I still think there's going to be one.  Maybe that info is incomplete?

I would assume, minus production costs (DVD authoring, replication, distribution and all inbetween), the profits would most likely go towards the Freddie Mercury Phoenix Trust and/or the 46664 Foundation.

You would hope so.  What worries me is that I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere.

If he wanted to use English 100% properly, then yes he should have wrote that. However, the way he wrote it also works, but kinda comes off moreso as street talk than proper conversational taLk.

This was Queen Productions big chance to do something right for a change and they've completely blown it. Still, it's hardly a surprise: Queen and "quality" are increasingly parting ways.

Please correct 'should have wrote' , it should have been  'should have written' ;-)

I have to reluctantly agree with your comments - this was such a perfect opportunity to really produce something unique and we get a very run of the mill DVD.  I appreciate the size of this audience but beyond that what's new?  I'd have loved to have seen a fly on the wall documentary of what goes on behind a tour like this and I'm sure the band etc and the various venues they encountered could have made for some really exciting tv output but unfortunately this will never happen.  Really what would they have lost if they'd done something like this and released a number of full concerts at the same time from the tour.  They could have really set the bar for what others would have to live up to. Dont' get me wrong I really appreciate what Paul, Brian and Roger have done in recent years but with a little more thought they could have produced something really really special.   They've let the cameras in behind the scenes in the past - look at the Magic Years volume 1 or the NATO classic albums recording for the BBC - maybe they should title the live album that goes with the new DVD - 'Opportunities Lost' instead of 'The Cosmos Rocks' ? Even if they put together a compilation of the various press conferences on the DVD that we all witnessed from the Ukraine and the South American gigs this would be at least something but no all we ever get is vanilla. I'll still buy this but wish for something more comprehensive which will now never happen.

Never say never ;)  I'm sure something will get released, almost positive.  Just have to wait a bit longer for it......every.......single............time. :D

So you think Queen + PR will release another DVD or CD from this tour? I'd be willing to bet £20 to your or my favourite charity that you're wrong on that one. Meet me up a tree this time next year to see who's won ;)
