I remember waiting outside for the gig that Easter monday and it definately said on the back of one of the Black official T shirts that Gary Glitter was on the bill . I also remember Alan "Fluff " Freeman on the Radio 1 Rock show on the saturday night ( would have been saturday 18th April 1992 ) interviewing Slash , Slash stated that GnR were doing FOUR songs , on the day they only played two , Paradise City and Knocking On Heavens Door . It was in the OIQFC summer 1992 magazine that it said Chris Thompson was going to sing A kind Of Magic , but this was dropped due to the gig over running . It has also been rumoured that Roger Taylor was going to sing Old Friends ( from the Happiness album ) although if this is true or not I dont know . Hope this helps 8-)

No it didn't. Trust me. Every official T shirt had the exact same cast list. I can't immediately find any pics, but do have at least 2 T shirts from that day.

Here's the back of the T-shirt:
I know for a fact there was a black t shirt with the cast list on the back , that included mr glitter on sale on the day as i was stood for 4 hours behind a group of guys wearing them ! 8 -) ( and no my memories not playing tricks on me , as i remembered thinking at the time , oh no not gary glitter ) .
Maybe there were some shirts from an early batch on sale on the day as well as later batches ? Unless these shirts were unofficial merchandise ? There were people selling an unofficial programme outside afterwards , but i didnt bother to get one , as I'd already bought the official programme . Does anyone have a pic of this unofficial programme ? ( not the blue official one with freddie on the front )

1. Early batch? You cheeky bastard, I was there before the stalls opened!
2. Unofficial is correct...

I don't know if Roger would have sung Old Friends - even if the song has been written, the Happiness? album didn't come out for a couple of years after the FM Tribute gig. Brian Sang Too Much Love Will Kill You, but this was soon to be released on Back To The Light.
