              it was not so bad in this way.... Freddies voice wasn't bad and the musics was very great(didn't have so much hits, but musics was great).... and Bri, rog, John and Freddie's performance was very great..... in my opinion! ;D

what is there to like about wembley?....why get on someone who likes a particular show?...that's Just plain stupid..  everyone says it was a hits show,  but what other show that was recorded has radio ga ga, a kind of magic,  friends will be freinds, one vision, tear it up.  Obviously you can't find these songs on live killers or at the bowl, so why are you complaining about song selection?....also, besides a few songs like "another one bites the dust" and "break free"  which were horrible. overall I love freddie's voice in this show. very powerful, operatic. Love it!....lap of the gods,  magic, radio ga ga,  who wants to live forever, Imprompu, tie your mother down,  under pressure are some examples I love.  I still like the earlier shows the best, but no reason to put down a huge event that was wembely.

mike hunt wrote: Agreed, songs like  bites the dust, under pressure are played out.  Though if they played those same songs that were on live killers over and over in the eighties, and never played a kind of magic, and radio ga ga, the same people would be crying that they never heard them play those songs.

We got all the songs that we need from the live albums. Live killers has the 70's stuff

mike hunt wrote: well, maybe we'll get one more 70's release and some of those missing songs will be there.  White Queen in particular is brilliant live.  Maybe even better than the studio version.

No, i think you got them all.  I agree with your list.
