From Musictap: "Hollywood Records announces two interesting DVD titles for September 13, with one from Jesse McCartney and another from Queen. The projects are title-less for now." |

I'd faint if it was Knebworth. |
Oberon62AU 14.04.2005 20:57 |
I imagine this title is probably the same one as the Queen+Paul Rodgers title named for approximately the same timeframe. If not, perhaps its Greatest Video Hits 3. Hopefully we get both a Q+PR live DVD AND GVH3 before Christmas, but Im not holding my breath :) Steve |

My question: Why release a show from a tour that you are just now bringing to the US? Why would Hollywood release a Q+PR DVD in order to promote a Q+PR tour? Makes no sense. |
djaef 15.04.2005 00:00 |
On the other hand, wouldn't it make sense to release GVH III to capitalise on the interest generated by the tour? It makes sense to me, certainly more than putting out a live dvd. |

It would be great if that is what they do, but I don't see the rationale from an economic perspective. Then again, I never see the economic rationale with Hollywood... |

Well I bloody hope it's GVH3. We've been waiting ages for that now - it was meant to be released in 2004! |

A coupla issues back, Ice Magazine wrote that the 12/26/79 gig was being released direct from the master tapes. Outside of that article I haven't heard anything else about this. |

It would be great if that is what they do, but I don't see the rationale from an economic perspective.There is only a limited number of shows the band can perform (and they do have to pay a lot of people wages for it..). They aren't going to tour in the States enough to satisfy all the fans, but if they release the show on a dvd, they can reach a lot bigger audience. |
Maz 15.04.2005 14:51 |
Yeah, but you do that AFTER the tour. |
Tero 15.04.2005 15:52 |
Zeni wrote: Yeah, but you do that AFTER the tour.What if there is no "tour"? Do you see them doing another thirty dates in the states, or do you think they will play a handful of concerts on the east coast? In the autumn the main (ie European) tour will be over, and they are going to release the cd/dvd to cash in from those places that weren't included on the schedule. Sadly that is going to include most of the USA as well. |
Maz 15.04.2005 22:11 |
I stand corrected. According to Brian's reply to a letter on the subject, it is a DVD of the current tour. |
greaserkat 15.04.2005 23:40 |
Why does everyone keep saying they wish its going to be GVH3. If this was the case, why would they only be releasing it in America? |
Saint Jiub 16.04.2005 00:14 |
I agree with Michael Allred - if you like the DVD - go to the concert. Watching a DVD is nothing compared to seeing a live performance. For example I have commented that the We Will Rock You Musical is crap based on my viewing of the video at the Breakthru convention - only to be repeatedly told that I would like it if I saw it live. If DVD's and videos were the be all and end all of entertainment, there would be no market for live performances. |
Scott_Mercury 16.04.2005 00:16 |
Everyone wants GH3 for Innuendo, IGSM, Headlong, and TATDOOL videos....which have never been avalible to us. I just ordered a bootleg vhs off some pirate ebayer just so I can see Headlong and IGSM videos..... It will have to hold me over until we get GH3. Nothing about Innuendo made even a ripple in the water in the USA. In March 1992, when BoRhap was put in Waynes World.... all focus shifted to Queen's 1970's work. Innuendo was for the most part a very English sounding album. In the USA, thats a term heard in many music schools, for a dark, moody sounding album. Damn, I love Innuendo. |

They are just a supplement (and occasionally vice versa) to the concerts, and they have the potential to reach those who couldn't go to the actual concerts. There are always going to be people who can't go to the concerts for one reason or another... Too little money, too young, not able to travel 2,000 miles across the country etc. |

It's cheaper to produce a new concert than several different music video clips, and as long as they haven't released "all" the music videos on dvd, they can still claim to the general public that the band isn't finished. :P |

COMPLETE DVD OF CONCERT AT THE RAINBOW THEATRE IN 1974!!!!!!! |
Maz 17.04.2005 11:45 |
Your "claims" were more wishful thinking than informed speculation. But to answer the question, no, it still doesn't make sense. You release the tour DVD after you have completed the tour (or, at the very least, toward the end of the tour). Perhaps, as Tero suggested, this is a sign that the tour will not be as extensive as the European leg. The only positive I can think off is that the American tour will feature a somewhat different setlist than the European tour, thus raising the DVD's appeal. The negative, of course, is that this is compensation for not getting the tour at all. |
Negative Creep 17.04.2005 13:26 |
Aren't they getting ahead of themselves with the talk of live DVDs? Theyve so far only sold tickets on their history - former glories. Surely the only people who'd think of buying it would be people that have seen the show and actually liked it? Based on the Brixton audience, i'd say lots of people will go home very disappointed. |
Saint Jiub 17.04.2005 14:14 |
My guess is that the European tour DVD will help promote the US tour. Maybe the tour DVD might allay some fears that Queen is old and washed up without Freddie, and convince casual fans to shell out good money for a LIVE concert. |

Live at Wembley DVD has pretty much the same tracklist, and the original singer on it. And it's already availabe at half the price because of its age. Who in their right minds would buy the QPR concert?! |

Not to blur things, but when Brian says "the current show" its seems likely that he means the Q+PR tour, but what if it's a DVD of the WWRY musical (also a current show)? |

Mr.Jingles 19.04.2005 08:30 |
I think Hollywood Records and Queen Productions are quite doubtful of the success of (a possible) North American tour, and decided to use the DVD release as a promo. Btw, Is this DVD only going to be released in the U.S.? |
GregM 19.04.2005 08:39 |
I've seen live concert DVDs used as marketing for the next leg of the same tour before...Take the live "Songs of Faith and Devotion" VHS release by Depeche Mode, for instance. That came out when they still had two legs of their tour to go, and it apparently did wonders for ticket sales. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a live DVD of Queen & PR released to coincide with the launch of the US leg. I'm still surprised that Queen & Hollywood are dubious about the success of a US tour...They might not be able to sell out a Hyde Park venue here, but they still have power, and believe me, people will go. I think everyone will be very pleased. Now, whether the tour should be seven weeks remains to be seen...I'd bet a short four-week tour would be a safe and successful bet, and dates could then be added later if those shows prove successful. Anyway, I think a live DVD of the European leg is a good sign the US will finally get some Queen shows. Greg |

Brian didn't confirm that the DVD was a US only release. I reckon that the DVD would be released in Europe too, it's just that the only website that has any info on this release yet (and it is a good few months away) happens to be a US one. So it would simply be a DVD released at the end of the European tour (not an unusual thing) that's also released in the US. |

jesus ive never read such crap in all my life as is on this site. all those who despise paul rodgers, simple solution to your problem. don't go to see the tour. would you rather not see queen touring at all? yes it's a shame freddie isn't around, it's a shame george harrison and john lennon are dead too. there isn't a huge amount that queen can do about freddie being dead i'm afraid. i saw paul rodgers in cardiff last saturday and he was brilliant miles better than anyone else who's tried to sing them before [except freddie of course] debates about freddie's piano playing v brian's piano playing....yawn. they are both very good pianists. knebworth on dvd. christ how many magic tour gigs do you need? what about earls court 77 hammersmith 26/12/79, hyde park 76, rainbow 74 all would be much more interesting than another magic tour show. |
