I see it differently. Music is for everyone. Everyone can pick what they personally like. Starting a discussion about who deserves more attention is silly. Queen has catapulted this concert into the history. Of course the other performances were damn good too. In fact, this one is my favorite. But this performance wouldn't have the attention that has today without the Queen performance either. Thank you Queen, thank you Ultravox.

Having seen Midge on a couple of his solo performances (just him, his guitar, and a very small venue, maybe 100 people) and he can still belt this out of the park, like he's performing in a stadium. Stunning.
