OH. MY. GOD.
This release is un-be-fucking-lievable.
Can we all get together and agree to each buy TWO of these damn things (even if you sell the other on eBay) just so that the sales numbers are high and impressive enough for them to keep releasing stuff like this???
What an incredible AMAZING job done on this set.
Just.... wow.
the (ahem) obvious flaws are: buying loads makes them think we'll buy it again and again and again and again....thus:-
2014: initial release
2015: ltd edition rainbow coloured/embossed packaging re-release
2016: ltd edition - special "bonus video - missing from original release" re-re-release
2018: bonus edition - enhanced re-re-re-release - with additional 1974 interviews direct from archives (you know the ones that QPL and archivist weren't even aware existed)
2019: 35 year special re-issue multi boxset incl Milton Keynes (oh fuck), Montreal (sigh) & Wembley 86 (christ)
2020: special 1st annivesrary (Roger Taylor RIP) - no new material
2021: extra special Freddie Mercury 30th anniversary edition (incl special Freddie photobook - all stereoscopic images created by Dr may)
2024: extra special recreation of original gigs - Brian may & Adam Lambert re-work/overdubs to correct mistakes on Freddie's vocals tracks...and some guitar parts
If you buy the deluxe box, you already have two copies of the show, one on DVD, the other on Blu Ray. The quality of both of them would be the same as there is only so much remastering that can be done on a video recording which is 40 years old!
Haha brENsKi and sadly so true.
I like the super Deluxe set - but agree that including a DVD and BluRay is pointless. Would've been nice to replace the BluRay with the 2lp set in there.
I'd like both shows on CD and DVD but you can't get that in one pack. As far as I know, only one show is available on DVD/Blu Ray. You can only get both shows in audio format. I could be wrong.

I don't think it would fit in the slot.
where's there's a will - there's a hammer and some pliers
