Reception

For both critics as well as fans, the collaboration between Queen and Paul Rodgers was always an ambiguous matter. So the DVD for most is a difficult meeting.

" The 350,000 in attendance is the damn celebrating from the night Queen, one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, which, alas, can no longer occur with their original front man, but instead just a few of their immortal classic with a not really bad singer brings to the stage. Although the man is missing again and again the real juice to bring the songs authentic ( ... ), but there are also quite good moments on the DVD. "
