I've certainly nominated it to these:

-Earls Court 6/6/1977 (probably the best vocal solo of all time)
-Philadelphia 11/23/1977
-Stockholm 4/12/1978
-Glasgow 12/1/1979
-Hammersmith 12/26/1979
-Inglewood 7/12/1980
-Oakland 7/14/1980
-Buenos Aires 3/1/1981
-Monterrey 10/9/1981
-Puebla 10/17/1981
-Puebla 10/18/1981
-Montreal 11/25/1981 (In my opinion, this is the best version of all time musically)
-Leeds 5/29/1982
-Rock In Rio 1/12/1985 (Beautiful powerful intro and a vocal exchange with an audience of over 250,000
-Tokyo 5/8/1985
-Tokyo 5/9/1985

What do you think are the top 5? For me it'd be:

1. Montreal 11/25/1981
2. Rock In Rio 1/12/1985
3. Glasgow 12/1/1979
4. Hammersmith 12/26/1979
5. Buenos Aires 3/1/1981

Switch 12/1/1979 for 12/3/1979, and there you go! :D

I remember enjoying the Inglewood version from the ADATR tour.

For me this is one of the great unanswerable questions. Partly because Freddie did just superb versions of this song all the time from at least '79-'82, and partly because they were always different, so it's largely a matter of taste. I'll just put my 3 favorite versions, in chronological order:

Hammersmith '79
Montreal '81
Milton-Keynes '82

Yeah, the funny thing, is that the user who started this topic, is the same user who started the same topic in general discussion!

Wow. I didn't realize this was discussion was taking off in the General Discussion section. When I wrote this I totally forgot about the other one. Oh well, just answer this one as my list has changed.
