I have one of those strange flashbulb  memories of being 13 years old and hanging out in this seedy arcade, eating a bag of sour cream and onion chips while pumping quarters into the jukeox to play "Need Your Loving' and 'Don't Try Suicide' in heavy rotation. Ah.  Queen, Galaga, Space Invaders and a hot hand on the foosball table. Good times.

Indeed.  Hands down, it's the best live version on tape.  Here's the whole recording if you're interested:

Too bad they didn't play this song on more than a few tours. What a good song, and in my opinion John's best composition!

Thanks for the links Sir GH! Man, Freddie was REALLY on top during that era. Wish the cigarettes didn't fuck his timbre up.

Unbelievable!!!

I'm not enough on an expert on queen concerts to do this but wouldn't it be good to have a thread with the best live versions of each song?  Perhaps this already exists but I'm interested as I haven't heard that many bootlegs.

you'll find a top 10 list

Fantastic vocals without a doubt!
Minor stuff up on guitar at approx 1:13 where Brian plays the wrong chord, but all's good it's an honest human performance unlike some others these days!

This is one of Freddie's top performances.

The way he deliveres almost every song in this concert is pretty impressive.

And I am very fond of this song. : -))) It made for such a nice live number.

Freddie's golden period was during that time! What if he singed NYLT at Live Aid?

I imagine if he had sung it at live aid he would have altered the high notes like he did with other songs.

Respectfully disagree Angeline: I think Freddie would NAIL that song at Live AID. He replicated Radio Ga Ga, He got the B4 on Hammer to Fall, and he got the C5 on Champions. I think he could do it!
