I know that Gregsynth created a list of the best concerts on each tour. Can he (or maybe someone else) create a list of the worst concerts on each tour?

So can someone (preferably Gregsynth) make the worst shows on each tour list?
can someone PLEASE make a list?
That's pretty hard. I personally don't even think they did A bad show. I mean there are shows where Freddie's voice sounds bad, there are shows where Brian's guitar is not very good, but the other always try to "save the day".
Why do you find it interesting listening to the worst shows?
That being said, these are probably some of the worst:
Fukuoka and Himeji 1976,
The Japanese Jazz concerts 25/4 - 1/5 1979,
Zurich: 17/4 1982
London: 7/9 1984
Zurich 2/7 1986

This is the only one I agree with. This is the most uninspired Queen show I've ever heard. Many 1984-85 shows are similar, where they're just dialing it in. Same with some of the later 1982 gigs.
But bad shows? Never. They were far too professional for that.
Listen to Zeppelin in Tempe 7-20-77 if you want to hear a bad show !
I agree, they didn't really do any bad shows. Just less good ones - and sometimes these shows have their own gems. Like Freddies stair-stepping phrasing in Bohemian Rhapsody in Fukuoka, cool stuff.

But do you actually think those shows are bad, or is it just because Freddie had problems with his voice? ;)
As others have stated, I don't think there is a BAD show, just shows where either one or two members aren't delivering 100%.
Like I said above - not bad, just less good. But yes, of course when the lead singers voice is shot, it makes the show less enjoyable. I always got the feeling it affected the other members of the band in their performances too.

Wow, that's really bad. I rarely listen to concerts from those years, with Plant's voice giving out all the time and Page being so heavily drugged.
Although there's shows where Freddie isn't in good form (which really can affect the shows since his voice is so important to the songs) - I don't think there's many "bad" shows per say (if you're looking at all the members as a whole).
One that does come to mind is Dallas 1978 - but that was the first show of the Jazz Tour and the band were rusty throughout the set from the layoff.

i never made it through that one. it is irredeemable, and usually LZ at least still had some redeeming feature in their lesser gigs.
To call this catastrophe a "lesser gig" is far too much of a compliment:
The worst section is the "White Summer/Kashmir" section

TC, what do you understand for a ''bad'' show?
To me, a bad show is one where the performers don't give a s*** about the audience or are unprofessional.
Queen were never like that, in more than half thousands of shows there is one report of one show of Freddie being drunk and another one of Brian.
Queen always tried to do their best as oppose to other bands like other people said in this topic.
Maybe what TC mean is a show where the stamina or the skills of the members of the band weren't as it top. Freddie did a few shows with his voice damaged and Brian guitars failed in some shows aswell, but that mean these shows weren't brilliant, not as usually for Queen, a band well known for its top shows.
