funny nobody has mentioned the nasty painful growths(cant remember the name)... on freddie's vocal cords? these were the cause of freddie suffering during concerts, coupled with his 4o a day ciggie habbit which he said he smokes so many to try and get that raspy sound so to sound more soul- freddies voice was deffo at its most powerful during the eighties(very operatic) freddie used to still do concerts after being warned by docs about those bleeding/painful growths, just listen to live-aid then listen to a 70's gig, tim rice praised freds voice calling him a genius saying unlike puccini(composer) freddie could write like puccini then get up on the stage and sing it!!.....god i miss freddie when i yap on about him lol

Poweful, yes. But much less angelic, and he couldn't reach the high notes any more in concert. Grace was replaced by power in his voice, and I do prefer the first one as far as Freddie's voice is concerned.
On a side note, his performance on "don't stop me now" immediately followed by "spread your wings" in Live killers is indeed superb.
