    As a rock guitarist myself, who recently attempted this with an orchestra.... I especially love Richie's subtle and smooth embellishments on the 1st solo and the care that was put into the beautiful guitar harmonies of the 2nd solo. Most bands miss that, skip it, or do not care. Harmonies whether vocal or instrumental, are a lost art and are one way great musicians set themselves apart from the rest....

    All the Queen live performances I've seen (on KZread) also have the recorded "operatic section" played on the PA, while the stage goes dark and the band leaves, and they come back with a bang, playing the next section live and the lights back on

    That was absolutely amazing. Being a cover musician, I understand how difficult it is to execute this song live. The sampled center section harmonies sounded "live" as well. You are a very talented and resourceful band. Now you need to find a way to play some bigger shows and make some money with your talent!

    Lots of overdubs and replacement performances. Not complaining, every live band today uses “supplemental accompaniment” in the way of pre-recorded tracks played by a computer and followed by playing to a click track. These guys don’t play to a click, so added vocals and some guitar replacements had to happen after. Still great, heck..amazing, (try re-recording Bohemian Rhapsody sometime..lol) but not as it sounded in the room. Great video.
