Read all the reviews, unfortunately they only had the CD to listen to. I was fortunate to be in London in Feb. 1994 when this was available on VHS (PAL) version. Since I have a couple of multisystem VCR's I am able to enjoy this concert like it should be. Yeah, Brians voice often was a little weak, but what did you expect, he is from a band that had Freddie Mercury handling the majority of the vocals. The guitar playing was top notch and the band was extemely well suited to backing him up. Also the backing vocalists were quite attractive and they were very talented as well and put a lot of "movement" into singing the backing vocals. The concert was extremely well filmed and it is a shame that this has not been released to DVD yet and may never be. At least I bought two copies, so if the one ever wears out, I still have another, and I am probably the only one in the US to have this...lucky me. If you only bought the CD version of this, you only got half the show, this was a concert that was very entertaining and to see Brian playing the "Red Special" up close a lot was great. Dennis C.

No one can down Brian May. His vocal is and has always been tremendous. Anyone who has listened carefully to the Queen albums knows that Brian's vocals are and have always been immaculate. Playing amazing guitar at the same time just gives him more points. The fact that he's performing old Queen tunes just goes to show how much of their material he actually penned. Hail Brian May. Hail Queen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard-edged,explosive,and from the heart, January 9, 1999

This album captures the style that Brian contributed most to Queen: hard-edged, emotion-packed music. This is a roller coaster ride through his solo work and songs from Queen. I especially liked his version of "Since you've been gone". This album is a must for any fan of Queen or Brian May. When he plays "Now I'm Here", it is awsome to hear Brian do the vocals. His soulful approach to Freddie's words is inspiring. GET THIS ALBUM!
