I watched the Seth Rogan film "Observe And Report" last night and was pleasently surprised to see one of my favourite Queen songs being played, "It's Late". What I would like to know, is that are there any alternative versions of this great song, as the song in the film sounded a little different? I am not talking about the way the song was cut, edited and spliced together, as this was obvioulsy done purely for the scene that the song was in and was only required for about 2 minutes but it sounds very raw, not as polished as the album version. Any help would be appreciated, guys. "I'll Face It With A Grin, I'm Never Giving In. On With The Show... The Show Must Go On!!!"

The first two scenes in this clip feature It's Late and The Hero respectively. The Hero sounds the same to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKKHv-j8R2c Property Of Queen Productions...

Is it in the original theatrical version? It's late, but it's time to set me free It's late, yes I know but there's no way it has to be Too late, so let the fire take our bodies this night So late, so let the waters take our guilt in the t
