Here is an mp3 WWRY from Milwaukee that was shared on QZ

Haha....yeah, but it doesn't bother me who is helping with the backing vocals of the chorus...
And they have recorded clapping...
It sounds like the chorus of the studio version of We Will Rock You, what a shame...they put it on a tape...
YV: I thought throughout much of the tour that the chorus sounded very similar to the WWRY stage production version. I don't remember when I first noticed it. I thought it sounded like there were some extra voices, some of them female, and all of them were too good and too audible to be the few good singers in the audience.
But . . . the hand claps and foot stomps that got the audience going for the encore were brilliant, and totally made the crowd a part of the moment. This I heard for the first time in Washington, DC.

Agreed. It was a terrific moment, the way it was slowly faded in, building the anticipation for the band to come back on stage. Very theatrical, very nice.

And how about the harmonies at the beginning of FBG totally canned - they never sounded that good in their prime - listen to Roger on some of the old boots from that era & listen to him now...hmmm - Big time Bands have been doing this for some time -

I wonder why, on this 2006 tour, they are playing over a backing track on "We Will Rock You?" They didn't do it on the 2005 tour. You can understand Roger Singing over a backing track on "'Days of Our Lives" & "Ga Ga". Freddie's Vocal on "Bo Rhap" is ok. But Why on "Rock You????"
Do we, Europeans sing louder during the chorus & don't need the backing track? Any Ideas Anyone?

I did not see your message AWIYE and I did not notice the tape recorded chorus until last night - just incredible. I don't know why they used it, they should be able to sing it live.
As to the FBG and IWIA harmonies - I thought from the start that they are from tape and not live. Brian May claimed they are live but now I don't believe that anymore.

Well, I'll be damned...
Well, YV, I also DID mention it once or twice before ;-)
Yes, indeed they use the footstomping/handclaping from the studioversion and also the chorus vocals straight from the record. Including Freddies voice!
The FBG intro, I still DO believe is done live.
These are the days still has computer programmed percussion as does GaGa
I'm not sure about the US, but in Europe there have been some shows where they played a tape over the chorus of WATC with the f%g&* musical cast!!
AND let's not forget -again I am not sure about USA, have to check the recordings- but at least in Europe they played a LIVE track of GSTQ (probably from Live at Wembley) with a MASSIVE crowd singing along. ;-)
Until Brian remastered the 'new' version. They played that one at the EU open air shows.

Why not?
They are with six singing people onstage, compared to four in the early days.
