Criticism in the media
"All the live favorites are here: 'Love Of My Life ', equal parts graceful lullaby and football terrace chant, but as charming as ever; ' Now I'm Here ', cleverly spliced with The Game 's 'Dragon Attack', and ' Fat Bottomed Girls', sounding fatter than ever. And of course, it would not be a Queen gig without a little of Freddie's playful mastery crowd. [ ... ] The set finishes predictably but majestically, with Queen's pomp -rock coup de grace: ' We Will Rock You', Followed by ' We Are The Champions ' and ' God Save The Queen'. If you need a reminder of just how invincible Queen were in concert, look no further. "
