Haha. I Wonder what made them play that fucking song! FFS ! of all the times I've met Brian why isn't this at the top of my list of qUestions? [/QUOTE]
It was a UK number one hit. It is a very good song. It has a dynamic range that works well live, It is relatively simple to play live, even if they messed it up. It was an opportunity to invite Plant to appear at the Tribute. Plant probably was Fred's favourite (male) singer.

Innuendo is one of Queen songs I love very much.
I don't get into discussing whether Plant is a good singer or not, he didn't sing this song good. That was my opinion when I was 15 year old and watched live on tv, my opinion is the same now.

Like it or loathe it, it's all history now so the song remains the same.
Perhaps it went better in rehearsal, when nerves weren't an issue.
It was a nice of Plant to attempt it, it could have been great.
Given the occasion, the crowd accepted the gesture in good spirit, and that's what really matters.

Oh I'm sorry. I was continuing it as if in conversation!
I meant THE IMMIGRANT SONG. I was laughing my ass off remembering the first time i heard that "cover " ....must've been 15 years ago if not more. It was hilarious.
THAT'S what i meant. Not INNUENDO. ...INNUENDO is fantastic. And as most of my posts attest to. ....it's probably my favorite QUEEN album (though probably not their "BEST"...i don't like absolutes like that)
My response was about THE IMMIGRANT SONG

I recorded it as it happened on vhs,but when the official video was released,I usually watched that,so I haven't heard this performance of Innuendo in many years. Maybe I was caught up in the atmosphere of the event as I watched it live, but I don't recall Plant's version being as shockingly bad as that. Truly dreadful. As it's one of my favourite Queen songs,I was probably more interested in hearing Brian, Roger and John performing it onstage for the first time than I was in Plant's vocals.

That should be long enough to recover.

The atmosphere at Wembley that day was amazing. I think anyone could have got on that stage and with the band a performed at what ever standard an would have been welcomed by an audience who seemed so pleased that other "stars" we're performing Queen songs with Brian, Roger and John in memory of Freddie.
On the day inperfections, and who was responsible for them, didn't matter and probably went unnoticed by most.
