I've been a huge Q fan for a long time, the live shows are not be believed.  

Somehow missed out on this video! I'm all over it now - thanks for the tip.  If it's from 1999, I assume it's Johnny on guitar.  I was always partial to Big Al, but I do like Johnny.

I had a bunch of Q TV appearances spread out on various videotapes and recently dubbed them them together onto a single tape and man did I have a blast re-watching them in action.  

Michael 
(whose first dance with his bride was to "I Love Her, She Loves Me" from the ...At Yankee Stadium album).
