Watch the song on YouTube and make up your own minds..... he totally destroys the song, shouting and singing out of tune and out of time.

I went to the tribute/awareness gig and it was good.To judge it on youtube is a shame really but if thats all youve got then thats all youve got.  Reading a couple of replies though made me realise why brian may is so adamant about re dubbing live albums.[/QUOTE]Anyway, George Michael blew the place apart, no doubt about it.  After he had finished Somebody to love you could actually sense that he had done something special. you could sense it in the crowd and you could sense it on the stage. To relegate it to average is very unfair indeed. The other better performance was mott the hoople, you could also feel that.  or maybe that was because everyone enjoyed being on stage together.[/QUOTE]The rest were okay really.  robert plant was okay even though he struggled on innuendo, daltry was okay, metallica were okay. spinal tap were neither here or there. everybody was good i guess but george michael and mott the hoople got the best reactions.  Also when brian, roger and john came out at the beginning the reaction was huge.  To be honest if theyd sung ba ba black sheep the crowd would have still gone crazy.[/QUOTE]The liz taylor thing will be seen now, many years and counting later, as a strange thing to do and seem very odd but at the time it made a certain amount of sense.  the occasion was meant to be more about music, it really was meant to be about awareness.[/QUOTE]Ahh, at the stadium the U2 link didnt come across very well at all.  not because it was rubbish but because it was difficult to come across.  we wanted queen songs[/QUOTE]my thoughts anyway.[/QUOTE]  [/QUOTE]

a little kkkkkkkkk

There in person.

It wasn't anything to do with Innuendo that made him the highlight - the segue into Kashmir was just something of TRUE beauty and so seamlessly done - absolutely no one expected it; and something that Freddie would have simply LOVED.

All the Live Earth, Live 8 etc.. gigs are crammed with very poor and average acts, some of which are hopeless live, but are put there by their record company simply to get exposure.

I get the same feeling when watching Live 8, Live Earth, Queen's Jubilee Concert, etc on DVD, youtube,etc. The newer groups are damp squibs and the real legends save the day everytime.

It was a great gig.

All the young dudes I remember as a particular highlight.

I don't know why they had the U2 link.  We couldn't hear it in the ground and had a mexican wave in the stands instead.  U2 never liked Queen, muscially or personally.

We had the tribute gig and the fan club convention within a few weeks of each other.  When they were both over I really crashed with the end of all the activities.
