Chapter 58 - Love of my life/Rock in Rio/ Rio de Janeiro/ Part 3 - January 1985
Yasmin POV.
After today's show I'll have a conversation with Freddie. I hated the way he treated Amim and others. It's my people. No matter if he was angry with the press, the media say that as if it were the only band. He overstepped. The show was delayed further because Freddie made after the snack was still in the dressing room, one of his overalls he wears the shows had torn and had to quickly call a seamstress.
They will go up on stage at eleven-fifteen.
With five minutes to Roger the stage he switched to white pants and put a black that was very sexy in it too and kissed me on the lips and said smiling:
- I hope you enjoy the show, my love.
- Of course I will, my love. - I smiled at him.
Ryan and Michelle were in Roger dressing room, sleeping in strollers. Crystal had hired a reliable nanny to look at the two while I watch the show over the stage.
Veronica, Layla, Mary, Les Paul, Robert and I went up to the stage before the boys. We were on the right near where John would. We sat there. Fans of the band do not see us, but we see ourselves screaming and anxious. Are two hundred and fifty thousand people screaming QUEEN nonstop.
Michael, Laura and Joshua had been with another trusted nanny hired Crystal. They were already in John's dressing room.
- It is wonderful! Contagious follow it all! - Mary said smiling. - The Brazilian people are friendly, welcoming.
- So it is explained the sympathy of Yasmin. The Brazilian people are magnificent. - Veronica smiled.
- I'm loving being here. - Layla smiled.
- I will come back more often to Brazil, for sure. - Les smiled.
Shortly after they took the stage and Freddie spoke in Portuguese:
- Hello Brazil, hello Rio de Janeiro? How are you?
The audience went wild. They started playing and singing Tie Your Mother Down. Freddie drove fans as a conductor. I was in full pike. Then came the song Seven Seas of Rye. The third song of the night was Keep Yourself Alive, the band's first album in 1973. Then they played and sang Liar. The audience was excited. I watched Freddie singing masterfully, that because he's a little hoarse, Brian making his incredible guitar solos, John with his magnificent performance on bass. What about Roger? My love goes with a lot of energy, still rocking on drums, playing with the soul, the heart, a drummer from another world, beyond the vocal extraordinary support with his hoarse, high voice. The fifth song of the night was It's Hard Life, the latest album THE WORKS. Then came another older song of the band: Now I'm here. The audience screamed, sang along, showed the great bands declaring all their love of Queen, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. I was in tears. Brazilian fans are different, can not explain. They give themselves body and soul. The boys were playing and looked astonished at all times the emotional delivery of the fans at the show. Then came the song Is This The World We Created. Even the songs not as well known to the Brazilian public they sang beautifully in English, unerringly.
After this song, the stage was all dark and realized that Roger and John left the stage. They approached us and Crystal delivered water to them. Roger sat beside me with a bottle of water, hugging me and kissing me and said:
- What do you like the show so far, my princess?
- I'm just delighted. You are rocking and the Brazilian fans, wow, gave themselves body and soul to love the band. The 250,000 fans are at the foot of the band. - Smiling said.
- I say that tonight we are we at the feet of the Brazilian fans, because this is not over. - John smiled.
- Tuning, the synergy between the public and we are reciprocal, perfect! - Rog smiled kissing me again.
At this time they light up the stage lights again. They are just Freddie and Brian. Brian is tuning his guitar and Freddie takes a glass of water. The little water that has in his glass he plays in some fans screaming euphoric. The fans did not stop screaming the name Queen. After Brian finishes tuning his guitar he tells totally thrilled microphone:
- This song is very special to the people of South America Thank you for making her so special to everyone else in the world..
Brian was totally broken voice and the fans cheered.
- The song I think I know: Love of my life. - Bri said.
The fans screamed again.
Brian at this time began to strum the guitar introduction to the music and then instead of Freddie singing he waved to the audience sing. Freddie really is like the conductor, conducting the orchestra. Perfect. And the fans began to sing in perfect English the words:
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life, can not you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Do not take it away from me
Because you do not know
What it means to me
When fans finished singing the words, Freddie blew a kiss to the fans and they applauded the gesture.
Bri continued strumming on the guitar. Then Freddie began to sing:
Love of my life, do not leave me
You've stolen my love
And now desert me
Then he gestures to the fans sing again and they sing:
Love of my life, can not you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Do not take it away from me
Because you do not know
What it means to me
Freddie smiles and blows kisses to them again. Fans cheer and Freddie said:
- This is too much.
Fans continue cheering. Freddie approaches Brian and tells the fans in Portuguese:
- Thank you!
Fans scream and clap without stopping.
Freddie hopes Bri do some more fingerings on the guitar and then starts singing again:
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side
To remind you how I still love you
And the fans sing the words:
- I still love you.
Bri raises his right hand waving audience.
Freddie sings the words: '' I still love you '' pointing to the public.
Then Freddie says into the microphone:
- This is really good!
Brian is more a solo on the guitar, strumming perfectly fans start screaming: BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN!
Bri is moved, waves to the audience smiling and doing another solo on the guitar, making the fingering perfectly. Roger is sitting next to me on the stage smiling with our hands clasped. He kisses my hand. After Bri ends fingering, Freddie sings:
Back, hurry back
Do not take it away from me
Because you do not know
What it means to me
And fans sang:
Love of my life
Love of my life
And Freddie ended:
'' You Heah ''.
He said:
- All right!
And then the audience applauded. And the stage was dark again. Mary, Veronica, Layla and I cried with emotion.
- This was simply AMAZING! - Robert smiled open-mouthed.
Roger smiled at him and said:
- And then dear godson wants to be a future musician?
- Yes godfather, I have tested a lot drums, guitar and bass. I appreciate their lessons and my father's lessons.
- That's right my son. - John smiled kissing the face of Robert.
- I am delighted with the fans. They surrendered completely. - I smiled at Roger.
He kissed me on the lips and John and he stood up.
- Come back my love. - Rog kissed my lips.
Soon the stage was clear again and Roger and John were already with Freddie and Brian and they started playing Brighton Rock and then Hammer to Fall, recent song on the album THE WORKS.
Then Freddie was toward the piano and began to play and sing Bohemian Rhapsody. The audience went wild. The 250,000 fans sang together. Then they sang and played Radio Ga Ga written by my husband. Rog has always had the dream that one day he would write a song for the Queen became a hit of the band and that's what happened. The fans sang along with Freddie and did the same gesture Bri, John, Freddie and Roger are in the clip. The four looked impressed for the fans.
Then it was time I want to break free and automatically remembered the clip they are dressed as women. The fans were excited. When they finished the song everything went dark again. Roger soon changed to black pants and put his white pants. My husband does not know the color of pants to wear hahaha.
After the stage was clear again Freddie took the stage shirtless, with a long wig and came with a part of the flag of England and the other part with the Brazilian flag. Fans were ecstatic. Brian from the beginning of the show was a T-shirt in honor of Rio de Janeiro. They began to play and sing We will rock you. The audience shouted: WE WILL ROCK YOU.
Then Freddie was toward the piano and began to introduce We are the Champions. Then he started singing too. Roger did the vocals. The excitement of being here is very large. I will never forget. The show was marked in the history of Rock in Rio, in the history of the band. When Freddie finished singing was just Roger, Bri and John still playing and at that time there was a wonderful fireworks display representing the end of the show. When he finished the fireworks they stopped playing. The four go in front of the stage and revere the 250,000 fans.
Bri says:
- I will never forget that night. Show unforgettable. Excitement from start to finish. We surrendered to the Brazilian fans. Thanks for the affection.
John the shyest said:
- Always remember fondly this magical night. You are amazing. Congratulations.
- I was surprised with each of you in this magical night. - Freddie smiled. - Are in our hearts. Only I wish you happiness and thanks for the love that has the band. The love we have for our fans is reciprocal.
- I already have a beautiful Brazilian loved in my life and now I have you all in my heart. - Roger smiled speaking in Portuguese to the public. - You surrendered the band tonight, and the four of us surrender to you too. 250 000 voices singing along with the band. It's something amazing. Unforgettable. Fantastic. You are perfect! Thank you all.
Then Freddie picks up the large flag of Brazil and England together and extends. Roger took one side of the flag and Freddie the other. Again they revered the public and then started playing God Save the Queen. And they left the stage toward the dressing rooms. It is half past midnight the day January 12, 1985 and I am very electric. The adrenaline in the body is very large. Today's show will never be forgotten, ever.
Roger came to me and hugged him hard. Actually jumped in his neck and he held me by the waist kissing me on the lips with all the love he felt for me.
- The show was amazing my kitty, my life. It was perfect! Unforgettable and also spoke indirectly of me for Brazilians. - He said smiling while crying.
He kissed me more and then smiled and said:
- Brazilians are fantastic, my love. It is a blessed land with a blessed people. And I am blessed to have her in my life. So I told all of them that I have a beautiful and beloved Brazilian in my life.
I asked Rog put me down and kissed and made more affection in his sweaty hair.
- I'm all sweaty, my princess. - he said.
- Does not matter. - smile. - You are handsome.
Then Brian called us and opened a champagne handing us glasses. Before brindarmos he said:
- A toast to the Brazilian people, the Brazilian fans, the wonderful show we did tonight. A show that will go down in history of the band.
- And in the history of rock'n'roll. - Complementei smiling.
- A toast to our fans, a toast to us. A toast to the Queen. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Shouted all together drinking champagne.
It really was a memorable night. I'm sure that thirty years from now the fans will remember this evening.
