So far, all of the so-called evidence for a planned double-album has come from people who weren't there, and none of the eye witnesses or people involved with the project (the band, the engineer, the technicians) has ever confirmed - to my knowledge- said rumour.
So an unsubstatiated rumour it remains to me... should sound evidence ever come to my attention claiming the contrary, I'll be happy to stand corrected, but until then, I remain sceptical.[/QUOTE]

But there was little or no airplay of SYW in North America, and Queen changed to the studio version early in the North American tour.
I wonder if John was not particularly fond of the fast ending, as it changes the mood of the song, and put his foot down as the writer's "perogative".

Yeah, perhaps that was the case.
But they definitely did the BBC style ending throughout the US tour. It's on the Philadelphia and New York recordings.

When did Queen switch to the slow version? ... some time after Dec 1st?
