Yes, it must have been playback.
Or did anyone see a microphone at Freddie?
Montserrat as a classic singer can easily fill any space with her voice but Freddie wasn't schooled in this.
And to be honest, they should have given him his micro stand to act with, his gestures are a bit like a singer in an old silent movie.
But the music is really great!

Forget it! Invisible mics aren't invented yet...*g*
Some nice guys of another forum (about band equipment) gave this video a look and all say it's a full playback, otherweise Freddie and Montserrat would had got a hairdrying from the orchestra behind them...*ggg*

Freddie is a rocker at heart, but this proves his, um, 'quality'.
And you can see theres a few singers in the back, they add the "barcelonaaaa", so Freddy can do his line eventho you hear that in the background.
I dunno, but unless someone has credible proof that this is playback Im not believing it.

Hi Jogatamudo:
Freddie was sadly ill at that time with full-blown AIDS and, though trough strong medication could record many more songs, he never returned to the stage, 'cause he was falling on his legs.
The proof of vital force of this man is the only thing than can exceed his superb and unique talent.
He hated playback (look at what he did in San Remo Festival when he was forced to sing in playback).
Regards.

This is lip-synced, I'm afraid. The instruments - at least some of them - maybe aren't aren't, but the singing definitely is, both Caballe's and Mercury's.
There are no mikes (not even those classical music ones you've seen so often in front of Pavarotti and the likes), and the voices are 100% identical to what they are on the record. Plus, the chorus bit (Freddie singing "Barcelona") still has typical studio overlays & effects in it that you just cannot recreate live.

Yes it is lip synced but the reason behind this was that Freddie was not well.
But my god what a song, gets the old hairs up on the back of the neck, a real powerful cataclismic record of biblical proportion

This is actually one of my favorite songs with Freddie. It's absolutly breathtaking and I always end up crying at the end. And he's a real performer, because he gives no show of his desise. And he is really, really sick. Freddie will always be my inspiration.
