Today, on 29th March, 1987

Freddie Mercury attended a performance by Montserrat Caballé at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, where she sang "Exercises In Free Love" as an encore; at Garden Lodge Freddie met Montserrat Caballé and agreed on further collaboration

👉 The Story:

In July 1986, during an interview for the Spanish Arts TV programme Informe Semanal, Freddie discussed his passion for opera, and in particular his love of Montserrat Caballé’s voice.

The message, however, did not go unheard, and word got back to Montserrat. Manager Jim Beach made contact with Queen’s promoter in Spain, Pino Sagliocco, to set up a meeting, and ultimately Freddie’s dream became a reality nine months later. He finally met up with Montserrat at the Ritz Hotel in Barcelona on March 24, 1987. And so was born perhaps the most extraordinary collaboration in modern recording history.

Freddie flew into Barcelona with Jim Beach, composer/arranger Mike Moran, and his personal assistant Peter Freestone. Freddie also took with him a tape containing a song he had written specially for the occasion.

On March 29, Montserrat was in London for her sold out performance in Covent Garden. Freddie was in attendance of course, and was, by all accounts, a quivering wreck. True to her word, as the final encore of the recital, Montserrat surprised her audience by announcing a brand new piece entitled Exercises In Free Love, written by Freddie Mercury and Mike Moran. The flawless performance evoked a standing ovation from the audience, and once again Freddie was ecstatic.

After the recital, Freddie, Mike, Montserrat and brother Carlos, dined together at Freddie’s house. Over dinner, Montserrat asked Freddie if he would write a song about her home town, and of course he agreed. Discussions continued late into the night - despite Carlos announcing early on that his sister and he would not be staying long - and the two finally left Freddie’s house at 5.00 a.m. the next morning. During the night, Freddie, Montserrat and Mike worked on ideas together which would later form the basis of Barcelona and The Fallen Priest.

Mike Moran: “We played everything from Aretha Franklin to Jennifer Holliday, and Montserrat had a go at gospel music like a diva had never done before. She felt a wonderful sense of artistic freedom, which Freddie had brought into her life. She said that it was wonderful being with people for whom music was a very natural expression, rather than a ritualised process”

wada sez: Grimlock’s feud with the birds was a gag at the end of the Dinobots’ introductory episode “Blast from the Past”. Readers at the time were just as confused as I am as to why the Dinobots are off their island! Any ideas? It’s only Grimlock that visits the mainland in “Black Friday”.

The Cross + Brian May + John Deacon live at the Le Palais in London, UK (Fan club Xmas party with Brian and John) - December 4, 1988

This was a fan club party where The Cross were joined by Brian and John for the last four songs. Brian comes to the stage, starts playing a couple of chords of Dust My Broom but then stops and says: "OK guys, I guess we need a little more help. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Deacon". The fans go crazy, of course. One of the very few appearances of three Queen members together. Mike Moran and Chris Thompson were special guests that night (Spike Edney was on tour). The recording is available on bootleg video.
