I'm not a huge fan of Hot Space as Queen albums go. Nor was I a great fan of the studiio version of this particular song on the album. But, by god, playing it live changes this song completely. It is a great song live. Makes you completely re-appreciate it.

From Wiki:

Live performances

This song was played throughout the Hot Space Tour and to an extent, on The Works Tour. The live version of Staying Power is slightly different than the album version. Morgan Fisher would take over the keyboard parts and replace the Oberheim with the Roland Jupiter 8. Taylor would replace the drum machine with acoustic drums. Also of note is that it would be the only song played live in which Deacon played rhythm guitar, as the bass was done via keyboard.

I was taken back when Hot Space came out but now listening to it, the playing was top drawer. John Deacon was funking the place up with this bass riffs

One thing about Queen they were unique they never followed other bands that is what made them great.
