I must apologise if this has been covered hundreds of times before as I've not bothered to check. I was wondering if according to Brian that Paul Rodgers was one of Freddies heroes and the free fire and water album was one of queens "bibles" then why wasn't Paul invited to perform at the tribute concert? I'm quite sure if asked he would have been delighted to given the scale of the event if nothing else. Is Brian embellishing things again or am I just being a wee bit cynical. By the way I love the Q+PR project, went to see them in 05 and am going twice this year so not looking to bash Paul or Brian for that matter. It was just something that occurred to me earlier and I thought I'd ask.

Another favourite bit still is Robert Plant's Innuendo/Kashmir medley: what a let-down when it was left out of the official release.
And TMLWKY (plus intro) is probably what truly sparked my love for Brian...

Youre probably right, you know what Brians like!

The big farewell of the history!
Incredible show, incredible send-off. I think it's pointless to nit-pick songs/performances, just being able to pull off a show like that and not have it be embarrassing is remarkable.
My favourite moment happened by accident. Brian wasn't supposed to start TYMD... Joe Elliott got lost on his way to the stage and Brian had to start.
Hello Wimbleton!

Really. . .?
you dont think that at that level every one who was meant to be on or back stage wouldn't be. You don't think that Rick O' Brien could do his job as stage stage manager or any number of assistance, do their job.
The idea that they would walk to the stage without the vocalist they need is plain stupid. And the idea of a show with Brian singing the 1st verse and chorus isn't a possibility.
Did you get a chance to see how the back stage are worked. Or did you just get mixed up with the Spinal Tap movie.

What I remember most was Roger's part in the show. He looked formidable, sad and contented with the turnout at the same time. I could read the emotions on his face from song to song, and it struck me that he was more of a "musical director" than I'd ever realized before. He really looked like the driving force behind the whole tribute, both on and off stage. It was the only time I was ever impacted by the logo on a bass drum...
Somehow I suspect that after the show he got himself royally drunk to numb the pain of having to do it without Freddie.
