Great King Rat

I love this song and Im currently plowing through bootlegs to find a performance of it. So far ive gathered that it was played during the 1984 works tour which strikes me as rather odd since it wasnt a fan favourite even when Queen 1 was released. But still im wondering what works tour bootlegs this song features in. Vienna 29/09/84?

All of them (from 1984)- the part of the song was played after part of Stone Cold Crazy- it was Vienna, it was Milabn, it was Stuttgart, it was Birmingham- you name it- if there's a complete bootleg from 1984 part of the tour- it does feature GKR. Anyway- full, better versions are on early bootlegs... but the quality of 2 I know (New Orleans'74 and Waterbury'74) is pretty bad... Do we have a better recording from 70s of this song?
