Copenhagen 1978 or Newcastle 1979 (second night). |

BBC for me. |

BBC for me due to the rawness, the extended arrangement, Freddie going for most of the high notes which he didn't in a live gig environment, but most of all for that MASSIVE tom sound!! :-) |

BBC version is amazing! Live Killers version is better I think... has a different feelling... Generally, all live versions were great! Original version sucks! |
| Gregsynth 30.01.2015 11:22 |
Newcastle 1979 (second night). Can't stress enough on how good that version is! |
| Viper 30.01.2015 11:26 |
Ok I'm gonna heart it later. |

BBC and Newcastle December 4. |
| MercurialFreddie 30.01.2015 13:17 |
Stockholm 4/12/1978 is also pretty good... |
| Oscar J 30.01.2015 13:18 |
^ Yup. That and Hammersmith 1979. |
| Nitroboy 30.01.2015 13:21 |
Copenhagen SMOKES Stockholm :P |
| Chief Mouse 30.01.2015 13:28 |
I really like vibrato here. Similar to the album version. "You won't get very far!" :) http://youtu.be/OwSLtwdMEPY?t=2m39s . |
| MercurialFreddie 30.01.2015 13:48 |
Maybe it smokes Stockholm performance-wise (notes, sustain etc.) but Stockholm version is more emotional |

Wow. He's really belting it out there. Sounds great. Thanks for posting the link. |
| brunogorski 30.01.2015 14:08 |
I love Newcastle's one! |

It has to be the BBC 1977 version of "spread your wings" This is a real Queen gem and Rogers drumming on this is heavy and sensational! Freddie gives the vocals all he has got and Brian and John are on fire! Great recording and the best version i have heard of this track. It is such a shame that the BBC version of "Its Late" was ignored from the remastered delux 2011 versions of "News of the World cd. |

Plenty of great versions. This song is actually one of my very favourites live. I adore the ones where FM's voice is really good (crazy tour, notw like Copenhagen) but I also adore several Jazz/Live Killers versions where the interplay between the 4 of them is wonderful, like Vancouver '78, Paris '79, Zurich '79. |
| Nitroboy 30.01.2015 15:15 |
Copenhagen '78 and 2nd Newcastle '79 tie as #1 for me, but Chicago '78 is probably my 2nd favourite version. |
| Oscar J 30.01.2015 16:05 |
^ Over Stockholm and the other Crazy versions? Interesting! |

Im a Queen fan for 25 years..my dad was too and my mother.. My mother was born and lived in Zagreb( Croatia) from 1952 (born) to 85 till we move to Split also in Croatia.. So to shit no far I trust my dad when he said Spread Your Wings are best in Zagreb. they atfended that concert..similar stuff my dad said that about Bohemiam Rhapsody with Freddie did that "die" in a original key... Dont want to bother no more with my family just saying some stuff... |
| alberbal12 30.01.2015 17:37 |
BBC 1977 version, without doubt. Is perfect. |

One of the main things that distinguishes it from live versions is that Freddie gets all the varied lyrics right - i.e. 'why can't you be happy'. That makes it that much better in my opinion. |

BBC version (and pretty much any 1977 version) is brilliant, until they changed the arrangement in around '78 and wimped out on including the amazing double time extended jam section. Yes, there was a jam section but it was just a bit crappy. I used to like the Live Killers version but for some reason Roger's backing vocals are omitted... |

@ Mr. Mouth It is a pity that there is no known audio recording of this gig (besides the recording for the band, by their crew [2-track raw]). Weren't some parts of that Zagreb gig recorded by local TV station ? |

My dad said that he saw some cameras overall.. I think We Are The Champions from Live Killers is from Zagreb.. But I think there must be some bootleg there..Now it would be my mission to complete and find it.. It must be there and Im not far trust me... |
