One of my favorite bands from the 1990s and beyond.
Music producer Rick Beato got a hold of the multitrack masters of this song for his YouTube series What Makes This Song Great. In his video, Rick breaks down the song so you can hear exactly what's going on.
The band liked the result so much they posted it on the official Tool website!
Thanks for the Clapton. He still plays some of the local pubs here. As I’m UK, and it is after midnight, one of the sweetest tunes ever.

What Makes This Song Great?
Guitarist Brian May sits down with music producer Rick Beato for this entertaining and informative breakdown of Queen's most famous song.
Although Queen is known to block a lot of YouTube content that features its music, in the case of Rick Beato, it's done the opposite, actually supplying him with the 24-track master recordings. Smart move.
Musicians will love this, and even though it's a little bit geeky, I think many non-musicians will as well.Hearing the layered vocals—isolated from the music—is a revelation, as are the myriad details supplied by Brian May.
WAR!
Music doesn't get much better that this. Thanks for posting.
No. Wait!
Music doesn't get much better than STEELY DAN.
Gotta love Walter Becker's indifference to the lip-synching. Reminds me of the time Phil Lesh played a broom when they wouldn't let him play for real.

When was this?
Don't know the exact date, but according to this thread at formus.stevehoffman.tv, it was sometime in '66 or '67.
You know what they say: Pics or it ain't real. But, yeah, Hoffman does have a snapshot!

Thanks. Never knew of that.
