Love love love it raw, live and REAL How could anyone not!? Thanks for posting Z. Who did the audience recording? I so wish I could have been there, this is as close as you can get to being there.

Just watched a few minutes of the posted youtube clip.
They have over dubbed freddies voice for a fair amount of One Vision - never realised. Quite a few guitar stuff ups to and thats only the first song!

(Forgive me for the bump!)
This was the album that got me hooked on 'Queen' (live albums have always been of more interest to me), and I never realized the overdubs were there until I read these forums, haha! Doesn't help that the sound quality on Wembley is so garbled and shitty that its harder to tell, but I notice it so much more now.
I never even thought about vocal overdubs but, granted, the music I had been listening to prior (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr.), in their concerts they obviously never did overdubs so thats why it was such a foreign concept to me at the time. I find it really interesting to learn that its "the rule, not the exception" for rock bands to do overdubs for live albums in the studio, thats really neat! Would you guys say this concert is the Queen concert with the most vocal overdubs, with the exception of maybe the 'Live Killers' album?
I remember being so confused listening to the concert the first time hearing him hit those D5s in 'One Vision' and thinking "Wow, thats fucking incredible he could do that live, be he keeps struggling at random points in the show! Must've blown his voice in the first song". It makes much more sense now.
Also its become so much more obvious the difference in vocal quality on his voice between the live track and the vocal overdubs. He goes from a deeper voice one second to his higher, studio wail the next. I still need to watch the full July 11 show but he sounds much better there from everything I've heard. But Budapest and Mannheim are awesome without any dubs.

I think that's why I prefer Live Magic to Wembley - the overdubs are better.

The Friday performance is inferior to the Saturday one, regardless how many "A4s" Freddie would belt.

Live Aid is not overdubbed.
