Very optimistic, considering their past efforts :P

However I still don't understand why Queen has never followed the example of The Who or Pearl Jam and come up with a bunch of official bootlegs that cover all gigs from several tours. For The Who and Pearl jam it worked perfectly, the official bootlegs by these band sold by the millions. The interest among a lot of Queen fans would even be greater I suppose.

I don't wish that but it's the way it's gonna be.

Brian and Roger both didn't like that album as they were the two members who spoke unfavourably of the album at the time. At the end of the day they approve what gets released or doesn't get released.

Well they will probably release something from 1979 but it won't involve any of the song versions on Live Killers.

Boring? Have you ever seen the setlist for the final show of the tour? Here it is anyway: We Will Rock You (fast), Let Me Entertain You, Somebody To Love, Fat Bottomed Girls, Death On Two Legs, Killer Queen, Bicycle Race, I'm In Love With My Car, Get Down Make Love, You're My Best Friend, Now I'm Here, Don't Stop Me Now, Mustapha (intro), If You Can't Beat Them, Spread Your Wings, Dreamers Ball, Love Of My Life, '39, It's Late, Brighton Rock, Keep Yourself Alive, Bohemian Rhapsody, Tie Your Mother Down, Sheer Heart Attack, Big Spender, Jailhouse Rock, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, God Save The Queen The show was 150 minutes long or two hours and a thirty minutes!

Memorabiia to include: 1 - A lock of reproduction green hair as sported by Roger at Saarbrucken. 2 - John's leather tie. 3 - Reproduction 1,0000 Swiss Franc note as used to snort cocaine by the band and it's entourage. 4 - A Sixpence. 5 - Torn white t-shirt as worn by Freddie in the CLTCL video - fact checking meany that QPL were unable to recognise that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Live Killers tour. Creased and folded tour posters and concert tickets reproduced from copies of the originals.

Saarbrucken wasn't recorded for the live album - it was after the album was released. Myself, I'd be thrilled if discs 3 and 4 of the box set were the uncut last night in Paris. But knowing QPL it'd likely be a compilation of the three nights, and that's fine by me too. They played well in Paris, and Mercury was in pretty good voice.

Ale Solan wrote: The video part of the boxset I'm quite sure it will a compilation from several dates. Not just Paris.

Apparently there are two or three complete nights in Tokyo in the vault.

I believe that the American tour was called Jazz while the European and Japanese tour was Live Killers.

That's just how we refer to it now. But at the time the title didn't exist, so it was just the Jazz tour. I suppose we can defer to the tour programmes, but in North America (at least) the majority of concert goers referred to tours by which album a band had just put out.

Toozeup wrote: I doubt we'll see Live Killers reissued, the mix is completely underwhelming and the band hate it. More Likely we'll get live in Paris and a DVD of the footage. It'll be called Live Killers in Paris as a nod to the original release or something like that. Toyko 79 exists in full with multiple camera footage but Freddie's voice was in terrible shape so I doubt we'll see that released. Hammy 79 maybe if they've found the multi-tracks?
