44: Dave Clark (on Freddie Mercury)

from Barstool Rockers · host Barstool Rockers

If you haven't seen Bohemian Rhapsody, see it. This story picks up mere months after Queen's iconic performance at Live Aid, when Freddie Mercury was recruited by his dear friend, Dave Clark (Dave Clark 5) to record a track for a star-studded concept album based on "Time": A sci-fi, rock musical written by Clark. A few months later, Freddie Mercury returned to Abbey Road studios to record a second song: 'Time.' Finn had a few minutes with Dave Clark to talk about the process and Dave shared some humorous memories.
