I can't do it myself or I would, not home right now. link
In that tweet there's a link to the livestreaming Queen Extravaganza is having andinner Freddie's birthday thing. Starts in 52 minutes it says.
Forgive any typos, I'm writing from a bumpy bus on my mobile phone.

The 'NOTO' section was awesome,especially the drummer,after that it all became rather bland and karaoke!
Agreed - I don't quite understand why they would learn ANATO almost note-for-note (the vocal harmonies especially were absolutely superb), yet then when they played 'the hits' afterwards there was a fair bit of improvisation and changing parts going on.
I wonder if they will present any other albums in their entirety in the future...
They did have a few problems however...Martel messed up timing wise coming back in after the guitar solo on 'Death on Two Legs' and had a few other vocal fluffs where he forgot lyrics or repeated verses, and they had to restart Good Company due to an untuned ukulele!

The same reason why any band has trouble keeping up the enthusiasm when they have to play the hits yet again ... !

Apparently, except for one rehearsal six hours before the Montreux show, they hadn't played together since the UK tour last November.
A fan on Facebook commented that Martel messed up a line in "I Was Born To Love You" by actually using a line from "Made In Heaven" and speculated that maybe "Made In Heaven" will be a future addition to the setlist.

Looks like it's been made private on YouTube now though.
Try searching "Queen Extravaganza Live" on Vimeo for some joy. ;-)
Great concert. From the "ANATO-set" I liked best Sweet Lady, Seaside, Prophets Song, Bohemian Rhapsody and Seaside. Sweet Lady is actually a song I have always skipped, but QE gives it new life for me. Amazing version!

I watched the concert on vimeo. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if this concert will be made available at some point. The sound mix is far from perfect. Marcs voice is at times so drowned in the instruments you can barely hear him. I hope they will do some mixing on the sound and make it available for us.
