	Does anyone have the actual tracklisting from this concert? It would be interesting to have, even if it can't be easilly got. I checked the Queen Live section, but I couldn't find it so... can anybody give me a hand?

(You forgot Sweet Child O'Mine from Guns N'Roses and I think Extreme also played Love Of My Life). What can you say about this show? The band itself was great but the guest singers were differently successful: Elliott was only average, Daltrey was good, Cherone absolutely ridiculous (yes!), Hetfield looked a bit clumsy without his guitar but he did a very good job, Plant had voice problems (no wonder Innuendo wasn't officially released), Brian's perfomance was poor, but don't forget it was the first time he sang alone in front of such a crowd Paul Young, Seal & Lisa Stansfield were good but not at the right place, Zucchero: yuck! Bowie's performance was interesting because the band played non-Queen songs (All The Young Dudes and Heroes), Elton John, Axl Rose & Lisa Minelli: forget them! Like everyone else, I would say that George Michael stole the show. If the band tours again, he is the only one who can sing with them, and certainly not Bono or Elton John. (I know that for timing reasons, they didn't play A Kind Of Magic, which Roger was supposed to sing - dunno if the rehearsal has been filmed).

	Everybody isn't Freddie Mercury, Freddie F ! I found your words very hard. Brian performance wasn't poor, but maybe plenty of emotion, don't you think ?

	Brian was dreadful here the worst he has ever played but I think he looked as if his mind was on other things at times so its understandable. Yes Extreme did play LOML (and dreadful it was too) but I cant remember GnR doing Sweet child 'o' mine.

	No GnR definately didn't do Sweet Child.

Robert Plant himself told before the show: "no-one of us can sing the songs the exact way Freddie did but the most important thing is that we sing them" and he was right, of course. It's rather ironic he delivered one of the less interesting perfomances of the evening but he's only human. As for Brian, I said his performance was poor but Ernieb is right, because he was in charge of the organization and everything else. For me, he was better on Tie Your Mother Down, even if he forgot some words: he should have sung it alone.
