Summary: REASON FOR CUT PERFORMANCES ON DVD
Comment: THE REASON WHY CERTAIN PERFORMANCES WERE CUT (GNR, METALLICA, EXTREME, DEF LEAOPARD TO NAME A FEW) WERE DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES FOR PUTING THE CONCERT ON DVD...IF YOU ARE A TRUE QUEEN FAN THIS DVD IS FINE BUT FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE CONCERT IN ITS ENTIRTY WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THE VHS AT THIS TIME....WHO KNOWS WHEN THEY'LL RE-ISSUE THE DVD...MAYBE THEY WILL ON BLU-RAY ONE DAY, BUT FOR NOW IT'S ALL WE GOT AT THE MOMENT...

Summary: Poor taste
Comment: I was so excited to finally be finding this on DVD, but like so many others, I am extremely disappointed in that not only were all of the opening acts and footage of Freddie's performances cut out, also Elizabeth Taylor's appearance was cut out! She was one of the main people behind putting this concert together not only for the sake of raising money for AIDS Research, but also in honor of "Queen" and Freddie. Cutting this out was in extremely poor taste! I am so glad I still have my video and that it still works well, but this DVD needs to be re-released with all of the proper footage that is suppose to be on this recording!

Summary: Missing Parts of the Concert
Comment: When I purchased the product, I was expecting a full length concert but to my disappointment, lots of missing parts of it was not included in the DVD. Such as the performances of Def Leppard, Mertallica, Extreme, Guns n' Roses & other artists whom I know participated in the concert. I was not informed that the DVD I was purchasing during the time contains and limited to only selected concert performances.

Summary: Freddie's memory
Comment: I loved this DVD. I cried more than once and re-lived a time I thought had been forgotten. For any Queen fan, this is a must have! I will continue to watch it and remember for years to come. The second DVD was great seeing the behind-the-scenes views and comments from the contributors also!

Summary: Emotionally touching from beginning to end.
Comment: If you loved Freddie, you must see the preformers who flew to Wimbley to pay respect for their friend (and were not compensated). I also bought a copy of this dvd for my extremely difficult to shop for mother, who called me in tears (of happiness) afterward. Proceeds of the concert and dvd sales are donated to AIDS research.
