George Jones - Concert Tribute (DVD)

Advantages: A great tribute. Stellar line-up. Benefits a worthy cause.
Disadvantages: Some of the fashons are now very dated!

...deliver heartfelt and sincere performances from all concerned; because it represents some of the higlights of Queen's music, involving artists spanning a whole generation. --Are there any drawbacks?-- Well, the footage was originally on ordinary television (4:3) format, but has been squeezed into a widescreen format for the DVD - resulting in a loss of some areas of the picture.
