Saying "bloody excited" is British English. I don't hear it around here...

Oh I thought I used freaking or fucking, but thought twice and changed. What do you think?

Natural
I think it's natural if you're aiming for British English but if you're aiming for American English I would say "I was really freaking excited before the live performance."
saying "fucking excited" is really strong and saying that around some people can make them feel uncomfortable (depends on the person though) "freaking" is also pretty strong but it seems like that's what you're going for so it's fine!

We don't really say "bloody excited" in British English either... you could replace it with "I was really excited" or "I was so excited", but any of the other suggestions work too
