"Bicycle" would have been a much better Queen choice. Still, one LN in a set ain't too shabby.

Actually, the theme song from the Barcelona Olympics that Freddie sang with Montserrat would have been a better choice.

Not many fat-bottomed girls in the Olympics. Well, maybe women's weighlifting.

Pretty damn heavy on the prog: ELO, Yes, ELP, Queen, and Peter Gabriel. (Which in no small part accounts for the length of the set.)

That said, I'd have bos'd the Yes track with a VHM for Gabriel, ELP and Simple Minds.

Yeah, that Giants set was dreadful. This one, not nearly as bad.

I didn't hear this set, but reviewing the list afterwards shows it was quite interesting. So kudos to AL.
