In 2013, all of my Rainbow videos got deleted from youtube after a copyright claim from Believe Music.
A few months later Rainbow 74 was officially announced and later released.
In late 2014/early 2015 all of my Hammersmith Odeon videos got deleted from my youtube channel after a copyright claim from Believe Music.
A few months later Hammersmith Odeon 75 was officially announced and later released.
Today, the video Sheer Heart Attack from Hammersmith Odeon 1979 got deleted from my youtube channel after a copyright claim from Believe Music...
I hope that this isn't just a weird coincidence :-)

Oh, I've never had any videos actually deleted. Only blocked.
That particular song was included in the 2011 bonus videos, and I can assure you that YouTube's Content ID system isn't smart enough to know the difference.
Believe are fastidious little feckers, they basically own all the video on my YT channel and all my stuff is fan made except for a few bits. I reckon they have pulled about €4000.00 off my stuff this year. They had a policy of allowing only 1/3 of any Q+AL show on YT but they seemed to have relaxed that stance as it is impossible to police and there is also no Q+AL product out or planned anyway.

Weird, the Sheer Heart Attack Hammy '79 video on my channel comes from the iTunes release and it's still up...

They're contracted by Queen to manage their videos and protect their copyrights on sites like YouTube.
A long time ago I was sent a PM on YouTube from one of the people working there.
I think, that the following product should be Hyde Park or Houston 77, everything else in my humble opinion would be boring and unnecessary, including Odeon 79.
