Perhaps I am in the minority hre, but I always preferred Brian singing 39 over Freddie and wished he had sung it live so sooner.
(The first time I heard him sing the song from start to finish without introducing band members etc was on Return of the Champions).

To be honest, a lot of their songs sounded better live.
Keep Yourself Alive Doing All Right White Queen In The Lap Of The Gods Stone Cold Crazy In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited '39 Love Of My Life Tie Your Mother Down You Take My Breath Away Somebody To Love We Are The Champions We Will Rock You Spread Your Wings Let Me Entertain You Dreamer's Ball Another One Bites The Dust Crazy Little Thing Called Love Calling All Girls Action This Day Staying Power Back Chat Radio Ga Ga Hammer To Fall A Kind Of Magic One Vision
All better live, IMO.

I do prefer all songs performed live. They do indeed sound better live than studio versions. Don't judge me hard, by the way. I'm just one of those Queen fans who like all live stuff.

Well I would say everything from the Jazz - A Kind Of Magic era was sounding better live.

May be Queen is the greatest live band of all time, so almost every song have worked amazing live... But I'd choose:
Spread your Wings (Great Audience Choir!!) I'm in love with my car (Great Roger!) Flash (Hard to play live because this tempo) The hero (Rocks!) Dreamer's Ball (Lovely accoustic) Keep yourself alive (Great Roger solo at 70s!) A kind of magic (Wonderful Brian solos and Riffs) Bring Back that Leroy Brown (Are U Kidding me?? What stuff!!) Let me entertain you (Rocks!) Dead on 2 Legs (Impresive tempo changes and 3 vocals) Brighton Rock (Amazing to play this fast song live!!) You're my best friend (Great Vocals of Q Members) Any cover song (Tutti Frutti, Big Spender, Hello Mary Lou...)
After Freddie I loved:
Headlong (B.May at Brixton) The Show must go on (+Paul Rodgers) I Want it all (Long version +P.Rodgers at Return of the Champions tour) Hammer to fall (Slow +P.Rodgers) Days of our lives (+P. Rodgers with R.Taylor on vocals) Reaching Out (Q+PR) Any P.Rodgers cover (Wishing well, Feel like making love...) Las palabras de amor (Freddie's Tribute) Innuendo (F's. Tribute)
And here are some songs I'd Wished to enjoy live:
Dead on time (Can you imagine Roger and Brian playing that fast???) No one but you (With Roger too. Brian played sometimes during the Another World Tour) Princess of the universe Tenement Funster (With Brian. Roger used to play on his solo tours) Lazing on a sunday afternoon (But W/O Freddie....) Seaside Rendezvous (But W/O Fredie....) Who needs you (Brian and John playing spanish guit.??) Sleeping on the sidewalk (Brian on vocals... Fun Blues!!) All Dead (Would be great with Paul R. And Roger T.) Was it all worth it (Heavy Rocks!) Let Me Live (May be with a choir like Somebody to love at Freddie's tribute) I can't live with you (Could be great live!) Don't try so hard (May be with some girl, like Kerry Ellis or someone with high vocals)
