Well, all that we already discuss ...
Rainbow in 2014, Hammy in 2015, possibly Hyde Park in 2016...
But, what about Earls Court and/or Houston in 2017?
What are your thoughts?
I ask this because I'm not sure whether it is possible, in order to have some technical failures.
Sorry if i'm wrong, but I never saw a source with stereo audio of these shows.
The 39' in 2011 remasters seemed to me as mono with delay and surround effect to turn into stereo...

2011's 39 is certainly genuine stereo made from the multitracks.
Actually, more than anything I'd like to have the second night from Earls Court released in its entirety!
We have only a few songs and bits from this night (07-06-77) but it all sounds AWESOME. I'd say it looks like this night was a lot better than the first night.
I think (or fear) that - if they do an Earls Court release - they will once again opt for a compilation of both nights, which would be somewhat of a desillusion for me.
I really hope the setlist is correct in Greg Brook's Queen live book (I know, this is very very risky!). It's an awesome setlist, especially since Sweet Lady is included.
Concerning Houston: I like that one but more than anything from that tour I'd like to hear the last show from that tour... I hope they miraculously recorded that one in quality that's suitable for release. Check that setlist... Imo the best they ever played, it has everything: heavy songs, soft songs, slow songs, acoustic songs, crazy songs, singalong songs and songs to just listen to,...
I would hazard a guess that next year we'll have Hyde Park in some form. I'm just not sure all of the songs are usable due to damaged tapes etc. It's a similar situation with Earls Court and the mic problems. So we may got a combination of the two. Obviously I'd prefer Hyde Park in full followed by Earls Court in full. But if we get what they have in top quality ie Rainbow and Hammy 75 (putting aside the extras on Hammy 75 are not good,the visual and audio quality are top notch IMO).
I hope we would get both Earls Court shows in full (One night being the Bonus) as one release and then Houston with the Bob Harris Documentary as a bonus too, personally with Bob's supervision I would let Rhys produce a whole new edit of the documentary footage and we would end up with an absolutely outstanding release! Just get new graphic designers in please.
How about a decent hair-cut in 2017 :)
No just joking. I 'll take em both. Aside the fact, that this won't happen. QP is looking for Joe Average not the die hard fan.

Well, the chart performances of Hammersmith suggest that QP missed Joe Average completely
Hammy is not a release for average Joe and they know that. The problem also is that it was released just a year after Rainbow and it's a very similar show. I hope they keep releasing this stuff though. It's about time the fans started getting some proper gems.
Greg Brooks his live book was far from correct. He, the man who has/had acces to the vaults wrote in his books that Queen at the Rainbow played Doin' Allright. He never ever mentioned The Fairy Feller. Isn't this peculiar?
