Haha John gave a good 110% effort in the vocal harmonys between 74 when he got his mic for the triangle and 77 according to queen live when his mic was all but permanently turned down...

John is audible on quite some bootlegs. No, his voice wasn't great, but still. He can be heard very clearly on the Earls Court video (STL, ITLOTGR f.e.)
Do you think he mimed 'all day long' in Fred's mic? I don't think so. Why would you act in front of a live audience?

Fuck no totally agree with you rick I think the Milan 84 radio gaga...? Was proof! Every single one of those moments when he was at his mic... he was legitimately singing! And his mic was never turned off... Just real low, an example was in south America. You could just hear a whisper when Freddie sung into it when he had mic problems..
You could almost describe his Milan and somebody to love at earls voice as a squeaky high pitch almost falsetto hence why I feel you never really hear him in in the all day long bits. The visible effort he puts into that part, something is coming out of his mouth...!
It is like Israel and it's nuclear weapons. They never confirm or denied having them just like Roger and Brian never confirm or deny that John sings... But there is legit proof that Israel has weapons and that john dose sing!

Live, the early stuff up to about 79 was great, but rather annoyingly on nearly every live release they have put out, the backing vocals are always (for me) mixed way too quietly, and Brian is always especially low in the mix. Really frustrating. However, hopefully The Rainbow is looking to be an exception based on the clips released so far. Once they got to the Works and Magic tours 80s it tended to be that Roger was covering Freddie's parts when his voice wouldn't hit the top notes, and so instead of Fred signing the studio lead line and Roger doing a high harmony it tended to be Roger singing the high studio line and Fred taking a lower harmony.
In the early days, the studio harmonies were very Roger-heavy, but as the years went on Brian's harmonies on record got higher in the mix, and Roger's lower. (examples usually being Brian's own songs such as 'I Can't Live with You', 'The Show Must Go On', 'Headlong')

The Israeli genocide of the Palestinians is getting way out of hand now.

Odd popping up here.. but the mentioned genocide oddly results in the highest birthrate...
