Yeah, "White Queen" IS unimpressive compared to its live version - which is one of the best numbers in the setlist. Always.
Same thing with "Need Your Loving Tonight" - I really can't get used to the studio version because I heard live first (oddly) and... every time I hear it live I have this goosebumps - to see how powerful it is. The vocal range is higher in studio version but it can't beat the live.

I'm biased, I think Innuendo is a great album. On one hand QII is the voice of hungry young rockers; Innuendo is a scream of agony and release and triumph...
Definately Queen II. If you think you're in love with Queen now, you won't believe this album. Try listening to it for the first time lying flat out with all the lights out. I did that, and I had an out of body experience. Amazing.
