And he DID steal the show for me. George Michael was ok as was Bowie but many others were an embarassment. The less said about Robert Plants performance the better. Very ill judged. The real satrs of this show were the rock bands. Metallica, G n R, Def Leppard and Extreme were easilly the best on stage that day.
Except for Spinal Tap of course :)[/QUOTE]
This reply is coming from a guy who prefers hard rock over the type of music George Michael does, but I would say GM was better than "OK". I'll take ten Guns & Roses songs over anything by GM/Wham etc., but George was nothing short of great at the tribute...he just shouldn't do any gay dancing at rock concert. As for my man Robert Plant...he really wasn't very good, but in his defence, he couldn't be a more different singer than Freddie-although that no excuse for not at least learning the lyrics! And, as someone else noted-that shirt! Elton John probably laughed and said "Christ, I wouldn't even wear that!"

Robert Plant wasn't that bad.
Okay... he was pretty awful really, unreliable, but it's a shame - I really think if he'd just gotten the words it might not have been so awful. There were signs, later in Innuendo, that his voice was warming up. I dislike his performance of Innuendo not for what it was, but what it really ought to have been :P
And I stand by Daltrey; perhaps not the most delicate or skilled of singers, but what a voice, and he still has it after all this time. His I Want It All is my favourite live version ever.
