Call me slow for not seeing this before, but did anyone notice on staying power(GVHII) John is seen playing a telecaster 6 string guitar...i guess for the twangy funky choppy parts of the song. Hmmm, i wonder if he ever played regular guitar on any other queen songs live?

It was kind of odd to see him and brian both playing electric guitars together on stage simultaneously! This was because the bass was synthesized. Cool!
Freddie: "Yes, we'll have a great big cock fly over the crowd!" Roadies: "Yeah! Great Idea!" Freddie: "And it will fly into a great big mouth with a moustache!"

Yep, pretty cool. He still acts like a bass playter, though :)

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.

Actually I, like many Queen fans, noticed this all those years ago when it was first shown on Channel 4's The Tube. Still, this song is far better live than the studio cut.
