Im sure Ive seen a list of these somewhere, but I cant find it, so I figured Id ask the nice people who know best!

Which tracks were never played live by Queen with Freddie (not counting the stuff on the albums post 1986)- Im wondering if theres something I havent heard a version of.......?

Most of those fit the bill from what I know - although lazing on a sunday afternoon WAS played - Ive got a boot of it from 1976; not sure what gig its from though.

I think thats an inaccurate list because I've read that fairy feloows masterstroke was played once in concert so that kind of throws the rest of your list in doubt.

As far as I remember, it was actually played live.

Nevermore had never been played. Crystal said once that he was trying to convince Freddie to play it but he never did...

Let's try this:
My Fairy King
Some Day, One Day
Loser In The End
Nevermore
Fairy Fellers (don't believe they played it)
Funny How Love Is
Tenement Funster
Lily Of The Valley
Dear Friends
Misfire
She Makes Me
Seaside Randezvous
Good Company
Long Away (unless you count the last tour with PR)
You And I
Drowse
All Dead All Dead
Fight From The Inside
Who Needs You
Jealousy
Dead On Time
In Only Seven days
Fun It (well... there was something, like the snippets but.. can we count it as a song?)
Leaving Home Ain't Easy
More Of That Jazz
Don't try Suicide
Sail Away Sweet Sister
Coming Soon
*most of the Flash album
Dancer
Las Palabras De Amor (there was a rumour but unconfirmed)
Cool Cat
Man On The Prowl
Machines (well- bits used as a taped intro OR as a basis for the keyboard solo, but as a song- no)
Keep Passing The Open Windows
One Year Of Love
pain Is So Close To Pleasure
Gimme The Prize
Don't Lose Your Head
Princes Of The Universe

That should be it.

Many thanks. I guess most of those make sense for not being played in one way or another.
Nevermore was played at the BBC wasnt it? Does that count as live? Might that not mean it was played live elsewhere aswell?
Just a thought.

I wouldn't count BBC as a live performance. And apparently it was never played anywhere else.

Fenderek's list is correct, but since we count Bring Back That Leroy Brown - I think we might count Fun It too.

Very short piano improvisation with some bits from My Fairy King was played once in Japan '85.

You can find such list in Greg Brooks' book "Queen Lives", though there are some incorrects: Jesus was played live.

It was actually played more then once. It was only a few times during the Japanese Night At The Opera tour in 1976.

Here are a few concert where it was played at:

- 02.04.1976 Sendai, Japan
- 04.04.1976 Tokyo, Japan
- 01.04.1976 Tokyo, Japan
- 31.03.1976 Tokyo, Japan
