you guys were brilliant Stewart

[BlokeFromBattersea]

Bloody good version. I think it's probably better than Queen ever did it live. Guitarist in the middle has an excellent voice.

Cheers

This was live, unadulterated, exactly what it said on the tin!! No bollox just live music!

[billyconnearly]

The awesome (in the original meaning -not the US generalisation!!) vocals of Grant Haycock made the difference between Perfect Strangers and all the rest! Grant's voice was Number 1 in a class of 1!

[billyconnearly]

Me and Gerry used to talk into the small hours about Life, Love and the pursuit of Happiness he was a unique individual and he went his way and I mine but remained Brothers. He brought his ability to my band and enhanced everything we did!

hy ian all i can say is these two guyes wullie and gerry were great guitar'is ,but i feel boath had something missing in there live's

[iansarahmcneil]

Wullie & Gerry went to secondary school together so they've known each other since they were 12.

I never made it to the gig because I started a new job in London and I didn't have any holiday entitlement. I saw the video years ago, but it's nice that the whole world can see these now.
