Thanks R,
I always say, something recorded is always better than nothing recorded, so even though it's only the second half, if it wasn't for you putting yourself out, most likely none of it would have been recorded.
Thanks Again, you're a star, my friend.
Thanks for everyone's positive reactions to the QE recordings. Interesting tidbits to note about this concert is that before LOML, Marc didn't know what year ANATO came out. Since Tyler was sick, he had to heavily modify the phrasing in IILWMC. In addition, Brian messed up the guitar solo on KQ, Marc did the standard live phrasing in the rock section of Bo Rhap (Ab4), Tyler dropped a drum stick through the middle of his drumkit 3/4 into Radio Ga Ga, so he had to use the other side of a mallet to finish the song, and Marc accidentally started playing Champions in the wrong piano octave.
Overall, it was a weaker show than the Tarrytown one, but it's understandably so. Regardless, the traveling there and back was worth it. Also to note, the venue did have one wide angle camera set up to broadcast the concert to the mezzanine area, so I wonder if that footage will be kept.
I knew that QE had lost Jeff and Yvan, but I didn't know that Tyler was getting more lead vocal duties as a result. That's pretty cool. I assume he was singing those songs while drumming at the same time.
It looks like they didn't tinker with the setlist at all, which is too bad. It would be nice if they could drop a song or two to make room for some stuff that they missed the first time around (namely Keep Yourself Alive, but there are others that would also be great to hear).
I want to see these guys again at some point, but I don't know if I want to try and go soon or wait a little while longer. Any idea how long they will be around? I suppose if it remains popular they'll be able to carry on for a long while, even if it requires lineup changes. If there are lineup changes, will they still be able to have the same level of quality? Most importantly of all, can you tell I've been thinking about this recently?

Your assumption would be most correct, good sir :)
