Hi, after reading May issue of the excellent Italian magazine Rock Hard I stumbled upon an article about Queen and their fortieth anniversary with a beautiful, intimate and in-depth interview of Bri & Rog that traces their career with many memories and anecdotes. At one point the interviewer asks Brian "... is there any possibility to publish some unreleased early seventies live material from which there is no official documentation?". Brian answered the question this way: "...I can definitely say that we will publish in its entirety the Rainbow Theater concert of the '74 and I personally would like also to see the Budapest concert restored. For this particular concert we are also thinking of making a 3D version. Currently we are just doing some tests to see how it could be ... intrigues me very much to publish something in this format." The little extract of the article (Italian language) can be viewed here: |

Wow. Interesting. Rainbow 1974 complete would be a dream come true! |
| thomasquinn 32989 09.06.2011 06:16 |
"For this particular concert we are also thinking of making a 3D version." So they are complete fucking morons after all. Anyone who's seen a 2d digital film re-vamped into 3d knows the result is pathetic. How much more so if the source is a film reel or a video recording... |

Budapest and Rainbow gigs in HD on Blu Ray with fully remixed (NOT downmixed from original stereo tapes) audio is good with me. Budpaest at the correct speed will be lovely! |

They can ditch the gimmicky 3D though! As long as they remember that the years are ticking on and 'time waits for nobody' So anytime before I'm 100 would be nice! |
| Raffy 09.06.2011 07:33 |
For the Rainbow release i hope for a 2 dvd set. 1st Disc: 19.11.1974 London, UK 2nd Disc: 20.11.1974 London, UK (VHS version) Bonus section: all the songs omitted on the VHS and the ones cutted presented in full version plus 31.03.1974 London, UK and backstage footage from the 2 nights of November. Also for Budapest it would be great a 2 dvd set: 1st Disc: The concert film 2nd Disc: all the songs omitted on the VHS and the ones cutted presented in full version plus an extensive documentary about Magic Tour (with footage from soundchecks, Paris, Mannheim, Budapest, Knebworth, Spain). Maybe I'm a dreamer... but I'm not the only one ;) |

| Matheusms 09.06.2011 08:50 |
They will release Budapest in stereo pictures with the soundtrack extracted from Live Magic. Well, Rainbow is great, probably they'll release something more than what we had on Box of Tricks and, of course, we all expect it on Blu-ray. |
| Rick 09.06.2011 09:07 |
Rainbow is a fine choice btw. One of the early concerts that captures John in a very good mood. Has anyone ever noticed that? At other concerts he seemed more...I don't know...like he didn't enjoy it that much. |
| Doga 09.06.2011 09:26 |
Of course they want to release the only three gigs filmed in proper film. Is a great notice after all, Montreal is fantastic, a memento of the Raw power of Queen. Rainbow is a dream for every fan, and Budapest is simply, one of their best gig ever, and the better production in Queen history, maybe my favourite too, much better than Wembley. With this three gigs released in HD i will be happy. They only question is: Why they didn't film more gigs? (I know, that was a different era, but...) My congratulations to Queen Productions!!!! |
| Matheusms 09.06.2011 10:13 |
I think that there's a reasonable explanation for this lack of proper video recordings, actually the only way you could release the concerts on those days is as a movie to the teathers rather than today, that you can release it on dvd or in the eighties, when VHS was around. I don't know much about this but probably it was very expensive to record a gig (and they used to record more than one night) in 35 mm at the time and spent a lot of money to record something that will not be released at all wasn't interesting to the band at that point. At least, they recorded other concerts in standard quality, bands like Pink Floyd didn't even have SD concerts recorded from their classic line-up. |
| the dude 1366 09.06.2011 10:16 |
Budapest which would look amazing on blu ray. It really is one of their best. 3D is just trendy and might be laughable in the near future. A cleaned up picture directly from film, while making sure the HD sound has both good stereo and surround mixes is best. I know Brian likes to make sure there is both audio formats. Montreal looks and sounds amazing and so would Budapest. Judging by the sped up sound of the Budapest to fit it into the 90 minute max VHS format will be redone. I know the speed up drives lots of us crazy. |
| dysan 09.06.2011 10:19 |
I haven't watched Budapest for YEARS. I might have a look tonight. I love love love the candid stuff around the city. A great, friendly concert film. |
| Tommilaiho 09.06.2011 11:37 |

flu wrote: "Why they didn't film more gigs? (I know, that was a different era, but...)" It's only in hindsight that we can wish. Back then most people just didn't see the value in filming things for posterity. Things were usually filmed for promotional purposes or broadcast. The fact that things like Rainbow and Hyde Park exist is pretty incredible. Only in the last 20 years have people realized how fortunate the world was to have things like The Beatles, The Who, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen. And they all wish more shows were filmed. 3D or not, this is fantastic news. Thank you QP and Universal Records ! This simple change in bureaucracy has made 2011 an incredible year for Queen fans. |

So they're gonna piss about with 3D, but they won't release anything on Bluray because they don't think the format will take off? Is Brian a bit of a dick or what???? As for the rainbow concert, apparantly it was shot on PAL 2" video tape, so I hope they leave it alone at that. Bloody hate filmised concerts - they look crap. Be aware everyone, that it will undoubtedly STILL be an edit of the two nights, though I'm happy to be proved wrong... Finally. Where's the Hammy 75 DVD that was promised two years ago? |

If they could release these shows (mainly the complete rainbow 1974) it will to be the best live release in Years! |

Turning an analog 2d recording into a digital 3d film gives a result comparable to a black-and-white film that's tinted (colored in) later on. It reduces visual quality instead of enhancing it. What would be far preferable is a frame-by-frame restoration of Rainbow, similar to the process used on Birth of a Nation, where damage to individual frames is restored by using directly adjecent frames. This would apply, to a lesser degree, to Budapest. A 3d release would just be a waste of money. |
| Soundfreak 10.06.2011 05:36 |
Goodness....is this "ComplainZone" or what? You will get Budapest in 2 D - so why all the negativity about them trying to make it 3D as an extra??? Budapest was filmed with so many cameras and many of them were constantly moving, which makes it easier to create good 3D effects. So why put it down before you even saw a result? No one has to go and watch it in cinema.... |
| dysan 10.06.2011 05:49 |
I hope they stick in more shots of the audience in the Rainbow film - It looks too much like a soundcheck to me. |

Did anybody else follow the link? They talk about a concert for an audience of two thousand people for television purposes and they mention Pink and Tom Chaplin, if I recall well, as possible singers. But what I was delighted about was to read about studio work on a "rediscovered" track, altough they might refer to Michael Jackson tracks, which would be old news by now. See what google translator did of second paragraph of page 4: "And when it comes to album releases is impossible not to think of the infamous unreleased, so desired by fans. Brian confirms that there are, although not many. Moreover, he argues, if so many things have been discarded there must be a reason. In any case, just in recent months he and Roger have been working on a new song, the two only recently rediscovered. He does not specify when it is published, or in what context, but we hope that this happens very soon." Cheers, Ogre- |

I'm pretty sure i've seen clips of Rainbow on film (?). Anything shot on SD video tape (broadcast or domestic) would NOT benefit from a high def conversion (especially 2" video from the early 70s!). Even when it comes to film, it would have to be AT LEAST shot on super16mm, again anything less and you would see no difference. The BBC did serveral concept tests in the early days of HDTV. 'You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!' Also, how about some of the promos that were originally shot on film? If the original negatives or film reels still exists, then maybe these could benefit from a HD overahul? Probably unlikely as they would have been converted to video for editing and final output WATC (although looks like 8mm to me!) I Want It All Don't Stop Me Now Bicycle Race AOBTD (again looks v low res 8mm, poss even video) Any more? There wasn't many as production costs in film are much higher than video tape. |

Standard definition analogue is still higher definition than standard digital - which is what most DVDs offer (and sometimes less than standard) due to the amount of data people try and cram on to them. Almost all DVDs show signs of digital artifacts - which are obviously not present on analogue material. The current digital masters of most DVD releases are far higher quality that was is commerically released as the files are compressed to fit the format. I'd rather see the material in it's original transfer quality (albeit remastered, but not compressed and downscaled for a format which isn't big enough to accurately store visual and audio content in any quantity) with lossless audio, than an image littered with digital artifacts and mp3 quality audio. |

| Soundfreak 10.06.2011 09:07 |
All I'm saying is, if they do release Budapest again, the speed/pitch better be corrected. Otherwise it will be a complete waste of time. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The Budapest video plays a semitone too fast due to the transfer from film with 24 pics per second to video that demands 25 pics. So the easiest way for video producers always was, to simply play the film with 25 pics per second when transfering it. But in the meantime technology went on and it should be no problem to do it right this time. My hope for "Rainbow" is, that they still have the full versions of all those songs that once were edited into this weird medley of Father to Son/Keep yourself alive/Liar. And what to do with all the vocal overdubs.....leave them in....mix them out......I'm curious what they will do and I'm looking forward to it. |
| malicedoom 10.06.2011 09:09 |
I wish they'd just leave the 4:3 stuff IN actual 4:3. I don't mind the black bars on the side and I'd rather see it all as originally filmed/presented. |
| Wiley 10.06.2011 10:30 |
Budapest in 3D would be awesome but they should make it right. No crappy cardboard red-blue glasses but an actual "3D Bluray". Many movies are even sold with 3 discs editions: 3D Bluray, Standard Bluray and DVD or Digital Copy. To the posters dissing and complaining about the 3D bit.... it's not 1980! 3D is much better now and it is more accessible. If you don't want to see it in 3D simply disable it (not sure if it's possible) or buy the regular Bluray (2D) or DVD version (I'm sure there will be one). I don't see how they would release Budapest in HD but only in 3D. They will surely have a 2D version availabie in a second disc, like many other movies are sold today. |

Also, DVD is only 540 lines of Horizontal resolution yet UK PAL videotape is 625. I also think PAL 2" tape from the 1970's used on the BBC's equipment is FAR better picture quality and far nicer to look at that anything the 1980's and most of the 1990's had to offer. As for quality itself, Anything shot on videotape would benefit hugely from the space available on a Bluray disc. Bluray isn't an encoding format, it's a storage medium, and there's no reason why it can't be used to show the full screen resolution of videotape material AND at a high bitrate to reduce the risk of digital artefacting. |

Now you're making me MAD!!!!! You can't 'stretch' the picture, you have to zoom in on it and therefore you lose top and bottom and also decrease the quality of the image. The GVH DVDs were a bloody shambles. If it's shot in 4:3 then it bloody well should be kept in 4:3. Widescreening a 4:3 image is a practise that should be STOPPED and anyone caught doing it should have their balls removed with a rusty blunt instrument. Yes, that's swearing, but by God, you've hit on the BIGGEST thing that pisses me off here. |

I think you'll find film(35mm) can be cropped (matted) or anamorphically squeezed to whatever aspect ratio suit the Directors. i,.e 1.85:1, 2.35:1, 4:3 etc. Montreal 81 comes in two flavours, teh original (intende?) AR of 4:3 and the later cropped for DVd of 1.85:1. Not sure which was intended? Agree about analogue video being of better quality to sd DVD, forgot about that, same goes for audio (obviously) . |

You fricken Russian bastard your probably not even a Queen fan!! You probably get your joys just from being an idiot thinking you can own every Queen item under the sun! Well you're wrong! Sure, I want to see everything get released at one point in time, but it's nothing to rush. Everyone else here knows it, GT, GB, Bob, Jamster, Gregsynth, Pittrek. Your sick abusive childish mouth isn't gonna help anything either! I'll have you know one more thing! Greg Brooks was kind enough to send me a free copy of his 2005 revised Queen Live for FREE & SIGNED. I originally offered to pay money for it, he offered the signed part. Now you think about what you said, choke on it, and kill yourself! |

Well that's never gonna get a release! Was my reaction after watching the Rainbow show at the SIS exhibition, so I'll be quite suprised if this turns out to be true. I honestly thought we would have seen Hyde Park or maybe Earls Court released before this. Would make a lovely release if they include the March show, and some Tokyo '75 stuff. |

Don't know if anyone else saw this on the QOL site. From one of the admins: 'Don't get too excited, plans on LIVE releases are coming together, that is FACT and these two have been mentioned, among others...you guys will start to see live releases for sure and these will be part of that roll out eventually, but when and how they are presented is still unconfirmed'. |
| TheFairyfellersMasterStroke 19.06.2011 11:03 |
I would very much like see Budapest gig , and a Rainbow gig . But my heart feels that nothing will happen in this year since us often deceived. Brian said that there is many awesome plans will be involved about 100 songs, if I remember correctly, and will still be shooting film. And concerning concerts which are so eager to see the fans nor word he didn't said |
| Hangman_96 19.06.2011 17:06 |
Maybe this will be off-topic, but may I repeat my question to ksimpson1960 since it was ignored: was concert in Paris on April 23, 1978 filmed? |
| Dane 21.06.2011 09:40 |
Budapest is NOT an exciting enough performance to get the 3D treatment! They should take Hammy'79!! (earls court '77 is the best but that release will never be) |

Dane wrote: Budapest is NOT an exciting enough performance to get the 3D treatment! They should take Hammy'79!! (earls court '77 is the best but that release will never be) You're kidding?? Budapest is one of the best Queen concerts ever filmed. MUCH better than anything from the 70s where BBC/ITV cameraman were still 'cutting their teeth' with new electronic cameras and zoom lenses (doesn't it show, too!). Along with MK 82 and Wenbley86, i'd say Budapest is one of the most well crafted filmed Queen concerts, technically and performance wise. |
| thomasquinn 32989 23.06.2011 06:18 |
That may be so, but it's still a 1980s recording with typical 1980s technology, the shortcomings of which would be *emphasized* by a fake-3d treatment. I maintain that the 3d-treatment of 2d-source material is a waste of time and effort. Unless you film it stereoscopically, it won't look halfway decent. |

They borrowed every 35mm film camera in hungary to film it so we are probably talking 60's and 70's technology here considering these less developed countires couldn't afford the latest tech. The quality of the end product depends on the man behind the camera and the film stock used. Budapest remastered from the original film rushes and complete would look amazing. The parts with the band out and about in hungary should be taken out of the main film and included as extras (and hopefully expanded.) I'd buy that! |

I don't believe in this official news If in the release of gig in Budapest 1986 there is no doubt but in the release of gig at the Rainbow 1974, I don't believe |
| brians wig 18.09.2011 04:30 |
They can stuff them if they only plan to release in NTSC :( |
| Toozeup 18.09.2011 15:12 |
Considering the amount of footage on the second DVD, and the uncompressed stereo track as well as the DTS track, encoding the video to NTSC probabably saved valuable disc space and was the only way they could squeeze everything in. It's annoying, but the compression is still much better than the previous pal release! |

Brian's speech at the press launch of the Queen E-Book says: "It already has a Live section which is already extremely good, but over the coming months we will be adding material from Live At The Rainbow which can be fed into this product… you’ll be able to see it and click on it as an update". Looks form this that the Rainbow release may not be too far off then........ |

The more I hear these mentions about the Rainbow concert on DVD, the more I believe we shall see this concert on DVD. The first long-awaited step to releasing 70's concerts. And I don't care of it's going to be a compilation - most importantly, just give me that. |

The Budapest release contains: The Concert film and an "extensive" documentary about Magic Tour (with footage from TV channels)! And the Rainbow release contains: All the songs complete, but both concerts merged. and the March concert (at least what remains)! |
