what a live band
deacon for the band
One of my favourites is Oakland 14/7/80. The entire band has an incredible night. Brian's solo's are fantastic and Bohemian Rhapsody, Death on two legs and Need your lovin' tonight are all incredible(like I said, the whole show is incredible). freddie's vocals in Killer Queen are very nice too. The recording has great sound quality too:-) The Bohemian solo was always great but here it's so clean and perfect,at least to my (not so good) ears:-)

There  are also some not so great sounding recordings that were recorded at amazing shows. Tokyo 8/5/85 is a good example but there are actually too many shows to name in this category. One of the bad sounding ones I'd really like to hear in much better quality because of the great performance and atmosphere is Paris 1/3/79. And of course the Crazy tour shows...if there were only more recordings of that tour too!
on my way up
How about Rock It and Need Your Lovin´Tonight in Buenos Aires?.
Heap big woman you made an asshole outta me....gimme your bums and ride!!!!!!
I'd say Rock It was better at Chandler 1980.
[/QUOTE]Bohemian Rhapsody at Wembley is VERY far from the best version. I'd easily rate Glasgow and Newcastle 1979 over it, among other versions. [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Freddie nails Somebody To Love at Oakland 1980, though. He hits all of the full voice high notes in the verses, and starts to sing falsetto several times when the chorus comes back in. Some say Who Wants To Live Forever from Wembley is the best one, but let's remember it's heavily overdubbed, along with One Vision and We Are The Champions. I think the version from Stockholm is better. [/QUOTE]
