Secondly, as well as a farewell for the public, the concert also provided a stage for many big name rock acts of the day to pay public acknowledgement and homage to the significant influence the man and the band had on their work.
In defence of the concert mixing engineer on the night, granted that this must have been an extremely difficult concert sound to get right, with an endless procession of guest vocalists all coming on for one song only, and the mixer left trying to compensate for vocalists of widely ranging vocal strengths and singing styles.
Whether this is just due to the relative vocal styles of the individual singers, or the concert mix engineer on the night adjusting and perfecting the concert sound as the night progressed, or an issue exacerbated by the newly inserted surround audio ambience, or indeed all three, I can't say for certain.

 AfterElton.com - Freddy Mercury and Queen (page 2)
Judging from the intense devotion still felt for Mercury from fans everywhere, and acknowledging the special gay/straight chemistry that made Queen so glorious in it’s heyday, surviving Queen members would do well to seriously consider a gay singer for their Freddie Mercury replacement.
It’s significant to note the many “gay” artistic sensibilities Mercury imparted to his band, that helped produce such a commercially and artistically successful collaboration (starting with his idea for their fabulous name).
Mercury’s cinematic vision also pioneered the song’s 1975 video, widely hailed as the first true pop “video” promo that helped to launch the MTV age.

This is a special tenth anniversary edition DVD of the concert that Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon staged to honour their late front man. The concert itself was staged at Wembley Stadium and featured a who's who of the rock world.

A fine tribute to a wonderful artist and more importantly this DVD will raise even more money for various AIDS charities so as well as buying this for the musical content there is a more human reason for buying this DVD and one which I urge you to consider.

Ce dvd est poignant...génial et en meme temps très triste (Freddie étant dans toutes les mémoires)...Je mets cependant que 8 parce que il manque la 1ere partir du concert (avec entre autre un medley du groupe Extreme de toute beauté...!!!) et que le second dvd ne dispose pas de sous titres, ni d'une remasterisation parfaite...
Dommage que les couleurs"bavent", ça gache quelque peu le spectacle, mais en tout cas avec une telle brochette d'artistes on en a pour son argent, le second DVD reste lui un magnifique istorique du groupe, très instructif.
