Lucille-Both nights have an off moment or 2(Freddie coming in late 6/6, overshot high note 6/7)
Jailhouse Rock-I'd say personal preference. I like hippodrome 1973 and earls court 2nd night
Bama Lama Bama Loo- Hippodrome because of the c5 attempt
Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting-Earls court. Possibly Roger's best performance
Impromptu- Sun City has some low notes, whistle register, and a clean c5
The rest are hard to determine and are probably best left to one's opinion

In my opinion, the best instrumental inferno is tokyo 4/23/1979 (which is pretty ironic considering it's Freddie's worst gig of his career)
Here's a song written by a well known puffter, I am sure you know what he is called-
Think it was Tokyo in 1985.......probably one of the best cover versions they ever played

For me tutti fruti from budapest 86 is the best one, is very energetic.
Sun city and budapest impromptu are my personal favourite.

For best Big Spender, i'll put my money on Wembley 2nd night and Rainbow '74 (SHA tour)
For 'Hello Mary Lou' Cologne 19th July. Why? 0:42 Those vocal harmonies after Brian's part. It sounds amazing! I can listen to it 50 times in a row.
