The QSE will be a permanent exhibition relating to how we worked in Mountain Studios in its heyday … including a facsimile of the original desk and outboard gear, many of our instruments, and associated gear. There will be a guided tour, and the opportunity to 'play' with the faders, and do a mix of some Queen multitracks on site - sounds like fun !
I have read it correctly only MIH multitracks will be available in Montreux. What do you guys think?

Bo Rhap wasn't recorded anywhere near Montreux.
Good point, but is that required? So should the song or album have been recorded over there so the audience can play with it?
Of course it's not required, but it's IMO far preferable if they actually mix a song they recorded there, of which there are many. Queen's not just Bo Rhap.
Yes Sebastian, but this is not a question about what they *should* do if they're real fundamentalists, but what they are *going* to do. Let's face it, they're not going to aim at die-hard Queen-fans only, so they're bound to pick a well-known track.
"so you can sing-a-long to Freddie's last song in the original chair he was in when he sang it"
Hopefully they haven't cleaned it since his last accident in the chair.

Briand and Roger are said to open the exhibition on the 2nd of December. Although the public opening is apparently the day after. I'm trying to know if there is a possibility to attend the official opening on the 2nd in presence of Doc.M. and RMT.
I have already askey by email the Montreux Casion, The FM Trust and both email of Brian's website - all three without success. If anyone has an idea, please come forward. thanx !

Bo Rhap's not the only well-known track Queen did. Queen had 49 hits, out of which 48 (97.96%) are NOT Bo Rhap.
And how many of those 48 songs are as well-known as BoRhap? Maybe two or three?
Let's try to keep perspective..
They needn't be as well-known as Bo Rhap in order to qualify. I'm not saying they should re-mix Mustapha, Calling All Girls or Delilah but a medium-sized hit like I Want It All, Bicycle Race or A Kind of Magic can easily do the trick... and guess what - those songs were actually (at least partially) recorded in Montreux.
Both songs are available in full. You can mix 10 stereo groups of Made In Heaven and 9 stereo groups of Mother Love.
You can also hear Bicycle Race and The Invisible Man in 5.1 surround sound. The first one is synced to both known videos, but for the second one... surprise!
