Overdubs XD

What I don't get is why certain parts of the 2nd Wembley show HAD to be overdubbed. Like the One Vision performance was fine without the overdubs and Who Wants To Live Forever didn't need them.


I haven't even heard the untouched version of WWTLF (2nd Night). What did they temper with on that?

It's of course easy to hear that Freddie's voice was totally fried after the 1st Wembley concert. It's so much different on the 2nd night. Sounds like he didn't sleep and just drank lots of alcohol and smoked tons of cigarettes after the first concert...

He was suffering from a cold (which doesn't help) and went all out on songs the first night (not to mention the post-gig party). He basically did the 2nd Wembley show with a semi-shot voice.

For WWTLF, BradMay pointed out the overdubbed C5 and Freddie re-sang a few bits (before the guitar solo and during the chorus parts).

That same guy that said "No, its not autotune... his voice did hit those notes pitch perfect" was pretty arrogant when i let him hear those 2 sources.

His awnser now was:

"Its no autotune dude, its from another night.. or it has been overdubbed "
Are people really that stupid?.. If it sounds too good to be true, it most of the time IS.
This doesn`t sound like an overdub to me, and it doesn`t sound like from another night (This is the only time i hear him do that exact phrasing) And it sounds robotic..
Sounds like the guy needs a new set of ears :)

Yeah... Later on a guy told me " In 1990 when it was released you didnt have stuff like pitch corrections, so its an overdub "
And i was like "Dude... you know that the Friday night wasnt intended to be released? So they didnt do overdubs?, and when they released it they brushed off the rough spots.. and you know how?... with Melodyne, atleast .. i`m quite certain they did it with Melodyne"

Really..

And telling me that it was an overdub from another concert, seems to me like bullcrap... really? He didnt use that phrasing on other shows on the Magic Tour...
It's the only time he's done an A4 on that line, so it's obviously not from another night, and they obviously didn't overdub it.
Obviously, it's legit, as we hear it on the audience source....
