I am trying to decide which version of live at the rainbow to buy. I have preordered the special edition but i see they have a blu ray version so my question is which do i get i mean i got the special edition for $74 is it worth it? |
The Real Wizard 30.07.2014 01:31 |
Hell yes. Screw the standalone blu-ray and get the deluxe box. This is the best Queen release in decades. |
GERRYISADICK 30.07.2014 05:01 |
You are right and I checked the edition I pre ordered has a blu ray so im hood on that front. I didnt get it from qp but a different retailer is that advisable |
Nitroboy 30.07.2014 07:37 |
It's just a shame the Deluxe box is so overpriced here in Europe. |
GERRYISADICK 30.07.2014 11:20 |
Yeah wait who are you buying it fron qp? |

The UK Amazon is currently selling it for £113, which is $191 (or almost 3 times as much as the US Amazon price) with the current exchange rate. In the German Amazon it's listed for 100€, which twice as much as the US price. It's easy to demand ridiculous prices if there are enough customers ready to pay for any Queen release, whereas the US price is based on the actual value of the contents. |

Anyone with a pre-order on Amazon UK for the deluxe version placed before a week or so ago should see the price was reduced to £69.19. That price will be honoured due to Amazon's pre-order scheme. |
Barry Durex 30.07.2014 15:09 |
^ Somebody on QOL forum said they pre-ordered from amazon UK on 10th June and their basket is showing £46.99 |
AB-88 30.07.2014 15:10 |
^ Bargain! |
Barry Durex 30.07.2014 15:12 |
^ More like what the price should be rather than a bargain ; ) |

Yeah indeed it is a bit of a sore spot for us. We ARE technically part of the American continent, however the use of "American" itself has been attached to refer to the country or the people of the USA. |
GERRYISADICK 30.07.2014 16:10 |
Yeah sorry about that my Canadian brother |

What does the North American deluxe edition contain (not European super-deluxe)? If it only contains the Blu-Ray and 2 CD's, I will by the video and music separately and save money. |
GERRYISADICK 30.07.2014 20:00 |
Well good for you |

The Amazon.com website indicates that the North American Deluxe version has the extra content of the European Super Deluxe version. Given that the European super deluxe set is 3X the cost of the North American deluxe set, I just want confirmation as to what the Norh American deluxe set actually contains. |

They should just shut up and give it to us |

I suppose it's futile to advise folk to hang on a few months 'till the price comes down. |

Well at least its going fast they announced a day or two before the tour now the tour is over and we are in august and fuck waiting we have been waiting for this for 40 years! |

I just purchased the "deluxe" 4 disc edition from Amazon.com --- http://www.amazon.com/Live-Rainbow-Deluxe-Box-Set/dp/B00L22BHYI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406859639&sr=8-1&keywords=queen+rainbow+74 I am still slightly concerned that Amazon.com will send the "Package four" 3 disk North America only version. http://www.queenonline.com/en/news-archive/press-release-live-at-the-rainbow-to-be-released-in-september/ "Package four (released in North America only)SD Blu-Ray & CD combo box" If Amazon somehow pulls a bait and switch and sends me "Package 4", I will bitch at Amazon like a MF. I told my wife a few hours ago that I am buying this 67.98 deluxe set, and she wondered whether I had already bought this a few months ago. Then I heard the "leaked" FFMS excerpt a few minutes ago, and that further sank the hook. |

Between the Rainbow Deluxe & 4LP Vinyl boxsets and my previous Division Bell 20th Anniversary boxset purchase, plus the two Q+AL concerts (and associated trip for one of them), this is a really heavy year for music investment on my part :P Thank god I'm not so easily tempted to dive into the Zepp re-issues...lol |

So I looked into the cost for both the 4LP and the Super Deluxe box, and importing it all would be the same cost for buying the Super Deluxe box from the UK alone... Great job pricing this QP! |
