What a coincidence: those are exactly the songs in which Paul went wrong... Another sign that he is out of the picture?? Not even available to come in and do some overdubs??

But I don't know what's the change QOL had to type over the UKRAINE cinema broadcast...and mistaken this one for the original programme. Damn what a shitty release.... I WON'T BUY THE CUTTED CINEMA DVD I HAVE IT IN PERFECT QUALITY AS QUEENZONE DOWNLOAD!!

No, those three songs where already left out of the theatre viewing, while they did overdub his mistakes during HTF and SINT. I guess they weren't fully satisfied with the renditions, which in case of Radio I can understand. Still a big disappointment, though.

The Singles Collection and now this new abobination ....

The performances were better, the audiences were FAR better (the audience in Kharkov didn't even sing the last line of Bo Rhap, prompting a laugh from Paul), and the setlist was more interesting. Why release Kharkov when you've got great material from those shows in South America that will now, presumably, gather dust in the archives forever?

Well, I'll have to admit during my bashing of QPR that almost half of the songs on the Cosmos Rocks are very good.

If they did what they did with Say It's Not True, wich I consider a true miracle, I can't believe they couldn't also save those songs !

Am I getting it right that you people actually accept this thing? "Saving" live albums by overdubbing and fixing live material later in the studio? You don't think that it's cheating, that it's dishonest and rewriting history on a par with Stalin airbrushing people out of photographs?

Mmm, not quite.  Similar ideology, but certainly not on the same scale.

Jjeroen wrote: Don't you WISH that Brian had overdubbed more vocals on the Brixton Academy release?

On a serious note: overdubbing stuff in the studio is STANDARD procedure in the music industrie. Official live albums without them are a rarity.

Well, if we are lucky, we will get a great compilation DVD of Paris/Hammersmith 1979! Great, isn't it? Oh yes, just imagine Dreamer's Ball segueing into Save Me. I love those fake Queen medleys :) They're so goddamn entertaining!

Nine Inch Nails!? Trent Reznor - now THAT's a guy that knows what is best for himself and what the fans REALY like!
