Is Play The Game overdubbed in any way from the We Will Rock You video? I remember being a kid and thinking it sounded like it'd been recorded over in the studio - and that was before I knew anything about overdubbing.

thou in terms of the arguement of the director and the band
i do believe that members of Queen were harsh towards Swimmer. Cos think of it like this, Queen are like actors. in terms of filmwise, actors are renowned for being real dickheads (pardon my french) they want things to work for them, they say everything evoles around them, and they'll often use the excuse of walking off set as a threat. Personlly i think Queen did this concert for the money and just did not like working under someone else for a change.
as a film maker myself, doing film making at my uni, i relise how much power we have,
being realistic, the people with the least amount of power is the actors (or Queen in this discussion)
yes both strive for perfection and in Swimmers eyes, what was got wasnt perfection. hense why he would of had fred do
in the end both Directors and musicians are often renowned for being difficult to work with, thou in terms of a battle, the director always wins[/QUOTE]
Not sure about this. Remember that they worked in the studio with Roy Thomas Baker, and at the time of Monteal Mack. I think they were fully capable of working with a director or producer.
They may have had ideas about what shots should be used to capture certain elements of the show but at the end of the day I also think that they realized they were not film makers.

Yep, check this video I made. I synced the center channel from WWRY DVD to the video. Check 0:15, 1:13. Maybe there are a couple more, but these seemed the most obvious to me.

Well done.

The Play The Game overdub at 1:13 is still present in Rock Montreal.
Love the drum sound from the WWRY release - the kick has a nice click to it which they appear to have EQ'ed away for Rock Montreal.

I do like it though. Sounds powerful. And when I first heard it I had no idea it was actually an overdub.

I like it too! I'm one of those non-purist listeners that care less about whether what we hear is exactly what was played that night, and more about the listening experience. If Queen decided they needed to overdub a few things to be happy with the product, then there's probably a good reason for it. Hell, I can even accept careful pitch correcting of really sour notes - the only thing I have a problem with is the robotic sound of blatant autotuning, really.

I fully agree. If an overdub is done well (so that a non hardcore fan doesn't notice) then I think it can enhance the performance, and to me, in case of Play The Game, it does. I think Wembley was overdubbed so bad it's obvious, it doesn't blend in but sounds like it's placed on top of the original instead.
Yeah, that obvious autotuning sound is obnoxious.
