So it's worth more as a "guide" for collectors than as a tape to watch with your friends on the weekend while having a drink and eating sadwiches.

Bollocks featuring bullshit It is all "remasterd" by DoRo. If you get a normal copy of Sao Paulo the quality is less (I got a version wich is better than rare live. The circulating copy's of Houston and Knebworth are also less just like Earls Court. It's no guide, it's no entertainment, it's not facanating. The only thing you learn is "How can I screw 60 minutes of tape".

If you mean the ones that are floating around on the internet, yes you are right. But not ALL circulating copy's of Houston and Earls Court are 'less'! Especially the latter one has some PRISTINE versions! Just depends on your sources and/or how long you have been 'in the trading game'. Nevertheless: Rare Live is a load of bollocks indeed. It does not tell you anything about the quality of bootleg video's that are circulating either.

That's why everybody's so excited about the Hyde Park broadcast this friday. ] ------- Also keep in mind that Rare Live was compiled YEARS ago in a time when QP did not yet have the same sources as they have now. Queen did NOT have all the mastertapes. Queen STILL does not have ALL the mastertapes. Btw: Hyde Park will be broadcast in audio, not video.
