What do you think is the best live performance of any Queen song

only performed by Queen though and not any Queen + stuff

Get Down Make Love and the transition to The Millionaire Waltz - Houson, 1977.

Also... Is this the world we created...? - Live Magic

Staying Power - Milton Keynes '82
Against all the odds after being slaughtered for the album they pulled it off brilliantly - one of my best memories of any gig I've been to..

Radio Ga Ga live aid. Hands down.

Yeah, that Radio Ga Ga from Live Aid is ridiculous!

Here's another nominee for best live performance of a Queen song:

It's A Hard Life from Brussels 1984 (It's the closest you'll get to the studio version)!

Hammer to fall - On the Wembley 86 DVD - Excellent!

I Love Teo Torriate In Japan 82,Its on disc 2 of Live at the bowl

Haha definitely not teo torriate from tokorzawa 1982.

What's wrong with that version? :D

Freddie shows a lot of energy during the Hammer to Fall performance at Wembley but i do love Radio Gaga and Crazy Little Thing Called Love at Live Aid

I would also put Somebody To Love and Play The Game from Live At The Bowl up near the top as well

yeah, not half ! - even though most fans were still in shock at the slant towards 'Funk', there was simply nobody on the planet to come up with this performance. Absolutely brilliant, and the cheek of Freddie vocalizing the trumpet parts- i thought the musicians unions would have been down on him like a ton of bricks.

I remember Fred announcing it at the end of his 'only a bloody record' speech and immediately thinking that it was an unlikely live choice because of it's studio trickery but I needn't have worried as the live arrangement bought the dynamics of the track out perfectly and they were so on the money it wasn't true.

The other thing I remember is £5 for a carton of orange juice. Yes 5 - in 1982!!

Crazy Little Thing on SNL is fucking awesome!

Staying Power is much more awesome on Leeds '82 than on Milton Keynes '82. That's one heck of a song live.
Play the game is also better on Leeds '82 show, heck I also prefer Somebody to love from this show.
Queen's 80's song in particular were much better live (Hot Space songs in particular).

I also love these:
Great King Rat performed in full. 1st May 1975 Tokyo, Japan.
Dragon Attack. This I love from Milton Keynes '82.
Stone Cold Crazy. Rainbow '75.
Ogre Battle. Hammersmith '79.
White Man. Earl's Court '77.
