<Li> David Bowie--lead and backing vocals, synthesizer, handclaps, finger snaps </Li> <P> The September 2005 edition of online music magazine Stylus singled out the bassline as the best in popular music history . In November 2004, Stylus music critic Anthony Miccio commented that "Under Pressure" "is the best song of all time" and described it as Queen's "opus". In 2012, Slant Magazine listed "Under Pressure" as the 21st best single of the 1980s . </P> <P> Although very much a joint project, only Queen incorporated the song into their live shows at the time . Bowie chose not to perform the song before an audience until the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, when he and Annie Lennox sang it as a duet (backed by the surviving Queen members). However, after Mercury's death and the Outside tour in 1995, Bowie performed the song at virtually every one of his live shows, with bassist Gail Ann Dorsey taking Mercury's vocal part . The song also appeared in set lists from A Reality Tour mounted by Bowie in 2004, when he frequently would dedicate it to Freddie Mercury . Queen + Paul Rodgers have recently performed the song; and in summer of 2012, Queen + Adam Lambert toured, including a performance of the song by Lambert and Roger Taylor in each show . While David Bowie was never present for a live performance of the song with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor instead filled for backing vocals usually in unison with Mercury, as Mercury took over all of Bowie's parts . </P> <Ul> <Li> Queen first recorded a live version of the song at The Montreal Forum in Canada on 24 November 1981 . This was included in the concert films We Will Rock You and Queen Rock Montreal . Incidentally it is one of the few times in concert where Mercury used falsetto in the song on the line "these are the days it never rains but it pours". </Li> <Li> A second live version of the song was recorded at Milton Keynes, England, in 1982 . This was released in 2004 on the live album / DVD Queen on Fire - Live at the Bowl . Prior to the concert, rumours circulated that Bowie would appear with Queen to sing his parts onstage, but it is probable that he did not even attend the concert . </Li> <Li> In September 1982 the band performed the song during an appearance on the eighth - season premiere of Saturday Night Live, which turned out to be Freddie Mercury's final live performance with Queen in the United States . </Li> <Li> Later, Queen recorded a third live version of the song at Wembley Stadium, London, in 1986 . This was released on the live album / DVD Live at Wembley Stadium . Another rendition from this same tour (from Queen's concert in Budapest) appeared in edited form on the album Live Magic in 1986 . A recording taken from Queen's last gig in Knebworth Park in 1986, appears, albeit in remixed form, as a B - side from second CD single of "Rah Mix" version of this song, released in 1999 . (See below) </Li> <Li> During the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, the surviving members of Queen along with Bowie and Annie Lennox (filling in for Mercury) performed the song . The concert was later released on DVD in 2002 for the 10th anniversary . </Li> <Li> A version recorded by David Bowie's live band in 1995 was released on the bonus disc included with some versions of Outside--Version 2 . This live version was also released on the single "Hallo Spaceboy" in 1996 . </Li> <Li> Bowie's DVD A Reality Tour (2004) and album A Reality Tour (2010) include a November 2003 live version from the A Reality Tour, recorded in Dublin, with Bowie's bassist Gail Ann Dorsey singing Mercury's parts . </Li> <Li> The 2006 VH1 Rock Honors at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, featured Queen + Paul Rodgers performing "Under Pressure" along with "The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" as a live broadcast . </Li> </Ul>
