8/10
Good, but not quite the best
26 February 2002
The best: George Michael as the lead singer for Queen. Superb. Brian May playing with Def Leppard. David Bowie with Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson singing "All the young dudes".

The worst: Guns'n Roses, Liza Minelli, Annie Lenox, the whole sentimentalism thing.

Absolute worst: Elton John, looking baffled and confused, singing Bohemian Rhapsody off key.

Weird: The lightning system. It was lacking.

Conclusion: A good concert, a good cause, marred by small details, bad singing and too much commercialism. Still, the good points overshadow the bad ones. The climax of the concert, at least for me, is David Bowie singing "Heroes" and ending it with a prayer.
