Robert Plant used to do a brief call & response with the crowd during Black Dog with Ah Ah, AH AH... [/QUOTE]

True, but it's not the same as improvised sing-alongs :)

When the crowd started to sing this? I've just checked the first performance in 1971 and Plant was doing all that part alone.

It was a on a uk tv show in the early seventies and they were playing a fast tempo song. I'll try and find it.

Not quite a Freddie vocal improv but Status Quo's 'Dirty Water' with a call and response.

Call and response in the blues is said to have origins in Africa, and brought over with the slaves.

^That's interesting. Status Quo were close friends with Queen so they might have been inspired by Freddie vocal improvs.

^^ Thanks Dr Magus!
