Never thought I'd hear a version like this before! That bridge section is crazy!

You're an asshole Greg
Guitar solo is also brilliant!

Amazing to hear Freddie deliver that one line in falsetto (o_____o)
This is a really great version.I believe my favourite so far.Thank you again Greg
It seems that Freddie was in such a good mood :)
love it
That falsetto line has a fantastic phrasing by Freddie.
That falsetto line is so off :-)
I had to laugh when I first heard it.

But apart from that it's a great version. Brian is on fire.
on my way up
^Well, the vibrato on the last note makes him sound like a high pitched goat. But it's unique alright. The performance as a whole is better than the Live Aid version, because the guitar solo at Live Aid sucks, while this one rocks.
I always thought the Live Aid version was the best HTF, but this one is much better. May's guitar solo and Freddie's falsetto's are brilliant.

Best version ever?? What do you guys think?
Best version ever, indeed.
Never thought I'd see the day that Live Aid's version gets challenged.

This Sun City gig sure threw me for a loop!

It's the word 'through' that's really off.

He sings a B4 (like the record - except he uses his falsetto).

Tonality, it's not the most pleasant-sounding falsetto Freddie's done, but he is singing accurate pitches on that bridge part (B4 - E5, C#5).

Who would've thought he'd pull phrases off like that?
