I Loved That Would Be The Concert For Kampuchea Concert in 1979. That Would spectacular, don't You Think? With a Lot Of Extras on dvd 2, off Course |
| Zizzu 11.11.2004 07:42 |
Ok, there are not many professional recordings that could be used in an official released. This is my list of possible DVDs: -Live at Rainbow 74 -Live at Hammersmith 75 (both even in one set) -Live at Earl's Court 77 (with bonus from Huston) -Concert for Kampuchea 79 (with bonus from Munchen or Paris) -Live in South America 81 (it can be include Buenos Aires, Caracas or S.Paulo shows) -Rock in Rio COMPLETE SHOW 85 (including bonus from Tokyo or Sydney) There are also The Hide Park concert 76 or Knebworth one 86 but I think will never released because of their bad quality. What do u think? |

Anything from the "A Day at the Races" / "News Of The World" Tour Era 77/78 ist loooong overdue - Would like to see Earls Court 1977 or Houston, Texas, 1977 - is there any other show from these tours that was filmed in good quality?? Freddie wore his most classic outfits on these tours - love that Harlequin-costume. |
| Zizzu 11.11.2004 11:42 |
The only show professionally recorded from 1977/78 era are Earl's Court and Huston. The first one with a good video and audio quality, except for some microphones problems that could be solved with overdubbs from the second night (also recorded). The second one, it says, survive in archives in an integral form, even if a ca. 45 min bootleg can be found today (quite rare). From this era survive also some numbers from USA tours, including audiece bad-quality recordings (such as the longest one, 22 min silent footage from Los Angeles 77), and Keep yourself alive/We are the champions live in Munchen 78 (broadcasted on TV); I doubt anyway this tapes could be use for an official release. The previous recordings are fewer. Roumors says that the Budokan concert (1975) was recorded integrally, but is it true? |
| Negative Creep 11.11.2004 11:55 |
Its about time they started releasing 2/3 gigs together as opposed to one gig then scraping the barrel for extras as a second disc. Also, they spend too much time on the audio on these live DVDs and seem to neglect the picture. Do we honestly need a 5.1 mix for a live gig? No. |
| NTL 11.11.2004 14:23 |
If they were going to release a DVD of one concert it would have to be Houston '77 because, a) It has a great set list. b) The band are in superb form. c) It is the only footage of Freddie in superb voice ( yes much better than MK ) d) 99.9% of people who have seen it say it is the best Queen show they have seen. And also, because it is so rare everyone will buy it. So what if the picture quality isnt great it will still blow the socks off any Earls Court bootleg. And as for the audio, anything can be fixed. |

And it contains big hits like Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, You're My Best Friend, Somebody To Love, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, and also smaller hits like Spread Your Wings and Good-Old Fashioned Loverboy. This is an excellent choice :-). |

Didn't Jim Beach say that Houston wasn't in good enough quality for a commercial release? |
| Daburcor? 11.11.2004 22:29 |
I'm almost positive he did so, i'll say... Yes, Yes he did. ;) |
| OgreBattleField1980 11.11.2004 22:32 |
Maybe its just me , but I recently downloaded a bootleg or what i think is a bootleg of Earls court 77 and honestly , i wouldnt mind that one being released as to me it has a great version of You take my breath away , and i acctually like the live version of this song as opposed to the acctual album version of this as it is very beautiful. |
| j0ck3 12.11.2004 08:43 |
Houston would be very nice. I mean the audio doesn't have to be PERFECT or as good as Milton Keynes. As long it is enjoyable sound and quality of the picture I would be happy. And the audience? It's a American audience. American audiencens suck. Bootlegs prove that they are quiet and sophisticated (as Freddie says at Earl's Court) as they wont get their asses going. Montreal also proves that. But I wouldn't mind as I would love to see a release of Houston. |
| Liquid Scream 12.11.2004 13:03 |
j0ck3 how has Montreal proved that North American audiences suck???? That We Will Rock You video proves nothing about North American crowds let alone Montreal crowds. One lame crowd, it can happen. So the crowd didn't sing Love of My Life. What American audience did? I haven't heard one bootleg in which they do. For proof of American audiences not sucking try Montreal 78 and 82, MSG and the LA from the ADATR's tour. Those American crowds far from suck! |

The band already said that this gig was as good as the Wembley and Knebworth ones. But many fans say that it's the worst official VHS ever released, they say that Freddie was out of fit, etc. São Paulo looks great (specially because I'm brazilian and OF COURSE I'd like to see a release of a concert which happened in my country), but do they have a good quality version of it? Watching Rare Live I think they don't.Rock in Rio is not one of the best Queen shows, but not the worst too! Even Wembley isn't the top of the tour, but it's a great event. Also Rock in Rio is an important piece of history in Queen's career, such as Rainbow, Live AID etc. I think an integral form would sounds great if we think that will be added tracks as Somebody to love or Killer Queen. Talking about S. Paulo gig, as the other S. America shows (Caracas and Buenos Aires) it was broadcasted on TV enterely (ca. 113 min. with 5 min. of souncheck) and it could be conserved in the network archives. I think the quality of the video-tape is good. |

I still say they can release a DVD of the 70's shows in a manner similar to what Zeppelin did last year w/ thrie DVD. Show a selection of songs from the main shows; Rainbow 74, Hammersmith Odeon 75, Earls Court 77, Houston 77, Kampuchea 79. The best moments from each put together in an order that runs like a concert. Then all the added extras like old interviews, other TOTP, anything. That Zep DVD is the blueprint to which all others should follow. If you haven't seen it, go buy it! |

I hope the collection will rappresent the entire career of the band from the beginning (Rainbow) till the end (Wembley), in a complete way. |

It always amazes me how quickly people demand for a follow-up just right after a release. When you've just had your dinner, do you immediately ask what you'll eat the next night? No, you first enjoy the dinner that is served and then you relax and feel good afterwards, you feel satisfied. When you consider what will be you next meal after eating, I think you haven't enjoyed it. Let's digest Queen on Fire and Live Aid first :-) |
| mike hunt 13.11.2004 08:51 |
anything from the 70's, we have enough eighties. the jazz tour would be nice, we'll get to see the nude bike girls. |

or if they have the madision square garden show that would rock. |
| Rick 13.11.2004 13:57 |
I just watched Paris 1979 (the 60 minutes video) today and I must say that it really rocks!!! I think this is one of the best Jazz shows. Great performances of Fat Bottomed Girls, If You Can't Beat Them, Dreamers Ball, Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody To Love and Spread Your Wings. Queen are in topform here, and Freddie talks to the audience quite a lot, I think that's pretty cool! This is also a nice option for a release, it has enough commercial hits for the big audience, so it's a good choice! Bur we'll see :-). |

What do u think?I think "Earl's Court '77" would be pretty good for release because; a) its set list was unique ,for example, "Death On two Legs" was fully performed after Freddie's speech about it, and "Doing All Right" was contained and so on... b) its rapport between Freddie and the audience was so fun and relaxing c) rock'n-roll medley was properly long and so cool to see d) it was the memorable and the last concert during the period when Queen closed the main set with "In The Lap The Gods" before the News Of The World tour e) even though it didn't contain "WWRY" and "WATC", it was so much attractive as a whole, especially, he played the piano almost half of all the numbers, and "White man-Prophet's song" were awesome, too. I have little about Houston, but as far as I see the official VHS, such as "Rare Video" and according to Mr. Greg Brooks's "A Concert Documentary", I do hope "Houston" will come out whether in its entirety or not. Will there be any possibility about that? Its set list contained "WWRY", "WATC" ,and "Love of my Life", so it would satisfy the big public and it might show more variety than "Earl's Court". About "Kampuchea", I have its bootleg CDs and I have wondered why they have not released its video or DVD...I've thought it was representatively fantasitic concert of late '70s ones of Queen. Anyway, I do hope one or two from the period when Freddie was wearing harlequin leotards will come out such as "Earl's Court" and Houston". Hmm...Suppose some from Jazz tour will be added to any other concert DVD as a bonus track..it would be so nice... And I also hope "Kampuchea" will be released. What do you think? |

Maybe suck is a too strong word in this case? Maybe lame is better. I listened to Montreal 78 today. Montreal 81 has given a bad name for Montreal concerts. Even if Montreal 82 must be one of the best Hot Space gigs of the World Leg. If you listen to some typical gigs during maybe The Game tour, gigs as Hartford, New York and Chicago as you can only hear the crowd really well during vocal improvisation and We Will Rock You. That is a lame audience. No wonder why Love Of My Life was dropped from the set during Hot Space Tour. Some of my favorite concerts in America are New York 77 (the night Saturday Night's... was performed) Oakland 78 Montreal 78 Montreal 82 Philadelphia 82 Chicago 82 Oakland 82 There are good American concerts. Majority of the about 250 concerts Queen did in America are lame. The band may do a good performance. The audience won't. |
| proton 16.11.2004 05:32 |
Hi there! I have the concert from the 12th (the first performance during Rio 1985) complete! The picture quality is not very sharp, but the sound and movement is good (I used a dvd-standalone recorder to convert the VHS tape). If you interested I can send a copy. |
| Regor 16.11.2004 05:39 |
I am still not convinced that the audience in Montreal is that bad. Maybe its all down to the mix, and Saul Swimmer concentrated on the music rather than the audience reaction. And maybe they did not sing LOML just because it wasn't as popular in that territory as in the rest of the world. As I stated in another thread, the audience in Montreal goes berserk when Brian walks out of the dark and onto the "catwalk" during his solo, even the people on the grandstand are really receptive and rocking ! I've often heard that the audience at Earls Court is also too quiet. Listen carefully and you hear them scream really enthused during Freddies in-between talks. Its just too quiet in the mix. We're talking of 18.000 people here. Maybe someone can shed lights on the mixing-thing ? And for american audiences in general: I have the Seattle '76-gig and this audience really goes nuts about everything. Great Stuff ! Concerning the next release, I already made up something in an older thread... by the way, I also want ENTIRE concerts, but some things lend themselves to a release as bonus material, so here we go... Maybe something like Led Zep did with their "DVD", assuming that all future releases will feature at least two discs: -they could compile several only partly existing shows, and those of poorer quality (e.g. Munich, Paris, Budokan, Hyde Park) on one Disc and the entire Earls Court on the second - they can fix the mic-thing (missing vocals on some tracks), I'm sure !!! As a "Queen live in the 70's"-compilation ! -to be followed by what was a proposal in the QOL-Forum which i liked a lot: the entire Hammy '75 and '79 released as "Queens Christmas Crackers" -to be followed by a "Queen Rock'n'America"-Compilation Triple-DVD featuring the full Houston and the american clips of that documentary by Bob Harris (which was never shown ?), with the full b/w-interviews, and snippets from LA '82 (if existing), Montreal, if ownership is returned to QP someday, and the TV-recordings from South America including Rio '85. -to be followed by "Queenmania in asia", a 3-DVD-Set with full Budokan, Seibu Lions and '85 -to be followed by "The Queen-Tornado - A Magic Tour" with the full Budapest show and a documentary with snippets from Mannheim and what exists of Knebworth, and also the backstage footage from that tour by Doro. |
| moonie 16.11.2004 12:59 |
The reason the audience sound quiet on the earls court gig is because they did not have audience mics up.The crowd noise you hear is caught by the onstage mics.Suprising that thay didnt have ambience mics considering that this was going to be officially released.Belting gig though,I watch it a lot. |
| HDvorak 16.11.2004 13:13 |
Yes, the Zep DVD should be a model for every classic rock band. ELP hired the same guy in charge of that one, and has a double disc DVD slated for release next year. As I see it, the problem with Queen is, that no one from the band seems to have any sort of enthusiasm for this project. Brian 'n Roger have gone all Andrew Lloyd Weber on our ass, and John has a lesser public profile than JD Salinger! Jimmy Page has always been a obsessive Zep archivist, and the amount of effort he put into the DVD project was staggering. Some people think that if only we give QP a list of shows, than they could plop out the DVD in a matter of weeks! Not so! To get it right, the video and audio work would probably be excruciatingly lengthy. But, y'all must admit, a 70s DVD concert compilation seems pretty obvious! The '74 & '75 London shows could be combined into one. Ditto with the '77 EC and Houston concerts. Add a bit of the Kampuchea and there you have it. Queen heaven! |
| My Melancholy Blues 17.11.2004 01:57 |
I wonder what can make Brian and Roger or anybody have any sort of enthusiasm to set to this project. Though I've sent mails about it to QOL twice before, how many mails have been posted being similar to mine... I wish Freddie appeared in their dreams almost every night and urged about it...(Sorry, Freddie) , though in the middle of '80s he seemed to feel embarrassed when he was talking about the styles of his twenties... |
| NOTWMEDDLE 17.11.2004 02:20 |
The NOTW tour was the first tour where the guitar solo was not on Brighton Rock since the 1974 tour. It was after Freddie's vocal solo after White Man. White Man/The Prophet's Song with Freddie and Brian's solos would run usually a good 20 minutes. Brian's solos would go on for 7 minutes. |

How many casual "Greatest Hits" fans would buy a 1970's show is also debatable due to the sets from that time and the fact certain tracks obviously wouldn't feature - Ga Ga, Magic, Break Free etc. Would they recognise If You Can't Beat Them, It's Late or White Queen in the tracklisting and rush out to get the release? |
| Liquid Scream 21.03.2005 12:17 |
I imagine the next live DVD will be the Hammersmith 75 performance, with it being the 30th anniversary of ANATO and the tour that promoted the album. They could include some of the Hyde Park perfomance as the bonus features. Maybe they could include the songs that weren't performed at the Hammersmith concert. I can't honestly see that whole show making it onto a DVD although it would be nice. |
| My Melancholy Blues 21.03.2005 12:44 |
Yes...this year is the 30th anniversary of ANATO, so I think it's the best chance to release some from Hammy'75. And although Hyde Park Free concert took place in '76, it was before they released ADATR. So, for the historic Hyde Park concert it's also the best chance to release some stuff. |

About that Hammersmith petition: I don't think it a good idea, the shows are too different, the only thing they have in common is the venue (and the band:P). |

| My Melancholy Blues 22.03.2005 03:44 |
Well...I'm aware they performed only Bo Rhap from ANATO at Hammy'75. Besides, they seem to disagree with high regard among fans, cuz Brian (and Freddie) got flu at that day. So, they may think it's not suitable to release in complete version. |
| Liquid Scream 22.03.2005 08:45 |
Brian or Roger mentioned the Hammersmith 75 show will get its release on DVD during a US radio broadcast last year. Maybe I shouldn't say "will get its release on DVD", I don't want to misquote. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It was on Rockline while in Las Vegas to promote the musical. |

You guys have to understand that QP won't release stuff that aren't in the best possible quality. Even though the die-hard fans would buy it, not the others would buy it, and that is what matters. It has to be worth buying for everyone. |
| Liquid Scream 23.03.2005 15:40 |
Mr. Fred if QP are interested in releasing the best quality possible how come they didn't release Budapest instead of Wembley? Budapest was shot on film which is far superior compared to video which Wembley was shot with. |
| nibznik 24.03.2005 16:10 |
you guys do know hammy isnt the full show right? its missing see what a fool ive been and seven seas of rhye, maybe if they like uber enhance it (its lesser quality than all the other tracks) it could make it onto the dvd. Also is hammy 79 the full show, ive only seen the tv special of it. |

However, I reckon the majority- if not all the shows- on the 2005 will be recorded by Queen Productions. |

The footage of Killer Queen from the Earls Court June 7th show on Rare Live looks much better than the bootleg that everyone has from the 6th. There are multiple shots, better camera work and its well edited. The first night was probably just a warm up for the camera crews the same as with the Wembley shows from 86. Who knows how good the footage from the second night is. I would love to see the second night released. |
| My Melancholy Blues 25.03.2005 19:40 |
I'd like to see the second night of Earls Court concert as completely as possible. I also think it would be better than the first one. hmm...this topic often makes us hot! btw I'm surprized to see my old post!... like "who wrote it? Oh my! it's me"... |

Do you people have "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS - FINAL LIVE IN JAPAN" DVD? It is official release, but only for Japan. It's only one disc, with no extra stuff, but it has superb video/audio quality of their Tokyo concert in May 11, 1985. DVD was released in 2004 (during summertime, I think). I've got it two days ago. I ordered it on the internet from japanese Amazon site - and it came in only 13 days! (I live in Croatia, Europe.) And it wasn't expensive - with postage I payed it same as average DVD in stores in my country. I'm very satisfied. And I believe no-one else owns it in Croatia. There is only one little problem with this DVD - it lacks "Dragon attack", so concert is not complete. But than again, it's only one song. If you have it - please tell me what you think of it! :) |
| NTL 27.03.2005 15:01 |
Getting back to xmas '75, Greg Brooks has said that "It has still to be officially released on DVD though this is likely to be addressed soon". Brian and Roger have both said similar things with Brian mentioning that they dont have a multitrack of the audio so they wont be able to do a proper 5.1 mix but they will do the best they can with what they have. Also who has ever said that SSOR and See what a fool... were not filmed ?. I saw a VHS for sale a while back on a Japanese site which was said to be the complete show including SSOR & SWAFIB. It had stills from the show including the Bob Harris intro & stills of Freddie sitting at the Piano which must have been after the R&R medley as there were Ballons and Blow-Up Dolls floating about. |

Rather than posting wishes to this subject that are read by other Queen fans, is there also someplace else to send our requests that can actually look them over and do something about them, such as Hollywood Records or Queen Productions -- either by email or by letter? |
| My Melancholy Blues 27.03.2005 20:04 |
I think to discuss about such topics makes people think about it more and more and makes them realize that they need to mail to QOL and so on anyway. Personally I've mailed to QOL some times before... BTW I have "Final Live In Japan" DVD and I love their performance of that day as a whole esp. "It's A Hard Life", "Love Of My Life", "Hammer To Fall", "I Want To Break Free" and Freddie's vocal improvisation . But I don't like its camera angle. It's not so good as a whole, sometimes quakes, sometimes changes very quickly, which makes me uneasy. And about sound quality, it's not so clear. Some years ago, Brian said in an interview he was not satisfied with their performance enough to release officially, but it was one of their historic concerts anyway. Personally, I wish I were someone who got towel or false breasts Freddie threw toward the audience. |

It's not so good as a whole, sometimes quakes, sometimes changes quickly, which makes me uneasy.I dont have a problem with this - I'm quite satisfied.

I was wrong in my last post - I've wrote "superb video/audio quality" but I've really ment only video. It's so clear, much better than Milton Keynes.

I collect CDs, DVDs, posters, autographs... but NOT dirty towels or ugly false breasts. :) My favourite moment from this DVD is "Radio ga ga". Also, I'm very impressed with "It's a hard life", "Crazy little thing called love" and "We will rock you" performances. |

Sorry, I've edited my post a little... |

Why?? |

I read someone said somewhere it's considered to be the worst among ones officially filmed ever. But I'm not sure whether it's the worst quality or not... |

Hey, you're from Japan... and a girl too! Nice to meet you... :) |

Anyway I think it's interesting to see cuz it's from Works tour and so set list is unique. btw, I've wondered why Brian wore such an outfit with lots of strings on it during Radio Ga Ga. I think it seemed to prevent him from playing guitar. I've noticed various Bri's outfits through their career. p.s. nice to meet you, too. :) |

I don't like most of the Brian's outfits... some are really ugly to me. But he looks great and elegant and so ROYAL - on this concert (and on the whole Works tour), BUT only in the first half of the show (when he wears that simple white/silver outfit, with a red "belt" (I don't know the right word on english for that piece of garment). It is his best look ever! But his changings later in the show... with that "things" hanging aroud... I don't like it at all... ugly. The same thing is on the "Live at the Bowl" disc 2 - again video footage from Japan - when Brian wears some complicated and (to me) very stupid yellow/pink shirt... :) But sometimes he can (when he wants!) look just great (like on the front sleeve of "Live at the Bowl"). But all this is just my "taste in the wardrobe"... :) |

Hey My Melancholy Blues, maybe you could do something for me, if it's not much trouble for you? Could you please tell me (in a few words) what is that japanese text about - in the inner sleeve of (yours and mine) DVD? :) |
| My Melancholy Blues 29.03.2005 14:25 |
I don't know whether it would be suitable to write about its text here...so I'd like to post another one in general board. |

Earlest Queen footage ever would be great, like from the 71-74 era....see Freddie's early antic's and to see his womanly dressing. Oh yes and to hear what the producers heard and made them want Queen so bad. |
