When did Freddie start doin his "Day-O" thing at concerts? |
| _amadeus_ 17.06.2005 22:30 |
Wat do ya mean 'Day-O'? The only thing I think of is in 'Who Wants to Live Forever' at Wembley he sorta does somethin' like that O_o |
| Suigi 18.06.2005 01:37 |
I think he's talking about the "repeat after me" segments in Queen's live shows, Wembley being a good example. Not sure if it's "Day-O" rather than just vowels. |

He usually did it before under pressure, most of the time with a glass of beer. Most notably wembley (god that was like ten minutes!) and live aid (when he threw beer at the crowd.) that and he did a bit of that during AOBTD at wembley (no beer). |

i think it was probably some thing that grew from the first LOVE OF MY LIFE songalongs...getting the audience involved |
| Serry... 18.06.2005 12:08 |
the_hero is correct, though I guess Freddie sung Day-O during The Works Tour '85 also. |

the_hero wrote: his first "singing with the audience" was in 1979 during Now I'm here, that was just the basic "yeah" stuff during Hot Space he did a few more "cools and yeahs" and in 1984 he started to do real vocal improvisations, like impromptu's and then in 1986 came the Day-O and the impromptu's came late ron in the showYep during '85 he already did Day-Oh. Like LIVE AID |

Oh, now I know what ur' talkin' about :D Ya, that thing at Wembley lasted forever. |

Is it true that Freddie often forgot the words to the Day-O song and had to have it written on the palms of his hands? fatty. |

I always loved when Freddie did the DAY-O thing. Live Aid & Wembley were classics! Like at Wembley when he sings so high he says to the audience "I can't go any higher, let's go down a little". But when he sings as high as he can, and Holds the note for quite some time, (which is amazing!)... ...Roger kids around with Freddie & the crowd and does a little drum end roll after Freddie ends the note! Adorable. |

Heard that he did it before UP on the Magic tour, as to get his voice going for that song. In Paris, on the Magic tour, he did it 3 times different times. |

On the MK concert he also trys to get the audience singin like Aretha Franklin. |

I have to look for the thread, but a couple months back I asked about Freddie throwing berr, and no-one corrected me to say it was water, they all said it was beer. I have even read where he poured champagne on an audience at Madison Square Garden. Hey, at least it's the good stuff. Let me search for that thread. It won't come up cuz I just searched...but I remember this. |

Everyone on that thread told me it "was cool", that Freddie did that, but personally, I would NOT like that at all. I don't care if it's Freddie doing the beer/water throwing/pouring or not. I do NOT find that all "Show Biz", and if an artist did that to me, (unless it was the coemdian Gallagher...where that IS part of his act), I would walk out. But that's just me. |

Bohardy wrote: You and Tom Cruise would get on well Arlene. linkNo...I just don't appreciate someone pouring beer in my eyes or on me. I've had that happen in bars...and it ain't "showbiz". It sucks. I bet I've been to a gazillion concerts and local bar bands too, and no one has ever thrown beer on the crowd. In fact, the BAND usually HATES when the audience throws beer ON THEM!!!! |

the_hero wrote: I think you got it mixed up, someone was asking if Freddie threw beer towards the crowd, not the crowd towards Freddie..No..the original question on MY thread..and on this thread..was WHY did Freddie throw beer or water ON the CROWD?... Here is MY thread again! link ..Didn't you read my posts on this thread, and on MY thread?.... But when everybody said that they thought what Freddie did was "cool", and I said I would not find that cool...I ALSO pointed out..that not only some audience members may NOT like having a band or rock star throw water or beer on them... ..but also..the band's themselves that do NOT throw water or beer on crowds do NOT do so, becuase they do NOT like if or when the crowd throws water or beer on them as well. I was trying to say that just like there is nothing wrong with the audience NOT liking it thrown on them... ...many bands CAN relate because when put in the reverse situation, the band does NOT like it either. |

I doubt any one would be stupid enough to stare at beer being thrown your way, as every one usally put's there head down when water or anything else is thrown out. |
| wstüssyb 20.06.2005 16:18 |
Before this gets more out of hand think of this you are throwing a cup of beer/water over a area of about 15-20 SQ feet, you are pretty much hot( summer tour, outdoors, you been in that area atleast 3-4 hours) You figure out of that 8 oz cup over 20 sq feet, you might get 5 or 6 drops of beer/water. I doubt any one there really mined, if any one actually did walk out of these shows I have never heard of. |

Though not famous "Day-O", he already played with the audience like a catchball while Now I'm Here during the Jazz tour (before Live Killers tour), depending on the mood at that time. I like it, too...I'm sure he loved and enjoyed singing with the audience from '70s. And he was good at stirring up them to sing naturally. It's one of his awesome talents. p.s. sorry, I wrote what was already said... |
