I remember him saying a few words on the Tribute Concert. He also used to sing along in the harmonies. Except from this, has John ever said anything during a Queen concert? |
| vinny2256_ 30.11.2005 19:07 |
He never sang with queen live i dont think. the mic was just there for symmetry. |

I've seen this picture of the tribute concert where Brian, Roger and John are standing in front of microphones and they seem to be singing. Since I only have the DVD of the show, I don't know what happens in that part (it only features briefly in the intro). What is happening in this particular part? Wiley |
| Sherwood Forest 30.11.2005 20:04 |
during The Tribute Concert he was talking but it kinda sounded like Brian and Roger were making him Brian was like and John has something to say too- something like that |
| liam 30.11.2005 23:52 |
yeh and everyone cheered loudest for john when he talked, that made me happy. |

"Hello, first of all, Brian, Roger and myself would like to thank all the artists who are performing here today, in London, and they've given their time and energy to make this tribute to Freddie a reality, and to happen today. First of all, the show must go on, and we'll start with an American band, three times Grammy award winners, will you please welcome Metallica!" |

It could be Spike Edney |
| A Word In Your Ear 01.12.2005 09:27 |
Serry, i've seen Spike Edney with the SAS band sing lead vocals & he actually sings in tune. Also Spike sings backing vocals (in tune) on the 2005 tour. so I tend to think it's John, (I could be wrong though.) It could be Spike having a bad day. Don't Shun it, Fun it!!! |

my first post here... if you remember the concert - Live at the rainbow 1974 (will host it if ya want), he sings in the song 'Lair' |
| deleted user 01.12.2005 11:54 |
Sorry to disappoint you all - it's not John Deacon ! This is taken from an audience recorded bootleg - it's a member of the audience singing 8-) , if you want proof get hold of the 2 x bootleg CD "We will love you , a tribute to Freddie " 1992 , skeleton records . This version of Radio Ga Ga is from milan 1984 . |
| The Real Wizard 01.12.2005 12:00 |
For the 1002nd time, that Milano 84 mp3 is Spike singing! John's voice isn't nearly so high. Just because John is at the mic doesn't mean he's actually singing! The only time John ever sang live was duringo Somebody To Love on the A Day At The Races tour. That's IT. Nothing more. But to answer the original question: The only time I've heard John *say* anything during a Queen concert is on the Houston 77 soundboard. He is the first one to say "thank you" after the band play Bohemian Rhapsody. |
| deleted user 01.12.2005 12:34 |
I remember John over Freddie's shoulder singing. |
| mystic_rhythms 01.12.2005 12:40 |
As it was mentioned earlier, John is heard on some live performances of Liar. During the "all day long" part, I remember hearing that John's voice can be heard pretty clearly, can someone confirm this? |
| chewing gum bum 01.12.2005 12:46 |
Ah, the mystery continues on John and his voice. Johns' mic was "live" during concerts but probably kept lower than the others' mics. Roger used it during the acoustic sets and a video of the band in South America has Freddie using it when his own mic cut out on him. I've seen them twice and he never uttered a word at those gigs. |

He's singing over Fred's shoulder - definately the Deakster! Peace Jim |

| FriedChicken 01.12.2005 13:35 |
*sigh* there are NO clear recordings of John singing. And yes he did sing very rarely on concerts, but the volume was always very low. You can only hear him a bit in mid 70's recordings of Somebody to Love where he sings in the acapella part |
| Rick 01.12.2005 14:21 |
If you listen carefully, you can hear John sing on many parts during the Earls Court 1977 show. For example, he does backing vocals on In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited. First, you can hear Freddie, Brian and Roger. And eventually, you can see John walk to the microphone and he joins them. At that moment, you can hear a 4th voice singing, it's John. |

For years, I've been hoping Brian's voice didn't sound this bad, and now I can be happy that it's not, as I now think you're right - it's John. |
| NOTWMEDDLE 02.12.2005 00:57 |
He is clearly on Somebody to Love in Earls Court and Houston singing the lowest part. ITLotG and Liar on Earls Court has the Deakster as well. Houston, has Deakster on StL as well as Liar(if you can hear clear enough) and slow WWRY. |
| Rick 02.12.2005 09:29 |
You can even see John sing on WATC during the Houston show, that's quite unusual. |
| The Real Wizard 02.12.2005 12:17 |
So then, basically, every time you hear vocal harmonies and you need to cover your ears because they sound so bad, it's either John or Spike singing. Now I get it! |

I heard he once interrupted a performance of Brian's guitar solo by running out onto the stage, bringing the microphone to his ass and ripping a monstrous fart during a quieter part of the solo. If so, then his ass has said more live than his mouth ever did. Confirm / deny? |

It was The Fart Heard Round The World. Unfortunately, it was this fart that caused a huge rift in Brian and John's working relationship (their friendship was already on the rocks), and Brian later unofficially dedicated 'Tear It Up' to John, for obvious reasons. And, contrary to popular belief, 'Hammer To Fall' was not about the threat of nuclear war, but of Mr. Deacon again - and 'Keep Passing The Open Windows' not of suicide, but a desperate plea to get some air in the room. The Works was titled as such because it's rumored that was what John ordered on his pizza the night of the infamous fart. |
| Serry... 03.12.2005 02:51 |
Now I'm afraid to imagine even what are John's "Pain is so close to pleasure", Freddie's "Don't try so hard" and Roger's "Ride the wild wind" about... |

Why is everyone so desperate to prove John sang, when, given all the information and quotes and album booklets we have etc points to one answer... he didn't. And even so, with all this apparent evidence of him singing about four different times over a good twenty-odd years - why only sing once or twice? What made these certain shows more special than the others? And why only these couple of songs? Surely if he can do harmonies with the others on STL and ITLOTGR, then why not in the majority of the other songs too? |

*sigh* Yes. John DID sing. He sang on Radio Ga GA in Milan, he always sang Liar over Freddie's shoulder, and he also sang Somebody to Love in the 70's |

he sings loads of songs, including radio ga ga, somebody to love etc etc etc etc so shut up bout it |

I'm still pretty sure that Ga Ga at Milano is Spike, not John. |
