This was the very first Queen+ concert with the presence of Paul Rodgers, who will follow Brian May and Roger Taylor for their forthcoming Queen+ European Tour.

The entire Queen+ concert took about 75 minutes but only 4 songs (those in bold) have been available via the webcast services hosted by Tiscali.

I have recorded the 4 songs splitted in two mp3 files in low quality to respect the copyright. I think that many people would like to listen those songs since they are going to visit the forthcoming Queen+ tour dates.

Who wants, can download these songs by clicking here!

The show was broadcasted live only in South Africa from the TV-Network SABC2, and since there are no-plans to get a DVD release of this event it will be very hard to get a copy of the entire event. There was just a stupid thing SABC2 did: they switched to commercials just before Queen came on stage. When they went back again the music for the first song started. But from tere everything went well. The concert ended with Queen and the Africa Children's choir doing "We are the Champions".

The concert has been from 1:15 am to 2.30 am (South African time)

Anyway, I have had recorded the entire show by two different sources who live in South Africa and will receive it (hopefully) in a couple of days.
