Recorded at the 'Life Must Go On' concert in Freedom Square, Kharkov, Ukraine, on 12 September 2008.



This DVD was released in three different packages, namely a single DVD, a DVD and double CD set, and a tin box which includes a T-Shirt and the DVD/2CD set. The CD is almost identical to the DVD, with tracks 1-14 on disc 1 and tracks 15-28 on disc 2. The only differences are that for a few songs, the track/chapter points are in slightly different places, which is mainly to accommodate introductory dialogue.

The CD content was also available to download, with 'Radio Ga Ga' (originally performed before 'Bohemian Rhapsody') added to the iTunes download, and 'A Kind Of Magic' (originally performed before 'Seagull') added to the Amazon download. The remaining track, 'Wishing Well', which was performed before 'Shooting Star', appears to be unreleased.

The menus all feature an animation of fireworks, with firework sound effects and audience noise, and allow you to play the entire concert, select a song, change audio setup, or change subtitle setup. The audio is available as stereo or 5.1 surround sound, which has the music and vocals more prominent through the front speakers than the rear, but there do not seem to be any other changes. The subtitles are available in English, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' features footage of Freddie from 'Queen Rock Montreal'. Although some of the footage is the same, here it concentrates exclusively on Freddie, so shots of the audience, Brian and Roger are not present.

An hour long edited version was shown in 2009 on the Sky Arts 1 satellite channel, which lost unknown tracks. The entire concert was later streamed on Youtube on 19 March 2022, to raise funds for the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Oooh, ahh-haa

Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

(The show must go on) the show must go on, wow
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on, alright

Whatever happens now, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning now (I'm learning, I'm learning, I'm learning), I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning, turning) round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

(The show must go on) the show must go on, huh
(The show must go on) the show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
We can fly my friends

(The show must go on) the show must go on
(The show must go on) the show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

Have mercy baby, yeah, yeah

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show

You don't hear the bell but you answer the call
Comes to you as to us all, hey
We're just waiting for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous
Your truth it's all the same (oh no, oh no)
Lock your door but rain is falling
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your struggle's all in vain

For he who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just want to scream it louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Oh, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall

Fall now to fall

Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all

Nobody knows where you're from

Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come

Now you fly through the sky
Never asking why
And you fly all around
'Til somebody shoots you down

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows, ha, where you're from

Now you fly, through the sky
Never asking why
And I see your destiny is forever
To fly free
Free
Fly away today
You fly away tomorrow
Seagull, go on and fly
And you leave me to my sorrow
Go on and fly away
Fly away
Go on and fly, woh

Brian: OK, we have everything we need then, and we can sing if we want. A little space song.

In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
So many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
So many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you, yeah
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead - God bless all of you

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With your hand on my grease gun
It's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my car)
String back gloves in my automolove

The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all

The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what's left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you

Say it's not true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away

Say it's not true
Say it for real
Can't be happening to you
Can't be happening to me

It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve

With the wonders of science
All the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford

Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime

Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Could be happening to you
It could be happening to me

Lyrics:
Brian: Ladies and gentlemen, we've been doing a selection of Queen songs, we'd now like to offer you a little bit of the history of our wonderful frontman Mr Paul Rodgers, er, who has an amazing catalogue of songs from Free and Bad Company, we'd like to play a few of them now. Ladies and gentlemen, the songs of Mr Paul Rodgers.

Well, Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song
'Love me do' I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, everything's all right
Don't you know

Well, Johnny told his mama, "hey, mama, I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "don't cry, mama, smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
All the world will love you just as long, long as you are

Well, Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, "hey, I made the big time at last"

Don't you know

A bottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Let it shine
Don't you know that you are a shooting star

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Yeah just one more time now
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Shining on
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, long as you are
A shooting star

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all


I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very, very frightening me
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, figaro - magnifico-o-o-o-oh
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go
Never, never, never, never, never (never let you go)
Never let me go-o-o-o-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me


So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oooh, baby, just can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Audience: Nothing really matters to me (Paul: ha ha)
Nothing really matters to me
Freddie/Audience: Anyway the wind blows
