Does anyone have any idea what we can expect this year from Queen as far as Dvd and Cd releases go? Surely it must be time to release something exciting featuring all four original members of Queen? |
Nathan H 05.05.2019 13:12 |
A live release from 1979 seems the best bet as it has been teased by a close source that a 40th anniversary edition of Live Killers may be happening. |
Star* 05.05.2019 15:28 |
Hopefully some form of Dvd footage would be ideal as well From "Live Killers" and juicy bonus clips would be such a treat with band interviews from the era of 1979 ! |

This has the potential to be the best live release Queen have ever done as they've got several complete shows from all three tours they did that year. |

But really if you put aside all the compilations, there really aren’t that many duds. We complain that there’s repetition or that they release stuff we already have from bootlegs. I enjoyed The BBC box while most complained, same with Hammersmith. I do agree with Queen Forever being nothing more than a waste of time and space. A 3-song EP would have been enough. |

Jmmy Dean Yes we have had some great Dvd Releases but i think the golden jewel in the crown for most Queen fans must be The Hyde park 1976 concert and still no official release as Brian says the sound is so poor on that concert. While many bands treat there fans regular Queen fans wait almost an eternity for new things to appear. I would have thought Brian and Roger could share some of there personal collections for releases of things we have not seen or heard? If you are a Beatles fan or an Elvis fan there is almost something to buy every year without fail but Queen fans must be the most patient souls on the planet! |

I believe the old U-matic tapes from the footage had unrestorable damage caught . Mastertape from Hammy 1979 was missing too from what I remember. They only had the videofeed tape which was poor quality. |

Justin and Kris can't fix bad sound, they only digitally fuck up perfectly good analog sources. |

Surely the Hyde Park and Hammersmith shows 76 and 79 could be restored or made up decent from different sources provided by fans? And while i am in moaning mode what has happened to Earls court 1977, no official release for that show or shows in the same year for a Dvd release? |
Vocal harmony 06.05.2019 16:45 |
Fan sources from Hyde Park will either be bootlegs (or copies of) so not great quality or the freely circulated officially filmed old bootlegged VHS or later DVD boots. None of these are likely to be better quality than the officially held copies. Earls Court petty much the same, and that sufferers the previously much discussed piano vocal mic drop outs. Songs from both those venues have appeared in quite good sound and picture quality so there is still hope of something if not the complete gig in each case. I'm hoping something from the Jazz/Crazy Tour 78 /79 gets released, plenty was recorded around that time. |

Despite what clowns such as yourself seem to think, mixing audio is not something you can do well without quite a bit of training, not to mention that it's a lot of work, and a substantial part of that work is absolutely tedious. It also takes a considerable number of tools that you couldn't use if the content is on a bluray or dvd - multi-band compression? Nope. EQ-ing separate tracks with a set of generic hifi speakers? Good luck! At least 99% of the potential buyers of Queen-products couldn't do it, nor would they want to - they want the best possible sound, which they're not going to get if they have to do the mixing themselves. |
aristide1 13.05.2019 12:33 |
It's a remarkable dumb view. "Professional" means that someone is working for money, not that his work is exceptional. And multi-band compression is not mandatory, unless you want to leave work at 5 PM and have the job done in time. All those "secrets weapons", especially compression, means easy life for engineer, not better sound. Did they have a multi-band compressor back in 1975 at Trident? |
thomasquinn 32989 13.05.2019 13:43 |
Gee, what a surprise, there's the stooge/sock puppet... Your remarks make it abundantly clear that you haven't a clue what you're talking about. And yes, they could well have used multi-band compression in 1975, by means of band-pass filtering and then applying compression to the resulting outputs as required. The fact that you refer to compression as a "secret weapon" and assert that it "means easy life for engineer [sic], not better sound" strongly implies that you understand next to nothing about the processing of audio. None of this is strictly relevant, though, as you yourself hint at the fallacy that is central to your unreasoned idea: "have the job done in time". Do you really think that the general public wants to spend dozens of hours doing tedious work to mix a concert in order to listen to it? I think not. |
aristide1 13.05.2019 14:16 |
Audio processing should be subtle and subdue, not intensive and taking "a considerable number of tools", as you say. Did you ever heard "Live at the Bowl" LP? It's virtually unlistenable on a hi-fi system, because of the "considerable number of tools" wrongly used by professionals. |

Ma'am let me explain in a simple manner to you. You start with the original mix and audio levels, but you give the listener the choice to fade in or out the main 5(lets say 5 you dumb retard) main audio tracks, something like this: BASS GUITAR Freddie Drums(maybe more tracks for fun) Keyboard(if the case) piano maybe they could include some effects options for each track make it mode fun. MAKE IT INTERACTIVE, also it would be an eye opener for many people when they start to add or subtract an audio track from the performance.It gives a better understanding of how a rock performance with 4 or 5 instruments is done! Many listeners assume background players or playback or clicktracks are involved in the performance. Most of those millions youtube viewers on "Montreal 1981" don't even realize the whole performance is based on just 3 live instruments... and Freddie on the piano sometimes. |

I really fucking want Kampuchea 1979 to be released. I haven't been around long enough to know the rumors about what state the raw footage is in but shit even if they just released a damn CD. Something from the 'Crazy Tour' would be awesome, I'd like to hear his voice in such good shape in something other than a bootleg. Question: Regarding Kampuchea '79, I can't help but notice that the more complete versions we have lack 'BoRhap', and when it was aired as 'The Queen Special' it was lacking that as well. Was the song maybe not filmed? It seems odd to me that it would've been cut from a TV special in 1980 just considering it's popularity unless it wasn't properly available. I wonder if Queen PR can't bring themselves to try and release a non-moustache, no-BoRhap DVD/CD. |
Star* 25.05.2019 13:03 |
Yes not enough Cd / Dvd footage on Queen in the 70s is available but we are lucky to have had "Live at the Rainbow" and "Hammersmith 1975" Kampuchea 1979 would be awesome, but there is some Dvd bootlegs out there on this concert already. i own a copy myself.. |
sammyfrankfreddie96 25.05.2019 13:10 |
Oh don’t get me wrong I have the video and the audio recording as well. But to have a high quality mastering of the complete show, and remixes from the multi tracks in crystal clear quality would be a real treat. |

Why QP should consider the desires of "buy me a pony to ride him once and get bored" potentially interested customers like you, are you planning to invest in such a product or you will download it from torrents? Because they can send the pony directly to glue factory, to save time and money. This means minimum releases, which they are already doing brilliantly. Too many fake connoisseurs and too little innocent fans. |

The man is so limited that he still doesn't understand we are not talking about real mixing. It's about combining several tracks (NOT THE ORIGINAL ONES) EQ'ed and compressed (how else?), maybe submixes, all prepared for this multitrack experience by his beloved professional mix engineers. And the "99% who want the best possible sound" have also a standard mix, if this is an issue. Anyway, all is imaginary, but it seems there is already someone concerned how to restrain our imagination. |
