Hi Here you go, from amazing Sikke Van Der Veen unseen alternative video These Are The Days Of Our Lives link |
| Kuijpy 04.01.2016 14:34 |
I'm in love with this version! John Deacon, what a man! |
| malicedoom 04.01.2016 16:01 |
Fantastic. |
| Vali 04.01.2016 17:19 |
this is incredible !!!! thankyou for sharing, I love it ! haha, so much John !!! :-) |
| matt z 04.01.2016 22:38 |
Incredibly "human" version here. Where does it come from? The spirit of the song works wonders here, particularlyin terms of nostalgia and fun. Everybody but Roger has something to say while seemingly "saying" nothing. .. This is probably better than the original (*if I could everfind it online. .... my vcr is in storage.) |
| dave76 05.01.2016 03:14 |
It's a great share, I prefer this one over the original. Much more emotion and it's moving to see the others mime as well to the song. Great to see that Freddie was able to do multiple takes of this video. How brave he was. |
| Cruella de Vil 05.01.2016 04:35 |
Thank you. Nice to see Deacy so involved. Cheers |
| Viper 05.01.2016 05:37 |
thx! |
| Victorvil 05.01.2016 06:12 |
I cried a little watching this. Thanks so much Sikke |
| Queenman!! 05.01.2016 06:45 |
Thanks Sikke... dank je wel! |
| mr mason 05.01.2016 07:57 |
You the man,many,many thanks! |
| malicedoom 05.01.2016 08:20 |
Freddie is absolutely out of his mind to be out there doing that in the condition he is in... ...and I love it. Go, Freddie. |
| Apocalipsis_Darko 05.01.2016 08:25 |
Is impossible not to cry...very sad. And mor emotional than the other versions. |

Wonderful clip. Freddie was truly one of a kind... Even when he could only move his arms he still produced a truly unique and touching performance. On the one hand it's so painful to watch the most dynamic and powerful frontman ever reduced to a frail man who could hardly walk but on the other hand is his performance - just waving his arms - during the guitar solo so expressive that this clip reminds us all of the wonder that was Freddie Mercury. And some chuckles by Freddie prove that this man was all about joy and about living, even when death was knocking at his door. |
| Martin Packer 05.01.2016 08:48 |
Not just his arms but his facial expressions as well. I was impressed that he got so much out of himself in this performance. |
| MackMantilla 05.01.2016 09:48 |
this version drove me to tears :') |
| malicedoom 05.01.2016 10:20 |
I wish they would have left that final, traditional Freddie 'arm swish' (it's at the very end) in the officially released version. That move is SO, classic Freddie, and I think it looked really cool in the video. But at least we get to see it in this version. |
| BradMay 05.01.2016 10:51 |
He also did the typical guitar/arm movement around Brian his solo. He was so sick and so frail but he still wanted to move! |
| Rick 05.01.2016 11:53 |
Great video! The John shots are pure gold. |
| badboybez 05.01.2016 12:30 |
Brilliant. Though I read a long long while ago that Brian was added at a later date as he was with the Brian May Band? Was that true? If it is I think the giveaway is at 1.45 - shaky part of video with John, Freddie and Roger - looks like they were put on top of the Brian part. |
| cmi 05.01.2016 12:51 |
Very enjoyable and emotional version of the video. Unfortunately a lot of great touching shots were not used in final version. Actually this montage work is very rough with a lot of 'bad' crossfade moments. |
| khe73 05.01.2016 13:10 |
Great to finally see on of these different takes, i heard that there is 8 different takes. |
| cmsdrums 05.01.2016 13:28 |
Lovely to see the different shots - fantastic footage of John. Would love to see a Rhys Thomas edit from the rushes. |

If it is I think the giveaway is at 1.45 - shaky part of video with John, Freddie and Roger - looks like they were put on top of the Brian part.He was actually in the US doing a radio tour to promote Innuendo. Brian hadn't formed his band yet by this point. But indeed, you're right - he was superimposed into the footage after the fact. As for the video itself - wow. That just destroyed me. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for everyone in that room to create that. The new shots of Mercury and Deacon particularly can only make you wonder what was going through their minds. Every line of that song brings a different memory to each band member's mind. By far, this is the best song Roger Taylor ever wrote. Not many people create something knowing it will be their epitaph, but surely everyone involved knew this was precisely that. There is no Don't Try So Hard video from October 1991, folks. This is clearly the last Queen video. Just look at them. That's all the evidence you need. |
| brians wig 05.01.2016 15:13 |
And there are multiple takes too I gather - not just of R,J &F performing together, but each individually a few times for those close up shots. Freddie really DID give his heart and soul to that recording session. |

| Holly2003 05.01.2016 17:18 |
I had to wipe away a few dust particles that got into my eyes while I was watching this, which caused them to water a bit. Yep, that must be it ... |
| angelrulax 06.01.2016 13:40 |
Can anybody reupload this? Than you. |
| Fuckyouandyourmothertoo 06.01.2016 21:12 |
Can someone please upload this again? It's been removed from Youtube. |
| Another Roger (re) 07.01.2016 05:36 |
I need to see this. Can anybody upload or share it? |

Have anyone downloaded this in its original resolution which is 480p? Same as Sikke's upload |
| bitesthedust 10.01.2016 14:07 |
Whether this version is better than the released one is conjecture, but it is just as moving and worth viewing. I'd like to think that QP will release this eventually, in time. |

Thank you ! I love it ... For some reason I found it more touching than the official release ... Awlink I'm just a bit more emotional due to the passing of the Starman .... |

The last 2 minutes or so are heart-wrenching. Thank you for this. It shows just why Queen are special to us - why they are such a great bunch of people, such a great band. |
| Costa86 14.01.2016 20:13 |
You know what, I kind of realise completely now one of the reasons why John has had nothing to do with the various reincarnations of Queen - because Queen were so magical as the foursome they were, and once Freddie died, that was lost. Looking at this video, I kind of get it now, in a way I had not before. Freddie was really that magical spark which made Queen, and Roger, John and Brian were all tied together in unified glow by Freddie's light. |
