Hi. I'd like to know in what tour Freddie and Brian started performing "Love of my life". Does somebody know??... By the way... which one do you prefer, the live version or the album version??... So long.

Hi. I don't know the answer to your first question. As for the second, though - I prefer the album version, because it's not sing along. Could do without the harp and backing vocals, though. I would love to have heard a "live" version without the audience sing-along; in other words, with Brian on the acoustic guitar and Freddie singing - alone, *in that lower key.*

The live version started in autumn '77. I prefer the studio take or the live one sung by Brian.
John hated Hot Space. Fred's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' Witness testimonies are often inaccurate. Wales is not in England. 'Bo Rhap' hasn't got 180 voices.

It's perfect in either version to me. The studio version is a master stroke, perfect overdubs by Freddie. The live version is wonderful to listen to if the audience is good. And finally, Brian's version in 2005 is wonderful, I actually thought he was going to fail but it's wonderful to listen to.

Live version from Houston, where it doesn't sound like corny stadiium chant- sang entirely (and beautifuly) by Freddie.

I prefer the Live Version, because the audience always had a wonderful time singing this song. Even in countries where English was not the Language such as in countries like Brazil, they still sang the song beautifully. Take care!!!!!!!

I also prefer Brian on vocals. Freddie sings it well. Brian delivers it perfectly

I'm not joking, just stating my opinion. From what I've read, though - maybe I need to find the Houston version of just Freddie. I wouldn't sing along. Then again, I've never sung along at any concert I've been to, no matter the artist(s). :) YMMV.
