25. We Are The Champions (Queen-Live In Barcelona: 8/1/1986)

I think this is honestly the best version on the magic tour. If not this, it is probably second Leiden or Brussels.

There's a few other versions that edge it out: Stockholm, 2nd Leiden, Brussels, Mannheim, etc for the overall performance, but this version has the most chest power on the COME THROUGH line!

@Gregsynthbootlegs Really, I've always thought Stockholm had the most chest power, and then Mannheim. I like this version because I like the way he sings that line, plus the fighting in the first verse. But to me, Stockholm, 2nd Leiden, Brussels, and Mannheim are all tied.

[Gregsynthbootlegs]

Stockholm has the C5, and Mannheim has brute force!

@Gregsynthbootlegs And you have the hot sister!

I'm so GIFTED! LOL

The way he reaches the "Fightinnnngggg" note was superb, you can tell he couldn't have given it anymore, he nearly cracks he sings it so strongly!

Also I always love it when he doesn't go down a note on the phrase "but I've come through" and holds that note like he did at say Stockholm/Brussels, etc.

That's why I wrote the "Persian Dragon" comment! LOL

You think this was the most "powerful" WATC on the tour?
