The concert will go live at 2pm Eastern time and will be live for 48 hours. During that time, "For every dollar donated during the stream, YouTube’s parent company Google will match with a $2 donation as part of its ongoing Google/YouTube UN Foundation fundraiser."

We watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody last week, Dave hadn't seen it. While they take some liberty with when things happen and with some other facts, it's still one hell of a movie if you're a fan. And the feature of how they make the Wembley performance - WOW.


EDIT - Concert starts Friday, May 15.

Thanks for the heads up! Friday, right?

I saw Queen live as a backup band to Mott the Hoople back in 1974. From what I can piece together it was a good time... ;o)

Heh.  Sort of a "If you remember the '60s, you weren't there"? Yeah, Friday/Saturday.  I'll update the post, my bad.
