5.00Informative, fun and a real sense of getting to know a little about the man behind the myth. What was of greatest interest to me was to see and get a feel of the location/Casino/Smoke on The Water episode and the other artists who recorded at Mountain Studios. It is easy when listening in the UK to think that these records were recorded at the top of a snow covered peak, not in a Casino in downtown Montreux. Fascinating.

5.00It was a magical moment standing next to Freddie and in Queen the studio experience it felt like all four members were in the room at the mixing desk. A kind of magic.
