[b]Please can someone explain exactly what was overdubbed on the 'Live At Wembley' show, and how, and why? I feel a bit sad about it, heh! Never noticed before, either, and I've watched the DVD about 20 times![/b]

I wish I knew myself.  I've only heard One Vision and one other track undubbed (can't remember which).  One Vision was mostly the same, but a couple of Freddie's high notes were actually low ones, and Brian had some really amusing fuck-ups at the end of the song.

I'm 100% positive about the overdubs on: One Vision, A Kind Of Magic, Who Wants to Live Forever, and We Are The Champions.
[/QUOTE]Not sure about any others though.[/QUOTE]

[b]Hahaha! It's things like these that make me wish that none of it was overdubbed at all, I'd really love to see and hear things just as they were on the day! I know Brian fucked up on another song, but can't remember which one (I remember reading it I mean, not actually hearing it.) And I am still curious as to why Freddie starts 'Who Wants To Live Forever?' instead of Brian.[/b][b]
[/b][/QUOTE][b]Thanks, GregSynth! Interesting about 'We Are The Champions', I suppose it is quite obvious, with the exception of Freddie singing low harmonising notes on the "no time for losers" parts...

What tipped me off about the overdubs, was in some spots, I heard TWO Freddies singing with each other!

[b]Ahaha, really?! Which song(s)? How funny! [/b]

Right at 3:32, there's an overdubbed C5 on top of Queen's harmony:[/QUOTE]

[/b]It was just one of those executive decisions.  Brian never sang the lead at Queen shows, with the exception of that one line in Hello Mary Lou.[b]

As for the overdubs, these things are to be expected on a live album, usually to fix up vocals.  There are very few rock live albums without overdubs.  Wembley's patchwork was pretty minimal compared to say.. Kiss Alive, which was almost completely redone in the studio.[b]

There's a joke on Youtube about the Wembley concert: Someone called it "Queen: Dubbed at Wembley."

[b]Hahaha! Ouch! XD[/b]
