For me it would be: 1. Hammersmith 1979 - Great setlist, great performance, and as we now know, they have the whole concert and it's capable of being in great quality. Also it contains a lot of hits plus some non-heard album tracks so it would be perfect for both sets of fans. They can release it with bonus features with more Crazy Tour footage and some Live Killers stuff. 2. Earls Court '77 - This has potential to make an excellent release. They can do a combo of both nights like they did with Montreal and take the better performances of songs from each night. And there can be bonus material from more concert material from that era and maybe some of the Bob Harris documentary. Nonetheless, great setlist as well and you gotta love Freddie's outfit! 3. Rainbow ' 74 - That would great if they can do a combo of both nights with this one as well and the COMPLETE show with none of those stupid random cuts. The band were truly on fire during this show and Freddie sang very well live then as it was before he got vocal nodules. This is some nice early material that the hard-core fans (like me) who like the early unknown album tracks would like. 4. Hyde Park '76 - If they could fix Freddie's pitch this would make an excellent release due to the whole atmosphere and mainly because Queen played to so many people. However, if they just improved the quality without slightly touching upon Freddie's vocal I wouldn't wanna see that get out there as I feel it would be an embarrassment to Freddie as his monitors probably weren't working and he could barely hear himself...not to mention the fact that they were playing to 130,000 people! 5. Rock In Rio '85 (First Night) - Great show!!! Really underrated and probably they're best 80's show (not counting Live Aid). Really great vocal performances throughout, and despite some small mistakes due to nervousness, the band were pretty much on fire that night too. The atmosphere was probably the best part because Queen played to over 250,000 that night and there were several points in the show where the audience sang along to the songs. The only reason why this is number 5 on my list is because we already have 3 80's official releases but if you had to choose another 80's one, this would be it. Queen Productions: PLEASE don't just release Hammersmith 1975 and than forget about these other concerts. Yes I know most of the work is done on that gig but these are all SO MUCH BETTER concerts and would make much better official releases. The Hammy show was hardly even an hour long! Please don't waste it for the official release! |

I believe we need Hammersmith 1979 as it captures Freddie and Queen at one of their finest points with him hitting all those notes so well! :D Also Hyde Park after seeing the You Take My Breath Away in that quality! |
| GinjaNinja 24.04.2011 03:31 |
For me it'd be the March Rainbow show hands down. There's something magic about it. |
| A Word In Your Ear 24.04.2011 04:35 |
It would be Knebworth '86. I know they say they don't have the footage + we already have Wembley from the same tour, But Knebworth for me. for obvious reasons. |

There is literally no excuse for there not being a Queen DVD of live 70's stuff, similar to the one that Zeppelin put out a few years ago, (the one with the desert on the cover). They seem content to sell increasingly banal compilations and remasters, oftentimes with piecemeal glimpses at some of the live stuff they're hanging onto. It's a bit annoying. It's not the end of the world - but I would like to buy some of this stuff as opposed to having to constantly poke around on Youtube or bittorrent for it. QPL don't seem to understand - I have money, and I'm willing to part with it. *shrug* |

I want Rainbow in the worst way .... I had not shared this with anyone here but recently, at home, I let it be known that if I had a time machine the very first place I would go is back to Rainbow 1974 for the concert ... others were taken a back by my statement and stated much loftier things like going back in time to see Christ. I did feel a bit of guilt in that. But I still want Rainbow. |
| ITSM 24.04.2011 09:34 |
Houston '77 or something else from the A Day at the Races tour. |
| Hangman_96 24.04.2011 10:01 |
At first I'd choose Rainbow to be released, then Hammy '79. Though things don't look too promising. |
| dougie 24.04.2011 18:28 |
Rainbow. |
| Gregsynth 24.04.2011 21:08 |
I would chose 4/25/1979. The way Freddie manages to hit those incredible notes is unbelievable! |
| jpf 25.04.2011 01:48 |
Queen needs to release dvd sets like the "KISSology" series. I personally want dvds of the '70s concerts, particularly SHA, ANATO, ADATR, NOTW, and Jazz. |

Led Zeppelin DVD is excellent release for public, but for fans it's pretty pointless. No one needs 4-5 tracks from major concerts in one compilation, when each concert can be released separately in full its glory. Thank God we have complete footage of two Earls Court '75 shows and two Knebworth '79 shows on bootleg market now. I don't think anybody else here wants to see an official compilation DVD of Queen in '70 to be released with 3-5 tracks from Rainbow'74, Hammersmith '75, Hyde Park '76, Earls Court '76, Houston '77, Paris '79, Hammersmith '79. I think everyone needs complete sets from each tour. |

Hammersmith '79, no contest. |
| Rick 25.04.2011 15:08 |
Hyde Park 1976 Historical concert. Great atmosphere. Great camera angles. Interesting setlist. The band, I'm sure, were playing great. Don't be fooled by the absymal bootleg video. |
| The Real Wizard 25.04.2011 16:24 |
My vote goes for Hyde Park as well, although I'd be equally happy with a more complete Rainbow 74. But realistically, I foresee a Hammersmith 75 DVD release with a few songs from Hyde Park as extras. |
| Isle0fRed 25.04.2011 18:39 |
I would ask for the Budepest 86 gig cause that is miles better than wembley, but then again many concerts are better than wembely. The Budepest gig would also have the glory of having Full HD like Monteral, hopefully with 7.1 DTS Master Audio. Of Course, I would prefer the full concert, but I wouldn't argue with a HD release of the LaserDisc/VHS release. Richard Fast Five was a big disapointment, Sucker Punch is the worst film of 2011 |
| marcenciels 25.04.2011 20:57 |
Zebonka12, I agree with you 100 %!!! I think i'm at 95% with you, from the day i joined Queenzone ;) I find it nice that they re-master, but...i Dont need nor want that! I am a long time fan and collector. My wish is to have all the live videos possible. |
| john bodega 26.04.2011 01:23 |
"I think everyone needs complete sets from each tour. " The reason this hasn't happened yet is that it's not as realistic as a compilation. I would like 4 or 5 complete 70's gigs myself, but I'm not sure that would sell as good. I'd love to be proven wrong - more than anything though, I would simply like good Queen product to be on the shelf again. 70's gigs, and GVH3 (I still want those Innuendo videos). |
| HamsterP 28.04.2011 01:07 |
My choice is "Hammersmith 1979". \m/ |

Trust Pittrek to be greedy and want more than one! ;-) If I could only pick one I'd like to see either Hammy 79, Rainbow 74 (complete) or one of the other complete 1979 concerts they have but won't admit to (complete Tokyo?)

I am one of the few lucky ones who have an official release of a concert they were actually at. For me, it's Queen Rock Montreal, I was there for the first night. I was totally happy when they finally did a proper mix and released it on BluRay. Bliss! The only other shows I saw were ADATR, Calgary Canada 16 March 1977 (this was the 3rd last show of the tour, and one of the few they played after cancelling several shows to deal with Freddie's throat), The Game (Vancouver, opening night of the North American tour) and the Hot Space tour in Montreal, which I believe was the opener for that North American tour. (The memory does funny things after 30 years!). I would love to have DVDs of all these tours, but I'd also love others as well. I think that if they bypassed widespread commercial release in favour of releasing them through the web site, they could appeal to the hard core fans and still keep it profitable. Quite a few other bands have done this, if not with DVDs then at the very least with CDs. Having seen them both at the beginning and at the tail end of tours, any shows would have to be from early in the tours, as Freddie's voice was in far superior condition. |

Ok, I try to form that if I had to choose what concert gets released..... I want to begin with Live at the Rainbow I'd like to that was complete concert footage not VHS cut. Also I'd like to see someday live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975 with footage Japan'75 If talk about concerts such as Hyde Park 1976, Live at Earl's Court 1977 and Houston 1977 without fail I'd like to see also as these concert is the one my favourite concerts |

i love the idea Jamster...in theory...but in reality, we ALL know that not many live albums/dvds are for real.... and ALL of the available 70s recordings would end up getting a "Visconti" Brian and Roger would re-record most of their parts - drums, guitar and vocals...and we'd end up with a "Live and Dangerous mk II".....so please, don't expect anything from that era to get released polished....cos we all know what "just cleaned up" means......just look at "live at the bowl" for that reason alone...i'd almost any ohter band over Queen for live stuff....so perhaps Rainbow is the best option...but not at the Rainbow......got the Rainbow Munich 77 dvd a few months ago....and it's untouched...and sounds great so perhaps Rainbow could release live at donington? |
