Live shows

[u/Solympian_musiclover]

What’s everyone’s favorite live shows or live Bootlegs that they constantly listen too

- Houston 77 ( News of the world tour )
- Seattle 77 ( Races tour )
- Most of the US shows from Jazz are enjoyable to me
- Japan 74 and 75 ( any of those shows )
- Hammersmith late 1979

I love the Bootleg versions of the Wembley shows from 86

I will say I have a strong dislike for Japan 79 ( just my opinion )

[u/solongehhbowser]

Hammersmith 79 offcourse, Stockholm 1986 is a very good one, the first leiden show of 1986, and Brussels 84

[u/woke_dondraper → u/solongehhbowser]

First Leiden is like Queen comfort food. It’s without doubt probably one of the most famous bootlegs we have, good quality, good performance, you cannot go wrong

[u/solongehhbowser → u/woke_dondraper]

Indeed! While the Stockholm one has a better quality source and a comparable perfomance, the first Leiden show had the best audience every. That makes the bootleg so much more enjoyable. And you can hear Freddie enjoying the energy of the audience, even chanting along with them

As of late, Birmingham ‘80

The set list switch up + Freddie being on fire really make it so fun. One of my favorite versions of Dragon Attack too

Magic tour Vienna both shows Frejus Knebworth

Vienna 82 shows Buenos Aires 81

[u/El-Robbbo → u/wstussyb]

Vienna Magic shows are a bit random, they’re not very good imo. The other ones are decent picks though!

[u/RJB6]

Anyone got an archive of these shows? Wouldn’t mind listening to a few

[u/El-Robbbo]

Honestly any show from the 70s really bar most of NA Races, January EU Jazz and JP Jazz
