NAME AND DATE.IN ADDITION,WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT A QUEEN MUSICAL DVD?MAKE A FILM ABOUT THIS MUSICAL AND RELEASE IT ON THE OFFICIAL COLLECTION.SORRY FOR MY BAD,AND HORRIBLE ENGLISH.. |
| flash00. 11.11.2005 11:57 |
in my opinion i think the next DVD will be greatest hits 3 or live at budapest DVD, yes i'd love to see a movie about queen or freddie's life but only if it was a big hollywood style movie not some low budget british film industry crap, also it would be fun to see a movie based on the musical, hey mate there's nothing wrong with your english it is very good!!! flash00 |

It's definitely not going to be Budapest. Not YET. It will be out one day but not just yet. GVH3 is a possibility (when asked Greg if it's postpponed or abandoned he said "It will be out") My guess would be Hammy 75 or 79 or Houston 77. personally i'd die for Kampuchea gig... Another one I'd love to see (but that's onlya wishful thinking) is Tokyo 1-5-1975- PERFECT setlist, how many times did they play "Hangman", "See What A Fool i've Been" and "Great King Rat" at the same gig? It's going to be 70s gig, I'm almost sure... And I doubt it will be Earls Court, and I'm sure we'll never see Hyde Park out (and I'm not going to cry about it as it wasn't taht good IMO) |

For me Earls Court has the perfect setlist, but after listening carefully I found lots and lots of mistakes. The harmonies were off (especially Roger, who may have had a cold or something) quite a few times, and of course there's the problem with Freddie's mike. I don't like too much overdubbing on live albums, but if they do release Earls Court I wonder if they're going to fix that. Any concert that has Doing Alright, The Prophet's Song AND the Millionaire Waltz should be released IMHO. |

I hope a 1979 gig... London would be great! Earl's Court is a great gig to, but I prefer a gig with the full Prophet's Song, not just the vocal part. Was Tokyo 75 professionally filmed? Love to see Hangman! |

The same thing happened with the mastertape of Hyde Park. There is a audience recording available of Hyde Park, and they don't play or sing false! So it's owing to the mastertape. The second night in Earls Court is still a possibility. But I think it will be Paris'79. |

For me it's the concert material of the Seventies. One DVD-release with "Live Killers"- material, okay. Rainbow 74, Hammersmith 75, of course, and parts of earls court and houston , as used in the strange "Rare Live"-video, are owned by them too and should have been released soon in an adequate way, I think. |

What I also would like to see,is Hammy'79 and the sooner the better.What a show!!freddie in great voice,great IILWMC,freddie on superman(spectacular).....Coupled with a parisian show would be awesome.We would then have a videoversion of It's late which is great stuff!! Actually,there is lots of great footage.I just hope Queenproductions give it the care it deserves.There is rare footage that is surely worth to be officially released:munich'78(it's late,spread your wings perhaps),fort worth(would love to see it!! |

Don't get me wrong, but i don't think that Queen in 1975 is worth of a DVD. As a bonus it's OK but i've seen their Hammersmith '75 and it doesn't rock, although visualy it's very good. They could do like Iron Maiden, release an early years (or Magic Years) and as bonus they could put all those magical concerts like Japan, Raimbow, etc, and the real good ones they would release on DVD as a concert DVD.

Unfortunately, I would be willing to bet there will be no more official dvd releases of Queen material - the market just isn't there. Don't yell at me - I know there are a lot of Queen fans out there, and I would LOVE to see some of those old concerts (I am too stupid to figure out the bittorrent thing.) Does anyone know how many copies of Queen Greatest Video Hits 1 and Queen Greatest Video Hits 2 sold? I think the future will be all Queen + . Every now and then I email PBS (our USA public broadcasting system) and request they use Queen for their fundraising pledge drive - no luck so far. Hmm, now here's an idea: how about a dvd release series called Queen Greatest CONCERT Hits - as in not one whole concert but bits and pieces taken from concerts over the years - material that has not been officially released before! |

Like many already mentioned I'd absolutely would love to see the entire Tokyo '75 gig but that's probably not gonna happen seeing as Queen Productions doesn't even own the rights to it. It's supposedly somewhere in the archives of a Japanese tv station. Right now I think Hammy '75 or Hammy '79 have the most chances of getting an official release. |

QUEEN: 'Under Review 1973-1980' DVD Receives U.S. Release - Nov. 17, 2005 Music Video Distributors has just released QUEEN's "Queen: Under Review 1973-1980" DVD. Between 1973 and 1980, one of England's finest-ever groups released a body of work displaying such quality, strength and individuality, that such an outpouring of creativity has rarely been equalled in the rock era. The legacy of those classic records has maintained an indelible stamp on the radar of every music fan across the globe, and the band's absolute pinnacle of achievement during this period remains among the world’s all time favorite pieces of music. "Queen: Under Review 1973 - 1980" features rare live and studio performances of the band playing some of their best known hits; rare and classic QUEEN interview footage, and a host of other features, all interspersed with the independent review and criticism from a panel of esteemed experts. These include; the broadcaster, journalist and longtime friend of Freddie Mercury, Paul Gambaccini; rock author, journalist and QUEEN expert Malcolm Dome; guitarist and journalist Simon Bradley; contributing editor from Uncut magazine Nigel Williamson; ex-Melody Maker features editor Chris Welch, among many others contributors. And with plenty of DVD "extras" and superb slipcase packaging this is the ultimate DVD set for the band's millions of fans. Features rare performances of these classic QUEEN tracks: "Keep Yourself Alive" (Recorded Live In London during the early 1970s) "Seven Seas Of Rhye" (recorded in Hungary during the 1980s) "Killer Queen" (from a very rare "Top of the Pops" appearance) "Stone Cold Crazy" (from the classic 1975 Rainbow Christmas Concert) "Somebody To Love" (from a rare promo film) "Bohemian Rhapsody" (recorded live in Dublin prior to the single release) "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" (another very rare "Top of the Pops" performance) "We Will Rock You" (another performance in Hungary) "We Are The Champions" (live in London) "Bicycle Race" (live at the Tokyo Hippodrome in 1979) "Don’t Stop Me Now" (another recording from Tokyo) "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (an early 1980s performance from Paris) "Another One Bites The Dust" (an ultimate live performance from Austin, Texas) Check out the DVD artwork at this location. |

(or is there another 'proper' pro version) One of the WORST Queen TV concerts I have ever seen. Doesn't even come close to Ham 75 |
| Rick 18.11.2005 11:05 |
Yes, 3 nights were filmed. And I don't mean the one shot with one camera! |
| The Real Wizard 18.11.2005 22:32 |
Paris 79 - the facts: All three nights were filmed, at least in part, with at least one camera angle. The bootleg video, which is only one camera angle, is surely a compilation of all three nights, as is proven in two separate ways: For those who have the footage, observe the time clock as it spans well over 4 hours of recording time. Many songs are into the 22nd hour of footage, and match the audience recording of the third night, March 1st. Many songs are are well into the 18th hour, and these songs match the audience recording of the second night, February 28th. Freddie says "merci beaucoup Paris" at the 17 hrs, 7 minute mark, and this does not match the audience recordings of the second or third night, so it must be from February 27th. This is clear proof that all three nights were filmed to some extent. The video has a cut in Now I'm Here, and the time clock doesn't jump, which indicates that the recording stopped and resumed. The bootleg video is only of one angle, but of course the missing footage may exist in another camera angle in the archives. If not, then they will have to work their magic to make the cut look seamless. We know for sure from Rare Live that there is more than one camera angle from the February 28th concert, as seen on Tie Your Mother Down. We also know for sure from The Magic Years that there are several angles from the March 1st concert, as the fantastic footage of Let Me Entertain You shows. However, we do not know if the audio from all three shows was actually properly recorded. A multi-tracked soundboard recording exists of February 28th, as a small 18-second snippet was used for the beginning of Brighton Rock on Live Killers. This doesn't conclude that the entire second night is in the vaults multi-tracked, but just that some of it was. The soundboard recordings used for the above videos are a mystery. Not only can we not prove whether or not they exist multi-tracked, we can't even prove if they're in stereo! All of this footage has mono sound. Conclusion: If enough footage exists, and ample time is spent polishing the video quality, a "Live In Paris" DVD is definitely a strong possibility, provided that the audio is available. |
| NTL 22.11.2005 10:37 |
The fact that they dont appear to have used any footage from Paris on the ANATO DVD makes a release of this seem unlikely. I did think that the footage from Houston on the DVD did look very good and alot better than stuff on previous releases, maybe they have been tinkering with it ! |
| Mkls 22.11.2005 10:56 |
about the edit in now im here : time clock proves nothing about the availability of the actual recording... but it was certainly interesting about the dates. Remember more video footage of Brussels 79 turned up from QP, released for the Japanese TV... As for H77 being better in quality on the new DVD: Simon L said that they are looking at the possibility of digitally impoving/regrading the footage, the question is is that financially worthwile or not... As for Knebworth, why people cant understand that it was NOT recorded, what we see on Magic Years and Rare Live are two camera shots of DoRo from the left and right side of the crowd... check it... they might not even have the full gig. |

..... wrote: about the edit in now im here : time clock proves nothing about the availability of the actual recording...Have you seen the 60-minute Paris 79 bootleg video? The only possible flaw in the time clock hypothesis is that they could have copied from one tape to another, and decided to cut out the middle of Now I'm Here. I don't find that to be very likely. But as I said, there are more camera angles, so the missing section probably exists on one or more of those. Maybe the tape ran out at that point on the camera angle as seen on the bootleg. You can hear the blip at the 21:16:50 mark. The recorder stopped and continued. Remember more video footage of Brussels 79 turned up from QP, released for the Japanese TV...Actually, the Japanese broadcast was less than what had been broadcast before! My old VHS is a couple minutes longer. As for H77 being better in quality on the new DVD: Simon L said that they are looking at the possibility of digitally impoving/regrading the footage, the question is is that financially worthwile or not...A DVD from the late 70s would sell like hotcakes in the US and Canada, because those albums sold incredibly well here. The reason why Wembley sold so well in Europe is because people in Europe know those 80s Queen songs. tilomagnet wrote: Well, I think all shows of the Live Killers tour after the Brussels gig were recorded for a planned live album anyway, so that should mean that they have multitrack recordings(or at least they had them once) of the Paris shows, too.

That doesn't make sense to me.A fair point. But this doesn't say for sure whether or not every show was recorded in its entirety, and that the sound quality was decent enough. Brian May has said that the quality of many of the shows was bad, leaving them with only a half dozen or so shows to actually work with. Listen to the third chorus of Champions on LK. The acoustics are awful! is there actually any proof that they have a complete multitrack recording of the Houston'77 show?Not at all. We don't even know if there is a stereo recording, never mind a multi-track. |

And why would anyone make the effort to set up everything for a multitrack recording and then record only a chunk of songs from the middle of the show(concerning the snippet that was used of the Feb. 28th show)? That doesn't make sense to me.A fair point. But this doesn't say for sure whether or not every show was recorded in its entirety, and that the sound quality was decent enough. Brian May has said that the quality of many of the shows was bad, leaving them with only a half dozen or so shows to actually work with. I know that doesn't really say anything about the quality of the full show, but the fact that they used a small part of the second night in Paris for LK could mean that the recording of the show wasn't one the worst that were discarded immediately, because they were impossible to work with. |

One can assume they recorded entire concerts as opposed to fragments. I'd love to have a decent 1979 DVD release. |

Have you seen the 60-minute Paris 79 bootleg video? The only possible flaw in the time clock hypothesis is that they could have copied from one tape to another, and decided to cut out the middle of Now I'm Here.
Yes i have seen it a couple of times ;-). I tend to accept your explanation, however cutting out half songs (now im here / mustapha etc) is a typical DoRo VHS-reviewing-copy-transfer-method, just like the Houston 77 short version.....
OK the TC explanation sounds reasonable - lets not forget the Brazil TV 25min (?( version and the Champions docu (have to check them, havent seen for ages) also exist with Paris footage.
Remember more video footage of Brussels 79 turned up from QP, released for the Japanese TV...Actually, the Japanese broadcast was less than what had been broadcast before! My old VHS is a couple minutes longer. The Japanese broadcast were different > Jap 2004 - Brussels is indeed shorter in time than the original Folllies TV special (no crew interviews/Dreamers Ball, BUT includes FBG and BR which are NOT in the original special.Also the Rotterdam soundcheck has a short bit of It's Late as well, and the interview is slightly shorter than the TV broadcast. |

Now I'm Here 4. Bohemian Rhapsody 5. Tie Your Mother Down 6. Sheer Heart Attack 7. We Are The ChampionsThese tracks somehow became associated with the first night in Paris, and it's totally wrong. Just because Freddie says "Bonsoir Paris", and the song that follows (LMEY) doesn't match the 2-28 and 3-1 bootlegs doesn't mean every live song from "The Champions" has to be from the first night in Paris. The comment is actually from March 1st, and is the same as on the bootleg video. But then Let Me Entertain You is from some other show which can't be pin-pointed. Most of the other songs are great footage along with audio overdubbed with the Live Killers versions. But whoever edited the audio for this TV special was very tricky - the footage is from Japan, so they occasionally allow certain Freddie adlibs to sound, and then it seamlessly switches back to the LK audio. Perfectly smooth edits. But most importantly, none of it can actually be proven to be from Paris 2-27-79, or any other show, for that matter. And for the record, the versions of BoRhap and Sheer Heart Attack are clearly from Japan, as Freddie's voice is in absolutely horrible shape. These are probably the worst recordings of Freddie Mercury's voice in existence. |

Yeah, his voice was so weak during the shows in Japan 1979. I didn't enjoy listening to Kanazawa for example. I think Freddie sounded best in Munich 1979. If you talk about the LK tour. |
| deleted user 27.11.2005 17:50 |
Yeah, the Japanese shows are indeed not great. Although I enjoy 24.04.79, but especially during the second half of that show you hear Freddie's bad condition. On the other hand "Teo Torriatte" sounds PERFECT! |
| Rick 28.11.2005 07:50 |
Indeed. But he sings Keep Yourself Alive so crappy. Instead he sings very strange, low notes. Completely out of tune. Ah well, still nice shows anyway... |
| deleted user 28.11.2005 10:07 |
I enjoy Zoom 1979 (Osaka x2) very much actually, but Kanazawa and Sapporo wasn't as good as they used to be. I think they should release a concert which isn't on the bootleg market (or partly) or very known to the fans (if there exist one). Another thing I wonder is why the hell they released Tokyo 82.11.03, they were so uninspired and Freddie's voice wasn't good at all. |
| Fenderek 28.11.2005 10:40 |
It would be great to see a gig that isn't in the circulation but... seriously, is this possible? Not sure... I dunno- if I got Hammy 79 in awesome quality and full I'd probably go crazy... yes, we know it very well, but... to hear it PERFECT... Mmmmm.... Otherwise (and I already said that) I want Tokyo 75. C'mon, there's also a place for unrealistic dreams... |

personally, i cant wait for the third and final installment of the GVH series. I think that it will be next, followed by hopefully either Paris 79 (bonsoir paris, awesome SHA performance)or the Earls cour 77, but definitly a seventies one. Dropping songs like 'Spread Your Wings', 'fat bottomed girls' and 'somebody to love' from the setlist in the 80's was, i feel, a big mistake x et moi aussi je parle français. Je le trouve très injuste qu'on parle toujours en anglais. Les non-anglais, Vous parlez tous l'anglais fantastique! |
