I think that Freddie's best live performance (VOCALLY)of Bohemian Rhapsody was at the Wembley gig in '86.
What's your opinion on this matter?

Hmmm.
Gosh, you know... I've seen/heard quite a few shows, but I usually skip Bohemian Rhapsody because I've heard it so many times!
Personally, I actually liked Live Aid a little better than Wembley '86. But I really can't comment on Bohemian Rhapsody because thats not one that I actively seek out.

god almighty - wembley version is so lame - have you any taste at all (the intro is rubbish - the best bit is the end bit which is prob the best)
but for the intro - ya i'd nearly agree live aid is as good as anything.
But my fav performance is 86 in paris - everything about it - he really sung the line "mama ooohh..." - like with such power i never heard before so that's my favourite one along with live aid

Off course Mannheim . Fabulous intro ,I mean whilst Freddie said ' we love u what a corny and ... ' and incredible end .
I really love the version from the WATC video shoot in the New London Theatre Centre 1977 (shared here recently). Freddie lets the audience sing the high parts of the song, and it blends perfectly. So it's the first and only time the original melody is there – stunning! But unfortunately the song is cut after the ballad part.
From all complete live versions I like the one from Newcastle 1979 best, Freddie's voice is just perfect.

And don't forget Hammersmith Odeon '79, even if he doesn't reach the "di-i-ie" . The only performance that I know where Freddie reach this high note is Newcastle 79, in fact.
And Paul Rodgers reached one time this high note, during the BORhap from Sazka Arena, in Prague, Czech Republic. I think that it is his most powerful performance. Listen to I want it all, he reaches high notes there too, very much better than in SHeffield.
But FREDDIE's best live vocal performance that I know are:
1) Newcastle 79
2) Hammersmith Odeon 79.
In 86, Freddie has much energy, but, even in Stockholm, Sweden, 1986, he doesn't reaches so high notes.
If you know other shows where Freddie or Paul reaches the "Die", then tell me, because I think that it is a little high note which is very important for the perfection of the entire show.

i like the earls court one (1977)
Definitely Newcastle '79.
live aid is the best ever
Newcastle 04.12.1979 was surely thwe best ever performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, as for Wembley '86, ARE YOU JOKING?!
KNEBWORTH PARK’86
Indeed Hammy '79 is fantastic , but I think Newcastle'79 is kind of better, it's the best ever.
Freddie was keeping a big voice even in the high notes, so powerful in the rock part...

I like Wembley 86 too, it's a good barked rendition of it "Mama his life had JUhhhST begun". The power was amazing.

Let me guess, the only Queen show you saw or have listened to is Wembley?
That show isn't THAT special.
