Killer Queen and You're My Best Friend. I've never heard a version of the latter which I could even tolerate. Freddie seemed to have issues singing both songs live, and the rest of the band never seemed to get with the program, either.

Very nice, though I'm the odd man out in that I enjoyed the live performances of this song. It seems as if it would be difficult to perform live, yet I was always surprised at how effective their performances were, particularly given that Freddie's voice was not always at its best during this tour, in my opinion.

Well, WWTLF is a totally different song if you compare it from studio to live: In the live performances, you can't get the orchestra part, all the overdubs, etc. It sounds like a suspenseful rock song live--while in the studio, it sounds like an emotional power ballad.
Freddie's voice was excellent in the first few gigs of the tour, and was still fairly strong throughout (save a few gigs). I would rather listen to his weaker Magic voice over his weaker Works Tour voice (which has some of his absolute worst performances as a live singer).
I agree that Queen performed their stuff effectively live!
