A comment from Brian May of Queen :
"It's amazing. There is a very memorable moment ... which I think displays Cliff's true superior class as an entertainer .... I won't spoil the surprise [it was during Let There Be Love] for those who were not there that night, but Cliff made a small mistake, and the way he handled it was masterly. It would have been easy to just cut out the part where this happened for the commercial release, but I (and also his director, I think) got very excited about it, and privately urged Cliff to leave the mistake in .... (easy for us to say...) Well, showing the great class and courage of the man, Cliff personally saw to it that the whole sequence is in there on the DVD as it happened on the night. It's awesome. Awesome, because a lesser performer would have got all uptight about this kind of occurrence. Like us at Sheffield earlier this year, Cliff filmed only ONE NIGHT of the tour .... so the risks are great ... and you have to be brave. Imagine suddenly realizing you have gone wrong in something that you know backwards and get right every night, on the one night when it is being captured for posterity ... .... what goes through your head? Annoyance, probably, enough to lose your cool. Not Cliff. You have to see it. The audience goes nuts of course .... Great band he has too ..."
