Chris Hillman Tribute Concerts, The - Coal Porters (The)

half a tribute concert

Advantages: will bring back lots of memories, its probably the only time you will see these clebs all together
Disadvantages: the first half is missing!!

For those of you who remember when freddie died and watched this memorial on t.v. you may be a little disappointed. The original concert was in two halves, the first half was various groups (including metallica, def leopard and extreme) doing a short set each in honor of Freddie Mercury and in support of the charity. The second half was some members of various bands taking their turns to perform queens greatest hits alongside the remaining members of Queen. Well this dvd is only the second half of this concert. All in all it's great veiwing and i challenge anyone who liked Queen's music not to end up humming or even singing along, the perfomances (put together in quite a short space of time) are good (mostly), and its a unique experience to see some of the most unlikely pairings the music world has seen. However I still can't help ...

Review of Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (10th Anniversary Edition) (DVD)

A fitting tribute to a great singer

Advantages: A great tribute. Stellar line-up. Benefits a worthy cause.
Disadvantages: Some of the fashons are now very dated!

These two DVDs comprise a tribute to Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after succumbing to AIDS. All the artists involved gave their time for free - and those included reads like a Who's Who of British rock music, in addition to artists from overseas such as Metallica and Liza Minelli. There is an array of "extras" on the 2 DVDs, including rehearsal footage for each act (press enter when you see the "i" box at the corner of your screen), a documentary on the great Freddie Mercury and press photos from the event itself. ---Why should I bother listening to something that is over 10 years old?---- Because Queen were a seminal rock group; because buying the video will help AIDS charities fight the disease; because it is a moving and uplifting event; because the atmosphere is captured brilliantly in the film; because it contains ...

Review of Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (10th Anniversary Edition) (DVD)

Fullers London Porter

Advantages: Nice complex, roasty taste. Not too expensive.
Disadvantages: A bit heavy sometimes. Not as refreshing as a lager for example.

Fullers London Porter. 5.4% ABV Usually £1.89 for a single bottle. But on the current 4 for 3 deal at Sainsbury's it comes to £1.42 per bottle. London Porter is brewed by Fuller, Smith & Turner Plc at their Griffin Brewery in Chiswick London. Next to the river Thames in their 350 year old brewery which is the oldest in London. It is easilly available from Sainsbury's and probably also from the other main supermarkets. The porter has a smooth, roasty and complex taste. It's quite rich so is more one for a quiet night in than if you want a few more beers. It's colour is very dark, almost black. There is a slight tint of ruby if held up to the light. It holds a thick, tan coloured head which clings to the sides of the glass. This is similar to a stout, only with a sweeter malty flavour and less bitter than ...
