Has anyone else noticed that listening to bohemian rhapsody from the rock Montreal album with broken headphones or a broken aux cord will sometimes cancel out the overdub vocals and instead you can clearly hear the vocals from the first night? i've attached an audio file that demonstrates this, the 1st track is the official release without modifications, the 2nd track is a recording i got with a broken aux cord that removed the after vocals, the 3rd track is from the first night of Montreal found on Gregsynthbootlegs channel found here link, the 4th track is a Semi-Acapella track for rock Montreal found here link, the 5th and 6th track is a demonstration basically showing that they used the first night for the balled section (which most people already know by now)
Rock section of Bo Rhap in Rock Montreal is one of the most absurd overdub in Queen live releases history. I remember when I was watching this release for the first time and the rock section starts and I was thinking 'What the hell. What is the point?'
My headphones have just broken 2 days ago and only one side is working so I can have some fun now!
This is basically removing the center channel, where Freddie's mic is mixed and letting you hear the original audio being picked up in John, Roger and the crowd's microphone.
Try it with Live At The Bowl and you might hear the patch up on 'locality'.
He's talking about the album, so i assume he's talking about audio only realese. As for the DVD's, i'm almost sure they don't have the center channel. It's a 4.1 mix, not 5.1.

What particular release version? I can't hear anything amiss

Okay, when you have something that is in stereo you have things mixed into different places on the stereo field, Freddies vocals will be dead centre, or "Center channel", the music will be more spread out across the spectrum.
Old cheap HiFi Systems sometimes used to have a button that did this labled "karaoke mode", Boken headphones will do the same, i think it basically cuts the mid frequencies .
It's got nothing to do with surround sound systems, but i can totally understand the confusion.
Yeah it's the 'mono' centre of a stereo mix. It makes sense that ambient live vocals would be reveal mixed wide in stereo picked up on other mics IE drum kit. I reported a similar broken headphone reveal on FBG. I could hear stuff not revealed even on the stems. Really wish I'd ripped it.

I'm reffering to Rock Montreal 2007. It's different take or different mix or whatever it is.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I'm curious. Is "Now I'm Here" partially vocally overdubbed on this video? Like the opening and those first few verses? His vocal tonality changed ever so slightly and the quality of the recording of his voice changed ever so slightly...its crisper and sounds like its sitting slightly above the mix like it was added later? Is this right?
