They always performed White Queen brilliantly in all the bootleg versions I have. The fast version of We Will Rock You for the "News" and JAZZ tours as well as If You Can't Beat Them. The live versions of the Hot Space tracks at On Fire at the Bowl are so much better than the studio versions. |

someone should make a voting poll for this... i don't know in what format, but it would be interesting to see the results the greatest live version of any queen song that always stands out for me is Spread Your Wings from the Live Killers album... it's just an amazing update from the News Of The World album |

Indeed! |

all I can say is over there in the UK you all either have gone to all these concerts you talk about or they release alot more DVD/Cd's of a variety of Queen Concerts over there cuz over here in the US they only have Wembley, Milton Keynes, and I have seen Budapest........that's it....How the hell you all see all these concerts?? LOL...........but from the rare 3 or 4 concerts I've seen I guess I would have to say..........Somebody To Love from Milton Keynes, The Hero from Milton Keynes, and We Will Rock You, Lap of the Gods, and Tie Your Mother Down from Wembley............Peace |

There are copies of the videos mentioned above. The Hammersmith gigs, Earls Court, Rainbow etc. are available through some fan sites and sometimes on ebay. There are bootlegs available as well. Even here in the States. I've got two reliable sources that I deal with. Let me know if you're interested. |
| Anto1 08.06.2005 23:30 |
Bump. I'm totally in love with Dont Stop Me Now from Paris 79. I love the laid back way the guys sing the bridge. Also Keep Yourself alive from Houston ****ing rocks. That drum intro really ads to the version. In fact Houston 77 on the whole is just amazing. |

Love Of My Life HAS TO be from Houston. Instead of ususual pathetic football chant we got extremely fragile and beautiful version sang by Freddie in its entirety. GREAT ONE! I love Mustapha from Wembley Arena'80 (first night)- amazing stuff. Somebody To Love is just breathtaking in Sao Paulo but Brian fucks up the solo... There are many! |

That big sound during "You Take My Breath Away" at Earl's Court. Especially the look on Freddie's face. That's not actually a best-version-of-any-song, but it should be. Right next to their many performances of "Yeah". |

One Vision at Budapest was scalding. I don't agree that Hammer To Fall was best at Wembley at all. Brian's guitarsound during the whole show was tinny and weak for some reason, the riff wasn't metal enough for me. |
