The gig, which took place at London's Hyde Park last Friday, closed with Queen and vocalist Paul Rodgers performing a set of their hits.
However, broadcaster ITV decided to cut most of the band's performance out, something that angered Queen guitarist May.
On a posting on his official website, he wrote: "It baffles me how, given the privilege of televising an internationally significant event, a TV company can miss the point so badly.
"All [they] had to do was televise the whole event, with no insertions from them. Well, it seems they largely failed. I wonder who's responsible for these bad decisions?"
