Covering Bohemian Rhapsody in 1976



Only a couple of months after Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" hit the airwaves, a band named Sixpence performed it live in their gigs. This was back when the only way to learn someone else's song was to listen to the album and figure it out on your own. And these guys didn't even have a guitarist- just drums, bass, keyboard, and several gutsy and talented singers. Queen doesn't perform this song fully live; they always use supplemental  recorded vocals. We are lucky to even have this 50-year-old footage.
