Fantastic, fanastic, fantastic! I was fortunate to be present at this concert and was even more fortunate to be almost within 'plucking' distance of Bri's guitar strings... even made several guest appearances!!! A truly brilliant concert... probably the best I have ever attended.
I have been a Queen fan for many years a Paul Rodgers one (Free & Bad Company) for even longer. Like many people have said (Brian & Roger included) Paul was never going to be a replacement for Dear old Freddie and he never tries to be. Instead he puts his own mark on the Queen material and it works extremely well. A must buy DVD... fantastic!

As a Freddie fan it was a difficult decision to watch this dvd (borrowed from my boss) but it is absolutely fantastic. Paul Rodgers doesn't try to be Freddie but has himself a fabulous voice and this dvd is a wonderful tribute to Freddie. It is very moving and I cried several times - Love of my Life was beautiful and I was amazed that I remembered all the words and sang along with Brian May and the audience. I have bought several copies since I watched this and have my own precious copy now. C

For many years we have enjoyed watching and listening to Queen also Brian Mays solo appearances, but it was only recently that we became aware of Paul Rodgers. But what an amazing combination.No one was ever going to match the voice of Freddie but Paul Rodgers added his own style/slant on some classic Queen numbers, and it worked perfectly.We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Unfortunately we never got to see Queen live while Freddie and John Deacon were still around. But we are going to make every effort to see them and Paul Rodgers in their tour this Autumn. If the 2005 DVD is anything to go by it is a live performance not to be missed.

Brilliant.

I was at this concert myself, literally 5 metres from the front row.. this dvd captures every bit of amazement I saw that night.. Yeah, at first I'll admit, i was unsure how the whole Paul Rodgers thing would work out.. just as many people were wondering. But - in no way did he try and fill Freddie's shoes, Paul put his own unique style of blues into some of the songs and the result was very enjoyable. Id highly recommend this..

Wow, Simply amazing

I, as many others, did not want to like Paul Rodgers. Yes, he's a good singer, but he's just not Freddie. I thought, when i bought this Dvd, that he would try to be, and that it would be good, but just not queen.
And it wasnt.
However, it was, simply amazing, Paul didnt try to be like Freddie, he took the songs and added his own element to the classic queen songs such as "Crazy Little thing called Love" and "Fat bottomed Girls" along with all the others. The Acoustic parts in the middle were a great tribute to Freddie and I thoroughly enjoyed watching (and of course listening) to this Dvd!

A classic band, with an added Element, They would have done Freddie proud
