<P> Starting with the A Day at the Races Tour in 1977 , the band adopted their lasting way of playing the song live . The opening ballad would be played on stage , and after Brian May 's guitar solo , the lights would go down , the band would leave the stage , and the operatic section would be played from tape , while coloured stage lights provided a light show based around the voices of the opera section . A blast of pyrotechnics after Roger Taylor 's high note on the final `` for me '' would announce the band 's return for the hard rock section and closing ballad . Queen played the song in this form all through the Magic Tour of 1986 . This style was also used for the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert , with Elton John singing the opening ballad and then after the taped operatic section , Axl Rose singing the hard rock section . John and Rose sang the closing ballad part together in a duet . </P>
