There are indeed some cracking performances out there!

But isnt it during Liar at Houston that something weird happens like Brian breaks a string, and theres a massive pause before the clean guitar comes in leading to "I have sinned.....", presumably to change guitars?

It's just fantastic!

I'd have to say STL from On Fire. Freddie is amazing & the rest of the band is clearly hitting their stride. If asked to play one song to represent an example of live Queen, I would put this on everytime.

There are many highlights, but somehow Tokyo 01.05.1975 brings nice feelings to me. What a killer setlist!

Roger compensated very well for Brian's broken string ... and it sounded to me like sort of a "mystical" transition from the instrumental to the vocals.

Well, since I am, as yet, bootleg ignorant, I must list those that are availabe to me, via DVD or, lovely youtube:

Son and Daugher March 1974 Rainbow

Medley, Rainbow, 1974

White Queen, Rainbow, 1974

Liar Houston '77

Somebody To Love Milton Keynes

Save Me Montreal

Bo Rhap/GaGa Live Aid

Who Wants To LIve Forever/Budapest

So many...can't imagine what I am missing being bootleg oblivious.
It is all random
The est gig I heard must be Newcastle 79, second night. I'd be thrilled if a sbd of that night is in the QP_vault. Or better, came out of it.

You mean the performance of "Save Me" where Freddie forgets the words? Look at the official video closely, and notice the "oh SH*T!" look that comes over his face a split second before he rushes through "The slate will soon be cleaned." A hilarious moment, no doubt, but there were better performances of the song out there.

In fact, the only songs where I can say to my satisfaction that the best performance is found on an official video are "Somebody to Love" (from the Bowl, just a beautiful rendition) and "Hammer to Fall" (from Live Aid, and even then I hesitate--they didn't play the whole song!).

Most of the "definitive" live performances of the band's songs can be heard, in my opinion, on the Crazy and Game tours, when Freddie's voice was at its absolute peak.
