Freddie appeared with Elton on Elton's show once; Freddie, Elton and Rod were planning to make a band (it was a joke, but...)... So............... |

It has always surprised me that nothing has surfaced that the two of them did, being such good friends you would have thought something would have happened, I know Roger and John worked with him a few times but it's strange Freddie didn't. |

Elton + Freddie would be an everlasting clash of egos. |

3 songs were filmed that Freddie did live on stage together with sir Elton John. It was on the 40th birhday of Elton, in Manchester, on November 19th, 1982, and they sang 3 songs: 1) "whole lotta shakin' goin' on" 2) "she saw me standing there" 3) "twist ad shout". This show was completely filmed by the crew of Elton, and a short piece is in one of the queen-documentaries...i can't recall wich one, i thought magic years video...but they didn't go into a studio to record together. I really hope that Greg can get his hands on this video-recording, but i believe that Elton will not give it away, and keeps it as one of his favorite memory-souvenirs...what a pitty for us It was a real fab party that night. Freddie was awesome, and he really blew Elton off the stage... the same way he did with the other "sir" (Cliff Richard) in the Dominion at the "give time for aids" charity performance of the "Time"musical April 14th 1988. (he did 3 songs then aswell...) That performance was an event in its own right...Freddie singing: "it's in everyone of us"...we had no idea then, that this show was going to be his last ever live performance for an audience...it makes the recordings even more bizar...and makes me wonder why on earth those recordings didn't make it to be part of the solo collection...like the Michael Jackson songs..and the Time-rehearsals...and sooo much more that should have been on that....the logan place recordings...demos like "YATOO"...i really believe there's more than plenty of stuff out there to produce another set with Freddie's voice...lets hope it will be put on the anthology box-set in 2009....if we still live...we might be able to enjoy it then...or in a box set to celebrate his 65th birthday...??? |

And by the way, man, Elton's 40th birthday was on March 25th of 1987....... BTW, there're no footages from that performance on any Queen documentarties though I haven't seen them all |

Are you guys certain that Freddie and Elton never recorded together? Has this been confirmed? Wasn't there some 'activity' in 1976 in Advision studios London? Can someone ask John Stuart, he'll know. Shall I have a look in the tape archive in the meantime? |

I thought they spent time in the studio in the mid seventies, i think there are a few photos even. Maybe look on the net for these pics? I would but i am tired. lol |

Can someone ask John Stuart, he'll know. Shall I have a look in the tape archive in the meantime?So many questions... Let me ask you question too - after you'll look in the tape archive (in the meantime) - will you tell us (i.e. confirm if it's true or not) the answer? (Off-topic: seems like Greg is one of very few Englishmen who uses the word "shall"! I learnt that damned "shall" in the school and tried to understand difference between "shall" and "will", but no-one use it...) |
Sebastian 04.09.2006 12:12 |
"Shall" is more polite and is used in those sort of questions: shall I check the archives? shall we (go, read, dance...)? Greg's using it in a similar way to "should" in this case, which is correct. And instead "will I ...?" would be grammatically possible but it doesn't quite make much sense. |
Queen Archivist 04.09.2006 13:41 |
I shall continue to read the odd thing here - until the builders leave me. Keep me entertained chaps, with your conversation about 'shall'. I like it. |

Serry, you can't teach a pig to sing. You just waste your time and annoy the pig. |

I always wonder this cause Elton and Freddie was such good friends!!! |
Crezchi 05.09.2006 04:30 |
I think the perfect cd would be Freddie & Elton doing Gospel songs! Seriously, but with Elton on piano, and Freddie on vocals. Elton is a very good gospel style pianist and Freddie would have made a great gospel singer. I always wanted to hear him sing gospel, but never happened. :( The closest i have heard is "Everybody Happy?" which has a great old Gospel sound. |

Hmm, possible titles for unfound tracks: "Thanks For Pulling Out" "Gooey For You" "The Flame Game" "Pass The Preparation H" |
