I'm trying to find a copy of the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute concert that
was held at Wembley stadium in London. CD, video, audio, whatever. Thus
far, have only found a few snippets. Would like to own the whole bit.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

I don't know if there's a "whole" concert available in any format. As
far as video is concerned, what I taped off MTV the night of the concert
is a little different than what they (MTV) showed a couple days later,
which is different than the official concert video. (For example, I have
'39 on one tape but not the other two, I think.)
I've got an hour-long CD that I bought at my local Tower records, of all
places. It's a German import; I think the label is "One World Records."
You may be able to find it -- and the official video -- with a little
surfing; a good place to start is http://www.cdeurope.com , which is a
site that specializes in imports.
The CD's playlist is:
*More Than Words (Extreme)
*Now I'm Here (Def Leppard with Brian May)
*Paradise City (GnR)
*Pinball Wizard (Roger Daltrey w/Queen)
*I Want It All (Roger Daltrey w/Queen)
*Innuendo (Robert Plant w/Queen)
*'39 (George Michael w/Queen; the song is listed on the CD as "Year of
39"!)
*I Want to Break Free (Lisa Stansfield w/Queen)
*Under Pressure (Annie Lennox, David Bowie w/Queen)
*All the Young Dudes (Ian Hunter, David Bowie, Mick Rowson, All-Star
Chorus, w/Queen)
*Bohemian Rhapsody (Elton John, A_l Rose w/Queen)
*Too Much Love (Brian May)
*Radio Ga Ga (Paul Young w/Queen)
*We Are the Champion (Liza Minelli, All-Star Chorus, w/Queen; the song
is listed on the CD as "We're the Champions"!)
*The Lord's Prayer (David Bowie)
Oddly enough, the drummer on the CD is listed as "Robert" Taylor!!! Hope
this helps. patt.

You can officially buy it on video in any good record shop. The cd of the
concert can be found oon bootleg but is of not so gogod qualit. Easiest
to dub down of video or original radio broadcast version. However cd
quality can be ascertained if you have a laser disc machine which is a
large disc whihc ocntains bothe the pictures and music at cd quaity. You
can still get it oin London and other big aplces, and also Queen in
Budapest in this format too which includes the version of Lov eof my LIfe
whihc they usually ommit on tele and I think on the convetional video
release...

I have a bootleg of the enture concert, taped off of the German TV
broadcast...
The only thing missing is the U2 satelite portion..
Other than that, it's all there!
any offers? I'm charging $6 per copy...

Andrew, I'm surprised you didn't tape it off of MuchMusic when they
aired it. What's makes the MM broadcast interesting, IMO, is that Erica
Ehm (the interviewer/host at the event) made a complete ass of herself
interviewing everyone from Roger Daltrey to Def Leppard.
What really disgusted me about that broadcast is that when Erica Ehm
asked Cindy Crawford why she was there, all Cindy said was "I like
hanging out at these kinds of big events. They're fun." Gee, Cindy, I'm
glad you are so willing to honour us with your presence.
Patrick
Actually I did tape it off...the entire 6 hours...but the reproduction on
my shittty old VCR made a bad sounding tape...
I agree Erica did act like a little Ditz...gee...wonder why she's not
there anymore-eh? now she's hosting stupid granny shows on the Discovery
channel!
Cindy Crawford....well she was just acting...like a...well this is a g
rated newsgroup...so she's just an idiot!

Aha! So it appears that the following is on the UK video tape, but not the US one:
>Freddie video clips
>Freddie video clips
>Bob Geldof and the happy club - Too late god
>Zucchero - Las Palabras de amor
I think I can safely speak for most of us here in the US when I say,
"That sucks man! I feel cheated."
What are the Freddie clips?
