I appreciate the thought, and you of course mean well but, i'm afraid it wouldn't matter in the end. Even if I put a watermark, or something to that effect into a portion of the picture, resellers on ebay and elsewhere would still sell it. They would just "forget" to mention it.

queenfanNY wrote: I'm leary of posting the entire video for download because I know some people will sell it on ebay and other places. I didn't pay $2,000 for a Sony hi-def video camera, so that whoever can profit from what I filmed, particularly for a video like this which is so above the norm of a typical lower quality audience shot vid.

queenfanNY wrote: I videotaped the entire Worcester 3/10 show in true 1080i 16x9 widescreen Hi-Definition! The picture quality is of course stunning. The audio is amazing quality too because I used an external microphone and my video camera has manual audio recording levels, which eliminates the "squashed" sound of automatic gain with auto only levels.

I will most likely post a few songs from it though for you guys to download and burn onto DVD-R. Having some of the show is better than none of the show, right? :) I was dead center at the show so, the angle is perfect. I didn't have any other fans standing in front of me blocking my view, or any camera ducks from security problems. There was 1 security guy in the tunnel to the left of the section I was in, but he was mostly worried about showing people to their seats. It's still always a nerve wracking thing though to videotape a show, at any moment you can get spotted and have the tape(s) taken. Check out some stills from my video, these are straight off the video, they haven't been touched up in photoshop or anything like that.

Zebonka12 wrote: queenfanNY, I have a real offer for you. Get back to me on this, but I've built a time machine and I'd like to send someone with your camera back in time to a few select Queen gigs. Nothing definite yet but I think your camera would be boundlessly useful at Knebworth or something.

pootle1 wrote: Yeah, sell it yourself on ebay on "buy it now" for $20 or so for a 2 disc set. I'm sure if you put loads on you'd sell a lot. Just don't send the DVDs out for a week or two to maximise sales and reduce the chance of someone else selling it while you're still selling it. Even a CD copy of the entire show would be appreciated by all the fans if you decided not to release the video.... Thanks, David

Forget Knebworth- Truro 1973, heh?

and I think that he doesn't care that much about a donation. It's just his point that he doesn't want that anybody can make profit of HIS DVD...

Well forget ebay.. if he was going to do this just take orders right here.. $20 would be an amazing deal for this. Obviously from my screename I am a Rush fan as well and I have 2 versions of that 3 Camera shoot Queenfan speaks of and it is the best show Rush show ever so even though this is a 1 shot I am sure it blows that Rush show away. I received mine through some Rush traders but we (like most real fans) never charge for anything that is out there for trade however this is one of those things even a real fan could sell. I mean if someone is going to make money it might as well be the guy who can recoup some camera cash.

YourValentine wrote: Rick, QueenfanNY filmed the Brian May (October) 1993 New Haven concert which is without a doubt the best available Queen related audience video ever. He shared this video on DAD for free. Apparently, he did not make much of a fuss about it or you would know that.

Thanks wrote: My own very limited experience of makign recordings has already taught me well. Next time, a handful of people will automatically get a copy, and nobody else will even know it exists. I would recommend NYfan to give whatever taster he's willing to, and then keep the rest for his own entertainment. Anything else will end up in the situation he'd want to avoid. No matter who you trust, eventually someone, even accidentally, letting you down. Or sell it to Jim Beach for $2000 then leak out copies...

TRS-Romania wrote: wow! those pics are awesome ...i would almost want to trade the full private freddie tape i have for it (but don't worry I won't!) ... It's like I did,... I just uploaded some small snippets of the video I have ... maybe QueenfanNY can also upload a few songs in mpg format (where they already shared?) ...for us to enjoy...so in the end everybody will be happy ... lets keep our fingers crossed Stefan PS Maybe i am blond, but I cant find the 15 minutes of footage that has been supposedly shared (?!)

PieterMC wrote: I don't think he is going to be selling it anytime soon. I wondered how long it would take for you to bring up HD-DVD ;-)

Does this mean that since this DVD was shot in HD and I've got HD cables on my TV that I can still see it in the same quality as it was shot if I were to see it? If so...coolness.

No, you would still need something capable of playing back the recording in HD. DVD is not capable of playing back HD.

My hair's a disgrace wrote: I don't post on here very often, although I've been around for a while now. No doubt you are being hounded by so many people for a full copy of your recording - this is understandable as we are true fans of this band. I, as have many others on here, recognise and appreciate your decision to protect your investment and your efforts from opportunists. I'd just like to say thank you for sharing what you have shared, and for taking the subject of audience recordings to a completely new level. Take care, MHAD

queenfanNY wrote: link Take a look at that link. Whoever this trancer@queencollector.com person is, he took 1 of my Worcester video stills, as seen here...... link ....... and used it for a video cover for a Philadelphia 2006 video, which he didn't even film, and is selling it for $15 plus shipping. This is a blatant misrepresentation of what a person would receive if they bought a Philly video from him, since the cover of the Philly video isn't even from that show.

queenfanNY wrote: I'm sorry for all you other good hearted fans but, seeing what this trancer person did, (and who knows what else I didn't stumble across online) just made me say to myself, "forget it".
