hello.
i was wondering if there is going to be a new queen concert dvd wich one should it be.
i hope that they release hammersmith 24/12/1975 on dvd with some extras from 1976/77 tour.

I hope for an BIG BOX Set with all 70's concerts...but I don't think this will ever happen....
As for now, I keep my fingers crossed for Houston'77 , awesome Performance, killer Set-List!
1. Hyde Park 1976
2. Earls Court 1977
3. Houston 1977
Although I agree that Hammersmith 1979 is a great concert with Freddie in superb shape, I do not hope this will be the next dvd. It almost has a simular setlist as the WWRY dvd (Montreal 1981) and it doesn't have enough songs of the first 5 great albums.
Hyde Park is just a historical gig for Queen, in front of 150.000 people. Great setlist and a very big drumkit haha :P
Earls Court is the best performance I've ever seen of them. Musicwise the vocals aren't the best I've ever heard.Great setlist and Brian is in very good shape and the band just seems to have a good time which is important.
Houston is also good ; it has a good setlist and musicwise they are in great shape. But I don't think the picture and audio quality of this concert is good enough for a proper dvd release.

Mmhh, the footage from Houston on Rare Live and Greatest Hits 1 looks superp for me...
Hyde Park is a historical Event, but there are some recording problems during this concert. Freddie's Voice sound a bit strange. I haven't seen the footage on the "ANATO" DVD, just have the QTV version, but the Audio quality is below average for an official release.
I wonder what else is hidden in the vaults. The Concerts in Munich 1978 and 1979 where filmed by German TV, in astounding quality. Especialy the '79 Concert is great, wonderfull camera angles and good sound. But i think the complete recordings are lost, since they where edited down for an TV Special.
I hope there will be a DVD release from a 70's Concert this year. Other Bands, for example Deep Purple, please their Fans even with Black & White footage (Live in Denmark '72). Surely not today's standard, but who cares?
Kiss released their Box Set with couple of 70's Concerts, some of them are too not perfect in Picture & Audio, but I don't care either!!
A version of Houston without the green shades and stripping lines would be like X-Mas and Birthday together for me....

Montreal 81 is already out on DVD (albeit a compliation of both nights). Queen Productions, I believe don't have access to video footage.
Based on quality and availability of material, I think if there is a release of a complete 70s concert, the only possibilities are these:
1) Rainbow 74
2) compilation of both Earls Court 77 nights
3) compilation of the three nights in Paris 79
4) something else that we don't know about, although it's beyond doubtful
Hammersmith 75 is most likely incomplete, Hyde Park and Houston aren't in great quality, and they're missing the multi-track from the Hammersmith 79 show. So that doesn't leave much. I doubt they filmed more of the Munich 78/79 shows, but it would be incredible if they did. The quality of those few songs is truly outstanding.
I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally want the Hammersmith 75 (24 Dec)!! This concert is my favorite but there is no complete version so if Queen Productions could release this concert!!
Or at least the Rainbow Theatre which is great too.
Or Hyde Park... OK I stop! :) Any concert of the 70's! :p

I'm shure they filmed in it's in entirety. But if the originals still exsist, in complete form, is pretty much unlikely. If you know these T.V. Station, (1st. German Television - it's not private station!) i'm shure they dumped the rest after ediding it down. This station and Rockmusic are too opposite words today, the only kind of music they broadcast these days is German Folk music, horrible!
Does QP even know these recordings exsist?

Who knows... but they're so secretive about their stash, so we'll probably never find out.

They should learn from Deep Purple's purplerecords! Incredible how much stuff from the 70's they re-discovered and released :-)
