Neither artists had time to do rehearsels for it.

What confuses me is that during the gospel inspired part there seems to be some different vocals from Freddie than the ones on the album track.

according to Montserrat's biography, Freddie supposedly got cold feet... but that's her biographer's version.

Actually, that is not correct. Freddie didn't sing live simply because he never intended to, Barcelona was never supposed to be sung live, it's too complicated for that.

Barcelona would not have been a song Freddie could've gotten perfect on several dates of a long tour.
But when you listen to the 3 songs he did in '88 with Cliff Richard, his voice is in great form and he does get very high. I believe he could've done Barcelona great justice live, if it were a one-off show.
