I enjoyed the last part of the Remembering The Hammersmith Odeon documentary where they talked about Hyde Park. Being that they have been on a 40th anniversary kick with the Rainbow and now with the Odeon.... what are the chances we get a 40th anniversary release of Hyde Park next year?? Thoughts? -B |

I'd love to see this released but at the recent convention, Greg Brooks said it was currently being looked at to see if a release was possible. If it was going to be released next year, I'd have thought they'd be close to having a finished product by now, not just looking at the tapes. |

I'd have thought the very fact that it's mentioned (and a clip shown) points to the fact Roger and Brian would ok the release. I'd be surprised if it isn't as well as disappointed. I'm sure next year (Freddie's 70 birthday and 25 years since we sadly lost him) well get something very special. |

Sure, we'll get it. I bet on Live at Wembley 30th anniversary edt., or maybe Live in Budapest 10th anniversary edt. Bernie |

Was Hyde Park ever broadcast at the time (or ever)? I don't think it was The pattern with previous concert releases is to release established, 'known' concerts that were either aired on TV or had a cinema release. Hyde Park is obviously well know amongst us Queen fans but not to the general public which doesn't give much hope for a general release (I hope i'm wrong though). |

So, there is a big chance to meet this legendary concert to the general public at the 40th anniversary... It could be a great release with some good bonus... |

It's the perfect opportunity for a release. Rainbow was previously released, and Hammersmith was broadcast several times as well. Hyde Park could be marketed as NEVER BEFORE RELEASED QUEEN CONCERT.... If Hyde Park isn't on slate for a release next year, I think Brian and Roger must have gone insane. |

Now, I'm really optimistic about Hyde Park getting an anniversary release over a Wembley re-re-re-re-issue. But it's QP, and anything could happen... |
| Nitroboy 24.11.2015 08:05 |
Rock Montreal could get a re-release for the 35th anniversary... As could one of the South American shows get a release. Anything is possible, but speculating won't do any good. Let's enjoy this release for what it is. |

Didn't someone in the know (Possibly Rhys Thomas?) comment a few years ago that only footage from 6 or 7 songs from Hyde Park is usable? |

My thoughts on Hyde Park.This is a great opportunity for Brian and Roger to right all the wrongs of the recent Hammersmith release.Rainbow was fantastic,Hammersmith not bad,but the cover was horrendous.Surly they could have used the ANATO cover and put Queen Invite You To A Night At The Opera (or Odeon).Hyde Park screams out for a release.I am sure that most if not all of the Audio and video can be rescued.The next few years could be really special for Queen fans.Let us hope that the powers that be do not spoil it |

We spoke to Jim Jenkins tonight during the Queensday organized by Tez and asked him if there is a possibilty for a Hyde Park release and he told us that it's likely to be happening as not all the tracks are in good condition. My question was for a possible anthology boxset and he said that is happening. Greg is working on it. Such a nice guy. |

It probably means they can't overdub/autotune the tracks so they won't release it. |

Was the Hyde Park show also broadcasted on Capital Radio at the time? Perhaps there are some good audio masters at their archive... Like we saw at Live Aid the orginal tapes QP had were in bad condtion. MTV provided the complete masters they had including the Queen segment. |
| pittrek 25.11.2015 03:06 |
From what I've heard Greg hinted at the convention that the audio is the problem. Not that any of us would care. I'd buy the Hyde Park DVD even if the audio would be from the old video master or even one of the audience recordings. |

The trouble with QPL is they want to work from the multitracks. Personally, if they've got a good stereo mix, they should maybe use that instead and then they can present us with the entire gig. That said, if they're concerned about presenting a "quality" feature presentation, then they can stick out their 1 hour edit in 5.1 sound from the multi's and then put the excised bits on with whatever sound track they have as BONUS material. It's NOT hard, is it?! |

You Take My Breath Away sounds fine in the 2011 remasters. I always thought the problem with Hyde Park was the videotapes, and now is the sound? |
| MackMantilla 25.11.2015 08:05 |
I think I read somewhere, that the damaged tapes would be the video ones |
| fr1986 25.11.2015 08:32 |
It could be that or Knebworth Park. Any of those 2 gigis would be greatly welcome since they've never been released. |
| dave76 25.11.2015 08:50 |
No, he didn't mention the audio or video but he did said that it was investigated and that the band had Hyde Park in consideration. |

I very much hope that Hyde Park will be release by next autumn on DVD/SD-BD..likely by october-november 2016. Also there will be some audio stuff on few CD's, and some extra bonuses for box set. Let's wait..time will tell. |
