I wonder why there wasnt Cliff Richard, one of the best Freddie's friends?

Why would the Stones be there in the first place? Musically, other than Now I'm Here which pays homage to the Stones and Chuck Berry, there's nothing common about the bands other than the fact they're British. People invited were supposed to be influenced by (Metallica, Extreme, Guns), or influences on (Liza) Freddie. Of course I'm totally baffled as to which category Spinal Tap, Lisa Stansfield and Paul Young fit into.

Makes you wonder all the same why Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and pretty much everyone in the second half except the last two you mentioned were invited. =P I wonder if they really were influenced at all. ;) As far as influence is concerned, then a lot of bands could be invited...Bon Jovi, Blind Guardian, Nirvana, etc...

It was the FM tribute not goddamn live aid. It was supposed to be a concert with guest musicians, not an ultra-mega-show with every single bloody band and singer on the face of earth. Simple as that.
I thought AKOM was dropped after Spinal Tap's issues, as well.
It's unlikely that the police would have threatened arrest at half eight in the evening - it's not as if AKOM was to be the last song, is it?
It's more likely you've transposed the end of Hyde Park '76.
And yes Billy Squier, The Scorpions, Sam Fox, Harvey Goldsmith were all on stage at the end. I didn't see Gary Moore though, although all the photos are of the same half of the stage so it's hard to be sure.

Jim and Gerry were also on stage that night.
I'll try to get a screencap of the man I think is Gary Moore and I'll post it here.

Damn! For the past 10 years I've thought it was Gary Moore...
How stupid am I? :(
