Songs you wished they played live?

Good suggestions. Dead on Time should be in there as well.

Here here for Dead on Time, plus Sail Away Sweet Sister, Princes of the Universe.

It's Late

Was played at least a few times in '77 and '78, mostly good performances.

Weren't NEVERMORE and ITS LATE both played live?

I've got a mostly complete bootleg of Friends Will Be Friends that someone here pointed to as one of about 2 times they tried it in its entirety


I think it was. ...a Leiden show. Early Magic Tour show.

Anyways. I'd love to have heard (*rather likely seen on recording since I was 8 when Freddie passed)

You and I
Was It All Worth It
The Invisible Man
Rain Must Fall


And of course everything from INNUENDO.

It would've been great to have DELILAH as an acoustic love ballad number midway through the set

Absolutely,gotta be 'Dead on Time',this song rocks hard like a bastard!

don't know how many are exactly as listed, but there are several different live versions there

/\
.......and Stafford bingley hall, May '78, with Fred's introduction : 'This is our new single, in America, we didn't think you'd like it here'. Cue moderate howls of derision.

Breakthru. Great uptempo song!

I'm not sure how it would have worked live. It's my favourite Queen song but Freddie wouldn't have been able to hit the numerous high notes of the song live.

I'm sure they would have found a way mate! It's also my Favourite Queen song too. Just love the song!!!

some songs I wish they played live is mad the swine, my fairy king, misfire, funny how love is, fight from the inside, jealousy, and polar bear

Forgoing the obvious Miracle/Innuendo songs, because they were never going to be performed live...

You And I
Dead On Time
Sail Away Sweet Sister
Las Palabras De Amor
Keep Passing The Open Windows
Gimme The Prize (probably coulda worked as a Brighton Rock/Guitar Solo/Brighton Rock (reprise) thing)
and the most obvious of them all – Princes Of The Universe

Perhaps, but it's interesting to wonder if Freddie would have started using his his head voice live if he'd returned to live performance. It seems possible, depending on how confident he was in it not to crack I guess - the good thing about using head voice in studio is that you get as many attempts as you need.

Jealousy
Nevermore
Was It All Worth It
Love Kills
Let Me In Your Heart Again
Long Away
Drowse
Las Palabras
Dancer
The Hitman

Given the propensity nowadays to perform whole albums live.........dare I say Hot Space?!!
It would be interesting , and would probably gain some favour over the much criticised studio production .
