Yes,hammersmith'79 is great.Especially crazy little thing called love:the audience that starts the song again and also after sheer heart attack:Queen are the chmpions:-)freddie is in great voice and the others are brilliant aswell!I'd like this as e dvd!!!
I like these ones as follows:
Hammy'79
Houston '77(though they didn't play "It's Late")
Glasgow'77
Earls Court'77
Chicago '78( I prefer this to Montreal'78 from the Jazz tour)
Manchester'75
Tokyo May'75
Hammy '75
Wembley'86
Live Aid '85(it's not Queen's concert, but their performance at that time was one of the best ones)
Milton Keynes'82
Rainbow Nov,'74
and many many more...

What truly baffles the hell out of me is why Queen won't do with Houston '77 or Earl's Court '77 what they did with the Milton Keynes show. Not only would it be a better show, it would represent the pre-Jazz period that they have no official live releases for. I think their greatest songs got taken away a little with the News tour and a whole lot with Jazz.
We need great, crisp versions of White Queen, Prophet Song, Liar, In The Lap Revisited, Ogre Battle, Millionare Waltz, etc.

1. wembely 86 was fucking shite...freddie's voice was shafted - bigtime!!! - the show was great - but his voice suffered
FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!
The best? Hammersmith'79 was awesome, Sao Paulo'81 was a great one as well, I love Osaka'76, I have a spot for Golders Green, Glasgow'77... From MAGIC TOUR Budapest and Knebworth were definitely the best ones... Add Tokyo'75 (1st of may) or 31st of March 1976, maybe even Milton Keynes (excellent Freddie's performance) and you've got the best ones IMO...
I agree as well. Wembley '86 blows(for Queen's standards). Budapest is way better in my opinion.
Everyone was right, Hammersmith '79 is totally incredible! I love this Bittorent thing!

I havnt seen that many live concert performances by Queen. I always thought the Wembley 86 concert was amazing until I watched Live At The Bowl DVD.Freddies voice in this performance was alot better. His voice seemed more relaxed. In the Wembley concert he seemed to be forcing his voice alot. He still was great though.
for me the best one ever is queen 20/01/1981 at sao paulo, morumbi stadium, its my favorite, from all times...
The best for me:Glasgow30/05/'77,Tokyo09/05/'85,HAmmy'79,Berlin'78,budapest,milton keynes,I must say I haven't got that much recordings though.Oh yes,Japan01/05/75
I like Houston 77, Hammy 75, Chicago 78, Wembley 80.... But above all,........ HAMMY 79, IMO, is far the best!!!! IMO, it has the best version of Dont Stop me Now, Now Im here, Mustapha and Somebody To love... Freddie's voice is very very energic and clear, unlike many Live Killers shows... Wow, what a great concert...
hammersmith 79 for sure
My top five:
1. Budapest '86
2. Montreal '78
3. Puebla '81
4. Houston '77
5. Köln(Cologne) '74
1. Budapest '86

does Live Aid Count? coz that would be numero uno. but specific Queen.....definitly Magic 86 at wembley
The Best for me is the Live at the Earl´s Court Concert 77, It´s amazing!!! and I agree whith The Wembley Concert 86 Freddie´s voice was too forced , the Budapest Concert was a much better show.
i like Queen in Rio in front of 250,000 people
