Summary[edit]

Description
English: Freddie Mercury performing at New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, CT

Photography in portrait format, in color. Freddie's upper body from the waist to the head takes up the entire image. In his right hand, he holds a microphone in front of his open mouth and sings. The microphone is attached to an about 1-meter-long stand, which was removed from the lower holder. His head is slightly inclined to the back and to the right, so the left half of his face is turned toward the viewer. Freddie's left eye is half-closed. His left hand is loosely spread and his left index finger elegantly carries the microphone cable at neck level. Freddie is shaved and wears a five o'clock shadow. The backcombed dark brown mullet is lit from behind, creating a thin yellow glowing outline around the head. Between the hair and the left sideburns, the earlobe can be seen. He wears a tight white bodysuit with hand-sized black diamonds. The very deep oval neckline exposes much of the hairy torso almost to the navel. Two large black diamonds extend below the neckline, touching at the inner corners and connected with more diamonds at the outer corners. The diamond pattern of the full bodysuit is reminiscent of a harlequin. The diamonds at the elbows are slimmer and occupy half the forearm of the ¾ sleeve. The held microphone cable and the stand form an X in front of Freddie's bare chest.

The background is reddish-brown. Under Freddie's right elbow, parts of two drum cymbals can be blurredly seen. Freddie is completely in his element and is devoted to the music. His body language and facial expression make one feel that Freddie is sensually absorbed in the music.

Deutsch: Freddie Mercury bei einem Auftritt im New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut.

Fotografie im Hochformat, farbig. Der Oberkörper von der Hüfte aufwärts füllt das gesamte Bild aus. In seiner rechten Hand hält er ein Mikrofon vor den geöffneten Mund und singt. Das Mikrofon ist an einem ca. 1 Meter langen Mikrofonständer befestigt, der aus der unteren Halterung herausgenommen wurde. Der Kopf ist leicht nach hinten rechts geneigt, sodass die linke Gesichtshälfte zu den Betrachtenden gewandt ist. Freddies linkes Auge, das zu sehen ist, ist halb geschlossen. Seine linke Hand ist locker gespreizt und der linke Zeigefinger trägt das Mikrofonkabel auf Halshöhe elegant. Freddie ist rasiert, hat einen Bartschatten und der auftoupierte dunkelbraune Vokuhila wird von hinten angeleuchtet, sodass der Kopf von einem dünnen gelb-glühenden Umriss umgeben ist. Zwischen den Haaren und der Kotelette auf der linken Schläfe ist das linke Ohrläppchen zu sehen. Er trägt einen engen weißen Body mit handgroßen schwarzen Rauten. Der sehr tiefe ovale Ausschnitt lässt einen Großteil des behaarten Oberkörpers fast bis zum Bauchnabel frei. Unter dem Ausschnitt erstrecken sich zwei große schwarze Rauten, die sich an den Ecken berühren und an den Außenecken mit weiteren Rauten verbunden sind. Das Karomuster des Ganzkörperanzugs erinnert an einen Harlekin. Die Rauten an den Ellbogen sind schlanker und füllen den halben Unterarm des ¾ Ärmel aus. Das gehaltene Mikrofonkabel und der Mikrofonständer bilden ein X vor Freddies nackter Brust.

Der Hintergrund ist rötlich-braun. Unter Freddies rechtem Ellbogen sieht man verschwommen Teile zweier Schlagzeugbecken. Freddie ist vollkommen in seinem Element und ist der Musik hingegeben. Seine Körpersprache und Mimik lassen fühlen, dass Freddie sinnlich in die Musik vertieft ist.
