| 1009.1 | Are we talking about the same concert? | WARHED::GILLILAND | | Wed Apr 22 1992 18:25 | 5 |
| Can you tell me which artists plugged their latest hit ? Most of them
sang Queen songs, which could be construed as `celebrating Freddies
life'.

| Disappointing as far as the television coverage goes, but that could
be due to someone banging nails into the wall next door.
Freinds of mine that went said that it was brilliant (except for
Metallica) live. I'll never know....

| 1009.3 | where did Annie bought her dress...? | UTROP1::BORRIAS_I | | Wed Apr 22 1992 18:35 | 19 |
| I thought it was great, especially Extreme and ofcourse Elton John's
hair"do".....
I agree with the writer before me, I can't think of an artist
or group who plugged their latest song in this concert.
I believe they did it to honour Freddie.... and why not, he was great!
I didn't like the bit when Elizabeth Taylor was on, I first thought
she was going to introduce Madonna or maybe Michael Jackson, but
unfortunately (not for everyone) they weren't there.
Lisa Stansfield did a good one with the vacuum cleaner!!
What do the other noters think of it all ?
Cheers,

| I suppose one shouldn't knock this sort of thing, i guess it was all
meant sincerely, although one does wonder why Freddy Mercury did
nothing to support the AIDS cause while he was alive. I doubt if many
of the people attending/watching cared much about the reason behind the
concert anyway.
As for the Music - I didn't see it coz I always hated Queen anyway,
although I was cheesed off to hear that I missed U2 doing one of thier
own songs.

| 1009.6 | Def Leppard definately miss that extra guitar | CURRNT::PAYNE_A | Discount Pants'n'Haircuts | Wed Apr 22 1992 19:52 | 6 |
| re .1 , .3
Def Leppard seemed to be playing all their tunes including their
current fab'n'groovy offering. Didn't watch it after that.

| You didn't miss much with U2. A Bad sound link made them sound all
muffled, and they cut to them half way through a live show. Bono
didn't acknowledge the fact that they were broadcasting to half the
English speaking world, and the song wasn't all that hot. Video
screens looked good though.

| Def Leppard & U2 sprang to mind as "pluggers"
I thought Guns 'n Roses were fairly average too - Still, at least I can
sleep nights knowing that David Bowie is praying for me...

Watched it all. Performing someone else's songs must be difficult
especially in the case of Freddie Mercury. However, for my money, the
following shone out from the rest...
Roger Daltrey (surprisingly to me)
Elton John (but not on Bohemian Rhapsody)
David Bowie
...but if I had to nominate one person then it would be Lisa
Stansfield. Great voice and style.

| Note for DECwindows users - I *was* joking!
In character ceel mode you'd have seen the [FF] work between my statement and
the last line! I thought it'd be funny to cast in a broad sweeping statement like
that, and then say that I didn't see the show 'cos I was down the pub!
