So, you caught that too? And when played backwards it says "Capone is a tool, best was never made when lay to rest Freddie Rainbow release in 2017"
Did you mean Kapone, as in the snake-haired lady, or Capone, the guy who I was dreaming I was earlier this morning?

I´m glad you´ve posted this video, because this is the only time i hear Freddie´s voice so clear in the mix at 0:31- 0:36.
Until now i`ve allways thought that it was Brian´s guitar with a slide burried in the mix.
As far as this song never being played live, my theory is that it was to personal for Brian. I believe he said that it was writen for Argentina - or Argentinian fans- so i think of this song as a love letter to that country.
And considering the political environment in that country at that time- as well in other South American countries as Brazil- and the way they welcomed Queen, it´s impossible not to "fall in love" with them. Very passionate fans, and i don´t believe that the other countries would understsand or at least guive back to the band on stage the energy that Brian would expect on this number.
To put it simply, for other countries it would be just another ballad, a beautifull song. But for Argentina it would be an Hymn or an anthem. Maybe Brian didn´t want to cheap out the meaning of this song, because other audiences would not do justice to it. But this is a great song indeed.
