From Queen's website, where you can also find the track listing: https://www.queenonline.com/news/queen-paul-rodgers-live-in-ukraine-2008-youtube-special-raising-funds-for-ukraine-relief Editing because the link to Queen's website has been changed to this: https://www.queenonline.com/news/now-streaming-queen-paul-rodgers-live-in-ukraine-2008-youtube-special-raising-funds-for-ukraine-relief Queen + Paul Rodgers: Live In Ukraine 2008 YouTube Special - Raising funds for Ukraine Relief

3. Thanks!
I'd planned to go shopping later today, but finding out about this YouTube screening changed those plans.

5. You're welcome! I was really surprised when I heard about this today. It was
announced yesterday, and I sometimes check Paul Rodgers' Twitter account since he's one of my favorite singers, but I've been so busy checking Twitter for news on Ukraine that I hadn't looked at any of his posts for weeks.
I wish I'd known yesterday. Might've set an alarm to get up earlier and take care of that shopping before the concert airs on YouTube. Btw, the reviews I've seen of the concert DVD have been really good. |

7. The errands will wait (I try to avoid stores later in the day on Saturday; too busy). And
I will enjoy the concert. I'm glad I was watching ABC this morning at that moment (I channel surf a lot during morning news shows). Probably wouldn't have found out in time otherwise.

8. Glad you caught the info!
I've been wondering for a while now, wth happened to globally-focused music?
It's all "I-me-gimmie," from what I've heard of newer music. ![]() Maybe it's the market I'm in. Redneck hell. 😓 |

12. For some reason the video on my laptop is a few seconds behind the video on the TV.
So I'm relying on the TV.
Great start to the concert... |

16. I hope everyone who watched the concert enjoyed it. I have to admit I had tears in my eyes
at the end, looking at how happy the thousands of people -- 350,000 there for the concert -- were, and thinking of the hell they're going through right now.
They ended the concert with "We Are The Champions" -- and nothing could fit the people of Ukraine more. We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the world |
