It wasn't the best concert. My memories are most singers struggled, the crowd didn't want George Michael until he sang and then they wanted him to front the band. Axl and Elton were dreadful. It was a lesson in how to ruin some great songs.
Adam Lambert hasn't done a bad job. Saw them at the start at Hammersmith Apollo.

It was a genuine tribute and featured most of the hot acts of the hour so it didn’t need to be polished, but yeah, most of them weren’t very good - I seem to recall Extreme and Waxl struggling badly. One thing that I do have memories of being brilliant, if I’m remembering right, was Robert Plant singing Innuendo with Queen, that song was made for him and he made it a million times better than Queen ever could.

Extreme got the mood of the day perfectly. A 20 minute Queen medley done very well. Crowd on the day loved it. Metallica were fine, GnR pretty awful. Def Leppard were good from what I remember. Highlight of the second half was undoubtedly George Michael and also Gary Cherone’s Hammer to Fall. I can’t remember much of Plant except that I had a pretty weird dream about him on Friday night last week.

Forgot Def Leppard was there, can’t really imagine them being any good tbh. Percy was on Desert Island Discs the other day, very good.

I'm going slightly mad. I thought the concert began at 6pm, I didn't realise it had been on all day-oh.

I prefer The Beatles lyrics.

Doesn't make me feel so old.
