Looking for the best performance of this song live (where Freddie would hit those B4s.)

Freddie never went for the B4s. But Liverpool 1975 is a great version (probably the closest he gets to the record version). Hyde Park's is also great (love the embellishments)!

Hyde Park is also great? Are you on drugs?

Then a lot of Queenzone members are on drugs then. It's a good version.

I love the Hyde Park version! Its a odd side of Freddie's Voice

Sweet Lady seems to be one of those "love it or hate it" songs!

The middle part with the harmonies is beautiful. The ending is pure rock. The choruses are indeed very weak.

I love the Boston '76 version.

Didn't know cracks and off key singing were embellishments.

Apparently you missed the point. I'm one of the people who excuses minor errors live. If Freddie cracked a note. So what? If he hit bum notes. So what? Nobody's perfect.

There's people on Queenzone that like Freddie's weaker gigs (Vancouver 1978, Japan 1981, etc), because of his embellishments and note choices. You apparently don't see that.

The embellishments in question that I like on this version are the "bring me down" lines.
