What is the best live version of Another One Bites The Dust (Debate Topic)

For me,is the performance on the Montreal in 1981,basically if you are watching the video you forget all the vocal details,Freddie sure give a great performance on stage,he can easily...turn you on for real!

Yeah, gotta love Freddie's outfit during Montreal 1981 (the short shorts)!

Frejus 1986 is another awesome version--not only does the improv sound awesome, but Freddie aces B4s (as usual during the tour), but he actually hits that "standing on my own two FEET" B4! Pretty neat and rare!

I've always had a soft spot for this version. The band are playing really tight and Freddie looks so camp in that robe. The Stadthalle shows have always been great.  V.

That's an awesome version. That's probably the best one on the whole Hot Space Tour!

I'd consider this my favourite version. Freddie nails the majority of the high notes, as you said the band are really tight, the rapport with the audience is excellent. Yeah, my favourite, or one of them anyway. ;-)

Vienna is a favorite of mine! Another excellent (and creative) version has to be Hamburg! Hamburg has to be one of the most underrated gigs on the tour!

This version is also interesting: That first of the song (the first verse and chorus), has to be the closest to the record version I've heard. The phrasing is pretty close!

This one is probably my favorite on the North American 1980 leg. Very nice guitar work by Brian, and some very interesting phrasing by Freddie!

Love when Brian uses his guitar harmoniser for the middle of this song. Much better than GDML.

Wow, you're right about Freddie. He's very 'into' it this particular night, isn't he?

Yeah, it's really nice when he's in the 4th octave (along with Roger)! Shame it's an incomplete recording of Providence! Someone on Youtube made a very good comment about Providence's Dust:

"This is? maybe the best version that i've ever heard.. I
talk about high notes and range very often, but what is really important
is the timbre and voice's beauty..
And here Dr. May did a wonderfull work in the first verse!"

A major upgrade to Providence '80 is going to come out soon ... stay tuned !

Fuck yes!

You're gonna love this one.  It's not quite in Milwaukee or Chicago territory, but you'll be pleased.

Well, it's the best we've got! And any upgrade to an existing concert is always great!

Imagine the New York 1980 concerts in that quality! :D
