Some Queen Live Magic snaps for my Queen friends (and I).
I was at the radio station, which is 101 years old and so has a bit of everything, and while our general lack of Queen vinyl does surprise me, I did find a Queen live CD. Here’s Live Magic, sent to us as a promotional disc in 1996.

The musical whiplash of A Night at the Opera should be studied. In order, that album goes:

Guys I need you all to watch this, the beginning of The Last Dinner Party's set live on this tour. I am still recovering from seeing them live hee hee. They're so good. They were so good. Boundless energy. Excellent atmosphere. Timeless in some ways.
Singer Abigail Morris is so energetic on stage, she barely ever stopped moving around and dancing the entire hour that she was on stage.
I love the dressing, every member had their own style on stage, and you could see this was a group of people each bringing ideas to the table. Also, as is often the case with new bands, entirely democratic. From guitarist Emily Roberts in the fairy/angel dress, to Abigail's Edwardian corsage, and the various biker-rock and punk rocker looks the rest of the band adopted.
What struck me (and this is almost strange to me) is that when they first came on stage, given we'd all only ever seen them in pictures so far, was that they were so small. So tiny. They were literally just girls, like many of us in the crowd, and so small... and then as the show progressed, I noticed them change in my perception: they seemed to grow taller, grander, bugger before my eyes. I cannot explain it, because it's not as if we didn't go into this loving them, but somehow they began to cut a taller, more impressive figure before our very eyes as our admiration grew. They almost grew into that role, you could say. I mentioned this to my friend, who was also beside me on the barrier (we got barrier! Queued for 7 hours), and they felt the same. It might just be an effect the girls have!
So here for you to try and live second-hand and vicariously through, is the intro to their live set, Prelude to Ecstasy, and the first song they performed, Burn Alive.

This is more punk than the whole of punk history.
I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).
Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.”
Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

Freddie Mercury may very well have had the biggest dick energy of anyone who ever lived
