3:03 He's dead.

Haha!

You're welcome!

Where do you hear C on the first line? He sings : it's(A) so easy(B) but i (A) can't(B) do it(A).

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

At around 8:20, he touches a C4 (which isn't in the key). On the first line (It's so easy--but I can't do it), he drops notes between Ab3 and A3 (which isn't right).

@Gregsynthbootlegs i don't hear it, in the first line all he sings ar As and Bs, which are in key. He doesn't do the right notes compared to the original version, ok, but notes out of key, that doesn't seem the case, actually i don't think freddie would ever sing out of key on purpose (i mean other than when he cracks).

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

I got absolute pitch, so I can hear if he's hitting notes that are either not in the key or out of tune. Freddie's voice was unstable in spots on this tour (especially the North American leg), so he would "waver" off notes from time to time. On the next tour, he fixed that problem!
