Freddie says "Hey, hey, you caught me out !".
My favourite is...
"Before we please you with a bit of heavy rock and roll towards the end, I'd like to slip in a little number - well I'd like to listen carefully to a simple little song, this is me on the piano, it's called You Take My Breath Away..."

"The things you have to do for money" - right after "Dreamers Ball" on "Live Killers"
I always love his talking very very much!
My favorites are ones from "Earl's Court" as follows;
"I can do this all night, if you like" as he made one or two deep bows to the audience with a smile before he was starting out "Death On Two Legs"
"This is my champagne time. Cheers! I was gonna make a nice speech, but forget it. Cheers!"
I also love his banter about his diamonds on his fingers from "Rainbow" very much.
It was very fun when they took their last concert of '76 Japan tour on 4-4-76. The audience was sometimes so noisy that he said "Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen!" at last and then he said "Please Listen" in Japanese so clearly. Though it was not "banter"...
I have its bootleg and I love it!
I like the way he talks too. The first two you mentioned from "Earls Court" I thought it was so funny. There was one part where he was trying to get the audience to be quiet. It sounded like he called them "luvies" "lovies". I don't know, but It sounded funny.

"This is about a nasty old man that i used to know, anyway"...
I wonder who he was talking about.

A previous manager.
"I have... 3 words to say: FAT BOTTOMED GIRLLLLLSSSS!!!" - In Milton Keynes (or as QP likes to say: The MK Bowl, hahaha ;-) )
Mine are Montreal 1981 "Listen if you want to move around and shift your asses a little, it's OK, it's OK by us alright...........you can take all of your clothes if you like too, doesn't matter(Brian plays teaser of Under Pressure) Fuck off(said with a laugh by Freddie)........this is called Killer Queen". Also on Jailhouse Rock he said "Move it you fuckers come on". Brian was funny on Earls Court calling Earls Court "this ridiculous place" and also about the acoustic instruments "we hardly use these things, you understand".

No, Fredo's right. I just re-listened to it to make sure. Plus, "I think you have to do for money" doesn't actually make sense. :)
I took it from the superb homepage www.queenwords.com - Button "Lyrics" - There you can find all the quotes they made on the official Live albums. Really great site btw.
Cheers!
