If you did not get to see this live or on VH1 then you really ought to treat yourself to this DVD.A record of the biggest street party in history, with over 12000 inside the grounds of Buckingham Palace and countless thousands thronging the Mall in central London, this DVD is a prod testament to the people of Britain as well as being an historical document of some of the world's greatest popular musicians.The concert was one of a number of events arranged to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II - fifty years on the throne, one of the longest serving monarch's thoughout Britain's long history.All of the guests were selected at randomn from the British population and were provided with a free picnic lunch. They were also treated to a regal buffet menu of some of the best of (mostly) British popular musicians.There were some surprising omissions such as Sting who has achieved worldwide acclaim, yet Ricky Martin appeared, much to British indifference. Clearly the performers could not have included the veritable galaxy of British stars of the last fifty years, and there also must have been inevitable schedule conflicts.The event was a showcase for the stars, the monarchy and the whole British people. Also it is a testimony to the technicians and the BBC for a show of high quality sound and for a DVD which has managed to hit the shelves in only five weeks. It is sad to think of all the time it took to get the proceeds from the Concert for Bangla Desh to the people who needed the help at the time.To try to select the best moments from over three hours is difficult but mention must be made of the following. Lenny Henry and Dame Edna Everage managed to inject just the right level of humour into the proceedings. Annie Lenox, alas without Dave Stewart, provided a very strong, soulful rearrangement of Sisters (are doing it for themselves), Phil Collins who I saw long ago as a drummer with a receeding hairline and long hair who occasionally sang with Genesis, did a great job on You Can't Hurry Love.The younger generation of Brit-pop were not my cup of tea really but I am sure that they were appreciated by the younger members of the audience and I don't mean the young princes!For me the absolute highlights came with the veterans of the UK pop scene and Brian Wilson whose Beach Boys songs brought a lump to my throat having managed to see the band at Wembley Stadium in 1974. The surprising choice of Steve Winwood, surprising because he has been out of the public eye for some years, was a joy to listen to. What a voice! Both he and Joe Cocker are such distinctive vocalists with so much soul. Seeing Ray Davies again after almost thirty years but this time without the Kinks was very heartening, such a nice jacket too. Ultimately the night belonged to the Beatles and particularly in the wonderful treatment of While My Guitar Gently Weeps given by Eric Clapton and Sir Paul McCartney. Was it just me or did Eric play so soulfully in memory of a dear friend and musician.The Royal family interlude was both moving and funny with Prince Charles displaying a much hidden sense of humour. It was nice to see the young princes being very friendly with the female component of the show but not so nice to see the younger of the two not applauding the tribute to his grandmother.This is an excellent DVD, the proceeds of which will go to charity. It makes me proud of my English heritage, and proud of the Great British Pop Music Inductry.A final memorable moment - all of the performers together, ostensibly to sing the National Anthem - coming together to sing All You Need Is Love. John Lennon would be both mystified and proud to have seen that and I am glad that Yoko was in the Royal Box to share those minutes.
