I love this song and almost all its live versions, but my personal favourite is the Rio version.
There is simply something amazing about 150 000 voices singing the same song together. Or about 150 000 voices shouting Brian's name, after which he almost started to cry :-)

Nice version, but you are missing 100,000 people!
Argentina 1981 are very good choices also!
Cheers!
I love the Rio performance. Also like Houston, and Montreal.
My father was at the two Rock in Rio shows and the 1981 gigs in Sao Paulo, I'm very jealous of him :P
Hard to pick a favorite since there was something special about many of them.
For just singing, Houston 77 (except I like the "Oooh yeah" at the end of the Wembley better). Rio for the audience singalong. Montreal for that young woman at the end looking at Freddie with such adoration. Also love this version from Q+PR 2005 with Brian singing with an empty stool next to him: link
