Much of Queen's stuff has been very carefully crafted in the studio and loses something when played live.
I can only think of a couple of songs (both from Hot Space) which actually sound better live - Staying Power and Backchat.
Anybody got any others ?

Also.. I like the Under pressure live version more.. but I like the studio version too.

Better live?
-Now I'm Here
-We Will Rock You
-Tie Your Mother Down
These are the songs that I personally think sound better live, listened to them on the Wembley 86' CD.

Apart from the HS songs IMO these songs are much better when played live:
-Death on two legs
-Spread your wings
-Sheer heart attack
-Now I´m here
-Get down make love
Songs which are not as good live as on the albums in my opinion:
-The prophet´s song
-Love of my life(great live, but the studio version is even better IMO)
-´39
-Tie your mother down(I like the album cut with the intro)
-White men
-Death on two legs
-Spread your wings

Spread Your Wings @ New York 01/12/1977 rocks, as it's a rendition of the bbc version!
Very few sounded better live. In the lap of the Gods sounded a helluva lot better live at the Rainbow in '74 than the album because Freddie didn't modify his voice and Rogers scream was better than the album versions as well.

I've always liked Love Of My Life live better than the studio version. I love the arrangement with the guitar and above all I think Freddie sounds majestic when he sings this song live.
