Setlist wise my least favourite is Magic Tour (very few piano by Freddie, lot of pop crap, absence of some classics). But the sound there is great (or is that because of the Wembley overdubs?).
Sound wise I don`t like either of The Works tours

It's not about WHAT THEY PLAY but HOW THEY play it. You're not going to tell me that electric drum kit from 84/85 sounds fine... :S Or that Spike's singing is so goood he should be higher in the mix tahn Brian... :S
Times change, bands change, and fans can't fuckin' understand that great bands can't sell you the same thing over and over again.
I vote for Works / Hot Space / Magic tour (in this order).
Hot Space Tour without a doubt.
I hate Sweet Lady. It's boring. Hot Space tour was f****** brilliant. Great setlist I thought. I say The Works tour was worst because of the synthesiser overdose and that AWFUL drum sound.
It would have to be the first tour. They only improved live from there. Plus, I'm not a fan of the first album.
I think the Works tour was the worst. The drums are crap and every song was overloaded with synthesizer. Even We Will Rock You was played with synths!
Good points of the Works tour:
1. The lighting rig was superb
2. They played Jailhouse Rock

Aside the Machines Intro/Tear it Up/Tie Your Mother Down intro and the Impromptu Jam and including It's a Hard Life, The Works tour was fair. Freddie nightly didn't sing the high notes on Ga Ga(he usually sang them an octave lower). Also, Freddie switched to electric guitar on Crazy Little Thing. Best tours were tied between the Races/News/Jazz/Game tours. The Hot Space tour was great as well.
WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT! IM A TWELVE YEAR OLD(soon to be thirteen!)AND I HAVE MORE SENSE THAN YOU THERE IS NOOOOOOOO BAD QUEEN TOUR! QUEEN ARE QUEEN AND THATS THAT! SHEESH!
ROCK ON AND PEACE OUT.

The way Queen changed their setlists for the 80's were negative. They dropped the medley, removed fantastic songs as Spread Your Wings and Don't Stop Me Now from the set. Now I'm Here got too much space. Freddie played less piano and soon he only played it in a very few songs like Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions.
Queen only got worse in the 80's. The worst tours are The Works and Magic Tour. Even if I'm a big fan of Radio Ga Ga and It's A Hard Life those are the worst tours.

queenling your a true queen veteran, wow a whole thirteen, how cute, a thirteen year old queen fan, actually your right, every queen tour rocked.
The worst?
WORKS TOUR!!!
This drum sound is just horrible!!! So waht that the set list was pretty interesting- everything spoiled by Roger and Spike, whose mic and keyboards were far too high in the mix!!!
Were you trying to blame them for that?
What do you believe was the worst tour Queen did?
I don't like Magic Tour for several reasons:
Boring setlist
Every concert was the same
Worst medley Queen did
What tour do you think are the worst?
I totally agree with every point- it was bad quality and boring.
come on people!!! there was no BAD tours, just off nigths!!! what people are judging on is mainly bootlegs they have seen!!!
on the subject of the works tour they played at least one song from every album!!! great king rat is a fave
one the magic tour i would of liked to have seen more from akom album!!! gimme the prize especially, brians guitar would have been superb live
