Any reason why Queen sang to a backing track for this peformance?
All the artists at the Montreux Golden Rose festival mimed, until The Cross became the first band to play live there in 1988
^ That's some kind of innovation that Queen should have done. A shame.
Don't forget my collection of demos and outtakes: http://goo.gl/uQARhn PM me if you want any [leaked] multitrack. Ya se ven los tigres en la lluvia.
Well, apart from nobody having sung live there by 1986, as inu-liger pointed out, you also have to remember that by then Queen were used to large open venues. Playing in a relatively closed and confined space wasn't really what they liked doing. Queen really don't work as a lip-synching band though - the performance looks too phony.
I've been wondering about this myself. "Phony" is a good choice of words, Costa86.

The vocal improv was live though, as was the speech before Hammer To Fall.
