Hey everyone, since there is a rebroadcast of the Milton Keynes concert this Friday on Sky Arts, I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a different in audio or video between these two releases of the concert.
The first official release we got was in 2004 by Parlophone: https://www.discogs.com/Queen-Queen-On-Fire-Live-At-The-Bowl/release/627387
And a newer version of the concert was published in 2013 by Eagle Rock: https://www.discogs.com/Queen-Queen-On-Fire-Live-At-The-Bowl/release/8327264
It was suggested to me that the TV broadcast on Friday may just be an edit of the 2013 version, could anyone who has the newer release possibly confirm if there are any audio differences to the 2004 release?

Of course no-one bothered to remix the audio or re-made this reissue. It's a simple re-print of 2004 edition with Eagle logos on the cover. I must say the quality of the artwork is weaker than on 2004 print.
Slightly related, I remember Ziggy Stardust The Motion Picture was on BBC4 back in (I guess 2003) and I watched it for the first time in a while and noticed loads of changes in the mix and was confused. It sounded bad. Then they announced it had been remixed by Visconti for DVD release which came out later. So what I'm saying is, stranger things have happened.
Sky Arts has often shown the original 1982 broadcast edition, complete with original audio (which has a far better sounding snare drum) rather than any of the later DVD releases.
