I just love to power of this song live.
What are your favourite versions of the song?
Saint Jiub
13.11.2019 23:02		 Houston '77, well before the sing along took over.
I like hearing Freddie's vocals and Brian's guitar without being drowned out by the sing along.
Marlamir
13.11.2019 23:13		 Milton keynes is going to be my pick probably
PrimeJiveUSA
14.11.2019 01:57		 Live Killers version.

Dougie 4
14.11.2019 11:09		 I love the piano on the record version
.
14.11.2019 11:14		 There are also some nice harp covers on YouTube, and this one is rather special:

ah.. YOU CAUGHT ME!...
Hah.. I was just Joshing' ya know.
I ain't married
I'm a little perplexed at analyzing live gigs.. particularly when I wasn't at them.. So, love of my Life (the song) live.. they're all essentially the same.
Only later Freddie'd intersperse comments. So, I guess I don't have one. :-/
They're all good.
Was there ever one where Brian broke a string, then his guitar for instance??

I am not aware of any broken strings during Love of My Life
Brian broke a string at Houston 77 during playing the intro to Liar ... there was a nice short eerie interlude (mostly cymbals as I recall) while Brian was hurriedly given another guitar.
Brian also broke a string playing Dragon Attack (at Milton Keynes??) and John got to do a very short bass solo before Brian was given another guitar.
I do not believe that Brian destroyed his guitars in either show.
Only John hurls guitars ... ala Knebworth.

17.11.2019 08:06		 I agree with Saint Jiub, Houston 77 without the audience participation.
And then Rio 85 with the sing along..
