I post a song of the day everyday on my facebook just for fun, recently I did a week of my 7 favorite Queen live versions. Here's what I picked:
10, 9 and 8 weren't posted but I will put here to make a full out top 10.
10- Spread Your Wings (Live Killers)
9- Bohemian Rhapsody (Wembley 86)
8- FBG (Milton Keynes 82)
7- Now I'm Here/Put Out The Fire/Dragon Attack/Now I'm Here Medley (Japan 11-3-82)
6- Son & Daughter/Guitar Solo/Father To Son/Drum Solo/Liar/Son & Daughter Reprise (Yeah, I know, fake medley, but released as such so there!)
5- WWRY/WATC (Montreal 81)
4- Hammer To Fall (Wembley 86)
3- White Queen (Earls Court 77)
2- Somebody To Love (Milton Keynes 82)
1- CLTCL (Wembley 86)
Honorable Mention goes to Keep Yourself Alive-Hammy 75, If You Can't Beat Them- Montreal 78, WWRY (Speed)- MK 82, Brighton Rock- Montreal 78 and Staying Power- MK 82.
What about you lot?
Without much thought I'll go with In the lap of the gods at wembley.....any version of somebody to love in the early 80's....I like the live at the bowl version. Stoned cold crazy at the rainbow. Play the game at montreal.....
The ONLY thing about Somebody To Love at MK I dislike is that Roger doesn't do his "YEAHHHHHHHH" at the end. He had done it for years, thats the only thing that would've made it better.
White Queen Rainbow 1974.
Save Me Montreal 1981
Who Wants To LIve Forever Wembley 1986
Under Pressure Montreal 81

Zurich 1986 was worse.
