I would happily buy a re release of this if the colours were sorted.
They could actually make a nice box set including both the Montreal nights on CD and all the '81 footage on DVD with Montreal being main feature.
Cool!
Sadly when I saw the Paul Rodgers Ukraine gig in theaters (ultimately 1 night only at the theater I went to) it was a dismal attendance.
Being that there are few music stores these days I doubt they could have had key advertisement other than the in house trailer which I heard about with this as well as QUEEN: HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY.

why would they remaster it on 4k if they don't plan to release it. i'm sure they will release again montreal, maybe this time with some bonus footage from the other show. i know it's a compilation of both nights like rainbow but we could get some songs from the night that hasn't been used/seen in the film.
It may well be showing in Australia... but the flag logo they're using on the official website is just a little bit wrong.
Perhaps with some colour restoration and say, an extra star, the New Zealand flag could pass for ours.
:)
Dunno why they had to put it out with rubbish colourisation in the first place - do they only realise now how bad it looked?
Perhaps they actually listened to feedback.

i know there's gonna be a ton of negative comments if they re release montreal concert but i for one would like that for two reasons:
1. band was on fire that night and we might get some unseen footage from a night not used in the film
2. a/v quality on 2007 blu ray was superb except the colors so the video quality can only be better now with 4k remaster and corrected colors.
I don't think anyone would mind particularly - it's not gonna be like the endless re-releases of Wembley, it's one reissue and it's a huge step up in quality.

I would be very surprised to see that. The unused film rushes were lost. QPL only owns a film of the edit that was made back in the early 80s by Saul Swimmer, that's the reason 2007 version has the same edit and no extra footage. Brian commented on this in the commentary track of the DVD and Soapbox.
