Queen: The Millionaire Waltz
Queen’s classical influence really shines on the intro to this song in a duet between Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon. Originally recorded for A Day at the Races, this clip of “The Millionaire Waltz” comes from a live performance at the Summit in Houston, Texas in 1977.
It’s too bad the camera misses most of Deacon’s upper register romp, but we get a good look at him when the song really takes off.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Could listen to any of these four artists over and over and over again!
Deacon rules! One of the greatest rock bassists of all times.
