It's great the way he criticises the use of backing tapes but fails to say that they are not on stage when they are used.

To be fair, they actually did for We Will Rock You at the beginning of the show.

I'd kill for good sounding tapes of them. These are some of the best shows they ever played.

yes that's true. must admit i had forgotten that. But it must be said that reading that review he does make it seem like baking tapes were in use for a great deal more than that.
