For those of you who believe John Deacon does indeed sing. And I mean REALLY SING! (not just stand in front of a microphone lypsynching). I have a question:

On which track (either studio or live) can you spot John Deacon singing?

You know, good times are now.
none. but on Dead On Time - they were allegedly going to use a different ending - they just got John to la-la-la a middle C,

unfortunately his "la-la-las" were too close to the sound of a cat trapped in a bandsaw, and animal cruelty brigade insisted they change the ending - hence the thunderbolt

I feel that Johnny boy was responsible for the marijuana shit on AOBTD. I sense it very strongly.
to add a serious reply:
at the famous Earls Court gig (6 June 1977), during 'somebody to love'.

I heard that his mic wasn't even turned on most of the time.

MOST, but not all the time.
Enigmatic, isn't it?
"to add a serious reply:

- I remember the first time I heard that, just sitting there dumbstruck for a bit thinking "I swear there were four voices there", then listening to it over and over again and realising that you could hear Johnny-boy going for it, crystal clear.

I felt like I'd discovered the holy grail of Queen music.

Its hard to tell whether what he's singing is actually going through the desk or not. He could have just been mixed low and blended in with the other 3 to add a BIT of depth.
I payed attention to Somebody To Love in Earls Court carefully some time ago, and I couldn't hear John...

Well pay more attention next time, young man!

He's there, clear as can be, in the middle singalong section, doing the lowest part of "Find, me, somebody to love, Find, me, somebody to love...".

No doubt about it.

Talking about live vocals, I even cannot hear Brian's voice... It is always Fred and Roger. Who is willing to give me some live songs where I can clearly hear Brian...
Keep 'em mowing blades sharp!
Just about any live 'Tie Your Mother Down'...distinctly audible.

Brian's was the softer one, I think.
Roger's voice was a bit rough.
