I'll forgive the ad-libbed lyrics, because Jim Henson's crew did a great job on this one:

Saw it yesterday, and laughed my head off.  About the only thing I would have changed - the Animal segment went on too long (though it ended well).  Otherwise, it was great!

I figured the Animal drum segment went on as long as it did to usurp the "Just killed a man/pulled my trigger now he's dead" portion of the lyrics.

My thoughts exactly.  Even as long as it was, still hilarious.  :)

According to what I read, that was done deliberately to keep the video family- and child- friendly. I have been a big Muppet fan for decades.

PS: it was a sad day for me when Jim Henson died.  But apparently, Disney is giving Brian Henson a free hand.

I usually don't admit it, but I was there in San Diego also. I was stationed at North Island at the time. A lot of good concerts came through San Diego those 3 years (75-78).

Did you see Skynyrd when they came through?

Yep them were the days of $5 tickets from the recreation center or whatever it was. Can't remember but I saw a LOT of those shows myself. I was on WESPAC part of 77 though. Queen was a rockin' band till they went all gay on us. Not that there's anything wrong with that...  :lol:

This one isn't from ZZTop


Wow.  All I've ever heard is canned studio Queen.  Never seen a link from a live concert, or a video from one or anything.  The guy could definitely sing.

Didn't see Queen, but I did see Skynyrd in Santa Barbara circa '76 or '77...hmmmm...memory from that era kinda fuzzy for some reason...
