Some old woman phoned a comment in because it was supposed to finish by 10pm (!!!), which was…
"I know these young people enjoy their pop concerts, but 4 and a half hours is a bit much when I'm waiting for my Snooker to start"
Haha!!!

Hearing John speak, seeing up close how emotional Brian was, hearing the Red Special play things like Pin Ball Wizard, staring at Roger from the front of the crowd watching every move he made on the drums thinking it would be the last time I would ever see him play, finding almost everyone around me and me included crying at certain points... so emotional and so over powering
A stunningly sad and happy day at the same time

Then later finding myself in the crowd on the VHS right at the end of the gig! Brilliant

I remember queuing up the steps next to the Freddie lookalikey, when he got to the top he started singing Radio Ga Ga. Even the police on horseback were joining in with the handclaps !

Organising a host of electronics to record as much of it as possible (three tape decks, two VHS recorders)
Getting to Wembley at 8am.
Sitting outside until about 10, when some poor sod stood up to stretch his legs and set off a mass movement that had everyone queuing up against each other to get in.
All sorts of rumours of who would be on - didn't realise that the papers had been given the entire setlist in advance!
Getting to a decent spot (on the pitch, about twenty yards in front of Brian's mic) and being very glad to sit down.
Until about 12:30, when some poor sod stood up to stretch his legs and set off another mass movement.
Cheering, singing, crying. Being very bored during Liz Taylor. Not being able to make out U2's video contribution as it was a dark video being played on a video screen in broad daylight. Bumping into a woman I knew from fan conventions on the pitch as we milled our way out.
Being emotionally drained the next day. And a bit sunburnt.

Standing under a gantry when Metallica struck their first chord. The pigeons that had made the gantry their home shat themselves, flew off and left the people standing below (to our left) covered in bird shit.
Grandma Liz was an embarrassment. Spinal Tap were not funny. The Lords Prayer was crass and presumptuous. Liza Minnelli - we were all left scratching our heads at that one........
Daltrey, Iommi, Metallica and George Michael were incredible. All The Young Dudes was a real surprise. Where was Montserratt?

Metallica is a great live band, and they've kept the quality of their live performances high to this day. Their 1991 concert in Moscow was phenomenal.

Not sure why "Liza Minnelli - we were all left scratching our heads at that one........"
Freddie absolutely worshipped her. Totally fitting that she was the finale - the one act that Freddie would have chosen above all others (even Aretha).

Thought the most disappointing performance was Elton John's first bit of BR. It's as if he was just playing one chord and not the actual melody at all.
Paul Young's voice was totally lost during Radio Ga Ga, he may as well have been miming.
Thought on the DVD mix the sound of the crowd was quite poor when it came to hearing them singing along during the songs, as if the important thing in the mix was the vocals of the artist whereas it would have been much more enjoyable had we been able to hear the crowd sing along

Bullshit. He'd have had Montserratt there before Brian.
