Hi, everybody! Merry Xmas to all you beatiful people on Queenzone :) Please somebody could help me in this? I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who has written me a list of all the extra features not included in the standard dvd version of Days of our lives documentary but released only on Blu-ray. I am seriously taking in consideration the option of buying a blu-ray dvd player if the extra features are this:
BONUS SEQUENCES (38 minutes extra):
- Queen: The beginning
- Queen on tour 1974-5
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Working together
- Leaving John Reid
- Don't stop me now
- Flash Gordon
- Making videos
- Scrabble wars
BONUS INTERVIEWS (19 minutes extra):
- Return to Imperial
- Brian's healt scare (Us tour 1974)
- Manager Jim Beach meets the band, 1975
- B-sides
- Freddie's outfits
- Another one bites the dust
- The songwriting balance changing in the 1980s
- Freddie legless
- Highlander
- The show must go on
Could please anyone conferm if this is all the extra material featured on the blu-ray compared to the dvd version that only features "From magic to The Miracle", the making of Innunendo and Made In Heaven and the extra videos (Radio Ga Ga, Somebody to love, Under Pressure, Crazy little thing called love, Killer Queen, We Are the champions) as bonus material? Thank you ;)
I was pretty annoyed, I didn't realise there was such a significant difference in bonus content until I'd bought the DVD. Oh well, I still have youtube :P
There's a lot in that bonus stuff that I hadn't seen, Liar at the Rainbow with the alternate first verse and power cut was very interesting. The entirety Stone Cold Crazy from the same show in excellent quality was also nice. Do they just show us clips of these shows to torment us?
Was really hoping the extra feature of "From Magic to The Miracle" would have been much longer! This was a pivotal time in the band's career, as it was the period where Queen cease to be a live act, and the turmoil that each member was facing in particular May and Mercury were going through which would have a much bigger impact on the future of Queen! Felt like it was just very quickly put together, I suppose it works in one sense that you want more!!!
Anyway, this doco in general is so much better than what the 'Torpedo Twins' had ever put out, their docos were boring and predictable!
