Both discs feature a short edit of 'We Will Rock You' as the menu loads. The menus simply include audience noise.
All of the lyrics to the main concert are found on the original album page. This page only includes details of the DVD, and lyrics to the 'bonus' material, as found on the second DVD.
DVD One:
Audio available as
Stereo or 5.1 Surround Sound. For the
Surround Sound, the vocals are more prominent through the front
speakers than the rear, but there do not seem to be any other
changes.
The first DVD menu allows you to play the entire concert, select a song, use the Queen Jukebox (which allows you to select upto 5 tracks to play), or change audio. The concert itself is arranged into 25 chapters, these are:
The CD release is virtually identical to the DVD release. The only really noticeable differences are that Freddie's dialogue before 'Staying Power' (included at the end of Play The Game) is edited on the CD release, and during Brian's Guitar Solo, the DVD includes a longer delay when Brian has a problem with his guitar.
Whilst the 'Flash' backing tape is played, the video features footage of the audience, footage of the crew setting up the stage, and backstage footage of the band. During the operatic section of 'Bohemian Rhapsody', there is footage of the original promo video as well as the lighting show. Whilst video footage of 'Staying Power' appeared on the 2003 DVD 'Greatest Video Hits II', it was edited slightly differently and contained some different camera shots. 'We Will Rock You (Fast)' and 'Sheer Heart Attack' were later released as bonus video tracks on the Japanese 'Jewels II' CD.
DVD Two:
This contains the following titles:
The first three titles include subtitles in seven different languages. Of the Tokyo Tour Highlights (title 4), all were previously available on the 'Live In Japan' video, which was exclusively available in the Japanese market.

Lyrics:
Hey, come on
Ha
Steve walks wearily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you standing on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, sing it
Another one bites the dust
Sing it for me
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot up baby
How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the door way the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Come on, shoot up, shoot up, hey
Ah, take it
Bite the dust, yeah
Oh yeah
Bite the dust
Bite the dust
Bite the dust, baby
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah
There's plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shoot up
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Lyrics:
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
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
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it, I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
On, on, on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
Ooh, we are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
Ooh, we are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world

Save The Queen
