney on keys, newly recruited Jamie Moses on guitar, who remains a great friend to this day, and two stunning backing vocalists, Catherine Porter and Shelley Preston. It actually gives me a chill up the spine to see this outfit in full flight, as clear and bright as if ‘twere yesterday. Bri

About my new KZread channel:
The official BRIAN MAY CHANNEL is designed to carry anything on film or video that relates to me [Brian May] outside Queen - to replace all the bits and pieces of music video that are currently around out there with new highest quality versions, and fill in the gaps; and to cover under one umbrella the other areas that I operate in … Stereoscopy, Astronomy, and my animal welfare work through my charity the Save Me Trust. Each of these areas will have their own playlist on the Brian May channel. But the intended pivot of it all is the entirely new part that we’re calling Brian Talks. This section will carry current ‘to the camera’ comments, updates and communications, and I’m hoping it will be a proper ‘voice’ for me, an outlet, as well as a way of glueing together the rest of the channel.

    Considering the shows Queen has played since Fred was dead, (Tribute w/Daltrey and Plant et al and tours with Paul Rodgers and solo Brian May band here) it is VERY apparent that Fred was a VERY overrated front man/singer all along and it was 100% BECAUSE he was a flagrantly flamboyant gay that was played to the hilt for publicity. Similar to D. Bowie and E. John.

I mean that's like saying John Deacon was holding Queen back cuz he couldn't really sing well and wasn't super animated. The assessment is accurate but the conclusion is wack.

    My grandmother bought me this concert on VHS back in 1999. I'd just started noodling on the guitar at aged 9. Tonight I googled this, as I'm sat with my Gibson SG, jamming to Queen. Always loved Brian's album Back to the Light. Still have the original CD from 1992. Massively impressive vocals. Absolutely complimented Freddie. Guitar work is out of this world. Melodic solos and killer riffs. So underrated.
