Oh, and you forgot to use the word "am". Should've been the 2nd word.

I corrected the error in my original post. I guess I have become too reliant on word processing programs with spell checkers and grammar checkers.
By the way, your second sentence could be improved. It should have read:
"It should have been the second word."

Panchgani reply:
There are plenty of bands that cater to their most loyal customers AND the mass market. It is called "hearing the voice of the customer" and is unfortunately only practiced by a limited number of ethical and quality driven world class companies.

I'm still curious as to how a free AIDS awareness concert is being released, seemingly for commercial gain.
Does anyone know what, if any, share of the profits are going to AIDS charities?

I would assume, minus production costs (DVD authoring, replication, distribution and all inbetween), the profits would most likely go towards the Freddie Mercury Phoenix Trust and/or the 46664 Foundation.

If he wanted to use English 100% properly, then yes he should have wrote that.
However, the way he wrote it also works, but kinda comes off moreso as street talk than proper conversational taLk.

You would hope so. What worries me is that I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere.

Well, shall wait and see. It's always typical Queen behaviour not to be 100% forthcoming with all details initially.

Very disappointing that they're not releasing any bonus material. Let's face it, we're not going to see anything interesting from the tour as there won't be any future releases. This was Queen Productions big chance to do something right for a change and they've completely blown it. Still, it's hardly a surprise: Queen and "quality" are increasingly parting ways.

I have to reluctantly agree with your comments - this was such a perfect opportunity to really produce something unique and we get a very run of the mill DVD. I appreciate the size of this audience but beyond that what's new? I'd have loved to have seen a fly on the wall documentary of what goes on behind a tour like this and I'm sure the band etc and the various venues they encountered could have made for some really exciting tv output but unfortunately this will never happen. Really what would they have lost if they'd done something like this and released a number of full concerts at the same time from the tour. They could have really set the bar for what others would have to live up to.
Dont' get me wrong I really appreciate what Paul, Brian and Roger have done in recent years but with a little more thought they could have produced something really really special. They've let the cameras in behind the scenes in the past - look at the Magic Years volume 1 or the NATO classic albums recording for the BBC - maybe they should title the live album that goes with the new DVD - 'Opportunities Lost' instead of 'The Cosmos Rocks' ? Even if they put together a compilation of the various press conferences on the DVD that we all witnessed from the Ukraine and the South American gigs this would be at least something but no all we ever get is vanilla.
I'll still buy this but wish for something more comprehensive which will now never happen.

And so endeth the English lesson! I didn't know Queenzone included free correspondence English classes - I'm sure people are only trying to be helpful. Good English usage is a skill we should all aspire to but this is only a forum after all.

e-man
many opportunities wasted with this release. no doubt
they could have done a stones release, and have 3 concerts in one package including a documentary and lots of other cool stuff.
they could have had an audio commentary on the gig at least, with the entire band talking - could have been very interesting.
notice how "could have" is the tense
