Hallo!
-
Vokal i
piano. Hi, Fred!
-
Come one, Ed!
-
Fred, how do
you are you feel paying and singing before the 200 000 people?
-
I’ve done it yet.
(Interviewer laughing)
-
It’s very good. I think, we really looking
forward to it tonight. And we just hope everybody has a good time.
-
O’K. And what
about you, Brian May? Brian May, good guitar player.
-
Thank you.
-
Hi, Brian! How
do you feeling?
-
Pretty good.
-
How do you
like your (reeve) at San Paulo?
-
Amm, well, we had a very good… we had a
rest in Rio, and I think, we gonna do a lot of work here, which is what we
wanted to do.
-
Do you like
that?
-
Yes, it was very nice. Yeah, they all
tell me, I couldn’t go with two dangerous, but it seems like Rio was very
friendly, it was, you know… Everybody’s protecting if you can’t (will here),
you know.
-
O’k. Brian,
how could you step (…) between the audience of the Hyde Park with 150.000 people, and this one tonight about 200 000
people? How do you feel about that?
-
It’s a very different situation, because
in Hyde Park we were known to everybody and that was like a way of saying
“Thank you”. This is a complete new meeting. Nobody really knows what we like, and we don’t
really know, what they like. So, this is a real feeling of expecting through all
thing, you know.
-
I caught you,
you’re not right, and I’ll explain you, why. You’re well-known here, in Brazil,
so?
-
It’s we will learning smth, so, but
people still don’t exactly know, what it is gonna be like.
-
And abou you?
It’s our…
-
John Deacon!
-
John Deacon. Our bassist. How are you, how is
everything?
-
Everything
is O’K.
-
You have been rehearsing couple of hours ago…
-
Yes
-
…and we had our small audience. Was it good enough for
you two of feel that the spirit of our audience?
-
I think
so, yes. We always have a soundcheck every time we play in the afternoon, to
check that the sound is O’K and the sound found fund will be good for the show
tonight.
-
John Deacon, how do you feel about enough playing in
Rio?
-
Basically,
we are very, very, very disappointed. We just heard today that they were not
aloud to play American on. We just very great shamed, because we have come
thousands of miles to South America, to Brazil enough. We have all our
equipment here, in Brazil, we just all ready to go. We are here, we are willing
to play. We have also offer to do the show in Rio for charities as well, and we
also know, that a lot of people would love to come to the show in Rio and see
us live. And they will be very-very…
-
(быстро переводит, не дав Джону договорить)
-
It is a
great shame, and we would like to apologize that in Rio they only gonna see us
on television.

It’s O’K, you know. We were… we’ve been
doing it for quite a well now, you know.

Are you quite
