Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Live at Rock Montreal, 1981) [HD]

Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1971, and one of the most commercially successful musical acts of all time. The group originally consisted of Freddie Mercury, (lead vocals), Brian May (lead guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's initial works were chiefly glam rock, heavy metal and progressive rock orientated, however with time the band incorporated diverse and innovative styles in their music, exploring the likes of vaudeville, electronic music and funk. The band digressed from using progressive themes in their music in the mid-1970s, with more conventional and radio-friendly works bringing them greater success. Throughout the 1970s, Queen disclosed the absence of synthesisers on their albums, yet their style continued to evolve. They eventually started using synthesisers in the 1980s, reflecting their experimental approach to music.

Queen Rock Montreal is a live album by English band Queen. It was released in 2007 as a double CD / triple vinyl on 28 October in Australia, 29 October in Europe, and 30 October in the US.

It was recorded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Montreal Forum on 24 November and 25 November 1981, ten years to the date before lead singer Freddie Mercury died of complications related to AIDS.

This marks the first official release of the film soundtrack to the concert film We Will Rock You on an audio-only format.

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is a song performed by the English rock band Queen, written by singer Freddie Mercury. While it peaked at number two in the UK, it hit number one on the U.S. charts on February 23, 1980, remaining there for four consecutive weeks. It topped the charts in Australia for six weeks.

[TheHorreour]

man when i try to study, i always find myself in a queen marathon. why, why, WHYYYY?

[MyDiabolicoTwin]

Freddie often complained on his guitar skills, but damn, how nice is to see him on the stage with it, not to mention his charm was enough to compensate any skill.

[aslnazday]

Roger Taylor screaming “ready freddie” might be the best thing ever

[americanpancakelive]

Better live than the studio version. So incredible.

[michellemonroe]

Only Queen can make a song sound better live in concert, that it does in the music video. Gosh I love love them so much😍

[trovey]

One of my regrets: not seeing Queen live when it was still possible.

Montreal
Live Aid
Wembley

In this order these are the top 3 Queen concerts (personal opinion of course). During Montreal things were just pure perfection.

The best version of this awesome kick ass song. I love the part where Freddie, Dr. May, and Deacy are jamming in the middle and all three are visible in the frame, just fucken awesome

[magneto]

I love that shot of John, Freddie, and Brian lined up together playing at 2:48. I saw Queen in 1978, best concert I've ever seen!

[ellenryan]

I watch this because Freddie could sing and sing he does. Never realized that I would like Queen the way that I do. I appreciate Freddie and his impact on music. This guy does not get enough credit.

This is very good video quality for 1981.

[andrewmcilveen]

2:50 awesome shot of all of them with guitars. XD

This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This (This Thing) called love
(Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo)
It jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

*Hey Brian how many guitars


Brian: YES.

Just saw the IMAX version and realized Brian plays three different guitars on this version. A 12 string, a black Strat and finally, the Red Special.
