That's where you have a quieter prerecorded vocal just behind the live vocal in parts so it's not as noticeable if you miss a note or anything. But this does look like Lambert is full on mining.

It's not a backing track they use it's a vocoder type thing that Spike uses (he explained about it in a video it's on Y/tube) where it doubles up the vocals for a fuller sound but live not recorded. This just looks like the track they would use for setting up all the lights, cue's and lasers etc was activated when obviously it shouldn't have been. There were issues getting the sound sorted at rehearsal and then the previous artist ran on longer and the stage was still being set up as Rami was introducing them, far different than their normal tour when they've plenty time to iron out everything and check the equipment properly. As Dysan said Adam's the last person to need lip sync.

Just to clarify the explanation on the other thread, is it this?: "The backing track was used for the technicians during pre-show set up but accidentally played the same time as the background screen video"

Vocal harmony wrote: The simple answer would be that production rehearsals are sometimes filmed and very often audio recorded. This was a major televised event, in case of live sound drop out they had a recording of the songs they were playing which was switched in by mistake. There is no audible difference in the rest of the performance. An obvious thing to have as a backing track would be a second guitar to privide a fuller sound when Brian is soloing, this doesn't happen. Another would be for the solos in part or whole to be "on tape" this again doesn't happen Brian changes what he plays more often than a lot of people realise and he makes mistakes, so he is live. If they were using tapes they wouldn't need a percussionist, Roger could play just the basics while a recording did the rest. He is quite obscured by his kit. Spike and Neil are accomplished players too. Vocally they have more voices available than they had originally to cover backing vocals. As for the lead vocals, one of the complaints about Lambert is that he keeps changing the phrasing, timing and delivery of the melody, if he was lip syncing that wouldn't be the case.
