1.Does anybody have a complete audio and video recording of this show (soundboard quality)?
2.Does anyone know the correct order of songs?
Mr. Scully's QueenConcerts.com says:
1. Born To Rock'n'roll
2. In My Defence
3. It's In Every One Of Us (with Cliff Richard)
4. Time
I've got two songs in excellent soundboard quality: It's In Every One of Us and Time. Right after Time Cliff Richard starts singing It's Every One of Us, so is the order @Queenconcerts correct?
3.Are any songs mimed? Time sounds like the album version to me...
THANX!
1) QUEEN Productions, I guess. Ask them. ;-)
2) I am not 100% sure. There is strong evidence to think that It's In Everyone Of Us was the last track performed in the event, but unfortunately I was not there so I cannot confirm that for sure.
3) Not a chance. By the way, it does not seem likely that the version of Time you have is from the 'Give TIME for AIDS' stage performance of 1988. I guess you have instead a mix from Time and Time - reprise, both taken from the original album. The live version of Time does not sound at all like the album version - except that both have audience sounds in them!
Live as recorded while the musical was being performed! I have a soundtrack version on vinyl of Time The Album with Freddie singing live, and it sounds great!
(I wonder what Freddie thought of Sir Laurence Olivier being part of the cast!)
The musical album wasn't recorded live. If I'm not mistaken, the tracks were recorded at Abbey Road studios in October/November 1985. The audience was mixed in later. The only time Freddie appeared on stage with the Time tracks was April 14, 1988 at the Dominion Theatre.

True. There isn't any officially released Time-material of Freddie that's live.
It's a pretty good facsimile then -- it fooled me! The booklet inside the album states "World Premiere, The Dominion Theatre, London 09 April 1986". The picture of Freddie (with those red-and-gold suspenders!) is not so good, he looks tired.
You're right: it was recorded at Abbey Road. Think I'll give it another listen for those canned audience voices...
