Classic live CD for 1990's music fans. Maybe too many covers, but they all sounded awesome. Expected "Polly" and "Something In The Way," as they were unplugged on "Nevermind," but some electric songs sounded better here than electric. Nirvana could sound better live; some rock bands don't.
Queen played lots of famous songs, unlike "Live At The Rainbow 74," also on Blu-ray. Great picture, great songs, well-filmed, sounds fantastic. Minor issue: Freddie didn't need to strip to boxer shorts for final three songs. "Live Aid" show in SD, not High-Def. Still, Grade: A+
Great picture, great sound, great filming, great song selection--everything about this one-show concert was fantastic. Well worth buying for classic rock fans. I enjoyed the new songs, like "Flying High," as much as the classics, which isn't true of all aging bands.

One-show concert had great picture and sound, but had short running time. Didn't have better Doors songs like "Break On Through" or "Crystal Ship," but not many Doors concerts on video (that I know of). Doors are "must see" for classic rock fans, yet too much Jim Morrison so-called "poetry" behind music. Still, it's hard to believe, with their legend, Doors had such short career.
Sounded better than "Right Here, Right Now" from 1990s with Sammy Hagar (that CD sounded like it was recorded from the very back row of the stadium), but Sammy sounded better than David. Why was it recorded in Tokyo? Van Halen fans live in America. Didn't know what David said in Japanese. Band played heavier with David than with Sammy. Wolfgang didn't ruin it, but David didn't quite keep the timing, and sounded weak. Still, it played fantastic on road trips.
