Not even close to the original IMO
It's a lot easier to sing karaoke than to sing opera

Too much american smaltz for my liking. Then the guitar solo didn't hit all the notes and his timing seemed off as well.

Gee you are a tough taskmaster. This was a live performance, with a guest drummer, in front of a star-studded audience.

Did you ever hear the their own version of Stairway on Live Aid?

It was good ...just not a wow for me

I'd take the Rodrigo y Gabriela acoustic version myself
