Official release: Queen + Paul Rodgers - Return Of The Champions (2CD, DVD)

Collecting > Official live releases > Return Of The Champions

A recording from the 2005 "reunion" tour with Paul Rodgers. The DVD is definitely worth buying. Musically it's pretty good although some of the "mistakes" from the past are repeated again. The drums don't sound so strong, some camera angles are inappropriate (especially the most exciting moment of the gig - falling curtain - is fucked up) and - as usually - the recording is NOT a complete recording of what happened that night in Sheffield (09.05.2005). The intro (Lose Yourself) is missing which is a HUGE mistake on the DVD - it was used to build the tension before Paul came on the stage to sing Reachin' Out. Also some short parts are overdubbed (Roger forgetting lyrics in These Are The Days In Our Lives) and some speeches between songs are edited out or replaced with words from other gigs (why, for god's sake?).
