Queen are voted one of the best live bands of all time. in my opinion, the best. The thing i feel about them live is, it's not the same which is good. It's like your getting two different songs. So you can buy their live albums and not be disappointed.
And sure Freddies voice may not have been the same but it was still a beautiful voice. And with the energy he put into a stage show was fantastic

...Bob, I couldn't agree with you about the Led Zeppelin thing. Indeed they where a fabulous live band (Judging from my boots), but for me Queen will always beat them....
Just hear Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, trying to sing Queen's Innuendo at Freddie Mercury tribute in 1992. Even though it WAS part of the second half of the concert - they cutted it out on the DVD :D
Queen were very fast - almost anarchic.
It case of having to be there really. I don't think they always held up as live recordings but they sure were fun !!!!

Just hear Freddie Mercury of Queen, trying to sing Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song at Berlin in 1986. Same story.. It sucked!

Definitely! Which show is your favourite from this period? I'd have to go with the third night in Buenos Aires, 3-8-81.
I guess a popular choice, but I reckon 20-3 is one f THE best Queen live shows EVER... Pity Brian fucked up solo during STL- taht would have been the best version of taht songs- Fred's ad-libs are nothing short of sensational!!!
And I agree about Zeps- Queen definitely weren't the best live band ever but i also wouldn't call them a studio one... As mentioned by many people- there is a large number of songs that sound FAR better than the studio cuts- Spread Your Wings, White Queen, See What A Fool I've Been, Staying Power, Life Is Real, even the hits like Somebody To Love or We Will rock you (fast version kicks ass!)... I dunno- som things sound better in studio (Death on Two Legs, Flick Of The wrist), some better live... And as jeroen said- unfortunately some official releases come from "not so good" night (i.e. Wembley... )
You suck not Queen. You say you are a Queen fan for 25 years i don't belive this bull you're telling us. You say Queen suck live :)) than why all music specialists and very many people say Queen are one of the best LIVE BANDS EVER??????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!

Don't judge Led Zeppelin by one average performance by one of its members. That would be like judging Queen live after listening to one of Brian's concerts from 1993. Or how about judging Freddie Mercury's voice from the Japan 79 shows? If that's how good he was all the time, he never would have been a popular singer, because his voice was awful on that tour.
Zeppelin's How The West Was Won... that's a rock concert. That destroys any the officially-released Queen concerts.

Personally I'd add Who's "Live in Leeds" and- my fav live album of all time- Deep Purple's "Made in Japan"...
Queen is fantastic live.They will always be my number 1.That isjust because I like their songs the best,I like freddie's voice best of all voices and non-one plays guitar like brian plays the Red Special:-)Of course there are other quality-bands aswell.One has often been named here:led zeppelin!their virtuosity is unique but they do not have the humor or great presentation of queen.Freddie is a born entertainer and a real star.Robert plant is just a singer:I don't like watching him very much,to be honest.
maybe somebody needs them ears tuned?
Queen are the best Live ever--- At least they are great entertainers,wich these days are missing obviously....
