The videos for Living on My Own includes footage from Freddie Mercury’s 39th birthday celebration in Munich on 5 September 1985 and by October 2020, the YouTube video had more than 35 million views. It also reached Number 1 in Ireland, France, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Norwa, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.
Such a good song in fact that it reached Number 1 in the charts in the UK in August 1993. Staying the 90s we also have the video for Living on my Own which was the 1993 Radio remix. We are then back to the Made in Heaven video for the Let me Live video which I always thought was a great song by Queen and the video is quite good too. After that we go back to the Hot Space album for Las Palabras De Amor (the words of Love) which has Freddie Dressed in a Tux – I believe that was their last performance on Top of the Pops (AFAIK). The next video on the GH Flix 3 is from the Made in Heaven album and that is Heaven for Everyone which was the first release from the 1995 album, doing quite well in the charts as a result. I remember seeing this video in the late 80s and Freddie did a great version of the classic Platters song. The Great Pretender is next, it includes Freddie dressed in a pink suit and Roger dressed in drag (if you can spot him). George did a great version of Somebody to Love and did it his own way too, not an impression or immitation of the original version. It is followed by a favourite of mine and that is Too Much Love will Kill you and then into Somebody to Love, the live version with George Michael from the Freddie Mercury concert. The 4th video on the Greatest Flix III package is Barcelona with Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe going hammer and tongs on that belter of a song. Next up we have Princes of the Universe, where Freddie swordfights with Christopher Lambert from the Highlander movie. By skipping that song you get to the good stuff – These are the Days of our Lives was the last video which Freddie took part in, a nice vide, and it included the words ‘I still love you’, an apparent last message from Freddie to Queen fans. The only good thing about that video was the mash up of Freddie and David Bowie singing live on stage. First off you can skip that version of Under Pressure because as far as I’m concerned it’s rubbish. There are some great videos on this DVD release. This is basically Queen’s Greatest Video Hits 3, a collection of the videos from the Greatest Hits III (or Queen+) album.
