Never heard this and such a great video production by David Mallett as well. Looking him up, he was unbelievably everywhere making videos for everyone, including Queen. Thanks for sharing this bit of history I didn't know.

I had no guess for this one, Al, but in hindsight, it's pretty obvious. Great, great song. Are you gonna see a show on his farewell tour?

Sadly no. Neither Boston or NYC dates worked for me and good seats were just ridiculously priced. Saw them plenty back in the day. My favorite all time band.

Yeah, that's the real difficulty with live music today: it's too damn expensive. I never got to see them, alas and alack.

Sometimes they were great, sometimes not. Did not like the larger venue shows.

Love that you covered this. Their collaboration is fascinating. I have no love of opera so I can't fully appreciate it.
