Although I do agree with some of the posts here about sub par Queen-products in recent years, I am really happy about the forthcoming Montreal release. I had WWRY on video and always loved the show. When it was released on DVD I rushed into the store, saw the package, read the liner notes… and put it back in the shelf, as it clearly wasn’t a “Queen”-Product. The same with several european reissues of the 1985 Japanese Concert. Although I’d love to have it, I refuse to buy it when it is not official (apart from bootlegs of course, but those are mainly shows which will never be released officially anyway). Sounds strange, uh?
I still don’t see the connection to Live Aid, that’s really a bit strange, but what the heck. Give me anything anytime, much better than another compilation.[/QUOTE]
Nothing wrong with the Pioneer DVD of WWRY. It may not be by QP but it was still an 'official' release,as was the Live in Japan (Japanese issue).
QP are renowned for their 'sub par quality' DVD relaesese so anything from another company is well worth a look.
As for Live Aid on the new Montreal DVD, well it's just 'padding' to make it look like you're getting more value for your money.

At least QP aren't cutting off the top and bottom of the screen anymore I guess.
I still want to know how they justify taking charity money away from the Live-Aid DVD by including that performance though...that seems very un-Queen-like....

AFAIK it was filmed in 35mm 'open matte' so like the second Pioneer DTS DVD, it may well be in 1.85:1 and thus with it's 'top & bottom' cut off.
Personally I prefer the 4:3 version with the full un-masked frame. (no boom mics to hide here!)

I don't mind the photo of Freddie, but I hate the blue, and it is a bit boring. Queen used to have great album and single sleeves.
Maybe Deacy designed it... he likes blue, doesn't he? :)
