The times refer to the CD titles including announcements and applause. Before Love of My Life Brian May played a short section from the intro of The words of love (Otherwise, apart from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, it was never time on the program of a queen or solo concert).

The so-called DVD photo gallery is with a live version of Calling All Girls underlaid, which was also recorded on November 3, 1982.

“All the live favourites are here: ‘Love Of My Life’, equal parts graceful lullaby and football terrace chant, but as charming as ever; ‘Now I’m Here’, spliced cleverly with The Game’s ‘Dragon Attack’, and ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’, sounding fatter than ever. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Queen gig without a little of Freddie’s playful crowd mastery. […] The set finishes predictably but majestically, with Queen’s pomp-rock coup de grace: ‘We Will Rock You’, followed by ‘We Are The Champions’ and ‘God Save The Queen’. If you need a reminder of just how invincible Queen were in concert, look no further.”
