What next for DVD?
| Rotwang 21.09.2004 11:02 |
Queen should release a double DVD for Christmas 2005 with both 1975 and 1979 Christmas shows at Hammersmith Odeon. Thoughts? |
| Brian_Mays_Wig 21.09.2004 11:10 |
Im hoping it will be GVHIII. Will be nice to hear commentary on the later vids, IGSM, Headlong and TATDOOL. |
| Rotwang 21.09.2004 11:20 |
I agree. There is a version of TATDOOL that was done by Disney. Instead of the grayish look, they went back and put a gold glow over the whole thing. It was very subtle but very cool. I only saw it a couple of times but I hope it makes it as an Easter Egg or something on the GVHIII. |
| Pim Derks 21.09.2004 11:28 |
Probably Greatest Video Hits 3 and hopefully a 70's show. |

| Lord Fickle 21.09.2004 12:02 |
Excuse my ignorance, but why not Earls Court? I'd love to have some of the 70s era shows on DVD, but I agree, I expect it will be GVHIII next. |
| Fenderek 21.09.2004 14:16 |
didn't Brian in Las Vegas interview this year say that it's going to be probably xmas show...? He mentioned Hammersmith, but... didn't say which one... :) I really DO hope for Hammy'79- great, great show!!! About the Earls Court- it wasn't their best performance PLUS they had some problems with mic (Ogre Battle and TYMD)... |
| Daburcor? 21.09.2004 14:22 |
The only one I'm worried about now is the next GVH DVD. I want some Innuendo stuff in surround. |
| KillerQueen840 21.09.2004 14:25 |
Ya, I think a GVH3 would be very nice. |
| Shane Jazz 21.09.2004 14:31 |
Hammersmith '79 on DVD in great shape would be a dream come true. The bonus material could include clips of Paris '79 and some more of those great German Jazz Tour clips as shown on Champions of the World. |
| Giacco 73 21.09.2004 15:02 |
I'd love GVH 3 in 2005 followed by Live in Budapest 1986 with highlights from the Magic Tour '86 for the 2006.It would be great if they release both in 2005! |

| Giacco 73 21.09.2004 15:59 |
Of course there are other and maybe better tours from the musical point of view.But "Magic" is the one in which I fall in love definitively with Queen and I'm looking for extra footage of non common dates to give us all the material we can get of their last good bye.It's a matter of taste but I think is the most emotional tour Queen made.And maybe I'm not far from Brian May thoughs.By the way,I can't put in the same sentence Queen=Boring even if I listen to a song or see a video for 100 times :-) And last I think Budapest '86 is a complete show with great quality of video and sound so is in pole position to be released.It's a matter of time and I think we'll see other great show,even from the 70's I hope! |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 21.09.2004 16:56 |
GVH 3. Or an older concert. |
| Scirocco1977 21.09.2004 17:33 |
Releasing Budapest would be a Rip-off since we know the tracklist for sooooooooooo long. Apart from that great Hungarian Song there are only minor differences to the Wembley show. In case nobody else noticed, they use to release a Concert, then a GH DVD, then a Live DVD etc. So there is going to be GVH III first in Xmas 2005. Bet my bottom dollar, darlings... |

Bet my bottom dollar, darlings...I think it would be nice to have Budapest because it's a good concert and performance. There've been lots of discussion here about how it was a better performance than Wembley. Remember it was the show which was released on VHS at the time ('86/'87) in preference to Wembley, which was released later due to consumer (fan) demand |
| Scirocco1977 22.09.2004 06:18 |
I agree that Budapest was the better performance. However, since they already gave us Wembley on DVD, I am satisfied with my Budapest video and would not spend money on a DVD which has about 99% of the material on Wembley. hmmm, unless the bonus material is superb. As far as I know, releasing the Wembley DVD was also a fans' choice. A shame they no longer do polls for the next DVD release. |

| Rotwang 22.09.2004 08:48 |
If they do release Budapest, I hope they save the video footage of the band roaming the country for a special feature. I don't want it spliced in with the concert itself. I agree that Budapest was a better performance than Wembley. I still want to have a 70's show. |
| KevMull 22.09.2004 10:52 |
So the fact that Budapest was shot on FILM(widescreen?) which is of MUCH higher resolution & higher quality (not top mention SUPERIOR camera work) to Wembley which was basically shot electronically on video tape with some obscure camera angles to say the least, counts for nothing. Nobody here with a large screen display (RP, FP, Plasma etc) that would appreciate such quality piece of FILM (literally) and a supreb concert by Queen to boot on DVD? I know I would for sure. It's not all about track lists and multi coloured leotards! |
| KJ 22.09.2004 10:57 |
Hopefully a GVH III DVD release. Love to see some "unseen" footage and interviews aroud the Innuendo days. I think that is a very interesting Queen-period. |
| Rick 22.09.2004 11:03 |
Yeah, Budapest would be nice, but an older concert is also welcome! Maybe Houston 1977?? |
| Scirocco1977 22.09.2004 12:40 |
@ Kevo: I beg to differ. It is a music DVD and music is the main reason for buying it or not buying it. Andin my opinion it is useless to release two concerts with the same tracklist. |
| Rotwang 22.09.2004 13:01 |
The Magic tour was great but it was so scripted almost down to Freddie's dialogue with the audience. The mid to late 70's concerts show them in a more raw form. The setlist of the Magic Tour, which could have been called the Greatest Hits Tour, has all the songs we hear so often. Great songs mind you, but the 70's had more obscure songs in the setlist ('39, Dreamer's Ball, Mustapha, etc.) Those, to me, are more exciting. |

| Scirocco1977 22.09.2004 13:57 |
I might look it up, but I am lazy and wanna annoy you: Has the Days of our lives video been released after Fredddie's death? If not it must have been a hard decision, because there is no question that he was not it great shape... to put it that way... And I also prefer the version without the Disney crap. |
| Rotwang 22.09.2004 14:58 |
No need to get your panties in a wad ThomasQuinn. Not everyone has seen it. If you want to put your Queen knowledge to the test, just let me know. |

would it kill them to release something that hasn't been on TV or released as a video before? |
| Scirocco1977 23.09.2004 05:33 |
No, it would not kill them. But they are quite pigheaded and perfectionists. Everything they release has to be big... at least they hope so. Listen to all interviews the last years. Even Queen Rocks was supposed to be hard work. So my guess is they only want to release stuff wich they can supervise. Also, the Queen vault isn't that filled anymore. |
| brENsKi 23.09.2004 07:46 |
i think that the 70s stuff is only obscure because of the march of time. many forget that in 82 they did HS album tracks, in 84 they did works album tracks too....it was ALWAYS their way to promote their new album. i would like to see a dvd relase that covers something not already generally in the public domain....something more remote...and complete!!! the "concert through space and time rare live" thing was bollox loads of japan concerts were filmed surely? |
| ogret raylot 23.09.2004 10:10 |
I wish they would release a DVD of the Hyde Park show and the Earls Court show. |

I think Earls Court 77 maybe isn't the best choice for the next dvd release. Even if the performance is good and everything, I still think the video is too dark and "boring". If they want to release a 77 concert, Houston is the best choice I think. It looks much more interesting to me, and since it's SOOOOO hard to get it on vcd I would be really happy to see that one released one day! And a complete version of Hammersmith 79 would be nice too, or some 78 show if they have any. |
| Rotwang 23.09.2004 12:47 |
Perhaps Queen should go to Skywalker sound and THX to produce the DVDs. That would fix any problems they supposedly have. I think they don't want to release Earls Court because of the major screw up during You Take My Breath Away. Piano mic difficulties.....sure. |
| brENsKi 23.09.2004 12:47 |
there's no point in hyde park (it cut short due to local constabulary) or earls court (excellent concert but band were very impersonal and nervous) - and both gigs are (as i mentioned earlier already widespread in the public domain....houston 77 would be a cracker - but i thought it's already been said that there is no complete version of this gig ANYWHERE either audio or video - even Queen don't have a full copy - so little hope there |

I've heard of some people who's got a complete video in EX quality. But QP has said that they maybe won't release it due to some mic problems, like in Earls Court. I hope they change their mind! |
| bitesthedust 23.09.2004 13:13 |
Is that right about Houston ? Didn't Queen Productions show a video of the gig to Brian/Roger a while back, and they weren't impressed with it? Personally I'd like to see a CD/DVD of the one of the complete live killers shows to replace the original compliation....heck, they've constantly produced "new" compliations to replace older versions.... |

| brianburnsdavid 23.09.2004 14:39 |
Well, I think a early/half seventies concert and/or gvhIII would be great. |
| AlexRocks 23.09.2004 15:19 |
Actually I think a couple of you are incorrect about what short promotional films (music videos) that there are for the song "These Are The Days Of Our Lives". My understanding is that there is the black and white performance one and THEN the one released in the U.S. on music home video in 1992 on "Classic Queen" was the one related to Disney which had animation inserted into certain spots of the film. The THIRD verion of the film is actually the one where you see the black and white performance and at some instances goes into gold coloring which is cool and in some instances shows clips of Queen on film from throughout their history. I believe this third version came out around the time of "Classic Queen". |
| Rotwang 23.09.2004 15:36 |
It's probably all just a matter of which shows Brian and/or Roger likes. I'm sure they have full video of all the concerts that were videotaped. Remember, Roger hates Live Killers so if one of them doesn't approve of the project, it gets scrapped. Also, do you think Queen will consider the release of Live Aid as a Queen concert, as well? |
| brENsKi 24.09.2004 07:42 |
as i said earlier...much of the far east tours were filmed...they would be interesting - esp from the crowd particpation levels... have to say that most of the 70s stuff - EC HP and hammy + one or two european crazy tour vids tend to crop up at music fairs - so the internet/bootleg access argument fall over a little. i think if queen were to release something it should be new - or at least not "in the wild" - there's plenty out there...and if houston is complete then why not? - surely it wouldn't sound worse than the sound on hyde park? |
| Fenderek 24.09.2004 08:09 |
There's no point in releasing Hyde Park if only for this reason- it's one of the worst gigs Queen ever played... Brian was extremely nervous, Freddie had IMO bad day- Flick Of The Wrist or Sweet Lady are probably the wort versions of those songs I've ever heard... |
| KevMull 24.09.2004 10:24 |
It HAS to be Budapest, quite simply because it's the best 'all rounder' as far as concerts go. Great performance by Queen at their PEAK. No technical hitches. EXPERTLY filmed and edited on, QUALITY, HIG RES FILM and NOT video tape!! Oodles of extras from to include from their Hungary trip. |
| don't_stop_me_now 9697 24.09.2004 11:19 |
Am I not getting it right, but are they not going to release the Milton Keynes 1982? That would be great, the setlist is SOOOO Cool :) |
| Roger_in_Tigerskin_Trousers 24.09.2004 11:33 |

for me...any live dvd would be great! Why?some people say that they shouldn't realese "this" concert, or "that" concert because they have already in bootleg...everyone talks about bootlegs...but everyone forget one thing... the GENERAL PUBLIC doesn't have access to them! Why not hyde park?whu not earls curt?why not hammy?or houston?or another? For me any of these or another would be GREAT,and for the general public (the majority that,remember,doesn't have access to bootlegs) would be great also! if realesed in full lenght concert of course... |

To say an official release will not be welcomed because you have a bootleg is just ridiculous. No bootleg will have the sound/pic quality of a Queen-approved official release on DVD in 2004 and beyond. So I'm with you there, Popy. |
| quackboy 28.11.2004 04:23 |
rock in rio 85 + hammersmith '75 |
| Whatinthewhatthe? 28.11.2004 11:22 |
Magic Years should be considered as well since there are probably a lot of people that haven't seen it. I hope the release gets great treatment and of course some bonus footage that DoRo held back/edited out of the original release. Add 5.1 surround and it'll make everyone happy. |
| Mercuryworks 28.11.2004 11:59 |
fatty mentioned a Queen Bloopers DVD in one of his post id love to see that |
| Mercuryworks 28.11.2004 12:04 |
Live AT The Rainbow ON DVD (i know it was released already but with extras like Liar, KYA SCC, KQ, and tour dates and maybe commentary and a section where Brian teaches us the songs they played and SSOR TotP ) or Live In Tokyo May 11 1985 |
| deleted user 29.11.2004 06:33 |
I'm hoping to see gvhIII and hamersmith 75 and 79. I would also like to earls court on dvd. |
| Benn 29.11.2004 08:31 |
What they SHOULD do is to go the whole hog and spend the time creating THE definitive Queen release on DVD. To my mind, that would be a lavish box set featuring the following: Rainbow '74 complete (minus studio overdubs & additional footage from USA '74) Hammersmith '75 (plus Japan '75 extras) Hyde Park '76 (plus Japan '76 extras) Earls Court '77 (plus Houston extras) Munich '79 (plus a whole host of extras from the tour) All would be 2-disc sets with an additional disc of interview material concentrating on their 70's shows. Add to that a lavish booklet featuring a quality, critical essay on the band's live output and a wealth of unseen pictures & concert memorabilia. The price would be very high but well worth the money for the content. And I'm sure that people would send the money of the product was RIGHT! Then release a box featuring 80's shows with space for MK & Wembley to be put in the box too. The fact is that this all takes too much imagination for it to become fully realised as with so many things post-Freddie. |
| brian_may_wannabe 29.11.2004 10:05 |
Hopefully Greatest Hits III. Or a Brian May/Roger Taylor/Freddie Mercury/John Deacon solo video collections. Would it be nice for a Queen Video Collection. |
