I think it was a full band performance, with John on acoustic and bass, Brian on electric and Freddie on piano. Backing track was probably Brian's guitar plus John's bass plus Rog's drums and perhaps Fred's piano.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
Perhaps :)
The big tempo change is mainly between the acoustic part and the full band part. I guess the two were recorded separately.
Or Rog was just going 'POW!' in his mind when he got to that bit.
