Hi.
I would like to get my copy of Hammersmith 1975 before it's released. Later it will be almost impossible to find. Something like this happened to Rainbow '74.
I found 2 torrents, but there are no seeders. Thanks.
I guess what I am trying to ask is are there now three different audio remasters of this concert?
2009 ,2011 and 2015, or are 2011 and 2015 the same?
Or is that 2009 and 2011? LOL!
Hi Real Wizard,
Just a small point of interest - on your great web site you say "A 25 minute version of the video was broadcast on British TV in (or around) 1985. This was the best circulating copy of the Hammersmith footage until a Japanese broadcast of the nearly complete show in the early 2000s". The broadcast was actually 25th August 1984, I remember it well because I was going to see the band at Wembley Arena a couple of weeks later.
Please see the link for the TV schedule for that day under "Rock Around the Clock": link
There was clearly a demand from the public as Queen won the vote for the concert to be shown yet we had to wait another 31 years for an official release?!

I've heard there have been legal issues with the BBC for years surrounding this one.
Thanks for the tidbit about 1984 - much appreciated !
