I don’t think I’d ever really taken the time to sit down and watch footage of a live Queen show.  It blew my mind.    I watch a lot of recorded performances but this one really stood out.    I actually ran out and got a DVD of the show this week and I love it.  You can get the Montreal Show alone, but I recommend getting the extended version released in 2007.  It’s around the same price, the sound is great, and the latter version includes Queen’s performance at Live Aid.

I’m compiling a list of my favorite performances captured on film,  and I’ll blog about my selections as soon as I stop arguing with myself.   Until then, here’s Freddie doing “Play the Game” from the ’81 show – it gets me every time.  Enjoy!
