Over the years I've seen upwards of a hundred arena/stadium shows and Queen in 1977 is easily in my top 3. Freddie's also the best rock vocalist I've ever seen live.
Saying Queen was/is overrated is simply dumb. Plus they peaked both commercially and successfully for many years and over a decade before Freddie's death.
