You are right, it's the longest Queen show ever. :)

Love this bluesy version by Freddie. Nice to seem them doing some US fan favour by playing this "localised" version 🙂

this is great - like other commenters I reckon they ought have played this more often - a goodtime rocker tune that's simpler than most of their material, which would have been great fun for the tipsy audience to groove to; and which they later mastered with Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Please please someone take me back in time..1977 will do

Immagino le altre canzoni di quel concerto con che qualità vocale...

This is as close Brian ever got to a proper Rory Gallagher tune/tribute. Rory was a major influence on May . Freddie fucking nails it...shame there's no footage.

Something about the way Brian sings it that puts it over the edge - they were right to have him do the album version. Love hearing Freddie sing it though! Now, where's the Rog version? :-)

Queen playing blues in the Stones style. it kind of remind me of "Black Limousine" from tatoo you

@@queenremix1353 Get a grip of yourself, it's my opinion that's why I said think. Anyway, I've been a super Queen fan for 30 years and know that Freddie sang differently live than having more time in the studio. Of course he'd have recorded better vocals for this song, especially during NOTW where he really dug deep vocally and went for challenging notes.. This live version he sang VERY safe and in a different key. For example, just listen to 1.27... if you think he couldn't sing a line like that better in a studio setting you're kidding yourself on and not a Queen fan. He'd have easily produced better vocals.
