My favorite part of last night's Pops concert (and granted, I didn't watch all of it) was their debut of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
How can you not love the Pops headbanging?! (Starting at 3:27 in this video.) I wish Freddie Mercury could have seen it.
I think the in-the-crowd perspective shows, better than the TV broadcast did, how the crowd was singing along, though last night I did like seeing the closeups of the electric guitar player, who is a little obscured in this version.
If you need a refresher on the Queen version:
Or, for that matter, the headbanging from the Wayne's World version (banging starts at 1:10):
And if you didn't get enough of The Stars and Stripes Forever this weekend, there's a flash mob in the supermarket version now, too.
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Boston Pops! My two favorite versions of Bohemian Rhapsody (other than, of course, Queen) are Mnozil Brass:
