I agree with Nick Browning, but ...
Jazz - Montreal 78 is a GREAT gig
Japan 79 - the last concert is so horrible that it's actually great :-)
Crazy Tour - I agree with Newcastle, but also there simply MUST be the Christmas show at Hammersmith Odeon
Magic Tour - I would add Knebworth

Jazz doesn't work, Did you even listen to the whole japan 79 leg?, crazy tour i agree but newcastle 12-3 and 12-4 will be the greatest combination together and magic knebworth isn't high for me i'm sorry because fred isn't good with the first verses of i want to break free, someone being stabbed, someone giving birth its not really clean at all. but the songs in his voicee are good but not great :) [/QUOTE]

Glasgow is killer too.

[QUOTE]Jazz - None Of Them[/QUOTE]
New York 11-17-78 is an excellent show, and Mercury is still in strong voice. Vancouver and Oakland are great shows too.

[QUOTE]Live Killers - None Of Them[/QUOTE]
Frankfurt is excellent, and the last night in Paris is epic. Overall 1978-79 was likely Brian May at his peak as a live player.

[QUOTE]Hot Space - Edinburgh, Leeds and Milton Keynes[/QUOTE]
The Leiden shows are amongst their very best, and the Brussels and Vienna shows are great, as is Dortmund. And let's not forget the US leg - Boston and Philadelphia, particularly. Sapporo is a great show too with many oddities.

[QUOTE]Works - Dublin and Brussels (1st Night)[/QUOTE]
The first night in Birmingham is excellent too, as is Stuttgart. Tokyo 5-9 has Mercury at his best, and Osaka is noteworthy too.

Don't just rate Queen shows on the basis of whether or not Mercury was in startling voice. There's a lot more to a Queen show than that. Mercury's voice may have been shot in Japan 79, but the band turned up their game a notch to compensate.

Many of my favourites have been mentioned.

Did anyone mention Copenhagen from A Day at the Races Europe? Not complete but great stuff in very nice sound quality!

In terms of sound quality Boston 02-09-77 should be mentioned too. Freddie was not in great shape but still he managed to sing an absolutely gorgeous You take my breath away... There are awesome moments in all Queen-shows. While I agree that FM was really bad during for example Tokyo 04-25-79, there are still beautiful moments from him. He still tries to give his all, even if it's very little in terms of voice:-) The rest of them make up for it. The middle part of Don't stop me now is just fantastic! And the perfomances are full of energy. I totally dig Freddie throwing the tambourines in the audience during Keep yourself alive, a thunderous response with every tambourine he throws. That's what rock 'n roll is about: creating excitement, entertaining your audience. There's more to it than just good singing...

Birmingham (1st) and Stuttgart his voice is raspy and in Birmingham (1st) they have instrumental mistakes and fred repeats a verse of seven seas of rhye and barks an a4.[/QUOTE]

I'll add something from the top of my mind:
Queen I Tour: All the recorded gigs are great :)

Queen II Tour: All the gigs we have recordings of, are great, but Rainbow and Portland has the best audio quality ;)

SHA Tour: Bradford and Liverpool are excellent gigs

ANATO Tour: Boston '76 is definitely the best show on the tour - in my opinion ;)

ADATR Tour: Copenhagen offering the most consistent show, and a lot of great performances. Bristol is great as well, as are the Earls Court shows, although Freddie's voice isn't that strong, it's still two awesome shows (especially if you're watching it with video!)

NOTW Tour: Philadelphia and the New York shows for the American leg, and Copenhagen + Stockholm for the European leg. Copenhagen has a slightly more stable Freddie (less cracks).

Jazz Tour: The New York shows, Philadelphia, Montreal, Chicago, Vancouver and Oakland, are all great shows, far better than the European and Japanese gigs.

Crazy Tour: Not many shows have surfaced, so Glasgow, both Newcastle shows and Hammersmith.

Game Tour: Oakland, Wembley, Brussels, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Monterrey.

Hot Space Tour: Both Leiden shows, both Vienna shows, both Cologne shows, Both Edinburgh shows, Munich, Leeds and Milton Keynes.

The Works Tour: 1st Brussels, Dublin, 1st Birmingham, Stuttgart, Sun City, 1st Rio show, 1st and 2nd Tokyo gigs and Osaka. Leiden has a few good surprises

Magic Tour: All 3 Leiden shows, Brussels, Mannheim, 2nd Munich (1st Munich is great too), 1st Wembley, Cologne, 1st Vienna (2nd Vienna is great too) and Frejus.


That's about it xD Some tours have a lot of shows mentioned, but that's because they have so many great shows :D

Saarbrucken 1979 is also worth listening to!

But Saarbrücken (the festival) isn't really part of any tour :P

and London: 5/13/1978

And Manchester: 11/26/1975 that gig is epic

This is a little 'off-topic' but the previous post on Manchester 75 reminded me of 15.11.1975 - Queen in Empire Theatre, Liverpool where the rest of the band launch straight into Stone Cold Crazy while Deaky merrily riffs away to Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll. Nobody seems to realise this until Freddie sings the first stanza of Stone Cold Crazy. You can almost imagine Deaky thinking "holy shit, what am I doing?" Maybe Freddie hit him with a carnation? Give it a listen sometime!
