I'm asking this question in terms of audience participation. So far I've got radio ga ga and love of my life. I'd like to hear what everyone thinks

WWRY / WATC were also game changers in their live repertoire. Not only did they find a winning combination for which to end the rest of their shows with (aside from the very, very rare occasion), they still involved considerable audience participation
Another One Bites The Dust. The Magic Tour version, that is.

You could also say that they marked the very important change for the band to close their sets with their own songs instead of a medley of covers.
Overall I would say their concerts transformed into more audience friendly in '78 and '79 and then throughout the rest of their career. Concerts performed in '73 and '77 were more like performances with the band interacting mostly with the audience in between songs rather than during them (not to say it didn't happen at all though).
Brighton Rock...that solo - fucking zzzzzzz brilliantzzzzzzzzzzzzz
nah seriously.....i liked the use of STL and other songs that evolved into
Freddie's ad-lib audience participation thing

It DID! !!!!
It was a cue to the audience to getv up and buy some more drinks.
Or.... take a $#@+
Somebody to Love, I think.
In the Lap of the Gods... revisited. Queen had their first proper 'anthem' to close their show and they used it to great effect.

Yup, it did - Japan 75/76 the audience were pretty involved in Liar.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love! i love the live versions from the works/magic tours, the piano sounds awesome.
I was gonna say the obvious : BIG SPENDER ... because, camp and funny as it was, it gave Fred another outlet to explore band DYNAMICS ad far as what GOES and what is possible during a band concert.
Leads into his unabashed presence doing ITS A HARD LIFE (VIDEO) and I WANT TO BREAK FREE . ... (with fake tits)
But for participation it was probably 39' and LOVE OF MY LIFE.
when DID that acoustic version hit?
Was it on the ANATO tours or much later?

They did '39 at the 1976 UK shows before ADATR came out - including Hyde Park.
