MMMM..., the second show from Argentina was amazing specially somebody to love, and that im not saying cos i`m argentinian. IMO the live version in Argentina was powerful, and Freddie's voice, even better than MK's STL. The first show in Argentina, when Freddie sung "Dead on two legs", he reached the high notes as it was the studio version. To me it was better than Live Aid, and i have no doubt about it.
Impromptu - Tour '86 - was made with falsetto, and that not require a big effort, even it allows to take a rest to your voice.
So Freddie was a unique singer, that impromptu was no big deal, but you can note that his voice had problems that day at Wembley.
I have a doubt, the concert from Kampuchea was short?. I saw 20 minutes of the gig, but i saw excerpts of TYMD, save me and others. I guess the TV broadcasting made it "short" but the gig was long as usual. If someone can confirm it, great.

I have the entire Kampuchea show, and is really amazin, I agree with you, the Argentina shows are very powerful, I have a video from japan in 1979, I bought it a few days ago, and has some images from Madrid at the same year, but in the japanese show freddie is in terrible shape, I doesn't hit the high notes in almost the entire show (edited)
There is non higher freddie live performance than the one shown from montral 81 (we will rock you dvd), just seven months before On fire, but much better.
I just want to know one thing? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? And you are just now noticing Freddie's voice. For heavens sake relax, turn on a Queen album, lay back and actually listen to the music, please or get off the site.
I was hearin the concert from Kampuchea and I am very impressed by freddie vocals, he sings so amazin
I agree with you.
I also feel his vocals in Kampuchea concert are very awesome as a whole, whenever I listen to it.
Besides, I think "White Man"-"The Prophet's Song" and rock'n'roll medley of encore including "Jailhouse Rock" from Earl's Court are very awesome.
And imo,"Keep Yourself Alive", "Liar" and rock'n' roll medley from Hammersmith '75 are impressive, despite the fact that Freddie and Brian had dreadful flu at that time...
Of course, I'm always struck deeply by his vocals in MK concert.
The innuendo album was his best recording, his voice sounded amazing all through, but I still hate Delilha. We will rock you Dvd was best gig. He was changing his voice by Wembley
i think the studio-version of "time" is one of the best things he ever did...everything his voice could do is in this song....and i think it is about time that someone brought it back in the theatres again....Peter Straker could sing these songs too....would be nice to see him do that ! And offcourse "the march of the black queen" and "the prophet's song" too, and...and...and...and...and...
but my all-time nr 1 is and will always be "don't stop me now".....that's "musical red bull"...!!!

boemian rhapsody live at the bowl is incredible
Live at the Bowl is better than wembley throughout I think but Play The Game is the absoloute best, so much better than the album version.
i like under pressure, one year of love, you take my breath away, the show must go on and the fairy feller's master-stroke.
por otra parte, mi respuesta es para panza pedraza.
primero, si no eres argentino al menos eres latino, y segundo, queen realizo un show entero para recaudar fondos para la gente de kampuchea.
sin embargo, en el lanzamiento del album, llamado 'concert for the people de kampuchea', solo se incluyo el tema now i'm here.

the way that he sings in the lap of the gods is amazing:P... and yes i'm talking about song nr 7 on the sheer heart attack album:P
For me Freddie's best vocal performance was I Want it All - it isn't my favourite song although I do like it - I just think Freddie's vocals are absolutely first class on it - his voice sounds amazing.
kampuchea was class probably the best id love too see that released in some way
I was at Hammersmith for the Kampuchea gig :-D
nice one bob grrrrrrrrr! im not jealous1 lol
