"So I bought the cd today... At least they're honest on sticker at the front ("their 2005 sellout tour"). :P
I didn't get even halfway through the first disc when I got bored out of my mind, and skipped to listen only the Rodgers tracks... Because those sound decent enough.
As entertaining as they were in concert, this just doesn't work on cd. :I"
Ok. You're entitled to your opinion. You're wrong, but you're still entitled to be wrong. :)

But I had few other Fred's favourites- what about Hangman? ;) I know- no chance they could play THIS, but... apparently influenced by Free it was (and you can hear it) :) What about Get Down Make Love? Man, this track would be a killer if Paul sang it! Have you heard Glen hughes version? That could have been even better!!! [/QUOTE]
Nope, I only know the Nine Inch Nails cover of GDML.
Your remark about Hangman made me think about what is considered obscure what it isn't as far as superstar artists go (Hangman IS obscure by all standards, no questioning that :))
I mean in Paris quite a few people had absolutely no clue to what was going on outside of GH1 and GH2. That means that a lot of people who went to a Queen show have never heard ANATO, which was arguably the body of the setlist outside the compilations (39, LOML, IMILWMC)
I also read that people in the US are taking bathroom breaks from the current Paul McCartney show during songs like Till There Was You (With The Beatles) or Too Many People (Ram) going like, ugh, these must be new songs...
I mean, it's ok to only have tom petty's greatest hits, but queen and the beatles, listen to the albums for c***'s sake !

And they're all Brian's tracks :) But yeah, i really think WHITE MAN or IT'S LATE would kill with Paul on vocals... Same probably goes for DRAGON ATTACK...
I havent completely read all the comments above, so I applogise.
I can listen to Roger talking bollocks for hours so Im gonna really big him up. Hes on top form, they all are.
Paul is a stadium singer and hes good at it. He complements Brian and Roger.
I do love this CD, and cant wait to see the DVD when it is released over here in the UK

Bit cheeky of Brian playing the opening riff of White Man before Fat Bottomed Girls.
The cd is fine but the track listing will never work for me.Plus what the f is Break Free doing there? FBG should have folloed TYMD. The set goes flat too quickly.

YES!!! FBG should be straight after TYMD- AGREE! If putting anything between them- that could have been... White Man ;)
If its the case that lots of folks switched off when non GH tracks were played..... it would have done no harm to play White Man / Its Late. I've been banging this drum since the tour was announced!!!
Also what was wrong with doing some of the better known GH tracks such as Headlong?
I think a medley of old material would have been a blast. I saw Genesis do this around '93 (i think it made there live album) and it worked splendidly. Lost Opportunity i believe (no pun intended)
Each to their own but i could live without Dust and Break Free any day.

Genesis did indeed perform a brilliant 20 minute medley of some 5-6 "classic hits" on their We Can't Dance tour... But then again, they had had a medley of the older, less commercial songs in their setlist ever since they hit the big time in the late 70's/early 80's.
Queen on the other hand... tried to forget it's past more and more with every tour. :/

Speaking of lost opportunities, what about Paul saying he wanted to include Innuendo and Is This The World We Created in the set !!!
lol what bollox from someone who obviously didn't see Queen in the 80's! Second to last ever Queen tour included Medley's of their old songs 3 of which came from their very first album! KYA, Liar, Great King Rat plus SSOR, SCC, KQ I don't think I need to go on find a Works tour bootleg you will see Queen never forgot their past!
btw ROTC is superb for a live CD can't wait for the DVD now!

God I love Last Horizon. I can't stop listening to it. It just bring back the memories of the spinning disco ball throwing pockets of light over a mezmerised audience. Awesome.

Yes, that's one tour. With snippets that are about one minute long (I guess that's how much they could remember of the songs..).
Personally, I wouldn't make such a big deal out of it as you have, but then again I'm not exactly fanatic about Queen anymore.
