* A more singular Moment of Awesome for Brian May, who got to play ''God Save The Queen'' (which the band had previously covered as an instrumental way back on ''A Night At The Opera'' in 1976) at HMTheQueen's Golden Jubilee celebration.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJgfvp59ExQ&noredirect=1 Good Company]]. Brian May creates the sound of an early-20th century vaudeville jazz band (clarinet, trombones and all) with just his Red Special guitar and some neat studio and amp effects. This was before pro tools, mind.

** Also "Mother Love," which was Freddie's last vocal recording. His almost supernatural performance during the middle eight is enough to send shivers down any listener's spine. When you realise that such powerful singing came from a man with barely a foot out of the grave, the more remarkable it is.

* Their one true SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, though, is their appearance at Wembley Arena during Live Aid, in 1985. Freddie Mercury took a hundred thousand people into the palm of his hand and led them to heaven. Their set during the Live Aid event was recently voted the Greatest Live Gig By Any Band '''''EVER''''', and there have been very few dissenters from this opinion. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-JcbK4Z5Gk They obviously haven't seen Freddie in action.]])

* Under Pressure, mainly for two reasons: 1, it's a collaboration between David Bowie, the other major GlamRock act of the era, and 2, the incredibly high note Freddie hits in the middle.

YMMV goes without saying on the Sugar Wiki pages. Also, \"This troper\".


** Big YMMV on "Radio Ga Ga", some consider it one of Queen's more dull songs.
*** Just watch Live Aid's version... This troper cries in awesomeness after seeing Mercury literally dominating the scenario.
