It's an actual rocker and hearing Brian solo instead of the synth is an added treat. Sparse rhythm live with Roger. And since it's a pretty great cut in its own it wins.
Gaga used to be a great bit of fun. BUt live it wasn't as clean as benefited the studio track. Love em both. Iwtbf by a slight margin

Radio Gaga is one of my 80's favorites by Queen. I Want too Break Free wasn't to great live - Freddie seemed to shout his way through it.

I agree not a great song live but on record IWTBF blows Ga Ga out the water IMO....Better video as well

He sings it well on plenty of versions.

He gets the melody pretty much bang-on here (though he dodges the highest bridge note) and sings it clean. The shouting/barking is only on versions where his voice isn't in great shape.

Love both...but "Radio Ga Ga" is one of their best songs from ANY era and definitely a top 10 all-time favorite of mine. I still never tire of hearing it.

They are both brilliant singles. The feel of Radio Ga Ga at Live Aid though is one of the most fantastic moments for me, with that crowd of non fans totally digging it.

I love the studio version of "Radio Ga Ga"...does everyone prefer here prefer it live? The lush sound of the studio version is splendid, imo.

The studioversion is pretty unique though.. There not one song even coming close sounding like it!
