cmi wrote: Judging by the running time of the tracks, CD doesn't feature Bob Harris' intro but there's no any edits from start till the end. Even the encore-waiting breaks are not edited out. DVD is ok for me. It's a pity they didn't bother to provide additional video from Tokyo gig. It's also strange that only live footage is presented. No press-conference and picnic footage so far. Anyway it was released on Japanese 'Days Of Our Lives' 2DVD set in 2011.

Which full well applies to their practice of creating new fictional tracks out of complete idependent songs just to make a tracklist look bigger.

CD2 is not audio CD. It's a DVD or Blu-Ray. So, there is no rehearsal or soundcheck on audio CD. I like the DVD menu...

Val Lurex wrote: I don't understand those of you asking to include the 1979 show as part of the bonus material. The 1979 Hammersmith show is an independent concert from a different era which doesn't belong to this release, except for the fact that both events took place in the same venue and on/around Christmas Day. It should be released separately as a standalone release, even if its sound quality is downright poor. And anyone who thinks it's not going to be released, because of lack of titles and because a title which could have been used for the 1979 show has already been used for this upcoming release, is not of this world.

================================== I'm I missing something? - Looking Back At The Odeon: 1. Lead-Up To The Concert 06:27 2. Soundcheck & Show 13:21 3. Following The Concert 02:57 this is still the same as the 21 minutes of the Bob Harris interview or?

So, what you're saying is: "buy this one because the next one might be good". That sounds a little twisted... I'm disappointed. Adding the soundcheck does not turn a dull concert into a sparkling release for me.

Disagree. Sun City was a better gig than Hammersmith '75 by a long run. So was Milton Keynes and a number of others. ON AVERAGE, the '70s concerts were (much) better than the '80s concerts. But that does not mean EVERY '70s concert was better than EVERY '80s concert. Hammersmith '75 is just awful in comparison to other Queen concerts. Despite the fact that it is the best audio/video quality bootleg dvd I have, it's also the one I watch least.

I'll respectfully disagree with this. Now what I find really boring is the Tokyo 85 gig we have on video. I haven't even watched it in full I think.

I think that's a very optimistic view to take. If I look at the details known so far, it looks to me like this release is breaking with the Rainbow-approach: this looks to be a bare-bones release with very little supplementary material. I'm starting to fear that the beautiful Rainbow '74 box is going to be a one-off, and any further releases might be more like Hammy '75...

Hammersmith plus bonus tracks from Japan. Hammersmith is 70 mins long, it cannot fit in a single vinyl so second part should be in the second LP, with time left for the three tracks from Budokan, simple maths.

Stop writing supposed setlists, and wait until the press release. I want to get my press release. I want to have it now. I want to get my press release. I want to have it where I like. (?)

====================================== You'll never know with QP... Always a suprise.... When I first saw Montreal, I thought the cover was the decision of the distributer/ company (Eagle Vision). Later on I discovered it was not the case. Shame...

Of course it's a lot easier to find a good picture with one or two of the members in it, than a good close up picture with the whole band in it. I mean just the size of the stage makes it difficult for all of them to be in a close up shot. Unless they use a picture taken at the end of the show when they're all together at the front of the stage. I always really liked Live Killers cover even though they're hidden in the shadows.

and... that image from the band on Live KIllers had to be modified (Brian) because his position on the picture wasn't the best  as you said, is not always posible to put a 4 members picture on a Queen release unless you create a collage with separate pictures...

Now that you mentioned it, it clearly is a cut/paste job when I looked at it closely. Brian just doesn't quite fit in and his silhouette looks dodgy compared to the background.

decades of graphic design says that the artwork of a CD or DVD or book it's almost as important as the content otherwise, all the artwork in every release would be plain white and black fonts ;)

bootLuca wrote: something strange happened with the "reply with quote" option, I'm sure I wrote it! ;) Anyway, IMHO the cover is not the most important thing, I will buy Queen at the Odeon with any cover The White Album of the Beatles or the official bootlegs released by Pearl Jam are good example of discs that selling well but that don't have a great cover. If Queen release a series of official bootlegs for every tour they did, I bet we would buy it with closed eyes.

Apart from the legality of this 'suggestion', if they don't sell enough of this title then we may never get any future titles...

^ this. Worry not, people. It's early Queen - it'll sell. People on internet forums often live in bubbles. Nothing written here is going to stop someone from buying a DVD they want to buy.

Yep, that's how virtually every bootleg of the show ended up. All the Christmas references were edited out at some point, and it spread like wildfire. It wasn't until the 2000s that the unedited speeches began to appear. The official release is the only complete version of the show. Gripe about autotune and fixes aside - it is complete.

I know that I am nit-picking but the words "Merry Christmas" have been removed from Freddie's speech after the Jailhouse Rock Medley on the 2015 official release for some unknown reason? The speech is available uncut and in stereo to edit in from the 2009 BBC2 TV broadcast should anyone wish to do so!

It's silly that they cut this for the official release, and they even cut the audience reaction by about 5 seconds before Brian starts playing - but again, these are the same people that arbitrarily cut Mercury's speech before Staying Power on Live At The Bowl. So yeah, it's not quite as complete as I thought it was.

The Bob Harris speech is in stereo on the Blu-ray, I will be happy to post it if you want? Goodness knows why the documentary is in mono on the DVD but this is QPL we are talking about!

My rip of the documentary has mono sound, but I'm not sure if the original is mono. So if you could post a WAV file of that little bit, that'd be fab.

4 Yes - thank you ! Here's my revised version: link No cross-fade necessary this time - just a clean cut and paste now. Indeed, the decision making processes at QPL remain baffling, to say the least.
